Robert William Fogel
The Escape from Hunger and Premature Death, 1700-2100: Europe, America, and the Third World (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Nobel laureate Robert Fogel`s compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology from 1700 to 2100. Although throughout most of human history, chronic malnutrition has been the norm, a synergy between improvements in productive technology and human physiology has enabled humans to more than double their average longevity and to increase their body size by over fifty percent over the past three centuries. Larger, healthier humans have contributed to the acceleration of economic growth and technological change, resulting in reduced economic inequality, declining hours of work and a corresponding increase in leisure time. Increased longevity has also brought increased demand for health care. Fogel argues that health care should be viewed as the growth industry of the twenty-first century and systems of financing it should be reformed. His book will be essential reading for all interested in economics, demography, history and health care policy. A professor at the University… [detailed...]

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book shows how to achieve virtuoso performance in business. Strategic and practical, the author starts by identifying the key minimum activities that make any business successful. He then shows how becoming better than rivals at carrying out those activities is what provides a business with four distinct layers of strategic competitive advantage: The first layer of advantage comes from carrying out the basic activities better than rivals. This is Operations. The second layer comes from balancing and aligning the different parts to optimize the business as a whole. This is Leadership. The third layer comes from fine-tuning the way the activities are carried out to match the particular area of the economy where the business is operating. This is Strategy. And the fourth and ultimate layer of strategic advantage comes when the business connects all its different activities together in a way that generates higher levels of performance at them all.

Yang Chengfu
The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan

2005 y.
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
Description: The publication in 1934 of Yang Chengfu`s book, Essence and Applications of Taijiquan (Taijiquan Tiyong Quanshu) marked a milestone in the modern evolution of the art of taijiquan. Using what is best-termed demonstration narrative, the author presents for postures and suggested applications from his own perspective, as he performed them. This methodology renders Yang Chengfu`s direct, hands-on teaching of the art with such immediacy and liveliness that the reader experiences the master’s teaching much as is students did. This English translation finally makes Yang Chengfu`s classic work available to taijiquan enthusiasts in the West. It includes notes and commentary that clarify the author`s frequent classical and literary turns of phrase and eucidate the philosophical and political underpinnings that shape the text. The translator investigates and compares several early taijiquan books in order to help explain the roles played by two of Yang Chengfu`s students, Dong… [detailed...]

The Essence of Capitalism : The Origins of Our Future

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Essence of Capitalism is a timely account of globalization, the consumer culture, and the historical roots of our contemporary dilemmas. By tracking the 130-year history of Coca-Cola (and a number of other large American or transnational corporations), this book details all that is best, worst and most powerful about global capitalism. Using Coca-Cola`s rise as a case study, here is the tale of how Coca-Cola employed marketing and business practices that enabled it to expand beyond its original market (that which a horse-drawn cart could cover in a day) to -today`s massive corporate status. Through the use of the franchise, extreme quality control and powerful marketing, it shows how Coca-Cola-a company with virtually one product that nobody actually needs and that is, in its original sugar-laden form, plainly very bad for people-went from being a feel-good tonic in competition with more than a thousand other similar drinks to being the major market… [detailed...]

Enzo Tiezzi, E. Tiezzi
The Essence of Time (The Sustainable World)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: With the ever-accelerating pace of daily life, the modern age seems to demand that science, too, should respond at speed. In this book Enzo Tiezzi highlights the continuity between the physical-mathematic and humanistic sciences. He also urges us to reflect on the tempo of the modern era, and to contrast it with the brilliance and complexity of the human relationship with a living world. An illuminating guide to the key scientific ideas of our time which relate ecology with economy with the laws of thermodynamics, and those that highlight an understanding of the human relationship with planet earth, the text traces themes such as entropy to negentropy, flux of energy and material and information. The result is an exploration of great scientific depth and the most complete historical survey to date of the ideas behind ecological economics. [detailed...]

The Essence of Who We Are

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Organizational Identity (OI) has traditionally been defined as those core, distinctive, and enduring features unique to an institution, however, advances in organizational research prompt a reconceptualization of OI in light of communication\`s role in projecting and maintaining the modern organization\`s identity. This book offers a revised definition of OI emphasizing a company\`s communicated values as central to its identity. The author then develops and applies a method for OI assessment in a case study examining the first five years of a fledgling organization: The United Church of God, an International Association. Results of a longitudinal study indicate that United generally projects a similar value pattern from 1995-2000 with slight variation. Based on these results, three findings are advanced regarding United\`s OI. The implications of this study are addressed in terms of what they mean for United and for OI inquiry, in general.

The Essential Agrarian Reader: The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Foreword by Barbara Kingsolver A compelling worldview with advocates from around the globe, agrarianism challenges the shortcomings of our industrial and technological economy. Not simply focused on farming, the agrarian outlook encourages us to develop practices and policies that promote the health of land, community, and culture. Agrarianism reminds us that no matter how urban we become, our survival will always be inextricably linked to the precious resources of soil, water, and air. This understanding demands that we become active caregivers of the earth and its life-giving sources. Combining fresh insights from the disciplines of education, law, history, urban and regional planning, economics, philosophy, religion, ecology, politics, and agriculture, these original essays develop a sophisticated critique of our culture?s current relationship to the land, while offering practical alternatives. Leading agrarians, including Wendell Berry, Vandana Shiva, Wes Jackson,… [detailed...]

Writing in 1885, Forster tells us that, while the `angler`s skill has advanced wondrously` since the time of Izaak Walton, `keenness of perception and wariness have developed among the denizens of the liquid element in a degree quite proportionate`. However, armed with this volume, as readable and relevant today as any contemporary manual, `let there be clear water, clear weather and clear scope for observation` and any enthusiast may pit his or her `uperior intelligence against the animal instincts of the brute creation`.
