Woman As Fire, Woman As Sage: Sexual Ideology in the Mahabharata


Woman As Fire, Woman As Sage: Sexual Ideology in the Mahabharata by Arti Dhand
State University of New York Press | 2008 | ISBN: 079147139X | 254 pages | PDF | 2 MB


The Hindu tradition has held conflicting views on womanhood from its earliest texts--holding women aloft as goddesses to be worshipped on the one hand and remaining deeply suspicious about women's sexuality on the other. In Woman as Fire, Woman as Sage, Arti Dhand examines the religious premises upon which Hindu ideas of sexuality and women are constructed. The work focuses on the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, a text that not only reflects the cogitations of a momentous period in Hindu history, but also was critical in shaping the future of Hinduism. Dhand proposes that the epic's understanding of womanhood cannot be isolated from the broader religious questions that were debated at the time, and that the formation of a sexual ideology is one element in crafting a coherent religious framework for Hinduism.

Between the challenges of escalating competition, well-informed clients, and dismal customer service, today's marketplace is becoming more and more crowded.

In this breakthrough book, customer service expert Bob Livingston gives you practical tools for transforming your approach to serving clients by strengthening “how you do what you do.” Whether you're a business leader, a client service executive, a sales manager, or an individual, you can differentiate yourself from competition by adopting Livingston's simple yet proven roadmap for achieving Service Excellence.

In How You Do . . . What You Do, Livingston imparts a clear, step-by-step blueprint for transforming your culture, attitudes, and behaviors by illustrating how to:
Develop and live your Purpose and Values
Understand your clients' soft needs, and create plans to satisfy them
Seek continuous improvement by stimulating creativity and innovation

Create a passion for Service Excellence

Livingston draws upon a lifetime of experience in which he has achieved measurable success helping many companies shape their service cultures--most notably CROSSMARK, an international consumer products sales and marketing agency, whose remarkable transformation stands out as one of the strongest proof statements for this methodology. Throughout, Livingston benchmarks other great companies renowned for their service excellence, including Accenture, Henry & Horne, ECRM, The Nielsen Company, TBWA\Worldwide, Four Seasons, and many others.

Properly executed, this compelling and inspirational approach to service virtually guarantees the client loyalty that will set you apart from competition, and distinguish you by How You Do . . . What You Do.

The Handbook of Sustainable Refurbishment: Volume 1: Non-Domestic Buildings


The Handbook of Sustainable Refurbishment: Volume 1: Non-Domestic Buildings by Nick V. Baker
Earthscan | 2009 | ISBN: 1844074862 | 190 pages | PDF | 12 MB


The refurbishment of existing buildings is a neglected subject within sustainable architecture; attention is usually focused on new buildings. Old buildings can use large amounts of energy and provide poor internal conditions for occupants. They may have high heating demand, poor lighting, poor ventilation, solar penetration and glare, and poor control of heating and cooling. Demolition is an option but the alternative of refurbishment is starting to be seen as more sustainable in terms of architectural value, materials use, neighborhood disruption and waste disposal.

Building new is more carbon intensive and carries many wider environmental impacts. In addition, the potential impact of low energy refurbishment is much greater than that for new build since there are many more existing buildings than will be built in the next 10 - 20 years, the period over which many CO2 emission targets apply.

The Handbook of Sustainable Refurbishment: Volume 1: Non-Domestic Buildings offers architects, engineers and a wide range of building professionals practical advice, illustrated by real examples. It moves from principles of sustainable refurbishment to specific design and engineering guidance. It emphasizes the need for an integrated approach by showing how refurbishment measures interact with one and other, and with the occupants, and how performance is ultimately influenced by this interaction.

Operations Strategy in Action: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Implementation


Operations Strategy in Action: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Implementation
Edward Elgar Pub (November 9, 2009) | ISBN: 1847207774 | 538 pages | PDF | 12 MB


This fresh and enlightening book offers a rounded overview of operations strategy with a particular focus on implementation. The premise of the book is that developing an effective operations strategy without its subsequent implementation will render the strategising process a waste of time and resources.

