Sustainability and Endogenous Growth (New Horizons in Environmental Economics)
Karen Pittel Manufacturer: Edward Elgar Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1843760479 |
Book Description
During the last decade, interest in growth theory in the context of the environment has increased dramatically, resulting in a vast array of articles and books applying different modeling approaches and focusing on a variety of diverse topics. Dealing with endogenous growth under environmental restrictions, Karen Pittel provides a comprehensive survey of the field and highlights some important issues that have so far been rather neglected within the debate on sustainable growth.The book begins with a thorough review of the concepts of sustainable development and growth. Based upon the findings of this review, the focus shifts towards the specifics of integrating environmental concerns into endogenous growth models, which reveals some interesting new insights. Three particular facets of the environment-growth debate are then studied in detail:
the role of recycling in the quest for sustainable growth
the implications of endogenous time preference
the effects of economic integration on growth and pollution.
This well written and accessible book provides an extensive introduction to the issues of sustainability and endogenous growth, enhanced by a comprehensive review of the associated literature. It will be required reading for environmental economists, ecological economists, students and academics interested in sustainable development and growth, and growth theorists concerned with environmental issues.

Scuttle Your Ships before Advancing: And Other Lessons from History on Leadership and Change for Today's Managers
Richard A. Luecke Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0195096428 |
Book Description
In the spring of 1942, Japan's Admiral Yamamoto devised an ingenious strategy to attack Midway Island and deliver the knockout punch of the war in the Pacific. His elegant operational plan--which involved elaborate traps and diversions and required clockwork coordination--was founded on complete faith that he could predict the Americans' every move. But the perfect plan went wrong, and Japan's elite Strike Force was crushed, losing four carriers, over three hundred aircraft, and 2,500 men. What can today's business managers learn from Yamamoto's stunning defeat at the Battle of Midway? A great deal, according to Richard Luecke, and in Scuttle Your Ships Before Advancing, he illuminates lessons to be learned from Yamamoto and other leaders who have faced memorable crises. We find, for instance, the epitome of decisiveness and entrepreneurialism in Hernan Cortes, as he and a small band of 16th-century adverturers risked everything in a bold gamble for the Aztec empire (the book's title, Scuttle Your Ships, refers to Cortes' strategy that kept his men moving forward). Underdogs who would challenge the status quo can look to France's Louis XI, the "Spider King," and learn how he undermined entrenched rivals through patience and cunning. The Emperor Hadrian, in his consolidation of the sprawling Roman Empire, provides a brilliant model for managing today's multinational corporation. And attitudes toward technology and innovation are vividly illustrated by the 15th-century Battle of Agincourt, in which the stubborn refusal of the French to adopt their English enemy's weapon--the longbow--led to their massacre. From these and other historical episodes, Luecke shows how leadership, daring, and artful administration meant the difference between success and failure. He draws explicit lessons for managers from these long-ago events, and he also reveals parallels in the recent experiences of major corporations from GM to Shearson Lehman. And along the way, he evokes portraits of Martin Luther, W. Edwards Deming, and other visionaries as they struggled with the timeless challenges of authority, change, and human conflict. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Skillfully narrated, inspiring yet down-to-earth, Scuttle Your Ships Before Advancing serves up powerful historical lessons for all who would manage and lead in the twenty-first century.Customer Reviews:

Peace Without Profit: How the IMF Blocks Rebuilding in Mozambique (African Issues Series)
Joseph Hanlon Manufacturer: Heinemann ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0435074105 |
Book Description
Where is the boom that should have followed the end of Mozambique's bitter war? Postwar reconstruction is slow; the economic crisis continues. Peasants returned to the countryside, but no one came to buy their crops. Workers went back to their factories, but there was no money to buy their products. Hanlon has written widely about Mozambique; here he lays out the sad truths of the current situation. Deflation is the opposite of what is needed Mozambique has followed the IMF/World Bank prescription of structural adjustment: free market and deflation, deregulation and demand reductions. Wages, credit, and government spending have been cut. This stops the rebuilding of Mozambique in its tracks, and even prevents an active role by the private sector. The donors have launched an attack on the excesses of stabilization In 1995 donor representatives launched an unprecedented attack on the Bretton Woods institutions. Mozambique is one of the first African countries where postwar reconstructio

If you want a glimse into the career of the B-36 this is a great starting place. There is not much text (just a short introduction to several groupings of photos) but the paper is first rate and the photo reproduction is up the the standards this publisher has been maintaining in recent years.
Highly recommended.

The Purple Martin (Corrie Herring Hooks Series)
Robin Doughty , and Rob Fergus Manufacturer: University of Texas Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 029271615X |
Book Description
"This book is a convenient, one-stop source for scads of martin information and will make informative and pleasing reading for all of [the public] who are attracted to martins, including martin 'landlords.'"
William J. Graber III, past vice president, American Birding Association, and past president, Texas Ornithological Society and The Nature Conservancy of Texas
One of the surest harbingers of spring is the return of Purple Martins to the houses that people put up across the United States to attract these companionable birds. The bustle of courting, rearing nestlings, and fledging young martins fills the summer months, until approaching autumn lures the martins to their winter range in South America. Then human landlords refurbish their martin houses and wait for another round of this much-anticipated yearly cycle.
Robin Doughty and Rob Fergus here present a concise natural history of the bird and its centuries-long companionship with people. They discuss the martin's scientific classification and names, its migration and range, and its family life. They relate stories of how Native Americans and European colonists attracted Purple Martins and how Americans throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries helped martins survive the loss of natural nesting sites by providing houses for them. The authors also describe how whole communities have become centers for martin promotion and detail the many organizations and resources in print and on the Internet through which martin fans can communicate with each other and learn more about attracting and housing the birds.
