Telecommunications Management: Industry Structures and Planning Strategies (Lea's Communication Series)

Book Description

With today's communications industry experiencing major changes on an almost daily basis, media managers must have a clear understanding of the different delivery platforms, as well as a grasp of critical management, planning, and economic factors in order to stay current and move their organizations forward.

Telecommunications Management helps current and future media professionals understand the relationship and convergence patterns between the broadcast, cable television, telephony, and Internet communication industries. Author Richard A. Gershon examines telecommunications industry structures and the management practices and business strategies affecting the delivery of information and entertainment services to consumers. He brings in specialists to present the finer points of management and planning responsibilities. Case studies from the International Radio and Television Society (IRTS) competition supplement the main text and offer an invaluable perspective on management issues.

Developed for students in telecommunications management, electronic media management, and telecommunication economics, this volume also serves as a practical reference for the professional manager.

I have read and re-read this fantastic book by Jim Blanco. What an insight into the world of scams and schemes. Things I now know to watch for.

Book Description

Equality in law between men and women in the European Community is an integral part of the EC's social policy and crucial to its economic and social cohesion. This 15-Volume Encyclopedia analyzes the legal framework for equal opportunities which now exists in the Community due to the adoption of EC Directives on equal treatment, equal pay and social security, and to the work of the European Court of Justice in this area. It looks at how the EC Directives have been implemented and interpreted in each Member State, and at the other legislative and constitutional provisions affecting the principle of equality. All the principal legal provisions are reproduced or translated. Extracts from or digests of national case law are also included. Each volume is structured so that Member States's provisions on equality can be directly compared. The editors of this Encyclopedia are Michel Verwilghen, Professeur ordinaire a la Faculte de Droit, Universite catholique de Louvain, and Ferdinand von Prondzynski, Professor of Law and Dean of the Law School, University of Hull. A French version of this text has been published through Les Editions juridiques Bruylant, Brussels.

Book Description

Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia (and especially in science) have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this outstanding book, which presents reports and discussions from a two-day conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants law professors and social scientists present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Among the many provocative issues raised and explored are the following:

positive action in theory and practice;
the progress of the EU Commission s strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities;
the motives for promoting women in Academia;
the importance not only of setting targets but of funding to achieve them;
the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career;
the importance of creating a situation in Academia where woman excellence shows; and
the development of marketable research disciplines embodied in private research institutes.

Book Description

Plant proteins are regarded as versatile, functional ingredients or as active biological compounds, and as essential nutrients in food. Besides food uses, plant proteins are also considered as "green" chemical molecules useful in manufacturing non-food industrial products. This new utilization of plant proteins presents a great challenge for agriculture and industry and will also be beneficial for the environment. In this book, numerous scientists working on all aspects of proteins from the major European crops report on the role played by plant proteins in food systems and their effects on human health. In addition, the most recent data on protein-based plastic materials and other non-food products are presented.

Book Description

This book views the Earth's climate as a global system, by describing the evolution of climate throughout the past 600 million years, from the Cambrian to the Quaternary. Palaeoclimates are examined in terms of Cold and Warm modes--phases during which the Earth's climates were either relatively cool with ice forming in high latitudes or when high levels of CO2 led to "greenhouse" warmings and temperate floras and faunas inhabited polar regions. Evidence for climate changes, such as biological indicators, geochemical parameters, and the presence of ice, are compared between these modes. These studies have highlighted the crucial role of tectonics and continental distribution in governing ocean circulation, the distribution of sea ice, sea level changes and global temperature distribution. Orbital forcing and the carbon cycle are also shown as important influences, particularly on short term climatic variations.

Book Description

Under certain conditions, liquids that usually do not conduct electrical currents become conductors, a phenomenon that is of interest to scientists in several different fields. In Liquid State Electronics of Insulating Liquids, one of the world's leading experts in dielectric liquids discusses the theoretical basis and the experiments on electronic conduction in nonpolar liquids. It provides a sound description of the concepts involved in electronic and ionic charge transport in these liquids. This text also includes experimental techniques that graduate students, university researchers, and laboratory scientists will all find useful. Data tables provide first-order information on the magnitude of relevant quantities.

Book Description

Miss Julia—that Southern spitfire of a certain age who is never less than charming, even when she's at her most opinionated—has been praised by Fannie Flagg as “one of the most delightful characters to come along in years.” In Miss Julia Hits the Road, she is becoming increasingly concerned about her gentleman friend, Sam, who has suddenly started wearing cowboy boots, sending her flowers, and writing bad poetry. And when he shows up on a Harley-Davidson Road King and asks her to hop on, she's convinced he's lost his mind. Meanwhile, her invaluable housekeeper, Lillian, has been evicted from her home by her greedy landlord. Deciding that Lillian's need is greater than her own fear (not to mention loss of dignity), Miss Julia takes Sam up on his offer and sets off on a motorcycle Poker Run to raise some fast cash. She's ready to risk life and limb in Sam's sidecar to save Lillian's home from the bulldozer, but will Miss Julia's scheme work?

Customer Reviews:

Hackneyed tripe.......2007-05-15

Although Miss Julia is not bigoted, her creator is. I hated the way the maid's speech was rendered in Step-n-fetch-it dialog while Miss Julia, who surely has a heavy Southern accent, is depicted as speaking standard English. The character of the maid is also trite. She could have stepped straight out of Gone With the Wind.

I may have disliked the book because I dislike Miss Julia, who is prissy, prickly and acts with the unthinking arrogance of someone born at the top of a very small social heap.

Miss Julia is a HOOT!.......2007-01-11

Maybe I'm biased because I've lived my life in the South, but Miss Julia is a great character. Ann Ross's writing is fresh and funny and moves quickly. Ms. Ross had me laughing out loud.

MY second favorite Miss Julia!.......2006-11-25

Besides the original Miss Julia book, this is the best! It has the humour and the Southern charm that the original captured. Some of the other Miss Julia books are a litte strident and formulaic, but, in this one, Miss Julia shows her Southern etiquette and her spunk to the reader's delight. The description of the race is very funny and her thoughts are clearly those of a woman trying to move with the times in spite of her better judgment. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Okay filler.......2006-07-29

The phallic jokes were kind of jr high to me. However, I liked that Miss Julia was encouraging the pastor's wife to defy her husband, and have some fun.

Miss Julia rides a Harley.......2005-08-16

Miss Julia is devoted to her housekeeper Lillian, so when Lillian's landlord threatens to evict her, along with the rest of the neighborhood, the prim Presbyterian jumps into action. She and her friends begin a campaign to raise enough money to purchase the threatened neighborhood and to refurbish it for its tenants. The major fundraising event is to be a Poker Run for motorcycles. Miss Julia refuses to participate until she is offered a large sum of money to ride with her friend Sam. Throwing caution to the wind, Miss Julia persuades her prominent friends to participate in the motorcyle ride, and she herself climbs into Sam's sidecar. Thus begins one of the most hilarious and star-crossed motorcyle events ever. Despite the disapproval of her pastor and the sabatoge tactics of an enemy, she dons a pair of black leather pants and rides into the sunset. What will author Ann B. Ross think of next? I can't wait to find out!
