Oksana just wants to have friends and lead a normal life--and though she constantly tries to do the right thing, she keeps getting herself in trouble. As she grows up, she continues to misbehave, from somewhat accidentally maiming the school bus bully, to stealing the much-coveted (and expensive-to-replace) key to New York City's Gramercy Park, to falling in love with a married man. As her grandmother moves back to Ukraine, her father gets a job at Goldman Sachs, and her mother knits endless scarves, Oksana longs for a Russia that looms large in her imagination but is a country she never really knew. When she visits her grandmother in Yalta and learns about Baba's wartime past and her lost loves, Oksana begins to see just how much alike they are, and comes to a new understanding of how to embrace life and love without causing harm to the people dearest to her--though, will Oksana ever quite learn to behave?

Описание: An "irresistible" (Anthony Marra) debut about a Russian American girl's bumpy path to adulthood "The voice is so, so sharp and so funny that I am just like tickled--tickled --to be reading it."--Emma Straub, The Wall Street Journal When Oksana's family begins their new American life in Florida after emigrating from Ukraine, her physicist father delivers pizza at night to make ends meet, her depressed mother sits home all day worrying, and her flamboyant grandmother relishes the attention she gets when she walks Oksana to school, not realizing that the street they're walking down is known as Prostitute Street.

But will Oksana ever quite learn to behave? Praise for Oksana, Behave "Tragicomic and bittersweet . . . an immigrant's coming-of-age tale done with brio."--Kirkus Reviews "What luck for readers that Oksana can't behave Little devil, infinite imbecile, poor futureless child--all the names her displaced, loving family give to her as she crashes and burns and wanders the wilderness of her inheritance, fit perfectly. As outrageous as she is, as funny and as awful as she can be, though, in Oksana, Maria Kuznetsova has also created a character of great passion and depth--of tragedy, even, too--the very sort that populate the stories of Chekhov and Tolstoy, the poems of Anna Akhmatova, and all the other Russian writers Oksana looks to for comfort and company and some sort of bearing in this absurd world. This novel is a stark, hilarious delight."--Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers

Описание: An Introduction to Community Tourism: A North American Perspective is intended to assist individuals and communities to consider the nature of tourism in a community context and its relationship to quality of life for the resident population in that community within the United States and Canada. Successful community-based tourism is characterized by resident acceptance of the industry through employment, support, and involvement. Furthermore, successful community tourism involves numerous collaborative partnerships; specifically resident groups, parks and recreation departments, chambers of commerce and visitors bureaus; and other civic organizations. Importantly, this text addresses the organization of tourism within communities that lie outside of the mass tourism markets. There is a focus on main streets, architectural character, destination attributes, and the inventory and management of those attributes. Specific attention is given to sustainability of the community and industry, to include planning, development, and marketing. An Introduction to Community Tourism: A North American Perspective examines the dynamics between social or economic development and the quality of life for residents in those special places blessed with natural, historic, and cultural resources. This book is a resource for students and professionals. From a teaching point of view, the book provides a structure for teaching tourism in a way that will enable students to understand and appreciate this complex industry. For professionals, the book provides information to help educate boards, commissions, and resident populations on the industry. Communities often seek ways to develop tourism for economic reasons. Therefore, this book will help these community leaders to better understand the conditions necessary for a successful community-based tourism industry. Embedded throughout the book are examples from different-sized communities to illustrate professional practice. Also included are learning objectives, myriad examples of tourism in communities, and useful online resources for the reader.

Описание: "Despite increasing attention towards Russias economy and capital market, corporate governance norms of Russian public firms are rarely analyzed. This project presents and interprets evidence regarding various governance practices followed by Russian firms covering almost the entire period of the existence of the Russian stock market. Its findings run counter to some widely held beliefs according to which Russia is a country with high resistance to corporate innovations due to socialist imprints. Part one of this two-volume study focuses on the role that boards of directors play in reducing intra-corporate agency conflicts. Russian companies have adopted progressive governance mechanisms including director independence, nationality and gender diversity on the board, dismissal of poorly performing CEOs, and cross-listing of companies on foreign markets with stringent reporting obligations. Some of these innovations have had notably positive impact on firms performances and market valuation. Others, such as nationality diversity on boards of directors, enhanced the image of Russian companies but made little contribution towards improving internal governance. Unresolved issues impeding further progress include limited liability of directors towards shareholders due to imperfections of the Russian legal system, a taboo on disclosures of executives compensations, and generally high risks of conducting business in Russia. Despite impressive improvements in internal practices, Russian firms still have a long way to go to achieve the governance levels of their peers in developed countries. "
