Location, Transport and Land-Use: Modelling Spatial-Temporal Information

Book Description

This book identifies the underlying principles that govern siting, community development, and product/service delivery. Included are step-by-step procedures to perform: site location, land-use planning, location-routing, competitive allocation of products/services and spatial forecasting. The treatment goes well beyond the state-of-the-art, suggesting specific emerging techniques that are able to address the following problems: emergency-response to natural and manmade hazards, environmental planning, infrastructure management, intelligent transportation systems, real-estate development, remote-sensing, supply-chain management and urban land-use plans. Mindful of the cross-disciplinary nature of today's practice, this book equips professionals and researchers with the necessary techniques and software to work effectively with other members of the team, often from a different background. Location, Transport, and Land-Use is supplemented by many examples, case studies and solutions.

Book Description

America's Soluble Problems, while recognizing the many successes of the US economy, analyzes its well-known problems with a fresh new approach. Are slow growth, stagnant living standards for many, increasing poverty for the worst off, the hollowing out of much US manufacturing, balance of payments and fiscal deficits, all inevitable? This book argues that they are not, and that entirely achievable changes in macro-economic policy could transform the prospects for the US economy and for most American citizens.

Expert analysis of economic problems, not just the USA's!.......2001-08-04

John Mills, author of the excellent `Europe's economic dilemma', has written a fascinating book about America's economy, which has many lessons for us in Britain. Particularly important, he shows how vital manufacturing industry is to a flourishing economy.

He shows that productivity increases are much easier to achieve in manufacturing than in services: for example, output per head in US manufacturing has recently been growing by 4% a year, while in services it has fallen by 14%. But since manufacturing now accounts for only 17% of US GDP, it does not have enough weight to pull the whole economy forward. Consequently, most American workers' living standards have stagnated or declined over the last 30 years. The rundown of industry has caused a consistent fall in real US earnings per hour.

The domination of finance capital has imposed literally counterproductive policies both in the USA and in Britain. It has kept the currency overvalued, so exports wither, manufacturing, investment and living standards all fall.

The EU embraces the same policies. The European Central Bank puts price stability above all else. Mills shows that this is the wrong goal, because lower inflation does not cause greater growth. For instance, between 1953 and 1969, Britain's cumulative inflation rate was 3.4%; Japan's was 4%. Yet Japan's annual growth rate was 10% while Britain's was only 2.8%. Japan grew faster because the prices of its exports rose by only 33%; Britain's export prices rose by 380%! This was because the pound was grossly overvalued; the yen was not.

What should we do? We have to make the Government do the job it was elected to do. So when Gordon Brown talks about full employment, or Tony Blair calls for a technological revolution, we must say yes, and insist that they put our money where their mouth is, and invest in manufacturing industry.

Excellent Internationalisation and Data Standards Info !!!.......2005-11-09

I found this book from a bibliographic reference while reading "XML for Data Architects" by the same author. The "E-Commerce" part of the title threw me a bit, but after reading through the book I was amazed. This book contains a tremendous amount of strategy, approach, technique, and supporting reference for those who are involved with design and development of international technology. Even more valuable to me were the numerous international, national and industry data standards resources. After having given it a solid read, I am impressed. Cheers !

great choice.......2003-05-28

Presenting Keynote.......2003-11-08

Author, Erik Holsinger, has extensive media experience and has written over a 100 articles for CNET, MacWeek, PC World, AV Video and Digital Magic. Mr. Holsinger has also written 3 books, The MacWeek Guide to Desktop Video, How Music and Computers Work and How Multimedia Works.

Keynote was developed at Apple Computer for one client, Steve Jobs. Jobs wanted a powerful presentation program that could display still images, play audio and play video for his major presentations at MacWorld keynote speeches. That where the name comes from. The author said that Jobs beta tested Keynote for over a year.

Mr. Holsinger organizes the book into three main sections and is a mix of reading, demonstrations and hands on practice. The three sections are Getting Started, Keynote Presentations For the Real World and Keynote Meets the World. He takes you from a basic an introduction of keynote, to a multi project tutorials ending with information and tips on PowerPoint, presentation equipment and various output methods.

The book ends with several appendixes that cover Keyboard and mouse shortcuts, a catalog of Keynote graphic library and many online resources. While the Keynote software is not included he does provide a CD-Rom containing tutorial files, demo movies and other programs. The only disadvantage I encountered was with the CD-Rom, which ties into your Internet program to access the web, and can be very slow if you have a modem connection. It is very useful if you have DSL or cable modem. In future releases The author should include a demo version of Keynote on the CD or set it up so people with slow connections (modems) will not give up on the CD.

The book is laid out well. The beginner is walked through every element and steps of Keynote while the more experienced can skip around to the areas of interest.

Excellent hands-on reference for all levels of need.......2005-01-01

I have worked as a vocational counselor for many years, and I use this book on a regular basis with my clients as well as with my own family/friends. A nice feature of The Career Portfolio Workbook is that it outlines what you need to do during the process of creating a portfolio, but also recognizes that some people don't have the time to work through the process in a step-by-step fashion. For example, the book has a note in the introduction that if you need a portfiolo in a hurry - say, for an interview tomorrow - you need to read chapters X and Y. With a week to prepare, chapters W, X, Y, and Z should top your reading list. If you have more time, read the whole book.

