          Book Description

          This volume brings together some of the best writing published in the journal Management Learning since its re-launch under this title in 1994. The selection very much reflects the mission of the journal to act as a showcase for innovative, international and interdisciplinary work which covers a wide gamut of issues connected to management, organizations, learning and knowledge. The field of management learning, widely drawn in this way, brings together some of the key preoccupations within several areas of management, organization studies and social science more generally. Learning and knowledge have become central themes within thee areas for several reasons, both practical and theoretical. These include the way that organizational learning is seen as a key source of competitive advantage, and the wider analysis that individuals and organizations now inhabit a `knowledge economy'. Theoretically, recent years have seen emerging understandings of the social significance of `communities of practice', whilst learning in its many manifestations is increasingly seen as being imbricated in issues of power. This latter points to one of the particular areas which has been a focus for the journal, namely more critically orientated approaches to management learning.

          This collection provides readings grouped under six key headings which reflect where some of the most influential and provocative work in the field has been done over recent years, namely:

          - Organizational Learning and Learning Organizations

          - Individual Learning

          - Critical Approaches to Management Education and Learning

          - Pedagogical Practice

          - Globalization and Management Learning

          - Beyond Management Learning

          Along with an editorial introduction, this volume will provide a unique and invaluable resource for anyone studying or researching management learning and cognate areas, by bringing together some of the best peer-reviewed work in the field.

                Book Description

                This National Research Council report reviews the current status of the plant, which is now fast progressing from its wild state to commercial production of impressive magnitude. In particular, the intention is to highlight the uncertainties inherent in growing and selling a new farm product. This is not to dampen enthusiasm for a crop that has truly exciting promise, but to point out unresolved questions, so that farmers and investors can appreciate the economic risks and researchers can determine where their knowledge and talents can best be applied.

                It is now clear that this wild desert plant can be commercially cultivated. On sites where it is adapted, it will flower, and it will set its seed in plantations. But survival is not enough, the plants must produce yields that can be harvested and sold at a profit. This is where the uncertainty lies.

                Even in commerce, however, jojoba has made a promising start. Since 1982, mounting numbers of farmers in Arizona, California, Israel, and northern Mexico have obtained commercial harvests of seed. Moreover, a number of brokers and small companies have sold increasing amounts of jojoba oil harvested from both wild stands and plantations.

                      Book Description

                      Addresses reservoirs as unique ecological systems and presents research indicating that reservoirs fall into two or three highly concatenated, interactive ecological systems ranging from riverine to lacustrine or hybrid systems. Includes some controversial concepts about the limnology of reservoirs, which make for interesting reading.

                        Book Description

                        The nuances of the guard, the most important position in jiu-jitsu, are covered in this instructional guide that teaches practitioners how to put up an impenetrable defense to any opponent. Showing how a myriad of techniques originate in the guard, including sweeps, reversals, and submissions, these drills demonstrate how small changes in hip position and weight distribution can make the difference between success and failure in submission combat. Extraordinarily detailed with tips from leading black belts and down-to-earth advice on what to think about during a match, this guide is instructive reading for even advanced belts seeking to refine their game.

                        I found this book very useful and well laid out. I use this book whenever i get busy at work and can't attend bjj class as often as i would like. Very easy to understand with good pictures. My only negative comment is i wish the butterfly guard section was thicker.

                          One day, Mr. Bambert, a sweet but shy man, decides to send 11 stories out into the world. He attaches them to little hot-air balloons and lets them go on windy nights with a letter asking that whoever finds them sends them back—wherever the stories are returned from is where they will be set. The 11th story is blank—Bambert hopes it will write itself. Slowly the stories come back, with postmarks from all over the world, including one from the past.

                          Having fallen in love with grown-up but little Bambert, who sends the stories in his "Book of Wishes" out into the world tied to hot-air balloons, powered by tea lights, I wanted to let him know that all eleven, including the last story, the one that is going to write itself, have been found. Not to mention thoroughly enjoyed. This book is whimsical in the best way and the writing is pure and clean; deceptively simple yet complex. Translated from the German.

                            Book Description

                            Consumers' planned behavior is often very different to what is actually consumed. Consumer plans can relate to four behaviors: planned and done (deliberate strategies); and unplanned and not done (unused strategies). This book examines alternative theories and the empirical testing of trade-offs we make in life among work, travel, and personal maintenance actions and how our plans relate to what we actually do. Tourism Behaviour considers plans and behaviors for tourist spending, length of stay, attractions, destinations, accommodation and activities, and investigates how marketing strategies affect consumer plans. This book provides new theory, empirical studies, and practical insights of significant interest to travel and leisure researchers, destination marketing managers, and advanced students in tourism and consumer behavior.

