The Box How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger - Second Edition with a new chapter by the author【電子書籍】[ Marc Levinson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. ＜em＞The Box＜/em＞ tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.＜/p＞＜p＞But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.＜/p＞＜p＞Published in hardcover on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. Now with a new chapter, ＜em＞The Box＜/em＞ tells the dramatic story of how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur turned containerization from an impractical idea into a phenomenon that transformed economic geography, slashed transportation costs, and made the boom in global trade possible.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,237円
Mini Habits Smaller Habits, Bigger Results【電子書籍】[ Stephen Guise ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Discover the Life-Changing Strategy of This Worldwide Bestseller in 17 Languages!＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Lasting Change For Early Quitters, Burnouts, The Unmotivated, And Everyone Else Too＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When I decided to start exercising consistently 10 years ago, this is what actually happened:＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞I tried "getting motivated." It worked sometimes.＜/li＞＜li＞I tried setting audacious big goals. I almost always failed them.＜/li＞＜li＞I tried to make changes last. They didn't.＜/li＞＜/ul＞＜p＞＜em＞Like most people who try to change and fail, I assumed that I was the problem.＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞Then one afternoon--after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise--I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs.＜/p＞＜p＞I was right.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Is There A Scientific Explanation For This?＜/strong＞＜br /＞ As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science--which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits--we've been doing it all wrong.＜/p＞＜p＞You can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. They don't work because they all require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do--that you can achieve lasting change.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞What's A Mini Habit?＜/strong＞＜br /＞ A mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day; its "too small to fail" nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. You will have no choice but to believe in yourself when you're always moving forward. The barrier to the first step is so low that even depressed or "stuck" people can find early success and begin to reverse their lives right away. And if you think one push-up a day is too small to matter, I've got one heck of a story for you!＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Aim For The First Step＜/strong＞＜br /＞ They say when you aim for the moon, you'll land among the stars. Well, that doesn't make sense, as the moon is closer than the stars. I digress. The message is that you should aim very high and even if you fall short, you'll still get somewhere. I've found the opposite to be true in regards to productivity and healthy behaviors. When you aim for the moon, you'll won't shoot because it's too far away. But when you aim for the step in front of you, you might just keep going and reach the moon.＜/p＞＜p＞I've used the Mini Habits strategy to get into the best shape of my life, read 10x more books, and write 4x as many words. It started from requiring one push-up from myself every day. How ridiculous is that? Not so ridiculous when you consider the science of the brain, habits, and willpower. The Mini Habits system works because it's how our brains are designed to change.＜/p＞＜p＞I relished the opportunity to share this life-changing strategy with the world. I loved writing Mini Habits. You'll see my passion in the content as well as the overall quality and presentation of the book.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Note:＜/strong＞ This book isn't for eliminating bad habits (though some principles could be useful for breaking habits). Mini Habits is a strategy to create permanent healthy habits. Some categories include: exercise, writing, reading, thinking positively, meditating, drinking water, eating healthy foods, etc.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	934円
A Smaller History of Greece: From the Earliest Times to the Roman Conquest【電子書籍】[ William Smith ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Greece is the southern portion of a great peninsula of Europe, washed on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea. It is bounded on the north by the Cambunian mountains, which separate it from Macedonia. It extends from the fortieth degree of latitude to the thirty-sixth, its greatest length being not more than 250 English miles, and its greatest breadth only 180. Its surface is considerably less than that of Portugal. This small area was divided among a number of independent states, many of them containing a territory of only a few square miles, and none of them larger than an English county. But the heroism and genius of the Greeks have given an