        Book Description

        This unique annotated bibliography guides the reader through the economic and political aspects of the tobacco industry from 1990-2004. The work provides access to quality print and electronic materials, and serves as the standard and comprehensive historical reference source for documents examining a critical side of the tobacco industry. Readers will learn about economic aspects such as packaging, products, sponsorships, military sales, and illegal trade (e.g. smuggling). Political facets include California's battle with the industry - politics, politicians, and lobbyists - and the various tobacco settlement agreements. Four appendixes provide statistical data (e.g. military and commissary tobacco sales), tobacco company profiles, selected tobacco litigation, duty-free and tax-free worldwide sales, and tobacco web sites.

          Book Description

          The Phonology of English offers a new approach to English phonology. It focuses on the prosody of the language, i.e. syllable and foot structure, and does so from an optimality-theoretic (OT) perspective. The focus is on surface distributional regularities and the results presented are based on extensive searches through various computerized lexicons. The outcome is a number of new generalizations about the phonology of English, along with confirmation of some familiar regularities. All of these empirical results are discussed in detail and presented in extensive charts with a plethora of examples. The Phonology of English also offers a unique OT analysis. This provides a detailed introduction to the intricacies of the theory as applied to a significant amount of data. A number of important theoretical proposals are developed in this model, and the analysis presents the idea that certain complex constraints and their ranking can be derived in restricted ways from more basic constraints. In addition, the book also develops the idea that syllables of English can contain from zero to three moras. It is suggested that the phonology of English only makes sense if partial morphemes of the cranberry sort are licensed more widely. The book is thus intended as a detailed presentation of novel empirical results about the sound system of English, along with important theoretical results about phonological theory.

                  This book addresses the problem of inferring the state of ocean circulation, understanding it dynamically, and forecasting it through a quantitative combination of theory and observation. It focuses on so-called inverse methods and related methods of statistical inference. The author considers both time-independent and time-dependent problems, including Gauss-Markov estimation, sequential estimators and adjoint/Pontryagin principle methods. This book is intended for use as a graduate level text for students of oceanography and related fields. It will also be of interest to working physical oceanographers.

                    Rene,
                    I am very pleased to announce that I won 1st place at National History Day!!!!!! Thank you so very much for all your help. Yes, I did read both books. That's why I was wondering if you had finally been successfull in the location. The judges were like... "OSS?" How come we don't know much about this?" I was very proud to bring your history forward to the world.... maybe some more books will be sold!! You have been just the sweetest person to show interest in me. I know I would never have gotten this far without your help. Thank you! Thank you!

                    Yours in freedom and justice....

                    5 out of 5 stars A unique stirring, informative, eye-witness account........2000-08-06

                    The Winking Fox: Twenty-Two Years In Military Intelligence is Rene Defourneaux's first hand account of his years as an officer with the U.S. Army's intelligence service. A young Frenchman who came to the United States with his mother and sister to join his father shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Defourneaux joined the service in 1943. Trained as an intelligence specialist he was sent to England to join a unit as an interrogator. There he was recruited by OSS and trained as an agent. He was parachuted alone into occupied France to organize and train French resistance groups. With the liberation of Paris he was transferred to Asia where he served as the second in command of a team parachuted into Japanese held French Indochina in support of a group assembled by Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap. After WWII he served for the next twenty years as an Army intelligence officer with duty in Europe and Asia. The Winking Fox is a stirring, eye-witness account of military intelligence activities and his own decisions and efforts that were often misunderstood or simply ignored by his superiors who lacked the background and experience to adequately utilize his talents, experience and expertise. Enhanced for the reader with 75 photographs, illustrations and documents, The Winking Fox is a superb contribution to the growing body of World War II literature and offers a unique insight into the world of Army intelligence.