                                  Description:
                                  A review of the literature reveals numerous research projects which have considered the factors important in the selection of hotel/motel accommodation. These projects adopted a closed question approach and almost uniformly reported that cleanliness was the most important attribute, with price being rated far less important (Hosp. Res. J. 19(4) (1996) 113).Taking a fresh approach, this research focuses specifically on gaining an understanding of the impact of price in accommodation selection, and to do this three focus groups were established comprising 42 participants who were asked to participate in both open and closed questions. Of particular interest was that although the findings from the closed questions were very similar to other research (Int. J. Contemp. Hosp. Manage. 6(14) (2002) 294), the focus group discussion identified quite a different perspective: that price should not be considered along with other attributes but needs special consideration. The research identified 'trigger points' which play an important part in the potential guest purchase decision process.

                                        This in-depth account of events in Nigeria since 1986 uses research and firsthand accounts to reveal the relationship between the military and the state bureaucracy and attempts to create economic development. Dibie argues that the weak relationship between the juntas that have ruled and the bureaucracy that has administered the state has led to failure. He concludes with possible solutions that will allow improvements in the policy making system of Nigeria.

                                          Book Description

                                          The use of sanctions is increasing in the post-Cold War world. Along with this increase, the international community must ask itself whether sanctions "work," in the sense that they incite citizens to change or overthrow an offending government, and whether sanctions are really less damaging than the alternative of war. Here for the first time, sanctions and humanitarian aid experts converge on these questions and consider the humanitarian impacts of sanctions along with their potential political benefits. The results show that often the most vulnerable members of targeted societies pay the price of sanctions, and that in addition, the international system is called upon to compensate the victims for the undeniable pain they have suffered. Well-chosen case studies of South Africa, Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, and Haiti illustrate how much pain the community of states is willing to inflict upon civilians in the quest for political gains. Together with an analytical framework and policy conclusions, this important book seeks to clarify the range of options and strategies to policymakers who impose sanctions and to humanitarian officials who operate in sanctioned environments.

                                          Geology is an extremely visual subject, and In Search of Ancient Oregon is a beautifully photographed, expertly written account of Oregon's fascinating geological story. Written by a passionate and professional geologist who has spent countless hours in the field exploring and photographing the state, In Search of Ancient Oregon is a book for all those interested in Oregon's landscapes and environments. It presents fine-art-quality color photographs of well-known features such as Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, Steens Mountain, the Columbia River Gorge, and Cannon Beach, and scenic, not so well known places such as Jordan Craters, Leslie Gulch, Abert Rim, Hells Canyon, Elkhorn Mountains, and Three Fingered Jack. Each of the more than 220 stunning photographs is accompanied by readable text, presenting the story of how Oregon's diverse landscapes evolved — and what we may expect in the future.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, beautiful book.......2007-10-03

                                          This book is beautifully illustrated and well written, making it easy to grasp the geological concepts. I feel like I found a treasure. I have lived in Oregon all of my life. Now I am looking at the view of the mountains and river valleys--as well as that pile of "pretty" rocks in my yard-- with new eyes...

                                          4 out of 5 stars great gift - surprisingly interesting!.......2007-01-12

                                          I gave this book to my husband, at his request. He's an engineer, so I figured that this would be a book that interested similar minds. :) It turns out to be really facinating - our extended family and friends have enjoyed sharing it, and the photos are beautiful and interesting for all ages. My only wish is that it still was easy to find in hardback, as I think that would be nice.

                                          The book is written "story-style," which makes the information a lot more palatable to those who don't have a geology background. The historical and environmental perspectives are woven together with very thoughtful writing. There is a lot of data in this book, but I don't think it reads like a textbook, which is nice.

                                          Overall, this is a great book. It makes a wonderful gift for just about anyone who appreciates the environment or anyone who has an interest in understanding the land formations they see or live on.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Remarkable book for specific examples and photos .......2006-05-23

                                          In describing the events and processes in Oregon's geological history the author repeatedly references and explains familiar landscape features. (E.g. Alameda Ridge is a gravel bar left by the Lake Missoula Floods entering the Portland Basin. Mt. Scott, Rocky Butte and Powell Butte are all remnants of Pleistocene volcanoes. ) This makes the geology lesson both clearer and more interesting. Likewise, descriptions of flora and fauna further illustrate extant conditions during our state's evolution. With its many excellent photos, the book could easily succeed as a 'coffee table book.'

                                          5 out of 5 stars Fascinating and beautiful book.......2006-03-23

                                          If you have an interest in the geology and natural history of the Oregon region, this is a fascinating and well written book. It's easy to follow and has beautiful photographic illustrations of the material.

                                          My wife and I have always been facinated by geology and archeology but find so many books on the subjects difficult,
                                          and at times boring, to read. We live on a fixed, retirement income so must keep our "luxury" expenditures to a minimum.
                                          I bought In Search of Ancient Oregon for my wife on Mother's Day,
                                          and we both found it an absolute gem of easy to read, interesting information with wonderful photographs. The book is everything it was advertised to be, and more. WELL worth the money it cost.
