          Book Description

          "Paul Strand is universally acclaimed as a master. His pictures rank highly among the most often reproduced masterworks of photography and have an honored place within the canon of modern art as such. People viewing his work for the first or the hundredth time find themselves captivated within a visual domain of extraordinary immediacy and freshness, not just in textures, shapes, and forms but in subtleties which make for resonating coherences within and among images."--Alan Trachtenberg, author of Reading American Photographs: Images as History, Mathew Brady to Walker Evans, excerpted from the Introduction

          "In Strand's pictures, we find the work of a quiet but intense man who transmuted the real into the ideal, "the ordinary in man and the transitory in nature converted into eternal symbols.""--Estelle Jussim, author of Slave to Beauty: The Eccentric Life and Controversial Career of F. Holland Day, Photographer, Publisher, Aesthete, from her essay

          A visionary artist of the twentieth century, Paul Strand was much more than a gifted imagemaker. Throughout his long and productive life which ended in 1976, Strand was a leading advocate of photography as a fine art and a political activist deeply committed to social issues. He was an innovative filmmaker and a pioneer in developing photography books that combined images with words.

          To celebrate the centenary of Paul Strand's birth, an international team of scholars and writers, many of whom knew or worked with Strand, has produced a volume of essays and meditations on his life and work. Alan Trachtenberg, professor of English and American Studies at Yale University, provides the insightful introduction. Gloria Naylor, Russell Banks, Jim Harrison, Carolyn Forché, Jerome Liebling, Charles Simic, and Reynolds Price respond, each uniquely, to individual photographs. Naomi Rosenblum, Jan-Christopher Horak, Robert Adams, Milton Brown, Richard Benson, Estelle Jussim, and Anne Tucker, among others, offer lively scholarship and comment. Jussim discusses Strand's aesthetic ideals; Horak contributes an evaluation of the motion picture Manhatta, produced in 1921 by Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler; Benson writes from personal experience about Strand's darkroom practices; and internationally-regarded photographic-historian Naomi Rosenblum offers a fresh account of Strand's early development.

          Drawing on letters, journals, interviews, and previously unpublished writings, these thoughtful essays span Strands lifetime, from his remarkable debut in Alfred Stieglitz's periodical, Camera Work, to his travels in the American Southwest and in Mexico, and his final years in Europe and Africa. These essays are an unsurpassed chronicle of artistic genius and a vital addition to the library of every serious photographer, Strand aficionado, cultural historian, and print collector.

          Published in the 100th anniversary of Paul Strand's birth.

            Book Description

            What Makes Business Initiatives Regarding the Environment Succeed or Fail? With this book you'll gain the necessary skills to develop an effective corporate environmental strategy. It is organized around three classic global needs shared by both business strategists and environmental leaders: achieving compliance, recognizing business opportunity, and answering public expectations. The cases in this text are designed to reach both experienced managers and newcomers, through a compelling conceptual narrative that connects basic business needs with mounting environmental and energy choices. "Environmental compliance is no longer the target but the floor from which economic value can be created. Recognizing economic opportunities and getting the affected public to understand the greater benefits are why we hired the AHC Group and its Rensselaer team of researchers in the first place. This books brings these critical components in focus with practical examples, insightful discussions and helpful resources to assist any company's management in developing successful environmental business strategy. Its appeal to newcomers resides in its readability and effective prose." - Steven P. Rowe, Assistant General Counsel and lead environmental manager at Holnam, Inc.

            2 out of 5 stars Ego got in the way of a good book.......1999-10-19

            The basic premise of the book is good, but the author tends to rely too much on recycled material , such as contributions from his magazine, without taking the time to realy expand upon the topics. The author should either expand his cases, or have his contributors use fresh material - recycling is for material goods, not stories.

            3 out of 5 stars Is this a book or an infomertial for RPI and the magazine?.......1999-10-16

            Having read several books by the author, I was somewhat disappointed on several planes: his use of old material from his magazine and lack of expanded coverage from his many contributors. Case studies need room to breathe, brevity is not necessarily helpful in this case. The authors could also go beyond their stable of previous writers and RPI alumni for assistance.

            Is this a discussion about solving environmental problems or is this book an infomertial for Corporate Environmental Strategy and RPI?

            3 out of 5 stars Good material, less good bridging of topics.......1999-10-14

            While this book has merit for what it presents, it jumps around too much, and leaves this reader with more questions than the book can actually answer.

