Michael Mina: The Cookbook
Michael Mina , JoAnn Cianciulli , Andre Agassi , and Karl Petzke Manufacturer: Bulfinch ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0821257536 |
Book Description
Mina knows that cooks like to master one recipe but then try different flavors with the main ingredient. MICHAEL MINA reveals how to recreate his trio concept, where a master recipe is followed by three flavor variations, each with its own variations and accompanied by side dishes created just for that version. A crispy loin of pork can be served with an orange/carrot, apple/sage, or tomato/corn combination of accompaniments. Although the flavor combinations create a sense of complexity, the recipes themselves are simple.Accompanying the trios are Mina's classic and most-requested recipes from his acclaimed restaurants, including Whole Fried Chicken with Truffled Macaroni and Cheese, and Root Beer Float with Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies. This book is a must-have for any cook with an adventurous palate.Customer Reviews:

Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business
Danny Meyer Manufacturer: HarperCollins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0060742755 Release Date: 2006-10-03 |
Amazon.com
Book DescriptionIn this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he's learned while developing the winning recipe for doing the business he calls "enlightened hospitality." This innovative philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: The first and most important application of hospitality is to the people who work for you, and then, in descending order of priority, to the guests, the community, the suppliers, and the investors. This way of prioritizing stands the more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success that he and his restaurants have achieved.
Full of behind-the-scenes history on the creation of Danny's most famous restaurants and the anecdotes, advice, and lessons he has accumulated on his long and ecstatic journey to the top of the American restaurant scene, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights that are applicable to any business or organization.
Is the customer always right? According to Danny Meyer, one of America's leading restauranteurs, the answer is no--but "they must always feel heard." Named one of the most influential New Yorkers of 2006 by New York magazine, Meyer, the founder and co-owner of 11 of Manhattan's most influential restaurants, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Tabla, The Modern, Blue Smoke, and Shake Shack, has penned Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality, a business book that reads like food lit and equal part personal memoir. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons took some time from his daily long-distance day-dreaming of Shake Shack and caught up with the ever-gracious Danny Meyer over e-mail to ask about his new book, the Food Network, his favorite cookbooks, insider tips on dining out, and much more.

Quantitative Models of Learning Organizations (Interdisciplinary Studies in Economics and Management)
Herbert Dawid , Karl Doerner , Georg Dorffner , Thomas Fent , Markus Feurstein , Richard Hartl , Andreas Mild , Martin Natter , Marc Reimann , and Alfred Taudes Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3211837248 |
Book Description
In a rapidly changing economical environment, quick adaptation is one of the crucial tasks for modern management and permanent learning is a key-factor in the struggle for successfully coping with this challenge. The learning process itself is based not only upon the information gathered on the market, but also upon the totality of knowledge within the company. This book develops a theory of a firm that is based on these principles rather than on optimization and classical equilibrium. It uses quantitative models to describe adaptive firm behavior, the various types of learning as well as various domains of application (organization of new production development, adoption of business models, market entry etc.). It gives an introduction to the various mathematical models of learning and to the applications to problems in microeconomics as well as in business administration. The reader can expect a comprehensive introduction to the subject, its significance for economic theory and managerial practice.

The Economics of Non-Convex Ecosystems (Economics of Non-Market Goods and Resources, V. 4)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1402018649 |
Book Description
Economists all too often assume that ecosystem and population dynamics are subject to convex (even linear) processes. However, research by ecosystem and population ecologists has shown that the processes in question are very often non-convex. This has important implications for environmental and resource economics. Typically, a system under study or being managed would contain multiple basins of attraction. So the system would flip from one basin to another if a "threshold" (mathematically, a bifurcation) were crossed. Furthermore, the flip could be irreversible. But even if it were reversible, the system could well display hysteresis. The latter eventuality means that in order to entice the system to return to its original basin of attraction, a different and possibly costly path has to be traced. A mistake in management may then be a lot more costly than envisaged. An example would be a possible flip of the Gulf Stream owing to fresh water intrusion from melting glaciers during global warming.
These conclusions offer a sharper interpretation of the so-called precautionary principle. Moreover, the structure of optimum taxes and subsidies that Nature calls for is likely to be far more complicated than has been envisaged so far in environmental and resource economics. All this implies that environmental and resource economists would be wise to work closely with ecosystem and population ecologists. There is a great deal more to learn in the economics of non-convex ecosystems.

