VICTIMES AU BANC DES ACCUSÉS
Le gérant de crédit d'une institution bancaire du Québec se fait enlever un soir d'été en 1977. Les ravisseurs l'emmènent à une cinquantaine de kilomètres de là, l'enferment dans un cachot souterrain et exigent de ses employeurs qu'ils paient une forte rançon pour sa libération. Les autorités mandatent un groupe d'élite pour diriger l'enquête qui piétinera pendant des mois. La stratégie utilisée soumettra l'otage et ses proches à des pressions insupportables tant de la part des policiers que de certains médias. Cette approche suscitera éventuellement chez les lecteurs et auditeurs des doutes quant à l'identité des coupables et entachera ainsi à jamais la réputation de...

In This Together
In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of "network climate action"—the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change. Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change. With easy-to-follow dos and don'ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

Precision Pricing
"Setting the 'right' price is one of the key management tasks that drive a firm's performance. Even small price variations can have a major impact on sales and profitability. Therefore, it is important for managers to know consumers' willingness to pay as precisely as possible in order to harvest their product's profit potential as much as possible. This book will help you get your price right!" Professor Dr. Dr. Z. John Zhang The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
International Trade in Forest Products
Because of the long-standing Canada-U.S. lumber trade dispute and the current pressure on the world's forests as a renewable energy source, much attention has been directed toward the modelling of international trade in wood products. Two types of trade models are described in this book: one is rooted in economic theory and mathematical programming, and the other consists of two econometric/statistical models--a gravity model rooted in theory and an approach known as GVAR that relies on time series analyses. The purpose of the book is to provide the background theory behind models and facilitate readers in easily constructing their own models to analyse policy questions that they wish to add...
Historians in Cairo
There can be few if any historians working in the wide field of Middle East Studies--and certainly none in the world of Islamic art and architecture--who are unacquainted with historian and archaeologist George Scanlon. At different times from the mid-1950s to the present day he has lived, worked, and studied in Egypt. For a major part of that period, he has been associated with the American University in Cairo, where he is currently professor of Islamic art and architecture in the Department of Arabic Studies. Although diverse in subject matter, the essays collected here in his honor together present a composite picture of Cairo, and more broadly of Islamic history and culture, from early m...
Absolutely Postcolonial
This innovative book provides an incisive critique of well-established positions in postcolonial theory and a dramatic expansion in the range of interpretative tools available. Peter Hallward gives substantial readings of four significant writers whose work invites, to varying degrees, a singular interpretation of postcolonialism: Edouard Glissant, Charles Johnson, Mohammed Dib, and Severo Sarduy. Using a singular interpretation of postcolonialism is central to the argument this book makes, and to understanding the postcolonial paradigm.
