Book Description

Women played a vital role in the Abeokuta indigo dyeing industry during the period 1850 to 1939. This period was particularly critical for the dyeing industry as legitimate trade and colonialism transformed the social, political, and economic context in which female dyers plied their trade. Women dyers engaged in a dynamic and fluid relationship with the colonial political economy that enabled them to navigate the many changes that accompanied colonial rule. Yet, as Byfield shows, there was a paradoxical side to this engagement. Women indigo dyers simultaneously shaped and were shaped by the uneven processes of colonialism and capitalism, with profound consequences both for women dyers and the Abeokuta indigo industry itself. As one of the few historical treatments of African craft producers, The Bluest Hands illuminates changes in the political consciousness and political activism of women dyers as they mobilized to protect their industry. Scholars interested in African history, art h As one of the few historical treatments of African craft producers, The Bluest Hands illuminates changes in the political consciousness and political activism of women dyers as they mobilized to protect their industry. Scholars interested in African history, art history, African politics, economic history, and women's studies will find much of value in this intriguing study.

Book Description

This book reviews both the environmental and organizational factors of international franchising, but focuses on the latter because environmental factors can not adequately explain why some franchisers within a particular industry internationalize. This study finds that organizational factors such as the size, age, growth rate, pricing strategies and the geographical dispersion of the firm, collectively affect the franchising firm's decision to internationalize. However, the individual variables are different in significance and magnitude for the retailing, hotel and motel, and professional business service industries.

The little, round label on this book's cover says that over 40 million people don't mind being referred to as "dummies" since they've turned to this series to ease their technological burden. Personal insults aside, Microsoft Money 98 for Dummies does exactly what it promises: it provides a nonthreatening guidebook to the Microsoft Money 98 application. In addition to no-nonsense instruction throughout the application, the book describes how to use the software most effectively for inputting data, printing checks, and other common tasks. This reference also teaches more advanced features, such as how to manage your personal portfolio (or create one if you don't have one) or use Money 98 for a small business.

Most of the instruction here repackages information that is already in the program or in its documentation. However, if you need a step-by-step guide to the program's operation or need help figuring out exactly how to integrate the program into your financial record-keeping, you'll find Microsoft Money 98 for Dummies to be accurate, helpful, and certainly not intimidating.

Retske is clearly very experienced in telecommunications technology and most aspects of the strategic market for voice services. He has an interesting mix of technical and business perspective. Althought the title is daunting, the book is well written and is a pleasure to read.
