Book Description

Troubled Waters presents a comprehensive analysis of the political and economic dynamics of the Caspian basin. It examines the diverse issues and players in what has become a modern variant of the "Great Game" of the 19th century. Following a historical overview of the region and its oil industries, the book analyzes the domestic politics and the foreign policies of the five states bordering the Caspian - Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. It identifies all the external interests involved in the Caspian's political rivalries and control over its resources and territory, including the US, the European powers, various nationalist movements, Islamic militants, national corporations and international corporations.

thoroughly written, easy to read.......2007-05-08

I knew a few things about central asia and the caspian region before reading these compelling pages. The authors knowledge is spread into this short book, giving all the information necessary to be aware of the geography, politics and economy of the countries in this part of the world. As you will see, the region is of main interest of "external actors" such as the United States and Europe, and big internal players such us Russia and Iran, all well depicted by the authors.

Energy is the main business of the caspian countries of course, but due to the geography in where those countries lay and the politics and different interest that mark the region, render difficult to pump that gas and oil off to new markets. Hence, everything here is long pipelines through different countries that help to make the price of the product less competitive, also affecting new projects (for example, a pipeline through Afghanistan). Thing is, these countries have plenty of gas resources that need to have markets. This book is a great read for those interested in the subject.

Caspian must.......2002-09-18

The two authors are very knowledgeable about the region and give the most comprehensive and updated analysis of the Caspian area, covering both the political and economical parameters. The book has an impressive bibliography, which makes it an excellent research tool for whoever is interested in expanding on the subject. Very well written.

Finally a long awaited all-in-one manual for the Caspian.......2002-03-26

In the decade since the breakup of the Soviet Union, we
were witness to the maneuvering and positioning of various
neighbor states and global powers as the battle for world
energy grows hotter.

I found this book to be a great introduction to the Caspian
region. Before this book, researchers and policymakers had
to look hard(and in many places) to find objective sources
of information that answered all their questions. This book
contains all that one needs to quickly learn about the region,
its history, politics, current problems, and perspectives for
the future.

Policymakers around the world recognize the strategic
importance of geopolitical control of the region. What I found
most striking is the equal attention given to all of the
political players in the world and not just the point of view
of Moscow or Washington.

I also appreciated the attention given to the Caspian's
environment, which is currently threatened to become another
Aral sea.

This book is for everyone starting from diplomats to
individuals who have an interest in the region and anyone
in between. I'll be recommending it to journalist friends
of mine who are covering or aspire to cover the region
in the future.

Book Description

Looking closely at the connection between external economic shocks and domestic adjustments in Pakistan during two financially turbulent decades, this book traces the origin of recurring external payment problems due to a lack of adequate domestic adjustments. Such problems are primarily
caused, according to the authors, by abrupt changes in the behavior of international goods and capital markets.

The Best Book On Selling I Have Ever Read.......2004-02-12

In the course of my adult life, I have sold all sorts of products and services. I have attended many sales courses & read dozens of sales books with the aim of being the best. I must say that this book is undoubtedly the most comprehensive source of sound advice I have ever come across. It is well structured and good-humoured with a lot of content I have not come across before. I have since made this my bible of selling which I refer to again and again when I need a little inspiration or motivation. Mr. Ellis effortlessly manages to encapsulate everything you ever needed to know about being a success in the world of selling. Thank you.

A Living Proof.......2002-05-01

In this world, we thank our parents as our first teacher , Then the second person we thank for is our teachers or mentors we met who guided and gave us inspiration in our career . How great a teacher is Mr. Patrick Ellis to new beginners who venture in marketing career studies. For there are living proofs of what his book WHO DARES SELLS can do!

I got hold of his book WHO DARES SELLS and like a miracle I had made it a guiding star to my quest in my marketing career. There are readers who bought his books and I am sure the book did something wonderful to them as it did to me since 1996.

I have graduated Dip.EMC and had studied related courses like IMPORT/EXPORT/International Trade which are important in Marketing products.Overall marketing knowledge is important factor to SUCCESS!!!

Thank you Mr. Patrick Ellis for that guiding beacon on marketing.

This book dared to include no new information.......2002-03-11

I've read a ton of sales books and picked this one up because it looked promising. Reading it has been a waste of time. The author spends most of your time rather vulgarly promoting himself. A little, hopefully subtle, horn blowing always happens in sales books, but usually the self-promotion at least alternates with the sales ideas you bought it for. Not in this book. The coverage Who Dares Sells is shallow and contains no new, or even uncommon, information. ... I kept thinking I would get to some good ides eventually, so I kept reading. I'll save you the time. Avoid the book. There's a reason that there are no testimonials on the exterior, the book doesn't warrant any. If absolutes, generalities, and the occasional inane motivational song from the author are your bag, maybe check it out, maybe. If you've found that kind of advice as worthless in sales as I have, find another book.

I dare you to waste your time on this book!.......2000-09-23

The scope of this book is so broad that it doesn't go into much detail on any of the topics it attempts to cover! The author brags often about his success in selling and espouses rambling thoughts lacking any clearly defined point. No new ground is broken here. Much of the content is a rehash of principles better covered in many other books. There are a number of fine sales books out there. Sadly this is not one of them. I regret wasting the money I spent on this book and the time I spent reading it. I've never written a review before, but I feel a sense of duty to alert others. It's a catchy title and a beautiful cover, outside of that it's value couldn't be any lower if they had left all the pages blank.

Who Dares Sells.......2000-02-07

It is one of the Must-not-Miss book for everyone who want to become an impeccable sales professional in any field. Reading Who Dares Sells is much more than fun I also picked up new selling techniques whenever I come back to read even the same pages. I must thank to my former boss who gave the book as a Christmas present.
