The provision of top level executive education is considerably more complex and faster changing than that of MBA???s, yet it has had little media focus and expert advice has been hard to find.

The Handbook carries articles and editorial contributions from some of the world??'s leading management educationalists, profiles of leading business schools and an overview of the global provision of: Open Enrolment Short or Part-time Programmes; Custom/Tailored Programmes; Executive MBA???s; Executive Masters Programmes; e-Learning programmes. It includes a directory of nearly 1000 international courses and programmes. Profiled providers include: Ashridge, Cranfield, Columbia, Darden, Dartmouth/Tuck, ESADE, Harvard, INSEAD, Instituto de Empressa, IMD, London Business School, MIT.

Description:
A restrictive formal property rights and tenure system leaves many urban poor households in Metro Manila without security of tenure. The meaning and consequences of tenure vary by tenure status and contextual characteristics of the urban poor settlements. Although security of tenure is equated with ownership and formal titles of house plots, those without tenure perceived law and order, basic services and job opportunities in the settlement to be more important elements of security. Different sub-groups of the urban poor also perceive and respond differently to tenure security issues. Innovative housing programmes had a limited impact in providing security of tenure because of their orientation towards ownership and mortgage recovery. To improve security of tenure, the study recommends utilising intermediate instruments of tenure such as land proclamations and occupancy leases. Tenure assistance programmes should also be oriented towards poverty reduction rather than simply housing or plot ownership.

Book Description
Verrier Elwin (1902-1964) was unquestionably the most colorful and influential non-official Englishman to live and work in twentieth-century India. A prolific writer, Elwin's ethnographic studies and popular works on India's tribal customs, art, myth and folklore continue to generate controversy.
Described by his contemporaries as a cross between Albert Schweitzer and Paul Gauguin, Elwin was a man of contradictions, at times taking on the role of evangelist, social worker, political activist, poet, government worker, and more. He rubbed elbows with the elite of both Britain and India, yet found himself equally at home among the impoverished and destitute. Intensely political, the Oxford-trained scholar tirelessly defended the rights of the indigenous and, despite the deep religious influences of St. Francis and Mahatma Gandhi on his early career, staunchly opposed Hindu and Christian puritans in the debate over the future of India's tribals. Although he was ordained as an Anglican priest, Elwin was married twice to tribal women and enthusiastically (and publicly) extolled the tribals' practice of free sex. Later, as prime minister Nehru's friend and advisor in independent India, his compelling defense of tribal hedonism made him at once hugely influential, extremely controversial, and the polemical focal point of heated discussions on tribal policy and economic development.
Savaging the Civilized is both biography and history, an exploration through Elwin's life of some of the great debates of the twentieth century: the future of development, cultural assimilation versus cultural difference, the political practice of postcolonial as opposed to colonial governments, and the moral practice of writers and intellectuals.
Customer Reviews:
Scholarship and Solidarity.......2000-06-02
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A fine study of the "philanthropologist" Verrier Elwin, who went from Oxford cleric to tribal scholar/activist, living among various groups of 'aboriginal' Indians and taking up their causes. Elwin was the first Englishman to gain Indian citizenship after independence, but constantly wrote against those in power (at a state or a national level) who attempted to destroy tribal ways of life. Extremely interesting discussion of the delicate negotiation of a suitable rhetoric in the overheated debates around such issues. Deftly illuminates the contradictions of nationalism and the postcolonial state, where hegemonic identity politics attempts to dominate those on the margins, all in the name of 'liberation'. Important and NECESSARY corrective to simple assumptions about what postcoloniality involves. I recommend it highly. A good read!
A Different World.......1999-12-17
This is a very well-written and sympathetic biography of a great human being who struggled through many of his human impulses yet he remained true to himself till the end, the courage to live with enormous integrity.
The author has taken pains to give us glimpses of an another world within India, and what possibly motivated (and continues to motivate)the citizens of that world. A world which even the "greats" of India's freedom movement did not care to emphatise with.
The book is all the more important as it tells us of the work of a man who respected the tribals of India, literally lived like them, and not as an outsider, and sang and danced with them.
And that at a time when tribal life style in India is either being show cased or relegated to the background by the dominant middle class culture.
The author's style is engaging, without ever being patronising, and the prose is very readable without ever being difficult. A brilliant tour de force.

Book Description
Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five main recommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects on creating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

Book Description
Here you have the entire philosophy of moneymaking, just as it was organized from the actual achievements of the most successful people known in American history. It describes WHAT TO DO, also, HOW TO DO IT! Inspired by Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill, this book provides you with a perfect system of self-analysis that will readily disclose what has been standing between you and "the big money" in the past. It describes the famous Andrew Carnegie formula of personal achievement by which he accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars for himself and made no less than a score of millionaires of men to whom he taught his secret. You will find the thirteen principles of money-making essential to every person who accumulates sufficient money to guarantee financial independence. The knowledge contained in this book never can be duplicated, at any cost, for the reason that more than half of the 500 men who supplied the information it brings have passed on. All who read, understand and apply this philosophy will be better prepared to attract and enjoy these higher estates which always have been and always will be denied to all except those who are ready for them. Be prepared when you expose yourself to the influence of this philosophy, to experience a CHANGED LIFE which may help you not only to negotiate your way through life with harmony and understanding, but also to prepare you for the accumulation of material riches in abundance.

Book Description
Fact and fiction come together in a magically imagined tale of the composer Anton Dvorák’s inspiration for “American Quartet.” Transfixed by the birdsong of the little Iowa river town where he and his family are spending the summer, Dvorák seeks out the beautiful song of the scarlet tanager. And as the tanager woos a mate and begins to build a nest, Dvorák writes the bird’s music down on everything from paper to shirtsleeves. At the end of one long summer evening, the scarlet tanager hears familiar music from the town’s schoolhouse and settles on a branch nearby to listen. Inside, Dvorák and his friends play the first rehearsal of “American Quartet,” inspired by the little songbird. Then, while one plays on, the other flies home.

The Magic of Inspiration all Around Us!.......2001-10-03
This is a magical story and a sumptuously illustrated feast for the eyes, showing kids (and us "former kids") that inspiration is everywhere around us.
It was the lush illustration that first caught my eye and led me into this wonderful, beautifully written (and true!) tale of a famous composer sparked to write one of his most famous creations by the song of a bird in the branches above him.
Our six year old nephew has been unable to put it down ever since we gave it to him. And while we love seeing him dive into it and stay entertained, the book had a wonderful side effect we never expected... he has suddenly taken heightened interest in his surroundings. When we took a walk yesterday, he was suddenly imitating the songs of seagulls. He said he wanted to try to capture the color of the afternoon sunlight when we got home and he reached for his crayons. He has always been very curious, but never to this degree! He seemed to suddenly be approaching his drawing with extra energy and purpose. It was amazing to see.
"Two Scarlet Songbirds" has somehow demystified creativity and unleashed new levels of awareness curiosity and confidence in him.
I'll confess this inspiration has rubbed off on this forty year old too. I've never been moved to write a review before...
If you don't put this piece of magic into the hands of the little ones you know, you're missing something wonderful!
The illustrations are so visually rich that even very young ones will love it (the nephew I spoke of has a one year old brother who was delighted looking at the pictures and having it read to him).
Thumbs up!!
