United Nation Environment Programme


Global Environment Outlook United Nation Environment Programme The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) takes a participatory assessment approach to the crucial study of the global environment. It is a snapshot of an ongoing worldwide environmental assessment process, incorporating regional views and perceptions and building consensus on priority issues and actions. Input was solicited from 20 collaborating centres, from United Nations organizations, and through regional policy consultations. GEO describes the environmental status and trends in seven regions, summarizesdevelopments over time in regional policy responses, and concludes with an exploration, based on model analysis, of what we might expect in the future for a selected number of environmental issues if no major policy reforms are initiated. GEO shows that although significant progress has been made in the last decade in confronting environmental challenges, both in developing and industrial regions, the global environment has nevertheless continued to degrade. The Report argues that... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) takes a participatory assessment approach to the crucial study of the global environment.

The Economics of Barter and Countertrade: 24 Articles, Dating from 1974 to 1998 (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics Series, No 138)

Rolf Mirus, Bernard Yeung


The Economics of Barter and Countertrade: 24 Articles, Dating from 1974 to 1998 (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics Series, No 138) Rolf Mirus, Bernard Yeung ?Countertrade is a more common phenomenon than many people realise, especially in East-West and North-South trade. Yet, superficially, countertrade is inefficient in comparison to monetary trade. The paradox of how an apparently inefficient trading mechanism can become so dominant attracted increasing theoretical interest in the 1970s and 1980s. The editors of this volume were amongst the intellectual leaders in the field. The literature on countertrade is quite diffuse, and the editors have performed a major service by bringing together the important contribution in a single volume. This will be an important source of reference for many years to come.? - Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK ?Mirus and Yeung have been pioneers inshowing that countertrade is economically efficient. Here, a surprisingly large literature supports their insight. The papers use aspects of transaction cost economics to examine the efficiency aspects of countertrade.? - Alan... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин ?Countertrade is a more common phenomenon than many people realise, especially in East-West and North-South trade.

The Book of Life: A Personal and Ethical Guide to Race, Normality, and the Implications of the Human Genome Project

Barbara Katz Rothman


The Book of Life: A Personal and Ethical Guide to Race, Normality, and the Implications of the Human Genome Project Barbara Katz Rothman The new genetics and race, illness, and procreation. Scientists are racing to unravel the code of life in our DNA sequences. But once we know the code, will we know what life means? Will we know what to do with the powerful-healing, destructive, and marketable-information we will have? Barbara Katz Rothman's warm, learned, passionate, and humorous voice is just the one we need to guide us through some of the most loaded issues and technologies of our time-ones that bear on the most intimate aspects of our lives. Her astute observations about the new genetics are combined with personal reflections: about raising a black child; the risks of cancer; midwives and pregnancy; the social web into which we are born; motherhood; time, growth, chance, and all the indefinable things that make us human. She helps us to think about the place of genetic science in our own lives, its role in our social world, and how we choose to think about human life itself. A genetic map will take... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The new genetics and race, illness, and procreation. Scientists are racing to unravel the code of life in our DNA sequences.

The Best Business Advice in History: Translated for the American Workplace

The Best Business Advice in History: Translated for the American Workplace Kevin Orlin Johnson What happens when a best-selling author with a liberal-arts degree (and a minor in Finance, in case the bottom ever fell out of Art History) finds himself Managing Director of a national book distributor? You?ll be surprised?he sure was. After the initial shock wore off, Kevin Orlin Johnson, Ph.D., found that quotes, quips, and other historical tidbits he?d picked up in his eleven years of graduate school came back to him unbidden and?in a little under a year?helped him build a wretched little debt-ridden startup into a thriving distribution dynamo serving hundreds of publishers nationwide and posting quarterly growth rates exceeding 4000 percent ( What happens when a best-selling author with a liberal-arts degree (and a minor in Finance, in case the bottom ever fell out of Art History) finds himself Managing Director of a national book distributor?

Theories of Communication Networks

Peter R. Monge, Noshir S. Contractor


Theories of Communication Networks Peter R. Monge, Noshir S. Contractor To date, most network research contains one or more of five major problems. First, it tends to be atheoretical, ignoring the various social theories that contain network implications. Second, it explores single levels of analysis rather than the multiplelevels out of which most networks are comprised. Third, network analysis has employed very little the insights from contemporary complex systems analysis and computer simulations. Foruth, it typically uses descriptive rather than inferential statistics, thus robbing it of the ability to make claims about the larger universe of networks. Finally, almost all the research is static and cross-sectional rather than dynamic. Theories of Communication Networks presents solutions to all five problems. The authors develop a multitheoretical model that relates different social science theories with different network properties. This model is multilevel, providing a network decomposition that applies the various social theories to all network... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин To date, most network research contains one or more of five major problems.
