Book Description
Moving Mountains is about campaigns challenging the power, priorities, and practices of global mining corporations. Transnational mining companies are key agents of corporate globalization, which are often larger than national economies, and dominate governments and local peoples, creating fiefdoms dedicated to the single purpose of extracting resources. Contributors from a wide range of backgrounds discuss experiences, strategies, and key issues in the globalization debate, through various accounts from Canada, Australia, Bougainville, the US, and the Philippines.

Book Description
New Faces of the Fur Trade is a collection of fifteen essays selected from the Seventh North American Fur Trade Conference held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1995. These articles question the traditional focus of fur trade literature and suggest that there are richer, more diverse narratives to be constructed and new ways to look at the fur trade. Many focus on subjects and themes that either have been formerly overlooked or have been introduced and then neglected. Fur trade studies have been criticized for remaining outside the current mainstream of historiography, in particular for paying scant attention to the rich insights to be found in approaches adopted for the fields of social and gender history. This volume redresses some of those omissions.
Customer Reviews:
Fur Trade History is Flourishing!!.......2001-03-28
This book presents the latest scholarship on a wide variety of topics in the lively field of fur trade history. By making available many of the best papers presented at the Halifax conference, this book brings to a broad audience the research of scholars young and old who have studied several important aspects of what may fairly be described as one of the fundamental themes in early North American history. Topics range from biographies to economic, social, and cultural history. This book demonstrates that the field is alive and well, and that fur trade history can certainly offer important materials for students and teachers of American or Canadian history.

Small Business Administration (SBA) statistics indicate that 60 percent of all start-ups begin without sufficient capital. Small business coach Kimberly Stansell refers to these enterprises as "monetarily challenged," and her Bootstrapper's Success Secrets: 151 Tactics for Building Your Business on a Shoestring Budget is a guide for overcoming the challenges that result. Practical strategies used in her own business life, along with those employed successfully by others, are presented in clearly defined chapters such as "Evaluating Your Idea," "Working with Others," and "Coping with Adversity." An array of additional resources is cited at the end of each section.

Book Description
Many workplaces have become characterized as learning organizations where knowledge workers provide the required competitive edge. Due to the dynamic changes in the economic structures, adaptive, generative, lifelong, and continuous learning have become norms. Leaders in the corporate world have a greater responsibility to provide direction in knowledge building and knowledge delivery systems. The key competencies required for leadership have been impacted by the change in corporate structures and the ever-changing formats that define competitive business landscapes. Traditional universities are also experiencing greater demand to provide the necessary skill sets required by individuals tasked with developing, incorporating, and communicating new knowledge. When it comes to learning models, the business focus on "continuous improvement" makes all the sense in the world.
It is in this spirit of continuous learning that this book was compiled. The seventh volume in the series
Educational Innovation in
Economics and Business contains a unique selection of articles addressing four major themes: (I) Designing New Education Models, (II) Preparing Students for Work in the Corporate Arena, (III) Using Technology to Enhance Learning Environments, and (IV) Methods to Maximize Student Learning. It is meant for educators in corporate training centers as well as for teachers in further and higher education.

Stuart shows you that money is merely a form of energy - and that the difference between having it and not having it is merely a small but subtle shift in consciousness.
Customer Reviews:
Stuart Wilde Devotee.......2007-10-01
I have been a follower of Stuart Wilde for many years and his approach to life absolutely works. Having read all his books I am now buying additional copies to give to friends. Remember, Life Was Never Meant To Be A Struggle.
Manifesting Wealth is a form of Art.......2007-08-27
This author completely changed my life, since I was 15. I am 23 years old now and am benefiting greatly from his incredible insights that have turned my life around in ways that cannot ever fill a measly paragraph. I have embraced his principles regarding manifestation, and I have to say, it's a tricky process, depending on the type of person you are, but Stuart Wilde explains how simplistic it really is....however, it's still tricky nonetheless, the gist of it all is using a force to be in your favor. Harness that, everything comes right to you as long as your energy can sustain it, for "if all the wealth in the world were distributed evenly, we'd all be millionaires''. This is a a key concept to keep in mind. I guess you can tell by now how much I read his books, after all, there IS something to them if you keep your mind open. See for yourself.
Negative overwhelms the positive........2007-06-06
This book was originally purchased about 5 years ago, then packed away. Three things I remembered about it were: the woman who won the lottery, picking up coins every time you find them, and the negative comments about Mother Theresa. I came across it the other day and decided to read it again. However, I'm in a very different place now than I was then. This time I had to stop about half way through and it ended up in the trash.
Although he presents some interesting ways to think about money, the caustic, negative, sarcastic examples, comments and put-downs thrown in here, there and everywhere became a headache to read. For someone who sprinkles his chapters with the words God-force, spirit, spiritual, etc., as though it's where he's coming from, such negativity is incongruous. He also throws out the words metaphysical, occult and energy in ways that seemed shallow to me, as if they might make his book intriguing to some and give some weight to his opinions. It bothered me how often he put something over on someone as an example to do the same. How does any of this contribute to a better life? It doesn't when you understand, through awareness and experience, that your thoughts and feelings determine your experiences. Even he admits that. He wrote a lot about the importance of feelings, but ignored how discouraged and uncomfortable someone might feel reading the kind of remarks he makes about others. It seems that he doesn't have a clue, or doesn't care.
There are also inconsistancies. For example, after mouthing off about how bad the System is, he says that you are required to join it to make lots of money. He says you don't have to work hard for money, then turns around and says that increasing and keeping it takes more time, effort and work than most are willing to do. And he seems to look down his nose at those who aren't willing to invest in the effort to be in with the movers and shakers of the financial world. He suggests that someone who doesn't have what HE says it takes maybe wants only a "little" more than what they have now. This kind of opinionated arrogance isn't helpful for those who desire their own individual level of wealth.
For anyone who wants to bring in their wealth through creativity instead of competition, I suggest "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace Wattles. (Some might prefer an updated version.) It's principles are practical, and it is written in a positive, encouraging, and uplifting way. Applying these ideas does make the kind of difference in your life that begins to bring you in sync with the level of wealth you want. It has made a huge difference in mine.
Stuart Wilde also points out the importance and endurance of quality, but his book isn't anywhere near that caliber.
This is My #1 All-Time Best Read.......2006-12-26
This book, The Trick to Money Is Having Some, is THE BOOK that turned my financial life around 180 degrees. From broke and homeless to affluent (and a homeOWNER). I can't say enough about this book, other than read it ASAP....Mike Stokes
Great Book!.......2006-09-25
This book is not a get-rich-quick scheme. What it can do for you, if you are open to utilizing its suggestions, is help to change the way you think about money. As the saying says, change your thinking and you change your life. What you think about and focus on becomes your reality. This book really helped me to not only understand in terms of knowledge, but in terms of wisdom, that money is just energy like EVERYTHING ELSE. It is only as important as the value we place on it. This book can open your eyes to a good look at the limiting beliefs surrounding your relationship with money. It's up to you to heal the riffs, but in my opinion, this book is a good start.

