How to survive your bohemian, artistic or activist lifestyle.......2000-09-15

We've all come across starving artists, musicians, and creative types whose personal affairs are in such shambles that they may never realize their talent, but what to do? You can't marry all of them, and they steadfastly resist sound business advice.

Ms. Bridges gets past that resistance by devising visualization techniques for sound business practices based on the symbols and archetypes of the Tarot deck's major arcana. Non-linear types will be relieved to discover that it's not necessary to work through all the steps in exact order.

And she counters the thorny question of "aren't I selling out?" by appealing to the reader to bring their gifts into the world in harmony, just like the Indians did.

After the usual soul searching about "am I doing the right thing for the planet?", being in business for yourself turns out to be exactly what you expected-- developing the habits of personal organization and initiative necessary to carry out an original project.

This good-humored approach to banishing chaos and impoverished despair will have a rather unique charm for certain out-of-the-box thinkers.

Although many Native Americans are justifiably appalled at the expropriation of indigenous spirituality by flaky suburbanites, I'd urge them to cut Ms. Bridges some slack regarding this book. It's exactly the sort of practical survival information we need so that our alternative communities can thrive and grow.

A Top Rated Book Of Epic Proportions!.......2001-12-13

I would say that this book is really worth its book cover price and then some. Mr. Lowstuter and Mr. Robertson have both done a wonderful job protraying the intricacies of social networking, not only for a job, but for basic communications and achieve higher goals. You see the main topics of who to speak to, who to contact, following proper protocols, etc. Yet there is a subtle push to really excel at this form of human communication. There is a buildup of internal force that exudes positive energies when you make your contacts. Although there is a business format that is followed, you can actually apply the principles in other methodologies. If you need a push in your professional career's contact methods- this book is one of the best!

Book Description

The Caspian Sea region is rich in oil and natural gas and can potentially become a major energy supplier. Despite the interest of the three Caspian countries of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, their energy resources have remained mainly undeveloped a decade after their independence. The main factor that has prevented the full development of the Caspian energy resources has been the difficulty of selecting long-term safe, reliable, and economically viable export routes. The three landlocked Caspian countries have no choice but to depend on their neighbors to access international waters for their exports. For many reasons, including internal stability and extensive oil facilities and pipelines, Iran offers the most suitable routes to all three Caspian countries. However, despite the interest of the Caspian energy-exporters, in using this route, the U.S. policy of containment of Iran has prevented them from doing so. For political, economic, and security reasons, the existing in-use Georgian and Russian routes cannot and will not be a long-term solution for energy exports. The insistence of the American government on imposing the expensive and unreliable Turkish route on the reluctant Caspian energy-exporters and its categorical rejection of the Iranian route have created a major obstacle to the development of the Caspian energy industries. As Peimani suggests, if this policy continues, many oil and gas exporters will opt for the Iranian route without regard to existing U.S. punitive legislation. The results could well be the isolation of the U.S. in the Caspian region and a gradual exclusion of American oil companies from the region. This overview will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and policymakers involved with economic and political issues of the region.

Book Description

Political Economy of International Security.The end of the cold war between the United States and the USSR seemed to usher in a moment of opportunity for peace in 1990. Major power leaders in Washington and European capitals even began speaking about the creation of global institutions to keep the peace and establish a 'new order, ' including controls on the spread of armament. Indeed, major powers in world politics share certain interests in controlling events in various regions and preventing unwanted developments and actions. When weapons become widely available to many governments and political groups (such as terrorists), attaining such control or order (often referred to as stability) is more difficult.

Book Description

In the post-Cold War world, trade is the new arena for competition-between nations, between groups, between ethical and theoretical ideas. In this revised and updated second edition of Dilemmas of International Trade political economist Bruce Moon puts contemporary trade events--NAFTA, United States-Japan controversies, the Uruguay Round of GATT, China's Most Favored Nation status, the founding of the World Trade Organization--into historical and theoretical perspective with the British Corn Laws, the Great Depression, the Bretton Woods system, and the origins of the European Union. Economic theory, terms, and concepts are clearly explained and contextualized with those from international relations.

Throughout the book, three central dilemmas are examined: the unequal distribution of income and wealth created by international trade, the tradeoff among competing values that trade requires, and the difficult interrelationship between economic and foreign policy goals within and among trading nations. Though internationally framed, each dilemma has ramifications at a variety of levels all the way down to the individual's role in the global economy-as a consumer, as a citizen, and ultimately as a moral agent.

Customer Reviews:

A good start to IPE.......2007-01-04

For those interested in getting a handle on how international political economy works this is a very good book that will allow you to see the connections. The book is well written and covers many of the dilemmas faced with international regimes. These include NAFTA, GATT, MFN, and other organizations. It also includes an analysis of these regimes from a theoretical standpoint so the student does not get bogged down in economics. For those starting out in IPE this is a great starting point and well worth the time to read.

This is the one book of antitrust that makes a student or lawyer, experienced and unexperienced, to understand the nature of antitrust law and the political and philosophical dilemmas to which it still remains bound to. This is not a casebook nor a hornbook, it is a simple book that describes the reason why antitrust analysis will remain within the same bounds no matter the time or country in which we study or practice it.
