                      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.

                        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.

                        4 out of 5 stars Good book - and many fine lessons.......1999-04-09

                        This books takes its title from the Spanish conquest of Central America where (I think it was Cortez...it's been a while since I read the book). The Spanish came ashore with the idea of conquering the indigenous population and scuttled their ships in order to wipe out any chance of restreat. What's interesting is the weaving of history and management styles. A book worth reading if you wonder what comes next in management fads. They've all been pretty much tried...and the book makes this abundantly clear.

                            Book Description

                            This book provides an up-to-date and well-informed overview of the debate on employment. The contributors ask: is full employment possible? Would it lead to inflation, excess of trade union power, and balance of payment deficits? Is full employment affordable? They face up to these questions
                            and consider what would be involved in a move to much lower levels of unemployment. This is a worthwhile and original contribution to current policy debate.

                                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

                                    The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" was the last of the classic heavy bombers, bristling with gun turrets and piston engines driving huge propellers. Born in the desperate days of World War II, the B-36 became an icon of the early Cold War when it represented the only weapon that could reach the Soviet Union from bases in North America. But technology was changing rapidly, and the advent of all-jet-powered bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles conspired to make the B-36 obsolete after only a few short years of service. The airplane was retired only a decade after it entered service, and nobody who ever heard the thunder of the six Pratt & Whitney engines will ever forget the experience.An in-depth history of the B-36 may be found in Magnesium Overcast: The Story of the Convair B-36, by Dennis R. Jenkins. This scrapbook began as a collection of illustrations that were assembled for Magnesium Overcast but would not fit into the finished work. Since many of these are significant - or at least interesting - and most have never been published previously, it was decided to print the scrapbook as a companion volume to Magnesium Overcast. However, as work went into the scrapbook, additional images and illustrations were discovered and are also included here. With over 300 b/w and color photos, this scrapbook provides an excellent visual look at a very exciting period of the Cold War.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A View of the Past.......2004-12-09

                                    Anybody looking for a history of the B-36 will be disappointed in this book - go buy Magnesium Overcast by the same authors instead. But if you want a companion to Magnesium Overcast, or simply to look at a hundred pages of terrific photographs, then this is the book for you. The author says this book was compiled from some of the photos "left over" from his larger book, and I am glad the publisher had the good sense to print this book. Many of the photos have never been seen before, and are reproduced crisply on good paper. There is very little text - just expanded captions and a few paragraphs here and there to explain things. If you are interested in the B-36, buy this book.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Excellent photos.......2004-08-08

                                    This book has some great photos, mostly of items that were left out of the Magnesium Overcast book by the same authors. It's much smaller and paperback, but with quality print and paper, and a color section in the center. My favorite photos are some of those of the interior of the B-36 taken by set designers for planning of the movie Strategic Air Command. There are many angles from the belly of the beast, with all of the knobs and dials and uncomfortable seats, all uncensored by nervous Cold War editors that usually white out details like the atomic bomb controls and ECM gear. I also loved the "family portrait" shots that contained one of each plane in the Air Force back in the 50s. Any photos with both the B-36 and B-52 (my other favorite) are always excellent.

                                    This book is worth every penny of its low price for the photos. The only reason I do not give it a perfect score is that the Magnesium Overcast book is the one worthy of five stars. It has far more information and photos, and if you can only get one of these books, get that first. But you should get the set of the two if you are a fan of the old B-36 or old planes in general, because these are some of the best-reseached and written books of this sort I've ever seen.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Terrific Photos.......2003-11-09

                                    As you would expect from a book advertising itself as a "photo scrapbook" this small publication is crammed with a wide variety of color and B&W photos of the B-36 (and a few of the XC-99 and YB-60 thrown in). A small percentage of these photos were published in the author's Magnesium Overcast volume (a great in-depth history the B-36 for those interested), but most of the photos here are new and several are very interesting.

                                    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.

                                        From the coal camps of northeastern New Mexico comes a tale of families and friends struggling to rise above working and living conditions Theodore Roosevelt once described as worse than the serfdom of the Middle Ages. In this prequel to Coal Camp Days, the Chicorico miners battle to establish a labor union that promises to rectify dangerous and oppressive mining conditions.

                                        The story opens in 1931 when Julian and Dahlia Heard, an African American coal mining family, take in Swannie, a town drunk. Swannie finds sobriety, peace, and opportunity with the Heards until his friend Judo Perkovich dies in a tragic mining accident.

                                        Swannie stands up for JudoÂ's widow and, as a result, is fired from the mine. He finds work in Raton as a “dry agent,” waging battle against local moonshiners in Colfax County—and the local coal camps. Swannie disappears one day while demolishing a still near Chicorico. When a body is found in the nearby hills, SwannieÂ's friend Julian Heard is nearly killed by a camp guard who will stop at nothing to secure a confession for the crime.