Between six and seven million people discover network marketing every year. With the promise of a huge monthly income, they trade their hopes and dreams for a chance to sell friends and family their new hopes and dreams.

Together, we'll start with your first day of network marketing and journey through to your prospecting campaigns. We'll discuss what really works for you and why, and we'll identify warning signs you should watch for. We'll even confront topics that "experts" are afraid to address. By gaining the benefits of proven advice, you'll learn exactly how to achieve your goals.
Network marketing can provide you with the happiness, security, and comfort you desire, but only if you succeed. Network Marketing: How To Play By Your Own Rules and Win is the key to discovering the secrets and solutions you need to finally win the game of network marketing.

The tone is too negative........2003-09-05
I guess there is a lot of good advice in this book. I didn't like the tone. The author says he enjoys network marketing but his overall tone was negative. I imagine it was his attempt at being straightforward and honest. It didn't come across that way, I felt the author was distrustful of network marketing meetings and the "upline". It would've been better with some upbeat advice and anecdotes.

Product Description
Worldwide experience highlights public finance policies that promote economic growth while meeting the need for fundamental public goods. Macroeconomic stability is essential, as large budget deficits retard growth, followed by moderate levels of public spending - around one-third of GDP or less - especially when governance and public administration are weak; that in turn requires efficiency, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, health, education, and social protection; finally, lower income and payroll tax rates can spur investment and employment. The Eastern European and Central Asia countries pioneered flat income taxes without generally suffering revenue losses as a result, but they have not addressed the problem of high payroll taxes and still face many hurdles in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public spending and revenue generation.

Book Description
The fiscal policy framework of the EMU is in a states of crisis. Since the start of EMU, fiscal conditions in some member states have slipped considerably beyond the limits set by the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. It is clear that the preventive arm of the Stability and Growth Pact has failed to preclude excessive deficits.
There is no shortage of proposals to reform the current fiscal framework in this crisis situation. They range from calls for softening their implementation, and to proposals for closer coordination of national fiscal policies. None of these proposals offers a convincing solution to the problem at the heart of the current crisis: how to balance the need for effective long-run fiscal stability in EMU with the need for short-run flexibility of fiscal policy in the member states.
After a detailed analysis of the virtues and defects of the current fiscal framework, this report presents a proposal for reform that addresses this issue. The authors argue that EMU should move away from rigid fiscal rules for annual deficits towards a more judgmental process of monitoring the sustainability of fiscal policies. This approach is guided by three principles: independence, transparency, and legitimacy. Together wit the ability to assess the fiscal situation and outlook of each euro-area member state, they are the keys to designing a framework that provides enough flexibility and, at the same time, can build the required credibility and political support.
The authors propose the creation of a Sustainability Council for the EMU, and independent body with the sole statutory task of safeguarding the sustainability of public finances in the euro area. The Sustainability Council regularly and openly reports to the public and the European Parliament its assessment of the member states' fiscal policies, taking into account past performance, current perspectives and the future course of fiscal policies. Its mandate is the counterpart of the ECB's principal task of maintaining price stability. However, the Sustainability Council has no operative role in fiscal policy; it relies solely on the pressure of informed public opinion to discipline national governments. The use of the instruments of fiscal policy is entirely left to the national governments, and the Sustainability Council can only be conceived as a judge of national public finances.

Book Description
The need for subnational demographic, social, economic, and fiscal data in designing effective intergovernmental fiscal systems is becoming increasingly evident. In Central and Eastern European countries, the legacy of the region's communist past are information systems rooted in the centralized economy. Such an approach becomes less acceptable as economic issues become more complex and subnational governments in these transition economies become responsible for the delivery of local services. As political imperatives support increasingly democratic forms of governance in which people's needs must be taken into account in the design of policy options, there is a need for information systems that provide data to allow policymakers and citizens to assess the outcomes of policy choices.
Subnational Data Requirements for Fiscal Decentralization summarizes the findings of needs assessment activities in five demonstration countries that are at different stages of fiscal decentralization: Bulgaria, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Ukraine. These assessments are part of a program on subnational statistical capacity building, launched by the World Bank Institute, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the Economic Development Center of the Soros Foundation.