            5 out of 5 stars A must have book for Environmental Leaders of the Future.......1999-01-12

            Piasecki's book on Environmental Mgmt and Business Strategy fills an important gap that other environmental books don't address..LEADERSHIP. His book draws upon the experiences and struggles of those who have gone before us in moving their company beyond compliance. The book is filled with relevant case histories, executive spotlights, questions for further thought, and suggestions for further reading. This book is a must have for those looking to develop the business model that includes EH&S.

                "The Paul Revere of globalization's woes."-The New York Times, on the author

                As the United States makes much of its desire to globalize democracy, in 10 Reasons to Abolish the IMF & World Bank's updated 2nd edition, Dr. Danaher finds democracy ill-equipped for globalization. Suggesting a radical regime change, Danaher powerfully shows the fundamentally undemocratic nature of the WTO and World Bank and its unelected global government. This regime, he argues, is beyond reform.

                Global Exchange cofounder Kevin Danaher is among globalization's leading critics. His articles appear in a variety of magazines and top daily papers.

                2 out of 5 stars Bad for the U. S. .......2007-09-25

                Whatever the content of the book, the title agrees with my assertions in my book In the Presence of Our Enemies in which I cover the origins of the Unholy Three, basically created by Harry Dexter White, Soviet agent planted in the U.S. Treasury and John Maynard Keynes, neither of whom had the welfare of the U.S. on their minds at Bretton Woods. Their only differences appeared to be how much gold to leech out of the U.S. to start the agency, $5 billion or $25 billion! These agencies operate without restriction, the employees ride high wide and handsome, travelling at whim in a manner no U.S. employee would be free to do, while the record shows 70% of the projects undertaken end in failure. (ASIN Ellen McClay, In the Presence of Our Enemies)

                5 out of 5 stars Compact and straightforward.......2007-02-21

                This booklet says more in 100 pages than Jagdish Bhagwati's in Defense of Globalization says in 300. Even though I don't agree with what K.MacDonald said here that it is a condemnation of free trade and capitalism, the author does have a very left-wing view of the world and sometimes makes false connections between open trade and globalization...

                But as a globalization noob's short guide to IMF and World bank and as a source to discuss about these subjects with your friends/whatever, this book is quite invaluable. It's concise and clear about the underlying motives of the institutions and people in charge of them, and, most of the time, presents information which seems to be correct.

                4 out of 5 stars no title.......2006-02-04

                I basically agree with most everything propounded in this little book - I just am not sure it's so simple. Jobs are created by demand.

                1 out of 5 stars Completely wrong on all 10 reasons.......2004-09-17

                Anyone who is looking for an economic analysis on why the IMF and World Bank (something that should be done rigorously) should be abolished should look elsewhere. This book is not a condemnation of the IMF and the World Bank, but a condemnation of free trade and capitalism.

                He talks about how markets create inequality. My response to that is: so what? People by their very nature are unequal, with skills that are in various states of demand. It is not surprising that an electrical engineer is more valuable, thus gets paid more than and cashier and that a CEO gets paid more than an electrical engineer. The more scarce and in demand (i.e., valuable) your skills are the more you will get paid. Another example is the following: Suppose John makes $20/hr and Jason makes $15/hr, then at the end of the year John gets a 10% raise and Jason get a 5% raise. The inequality between the two have increased, BUT they are both better off because they each make more. Even more importantly, though, is that countries that evolved using markets (the West) have far less economic inequality than countries using so called "planned" economies, i.e., markets do NOT increase inequality, but centrally planned economies do.

                He then talks about how businesses will deplete any and all resources in the name of the bottom line, using the logging industry as an example. No industry is so foolish and short sighted. The logging industry knows that if it cuts down every last tree, then it will no longer be in business, so they take steps to avoid this. They modify trees to grow faster, plant a tree for every one they cut down, and rotate through different patches, coming back to the same patch of trees when they are matured, thus they are able to produce on a finite amount of space, without having to expand. The faster a tree can grow the less space is needed to get the same amount of logging. In fact, forest coverage over the world has increased over that last 80 years. Not only is this push for efficiency (doing more with less) true for the logging industry, but is true for all industries. And as technology improves, so does the environment.

