Meg Wilkinson, Canada's first woman veterinarian, leaves her Halifax practice after a tragedy in her private life and heads to Yukon Territory, drawn by the sled dogs she has come to admire. When she arrives in Dawson City in 1897, the exciting and tumultuous gold rush is just getting underway.
Strategy is only as brilliant as its execution. Strategy execution is the last competitive advantage, and strength, speed and agility in execution are more important than a perfectly mapped-out strategy based on feasibility and predictability. 80% how-to with 50 innovation methods and new business models. Strategy = Execution is for leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs who view strategy execution as their principal job instead of strategy definition.

An interdisciplinary exploration of the meanings of hair in Asia from classical times to contemporary contexts.
Examines indigenous worldview and myth to challenge the prevailing notion that hot-cold reasoning of health and illness in Latin America is a product of the Hippocratic humoral doctrine brought by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century.
News headlines warn of rivalries and competing nations across Asia and the Pacific, even as powerful new cross-border relations form as never before. This book looks behind the Asia-Pacific curtain: at the new forms of social, economic, and political integration taking place through a global capitalism that is rife with contradictions, inequality, and crisis. We are moved beyond traditional conceptualizations of the inter-state system with its nation-state competition as the core organizing principle of world capitalism and the principal institutional framework that shapes the makeup of global social forces. These important studies examine and debate over how there is a growing transnationality of material (economic) relations in the global era, as well as an emerging transnationality of many social and class relations. How does transnational capitalist class fractions, new middle strata, and labor undergird globalization in Asia and Oceania? How have states and institutions become entwined with such processes? This book provides insight into a field of dynamic change.
The MCPR Workshop is an interdisciplinary computer science/mathematics event. It takes place once very fourth year and is aimed at evaluating the latest progress in modeling techniques in the area of performance and reliability engineering of computer/communication systems. Like its predecessor, the workshop from which these papers originate aimed at stimulating the exchange of ideas and experience among scientists active in mathematics research relevant to performance and reliability aspects of the design of computer and communication systems. The spirit of these exchanges and the main issues at stake are defined by an unceasing and difficult quest for models and techniques which are in the interests of mathematical tractability and accuracy, and at the same time allow for enough realism so as to yield results which are pertinent to system designers. This was reflected in the present program, which proposed a balanced and varied mixture of approximation techniques, of simulation methods and of analytical results on queueing, matrix and Petri net models.