interest to the insignificant spot of earth bearing their name, which the vastest empires have never equalled. The name of Greece was not used by the inhabitants of the country. They called their land HELLAS, and themselves HELLENES. At first the word HELLAS signified only a small district in Thessaly, from which the Hellenes gradually spread over the whole country. The names of GREECE and GREEKS come to us from the Romans, who gave the name of GRAECIA to the country and of GRAECI to the inhabitants. The two northerly provinces of Greece are THESSALY and EPIRUS, separated from each other by Mount Pindus. Thessaly is a fertile plain enclosed by lofty mountains, and drained by the river Peneus, which finds its way into the sea through the celebrated Vale of Tempe. Epirus is covered by rugged ranges of mountains running from north to south, through which the Achelous the largest river of Greece, flows towards the Corinthian gulf. In entering central Greece from Thessaly the road runs along the coast through the narrow pass of Thermopylae, between the sea and a lofty range of mountains. The district along the coast was inhabited by the EASTERN LOCRIANS, while to their west were DORIS and PHOCIS, the greater part of the latter being occupied by Mount Parnassus, the abode of the Muses, upon the slopes of which lay the town of Delphi with its celebrated oracle of Apollo. South of Phocis is Boeotia, which is a large hollow basin, enclosed on every side by mountains, which prevent the waters from flowing into the sea. Hence the atmosphere was damp and thick, to which circumstance the witty Athenians attributed the dullness of the inhabitants. Thebes was the chief city of Boeotia. South of Boeotia lies ATTICA, which is in the form of a triangle, having two of its sides washed by the sea and its base united to the land. Its soil is light and dry and is better adapted for the growth of fruit than of corn. It was particularly celebrated for its olives, which were regarded as the gift of Athena (Minerva), and were always under the care of that goddess. Athens was on the western coast, between four and five miles from its port, Piraeus. West of Attica, towards the isthmus, is the small district of MEGARIS.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	640円
Smaller is Better【電子書籍】[ John McCutcheon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Much of the 20th and 21st Century has been about "Bigger is Better" or "Get Big or Get Out". All well and good for the top 5% but how has it worked out at the grassroots level.＜/p＞＜p＞I consider there is a human limit to organizations, be they public, private or socially orientated, being managed in a efficient and effective manner. The late 20th century and early 21st is littered with large corporations either stagnating or folding like General Motors. The old USSR.＜/p＞＜p＞I started writing this book in the 1980's. Then the Berlin Wall came down and it was meant to be a brave new world, and I dropped the uncompleted book. Globalization, Corporatization, and Crony Capitalization are going gang busters. Mum and Pop stores shut, small and medium towns economically shrink while distribution centers are created on a Global distribution basis. I restarted “Smaller is Better” again, was surprised at how little I wanted to change, and now finished.＜/p＞＜p＞My book "Smaller is Better" is not a prescription on how to cure the world's ills, it is intended to prompt people to ask the right questions and figure out the solution to meet their particular social and economic needs and aspirations.＜/p＞＜p＞My Contact - smallerisbetter@bigpond.com＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	683円
The Faster I Walk, The Smaller I Am【電子書籍】[ Kjersti A. Skomsvold ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Mathea Martinsen has never been good at dealing with other people. After a lifetime, her only real accomplishment is her longevity: everyone she reads about in the obituaries has died younger than she is now. Afraid that her life will be over before anyone knows that she lived, Mathea digs out her old wedding dress, bakes some sweet cakes, and heads out into the worldーto make her mark. She buries a time capsule out in the yard. (It gets dug up to make room for a flagpole.) She wears her late husband's watch and hopes people will ask her for the time. (They never do.) Is it really possible for a woman to disappear so completely that the world won't notice her passing? ＜em＞The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am＜/em＞ is a macabre twist on the notion that life "must be lived to the fullest."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,496円
