    Book Description

    Sustained innovation requires a seamless, structured management approach that begins with board and CEO-level issues and connects all the way through technology investment and implementation. Using case studies from large companies, social enterprises, and the government sector, this book shows how enterprises can innovate to survive and even thrive in the knowledge-based global community. It explores knowledge-based, technology-enabled innovation that is driven from the convergence of business and technology. In search of innovation, it takes readers from the doorsteps of American corporate giants to the home of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, from R&D centers in Israel to India's new economy, from the enterprising government of Algeria to the inspiring operations of Grameen in remote villages of Bangladesh. It is a story of global innovation today, but furthermore, it is the story of human potential.

              4 out of 5 stars Vital historical perspective to modern day investors........2005-05-06

              This classic book is fascinating considering that it provides investor guidelines, both moral and technical, eight years before the stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent depression. There are many rather prophetic statements such as "You and I have set up a code of laws under which property and capital receive greater respect than health and happiness. But unless this is changed there will be a reaction that will wipe out the investments of many of us." Alas! Would make a great addition to the library of any historian.

                                    The question why certain kinds of legal institutions are found in certain kinds of societies has been little explored by anthropologists. In this book Katherine Newman examines a sample of some sixty different preindustrial societies, distributed across the world, in an attempt to explain why their legal systems vary. The key to understanding this variation, Professor Newman argues, is to be found in economic organization. Adopting a Marxian, or materialist, approach, she draws on original ethnographic sources for each culture in order to investigate how legal processes and institutions regulate basic aspects of economic life in societies with differing types of economic organization. She also examines the commonalities of law within various preindustrial ‘modes of production’ and shows that the patterning of legal institutions arises from underlying tensions in production systems. In offering an explanation of the distribution of legal institutions across preindustrial societies, as well as for the sources of conflict in such societies, the book makes an important contribution to the comparative study of legal systems. It will interest anthropologists and other readers concerned with the operation and development of legal institutions.

                                      Lessons learned in Latin America is about the use and dissemination of cover crops in different agroecosystems need to be made more widely available not only to Spanish speaking, but also Anglophone regions. This publication aims to inform a wide range of actors involved in rural development projects, as well as those in applied research, of the potential of cover crops as components of low external input agricultural (LEIA) systems. Cover crops are, or have the potential to be, an important component in complex, diverse, risk-prone and resource poor farming situations.The publication includes selected case studies from four different countries within Latin America. These address key issues regarding crop cover integration in LEIA systems. A wide range of agroecosystems are covered by the case studies, so that the information can be adapted for use in other regions.

                                              After every major earthquake, the Earth rings like a bell for several days. These free oscillations of the Earth and the related propagating body and surface waves are routinely detected at broad-band seismographic stations around the world. In this book, F. A. Dahlen and Jeroen Tromp present an advanced theoretical treatment of global seismology, describing the normal-mode, body-wave, and surface-wave methods employed in the determination of the Earth's three-dimensional internal structure and the source mechanisms of earthquakes. The authors provide a survey of both the history of global seismological research and the major theoretical and observational advances made in the past decade.

                                              The book is divided into three parts. In the first, "Foundations," Dahlen and Tromp give an extensive introduction to continuum mechanics and discuss the representation of seismic sources and the free oscillations of a completely general Earth model. The resulting theory should provide the basis for future scientific discussions of the elastic-gravitational deformation of the Earth. The second part, "The Spherical Earth," is devoted to the free oscillations of a spherically symmetric Earth. In the third part, "The Aspherical Earth," the authors discuss methods of dealing with the Earth's three-dimensional heterogeneity. The book is concerned primarily with the forward problem of global seismology--detailing how synthetic seismograms and spectra may be calculated and interpreted.

                                              As a long-needed unification of theories in global seismology, the book will be important to graduate students and to professional seismologists, geodynamicists, and geomagnetists, as well as to astronomers who study the free oscillations of the Sun and other stars.

                                              4 out of 5 stars Not an easy book but a very good one.......2006-03-13

                                              This is a good book. It definitely fills a gap in the literature in the sense that it is unique in combining the rigorous continuum mechanics with the free modes of the earth (or terrestrial planets in general). It also connects the low-frequency oscillations (normal modes) to the seismological observables. The only problem is that you need to have studied a considerable amount of classical continuum mechanics and elastic wave propagation to reach the stage and this can not be expected from everyone. For a student who just studied intro to continuum mechanics and knows what the spherical harmonics are, this book can serve to relate all this stuff to the real world. Have a nice time reading the book.

