An excellent services marketing reference from the US.......1999-07-11

Detailed and thorough, this book of research has one minor downfall-all of the authors are American, save one. Once again, the US is the centre of the universe as far as marketing academics are concerned.

Book Description

This book deals with strategic adaptations at corporate, industry and government
levels to the development of the Single European Market. The underlying theme is that internalization processes concerning industrial activities, especially those of the already large international corporations both influence and are influenced by the European Community development. The major issues treated against this background are industrial competitiveness, industrial restructuring, Research and Development activities, cooperation between firms and the role of the European based activities in a global context.

Sloppy book cloaks a simple message in bureaucratic jargon........1997-10-28

Dr. Peter Leitner was the principal policy representative for the US Department of Defense for export control negotiation during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a time period which saw a revolution in national security policies and priorities triggered by the end of the cold war. This era saw the national and international technology export control mechanisms, like the Soviet Union that they were primarily designed to contain, weaken, and ultimately shatter. The book was written as a response to the liberalization of export controls on dual-use technologies such as high-speed computers and precision machine-tools which occurred at the end of the Bush administration, and during the early years of the Clinton administration. Dr. Leitner's message is very simple - the United States has implemented short-sighted policies liberalizing the export of dual-use technologies that potential adversaries may someday use against us. These policies, developed by self-serving bureaucrats following flawed decision-making methodologies, are damaging national security. It is unfortunate that Dr. Leitner chose to cloak this simple message in techno-bureaucratic jargon, and package it in a sloppily written book.

Dr. Leitner begins by providing some scholarly quotes concerning the differences between descriptive and inferential analysis, then goes on to describe various Congressional, military and diplomatic reporting requirements. He also explains to us in great detail what a case study is, and what constitutes "real/demonstrative" evidence. Unfortunately, nothing in the first two chapters contributes to his core message, and they seem to be there primarily to prevent his book from being a leaflet.

When Dr. Leitner finally gets around to discussing the topic of his book, he does provide a useful overview of the history of export controls, and the international and US national organizations involved in administering them. Foremost among the international groups was the Coordinating Committee on Export Controls (CoCom), which was established in 1949 and was disbanded in 1994. CoCom members included Australia, Japan, and the NATO nations (except Iceland). Shortly before CoCom ceased operations, it was busy decontrolling a wide array of technologies that Dr. Leitner shows could be used to upgrade weapons systems such as combat aircraft, tanks, and missile systems, as well as command, control, communications and intelligence systems. The point that the US allowed CoCom to release valuable military technologies is well made - but Dr. Leitner concentrates on the former Soviet threat to the exclusion of any other. Russia's military was recognized by most observers at the time of publication as being quite weak. In fact, Russia was unable to mount a fully successful invasion of a tiny portion of its own territory in Chechnya at the time Decontrolling Strategic Technology was being published. The author's message would have been more persuasive had he been able to find a more credible threat, such as the People's Republic of China facing Taiwan, or the North Koreans. In fact, in Dr. Leitner's testimony to the US Congressional Joint Economic Committee, given in June of 1997, he names China as the chief threat to the United States, though China is barely mentioned in his book, published only two years prior.

The US Department of Defense lost almost all of its influence over CoCom negotiating positions and export controls during the period from 1988 to 1994, and the influence of the State and Commerce Departments expanded proportionately. From an outsider's perspective, the reason for this shift in relative bureaucratic clout is obvious - the primary military threat which CoCom and the US export control apparatus was designed to counter disappeared - almost overnight. As the military threat decreased in severity and importance, the relative importance of economic factors increased. As an insider, Dr. Leitner cannot see this elementary dynamic at all - rather he sees the waning power of his fiefdom as a result of bureaucratic maneuvering, corruption, politicization and decision making mechanisms which suddenly became flawed. Of course, the maneuvering, backbiting, and the rest were always there - it was the changes in the external situation that altered the relative strength of the inside players. Ironically, if the author would have provided a fair and balanced examination of the benefits of relaxed export controls, he would have strengthened his own case. As the book is written, Dr. Leitner appears unable to grasp any part of the opposing viewpoint, and thus discredits his own.

Neither is Dr. Leitner's case helped by inexcusably careless editing. Perhaps the most egregious blooper is found in Chapter 11, where the first paragraph of his section entitled "Suboptimal Decision Making," is precisely, word-for-word identical with the last paragraph of the same section on the next page. The only explanation for this kind of error is that neither Dr. Leitner nor anyone else seriously read this book before its publication.

The poor quality of the book is unfortunate, because this reviewer happens to agree with the fundamental message it is trying to convey. The Persian Gulf war, the Korean situation, and, above all, an increasingly strident China show a requirement for continued US military strength and technological superiority. The price for technological inferiority - or even parity - with an adversary has always been large quantities of blood.