Frustrated Majorities How Issue Intensity Enables Smaller Groups of Voters to Get What They Want【電子書籍】[ Seth J. Hill ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Democratic elections do not always deliver what majorities want. Many conclude from frustrated majorities a failure of democracy. This book argues the opposite may be true ? that politicians who represent their constituents sometimes frustrate majorities. A theory of issue intensity explains how the intensity with which different voters care about political issues drives key features of elections, political participation, representation, and public policy. Because candidates for office are more certain of winning the votes of those who care intensely, they sometimes side with an intense minority over a less intense majority. Voters who care intensely communicate their intensity by taking political action: volunteering, contributing, and speaking out. From questions like whose voices should matter in a democracy to whose voices actually matter, this rigorous book blends ideas from democratic theory and formal political economy with new empirical evidence to tackle a topic of central importance to American politics.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,738円
The Elephant in the Room One Fat Man's Quest to Get Smaller in a Growing America【電子書籍】[ Tommy Tomlinson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An NPR Best Book of the Year: This story of a man’s reckoning with his 460-pound body is “warm and funny and honest . . . genuinely unputdownable” (Curtis Sittenfeld, ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞?bestselling author of Romantic Comedy).＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When he was almost fifty years old, journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Tommy Tomlinson weighed an astonishingーand dangerousー460 pounds, at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, unable to climb a flight of stairs without having to catch his breath, or travel on an airplane without buying two seats. Raised in a family that loved food, he’d been aware of the problem for years, seeing doctors and trying diets from the time he was a preteen. But nothing worked, and every time he tried to make a change, it didn’t go the way he plannedーin fact, he wasn’t sure that he really wanted to change.＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞The Elephant in the Room＜/em＞, Tomlinson chronicles his lifelong battle with weightーand hits the road to meet other members of the plus-sized tribe in an attempt to understand how, as a nation, we got to this point. From buying a Fitbit to contemplating the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, America’s “capital of food porn,” Tomlinson takes a candid and sometimes brutal look at the everyday experience of being constantly aware of your size. He confronts these issues head-on and recounts the practical steps he has to take to lose weight by the endーin a memoir that will resonate with anyone who’s grappled with addiction, shame, or self-consciousness.＜/p＞＜p＞“What could have been a wallow in memoir self-pity is raised to art by Tomlinson’s wit and prose.” ー＜em＞Rolling Stone＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞“Heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud . . .

China on Video Smaller-Screen Realities【電子書籍】[ Paola Voci ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞China On Video＜/em＞ is the first in-depth study that examines smaller-screen realities and the important role they play not only in the fast-changing Chinese mediascape, but also more broadly in the practice of experimental and non-mainstream cinema. At the crossroads of several disciplinesーfilm, media, new media, media anthropology, visual arts, contemporary China area studies, and cultural studies--this book reveals the existence of a creative, humorous, but also socially and politically critical "China on video", which locates itself outside of the intellectual discourse surrounding both auteur cinema and digital art.＜/p＞＜p＞By describing smaller-screen movies, moviemaking and viewing as ＜em＞light＜/em＞ realities, Voci points to their "insignificant" weight in terms of production costs, distribution size, profit gains, intellectual or artistic ambitions, but also their deep meaning in defining an alternative way of seeing and understanding the world. The author proposes that ＜em＞lightness＜/em＞ is a concept that can usefully be deployed to describe the moving image, beyond the specificity of recent new media developments and which can, in fact, help us rethink previous cinematic practices in broad terms both spatially and temporally.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,877円

Summary of Mini Habits by Stephen Guise Smaller Habits, Bigger Results【電子書籍】[ getAbstract AG ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Personal development blogger Stephen Guise offers a self-improvement program that promises to be “too small to fail.” A “mini habit” is a positive behavior that you perform in its smallest component until it becomes second nature. An exercise program becomes one push-up; a reading goal becomes one sentence. The willpower you need to succeed falls to zero. Guise guarantees that repetition and repeated success can turn any mini habit into a new lifelong pattern. His concept is beautiful in its simplicity. ＜em＞getAbstract＜/em＞ recommends Guise’s advice to anyone who wants to make a positive change, even if you read just one sentence at a sitting.＜/p＞＜p＞This officially licensed summary of Mini Habits was produced by ＜strong＞getAbstract＜/strong＞, the world's largest provider of book summaries. getAbstract works with hundreds of the best publishers to find and summarize the most relevant content out there.

