This book is an insider`s look at the secrets of landing a dream law firm job. [detailed...]

The Insistence of Beauty: Poems

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description `Mindful that the world is fragile and essentially subjective, Dunn has molded our eyes to accommodate what`s out there.`? Miami Herald `Beauty isn`t nice. Beauty isn`t fair…` So, in part, states an epigraph for this stunning new collection, his thirteenth, by the Pulitzer Prize winner for Poetry (2000). First traversing betrayal and loss, Stephen Dunn then moves to speak of new love, with its attendant pleasures and questioning. The title poem, perhaps emblematic of the book as a whole, is evocative of beauty`s often surprising manifestations?even in the light of tragedy?as on that terrible day `when those silver planes came out of the perfect blue.` Because beauty jars us, makes us look twice, it isas startling as a good poem, and as insistent. Fortunately, it is never too late to search for the right words for what we`ve seen, felt, endured. With quiet authority Dunn enacts what it feels like to be a particular man at a… [detailed...]

Brief, daytime mini-moves offset stress and make life more peaceful?the perfect prelude to sounder sleep. Nighttime mini-moves , done while lying quietly in bed, make it easy to fall asleep at bedtime and to recover from unwanted awakenings later in the night.

The Institutional Economics of Water: A Cross-Country Analysis of Institutions and Performance

Description: Book DescriptionThe Institutional Economics of Water evaluates water institutional reform and water sector performance from an institutional economics and political economy perspective. Against an exhaustive review of the theoretical and empirical literature on institution and performance both in general and in water sector contexts, the title develops an alternative methodology built on: `institutional ecology` principle, `institutional decomposition and analysis` framework, and `subjective theory` of institutional change. Empirical application of this methodology with information collected from 127 water experts from 43 countries/regions and a cross-country review of recent water sector reforms within an institutional transaction cost framework enables the book to conclude with significant implications for both theory and policy in the realm of water sector reform in particular and institutional reforms in general.Download DescriptionThe Institutional Economics of Water… [detailed...]

The Institutions of the Market: Organizations, Social Systems, and Governance

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book approaches markets as a dynamic ensemble of institutions, and as a set of rules or norms, that contribute to the evolution of social systems of governance, and can be analysed as a structured social system.

Using this `new institutionalist` approach, an international group of leading scholars examine the institutional foundations of economic change. Drawn from an array of disciplines, including Business, Organization Studies, Economics, and Sociology, the contributors address the organizational capabilities of firms, the social structuration of competition, and the diversity of governance mechanisms in the market.