                                        Garcia's novel focuses on life and death in the coal mines and camps of 1930s northern New Mexico.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Stokes Purple Martin Book.......2007-07-25

                                        This is an excellent book. It's very informative. This is my first year to put up a Martin House. I learned a lot from reading this book.

                                        An excellent book with suggestions on how to attract and keep martins in your backyard.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Landord-ism 101.......2007-02-26

                                        Twenty years ago the air above the narrow street outside our little row house in Costa Rica used to teem with swallows dashing about in the later afternoon coolness. I loved to watch their antics, finding in their effortless twists and turns a vicarious agility.

                                        When we moved house and the swallows were no longer part of our end-of-day joys, I knew that I must someday remedy this situation by having a Purple Martin house that would persuade the similar martins to take us into their company.

                                        It's March, 2007 in Indianapolis and a late snow lies on the ground. The Martins will be here within weeks if prognostications are accurate. From the comfort of my easy chair and a laptop bookmarked to several vendors of Purple Martin houses, I've read through the excellent Stokes Guide.

                                        These people have a rare gift for understanding the bird in question but also for speaking to the level of the interested, reasonably intelligent novice, a reader who knows very little of the topic but is capable of getting up to speed with just a little help.

                                        That assistance comes in the form of inviting prose and beautiful photos, all presented in an affordable format.

                                        I know a whole lot more about Purple Martins than I did just an hour ago and am just about to order that house and telescoping pole. Heck, this frozen ground can't last forever and those newbie Martins will be looking for a place to call home.

                                        We'll leave the light on.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Everything I wanted to know about attracting Purple Martins!.......2002-01-15

                                        My husband and I invested in a Purple Martin House, but didn't have a clue how to entice them to our back yard! I have several of the Stokes bird books and have always found them informative, easy to use, and excellent photography. I found all of this to be true in their Purple Martin Book.The book starts with Purple Martin basics, how to attract, and something I hadn't even thought of, when to expect their arrival. Each section of their breeding range has a different date, the Gulf Coast being approximately Feb. 1st, so I need to get ready in a hurry! Also covered, is their behavior, selecting housing, egg laying to leaving the nest. Dealing with predators and parasites. I don't think there was a "stone uncovered"!If you just enjoy learning about birds, this book is a joy. For me, I am hoping in a few short weeks, I'll be a Purple Martin landlord!

                                        5 out of 5 stars An essential book for Purple Martin landlords.......2000-08-12

                                        Educate yourself before you buy a Purple Martin house. Reading this book is a great beginning. Many houses sold are not suitable and you will end up with a sparrow house. The Stokes have thorough information and nice photographs in their book. I also recommend you join the PMCA (Purple Martin Conservation Association), Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Edinboro, PA, 16444 if you are serious about being a martin landlord.

                                              —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.

                                              5 out of 5 stars special relationship.......2007-04-02

                                              This finely produced University of Texas hardback is not your typical off-the-rack 'What's that bird?' book.

                                              What bird book do you know that begins with such picturesque scene-setting: 'It is 6:30 a.m. in late April: a strange assortment of liquid chirps, chortles, and muffled yodels threads the dimness about to be burnished. In a nearby yaupon, a cardinal hammers bellow chinks into the still-black earth. Overhead, Purple Martins lance dawn--expressing their invisible presence through these baubles of sound that hang, as do the minstrels, in the dew-rich air.'

                                              The two Texan authors, clearly in love with their land and the birds that fly above and well beyond it, maintain this lyrical tone throughout a volume that is more collector's item than reference book.

                                              93 pages of such reflection, printed on high-quality stock, cover 'Classification: Species and Names', 'Migration and Range', 'Colonial Regard: Early Interest in Martins', 'Martins and Bird Protection', 'Life of the Purple Martin', 'Purple Martin Promotion', and 'Landlords'.

                                              As Doughty and Fergus recognize early on, their topic is the 'special relationship' that binds these migratory and acrobatic birds and the humans who have adored them in this country since colonial times. It seems almost touching rather than tragic that in most of the North American continent Purple Martins are entirely dependent upon human beings for housing.

                                              I first became aware of the Purple Martin-loving community by barely noticing the Martin homes that the Amish around my town in Central Pennsylvania built beautifully simple Martin houses. My wife recently reminded me that Harrison Ford memorably ran into one of these in his car in the film Witness, then poignantly ended his refugee time among the Amish people by bending is newly acquired carpentery skills to build a (replacement?) Martin house.

                                              Now I own the scratches on my leg from having assembled - just now - my first Purple Martin house, soon to be erected in the front yard of my Indiana home.

                                              If THE PURPLE MARTIN is to be believed, Ford's generosity is arguably still to be remembered as Martin dads and moms teach their fledgelings to seek and to enjoy the company of men and women, some of whom welcome their Springtime return from winter in the tropics with almost religious zeal.

                                              Though the authors are both scientists, they have produced something near to a work of poetry, attractive for its high-quality construction and both endearing and informative for the loving labor that has taught us to love these acrobats of the sky, intrepid travelers, loyal friends, witnesses to creation as an act of good love.
