Beyond the City: The Rural Contribution to Development in Latin America and the Caribbean (Latin America and Caribbean Studies) (Latin America and Caribbean Studies)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Latin American and Caribbean history, rural societies have been at the center of both the origins of prosperity and of social upheaval. Rural communities have access to a wealth of natural resources, including arable land and forests, yet they face the highest poverty rates within countries. Characterized by low population densities and located far from the major urban centers, rural communities must overcome severe restrictions in their access to public services and private markets, even in some countries where public expenditures per inhabitant are higher in rural than in urban communities. Beyond the City evaluates the contribution of rural development and policies to growth, poverty alleviation, and environmental degradation in the rest of the economy, as well as in the rural space. This title brings together new theoretical and empirical treatments of the links between rural and national development. New findings and are combined with existing literature to enhance our… [detailed...]

Beyond the Darkness : A Biography of Bede Griffiths

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comTo hear about a Catholic monk who meditates and seeks nondual union with Christ doesn`t seem so astonishing anymore. That`s because Bede Griffiths began blazing a trail to the East as far back as 1955. You might call Bede the Thomas Merton of England, except that Bede delved further into Eastern spirituality than Merton ever dreamed of doing. In Beyond the Darkness , Shirley Du Boulay traces Bede`s ascetic tendencies back to early experiments in communal living after graduating from Oxford. A staunch atheist, Bede, like his professor and friend C.S. Lewis, then rediscovered the spiritual profundity of the Christian tradition. After entering the monkhood, a certain unarticulated pantheism led Bede to pursue the wide-open spiritual landscapes of the East, and to `discover the other half of my soul.` In the 1950s, when the rest of the West turned to science and materialism for salvation, he donned the saffron robes of a Hindu monk and started a Catholic ashram in southern… [detailed...]

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mergers and acquisitions are happening in record numbers, with billions of dollars changing hands and major corporate deals making headlines every day. But the harsh reality is that most deals fail. Why? Because the companies didn`t plan, didn`t prepare, and didn`t perform up to expectations. They didn`t think beyond the deal. This revolutionary guide--written by two top consultants who`ve worked with some of the biggest companies in the world--goes beyond other books on the subject by giving you a complete, systematic “framework” of hands-on strategies for every step of the process. No matter which side of the acquisition you`re on, what stage of the game you`re at, or whatever level of management you`re in, you will learn how to create new value for yourself, recognize new opportunities for your team--and inspire unprecedented levels of performance for your organization. If you`ve got “the urge to merge” and the need to succeed, Beyond the Deal offers a wealth of… [detailed...]

Beyond the Dot.coms: The Economic Promise of the Internet

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In just a few years, the Internet has had a visible impact on the daily lives of many Americans. But the recent demise of many of the `dot coms` that symbolized the Internet revolution has raised warning flags about its future. Until now, discussionof the impact of the Internet on the economy has been mostly speculation. In Beyond the Dot.coms, two of the nation`s most respected economists articulate the anticipated economic impact of the Internet over the next five years. Drawing from detailed research conducted by the Brookings Task Force on the Internet and the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy (BRIE) Internet Task Force (see page 10), Robert Litan and Alice Rivlin address the Internet`s potential impacts on productivity, prices, and market structure. The research suggests that the most significant economic impact of the Internet will be its potential to increase productivity growth in the existing economy-with cheaper transactions, greater management… [detailed...]

Beyond the End of the Road: A Winter of Contentment North of the Arctic Circle

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Join Kathleen and Michael Pitt as they leave the comfort and temperate climate of suburban Vancouver to spend an isolated winter north of the Arctic Circle. With neither power nor running water, over 40 kilometres from the nearest community of 75 people, this middle-aged couple learns to embrace temperatures that regularly fall below minus 40 degrees. From their home base in a small, one-room cabin, they seek the challenge of winter camping and the adventure of expeditions across the ice. In January 1999, the Pitts flew by Twin Otter to Colville Lake to pursue Michael`s life-long dream of living beyond the reach of roads and concrete. By the time the ice went out of the lakes and rivers in mid-June, their lives had been changed forever. Michael and Kathleen Pitt had been paddling the rivers of Northern Canada for ten years. Yet their experience seemed incomplete. Summer is for visitors. Michael needed to spend a winter in the North, where rivers, lakes and muskeg remain frozen for 7… [detailed...]

