                              Book Description

                              Craig Julian argues that the International Joint Venture (IJV) phenomena represents two opposing trends. On the one hand, an analysis of the number of new IJVs, reveals that they are becoming increasingly popular as a mode of overseas market entry and expansion. On the other hand, however, the significance of a robust growth trend is overshadowed by the incidence of high failure. The book examines the factors influencing the marketing performance of IJVs in Southeast Asia, including market characteristics, conflict, commitment, product characteristics, marketing orientation, control, trust, partner's contributions and partner's needs. A unique composite measure incorporating financial, strategic and perceptual tools is used to determine the marketing performance of IJVs, and directions for future research are provided. Managers are then guided in better managing and improving the success of their IJVs, and the importance of top management team composition to IJV performance is also highlighted. International Joint Venture Performance in South East Asia provides the most comprehensive list of references on joint venture academic research to date with 60 pages of references on joint venture research. As such, this book will be invaluable to both academics and practitioners with an interest in international business research and the management of IJVs.

                                            Book Description

                                            In November 1933, the Socialist Party of Bridgeport, Connecticut won a stunning victory in the municipal election, putting slate roofer Jasper McLevy in the mayor's seat and nearly winning control of the city council. In probing the factors that led to this electoral victory and its continuation, Bucki uncovers a legacy of activist unionism, business manipulation of local politics and taxes, and a growing debate over the public good that revealed how working people viewed their government and their own roles as citizens. As a backdrop to the evolving national developments of the New Deal, this study stands at the intersection of political, labor, and ethnic history and provides a new perspective on how working people affected urban politics in the inter-war era.

                                            Bridgeport's Socialist New Deal, 1915-36 explores how labor gained first a foothold and then a stronghold in local politics as broad debates over taxes, budgets, city services, and the definition of public good pitted previously unengaged working-class citizens against local business leaders and traditional party elites. In the heat of the Great Depression, the skilled AFL craftsmen who made up the bulk of the city's Socialist Party stepped in to fill a political void created by the crumbling of mainstream parties, the disintegration of traditional modes of ethnic politics, and the fiscal crisis of the city. Representing the concerns of ethnic working-class communities only weakly allied to the mainstream American parties, the Bridgeport Socialists rode into office on a wave of popular antibusiness anger and New Deal enthusiasm.

                                            Once in office, McLevy and his party were hamstrung by legislative measures that gave substantial control of finances to local business leaders. Bucki details the compromise politics of Bridgeport and shows how the local party, after splitting from the Socialist Party of America in 1936, became more narrowly focused and reformist, though still serving as the voice of the working class.

                                            The Bridgeport Socialist Party's remarkable move from outsider critic to occupant of city hall illustrates the volatility of politics in the early depression years. It also reveals the curbing influence of conservative business and political interests, not only on the Bridgeport Socialists, but also on the more radical prongs of the New Deal.

                                            As Terry moves on into the next two years of Junior High School, she wonders how to uncover her true nature rather than make sacrifices for the love of her mother.

                                            Maneuvering through obstacles of family chaos, the sudden unexpected death of her closest brother brought forth a host of new challenges.

                                            She took refuge in whispered memories of conversations she had with God and used these inspirations in overcoming the shadows of darkness.

                                            She cautiously prepares herself for the unexpected and moves forward with faith always guiding her path, as she moves on to High School and a different life.

                                            Miracle T. Kelly's continued journal discovers a new life-altering secret: her sexual orientation. She can tell no one as she enters a particularly adverse two years of her life. It's now the 1970's, she enters Jr. High and her teenage years. Trajedy takes the brother she's closest to, while conflicts with her mother and a younger sister increase. She's in love with a beautiful, married, unapproachable coach. She contemplates suicide against her religion. This book has made me care about this child's troubles and her responses. Some questions from the first book are not yet answered, some are, but now there are more.

                                            At last in paperback: The story of the savage war that drained Napoleon's armies and set the stage for his ultimate defeat at Waterloo. "A splendid book."- New York Times Book Review.

