Описание: Calm Before the Storm: Desert Storm Diaries and Other Stories In August 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and President George H.W. Bushs press secretary started a diary. That compilation of private notes, memos and briefings from the Persian Gulf Crisis to the resulting Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm serve as the backdrop of a story that is as much about presidential leadership and American principles as it is about those pivotal moments in history. Marlin Fitzwater is one of the longest serving White House press secretaries, serving under both Presidents H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, for ten years, 1983-93. His front row seat to some of Americas most defining moments provides an intimate look at what transpired inside the White House in the wake of Saddam Husseins audacious moves to control a portion of the worlds oil reserves and substantial coastline on the Persian Gulf. Fitzwaters diary entries give a play-by-play of the events from the press briefings to deployment of troops - all interspersed with personal accounts of his interactions with President Bush and world leaders, offering insight to the states of mind of the powerful people responsible for making monumental decisions as well as a snapshot of his own personal experience in the White House. Fitzwater was a member of the nine person group, including the Vice President and Secretaries of State and Defense, who met with the President almost daily to plan and direct the War. The book, in fact begins at his familys farm and takes us on Fitzwaters journey to the White House, brilliantly painting a picture of what helped produce his rich powers of observation and storytelling. Anecdotes connected to other historic events and figures that resonated strongly with the author complement the overall themes and message of the book - and include Barbara Bush, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, the Panama invasion, Lech Walesa, Mikhail Gorbachev, the hostages in the Middle East, the infamous no new taxes, and much more. Reflections on President Reagans penchant for practical jokes, Sophia Loren popping into Fitzwaters office to say, hello, his first encounter with Barbara Bush, the horses ass tiepin worn during a press Conference, fashion emergencies, Nancy Reagans grace, and so many other engaging stories will leave readers wishing for more and more. Dedicated to the memory of George and Barbara Bush, the book closes with a series of remembrances of President Bush written by some of his National Security staff and other senior officers: all of whom expressed their thoughts and feelings through short essays. The memoir is sure to leave readers feeling a renewed sense of patriotism as well as a keen respect for those who bear the weight of upholding the American dream. The contrasts between todays press briefings and communication with media as well as overall public discourse as compared to Fitzwaters time in the White House are stark and are sure to make people sit back and wonder how the staggering changes evolved. News correspondents, other former press secretaries, senior White House officials, and historians have lauded the book. The foreword is provided by Kenneth T. Walsh, White House news correspondent and historian. Fitzwater has many published works and private releases to his credit. He was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal in 1992 and is the founder of Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire. He and his wife, Melinda, have two adult children and live in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay.

Описание:

Following the Zapatista uprising on New Year's Day 1994, the EZLN communities of Chiapas began the slow process of creating a system of autonomous government that would bring their call for freedom, justice, and democracy from word to reality. Autonomy Is in Our Hearts analyzes this long and arduous process on its own terms, using the conceptual language of Tsotsil, a Mayan language indigenous to the highland Zapatista communities of Chiapas.

The words "Freedom," "Justice," and "Democracy" emblazoned on the Zapatista flags are only approximations of the aspirations articulated in the six indigenous languages spoken by the Zapatista communities. They are rough translations of concepts such as ichbail ta muk' or "mutual recognition and respect among equal persons or peoples," a'mtel or "collective work done for the good of a community" and lekil kuxlejal or "the life that is good for everyone." Autonomy Is in Our Hearts provides a fresh perspective on the Zapatistas and a deep engagement with the daily realities of Zapatista autonomous government. Simultaneously an exposition of Tsotsil philosophy and a detailed account of Zapatista governance structures, this book is an indispensable commentary on the Zapatista movement of today.

Outlaws. Lovers. Heroes. Villains.

With their peg legs, their parrots and the skull and crossbones flying from the mastheads of their ships, classic pirates are some of the world's best-known and easily recognizable outlaws. Or are they? These fifteen stories spin new tales of pirates crossing dimensional barriers for revenge, fighting terrible foes in outer space and building new lives after the Trojan War. Travel to the South China Sea, then on to New York City after a climate apocalypse, then roam the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy and voyage to distant and fantastical worlds. Go with them as they seek treasure, redemption, love, revenge and more. Raise the Jolly Roger and sharpen your cutlass (or recharge your raygun) and climb aboard for some unforgettable journeys.

From fantastical adventures to YA science fiction, from historical tales to piracy in intergalactic space, Scourge of the Seas gives readers a broad range of new pirate legends. Featuring stories by Ginn Hale, A.J. Fitzwater, Geonn Cannon, Joyce Chng, Elliott Dunstan, Ashley Deng, Su Haddrell, Ed Grabianowski, Mharie West, Matisse Mozer, Soumya Sundar Mukherjee, Megan Arkenberg, Peter Golubock, Michael Merriam and Caroline Sciriha.

Описание: Excerpt from Improving Farmers' Income Through Cooperative Bargaining

Bargaining power, or market power, is a general term referring to ability to influence the outcome of the price making process. To have bargaining power means that a firm or group of firms can affect the various economic and institutional factors in the market so that they can bring about prices or other terms of trade more favorable to them than those prevailing or that would prevail otherwise. Not to have bargaining power means to be a price taker rather than a price maker.