                Outrageously, he says that the average worker in developed countries are worse off due to free trade. Any check on the facts shows this to be clearly false. Todays average citizen in any developed nation has so much wealth as to be incomprehensible to anyone who lived 100 years ago. In fact, we live in a time of such abundance that even those who can afford cell phones, cars, microwaves, refridgerators, cable TV, etc. are considered to live in poverty.

                Another of his 'reasons' on the fallacy of free trade is that none of the developed countries developed in the absence of government intervention. While this is true, what he ignores is that the developed countries developed in an economic atmosphere of substantially less government intervention than in the past. In all of economic history, all around the world, governments have controlled and directed the economy. But most technological and commercial advances took place when governments were weak. As a result, the idea of personal liberty was established during the Enlightenment period. When this took place, the economies of the Western world exploded, giving them the capital to explore and develop. This is the primary reason for the dominance of the West.

                Another idea about the evils of capitalism and free trade is downsizing. Companies downsize because they can do more with less. The agricultural revolution means that 1 or 2 people can create enough food for 98 or 99 people. This frees up the 98 or 99 people to do other things besides worry about where they are going to get their next meal. Today, the manufacturing sector in America produces 95% more than it did in 1970, with only 75% of the people in manufacturing during the 1970s. This means that productivity per worker increased by more than a factor of 2. When this occurs companies will naturally lay off workers. Instead of viewing this as an evil, it should be viewed as what it actually is: allowing labor to go where it is most needed. Due to the efficiency of agriculture people were free to work on other things (creating the division of labor), like manufacturing, and creating newer and better services, instead of toiling away on the farm.

                I can't remember all of his 'reasons' since I wasn't foolish enough to buy this book, but all of his other 'reasons' are just as weak in fact and logic. Don't buy this book. All but 2 or 3 sentences are wrong.

                5 out of 5 stars How America Screws the Rest of the World.......2003-03-01

                The American public is unaware about how the U.S. government conducts its foreign policy through the IMF and World Bank. The U.S. media has failed to explain to the American public how exactly the World Bank and IMF operate to economically control thrid-world countries. These two organizations actually promote the economic colonization of the third-world. Programs like CNN Pinnacle with Willow Bay provide misleading portrayals of World Bank leaders (i.e. JAMES WOLFENSOHN, PRESIDENT, WORLD BANK). This book fills the gap left by the news media. A very interesting and short read!

                This book is extremely condensed, and contains all the essential elements of grammar. The problem is that it is not very well laid out. I would instead highly recommend "Write Right!" by J. Venolia

                  5 out of 5 stars The Life of Jesus in Small Nugget Form.......2000-06-24

                  This book gives practical advice in communication and interaction with others using examples from the life of Jesus. It is set up a bit like a daily devotional rather than chapter form. Each "nugget" is one or two pages long and includes both a title and theme quote. Some examples of theme quotes from the book are. - Jesus was authoritative, not authoritarian. - Jesus kept his finger on the pulse of the world. - Look for several people you want for friends. - Jesus kept his complaints private. - Jesus went beyond doing good things for good people. - People become what you call them. - Jesus was discreet in his use of power. - Jesus dealt directly with his enemies. These are just of few of the 59 miniature power lessons from the life of Jesus. This makes a great gift or coffee table book as well as helpful personal tool.

                  This book is a must read if anyone wants to impact other peoples lives in a positive way. Jesus was perfect in all his ways, but this book looks at how Jesus related to people. He saw people for exactly who they were and lovingly exposed their true character and motives so that they could see themselves as God sees them. The many examples in this book that reveal how we should treat others is inspiring and will bless anyone who reads it..

                    Book Description

                    The statistics are alarming--in the world, in the Church, in temple marriages. Divorce is all too common among today. Of every 100 U.S. couples who marry, 40 to 50 couples will eventually divorce. In this new collection, a variety of mental health professionals and others present their Latter-day Saint perspectives on divorce and related issues. The book discusses women and divorce, men and divorce, children and divorce, dating again, blended families, remarriage, marriage counseling, and so on. All but one of the contributing authors can speak from personal experience about divorce. This book, which will help couples contemplating divorce and men and women who are working through divorce, offers guidance, ideas, comfort and gospel perspective for those struggling through the painful experience of divorce. Author Dr. A. Dean Byrd writes, "After divorce lives can be put back together. Healing can occur." This hopeful message can help people begin that healing process.