The authors explain the pros and cons of existing approaches to implementation as well as offering a systematic framework for turning strategic intent into actions. They offer a fresh look at a subject whose importance within academia and industry is rapidly increasing due to the need to refocus the attention of business upon the elements that actually add value to society - operations. Although operations strategy implementation is a broad and complex subject area, by developing a mature, broad perspective of the subject the authors consider that all elements of an organisation have potential to contribute directly by adding tangible values to the operations strategy process.

This study will be of great interest to academics and will also give practitioners confidence in efficiently formulating and effectively implementing strategies that reflect the needs of today's business. Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying operations strategy and manufacturing strategy will find this book an essential and fascinating read. It will also offer operations managers a comprehensive and cohesive view of the subject that until now has been lacking.

World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography


World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography by World Bank
World Bank Publications | 2008 | ISBN: 0821376403 | 383 pages | PDF | 37 MB


Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions - density, distance, and division - are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged.The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues.Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced.The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow; proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations; and, revisists the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.

Woman's Inhumanity to Woman


Woman's Inhumanity to Woman by Phyllis Chesler
Lawrence Hill Books | 2009 | ISBN: 1556529465 | 576 pages | PDF | 26 MB


“Man’s inhumanity to man”--the phrase is all too familiar. But until Phyllis Chesler's now-classic book, a profound silence prevailed about woman’s inhumanity to woman. Women's aggression may not take the same form as men's, but girls and women are indeed aggressive, often indirectly and mainly toward one another. They judge harshly, hold grudges, gossip, exclude, and disconnect from other women.

Like men, women are exposed to the messages of misogyny and sexism that permeate cultures worldwide. Like men, women unconsciously buy into negative images that can trigger abuse and mistreatment of other women. But like other social victims, many do not realize stereotyping affects members within the victimized group as well as those outside the group. They do not realize their behavior reflects society's biases.

How women view and treat other women matters. Are women oppressed? Yes. Do oppressed people internalize their oppressors' attitudes? Without a doubt. Prejudice must first be acknowledged before it can be resisted or overcome. More than men, women depend upon one another for emotional intimacy and bonding, and exclusionary and sexist behavior enforces female conformity and discourages independence and psychological growth.


Continuing the pioneering work begun in Women and Madness—Chesler's bestselling book that broke the story on double standards in psychology—Woman's Inhumanity to Woman draws on important studies, revolutionary theories, literature, and hundreds of original interviews. Chesler urges us to look within, to treat other women realistically, ethically, and kindly, and to forge bold and compassionate alliances. This is a necessary next step for women, without which they will never be liberated.

The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human


The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human by V. S. Ramachandran
W. W. Nor to n & Co m pany | 2011 | ISBN: 0393077829 | 357 pages | PDF | 1,9 MB


V. S. Ramachandran is at the forefront of his field-so much so that Richard Dawkins dubbed him the "Marco Polo of neuroscience." Now, in a major new work, Ramachandran sets his sights on the mystery of human uniqueness. Taking us to the frontiers of neurology, he reveals what baffling and extreme case studies can teach us about normal brain function and how it evolved. Synesthesia becomes a window into the brain mechanisms that make some of us more creative than others. And autism—for which Ramachandran opens a new direction for treatment—gives us a glimpse of the aspect of being human that we understand least: self-awareness.

Ramachandran tackles the most exciting and controversial topics in neurology with a storyteller's eye for compelling case studies and a researcher's flair for new approaches to age-old questions. Tracing the strange links between neurology and behavior, this book unveils a wealth of clues into the deepest mysteries of the human brain.