                    5 out of 5 stars A fascinating, engaging eye-witness military history........2000-05-09

                    Rene Defourneaux was a young Frenchman who came to the United States shortly before the outbreak of World War II. In 1943 he joined the American army, trained as an intelligence specialist, and was sent to England to join a unit as an interrogator. There he was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and strained as an agent. He parachuted alone into occupied France to organize and train French resistance groups. After the liberation of Paris he was transferred to Asia where he served as second in command of a team parachuted into Japanese held French Indochina in support of a group assembled by Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap. Shortly after World War II he was recalled to active duty and served twenty years as an Army intelligence office with duty in Europe, Asia, and the United States, finally ending his career at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Indiana. The Winking Fox is a vivid account of some of his activities and explains why his efforts were often misunderstood or ignored by his superiors who lacked the required background and experience to adequately utilize his talents. Because of his ability to overcome adversity, hist phenomenal good luck, his associates dubbed him "The Fox". The Winking Fox is Defourneaux's true life story, told by himself, and a welcome, eye-witness, invaluable addition to the literature of both World War II and Cold War history.

                    5 out of 5 stars Facinating insights into the life of a unique man.......1999-06-24

                    Rene Defournaux is an excellent writer who, unfortunately, has not been allowed to tell more than about 25% of the story, but that 25% is absolutely riveting. His life puts the fiction of Ian Fleming and W. E. B. Griffith in the shade. This book not only adds to the historical knowledge of the era but is a good read. I couldn't put it down and read it straight through one recent weekend. I recommend it for students of history and for those readers of novels who think that fiction is more exciting than real life, they will find that adventure tales take second place to this man's life.

                          `I really liked this book a lot. It is so bitty, so easy to dip into. I found so many quotes I loved and found useful and wanted to remember' - Self and Society

                          `This book is a valuable resource for future scholars and aspiring biographers and well worth the effort of anyone really interested in the life and thought of this brilliant and tormented man' - Journal of the Behavioural Science

                          This volume collects together accounts, both professional and personal, of R D Laing by those who knew him. Some view Laing as important as Jung or Freud - a revolutionary of his time. His psychiatry work in the 1960s and 1970s was unconventional, even radical, and Laing the man evoked a strong response from those who came into contact with him. The book features conversations, letters, photographs and poetry, and contributors include Allen Ginsberg, Anthony Clare, Ralph Metzner and Van Morrison.

                                  This essay tells the story of a recent failed venture in international economic cooperation-namely, the proposed Multilateral Agreement on Investment, or MAI. The MAI would have embodied a concerted set of measures to push forward the liberalization of foreign direct investment. Negotiations to prepare it were launched in 1995 by the member governments of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD. These negotiations were brought to a close towards the end of 1998, and there is no prospect that they will be renewed. The MAI is now dead. This failure had not at all been expected. It resulted form a combination of internal doubts and hesitations on the part of OECD governments and strong outside opposition brought to bear by non-governmental organizations of various kinds. The MAI became politically non-viable. David Henderson outlines the course of these events, accounts for the breakdown of negotiations, examines the arguments brought to bear, weighs the implications of failure, and suggests the lessons to be drawn. He places this remarkable and disturbing episode in perspective.

                                        Book Description

                                        The methods by which a student becomes a speech and language therapist have developed since the 1970s and have been influenced by different models of higher and professional education. Although it is comparatively easy to change an aspect of course content, for example to increase the number of learning hours on autism, the means by which the student learns to become a competent professional in practice are more complex.

                                        This text discusses some of the exciting ways we are examining issues in professional education. It covers actual content (for example the introduction of dysphagia to the curriculum), new methods for learning (problem-based learning and information technology developments), how speech and language therapists develop competence and what is critical in the transition to becoming a qualified therapist. The longstanding placement problem is addressed by innovative work using different professional learning models, such as peer placements and school-based placements. The reader is provided with detailed practical advice about how to approach these models.

                                        The book represents some of the current work in universities and speech and language services in the UK and reveals the creativity and commitment to an expanding subject area.

                                        In Accountabililty Leadership, Gerald Kraines presents a radical and revisionist point of view in support of hierarchy and accountability as tools to boost organizational productivity.

                                        In his work consulting for major corporations throughout the country, Gerald Kraines consistently hears that 60% to 70% of any organization's potential effectiveness goes unrealized. If everyone in the organization were doing exactly what they were suppose to do and did so at full potential, imagine how much more effective companies could be!

