Description: Poet, novelist, journalist, and ethnographer, AmA?Arico Paredes (19151999) was a pioneering figure in Mexican American border studies and a founder of Chicano studies.

At the same time, SaldA?Avar reveals Paredes as a precursor to the A?AA?newA?AA?

y.
Publisher:
Description: Since 1990, when it was first published, The Borderless World has changed the way managers view the world and their businesses, and how they invent, marker, and compete in our new globally interlinked economy.

In this revised, updated edition, which features a new introduction by the author, Ohmae attributes the American economy of the 1990s to its seamless entry into the borderless world and looks forward toward an uncharted future. He casts a critical, though ultimately hopeful, eye on the financial crisis in Asia and especially in his home country of Japan. [detailed...]

The Boston Garden

2002 y.
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
Description: For seven decades, the Boston Garden functioned as both a de facto community center and the indoor entertainment hub of New England. Known to millions as the home of the Bruins and Celtics, the Garden was also home to a variety of other events. The Boston Garden was truly a people`s palace, serving as a venue for events both grand and humble, monumental and mundane. It was nothing less than the city`s playpen, music hall, political clubhouse, tavern, cathedral, and living room. The Boston Garden opened on November 17, 1928, to an overflow audience who witnessed local boxer Dick Honeyboy Finnegan defeat reigning world featherweight champion Andre Routis in a non-title bout. Three days later, the Bruins greeted a crowd that fire department officials estimated was nearly four thousand above maximum capacity. The Boston Garden captures these moments and the unique relationship that was forged with the city right from the beginning. During the Great Depression, the Garden hosted countless [detailed...]

The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: In the universally acclaimed and award-winning The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier reveals that fifty failed states--home to the poorest one billion people on Earth--pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world`s people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nations between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that ensnare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work, he writes, aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion [detailed...]

The Bottom Line on ROI: Basics, Benefits, &, Barriers to Measuring Training &, Performance Improvement

2002 y.
Publisher: CEP Press
Description: Most organizations spend less than 1% of their training budgets on measurement and evaluation, and this figure only covers post-program analysis. Yet to truly maximize the benefits of ROI, training and performance improvement programs should be measured throughout the planning and development process, and the required ROI expenditure should run closer to 4-5% of the training budget. But before jumping on the ROI `bandwagon,` you should first determine: 1. Whether your organization is a candidate for ROI, and 2. How to overcome the barriers to ROI. In The Bottomline on ROI , Phillips addresses these critical issues and more. You`ll learn: - The criteria for a credible, sound and effective ROI process, - How to identify the tangible and intangible benefits of training and performance improvement programs, - How to collect the data you need and convert it to monetary values.

Description: `A wonderful book, which confounds the conventional wisdom of limits and should put virtually every government energy program out of business` ( Washington Times ) `This is the only book I`ve ever seen that really explains energy, its history, and what it will be like going forward.` (Bill Gates) The sheer volume of talk about energy, energy prices, and energy policy on both sides of the political aisle suggests that we must know something about these subjects. But according to Peter W. Huber and Mark P. Mills, the things we think we know are mostly myths. A better understanding of energy will radically change our views and policies on a number of very controversial issues. In The Bottomless Well , Huber and Mills show why energy is not scarce, why the price of energy doesn`t matter very much, and why `waste` of energy is both necessary and desirable. Across the board, energy isn`t the problem, energy is the solution. `Provocative. [An] aggressive manifesto.` [detailed...]

After all, the combined experience of the forty-five authors reaches over a thousand years of development effort in thirty different disciplines.

The Bouchayers of Grenoble and French Industrial Enterprise, 1850-1970

y.
Publisher:
Description: The son of a village nail maker, Joseph Bouchayer forged a new identity in Grenoble and left as his legacy a thriving metalworking firm?Bouchayer et Viallet. His sons made this enterprise the dominant French producer of pipelines for the hydroelectric industry before 1914. As the Bouchayers became grands bourgeois, however, leisure, largesse, and individual prowess gradually displaced work, frugality, and family ties as core values. Without imaginative entrepreneurship after 1930, the firm lost momentum and finally terminated its century-old manufacturing operations in 1970. In The Bouchayers of Grenoble and French Industrial Enterprise, 1850-1970, historian Robert J. Smith explores a classic trajectory reminiscent of Thomas Mann`s Buddenbrooks. Drawing on family papers and business records spanning four generations, this narrative of the ascent of the Bouchayers and the eventual decline of their firm illuminates the complex relationship between family and class in the [detailed...]