Beyond the Fields: Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the Struggle for Justice in the 21st Century

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Cesar Chavez is the most prominent Latino in United States history books, and much has been written about Chavez and the United Farm Worker`s heyday in the 1960s and `70s. But left untold has been their ongoing impact on 21st century social justice movements. Beyond the Fields unearths this legacy, and describes how Chavez and the UFW`s imprint can be found in the modern reshaping of the American labor movement, the building of Latino political power, the transformation of Los Angeles and California politics, the fight for environmental justice, and the burgeoning national movement for immigrant rights. Many of the ideas, tactics, and strategies that Chavez and the UFW initiated or revived--including the boycott, the fast, clergy-labor partnerships and door-to-door voter outreach--are now so commonplace that their roots in the farmworkers` movement is forgotten. This powerful book also describes how the UFW became the era`s leading incubator of young activist talent, creating a… [detailed...]

Beyond the Final Score: There`s More to Life Than the Game

Publisher: —
Description: From the vast farmlands of Nebraska to the halls of Congress to the Green Zone in Iraq, Tom Osborne has become a legend by serving those around him and by always putting his God first. Perhaps no college football program in history has seen as much success as Osborne`s did under his watch (255 wins in 25 seasons). But there is much more to Tom Osborne. Beyond the Final Score chronicles his years as a congressman, educator, family man, mentor and now athletic director. It reveals the character, values and faith that have grounded him throughout his incredible journey. Like a good memoir, Beyond the Final Score goes right to the heart of a true American legend. It takes the reader on a walk trough surprising moments (such as the day he began training Iraqi women on how to change their nation), profound insights (there is more prayer in Washington than one might think) and many less-than-serious moments (such as the day he thought he was going to teach his wife how to fish).

Beyond the Front Lines

2004 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: The recent war with Iraq has had the greatest impact on journalism since the Vietnam War. Before the next war arrives, how the news media cover conflict - and international affairs more generally - should be scrutinized. The questions explored in this book include: Were embedded journalists` reports from Iraq overused and was context sacrificed in favor of drama? Is the relationship between news organizations and the Pentagon too cozy? Has Al-Jazeera`s impact been underestimated? Is the Internet superseding other media? Has public diplomacy become mired in clumsy propaganda? Do policy makers understand how news coverage affects global politics? `Beyond the Front Lines` examines news coverage of modern war, with particular emphasis on the performance of journalists during the 2003 U.S.-Iraq war. It also analyzes the relationship between news coverage and American foreign policy, as well as how… [detailed...]

Description: The book is the result of a nationwide survey in the UK that measured public use of and attitudes to the past, archaeology and collecting. The author reviews this research in the light of contemporary theory on ideology and representation and goes on to develop a convincing explanation for the failure of museums and similar institutions to connect with the majority of the public. Merriman marshals the empirical and theoretical work to make a powerful case for a new approach to attract the underserved populations, one which encourages a view of the museum as a service helping its public to see, understand and engage with its own personal, local and multi-faceted past.

Beyond the Gray Flannel Suit: Books from the 1950s That Made American Culture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWriters of the 1920s, such as Hemingway and Fitzerald, have been heralded as The Lost Generation, and an earlier generation formed The American Renaissance. Far less critical attention has been paid to mid-20th-century literature and how a super-charged body of writing changed our perceptions of the world. Beyond the Gray Flannel Suit considers the books of our lives, which shaped our times whether we realize it or not. Where did the youth culture come from? Why do people argue over pop and high culture? How do race and ethnicity play a significant part in an artist`s work? By examining a carefully selected range of books and authors, Castronovo helps us understand the true significance of the remarkable literary explosion that took place between the late 1940s and the JFK years. Here are Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Bernard Malamud, and Flannery O`Connor `breaking through.` `Youth Reinvented` includes Salinger, Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. What is called… [detailed...]

Information systems can no longer be viewed as a support service for a business ? information technology now has a lead role to play in the strategic planning processes of any organization. As we move further and further into a technology-based working environment, a critical question is how the value ofIT can be measured and evaluated. This book brings together a group of the most eminent academic and practitioner thinkers in the area, to consolidate what we know about best IT evaluation practice in a comprehensive and integrated manner, and also provide new ways forward. The key to understanding the productivity paradox is the methods of IT measurement used.

Description: For most tracking applications the Kalman filter is reliable and efficient, but it is limited to a relatively restricted class of linear Gaussian problems. To solve problems beyond this restricted class, particle filters are proving to be dependable methods for stochastic dynamic estimation. Packed with 867 equations, this cutting-edge book introduces the latest advances in particle filter theory, discusses their relevance to defense surveillance systems, and examines defense-related applications of particle filters to nonlinear and non-Gaussian problems. With this hands-on guide, you can develop more accurate and reliable nonlinear filter designs and more precisely predict the performance of these designs. You can also apply particle filters to tracking a ballistic object, detection and tracking of stealthy targets, tracking through the blind Doppler zone, bi-static radar tracking, passive ranging (bearings-only tracking) of maneuvering targets, range-only tracking,… [detailed...]