                                            The Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal was the most bitterly fought contest of nineteenth-century Europe. From 1808 to 1814, Spanish regulars and guerrillas, along with British forces led by Sir John Moore and the Duke of Wellington, battled Napoleon's troops across the length and breadth of the Iberian Peninsula. Napoleon considered the war so insignificant that he rarely bothered to bring to it his military genius, relying instead on his marshals and simultaneously launching his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. Yet the Peninsular War was to end with total defeat for the French, and in 1813 Wellington's army crossed the Pyrenees into mainland France. What Napoleon had called "the Spanish ulcer" ultimately helped bring down the French empire. Michael Howard of Oxford University hailed this book as "a major achievement...the first brief and balanced account of the war to have appeared within our generation." Illustrated with over a hundred maps and fifty contemporary drawings and paintings, this is a richly detailed history of a crucial period in history that resonates powerfully to this day-and figures prominently in Bernard Cornwell's internationally acclaimed novels of the Napoleonic era.

                                            3 out of 5 stars Could have been better.......2006-08-22

                                            This is the first history of the Peninsular War that I've read, so on the one hand I can't compare it to other works on the subject as some other reviewers have done. On the other hand, I perhaps view the book differently since I am outside of that context.

                                            I found the book to be a useful precis of the military campaigns. I was disappointed that more attention wasn't paid to political and economic forces and repercussions, or to the geurillas. I found the book to be useful for listing what happened, but very light on explaining why. I understand that is, perhaps, too much to ask for in 1 volume. I was also disappointed at what I found to be a dry presentation of the sequence of events.

                                            I found the writing style to be easy to read once I got past some annoying eccentricities. Gates' use of semicolons; seemed odd, at least to an American reader. It seems that 'Army of XYZ' need not be put in single quotation marks (and why single?) every time it is mentioned (I know, picky-picky). In the early chapters, Gates' switches between references to individuals by their names (e.g., "Marshal Soult") and their Imperial titles (e.g., "Duke of Dalmatia"), which was at first confusing to someone who was not already familiar with the personages so referenced.

                                            The number of maps and figures is grossly inflated and they do not support the text well, partly because of their poor quality. I noticed that the same map of Badajoz is reproduced at least 4 times. As another reviewer notes, the randomly rotating compass rose is annoying. A set of two maps which purports to show troop positions on the first day of a battle (in the first map) and on the second day (in the second map) are, in fact, identical except for a small typo. Elsewhere, one encounters a map of a battle that is mentioned in the text but not described. Campaign-level maps do not often show terrain features or road networks; battle-level maps never attempt to illustrate troop movements or stages of the fighting. Several of the figures are reproductions of paintings of events, and are of such poor quality as to be worthless (oddly, except for two paintings by Goya, no attribution to artists is made--perhaps Gates was the painter). The publisher mentions that more than 100 maps and figures occur in the volume--which means that the book could have been at least 75 pages shorter (or could have included 75 more pages of analysis and interpretation).

                                            In summary, I found this an educational outline of the military campaigns of the Peninsular War. The work is damaged by very poor production values. I found it a useful read, but not a very entertaining one--and sometimes a frustrating one.

                                            4 out of 5 stars A one volume history of the Peninsular War.......2005-01-16

                                            David Gates' "The Spanish Ulcer" provides one of the very few single volume histories of the Peninsular War that attempts to address the entire conflict and not focus on, for example, the exploits of the Anglo-Portuguese Army. Gates addresses the actions of the Imperial French, the struggles of the Spanish politicians, armies and guerillas, and the fiasco of Portugal prior to the British intervention. That Gates manages to do in one volume what Charles Oman required seven volumes to cover is, however, both a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, students of the era now have a single reasonably comprehensive summary of the Peninsular War phase. On the other hand, of necessity, much of the detail of a very complex conflict is compressed, while the narrative tends to jump from place to place. Some advance knowledge of the conflict is almost required to make sense of the many moving parts. Unfortunately, the maps provided in the text are not well designed and more confusing than helpful. Readers are advised to track the action on their own large map of the Iberian Peninsula. This book is strongly recommended to those with an interest in the Peninsular War but not the time or energy to work through the longer studies.

                                            4 out of 5 stars Somewhat Revisionist Account.......2004-10-09

                                            This is a well constructed book on the Peninsular War. Indeed, to find any single, readable volume on this subject that attempts to cover all its aspects is great. Many books tend to concentrate on just Wellington's campaigns and the activities of the Anglo-Portugease army. Mr. Gates has noted that tendency and has tried to correct it. In doing so however, he has taken a rather highly critical approach. Whereas many earlier books were lavish in their praise of Wellington, Gates goes the opposite way. While it is good to provide a fair perspective, and this subject has certainly required that in English, Gates leans too much toward the revisionist set with his heavy criticism of Wellington. At times it seems that he almost wants to go out of his way to find fault with the Iron Duke.

