Book Description
This Handbook adopts a traditional definition of the subject, and focuses primarily on the explanation of international transactions in goods, services, and assets, and on the main domestic effects of those transactions.
The first volume deals with the "real side" of international economics. It is concerned with the explanation of trade and factor flows, with their main effects on goods and factor prices, on the allocation of resources and income distribution and on economic welfare, and also with the effects on national policies designed explicitly to influence trade and factor flows. In other words, it deals chiefly with microeconomic issues and methods.
The second volume deals with the "monetary side" of the subject. It is concerned with the balance of payments adjustment process under fixed exchange rates, with exchange rate determination under flexible exchange rates, and with the domestic ramifications of these phenomena. Accordingly, it deals mainly with economic issues, although microeconomic methods are frequently utilized, especially in work on expectations, asset markets, and exchange rate behavior.

Book Description
The Handbook on the Economics of Giving, Reciprocity and Altruism provides a comprehensive set of reviews of literature on the economics of nonmarket voluntary transfers. The foundations of the field are reviewed first, with a sequence of chapters that present the hard core of the theoretical and empirical analyses of giving, reciprocity and altruism in economics, examining their relations with the viewpoints of moral philosophy, psychology, sociobiology, sociology and economic anthropology. Secondly, a comprehensive set of applications are considered of all the aspects of society where nonmarket voluntary transfers are significant: family and intergenerational transfers; charity and charitable institutions; the nonprofit economy; interpersonal relations in the workplace; the Welfare State; and international aid.
*Every volume contains contributions from leading researchers
*Each Handbook presents an accurate, self-contained survey of a particular topic
*The series provides comprehensive and accessible surveys

Book Description
This is a book for human resource professionals, academics, researchers and independent consultants who are engaged in assessing other people at work. It places assessment in its political, economic, social and organizational context, and provides a critical guide to emergent issues in both research and practice. The contributors to the book originate from countries in Europe, North America and Asia and provide a vital perspective for the rapid international developments in selection and assessment in the 1990s and beyond.
Book Description
The second volume of the Handbook of Defense Economics addresses defense needs, practices, threats, and policies in the modern era of globalization. This new era concerns the enhanced cross-border flows of all kinds (e.g., capital and labor flows, revolutionary rhetoric, guerrillas, and terrorists) including the spillovers of benefits and costs associated with public goods and transnational externalities (i.e., uncompensated interdependencies affecting two or more nations). These ever-increasing flows mean that military armaments and armies are less able to keep out security threats. Thus, novel defense and security barriers are needed to protect borders that are porous to terrorists, pollutants, political upheavals, and conflicts. Even increased trade and financial flows imply novel security challenges and defenses. Globalization also underscores the importance of a new set of institutions (e.g., the European Union and global governance networks) and agents (e.g., nongovernmental organizations and partnerships).
This volume addresses the security challenges in this age of globalization, where conflicts involve novel tactics, new technologies, asymmetric warfare, different venues, and frightening weapons. Volume 2 contains topics not covered in volume 1 i.e., civil wars, peacekeeping, economic sanctions, the econometrics of arms races, conversion, peace economics, and the interface of trade, peace, and democracy. Volume 2 also revisits topics from volume 1, where there has been a significant advancement of knowledge i.e., conflict analysis, terrorism, arms races, arms trade, military manpower, and arms industries. All of the main securities concerns of today are analyzed. Chapters are written by the leading contributors in the topic areas.
*Up-to-date surveys on the pressing defense issues: theoretical, empirical and policy issues.
*Coverage of theoretical and empirical studies of terrorism.
*Contributions by the leading researchers in the field of defense economics.
Customer Reviews:
globalisation => ?.......2007-06-04
The book visits the intersection of economics, politics and military spending. Many facets are studied. Most notably, how the problem of terrorism might affect the choices of what expenditures are made. Where it is observed that traditional defense budget items that assume a conventional opponent might require rethinking. Large expensive items like the latest planes and ships could be moot in combating an insurgency.
Another topic is how the economic issue of globalisation can affect the defense budget. It might be increasingly difficult to confine the production of military hardware to one nation, when subcontracting could be offshored. Nor is the trend likely to abate any time soon. One benefit is that some items could be cheaper to procure. Something of consideration to any government striving to balance its annual budget.
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Strategy is a two-volume set on the key subject areas and issues currently under discussion in the field of strategy. It unites a team of contributors who are all authorities on the topic of their chapter. The handbook will be of considerable value to researchers, graduate students, and teachers whose interest in the subject area has advanced beyond that of the traditional textbooks, and to managers and consultants who seek an authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date discussion of the fundamentals of strategy. Volume One focuses on two major areas: first, the various different approaches to strategy, and secondly, the development of competitive or business unit strategy, where the pursuit of sustainable competitive advantage is the key objective. Volume Two looks at the challenges and choices for the corporation under four main headings: Corporate Strategy; International Strategy; Strategies of Organizational Change; and Strategic Flexibility and Uncertainty.

