Book Description

This new title in the Business Laws of the Middle East Series is a completely revised and updated edition of the former Business Laws of the United Arab Emirates, which was first published in 1980. The work has been totally reorganised and restructured to remove all obsolete legislation and to update the existing laws. As a result of this, the materials contained in the four previous volumes have been reduced to fit into two new, well-structured and easy-to-use binders. This new edition provides an introduction to the legal structure of the United Arab Emirates with a special emphasis on the Federal United Arab Emirates legislation. The Introduction is written by Bryan Cave LLP, a leading international law firm with extensive local knowledge and experience of UAE business laws and practices. It contains expert English translations of the key business laws considered to be of primary importance to every potential investor in the United Arab Emirates, including Civil and Commercial Procedures Law, Commercial Law, Corporate Law, Public Contracts Law, Banking and Finance Law, Labour and Immigration Law, Maritime Law, Insurance Law, Intellectual Property Law, The Penal Code, and Arbitration Law. This new fully-indexed looseleaf work will be kept completely up-to-date by annual Supplements. It will provide a comprehensive and authoritative source of reference, which will be of immense practical value for lawyers, business executives and legal advisors dealing with or in the United Arab Emirates. It will also be of prime interest to academics and university libraries concerned with Middle East and business studies.

12 Secrets for Successful Hispanic Women.......2004-05-24

Sometimes you come across a book that really
says great stuff...Then sometimes you come
across a book that changes your life. I
enjoyed the "to-the-point" and inspirational
writing this book provided me.

12 Secrets for Successful Hispanic Women.......2004-05-24

This book is simple, to the point and helped
me realize my full potential. I have a
new outlook on my goals and what I want
to accomplish! Thank you!

This is just a very unimpressive book.......2004-05-12

By listening to the author you can actually tell that this woman got her information not from experience but by reading other self help business books. I went with my wife to go see her speak, and was stunned by her lack of expertise. She hasn't done anything successful in her life. Her business is a pyramid scheme with credit cards what a joke. I don't think that anyone actually bought her book.

Book Description

This book covers the design and improvement of single and multistage production systems. Following the standard production planning and scheduling decision hierarchy, it describes the inputs and outputs at each level of the decision hierarchy and one or more decision approaches. The assumptions leading to each approach are included along with the details of the model and the corresponding solution. Modern system concepts and the engineering methods for creating lean production systems are included.

Customer Reviews:

very good book for Production.......2005-09-16

This book is very good, Askin defines very well what Lean Production Systems are (page 352 and on), don't believe the above reviews, they didn't read the book in detail. Of course the book has a broad range of things, because is oriented for Industrial Engineers. This book has all that other books in operations research or books in production and operations don't have. The scheduling chapter is impressive, and there's a lot more. God for students, professors but great for professionals.

Lean Production??.......2005-08-30

This is more a text book with a general approach. The focus is not on Lean.
The formulas in the book are given with very little explanation; I would hate to be in a class where this book is used as the basis for instruction.
I hoped to find a lot of detailed information about Lean production systems but the book has too much other topics to be valuable as an aid to design and/or implement Lean production systems.
The title is misleading and the practioner looking for either theoretical or practical information about Lean production systems will be dissapointed in what he finds in the book.

A Handbook of Material Management in Lean Production.......2002-11-30

This book contains a lot of formulas and its origin. Many examples are used to explain the formula in detail. Besides that, there are many study cases in the end of every chapter. This explanation on the formula, its origin, examples and study cases is the streght of this book.

The weakness of this book is that it discusses a broad topics, From inventory to forecast, from supply chain to Just In time.
This broad topic makes this book has no focus at all.

Furthermore, this book doesn't define the definition of "Lean Production Systems" well. After I read this book, the question of 'What is a Lean Production Systems' is still not clear.

The other weakness is that this book emphasises on the material flow very much. Shortly this book is rather logistic management (in internal company) than manufacturing / process management.

