The Africa Competitiveness Report 2000/2001 (World Economic Forum)

Book Description

The biennial Africa Competitiveness Report 2000/2001 (ACR) is a major research activity of the World Economic Forum. Oxford is pleased to make available for the first time a reasonably priced paperback edition of this invaluable resource. Africa Competitiveness Report 2000/2001 offers objective and subjective rankings of 24 African countries with an analysis of their competitive strengths and weaknesses. Each African country is given a four page profile that offers a succinct analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that affect each country's competitiveness. The countries are then ranked on numerous variables organized in the following six categories: openness, government, finance, infrastructure, labor, and institutions. Like its parent volume, the annual Global Competitiveness Report, this Report opens with essays by respected and well-known scholars who offer synthetic, evaluative treatments of African competitiveness. Africa Competitiveness Report 2000/2001 will be of great interest to students and professionals interested in finance, international management, marketing, development economics, and African studies.

Homebrewers Bible.......2006-11-07

When I first started brewing fifteen years ago, I was urged by a home brewing buddy to buy this book and read it before I even start. I did and still refer to this book from time to time. It has everything in it one will ever need to know about homebrewing. It is written in a clear, concise and logical manner. I'll never get rid of my copy of this book as long as I am still brewing my own beer.

This book is great for beginner and experienced homebrewers alike. The basics are there and a lot of the in-depth details can be skipped over until one reaches that point in their brewing career.

I urge anybody considering brewing beer to get a copy of this book and to not let go of it.

A beer brewing book for the serious home brewer.......2003-03-27

I own four beer brewing books. Three of them are inadequate, inaccurate and cater to brewers who take the short-cut of extract brewing - one would actually be better off without them. Dave Miller's book is the fourth and indispensable one. It describes in detail the equipment, ingredients, science, procedures and recipes. Although Dave Miller prefers, as he should, to take the brewer down the path of mashing, the extract brewer can by-pass these steps and still follow a sub-set of the book's directions and recipes. There is enough theory which can either be read in detail or in conclusion to make the home brewer understand what he/she is doing or should have been doing. The recipes are more than enough for a life-time of brewing and cater to both ale and lager lovers, English ale addicts or German beer buffs. And if 55 recipes are not enough, then the book provides base information and calculation tables for recipe development without having to shoot in the dark.
There may be other good brewing books available, but if you were to have only one beer brewing book, this could be the one. It takes you from being a mere amateur to being a real microbrewer.

Are there any other books about beermaking ?.......1999-06-13

Today I am brewing beer, because eight yaers ago I read Dave's book. This tome got me started quickly and successfully into the fine art of brewing. In reading only the first two chapters, I had begun my first batch, and I have refered to it ever since. I have read many books on brewing, but I always rely on this one when I need to go back to the basics or cure a problem. Whether you have brewed a thousand batches, or are contemplating your first, I highly recommend this book.

First-rate, in-depth study of brewing.......1998-09-17

~Miller has written a book that covers ALOT of info about brewing and the science thereof. For anyone weaned on Pappazian's books, this is the next logical step. Every aspect of the science of brewing beer is covered.~ sometimes funny style, but that doesn't detract from the excellent layout of this book, which leads from simple partial-mash brewing to all-grain mashing via a logical and step-by step progression of ideas and metho

Book Description

Largely exempt from regulation and shrouded in secrecy, "hedge funds" are one of the most controversial institutions in modern finance. Presenting a balanced view of the subject. De Brouwer explains their workings using case study material from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, from 1997 to 1998. He also considers the future of hedge funds, their role for institutional investors, as well as policy proposals to limit their destabilizing effects.

Download Description

Hedge funds are among the most innovative and controversial of financial market institutions. Largely exempt from regulation and shrouded in secrecy, they are credited as having improved efficiency and add liquidity to financial markets, but also having severely destabilised markets following the the Asian Financial Crisis and the near collapse of Long-Term Capital Management. De Brouwer presents a nuanced and balanced account to what is becoming an increasingly politicised and hysterical discussion of the subject. Part I explains the workings of hedge funds. Part II focuses on the activities of macro hedge funds and proprietary trading desks in East Asia in 1997 and 1998, with case study material from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. Part III of the book looks at the future of hedge funds, their role for institutional investors, and policy proposals to limit their destabilising effects.

Book Description

Business ethics, as an academic discipline directed at influencing business itself, has now developed into a sophisticated interdisciplinary enquiry, with its own journals, societies, and specialist practitioners. The contributors reflect on the state of, and prospects for, the field of business ethics. While the scope of each chapter is intentionally broad, the particular perspectives adopted, themes addressed, by the various authors display considerable variety. The order of the chapters reflects a movement from the armchair to the field, with insights from a number of perspectives including philosophy, anthropology, management, history, social science methodology, and education. Each contributor is a recognised expert in their own particular area. The book is essential reading for all interested in researching the development of business ethics. It will also be of benefit to students and business people interested in the development of business ethics as a field of study.

Book Description

Given the recent cuts in government budgets, issues such as taxation, welfare, health care, social security, and environmental protection are drawing increasing attention to the basic problems of how to divide resources equitably among all members of society. Social Issues provides a framework for discussing and resolving these current, pressing social issues. As each issue is considered, the book clarifies the moral, political, and economic dimensions that must be weighed as current programs and reform proposals are evaluated. Throughout, this book provides a forum for open discussion in which the moral values and political and economic viewpoints from different viewpoints are entertained, discussed, and evaluated.

Book Description

The shocking assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 propelled the memory of the slain president to a revered status. Naturally enough, the public came to terms with the tragedy in Dallas by investing the chief executive's life with Lincolnesque significance--a moral importance transcending politics.

Traditionally, historians have accentuated either the positive "Camelot" or the negative "counter-Camelot" view of JFK. Measured appreciation became adulation and criticism evolved into vilification. Bringing together leading Kennedy scholars with a group of younger historians, Mark J. White demonstrates that both versions of JFK are unsatisfying caricatures, lacking subtlety and nuance. Using recently declassified documents, Kennedy examines many of the key issues surrounding the president's time in the White House: Vietnam, the Cuban missile crisis, the Berlin issue, the space race, relations with de Gaulle, and trade policy. Rejecting the idolatry and bitterness evident in so many previous works on JFK, the volume presents a compelling reappraisal of the Kennedy presidency.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Balanced Account.......1999-11-03

This is a very good book which tries to give an objective and balanced assessment of the Kennedy Presidency free from 'Camelot' or 'sleaze' biases.

It succeeds.

I thoroughly recommend it.
