The Reduced History of Golf: The Story of the Royal &, Ancient Game Squeezed into 72 Holes

2008 y.
Publisher: Andre Deutsch
Description: The beloved traditional game is celebrated here with a dog-legged compilation of sports reports, comical correspondence, and reminiscences from pros, caddies, playing partners, and armchair pundits. Among the highlights are Mary Queen of Scots cheering herself up at the links at Leith following the murder of her husband, Lord Damley, Dwight D.Eisenhower`s valet shooting the breeze as he clears up the Oval Office following a particularly grueling presidential putting practice session, Bob Hope`s chauffeur experimenting with some one-liners while waiting for his boss in the clubhouse car park, and John Daly`s local bartender describing the unique skills of his best customer. The albatrosses, the Big Berthas, the yips, and the holes-in-one that have provided the perfect excuse to linger at the 19th hole are all amusingly recalled. [detailed...]

Readers will delight in the ridiculous remembrances of the gentlemen and the players, the ladies and the ball-boys, the coaches and the gurus, and the umpires and the line judges that have graced and disgraced the quintessential game of high summer. The clean aces, racket abuse, net cords, strawberries and cream, the on-court tantrums, and the little white dresses that got the crowd oohing and ahhing in the fruity manner of Dan Maskell are amusingly recalled.

2005 y.
Publisher: Two Little Fishies, Inc., d.b.a. Ricordea Publishing
Description: The Reef Aquarium Volume Three: Science, Art, and Technology Reefkeeping science involves the interplay of biology, chemistry, and physics. However, a reef aquarium is not simply a product of scientific knowledge. The application of engineering and its product technology, makes it possible to duplicate the specific biological, chemical, and physical requirements of a coral reef in a relatively small volume of water. This third volume in The Reef Aquarium series, provides the most thorough description of the science behind the creation of a captive reef, and critically reviews and explains the different philosophical approaches to reef aquarium design. It also describes and illustrates the existing as well as emerging technology for building reef aquariums, to help guide the selection of equipment, its proper use, and installation. While science and technology afford the blank canvas and tools to build a suitable life support system, the plants, animals, and of course the aquarist… [detailed...]

The Reemergence of Self-Employment: A Comparative Study of Self-Employment Dynamics and Social Inequality

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents results of a cross-national research project on self-employment in eleven advanced economies and demonstrates how and why the practice is reemerging in modern societies. While traditional forms of self-employment, such as skilled crafts work and shop keeping, are in decline, they are being replaced by self-employment in both professional and unskilled occupations. Differences in self-employment across societies depend on the extent to which labor markets are regulated and the degree towhich intergenerational family relationships are a primary factor structuring social organization. For each of the eleven countries analyzed, the book highlights the extent to which social background, educational attainment, work history, family status, and gender affect the likelihood that an individual will enter--and continue--a particular type of self-employment. While involvement with self-employment is becoming more common, it is occurring for individuals in activities that… [detailed...]

The Referral of a Lifetime: The Networking System that Produces Bottom-Line Results . . . Every Day!

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Using a fable format, this first entry in Berrett-Koehler`s new Ken Blanchard series of fun and practical business books offers a simple approach to getting a steady flow of referrals of prospective customers and clients. The story follows Susie McCumber, who`s about to give up on her business. Before she returns to an unsatisfying job, a friend refers her to a mysterious person named David Michael Highground. This leads her to something new: treating business relationships as long-term investments (realizing the lifetime value of a client) as opposed to short-term investments (getting the sale and moving on). McCumber - and the reader - learns that investing in a system that projects integrity, character, and service will ultimately reduce stress, buildself-esteem, and create a lasting, enjoyable business.

The Reformation of Charity: The Secular and the Religious in Early Modern Poor Relief (Studies in Central European Histories)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEarly modern Europe witnessed changes in the social, political, and ecclesiastical structures supporting poor relief, but notions that sharp fault lines divide rationalized, secular poor relief from morally and spiritually motivated ecclesiastical charity need rethinking. Spiritual ideals shaped political and social poor relief structures just as much as rationalization and effective administration colored ecclesiastical charity efforts. Poor relief reflects a local community. A community?s unique history, culture, political agenda, social mores, and religious ideals converge to shape how it responds to poverty, whatever the context: religious, political, or private (the elite). Sweeping statements and broad generalizations mustbe placed under the lamp of local circumstances. Theory and practice must unite. These studies take seriously the richness and humanity of early modern poor relief, the danger and desperation of poverty in a community, as well as the… [detailed...]

This book analyzes EU regional policy and its co-ordination with other European and national public policies, namely investment grants, research and development policy and transport policy. The analysis identifies shortcomings within the EU regional policy as well as coordination problems with other public policies, and it demonstrates how cohesion problems are often dueto a lack of policy coordination at the domestic level.

The Regionalization of the World Economy (National Bureau of Economic Research Project Report)

Publisher: —
Description: Regional economic arrangements such as free trade areas (FTAs), customs unions, and currency blocs, have become increasingly prevalent in the world economy. Both pervasive and controversial, regionalization has some economists optimistic about the opportunities it creates and others fearful that it may corrupt fragile efforts to encourage global free trade. Including both empirical and theoretical studies, this volume addresses several important questions: Why do countries adopt FTAs and other regional trading arrangements? To what extent have existing regional arrangements actually affected patterns of trade? What are the welfare effects of such arrangements? Several chapters explore the economic effects of regional arrangements on patterns of trade, either on price differentials or via the gravity model on bilateral trade flows. In addition, this book examines the theoretical foundation of the gravity model. Making extensive use of the gravity model of bilateral trade,… [detailed...]

The Regulation of Monopoly

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study shows how to develop ideal policies when monopoly must be relied upon in place of competition and it explains why it will be difficult to induce monopolies to pursue such policies. The author develops economic welfare foundations that allow for the evaluation of an enterprise`s performance from a social welfare point of view. When competition can function it brings out the best possible performance. When competition cannot function, however, welfare foundations can be used to prescribe socially desirable policies. Without competition, an enterprise is not induced to pursue these policies. Indeed, incentives created within public utilities are shown to be quite undesirable. The book examines what is known about ways to improve these incentives and familiarizes the reader with all major tools of analysis for monopoly regulation. [detailed...]

The Regulation of the Power Sector in Africa : Attracting Investment and Protecting the Poor (African Energy Policy Research)

2005 y.

Description: Book Description Attracting private investment and delivery of services to the poor majority are priority goals for reforming and regulating the power sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. The licensing process and the tariff regime are important determinants of new investment in the electricity industry. For the licensing process to attract private investors, the procedures must be clear and must function efficiently and transparently, while the tariff regime must reflect actual costs. This book examines the extent to which the twin goals of attracting investment and providing energy to the poor are addressed by the existing legal and regulatory framework. By studying six countries in the east and southern African region, some helpful lessons worth sharing with other African countries are learned. [detailed...]