An Experiential View of Conflict in the Local Church: Focusing on Smaller and Medium-Sized Protestant Churches【電子書籍】[ Cleon E. Spencer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	There are several other books on the topic of conflict in the local congregation. They all make their contribution towards solutions to this problem. However, this brief work zeros in on specific happenings, how they affected the congregation and/or the minister, and are then followed by a denouement of each case. This book also suggests that in many cases there are practical remedies that from experience can be shown to work. Also included in this writing there are some general suggestions on how to approach the overall problem of such conflict in any church in which it may occur. As stated in the book, people are people. And as long as there are people there will be problems. But informed and fair handling can nearly always bring remedy or improvement. Even declaring a type of conflict unresolvable, and one party or the other walking away from it, is an improvement over continuous quarreling. Names of people and places are not used out of respect for the privacy of all concerned. About the Author: The author, Cleon Spencer, has had a varied experience with people, both within and outside the church. So with a people oriented mindset, he seeks, in this his third book, to bring his experiences to a unique focus on trouble spots that frequently exist in the administration area of a local church. Hopefully the authors descriptions of these troubles will help bring about understanding of them, which in turn will make the troubles more treatable. This being so, the local church thus treated, will be more likely to go on to become a successful congregation; which is the goal and purpose of the book. It is the authors sincere desire that this book will be effective in the above stated manner.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	562円

Mount Everest 1938 Whether these mountains are climbed or not, smaller expeditions are a step in the right direction【電子書籍】[ H.W. Tilman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞'Whether these mountains are climbed or not, smaller expeditions are a step in the right direction.'＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞＜p＞It's 1938, the British have thrown everything they've got at ＜strong＞Everest＜/strong＞ but they've still not reached the summit. War in Europe seems inevitable; the Empire is shrinking. Still reeling from failure in 1936, the British are granted one more permit by the Tibetans, one more chance to climb the mountain. Only limited resources are available, so can a small team be assembled and succeed where larger teams have failed?＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞H.W. Tilman＜/strong＞ is the obvious choice to lead a select team made up of some of the greatest British mountaineers history has ever known, including ＜strong＞Eric Shipton＜/strong＞, ＜strong＞Frank Smythe＜/strong＞ and ＜strong＞Noel Odell＜/strong＞. Indeed, Tilman favours this lightweight approach. He carries oxygen but doesn't trust it or think it ethical to use it himself, and refuses to take luxuries on the expedition, although he does regret leaving a case of champagne behind for most of his time on the mountain.＜/p＞＜p＞On the mountain, the team is cold, the weather very wintery. It is with amazing fortitude that they establish a camp six at all, thanks in part to a Sherpa going by the family name of ＜strong＞Tensing＜/strong＞. Tilman carries to the high camp, but exhausted he retreats, leaving Smythe and Shipton to settle in for the night. He records in his diary, 'Frank and Eric going wellーthink they may do it.' But the monsoon is fast approaching …＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞＜strong＞Mount Everest 1938＜/strong＞＜/em＞, first published in 1948, Tilman writes that it is difficult to give the layman much idea of the actual difficulties of the last 2,000 feet of Everest. He returns to the high camp and, in exceptional style, they try for the ridge, the route to the summit and those immense difficulties of the few remaining feet.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	960円

Smaller Cities in a World of Competitiveness【電子書籍】[ Peter Karl Kresl ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Much recent research in Urban Studies has concentrated on the notion of the ‘global city’ but discussion has also covered a larger set of mega cities, with populations in excess of 10 million. This analysis has begged the question of the optimal size for a city ? is larger always better?＜/p＞＜p＞Smaller Cities explores the advantages and disadvantages of different sized cities, trying to determine their place in the global economy and hierarchy. How can smaller cities gain or retain their competitiveness in a world of large cities? In a globalized world, the nation has perhaps been diminished as an economic actor, with fiscal shortcomings and political gridlock leaving cities more or less on their own in the task of enhancing their competitiveness and improving the economic lives of their residents. This book argues that smaller cities of varying population can be important actors in competitiveness and aims to bring attention to an area often overlooked by researchers. In short, are Pittsburgh, San Diego and Austin less competitive than London and Mumbai?＜/p＞＜p＞This volume will be of interest to students, researchers, and city professionals who work in urban economy and urban geography.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,343円