The breakup of the international system of technology export controls on dual-use technology essentially ends these controls, because the opponents of export controls in each state can always use the argument that "if we don't export it, someone else will." Consequently, technology is moving at tremendous speed to our potential adversaries, and to assume that they are too incompetent to take advantage of these technologies risks the lives of our military personnel. Oddly, Dr. Leitner never speaks in terms of potential American casualties, but instead discusses the potential monetary loss associated with B-2 bombers that might be shot down during the course of a nuclear war with Russia. Were a nuclear war with Russia to occur, it seems unlikely that the survivors would crawl from the incinerated rubble of their cities only to bemoan the cost of the B-2 bombers that were unnecessarily lost due to radar and computer technology transfers, nor would one expect a great deal of discussion concerning how to fund replacements.

Some would argue that export controls are of no use in reducing the military capabilities of our potential adversaries - or that any advantage provided by export controls is temporary, and hence of greater cost than worth. Of course, all technological advantages are temporary - but so are all wars. The author could have provided valuable historical examples in which technological transfer had an impact on the course of a war, or on casualties suffered. One famous case was the licensing of the manufacture of British Rolls-Royce jet engines to the Soviet Union immediately after World War II. The "Nene" engine, far superior to anything the Soviets were able to manufacture previously, was integrated into the MIKOYAN-GUREVICH MiG-15 in 1948, which provided the North Koreans, Chinese and Soviets with an aircraft superior to any the United States could field at the beginning of the Korean war (and some would argue, at the end). If Dr. Leitner would have provided a few historical examples of the consequences of technology transfer instead of telling us the viewscreen dimensions of radar displays, or discussing the relative merits of "cybernetic paradigms" vs. "political haggling," he might have been more persuasive.

Book Description

"A lucid and original contribution to the literature of free speech." -Laurence Tribe, Harvard University "[Surprises] are in store for readers of [this book]. The biggest one is that [Shiffrin's] First Amendment exemplars aren't such history-making United States Supreme Court justices as Oliver Wendell Holmes and William J. Brennan but Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson." -Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times "[Shiffrin] provides the kind of linkage between law and the humanities often called for but seldom achieved." -Daniel Aaron, Harvard University "This book offers a perspective on the First Amendment that is both original and important.... Shiffrin is dazzling in the range of his reading and the clarity and pertinence of his documentation." -Vincent Blasi, Columbia University "Shiffrin compellingly presents a particular notion of the First Amendment, rooted in the protection of the dissenter, that has important implications for a variety of contemporary debates.... He vigorously defends a highly contextual [ized].... model of constitutional decision making that has implications far beyond the First Amendment." -Sanford Levinson, University of Texas at Austin Steven H.

Book Description

Much research effort is currently underway to improve and implement the area-wide control of insect pests, in order to minimize the use of pesticides and protect the environment. This volume is an outcome of two major international meetings, the FAO/IAEA International Conference on Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests, and the Fifth International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance, both held in June 1998 in Penang. More than 300 pages were presented, but this volume includes the 91 considered the most valuable by an international review panel. Papers have been edited, revised and updated as necessary. Contributors include respected research workers from all over the world. The volume will be an indispensable reference volume for workers in agricultural, medical and veterinary entomology.

Book Description

Precision physics of simple atoms is a multidisciplinary area, involving atomic, laser, nuclear and particle physics and also metrology. This book will thus be of interest to a broad community of physicists and metrologists. Furthermore, since hydrogen (and other hydrogen-like atoms) is a model system for applying quantum theory, the book contains valuable material for students. The chapters provide in-depth reviews covering precision measurements, accurate calculations, fundamental constants, frequency standards, and tests of fundamental theory. The latest progress in each of these areas is also described for the specialist. The topics selected for this book are largely complementary to those of the earlier related volume, LNP 570.

Book Description

For more than a century, studies of atomic hydrogen have been a rich source of scientific discoveries. These began with the Balmer series in 1885 and the early quantum theories of the atom, and later included the development of QED and the first successful gauge field theory. Today, hydrogen and its relatives continue to provide new fundamental information, as witnessed by the contributions to this book. The printed volume contains invited reviews on the spectroscopy of hydrogen, muonium, positronium, few-electron ions and exotic atoms, together with related topics such as frequency metrology and the determination of fundamental constants. The accompanying CD contains, in addition to these reviews, a further 40 contributed papers also presented at the conference "Hydrogen Atom 2" held in summer 2000. Finally, to facilitate a historical comparison, the CD also contains the proceedings of the first "Hydrogen Atom" conference of 1988. The book includes a foreword by Norman F. Ramsey.

Book Description

Couldn't get into it.......2002-11-18

I enjoyed Portia, but this work, as much as I tried and all, I just couldn't get into this book. Maybe it was me, but the scenes flew from one thing to the next, I couldn't get head or tails of what was being said, so I stopped reading it.

