Eden by Design
"Eden by Design is a compelling and fascinating description of a possible Los Angeles that never came to be. Greg Hise and William Deverell have resurrected the Olmsted Brothers' 1930 plan for Los Angeles County, and then, in a wonderful introduction, put the plan in context so that to read it now is to see not only what seemed dangerous and possible in 1930 but also how and why one route to the present was chosen over others. In their hands, the plan acts like a ghost of Los Angeles, reminding us about a vanished past, lost possibilities, and the secrets that our present masks."—Richard White, author of The Organic Machine "The Report is not only a vital document in the history of Los Ang...
On the Edge of the Law
The Valley of South Texas is a region of puzzling contradictions. Despite a booming economy fueled by free trade and rapid population growth, the Valley typically experiences high unemployment and low per capita income. The region has the highest rate of drug seizures in the United States, yet its violent crime rate is well below national and state averages. The Valley's colonias are home to the poorest residents in the nation, but their rates of home ownership and intact two-parent families are among the highest in the country for low-income residential areas. What explains these apparently irreconcilable facts? Since 1982, faculty and students associated with the Borderlife Research Projec...
Women Leading Education Across the Continents
Women Leading Education across the Continents is the first collection of research about and stories of women in basic and higher education leadership from every region of the globe. The chapters are authored by scholars representing every continent, including a keynote from the first all female team to traverse Antarctica. The book captures not only statistical data about the position of women in basic and higher education in over 17 countries, but relates compelling insights and stories about the challenges that women face in leadership, the limited access to education by young women, and some strategies for success that have fanned a flame to light the way for both women and men to follow toward equity and social justice.
The Umbrella Option
Book Summary Special agent in charge of the Miami field office, Homeland Security Investigations, Jake Stein is a fast burner within the ranks of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The Brooklyn native has a history of solving cases involving drug smuggling, human trafficking, and more. He starts to hear some "noise" about possible terrorist movements in his AOR (area of responsibility). Unknown to him, terrorists are planning to smuggle a nuclear device onto a cruise ship, sail it into Miami, and take out most of South Florida. Dino Tucci is a capo with the Battelli crime family in Rhode Island and unwittingly helps the terrorists carry out their mission. Now he's fuming, wants revenge, and tries to stop another strike against his country. The feds, the mob, and even a washed-up television actor are all trying to stop what could be the next 9/11 type of attack in this thrilling story of international terrorism and national security.

This is because the level of social acceptance that the company achieves affects consumer trust, employee commitment, and access to credit or support from suppliers. This book examines these relationships to discover the best way to align corporate behaviour with the interests, values and preferences of stakeholders. It features contributions on topics such as marketing, emerging technologies, women in entrepreneurship, sports and tourism.
