            Book Description

            Historical Perspectives on Contemporary East Asiaaddresses provocative themes concerning the experience of particular nations and of East Asia as a whole. It explores the turbulent process of integrating Asian societies and political systems into a global order dominated by the West over the past two centuries. The authors show that important changes were already underway before the western advance, which had their own internal logic and staying power. They describe how people in China, Japan, and Korea redefined and defended indigenous "traditions" even as they disagreed over what these traditions were and how to transform them. They make it clear that nationalism was a powerful motivating force in the modern development of these countries, but they stress that a wide variety of nationalisms emerged and collided in the dramatic history of modern Asia.

                  This fifth edition of the best-selling Marketing Book has been extensively updated to reflect changes and trends in current marketing thinking and practice.

                  Taking into account the emergence of new subjects and new authorities, Michael Baker has overhauled the contents and contributor lists of the previous edition to ensure this volume addresses all the necessary themes for the modern marketer.

                  * E-marketing
                  * Integrated marketing communications
                  * measurement of marketing effectiveness
                  * Postmodern and retro-marketing
                  * Relationship marketing
                  * Retailing

                  Like its predecessors, the 'Marketing Book 5th edition' is bursting with salient articles from some of the best known academics in the field. It amounts to an all-embracing one-volume companion to modern marketing thought, ideal for all students of marketing.

                  5 out of 5 stars gives the best overview currently available on marketing.......1999-08-06

                  The Marketing Book is now one of the leading texts and references used by students all over the world. Covering key contemporary issues in marketing, it gives the best overview currently available on marketing.

                  Edited by Michael Baker, Professor of Marketing at the University of Strathclyde Business School and the UK's most important and influential marketing thinker, this rigorously revised, updated and substantially extended fourth edition now contains articles on Marketing and the Internet, Social Marketing, Marketing of Services and other issues. All the original chapters have been reworked and many of them have been completely rewritten to reflect changes and trends in current marketing thinking and practice.

                  The book's 30 chapters highlight the quality, breadth and depth of the ideas from the best minds in modern marketing education. Professor Michael Baker, and with specially commissioned contributions from top UK marketing educators and writers, sets out the scope and nature of contemporary marketing, its managerial application and its contribution to corporate success. Its list of contributors constitutes a virtual who's who of UK marketing experts today.

                  The Marketing Book is an indispensable reference work and textbook for students and practitioners, all over the world. This textbook is essential reading for those students taking the Chartered Institute of Marketing's Certificate and Diploma examinations, as well as business studies, management, marketing, MBA, DMS, and BTEC Higher National courses. Being an invaluable resource to practitioners-especially those taking executive courses in marketing or pursuing Continuous Professional Development-it deserves to be on the desk of anyone who aspires to be a marketing manager, and certainly on the bookshelves of anyone who is practising a significant marketing role in their organisation.

                  The author of over 30 books on marketing, Professor Baker is also President of the Academy of Marketing, Dean of the Chartered Institute of Marketing's Academic Senate and founding Editor of the Journal of Marketing Management.

                          5 out of 5 stars Profit from Time.......2000-04-10

                          Time is the currency of the New Economy because time earned has "money value." Make time pay for you! The organizations that succeed in managing time effectively will reap its rewards: time earned to grow the business, create new products, or enable your network of people to be at their best.

                          In Mark Ellwood's A Complete Waste of Time, the secrets of time management unfold before us with renewed verve. Tips and techniques are intermingled with time trivia and poetic inspiration. This book is for the organization who's employees just can't manage to keep up and don't know where to turn to, or for those of us who need a refresher.

                          Within the first few pages Mark's delightful tales begin to entertain and amuse. A Complete Waste can be read in one sitting or a chapter at a time. You'll find yourself picking up a pen and jotting down some ideas on time earned from meetings, delegation, networking, and that all too time consuming obligation, travel. A Complete Waste is the source for knowledge when it comes to profit from time.

                          5 out of 5 stars Getting educated while laughing !.......2000-01-30

                          If laughter is the best medicine, then learning the lessons in "A Complete Waste of Time" will be absolutely pain-free.

                          As a Professional Organizer, this was the first book I read on the subject of time management. Mark Ellwood's humourous take on the subject made it very easy to learn and understand his techniques and I gained a great deal of insight into the field of time management. This was not only personally beneficial, but it has also helped a great deal in assisting my clients with their time-management struggles.

                          Thanks Mark !

                              I haven't had the opportunity to begin any projects from this particular book, however, having looked through and had the opportunity to read the patterns and see the accompanying photos, I am sure I have not made a bad move purchasing this book. Excellent.

                              4 out of 5 stars Lots of big projects........2003-08-30

                              Like all the Ondori crochet books, the pictures are beautiful and the directions are very easy to understand. This book was published in 1980 and that shows in the pictures, but if you are looking for bedspreads, curtains, and tablecloths, there are nice patterns. I was looking for smaller projects and didn't find this book had anything special to offer in that area.

                              5 out of 5 stars Beautiful patterns.......2001-08-30

                              Ondori graphs are so well done and the patterns are so easy to follow. Fabulous items for your home or to give as gifts.

                              The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, the author of a largely un-translated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, coming to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments. The Enemy is a comprehensive reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmitt's major works, presented in an arresting narrative form, which reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining timelines of civil and world wars.