Budget Superpower How Russia Challenges the West with An Economy Smaller than Texas'【電子書籍】[ John Ruehl ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Kremlin’s ability to shape global affairs appeared decimated following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Coupled with the internal instability that gripped Russia in the 1990s, Moscow struggled to develop a coherent and effective foreign policy for almost a decade. But under President Vladimir Putin, Russia has steadily reemerged as one of the most significant countries in the worldーand one that is increasingly willing to challenge the United States.＜/p＞＜p＞In Budget Superpower, geopolitics journalist John P. Ruehl explores how Russia has achieved this feat, despite its relatively limited economic strength. The book is divided into eight chapters, each exploring a tool or approach of the Kremlin’s and how and where it has used this method to maximize Russia’s influence. Each chapter also analyzes the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of Russia’s strategies, as well as cautious predictions for how they may evolve in the future.＜/p＞＜p＞Russia’s determination to confront the United States has become increasingly apparent over the last decade, culminating in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In addition to demonstrating how Russia has effectively undermined the American-led global order, Budget Superpower will help readers understand why Russia has committed to this policy in the face of increasing push back and globally destabilizing consequences.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,003円
The Foreign Policy of Smaller Gulf States Size, Power, and Regime Stability in the Middle East【電子書籍】[ M?t? Szalai ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book studies how smaller Gulf states managed to increase their influence in the Middle East, oftentimes capitalising on their smallness as a foreign policy tool. By establishing a novel theoretical framework (the complex model of size), this study identifies specific ways in which material and perceptual smallness affect power, identity, regime stability, and leverage in international politics.＜/p＞＜p＞The small states of the Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates) managed to build up considerable influence in regional politics over the last decade, although their size is still considered an essential, irresolvable weakness, which makes them secondary actors to great powers such as Saudi Arabia or Iran. Breaking down explicit and implicit biases towards largeness, the book examines specific case studies related to foreign and security policy behaviour, including the Gulf wars, the Arab Uprisings, the Gulf rift, and the Abraham Accords.＜/p＞＜p＞Analysing the often-neglected small Gulf states, the volume is an important contribution to international relations theory, making it a key resource for students and academics interested in Small State Studies, Gulf studies, and the political science of the Middle East.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	7,343円
The AWA 1986: Great Talent/Smaller Crowds【電子書籍】[ Ken Phillips ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In many ways, 1986 was the most important year in the decline of the AWA. For some reason, people are fascinated with the downfall of the American Wrestling Association. And truth-be-told, I plead guilty to being a part of this group. I began watching the AWA in the early 1980's and kept watching it through the bitter end in 1991. While every year during the 1980's tells a different, enlightening story, 1986 may represent the biggest twelve-month-shift in the Association's proud history.＜/p＞＜p＞1980-1983 were "business as usual" for the AWA. They can even be considered better-than-usual due to the arrival of Hulk Hogan. The way Verne Gagne and Wally Karbo ran the AWA went unchanged from the 1970's into the 1980's. The one notable exception was the video library. The AWA began keeping more of their footage instead of taping over it. The reels were very expensive, so taping over previous shows made sense, but the AWA was learning about the future value of keeping their old shows.＜/p＞＜p＞The wrestling world in general did not change that much either. Promotors were generally honoring one another's territory claims with only occasional "turf wars" like in Detroit and Los Angeles. But the same promotors who energetically started the NWA in 1948 were heading toward retirement and were not looking to make major waves or new investments in their product.