New York: HarperBusiness, 2004. Fine UNREAD 2004 1st printing book in Near Fine Dust Jacket Cover bright, negliginle wear Pages clean bright tight Dust Jacket minimal shelfwear, inside tape repaired tear Product Description: In Begging for Change, Robert Egger looks back on his experience and exposes the startling lack of logic, waste, and ineffectiveness he has encountered during his years in the nonprofit sector, and calls for reform of this $800 billion industry from the inside out. In his entertaining and inimitable way, he weaves stories from his days in music, when he encountered legends such as Sarah Vaughan, Mel Torme, and Iggy Pop, together with stories from his experiences in the hunger movement -- and recently as volunteer interim director to help clean up the beleaguered United Way National Capital Area. He asks for nonprofits to be more innovative and results-driven, for corporate and nonprofit leaders to be more focused and responsible, and for citizens who contribute their time and money to be smarter and more demanding of nonprofits and what they provide in return. Robert's appeal to common sense will resonate with readers who are tired of hearing the same nonprofit fund-raising appeals and pity-based messages. Instead of asking the "who" and "what" of giving, he leads the way in asking the "how" and "why" in order to move beyond our 19th-century concept of charity, and usher in a 21st-century model of change and reform for nonprofits. Enlightening and provocative, engaging and moving, this book is essential reading for nonprofit managers, corporate. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover.

Cincinnati, Ohio: Writer's Digest Books, 2000. <br></br> From Library Journal Here's a guide for writers that doesn't sugarcoat the difficulties. The statement, "History offers few greater mismatches than that of publisher vs. writer," is a fair indication of the tone. Record-keeping, contracts, agents, and every legal tax angle are discussed with authority. The Canadian scene, much kinder to writers because of its national health care, is also covered. Listed are professional publications, fellowships and grants, conferences, and colonies from celebrated to obscure. The chapters on library and commercial database use are well informed; so too is the explanation of how to make use of the Freedom of Information Act. Types of markets are discussed, from neighborhood papers (the easiest) to corporate, specialty, and trade publications. More for nonfiction writers than for poets or fiction writers, but otherwise this book is exemplary. - John Mort, Kansas City P.L., Mo. . Second Edition. Hard Cover.

Sage Publications, 2000. Near Fine UNREAD 1st Thus: Cover bright, minor shelfwear to front edges, else very minor wear Pages clean bright tight Very Nice!<br></br>Book Description: For much of its history, the academic literature in strategy has focused on the actions and decisions of top managers. The argument of Building Strategy From the Middle is that rapidly developing technologies and competitive dynamics heighten needs for enhanced organizational competencies, which puts a premium on new ideas generated at the operating level and creates a shift in the strategic responsibilities within organizations. Strategic leadership now occurs not only at the top, but at all levels of the organization. This ground-breaking new book reframes the perspective taken in most strategy research in two key ways: by describing organizational renewal from a middle-level perspective and by reconceptualizing the theoretical basis for strategy process research. Part I of the book (Foundations) reviews the existing literature on the strategy process, including recent literature on strategic change renewal. Part II (New Theoretical Horizons) builds the theoretical basis for a middle level perspective, focusing on knowledge development, social network analysis, and organizational trust. Part III (Middle Level Perspective) moves from synthesizing existing research toward the development of a model for conducting research from a middle-level perspective. . First Thus. Soft Cover.

VG+ 1999 12th printing Cover bright, minor shelfwear mainly edges/corners, sm rubs chips Pages clean bright tight <br></br> From Publishers Weekly: Southwest Airlines began operating in 1971 with four planes serving three cities and with revenues of $2 million. In 1995, the company had 224 planes serving 45 cities and revenues of almost $3 billion. Moreover, the company has made a profit every year since 1973, one of the few airlines that can make that claim. The authors, a husband and wife who are partners in a San Diego consulting firm, attribute much of Southwest's success to the willingness of its management, led by chairman Herb Kelleher, to be innovative. Southwest's primary operating philosophy is low fares and lots of flights. To make this formula work, Southwest management has created a culture where employees are treated as the company's number one asset. The Freibergs list a number of things the airline management does to benefit its employees, including such programs as profit-sharing and empowering employees to make decisions. Southwest also mixes in New Age management techniques, such as celebrating different milestones, and letting love play a part in running the airline (the company's stock ticker symbol is LUV). The Freibergs state up front that their work is not an expose and make no apologies for presenting a very positive and optimistic view. While the success the airline has achieved is worthy of study, some critical analysis would have made for a more worthwhile presentation. Photos. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. .

VG- 2000 1st Ed in Near Fine Dust Jacket Cover bright, very minor shelfwear Very minor amount of ink underlining/margin notes or highlighting scattered Very legible Dust Jacket bright, very minor shelfwear to edges Product Description: Exploring the global politics of restitution from 1945 Germany to present-day Bosnia. How do nations and aggrieved parties, in the wake of heinous crimes and horrible injustices, make amends in a way that acknowledges wrongdoing and redefines future interactions? How does the growing practice of negotiating restitution restore a sense of morality and enhance prospects for world peace? Where has restitution worked and where has it not? The Guilt of Nations explores this increasingly important dynamic in world politics today. Beyond its moral implications, restitution reflects a critical shift in political and economic bargaining. While preserving individual rights, restitution also enables victimized groups to receive growing recognition as groups. Elazar Barkan traces instances of historical crimes, such as the incarceration of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II, the sexual abuse of "comfort women" by Japanese soldiers, and the recent controversy over the financial dealings between Swiss banks and Nazi Germany. He argues that, as countries including the United States, Australia, and New Zealand come to recognize past injustices toward indigenous peoples within their borders, both governments and minority groups are compelled to redress the history of colonialism and redefine national identity. While restitution is not a panacea, this ever-spreading trend represents a new moral order in world politics. . First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

His investment principles, which he refers to as "Peter's Principles," are introduced in this audio edition with a brief, self-mocking fanfare. By acknowledging its audio audience and addressing itself directly to it, this tape is more of an adaptation of the original text than a faithful reading (though the book itself is an adaptation of earlier public remarks made by Lynch). While his passion sometimes impedes his articulation, Lynch's narration is always personable and engaging.

Whiting, a long-time Japan resident, concentrates on the two pro leagues. The Japanese leagues, he reports, believe their severely coached game to be superior to the U.S. game. They discourage Japanese from entering U.S. leagues. A few Americans, usually older ones, have been accepted on Japanese teams, but they meet with resentment, criticism, and discrimination. The book updates Whiting's earlier The Chrysanthemum and the Bat and contrasts with Sadaharu Oh and David Falkner's Sadaharu Oh.
