Bioregionalism And Civil Society: Democratic Challenges to Corporate Globalism (Sustainability and the Environment Series)

Book Description

Bioregionalism and Civil Society addresses the urgent need for sustainability in industrialized societies. The book explores the bioregional movement in the US, Canada, and Mexico, examining its vision, values, strategies, and tools for building sustainable societies. Bioregionalism is a philosophy with values and practices that attempt to meld issues of social and econmic justice and sustainability with cultural, ecolgoical, and spiritual concerns. Further, bioregional efforts of democratic social and cultural change take place primarily in the sphere of civil society.

Practically, Carr agrues for bioregionalism as a place-specific, community movement that can stand in diverse opposition to the homogenizing trends of corporate globalization. Theoretically, the author seeks lessons for civil society-based social theory and strategy. Conventional civil society theory from Europe proposes a dual strategy of developing strong horizontal communicative action among civic associations and networks as the basis for strategic vertical campaigns to democratize both state and market sectors. However, this theory offers no ecological or cultural critique of consumerism. By contrast, Carr integrates both social and natural ecologies in a civil society theory that incorporates lessons about consumption and cultural transformation from bioregional practice.

Carr's argument that bioregional values and community-building tools support a diverse, democratic, socially just civil society that respects and cares for the natural world makes a significant contribution to the field of green political science, social change theory, and environmental thought.

Book Description

This leading text for courses in Criminology is known for its lucid style, student-oriented approach, and interdisciplinary global perspective. The text comes in two versions--with or without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes coverage of criminal justice, Criminology and the Criminal Justice System is the ideal text. For schools that offer a separate introductory course in criminal justice, Criminology is the appropriate text. Both versions of the fifth edition are accompanied by a free student CD-ROM as well as a robust Online Learning Center featuring chapter quizzes with feedback, vocabulary flashcards, interactive exercises, and more.

Book Description

This is a uniquely sociologically oriented Criminology text designed to help students cultivate their own "sociological imagination" about crime and criminal justice. The book takes a critical approach and places questions of social inequality and power at the center of criminological inquiry. It views class, race/ethnicity, and gender as pivotal organizing principles of social life--prisms through which we come to know ourselves and our social world and as central mechanisms by which social relationships are patterned. The text offers instructors and students an approach that is interesting and innovative, yet organized to fit into conventional course formats. The authors write in an engaging manner that is accessible to students, and they include many real-life anecdotes and quotes from offenders, victims, and criminal justice personnel to help illustrate concepts and make the material more interesting to read.

With the text students have access to PowerWeb, a password-protected course-specific Web site that offers current articles about criminology (refereed and selected by criminology instructors), research tools, refereed Web links, student study tools, and interactive exercises.

GREAT TO BUY FROM! SHIPPED QUICK AND THE BOOK IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!

From the student perspective.......2001-04-24

I found this book, while currently enrolled at a local 2 year college in Criminal Justice,to be very helpful in explaining how the Criminal Justice system works, from early initiaion of law enforcement practices to modern day. There are many fascinating aspects to explore, and learn from within this text. It also helps to have an instructor that is knowledgeable with the text, so the teaching can be understood.

How educational it is.......2000-05-28

This book is very educational for those who are majoring or minoring in Criminal Justice. The book itself explains how the Criminal Justice works. In addition to this, the book helps you understand the laws. It also allows you to understand each and every law that the government of the United States has set. The author of this book seems to be very detailed and specific about every law and details of these. Another thing that makes this such a great book to any college student who has great interest in learning Criminal Justice is that it has great illustrations to explain the rights and wrongs of the law.

Complex But Worth It.......2000-07-18

Not particularly knowledgable about economics, this book proved to be less than an easy read for me. The subject matter, however, was fascinating. It is thanks to the simple style in which Mr. Temin tries to write, that I was able to finish the book and enjoy it for all that it taught me. While he doesn' talk about simple issues, he does talk about important ones.

Book Description

Japan's deepest recession since the Second World War has come to an end in 2000. Yet, the task of reforming Japan is far from completed. The current political drift has brought deregulation to a premature end putting the still vulnerable recovery at risk. What structural changes have already taken place? What important reforms have to be undertaken in the future?
The contributions of the book shed light on the transitional path of the Japanese system amid rapid globalization. Can Japan Globalize? covers a broad range of areas from macro- and micro-economic structures to political and social relations.

