Global Futures: Shaping Globalization

Book Description

This book rejects a fatalistic stance in the face of the problems that accelerating globalization is throwing up. The contributors argue that humanity must seek to shape globalization. In a sequence of tightly argued essays, they suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies, and institutional reforms that we ought to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The exciting range of topics discussed include global governance and democratization; international finance and reform of the world economy; Third World development; the environment; the position of women; poverty and social exclusion; technology and culture; and the future shape of urban growth.

Book Description

Speakers at the symposium discussed job opportunities for women in the fields of science and engineering and difficulties faced by women in these professions.

A book about “work simplification in your home,” Coming Clean offers a no-nonsense plan of attack for weekly, monthly, and seasonal chores. As a commonsense approach to the business of running a clean, organized home, Schar Ward champions simple tools and routines. She discusses supplies, equipment, and planning, and focuses on specific areas in the home (including dreaded children’s rooms), problem surfaces, and thinking clean when it comes to remodeling.

Reads Well, but working out is something else.......2006-01-07

This little book does have some really helpful "little secrets" but I seem to have a problem implementing them. I have mixed feelings on this work, but each individual must make their own determination.

Wish there were more books like this!!!!.......2005-10-25

I bought this book to get a few "new" tips on this age old problem. I read this book from cover to cover, unable to put it down. Am I a neat freak?? No way, but each page is so chock full of easy, useful tips and information I couldn't stop reading. They've been a welcome addition to my shower gifts, and I"ve purchased several for Christmas gifts! I wish I would have read this book before we redid our kitchen ---great info on "how to" clean the newer surfaces on the market today. Great no nonsense fact-filled book that is fun and easy to read!

Disappointing.......2005-03-09

I found this book disappointing, especially after reading the description and the glowing reviews posted here. I thought I would get a lot more tips on how to clean quickly and efficiently, but I only found one tip I felt would make a difference. I also thought the book would give a better plan of attack for cleaning the whole house, but the plan was scattered throughout the book. I would have liked to have seen that plan presented in a single place (perhaps as a review at the end of the book.)

I also felt this book just scratched the surface of the hows and whys of cleaning and organizing. I think people would be much better served buying two separate books that go more in depth into both topics. I don't know which book to suggest for cleaning, but for organizing "Organizing From The Inside Out" by Julie Morganstern is the best.

FINALLY a Unique Book!.......2004-03-29

I am actually buying 3 copies of this book as Birthday gifts to put in a giftbasket...for my son out on his own now...yeaaah..a guy friend who calls me with questions about cleaning, and a 24 yr girI who loves to clean! I started spring cleaning and donated all my Queen and other cleaning books to charity. This is an exciting and fun book to help you clean with a smile on your face! I Love it!

SAVED MY LIFE AND MYMARRIAGE.......2003-04-14

EXCELLENT ADVICE! HELPED ME TO BECOME ORGANIZED AND MORE EFFICIENT WITH MY CLEANING TIME.

Great book with a Christian Perspective.......2006-10-17

First off, I should state that this book is really written from a Christian's perspective. I would not have known that by reading the back cover or anything written about the book. She included bible verses of you having faith in God's plan for you throughout the book as a way for uplifting messages. I think these are helpful when reading the book.

In addition to the uplifting bible passages she also discusses many aspects of being suddenly unemployed whether by choice or not. In addition to covering what may be going on emotionally she begins to go over resume basics, cover letter basics, and how to search for a job. She does an excellent job of covering these subjects from someone who has had to search for a job.

I would recommend reading this book if you find yourself in this type of situation. This will not be the only book that you will want to read, but it certainly will be one that you will want to gather some tips from. The book is written in an easy to read style that can be absorbed quite well.

Book Description

Western Pipe and Steel was one of many shipyards called upon to "build ships for victory" in the early days of World War II. But unlike other companies that were thrown together to meet the national emergency, Western Pipe and Steel had the experience and know-how to get the job done from the very beginning, the company had built ships during The Great War. With seasoned yard workers, shipbuilding prowess and decades of steelworking success, it knew exactly how to put ships together.

Steel Ships and Iron Pipe is the story of one of San Francisco Bay's pre-eminent shipyards, written in scholarly yet intriguing detail.

Fantastic book.......2003-07-01

Just finished reading it again. Extremely entertaining - outrageous and creative. Great inspiration, and indirectly, guidance. Most marketing books are dull and inane but this one is a great read.

Book Description

Officer begins this book with a historical perspective of the monetary standards of the United States and Britain. He then develops data on exchange rates, mint parity and gold points, with which he investigates three important features of Anglo-American monetary history. First, the integration of the American foreign-exchange market over time. Second, it is proved that gold-point arbitrage is markedly more efficient than either interest arbitrage or forward speculation. Third, regime efficiency is explored from standpoints of both private agents and policy-makers; the 1925–1931 gold standard, though less durable than the pre-war standard, is nevertheless shown to be surprisingly stable. The book will serve as a Dollar-Sterling handbook for those interested in this important aspect of international monetary history.