                                        Business leaders who employ the principles put forth in Accountability Leadership stand to multiply their chance of success and market leadership. Managers and their companies who have implemented this approach report such achievements as:

                                        -Cross-functional team aligned, flexible, and adaptive--but also focused, disciplined, and accountable.

                                        -Improved, free-flowing, and value-adding employee-manager communication.

                                        -Accurate development of each employee's full potential.

                                        Author Gerald Kraines addresses a neglected area of management and lays out practical, important prescriptions for turning accountability into a linchpin of a thriving organization. Unfortunately, his solid counsel reads like an especially turgid graduate-level textbook. While all the ideas in this book are useful and many are extremely valuable, they're obscured by the heavy use of jargon (much of it self-defined, so the book often seems to be written in its own unique language). As a result, even though it is only some 220 pages, readers may give up, defeated by stretches of nearly impenetrable text. Kraines, who builds on the work of Elliott Jaques, tries to open doors with accessible case studies, but he soon lapses back into his specialized vocabulary. As a result, we believe the full text will interest mainly a very specific audience: business students and professors, theorists, consultants and high-level managers at large organizations may want to look up particular chapters for details and context. Even if you don't have the stamina for the whole tome, hang in there for the gems.

                                        for managing your organization, you won't find it here.

                                        Although the premise of the book seems attractive (abandoning "champions", self-directed teams, and other nebulous vehicles of managerial abdication), the author presents little more than another fad, that of "accountability chains" wherein the employee (the subordinate, in the newspeak of Dr Kraines) and the boss, and perhaps the bosses boss meet and agree on the "QQTR" (quality, quantity, time and resources) of everything, holding strictly to accountability, nothing more, nothing less with "no surprises" and the assumption that the entire chain will somehow hold together, weak links and all. Perfectly logical, perfectly inflexible and rather absurd, given the nature of business, economy, war, bankruptcy, layoffs and all of the other unpredictable events the company is likely to deal with.

                                        Much of the book seems to be an ad for the Levinson Institute for which the author is CEO. I found particularly disheartening a large section dealing with the selection and cultivation of future leaders based on a sort of "corporate IQ concept" in which candidates' ability to handle role complexity is quantifiable by studying 10 year charts of their progression in the company. The author's idea is that leaders are identifiable by this trajectory and fall so neatly into it that human resources professionals can simply run the numbers (using software developed by the Levinson Institute, of course) to objectively select the future top managers.

                                        The book is great for quips and throwaway lines, but startlingly weak on proven practical examples of the application of the accountability approach. The basic idea seems sound, but I suspect that if applied as the Doctor orders, the cure may be worse than the disease.

                                        Dr. Gerry Kraines of the Levinson Institute has captured in this book the concepts and examples that make his courses so useful for those faced with the challenge of leadership in today's corporations. Derived from the research and teachings of Eliot Jaques, Kraines' models of accoutability in a hierarchical management system are a compelling framework for understanding how to engage and align employees in order to drive superior performance and results. Filled with anecdotes and stories, the book provides the reader with key insights into successful development of individuals within a talent pool, and accountability within cross-functional performance improvement initiatives. Anyone who has a leadership responsibility within a corporation should read this, and if intrigued to learn more, attend one of the offerings of the Levinson Institute.

To achieve its main objectives the MDD requires the manufacturer of all products covered by the Directive to possess a fully auditable Quality Management System consisting of Quality Policies, Quality Procedures and Work Instructions, based on the ISO 9000 standard. The book is based on the sound principles of ISO 9000 and will guide to the reader, if required, to eventually set up an ISO 9000 fully compliant system.

                                              Book Description

                                              The Chayanov known to us, until now, has been largely two-dimensional - the author of a fanciful peasant utopia, and the scientist who built a theory of peasant farm organization around the concept of drudgery, the peasant's daily decision whether or not to trudge out to work in his field. A third Chayanov dimension emerges from the autobiographical material he was forced to write in the interrogation that followed his arrest, in 1930, and in the letters he wrote in the early 1920s when he lived and worked both in England and in the Germany to which thousands of Russia's greatest minds were drawn, willingly or unwillingly, after the Bolshevik revolution, the Germany whose capital became "Russian Berlin".