Book Description

An important contribution to marketing literature, this volume offers a comprehensive guide to market-based pricing strategies. The authors present pricing as a relatively simple, but extremely powerful marketing tool--a creative variable which managers can manipulate to accomplish a wide variety of ends. Arguing that companies must move away from the traditional, short-term, reactive methods relied upon to set and manage prices, the authors call for a systematic, strategic and market-based approach to the pricing problem. Their central unifying theme is that pricing begins and ends with the customer and that every pricing action should be part of a larger pricing program build around the realities of customer needs and competitor pressures. Written with a minimum of jargon and amply illustrated with explanatory tables and figures, this is an excellent introduction to pricing for both seasoned and aspiring marketing and product managers. Morris and Morris begin by examining the overall concept of price as a statement of value. Subsequent chapters offer in-depth guidance on the development of market-based pricing, addressing such critical issues as pricing strategy over the product life cycle, linking pricing and marketing strategy, understanding and using elasticity, the psychology of pricing, and negotiating prices with customers. Particular attention is paid to the question of price differentials--charging different prices to different classes of consumers--and the legal and ethical ramifications of adopting strategies based on price differentials. The authors also explore cost-based pricing, industry and competitor analysis, pricing across the product line, and computers as an aid in pricing. Throughout, references to real-world cases and problems helps the manager to relate the concepts of market-based pricing to the pricing decisions and considerations actually confronted on the job.

This is the rare hardcover version of the classic book written and self published by Joe Karbo in 1973, that revealed the secrets that gained him in excess of $10 million dollars.

Joe sold his book only through direct response advertising - a book that sold over 3 million copies without ever being available in a bookstore! This book is Joe's philosophy on life, and how to live it richly, successfully, joyously, and lazily. It is also a wonderful step by step marketing guide that will work for any business - so clearly written it has been used as a marketing text by companies, colleges and universities worldwide. This classic belongs in everyone's success library!

Lazy Man's Way to Riches.......2007-01-15

There is supposed to be a companion Web site that is not available and no contact with the author seems to be available. Very frustrating. There is a companion guide that is out of print and is offered used on different Web sites for over $1,000. It's ridiculous.

I have had a copy of this book since 1995 and it has had an amazing effect in my life. Whenever I've had problems I've cracked this book open and gotten things moving ahead again! I've given many copies away to friends and family...no wonder over 3 million copies have sold! I'm a big fan of the lazy way!

My favoriate book to give away.......2003-04-03

Do Yourself A Favor! Get the Revised Lazy Man's Way.......2003-01-29

This book packs a double good punch!

The first is that it is the best personal growth-self help book I've ever read. Seriously. I am a self-help junkie with a large success library of self-help books and the Lazy Man Way to Riches Revised is my favorite by far!

Karbo and Nixon revised the original 70's "Lazy Man", which was great, into this true classic that works for today's world.It still has everyword of the original in it, but it also now has more up to date ideas and suggestions. Their style is simple and direct, easy to read and understand and it has tons of wonderful motivational quotes! Everyone loves a good quote!

Now here is the best thing about it ... it's easy to apply to my life so I can actually achieve the goals I set - not just read how to achieve them. Karbo and Nixon are like the wise old owls in the woods. Their wealth of experience and information about how to "get from where you are to where you want to be" has all been pulled together and put into this book. I have already made some long overdue changes needed in my life.
I'm on my 3rd reading and I find great new stuff each time I read it. It's highlighted in 3 different colors now .(Combined with the workbook that goes along with the "Lazy Man", I feel this is the best self help program ever because it helps me apply what I am learning..)

I really bought the book for the self-help part. I didn't even think about the second part of the book when I ordered it. I have to tell you - the second part of the book was a fantastic surprise. I am in sales and didn't think I had anything to learn, but I learned so much from the first part of the book I figured it wouldn't hurt to read the second half.

I'm glad I did because I learned alot from the second part of the book, which is really about direct response marketing. I don't do mail order, but I found the selling and marketing principles more helpful than any other sales or business book I've read. The part on ad writing is worth the price of the book alone. Much of the information in the second part of the book is dated, but the basic selling and marketing principles are timeless and work in today's world just as well. I am now using those principles to help build my Internet business!

Dreaming don't pay the bills........2002-12-28

The book was a fare read. After applying the strategies and adding some belief I expected some positive results. However, as is true of most books like this, it all resulted in nothing but a let down. The second part of the book is about starting a mail-order business from your kitchen table. That didn't work either, as it costs more time and money than was indicated. I guess this book was written when people lived simpler lives and a dollar was worth a dollar. The book probably sold very well by mail-order. I guess if you write your own book on mail-order and find a way to promote it so today's society will bite, you too could take the lazy man's way to riches. Lots of luck.

Product Description

1,000 KEY MANUFACTURERS IN BULGARIA! Bulgaria, with a population of around 7.5 million has a very positive commercial climate. Moving away from a traditional trade relationship with countries of the former socialist bloc, Bulgaria has become more oriented towards the United States, the European Union, Turkey and the Middle East. The general attitude in Bulgaria is pro-American and the Bulgarian market is very receptive to American goods and services. There are excellent opportunities for those companies willing to enter this developing and expanding market. Presented here is a comprehensive look at that part of Bulgaria's manufacturing sector which is experiencing the most economic growth, seen mainly in such major Bulgarian industries as electricity, gas and water; food, beverages and tobacco; machinery and equipment, base metals, chemical products, coke, refined petroleum and nuclear fuel. Information provided includes key fields of information such as company name, location, contact information, contact name, industry descriptions, SIC codes, line of business, manufacturing indicator, number of employees, year established, legal status, subsidiary indicator.