The Associational Economy: Firms, Regions, and Innovation
Philip Cooke , and Kevin Morgan Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0198296592 |
Book Description
Philip Cooke and Kevin Morgan explore important issues of corporate reorganization in the context of heightened global competition. Their special focus is upon how firms associate with regional milieux. Innovation is a key factor in corporate and regional economic performance and the authors show how interactive innovation based on collective learning and associative practices are becoming increasingly significant. In-depth studies of inter-firm and firm-agency interactions are presented for four European regions: Baden-Wurttemberg and Emilia-Romagna as accomplished regional economies; Wales and the Basque Country as learning regions. The book is theoretically informed by an evolutionary economics perspective and draws policy conclusions which emphasise the importance of decentralized industrial policy in support of both corporate and regional economic development ambitions. It concludes that the associational economy may be the `third way' between state and market co-ordination of modern economies.Customer Reviews:

Manufacturer: World Bank Publications ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0821361236 |
Book Description
Protection and sound management of coastal and marine areas are acknowledged as important mechanisms for alleviating poverty in the developing tropics. Tanzania has had considerable practical experience with a diversity of models that rely on private sector partnerships, community co-management regimes, and government-led initiatives for marine protection. Blueprint 2050 outlines a vision of what a protected area system could look like in 50 years. It draws on state-of-the-art ecosystem, socioeconomic, financial, and institutional background studies to paint a picture that emphasizes community-based adaptive co-management within a flexible system of eight protected area networks, one of which is the Exclusive Economic Zone.Download Description

Rent-Seeking, Institutions and Reforms in Africa: Theory and Empirical Evidence for Tanzania
Pius V. Fischer Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0387337725 |
Book Description
This book identifies rent-seeking behaviour as one of the main causes of poor economic performance, observed, among other places, in many countries of Africa. Rent-seeking describes the ability to capture incomes without producing output or making a productive contribution. Since rent-seekers are often an integral part of an ailing economy and resist the adoption of reforms, understanding and anticipating rent-seeking behaviour is crucial for designing more adequate and effective policy reforms.
Following a comprehensive theoretical elaboration of the causes, properties and consequences of rents and rent-seeking strategies in the context of economic reforms and development cooperation, this book presents a detailed case study on rent-seeking within the civil service, parastatal sector and business community. It demonstrates how rent-seekers in Tanzania have systematically delayed or undermined reforms such as tax reforms, trade liberalisation, privatisation or any reforms that aim to restrain corruption and embezzlement. The case study quantifies and evaluates the rent-seeking behaviour of more than 300 parastatal companies, considering their profits and losses, the quality and timeliness of their accounting and the magnitude of support they obtained from 16 different sources.
Though it is often difficult to describe rent-seeking empirically—many aspects are hidden and obscured by all sorts of fake explanations—the study at hand explores the maze of endless, general and disaggregated information and traces as many indications of rent-seeking as possible. This broad and detailed approach makes the study unique not only for Tanzania but also within the literature on rent-seeking and development cooperation.

Towards Integrated Soil Fertility Management in Tanzania: Developing Farmers' Options and Responsive Polities in the Context of Prevailing Agro-Ecological Socio-Economic and Institutional Conditions
G. Ley , G. Baltissen , W. Veldkamp , A. Nyaki , and T. Schrader Manufacturer: KIT Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9068321455 |
Book Description
Declining soil fertility has been identified as the fundamental agronomic cause for declining per capita food production in Africa. This has resulted in poverty, wide spread malnutrition and massive environmental degradation. Governments, international donors and research centers have made great efforts to address the issue of declining soil fertility at continental and national scales. This book reviews some of the efforts in Tanzania to alleviate soil fertility constraints. The book presents and analyzes the ISFM policy debates at international and Tanzanian level, the Integrated Plant Nutrient Management (IPNM) database and constraint-options model created for Tanzania, factors influencing ISFM in Tanzania and the participatory approaches used by different projects across the country. It concludes by suggesting more comprehensive and user-friendly approaches to ISFM and recommending policy issues to facilitate their implementation.