                              5 out of 5 stars Carl Schmitt: The Political As Friend-Foe Distinction........2003-03-02

                              _The Enemy_ provides an excellent and thorough introducion to the life and thinking of the German political philosopher and jurist Carl Schmitt. The book traces the developments in his thoughts from his earliest days as a Catholic schoolchild in the Rhineland to his eventual professorship in constitutional law and his involvement with the Third Reich regime and the subsequent developments in his thought after the Third Reich had fallen. Schmitt is normally considered to belong with the "conservative revolutionaries" such as Ernst Junger, Oswald Spengler, Martin Heidegger, and several other important figures in the Weimar republic prior to the advent of the Third Reich. These thinkers were important for their political and philosophical thought which was firmly opposed to liberalism, bolshevism, and modernism. An important aspect behind Schmitt's thought was his Catholicism (however tenuous that link may have become for him at various moments in his life). Certain interpreters of Schmitt have made the claim that Schmitt's writings can be understood on the basis of a "fundamentalist" Catholicism , in which the crisis in the modern world is perceived in apocalyptic terms involving an encounter between Christ and Antichrist. Schmitt became a jurist and a professor of constitutional law and a great deal of his writing is concerned with the application of his political principles to the legal status of the constitution. Schmitt's thinking is heavily influenced by the German Romantics such as Schlegel and Hegelianism, but also has a Latin character influenced by such Catholic counter-revolutionaries as Joseph de Maistre and Donoso Cortes, as well as the writings of Thomas Hobbes in his _Leviathan_, and the writings of Machiavelli. Perhaps Schmitt is most famous for his understanding of the political in terms of the "friend-enemy" distinction. He outlined this distinction in his famous work _The Concept of the Political_. Schmitt came to occupy a central place in the Third Reich regime and was often regarded as the "Crown Jurist" of that regime. The particular problematic of Schmitt's involvement with the Third Reich and his adherence to certain anti-Semitic beliefs is firmly covered in this book. After the defeat of the Third Reich, Schmitt would come to partially renounce some of his earlier alignment with it; however, he would also come to regard the process of denazification which involved him spending several years in captivity as equally abominable. Much of Schmitt's work focused on a particular interpretation of Thomas Hobbes in hiw book _Leviathan_. Schmitt may have believed in an apocalyptic myth involving an obscure quasi-Messianic figure, the Katechon (see the discussion in the book; but also see Paul's epistle to the Thessalonians where it is explained that the Katechon refers to a "restrainer" who is to come). The book also discusses Schmitt's relationship with the new international order subsequent to the Nazi regime. The importance of Schmitt's thought here in regards to our modern era which is closely coming to approximate a New World Order and a system of international law based in the United Nations (i.e. the League of Nations in Schmitt's time) cannot be overestimated. Schmitt's later works include a book entitled _Land and Sea_ which outlines the differences between land and sea powers and a work entitled _The Law of the Earth_. The relationship between a landlocked continental German power and a seafaring English power rooted in the Calvinistic religion plays an important role in Schmitt's writings. Schmitt's later days were spent in relative obscurity as a figure who was considered anathema by the new intellectuals; however, he continued to write and work and gather a group of students around him. Carl Schmitt is a fascinating figure who encountered the dark side and whose thinking still poses interesting questions for the modern world. His distinction between friend and enemy continues to occupy an important place in the role of political theory and although some on the Left have attempted to usurp his ideas, his ideas remain firmly grounded in the tradition of right wing intellectuals of the conservative revolution. This book provides an excellent introduction and outline of his life and thought and is to be highly recommended to all those interested in this figure.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Better than you might think.......2003-10-22

                                  This homemade recounting of a taxi driver's life is fun, easy to read, and better than it ought to be. That is, it completely amateur in feel and presentation. But it is amateur in the best sense of the word--it is written out of love for telling a story and expressing the joy the author feels has been a part of his life as a New York taxi driver. Amateur comes from the Latin amare, to love, as the author surely knows. Jerry Tierstein's love of a life not filled with fame and fortune, but with long hours of routine and demanding work, is uplifting in itself. His joy in his own good fortune in meeting Rudi Guiliani is balanced by a near-death experience he had picking up some hookers in the wee-small hours of the morning--as two men they had robbed came after them--and their taxi driver as well. Jerry sold me his book on a short cross-town trip from West 72nd Street to East 93rd. It won't take you much longer to get into the book--and the ride will be a delight.

                                  I enjoyed reading The Meter's Running by Jerry Tierstein.
                                  It was a very well written as it showed the humorous side of life as well as everyday ocurrances of a poor working man trying to make a living as a Taxi driver.
                                  The Author, Jerry Tierstein brings out the public in a view only a person that works on a daily basis with the public can truly understand.
                                  It is a well written as the author pulls you into his life and he introduces his shinning personality with every adventure that he endures.
                                  This is a page turner and a must read.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent book, well worth reading.......1998-02-19

                                  This book is interesting and well-written. It answers one of the most difficult questions facing managers today - How does one manage creativity? I first saw this book at the British Council Library in Bangalore, India, and have been trying to buy it ever since. Thank you, Amazon Books, for helping me locate it.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Provides great structure for creativity and problem solving........1997-07-15

                                  The authors provide a wonderful context in which to understand both creating and problem solving in business. The book provides an excellent review of some of the best cutting edge creativity technologies, as well as many useful new tools that I have used sucessfully in my own creativity practice. I highly recommend the book to newcomers to the growing field of business innovation and creativity, as well as seasoned veterans. I'm imagining the authors' British roots are partially responsible for their fresh slant that adds to the body of knowledge provided by American authors. A great read, lots of fun, and packed with helpful tips and resources