Customer Reviews:
She does it again!!.......2004-02-13
This is a great resource, whether you are trying to piece together your own writing group, deciding how to choose a group to join, or hoping to reinvigorate your current group. Ms. Reeves offers plenty of practical advice, with true-to-life examples. This is a great follow-up to her collection of writing prompts, A Writer's Book of Days, which I have used almost daily for the past four years!
Writing Alone, Writing Together/No longer alone........2003-07-15
As a lifetime lone writer, I owe Judy Reeves for pulling me-and other fellow writers-out of our caves. This review is not to undermine other books on the subject, for they all have contributed much. What is different about her book, is that words come from the heart with such a direct and deep understanding, they have no other way but to settle in the reader's heart. It sometimes soundss like she knows-and it matters to her-that we benefit from it. As someone who has worked with many writer's groups, she knows their doubts and confusions. Not only does she address the problems of writing in a group, but reveals solutions to help us deal with what we so affectionately call the "block". Although her second book does talk of "writing alone", it succeeds to open a new door to the pleasures and benefits of "writing together". Not only is the book a master's guide for the lost writer, but she connects with the reader and shows how to stop the distraction before it stops the artist. To me, this is a constant guide to fall back on time and again. It is a pleasure to share it with friends and I'll continue to make a gift of it to other fellow writers.
A Writing Guru For Our Time.......2003-06-08
With this book, Judy Reeves secures her place as the best "writer about writing" we have. In this finely crafted work, as well as in her "A Writer's Book of Days," Ms. Reeves has single-handedly rescued thousands of writers from the fears and insecurities that can cripple even the most talented scribes. If you are serious about writing, wait no longer--BUY THIS BOOK, and write, write, write!
Comprehensive, practical, and inspiring guide to writing.......2003-05-30
I found this book very helpful with the nitty gritty stuff about organizing my writing and working with a critique group and classes. It was also quite inspiring and full of ideas about how to write, where to write, who to write with, how to critique, how to revise, etc.
It helped enormously when three other writers and I formed an online critique group. Any questions we had, the book answered. It also gave invaluable suggestions for improving our group and our writing.
The author, Judy Reeves, has lead all kinds of writing groups and classes and gives concrete examples of what works best. Her book is well-organized, and an enjoyable read to boot.
Superb Resource for All Writers.......2003-05-23
Judy Reeves' latest writer's helper is chock full of supportive hints, tremendous insights and guidelines to forming, participating and getting the most out of a writing group. In her clear, concise and genial manner, Ms. Reeves breaks down the "ins & outs" of what writing groups can offer to either neophyte or established writers. It is apparent that Ms. Reeves has garnered much understanding and is excited to share information on how to participate in a writing group-the pages and margins of this book are brimming with assignments, suggestions, prompts, quotes, checklists, everything a writer might need to get going. This book walks the reader/writer through scenarios and suggestions, offering advice of how to start or find an established group and what to do once you are there. She hits on some of the basics, like how to make time to write in our busy lives, to understanding the "Qualities of a Good Group, all the way to dealing with the dreaded "Bores, Whiners and Thugs." She's masterfully included a "how to" guide for the process of reading and critiquing other's people's work. Her "Guidelines for Writing Practice" are worth the cost of this book alone. As with her previous book, "A Writer's Book of Days," Judy Reeves goes for the bull's eye and gets it.

a classic example of mismeasurement due to category error.......1999-08-05
This report represents a classic example of limited inquiry in academic pursuits by relentlessly ignoring category error (insufficient definitions) as challenged since the early '90s by Mandel (Businessweek 5/18/94) and others (Edupage 2/21/95). It is now finally contradicted by the NAICS data (USA Today 3/20/99).

So out of print........2006-06-06
I have owned a copy of this book since 2000. Careers have changed since this book's release. Some of the writing seems so very dated now. For instance, the candle making or gift basket making for profit. That's been done to death. Unless someone can find an unfulfilled niche, drop it! Also, some of these career titles in 2000 can be fleshed out into dreamier jobs in 2006. For instance, one could combine "career counselor" with "motivational speaker" and "time management specialist" and forge ahead as a "life and career coach." One may consider "stress management counselor" and "wellness instructor" and spin that into "certified hypotherapist."
This book feels like a great start! Unfortunately, I fear the advice given will steer a potential entrepreneur in the wrong direction. The author didn't do her research. The reported start-up costs and prospective salaries feel under or over blown. The author suggests a nutrition consultant may earn up to $30 per hour, yet she lists the annual salary as low as $10,000. I did the math. Best case scenario, a nutrition consultant earns $30 an hour. Her annual salary for a forty hour work week would then be closer to $60,000. Where then did the author come up with the $10,000?
The author lists start up costs for a massage therapist to range between $1000 and $5000. This fee may include equipment, insurance and marketing, but what about the training needed for certification? A good program may cost $7000. A prospective massage therapist could look forward to spending upwards of $10,000 for start-up, and then some. One can't just blink one's eyes and become a massage therapist. The bottom line: This book doesn't measure up to other good guides out there.
Helpful.......2000-10-12
Katina Jones writes this book in a concise and helpful manner. She includes possibilities and cautions for the over zealous. Expert Advice - comments from a person in the area I'm entering gave reality suggestions from someone who's "been there". Ordered this book yesterday to send as a gift.
Not too inspiring........2000-04-26
Yes there are 150 ideas in this particular book, but I found very few ideas interesting and most ideas too far-fetched for my taste. The book also defines minimal start-up fees ranging from $500-$1,000. Is that minimal? A majority of the qualifications needed to run these ideas require some sort of formal training, so you can't just get up and go. The book also claims that most of these prospective business ideas might be already aquired hobbies...I don't think so. Most of the ideas are far-fetched and truthfully lame, which I'm sorry to say was a big upset. I'm not inspired, just disappointed I have to purchase another book.