Couldn't get into it.......2002-11-18

Delightful Read!.......2001-11-02

"Love Has Many Faces", Turney's second novel, is a delightful read about friendship with a touch of mystery. The reader is led through the trials of Robin and Leslie's unique and sometimes tumultuous friendship. The true depth of this friendship is tested across the boundaries of race, social class, lifestyle and faith. Unfortunately the ultimate test comes at the price someone's life.

Robin is an unforgettable and motivating character for young Christians aspiring to be an entertainer or any career that flushes one into the spotlight. Her Christian walk in the novel provides a contemporary examination of "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world -- 1 John 4:4b".

Turney enables her readers to really get in touch with the characters on a personal level. This book will inspire and shock the reader into examining his/her faith all the way to the startling end.

A good read embedded with life lessons.......2001-04-23

When I picked up Love Has Many Faces, I didn't know what to expect, but by the end of the first chapter, I was enthralled. This book outlines so many life struggles that every one of us are familiar with. The two themes that struck me the most were: friendship and staying true to oneself and one's principles. I was gripped by the strong friendship that Leslie and Robin shared, despite their differences.

The character Robin demonstrates a strong black woman not afraid to stay true to herself, her beliefs, and her love of God. Regardless of peer behavior, her losses in love, or her family problems, Robin remains a true role model. I would suggest this novel by a talented and up-and-coming author whole heartedly.

A Solid Read...deserving of being on your bookshelf!.......2001-01-07

First and foremost, I have to say that "Love Has Many Faces" is a wonderful read! It took me only one sitting to read this thick and robust novel. Love interweaves several stories and plot lines into one novel that has one underlying theme, in my opinion, and that is loving God, and allowing him to help you to guide your life in the "right" way. This book indeed shows that love has many faces as characters deal with life-changing circumstances, such as drugs, alcohol, death, and fame. Not only are the faces of love with each character, but most importantly with the characters who interact with one another, who love one another through harrowing times, in hindsight realizing that even when the face of love is someone telling you what you don't want to hear... I was moved with the spirit of the character, Robin. Her devotion to God, her "right" living never falters, and it proves that opening your heart to God is never in vain. There were so many character plots, both "major" characters and minors, that to some, the thought of a novel getting bogged down might occur; however, Ms. Turney does an exquisite job in telling each individual tale and pulling you into each character's life and how his or her life is ultimately affected by choices they make and the friends they keep. I guarantee that everyone who reads this will find at least one character that they will see a part of themselves in. "Love Has Many Faces" is not just a book you'd want to cuddle up and read with, even though the writing is so well done, you won't want to put it down. Love also teaches us lessons. Lessons about life and spirituality and self-esteem and perseverance and ultimately LOVE, love of our SELF, of each other, of the world, and most importantly, of God.

Not horrible, but not really good.......2007-02-10

This book's interesting in that it reunites readers with the author's previous characters: Pippa and Joshua Luck; his brother Joe and Joe's wife; Jason and Diana; several other couples; as well as the spouses of the 3 S's: brothers Stryker, Slater and Stoner. Just kidding; couldn't remember the third brother's name :)
The main characters in this book, Mike McGuire, the 3 S's father; and Gay Noble, whose sister is married to one of Mike's sons; are initially compelling. Then the story just kind of fizzles. The main source of conflict is the age difference between the two and their family members' reaction: oh no, my sister would become my stepmother if she married my father-in-law; egad, our son-in-law is a member of the AARP too! The latter is a slight exaggeration, but not by much :)
Lacey Dancer is known for writing affecting, sensual romances and characters that remain in the memory long after the final page is turned in their book. I do not believe her fans would find that to be true of Mike and Gay. Too bad, because the premise of this book is a good one, but the story just stalled somehow.
For an excellent older man/younger woman story with similar conflict but much steamier relationship between the couple, try Karen Keast's "The Surprise of His Life."
Don't give up on Lacey Dancer, though, as she has written a number of books on my KEEPER shelf: "Silke," "Noelle," "Leora," and "Caprice," separate Precious Gems romances of four sisters; "13 Days of Luck," the story of Pippa and Joshua Luck; "Flight of the Swan," and "Silent Enchantment."

Lacey Dancer concludes her Pippa series w/Many Faces of Love.......2004-03-18

Fabulous read!!! Highly recommended!!

"He has always been able to get what he wanted when he wanted it...until Mike McGuire came up against the one obstacle he couldn't bypass...time. Gay was everything he wanted, needed in his life. She was vital. She was strong, with a strength she didn't seem to realize. She was the same age as his married son. Life hurt too much. Life stole more than it gave...then Gay Noble met Mike. Her family thought he was too old for her. Her sister had married Mike's son. From that moment on, her life had begun to change. They shared one night that changed her way of looking at herself and her past. He had left her bed but buried himself in her heart. Now, she was out to get her man, anyway she could."
