FutureWealth

Investing In The Second Great Wave Of Technology

By: Francis McInerney,Sean White

The American economy has been turned upside down during the past decade in one of the most tumultuous economic revolutions in world history. The result: the United States has put more distance between itself and its commercial rivals than anyone imagined possible. Annual growth in the U.S. economy matches the size of whole countries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has reached once-unthinkable heights. Three-quarters of the world's top fifty companies are now American. In FutureWealth, a superbly researched book, the authors provide a startling new way of looking at America's success. The reason for our exceptional performance is the breathtaking pace at which U.S. companies today substitute information for all other resources at their disposal. The authors explore major companies that have substituted information throughout their operations. They also show how the results have been dramatic in those companies' expanded bottom lines and rising stock valuations-- and how investors can both learn and profit from the information revolution around us. FutureWealth is a landmark book and a very timely read for investors, managers, and policy makers the world over.

The Total Quality Corporation

How 10 Major Companies Turned Quality and Environmental Challenges to Competitive Advantage in the 1990s

By: Francis McInerney,Sean White

This superbly researched, powerfully reasoned book shatters one of the most destructive business myths of our time: that a corporation must choose between higher profits and protection of the environment." "Instead, as the authors demonstrate with compelling case histories of ten spectacular corporate success stories of the 1990s, the opposite is actually true: A corporation that makes the environment a major priority not only reaps a huge harvest on the bottom line, but also gains a vital edge in the unrelentingly competitive marketplace of this decade of cost cutting." "The reason for this is almost staggeringly simple. Pollution of all kinds is just another word for industrial waste, and waste is exactly what no corporation in search of total quality in its product and of complete acceptance by the consumer can afford today." "The Total Quality Corporation also provides a fascinating overview of the growing challenges facing the three major economic regions of the world - Europe, Japan, and America. How corporations respond and how fast they do it will determine who wins in the ever more demanding race for global marketshare. And the race has already started, as is evident in this timely, compelling book."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Engines of Privilege

Britain's Private School Problem

By: David Kynaston,Francis Green

Thoroughly researched and written with such calm authority, yet makes you want to scream with righteous indignation' John O'Farrell 'We can expect the manifesto-writers at the next general election to pass magpie-like over these chapters ... The appeal to act is heartfelt' Financial Times ___________________ Includes a new chapter, 'Moving Ahead?' Britain's private, fee-paying schools are institutions where children from affluent families have their privileges further entrenched through a high-quality, richly-resourced education. Engines of Privilege contends that, in a society that mouths the virtues of equality of opportunity, of fairness and of social cohesion, the educational apartheid separating private schools from our state schools deploys our national educational resources unfairly; blocks social mobility; reproduces privilege down the generations; and underpins a damaging democratic deficit in our society. Francis Green and David Kynaston carefully examine options for change, while drawing on the valuable lessons of history. Clear, vigorous prose is combined with forensic analysis to powerful effect, illuminating the painful contrast between the importance of private schools in British society and the near-absence of serious, policy-shaping debate. ___________________ 'An excoriating account of the inequalities perpetuated by Britain's love affair with private schools' The Times

Residue Reviews

Residues of Pesticides and Other Contaminants in the Total Environment

By: Francis A. Gunther,Jane Davies Gunther

Worldwide concern in scientific, industrial, and governmental com munities over traces of toxic chemicals in foodstuffs and in both abiotic and biotic environments has justified the present triumvirate of specialized publications in this field: comprehensive reviews, rapidly published progress reports, and archival documentations. These three publications are integrated and scheduled to provide in international communication the coherency essential for nonduplicative and current progress in a field as dynamic and complex as environmental contamination and toxicology. Until now there has been no journal or other publication series reserved exclusively for the diversified literature on "toxic" chemicals in our foods, our feeds, our geographical surroundings, our domestic animals, our wild life, and ourselves. Around the world immense efforts and many talents have been mobilized to technical and other evaluations of natures, locales, magnitudes, fates, and toxicology of the persisting residues of these chemicals loosed upon the world. Among the sequelae of this broad new emphasis has been an inescapable need for an articulated set of authorita tive publications where one could expect to find the latest important world literature produced by this emerging area of science together with documentation of pertinent ancillary legislation.

The Greek Poetry of Summons and Invitation

From Homer to the Hellenistic Age

By: Francis Cairns

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Greek Poetry of Summons and Invitation

From Homer to the Hellenistic Age

By: Francis Cairns

The Greek Poetry of Summons and Invitation assembles and studies for the first time the numerous poetic invitations and summonses of Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greece. These poems and passages come from epic, lyric, dramatic, epigrammatic, and epigraphic sources. Most of them are by celebrated Greek poets ― Homer, Sappho, Alcaeus, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Theocritus, Callimachus, Apollonius, among others. Analysis of this poetic corpus associates it with the ‘kletikon’, an ancient rhetorical genre of content, and reveals everywhere in it the commonplaces of that genre, thus allowing new sub-types of the kletikon to be discovered, and the development of the genre over the centuries to be charted. When individual invitations and summonses are viewed against this generic background, their originality and merits emerge along with their poets’ unique voices. Each summons and invitation is presented, translated, discussed in detail, and, when part of a longer work, linked to its context. This volume is directed to scholars and students of Classics; scholars of the Latin equivalent genre, the ‘vocatio’, which persisted into the Renaissance, can also find in it an intellectual model.

The Language of God

A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief

By: Francis Collins

Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Affective Neuroscience in Psychotherapy

A Clinician's Guide for Working with Emotions

By: Francis Stevens

Most psychological disorders involve distressful emotions, yet emotions are often regarded as secondary in the etiology and treatment of psychopathology. This book offers an alternative model of psychotherapy, using the patient’s emotions as the focal point of treatment. This unique text approaches emotions as the primary source of intervention, where emotions are appreciated, experienced, and learned from as opposed to being regulated solely. Based on the latest developments in affective neuroscience, Dr. Stevens applies science-based interventions with a sequential approach for helping patients with psychological disorders. Chapters focus on how to use emotional awareness, emotional validation, self-compassion, and affect reconsolidation in therapeutic practice. Interventions for specific emotions such as anger, abandonment, jealousy, and desire are also addressed. This book is essential reading for clinicians practicing psychotherapy, social workers and licensed mental health counselors, as well as anyoe interested in the emotional science behind the brain.

Blizzard

By: Francis M

Winner of the Southern Arts Prize and shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection.The poems in Matthew Francis's first collection range from the light-hearted to the unsettling, from lyrical and witty evocations of landscape and domestic life to narratives of apocalypse and surreal fantasy. Night and winter provide the dominant metaphors, but, from this material, Francis, whose technical adroitness and flair for storytelling are equally remarkable, conjures up a substantial imaginative world in which it is possible to live with a renewed sense of freedom.Dark, dangerous and exhilarating, Blizzard reveals a fully mature and compelling talent.

Principles of Cost-Benefit Analysis for Developing Countries

By: Caroline L. Dinwiddy,Francis J. Teal

The book presents the theory of cost-benefit analysis and applies this theory to contemporary problems of development economics. It is distinctive in that it combines an introduction to welfare economics and project appraisal with a discussion of current issues in development economics such as structural adjustment policies, commodity stabilization programs and environmental issues. The book assumes a basic economic understanding and should be a useful text and also of interest to public policy administrators.