The directions are wonderful, and allow each person a wide range of flexibility in terms of developing a unique style of presentation. The book includes templates, sample portfolios, and other documents you can modify for your own use.

Highly recommended.

A unique way to manage your Career.......2003-07-07

This book really works! It is clearly written and is guaranteed to help you put together an excellent portfolio. Only days after using the guidelines of this book to create a PEAKS resume, I got 3 calls for job interviews. It really is amazing and I recommend it to anyone, no matter how far along you are in your career.

Valuable tools in a well written book.......2003-02-16

The book clearly presents how to create a powerful career portfolio and market yourself effectively. Very valuable tools presented in a well-written book made this one of my best Amazon buys of the year.

A must have.......2003-01-21

I know you've heard it before, buy this book and great things will happen. This book is different. It offers easy to read, true to life examples of what it is really like when your out looking for a job or promotion. The authors base the workbook on how you can set yourself apart from your competition. I was very hesitant at first but gave the career portfolio a try. The step by step directions in the book made a seemingly daunting task quite manageable and rewarding in itself. I put together my career portfolio and have a new confidence in myself that I am sure contributed to landing my new job. I wish I had this years ago.

Book Description

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE!

The easiest way to lose control of your life is to lose control of your financial life. Joan Perry's spectacularly successful Wall Street career shielded her from that truth--until a failed love affair and a lost nest egg jolted her into rethinking her priorities and then acting on them. Today, through her company, Take Charge Financial!, Perry helps women gain control of their money and their lives by building long-term financial well-being through smart investing.

In A Girl Needs Cash, Perry provides women at all stages of life with an unusual program that goes beyond just the basics of personal finance. She breaks through the myths and misconceptions that have kept women financial captives and gives the scoop on growing wealth. Among the important topics discussed:

Taking charge: Perry shows you step by step how to review your spending habits and develop new sources of income to create the kind of life you want to live--now and well into your future.

Creating the "money machine": Perry shows how to build a personal "money machine" to generate real cash flow with the right investment choices for you--stocks, mutual funds, real estate--and understand the tax choices that affect your cash flow.

The time to take financial action is now. From offering new thinking about your attitude toward money to providing the tools for successful investing, A Girl Needs Cash is one of the most important books a woman can read.

Customer Reviews:

Fiction, pure fiction.......2006-03-31

I live in the same town as Joan Perry and know her personally and was (past tense) a client. The advice she gives in this book is taken from seminars put on by Tony Robbins and his like. There is not an original idea in this other than the literary device of telling it like a series of stories about individual women. Worse yet Ms. Perry does not follow her own counsel. She overspends, depends on men for investment decisions, and still believes in the "white knight" herself. In fact she does not really play a significant role in managing money at Take Charge Financial at all, she hires that function out to a professional money manager, a man! Nothing inherently wrong with that except her premise is that women should learn to make their own decisions. In short this whole book is a fraud! Reads nice but if you think about it she is talking down to us women who really put our money where our mouth is.

You NEED this book!.......2003-08-24

This book belongs in every woman's library. It is entertaining and easy to read, but makes finances and saving for retirement easy. Honest, even if you "aren't good at math."

A Great Read For Women Of All Ages.......2003-04-28

"A Girl Needs Cash" is an interesting story aimed directly at changing the female mindset towards money and investing. The author, Joan Perry, lends her financial expertise to the reader through the lives of six very different women. Perry makes it easy for women of all ages to relate to atleast one of her characters. She explains the myths that keep women from reaching their financial potential and poses easy to understand solutions to go about breaking them. I recommended this book to my mom, and do so for all "girls" looking to take charge of their purses!

Kristin's Review.......2002-12-10

The way in which Joan used real life characters to describe the book was very helpful. There were so many characters to relate to that anyone who reads this book is given the opportunity to see themself through the thoughts of the characters in the book.

Joan made the book very personable. She told many stories about her life and made the reader feel important enough to learn more about her. Throughout the book you get the feeling that she is truly writing to make you more educated about money.

The book has a totally "girl power" attitude. She talks about how we as women should take more control of our financial life. Joan's goal is to prove to women that we really are capable of feeling better about our financial life if we partake in it. If we stand back and let someone else take care of it for us then we are afraid of it and feel that it is out of our power. Our financial life should be just as important to us as our career life, family life, social life, etc.

This book can easily be understood and makes women of today's world more motivated to take part in their financial life.

Econ Class.......2002-12-09

For my economics class, I had to chose and read a book involving some form of economics. I read "A Girl Needs Cash" and was pleasantly surprised because I found the book to be very interesting. I enjoyed how the author was able to turn the book into an acutal story instead of just writng facts about enconomics like an encyclopedia would. Not only did the author show us the lives of other people and how their financial lives were going, but she also put herself and her experiences in the book which made it much more interesting to know that even people like her at one point stuggled with money. My favorite part of the book was the section on "The White Knight Myth". The "Money Machine" was also a very helpful tip. This book contained some very good advice and was motivating. I do belive that this book will help me with my own financial life.