＜/p＞＜p＞In 1983 Vince McMahon took over a key program/time slot on WTBS. Vince's product flopped as fans wanted their more traditional NWA-style wrestling. But McMahon sold the slot to Crockett and the money from this sale was crucial in Vince building his war chest.＜/p＞＜p＞Late 1983 was also when Vince McMahon convinced Hulk Hogan to abandon his plans with the AWA and immediately jump ship to the WWF. 1984 signaled the start of a totally new era in wrestling. The war between the territory promoters and Vince was on.＜/p＞＜p＞During 1984 and 1985 the territory promotors saw their top talent taken by Vince McMahon. No longer were the owners of the territories discussing wrestlers' end-dates and start-dates. The WWF was hiring talent and they were, in most cases, leaving immediately. This left the AWA and NWA territories with broken story lines and diminished overall booking plans. It also left many territories without the key performers they were planning to showcase. McMahon also took over key television time slots on the usual local stations. Instead of tuning in and finding the local promotion, fans would often find the new WWF product instead.＜/p＞＜p＞This ebook serves as an eye-opening introduction to the AWA and a great supplement for longtime AWA fans. It is not an "encyclopedia" and does not have an insider's view of the association. I am a passionate fan of the AWA and have poured through tons of information in order to provide this material in an easy-to-follow format.＜/p＞＜p＞For many readers, the end-part of this book will be the real crown jewel. I have included links to books, shoot videos and youtube clips that you are sure to love. Searching for these items is very time consuming, but now you have a place to go to get your AWA-fix. Fans of other wrestling territories will also notice a ton of interesting items. Wrestlers always crossed territories so there are a lot of shoot interviews, books and matches from Dallas, New York, Memphis, Japan, Florida, etc.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	550円
Risk and Trading on London's Alternative Investment Market The Stock Market for Smaller and Growing Companies【電子書籍】[ J. Board ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The alternative investment market (AIM) has seen rapid growth over its 19 years, and has emerged as the market of choice for smaller, newer companies, both in the UK and abroad. However, it has often had a volatile reputation among investors, who have commonly perceived stock in the AIM as more risky than the main market. In this book, a group of leading financial analysts conduct an extensive empirical study to compare the relative volatility of two UK equity markets run by the London Stock Exchange, over a ten year period. They analyse the comparative risks involved in the alternative investment market, the market of growing companies, and the 'main market', the market for more established companies. This book analyses the volatility of the alternative investment market, using a variety of techniques and approaches. It compares the volatility of stocks in the markets, exploring variables such as size, industry, age and market switches. Using refined methods to focus on the difference between the markets, the authors provide a convincing study to challenge the idea that the alternative investment market is higher risk than the main market.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,076円

Turkish Entrepreneurship and Integration in Metropolises and Smaller Towns【電子書籍】[ Dirk Hollank ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1,0, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Wirtschaft / AIM), course: KUSO Prof. Dr. Iken, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Ethnic entrepreneurship has experienced significant development during the last decade. Today 8.7% of all immigrants in Germany run their own businesses (Plahuta, 2004, p.1). In the year 2003, 286.000 self-employed migrants were counted in Germany. Out of this number the Turks represent the biggest group with 60.000 entrepreneurships (Leicht, 2005, p.6). Of 10.000 Turkish workers 197 launched their own business as opposed to 122 business foundations among the German population (ibid, p.7). Even though the Turks outnumber the German business foundations, they also experience a higher rate in closedowns (ibid). In some German cities, four out of five Turkish business foundations fail, according to Dr. Ren? Leicht (2005, 'Die Rheinpfalz'). He opens the thesis that this high number is at least partly due to the fact that Turks rather prefer to open their businesses in branches and areas dominated by their own people. As a result of this concentration, Turkish businesses solely depend on the purchasing power of their fellow immigrants. Besides, they unnecessarily create a highly competitive market. Since the preference to live and work in an area inhabited primarily by one's own nationality indicates a rather limited integration, we are going to examine whether integration in general is a driver for financial business success.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	571円