Book Description

Every page in a scrapbook or picture on a card looks more beautiful when it's set off by a frame and embellished with a fabulous border-and these are among the most exquisite ever collected. The frames come in every shape, size, and style: circular and rectangular, with a few simple curlicues and with elaborate knotwork, with hearts and flowers and with cherubs and children. The borders, too, offer plenty of options to fit any project, from classic columns to panels filled with birds and flowering vines. There's a gallery of ideas, too!

Book Description

Born in 1951 to a distinguished Arab-American family, Lisa Najeeb Halaby became the fourth wife of King Hussein at age 27. With her husband being not only Jordan's monarch but the spiritual leader of all Muslims, Lisa was unsure what her role would be. This moving memoir provides a timely look at one woman's story against a backdrop of 30 turbulent years: the displacement of over 1 million Palestinians by the creation of Israel, King Hussein's frustrated efforts for peace, and the effect of Saddam Hussein and the Gulf War on Jordan and the royal family. Queen Noor offers intimate new glimpses of King Hussein, Saddam Hussein, Queen Elizabeth, Arafat, and many other world leaders.

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous read!!.......2007-10-17

This book is not only a story of Queen Noor's life as Queen and the challenges that came with it, but it is a wonderful introduction to the history of the conflict in the Middle East. There are things our media does not show, or accurately represent, and she provides a window into such events and the history of what led up to them. It is a wonderfully written book, and I appreciate her effort in helping the Western world understand more of the conflict and frustrations that the Islamic community faces. I also appreciate her effort in bringing awareness of the Arabic culture in a time where many aspects of Islamic life have been misconstrued.

Three "stories" in one. .......2007-09-30

This is the autobiogarphy of Queen Noor, the third wife of the late King Hussein of Jordan. Queen Noor, was born and raised in America. Just prior to her marriage to King Hussein, she converted to Islam. Her story is, of necessity, personal, political, and religous all at the same time.

The personal story, especially, the early years, is fascinating. There is no question that her love for her husband is genuine and deep. However, the personal story gets tedious is place. (We visited this place and met so and so, and it rained etc.)

The political story may enlighten some readers to the "Palestian" cause and certainly there is some truth to her point. Yet, the "Palestinian cause" is accepted uncritically. For instance, she recounts an incident where her husband forgave Yasser Arafat and the palestinians for causing a civil war in Jordan. One wonders how the court of history would have changed if her husband had not been so forgiving. She also informs the reader how very much, in the Muslim world, Sadat was despised for signing a peace treaty with Israel. Again one wonders how history would have changed if Hussein had followed Sadat's lead.

There is also much in the book about her role in the ecomonic development in Jordan. In the afterword, she makes a point how such development promotes peace. This is very much true, but the point should have been clearly stated in the body of the book.

The religious story shows that her conversion to Islam is real. Her pilmigrage after her husband's death was clearly a moving experience. Yet, she does not explain why in Islam, except in a few special mosques, men and women worship seperately. Why can't the husband and wife listen to an Iman's sermon together? She does not provide any justification for the "seperate but equal"
religious practice in Islam.

Overall impression: If it wasn't for the repetitive royal travels, I would give this book five stars. There are unanswered questions, but this does not distract from the book's importance.

Remarkable woman.......2007-08-07

What a remarkable woman, wonderful book that gave me a better understanding of the Middle East.....High recommend read.

Leap of Faith--Queen Noor.......2007-08-02

Interesting read. Well written. However, I would like to have read more on her personal life; children, home life, etc., than on political happenings. Too much focus on politics, for my liking.

Compelling story.......2007-06-21

Lot's of books teach you things. If read with an open mind, this book changes your perspective toward the muslim world. The book is a very easy and enjoyable read, especially for someone in the same age group as Queen Noor as she relates her experiences during these times that we have all lived through. She shows how she used the principles of peace and love, which we marched for in the 60's and early 70's, in her journey as the Queen of Jordan. Her story is inspiring and enlightening. She says her husband, the King, spent his life dedicated to those principles. For the past six years in this country we have gone through a period of demonization by the administration, and often by the media as well, of any non-christians, especially muslims. This book shows that moderate muslims are just like moderate christians and believe that their relegion teaches to relate to others with compassion and love. Just like in Christianity, the real "silent majority" is not the fundamentalists.