                                              2 out of 5 stars A thick tome that is a little hard to swallow for begining students.......2005-08-27

                                              In my on going quest to collect any and all books on seismology (earthquake and theoretical) I found a good deal (price) on this book and went ahead and bought it. I did not need it for any classes etcetera, but I wanted it as a reference maybe. I ordered it sight-unseen. When I got it I was somewhat dismayed. It is very rigorous in its mathematical treatment of the subject (newbies be forewarned!) and the equations are somewhat cluttered. I don't know why, but I have noticed a trend in that the more advanced textbooks get, the smaller they get! The pages in this book are 5.5" X 9.0" If the pages were bigger, it wouldn't have to be as thick and might make for a cleaner layout. It is a very advanced theoretical book and so I haven't used it much. My only other gripe is somwhat selfish. I learned from other seismology books first and most of the equations in this one are hard to follow because of the use of different symols for variables and indicies. I wish there was some continuity in the seismological community on this matter. The authors are no doubt "giants" in their field, therefore I am sure this book is a valuable asset to researchers. If you are new to the subject and/or curious and this book is NOT required in a class, I would look elsewhere.

                                              5 out of 5 stars Geology ROCKS!!! =) =) =).......2004-08-10

                                              I am an important professor at some university, and I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to think geology was a waste of time, but now I don't think so anymore. Because I read this book. This REALLY GOOD book. It's about the free oscillations of the Earth. If you don't know what that means, the earth freely oscillates, and that's what this book is about. These (free) oscillations are related to earthquakes. Well, I don't want to say too much because I'm afraid of spoiling the end of this classic book on free oscillations. But it's about earthquakes and it is SO good. So don't delay, do what I say, and buy this book right away today, okay?

                                              Book Description

                                              This one-semester survey of principles of physics for technical students emphasizes practical applications that represent a broad coverage of physics as it relates to the various technical areas. The concepts presented allow students to relate the principles of physics to practical job-related applications. The questions and problems at the end of each chapter have been carefully chosen for their realistic application to industry and for their instructional value. The only mathematics prerequisite is the algebra necessary to understand simple formulas. For teaching convenience, the more difficult sections of the text, which are optional, are identified by asterisks in the table of contents.

                                              This book is a great resource for beginning students to understand how math is applied. We are using certain components of this book to use in the Laser and Semiconductor classes that we teach. Student gain a large part of what they should learn by the examples. The suggestion on what to do to implove this book would be to increase the examples on how the math and physics are used.

                                                                This particular collection/translation is far and away the closest any english-speaking reader can come to experiencing Chekov in his native tongue. In his introduction, translator David Magarshack writes "reading [these stories] one gets the impression of holding life itself, like a fluttering bird, in one's cupped hands." Magarshack's sensitivity as a translator is unparalled, and this small, immaculately chosen collection of Chekov's work will leave readers marvelling at his ability to bring a character to life in two paragraghs, bring a sunset to life in two sentences, and capture the timeless experiences of life, love and loss in only a few pages. This particular Penguin Classic is now out of print, but definitely worth searching out. This one sets the standard-- no
                                                                Chekov collection is complete without it.

                                                                The Lady with the Little Dog is about a chance love affair that takes possession of two people and changes them against their will, and which closes with them far apart and rarely able to meet.One intimate meeting, changed their entire outlook towards life.In The Lady with the Lap Dog, Gurov and Anna are both married.Both have gone on a stolen holiday to Yalta, a resort notorious for its casual love affairs. One interesting thing is that Chehkov never described the seduction unlike the later novelists. The memories from their affair haunts them and they want to be together forever. Every time they meet, they have to over come the fact that they both are married.The real subject of the story is this serious conflict in the minds of the lovers. Every two or three months after this they will meet and wrestle with their dilemma. Chekhov doesnt want to end the novel in a typical manner. He wants the rest to be interpreted by the reader's imagination. Thats the best part of the novel in point of view. Many of us have gone through this situation ourselves. We may have betrayed our loved ones once in a while.A night with a stranger might haunt us throughout the rest of our life. Every one has certain priorities in their life. The novel explains few critical decisions a person takes while tacking one of the most sensitive issues of their lives.
