Jacques Perrin, Jean-Francois Mongibeaux
Winged Migration

2001 y.
Publisher: Editions du Seuil, Chronicle Books
Description: Migration is an enigma. Who knows why the cuckoo, born in Europe, flies alone to the far forests of Africa, home of its ancestors? Or how the Arctic tern can fly over ten thousand miles on its astonishing journey from pole to pole? Yet birds of every feather, from the tiny-swallow to the giant albatross, the pelican to the swan, make incredible migrations year after year. Jacques Perrin (producer of `Microcosmos`) assembled a team of specialists to follow birds on their mysterious journeys over the course of four years. The result is the Oscar -nominated documentary `Winged Migration` and this seminal volume. In word and image, this book explores the hows and whys of migration. Visually, it is extraordinary, providing 272 pages and gatefolds of unique, bird`s-eye views of breathtaking voyages. The photographers also take you behind the scenes and reveal their groundbreaking techniques to capture never-before-seen shots of birds in flight. Jean-Francois Mongibeaux, who traveled… [detailed...]

Yet as friends, ex-lovers, adventures, and opportunities emerge, Catherine begins to realize that her life will not end with her daughter`s departure, but begin anew. With wit, charm, and candor, she reveals her journey of rediscovering herself through one of life`s most universal transitions, including the lesson that… [detailed...]

Winner Take All: A Top Commodity Trader Tells It Like It Is

Publisher: —
Description: The futures industry is unique, entertaining and, for far too many people, ultimately heartbreaking. What other industry possesses such an entertaining cast of soothsayers, self-proclaimed experts and charlatans? Where else do people become fabulously wealthy simply by acting on their own convictions? And where else does the possibility of failure loom so large and so constant? No other book captures the essence of the futures industry better than Winner Take All. With a penetrating intelligence and a sharp wit, Bill Gallacher dissects many of the industry`s leading lights, exposing the frauds, deflating the pompous and poking fun at the seers who believe they can predict the future. Along the way, he demonstrates why most traders lose and, most importantly, what it takes to win. Winner Take All is a book for all traders. For those who believe in easy-money trading systems, it is a sobering antidote. For those who think the markets can`t be beaten, it is a work of great inspiration…. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Over the past thirty years, the United States has lost commanding leads in business after business. We no longer make cameras, TVs, MP3 players, cell phones, or DVD players, and we have become the world’s largest debtor nation. Everyone thinks this is because of cheap labor costs, but in fact Asian leaders have a fundamental and different way of thinking about business. They are playing a different game. If the U.S. wants to regain its competitiveness and preserve its global power, it must play the game as it’s played in the rest of the world. Winner Take All tells us what it takes to be competitive, and how we need to reform our thinking to regain what we have lost. Richard Elkus isn’t afraid to bring a few sacred cows to the slaughter. This is the essential primer for any policy maker, business leader, or general reader interested in knowing how America can regain the economic clout it once had. [detailed...]

Home to some of the world`s grandest, flashiest, and most lucrative casino resorts, Las Vegas, with its multitude of attractions, draws some forty million tourists from around the world every year. But Vegas hasn`t always been booming at the level it is today. This newest influx is largely a result of three competing business moguls.

Description: The second great transformation of our society in the modern era has demoted manufacturing to a position that is secondary to the service industries, thus originating today`s information society. This volume examines how massive social change over the past few decades has created a new set of winners and losers and what this has done to society. The author rejects the orthodox explanations for the losers` plight--such as job stagnation, income inequality, and an increase in crime and violence--and arguesthat the main causes of success or failure in today`s society are psychosocial. While today`s losers lack the character structure and values that would help them adjust to change, the winners--the Chameleons--have acquired a character structure symmetrical with the needs of the new society.