                                            That aside, this is still a worthwhile work if the reader takes understands the bias here. Gates descriptions of what the Spanish armies were doing fills in a lot of gaps on the subject. While often seen as imcompetent in most earlier English sources, the Spanish none the less kept the French off balance. Time and again the French would defeat them, and time and again, the Spanish would return to the fight with new armies. This was a major factor in preventing the French from concentrating against Wellington.

                                            The battles themselves are crisply done, but often a little too heavy on single vollies taking down hundreds if not thousands of men during some of the actions. I think Gates gets a little carried away with himself there at times. Single vollies rarely accomplished this, but a series of them could over time. There are workable maps provided for most of the actions and campaigns, and while some of these are wanting in professional look, they do at least allow one to follow the action somewhat.

                                            The main stength of this work is its wider perspective. We get to see what the numerous Spainish arimes were doing, as well as get a better understanding of what the French were up against in Iberia. I agree with Gates when he states that under the harsh circumstances of the French losing roughly a 100 men a day during the occupation, it is remarkable that they lasted as long as they did. This the book helps us to understand.

                                            Overall this is a workmanlike study, easy to read, and with nice details of aspects not often covered in the numerous works on this subject. If one allows for the often blatant anti-Wellington revisionist slant, then there is much good that can come out of reading this work and comparing it to Weller's and Glover's books.

                                            4 out of 5 stars Very Good.......2004-09-29

                                            Text, narrative, facts and readability all rate very high, 5 star level actually, but, and I just refuse to understand how, after pouring himself into researching and writing an excellent piece on a topic that is not, lets say, especially overwhelmed with offerings, he can allow the third grade drawings he includes to be foisted off as maps.

                                            5 out of 5 stars A stunning work of Military History.......2004-06-04

                                            Most military history books quickly become embedded in politics and economics, and in the process fail to complete their analysis of the military aspects of the history.

                                            In this book Gates has maintained his focus all the way through the book, on the Military campaigns. Any politics or economics are introduced only to explain logistical difficulties or broad trends in strategic direction.

                                            In most English focused histories Wellington is portrayed as some kind of superman who went out to Spain and roundly defeated one French army after another. Gates shows how far this is from the actual truth. He highlights the crucial role played by Peninsular forces, who fielded one army after another to keep the French busy. He demonstrates how the partisan guerilla war prevented the French from concentrating against Wellington to drive him out.

                                            At the same time he demonstrates just why Wellington was the greatest soldier of his age. How he used intelligence and patience as his weapons. How he always selected his preferred battleground to gain maximum advantage against the French, who were after all, masterful foes. Wellington was the master of Soult, Ney and Massena, but not by much. He admitted that he would have lost if Napolean had been there himself.

                                            Gates lavishes praise on the abilities of the French to survive in the harsh environment of the Peninsula, and at the same time extolls the mastery of the British use of naval support to outflank their gallic rivals.

                                            From an Irish perspective it is interesting to note the large number of Irish named Generals fighting for the Spanish, the English and the French. Blake, Clarke, O'Donnell, Lacy and O'Neill to name only a few.

                                            If I had any criticism of this book it would be on the way maps are presented. You always have to check which way is north. I prefer when North is the top of the page! Otherwise the large numbers of maps of all scales are a very useful tool in interpretation of the movements in the battles.

                                            Gates is also helpful in giving the reader a brief introduction to the tactics of Napoleonic armies, explaining the purpose of line, column and square, the flanking manoevre, use of the reverse slope, the use of Cavalry V Infantry etc. A really wonderful book!

                                                  Originally published in the Italian, Constraints and Possibilities has caused a considerable stir in Europe and has already been translated into several languages. In what noted cyberneticist Heinz von Foerster called a stroke of genius, Ceruti applies a new perspective to our understanding of evolution, and startlingly outlines how the evolution of our knowledge and our knowledge of evolution have in fact been mirror images of each other. Expanding on the intellectual tradition of Gregory Bateson, Ervin Laszlo, Stephen Jay Gould, and Niles Eldredge, Ceruti's work is a testament to the paradigm shift occurring in science today. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in the evolution of our conception of knowledge.
