Customs Modernization Handbook
Trade integration contributes substantially to economic development and poverty alleviation. In recent years much progress was made to liberalize the trade regime, but customs procedures are often still complex, costly and non-transparent. This situation leads to misallocation of resources.

It describes a number of key import procedures, that have proved particularly troublesome for customs administrations and traders, and provides practical guidelines to enhance their efficiency. The Handbook also reviews the appropriate legal framework for customs operations as well as strategies to combat corruption.
Viewpoint-based Flexible Information System Architectures

Still, there exist considerable issues constituting the need for a flexible ISA development, e.g. incomplete methodology for requirements in model-driven architectures, lacking qualitative methods for thorough definition and usage of viewpoints. Currently existing methods for information system architecture ...
Rome Sketchbook
"In Rome there is no guide, only one's curiosity about places, monuments and sculptures, as unveiled in this collection of watercolours by Fabrice Moireau. According to Dominique Fernandez, "one must leave it to chance and wander aimlessly", because pleasure "is found where least expected". With only their quill and brush, the author and illustrator capture the different faces of Rome-Ancient Rome, Imperial Rome, rome of the Baroque, as well as modern Rome -- and invite us to discover the masterpieces of this "eternal city"."--P [4] of cover

Notre nourriture, notre énergie, notre santé, notre argent... Dans bien des domaines, des logiques mondialisées dirigent notre quotidien, non sans dérives. Il existe pourtant des alternatives : un mouvement de rééquilibrage se développe, qui réhabilite le local, les circuits courts, le développement durable, la démocratie. Parti à la rencontre de nombreux entrepreneurs qui se sont engagés dans cette voie, Raphaël Souchier rapporte leurs expériences, de la création de systèmes locaux de nourriture à la relocalisation industrielle, de l'invention d'outils de financement à celle de médias de proximité. Il s'intéresse en particulier au mouvement Balle, pionnier de cette nouv...

Illustré par de nombreux exemples concrets de stratégies de changement réussi, cet ouvrage s’adresse aux acteurs de l’entreprise et, plus généralement, à tous ceux qui souhaitent faire évoluer les règles et les valeurs de l’activité économique. Ils y trouveront les outils pour relever le défi d’une économie intégrant les enjeux d’un développement plus durable. Ouvrage collectif issu des travaux du Think Tank Centralien, et animé par B. de Guillebon et P. Nollet.
Florence Sketchbook
Florence − capital of Tuscany, birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO Word Heritage Site − is shown in this book through the depictions of its architectural wealth, iconic monuments and its less well-known areas. From churches to museums, gardens to palaces, and small squares to twisting narrow streets, Fabrice Moireau has created a vivid portrait of the city where the Medicis, Leonardo da Vinci and Dante Alighieri once lived. The artist's palette reveals the grandeur of the history of Florence, as well as its charms and atmosphere.
Venice Sketchbook
One of Europe's most beautiful cities is celebrated through the talents of artist Fabrice Moireau Venice, a mosaic of over 100 islands, many connected by the 400 bridges which span its famous canals, is possibly the most romantic city in the world.

Now its fading glories - the canals and palaces, monuments and churches - battle with the elements, yet remain breathtakingly beautiful. Artist Fabrice Moireau showcases Venice's grand attractions and hidden charms through his watercolour paintings and pencil sketches.
