Provides a nice overview of non-profit law.......2007-08-31

Bruce Hopkins is a well-known expert in the area of non-profit law. He has written several ponderous tome on various aspects of the subject, which are primarily useful to attorneys in the field.

This volume is different. Divided in chapters by subject area, it provides a useful overview for non-experts who have an interest in the subject (e.g., a person who has just been elected to a non-profit board and wants to obtain an overview of his or her responsibilities and possible problems).

As it becomes increasingly clear that non-profit organizations are plagued with many of the same problems as for-profit corporations, this book will become increasingly useful.

Book Description

The traditional social and political conflicts that Bangladesh has failed to resolve over the past two decades are described by specialists on that country's economy. Some of the issues discussed are nationalization versus privatization, relationships between political and military institutions, institutionalizing and stabilizing democracy, and formulation of appropriate manpower policy. The contributors suggest policy measures to resolve the conflicts, and in doing so reveal the silver linings of the economy of Bangladesh.

Book Description

This book comprehensively examines the performance of Bangladeshi agriculture in light of the most recent thinking on economic development and the environment. It both analyzes the experience during the last five decades and discusses the major issues and challenges with special emphasis on the prospects for sustainable agricultural development in the future.

The authors emphasize the importance of distributional aspects of environmental change and development in relation to employment and poverty and also focus on gender issues - often ignored in traditional theory.

Many of the issues that arise in Bangladesh in connection with the agricultural-development nexus are not unique to the country. Parallels exist elsewhere in the developing world and as such Bangladesh is useful as an example from which to draw conclusions about much of the developing world. Environment and Agriculture in a Developing Economy will therefore be of particular interest to developmental and environmental economists as well as international organizations and NGOs committed to environment and development issues.

On these day of tech-changes and everything is changing up side down, never has been as necessary as it is now to nurture relationships.

Book Description

This Manual is divided into two sections. The first deals with sale of goods and covers all major aspects of this subject, extending beyond sales contracts to include contracts for the supply of goods and services. The author deals with the essential concepts of property transfer and respective obligations of each party to perform its side of the contract and the remedies available in default. Statutory protection in its various forms is discussed and the relevant statutory provisions are appropriately extracted for ease of reference. Particular attention is given to more recent legislation, to the contribution of the European Union in this area and to the problems of electronic commerce. The work also includes consideration of recent case law. The second section, dealing with Consumer Credit, explores the Consumer Credit Act 1974, explaining its difficult concepts with clarity. The discussion is user-friendly, for example in the use of flowcharts and in concise explanation of the calculation of rebates on early settlement.

If you discovered this book--or anything else Amazon.com's technology suggested based on your expressed preferences and past actions on the site--you've seen how so-called recommender technology can point you toward products you are most likely to appreciate. Word of Mouse, by John Riedl and Joseph Konstan, provides excellent advice on using such systems to personalize business offerings and improve their chances of acceptance by a demanding public. Riedl and Konstan, who helped invent the software involved and now work on its integration with companies like Best Buy and J.C. Penney, present eight principles to guide 21st-century enterprises in gathering and employing the kind of knowledge small merchants used in years past to suggest appropriate purchases to specific customers. Citing real corporate examples to illustrate correct and incorrect ways to use such data, the authors show how to harness the information customers provide with "every click and comment" in order to "gain their trust and keep their business." After an overview of the technology, they detail rules like Demonstrate Product Expertise (explaining, for example, how Wine.com helps customers make informed decisions and Godiva.com makes online chocolate shopping more enjoyable) and Watch What I Do (explaining how customer actions have been effectively interpreted by Google, which ranks its search results accordingly, and by PHOAKS, which subsequently began screening ads from newsgroup postings). A concluding chapter on future scenarios reinforces the importance of the book's message. --Howard Rothman

Dot coms will come and dot coms will go, but one thing is for sure: technology and the Internet have forever changed the way we communicate and do business. Two computer scientists from Minnesota are at the vanguard of the revolution. Their creation is collaborative filtering, and it's turning out to be an incredibly subtle and effective tool for every company that uses it. To test CF, John Riedl and Joseph Konstan built two online companies: GroupLens and MovieLens. These Internet sites allowed users to customize their preferences for movies and news. The results were astounding: MovieLens could recommend a movie with 90% accuracy, almost insuring that the recommendation would prove enjoyable. And the potential application for other companies is amazing-anyone from Land's End to Clinique can use CF to build customer profiles and sell products, goods, and services to consumers. The authors analyze dozens of brick and mortar and Internet companies including Kraft, Zagat, Expedia, and Wine.com, examining what these companies are doing right-and what they're doing wrong. They then map out a broad range of strategies that any company can employ to raise revenue and customer loyalty and satisfaction. WORD OF MOUSE will be the first book to bring collaborative filtering to the business community.
