Youth Entrepreneurship and Local Development in Central and Eastern Europe
This book analyses the opportunities and barriers for youth entrepreneurship amid systemic change in Central and Eastern Europe. The authors cover different aspects of youth entrepreneurship and its contribution to the debate on youth unemployment in transition economies. The book discusses the wide-spread over-optimism regarding youth entrepreneurship, self-employment, and its impact on economic innovation and job creation, resulting from a disregard of critical contextual features and the characteristics of young entrepreneurs themselves. The authors give due acknowledgment of the importance of both factors and so fully understand the impediments to youth entrepreneurship, especially in a transition context. Furthermore, they seek to assess the opportunities and constraints of promotion policies in transition economies. Most importantly, the book provides the first empirical contribution to youth entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe by offering a representative number of case studies. The book will be invaluable reading for scholars and students of transition and developing countries, particularly those with an interest in entrepreneurship.
Murder at Gates Landing
Edgar Wheeler was a successful businessman who was despised by everyone who knew him. He abused his wife, bullied his children, and cheated his business associates. And despite his involvement in at least three suspicious deaths, he avoided prosecution as he manipulated his way into a small fortune. When Wheeler was bludgeoned to death at the SeaVista Inn on Gates Island, California, Healy and Inspector Tony Montgomery pursued the investigation, gathering information about the victim and suspects, and through flashbacks it became clear that everyone had a powerful motive. Wheelers wife, his lawyer, his daughter, the innkeeper, and even the maid were serious suspects. A second lawyer became the prime suspect, but she was also murdered. Healy and Montgomery realized that the Golden Octagon, a stolen Chinese antiquity, was integral to the murders and the investigation. Then as they closed in on the killer, there was a third murder. Healy eliminated all the false leads and ultimately illuminated the trail of clues that led to the killer.

It provides a comprehensive description of, and reference to, the iostreams and locales classes, showing how to put them to use and offering advanced information on customizing and extending their basic operation. Written by two experts involved with the development of the standard, this book reveals the rationale behind the design of the APIs and points ...
The ACE Programmer's Guide
This book analyzes the application of the legal principle of non-discrimination in the context of energy network operation. Since the early 1990s, the duty not to discriminate has applied to energy network operators, in order to achieve a liberalized European energy market in which European consumers have a free and real choice of energy supplier. The book provides guidance to those working in the context of the non-discrimination obligation, such as energy network operators, regulatory authorities, national courts, and other energy market players, as well as those studying the rules for (academic) research purposes.