The Old Girls' Network: Insider Advice for Women Building Bu


The Old Girls' Network: Insider Advice for Women Building Businesses in a Man's World by Sharon Whiteley, Connie Duckworth, Kathy Elliott
Publisher: Basic Books (August 12, 2003) | ISBN-10: 073820806X | ISBN-13: 978-0738208060 | 288 Pages | PDF | 10 MB


Four successful entrepreneurs and experienced angel investors seek to help "connect women with the resources they need to start and build sustainable high-growth businesses" in this instructive guide. Full of examples of women who mixed passion, vision and a pioneering spirit to achieve professional success, the volume offers both encouragement and practical advice. Ninety-five percent of all investor financing goes to men, the authors say, but it doesn't have to be that way. They explain that entrepreneurs aren't daredevils-they're optimists who take calculated risks. Although the tone is upbeat and the tales are inspiring, the authors also examine the downside of entrepreneurship; beginning and running a business often takes a toll on families, they write, and the need for enormous stamina can test one's spirits.

It's estimated that 50 percent of small businesses fold within their first year, so this book's objective is to provide the other 50 percent, many of which are run by women, with the necessary tools for increased opportunity and success. From topics such as raising capital all the way to exit strategies for the CEO of a successful venture, this volume is a treasure trove of business know-how from some savvy "old girls." An appendix, which includes sample legal forms, term sheets, business plan templates and PowerPoint presentations, should also prove extremely helpful.

Degrammaticalization


Degrammaticalization
Publisher: OUP | 2009 | ISBN-10: 0199207933 | ISBN-13: 978 0199207930 | English | True PDF | 258 pages | 2 Mb


Grammaticalization is a well-attested process of linguistic change in which a lexical item becomes a function word, which may be further reduced to a clitic or affix. Proponents of the universality of grammaticalization have usually argued that it is unidirectional and have thus found it a useful tool in linguistic reconstruction. In this book Prof Norde shows that change is reversible on all levels: semantic, morphological, syntactic, and phonological. As a consequence, the alleged unidirectionality of grammaticalization is not a reliable reconstructional tool, even if degrammaticalization is a rare phenomenon. Degrammaticalization, she argues, is essentially different from grammaticalization: it usually comprises a single change, examples being shifts from affix to clitic, or from function word to lexical item.

And where grammaticalization can be seen as a process, degrammaticalization is often the by-product of other changes. Nevertheless, she shows that it can be described, like grammaticalization, in a principled way, in order to establish whether a change in a word has been from more to less grammatical or vice versa, and the stages by which it has become so. Using data from different languages she constructs a typology of degrammaticalization changes. She explains why degrammaticalization is so rare and why some linguists have such strongly negative feelings about the possibility of its existence. She adds to the understanding of grammaticalization and makes a significant contribution to methods of linguistic reconstruction and the study of language change. She writes clearly, aiming to be understood by advanced undergraduate students as well as appealing to scholars and graduate researchers in historical linguistics.

Perspective Drawing in Adobe Illustrator CS5


Perspective Drawing in Adobe Illustrator CS5 by Gaurav Jain, Kaushik Agarwala
Ad.be Press | 2011 | ISBN: 032173341X, 0321733428 | 133 pages | PDF | 6,3 MB


Adobe Illustrator CS5 brings to users a hitherto new paradigm of vector drawing – perspective or “3D-like” drawing. The scores of questions asked by pre-release testers of Illustrator CS5 due to lack of acquaintance with the terminology of perspective motivated the authors—members of the Illustrator development team— to write this book. Perspective drawing is a relatively specialized domain pursued by technical artists and draftsmen while Illustrator caters to a wide array of professionals and hobbyists ranging from traditional graphic designers and package designers to web and interactive designers. The authors’ goal has been to bridge that gap. By explaining the concepts of linear perspective, they have tried to make the entire book self-contained as much as possible; however, basic exposure to the previous versions of Adobe Illustrator is assumed.

The book begins with describing the way perspective works in the real world. Then the perspective drawing features in Illustrator CS5 are introduced, beginning with working in Perspective View, followed by lessons in drawing and creating and transforming shapes in perspective. More advanced topics like moving objects in 3D and working with text and symbols are covered next, and finally the authors walk the reader through the construction of a simple scene. A Glossary and Appendices (dealing with scripting) round out the book.
