free book summaries, Product Description Can the euro challenge the supremacy of the U.S. dollar as a global currency? From the time Europe’s joint money was born, many have predicted that it would soon achieve parity with the dollar or possibly even surpass it. In reality, however, the euro has remained firmly planted in the dollar’s shadow. The essays collected in this volume explain why. Because of America’s external deficits and looming foreign debt, the dollar can never be as dominant as it once was. But Europe’s money is unable to mount an effective challenge. The euro suffers from a number of critical structural deficiencies, including an anti-growth bias that is built into the institutions of the monetary union and an ambiguous governance structure that sows doubts among prospective users. As recent events have demonstrated, members of the euro zone remain vulnerable to financial crisis. Moreover, lacking a single voice, the bloc continues to punch below its weight in monetary diplomacy. The world seems headed toward a leaderless monetary order, with several currencies in contention but none clearly dominant. This collection distils the views of one of the world’s leading scholars in global currency, and will be of considerable interest to students and scholars of international finance and international political economy.

free book summaries, Product Description International Environmental Risk Management: ISO 14000 and the Systems Approach gives readers an extensive analysis of practical applications of ISO 14000 and environmental compliance management systems. It offers a mixture of technical engineering advice, legal guidance, and common-sense business acumen. The authors explain the essentials of the standards - how they are being developed and what implications they present - and then discuss cost-benefit analyses, integration strategies, business risk control measures, litigation avoidance and legal expense reduction, and step-by-step guidance on achieving third-party certification.

Notwithstanding the comments from other reviewers, the authors fall a bit short of expectations. Several chapters are too short (voluntary programs and gap analyses as examples), and references are less than complete. The authors could have devoted more time to this important and much read subject matter.There are other more comprehensive books: The ISO 14000 Guide (Cascio) and Inside ISO 14000 (Sayer).Notwithstanding the comments from other reviewers, the authors fall a bit short of expectations. Several chapters are too short (voluntary programs and gap analyses as examples), and references are less than complete. The authors could have devoted more time to this important and much read subject matter.There are other more comprehensive books: The ISO 14000 Guide (Cascio) and Inside ISO 14000 (Sayer).Here's a new book that offers a different perspective on ISO 14000 than last year's crop of "basics" volumes. "International Environmental Risk Management: ISO 14000 and the Systems Approach" is one of the few books we've seen that mixes basic information on the EMS standard with a discussion of the CERES Principals, Paul Hawken's writings, and sustainability. The book is written by John Voorhees, director of the environmental law practice group of Isaacson, Rosenbaum, Wooks & Levy, and Robert A. Woellner, president of QUEST Management International, LLC; both are based in Denver, Colorado, USA. The authors discuss ways to use the global environmental management standards to manage impacts and risk, as well as legal strategies and voluntary initiatives that companies can use to reduce environmental risks. Placing ISO 14000 in a broader context, they conclude that "business must learn how to eliminate pollution, which will reduce risks and expenses and create opportunities for revenue growth. Environmental management systems may become the most expedient and effective means of transmitting the message to eneryone in the organization that they have an important role in any effort minimizing environmental impacts."

I am an independent owner operator i have been in buisness since i was 23 andin 03 i became an independent and this book is a FREKING JOKE it dosent tell you how to go find customers it dosent tell you about good load boards and dosent give you any goverment info that you should know about freight rate like i said it is a joke no good info at all dosent tell you any thing a waste of paper writen for a child it has big leters for you and cartoon drawings what a joooookkkkkkkeeeee thank you for reading reviewThis is a good overview for a buisness student. This book was not specific to Freight Brokerage, but general business start-up information for any business. The best advice I heard throughout the book was to go to work as an agent for a Freight Brokerage to learn about the business, plus some cautions that this is a fast paced, possibly high stress business environment. The free financial software did not work on my Windows Vista computer. The sample forms are useful if you are not familiar with accounting. There are resources at the end of the book for more information although I am not sure how valuable they are.The other review for this item appears to be for a book by the same or similar title and not these CDs. The CDs are excellent and answer a range of questions from what is a freight brokerage business to pricing services. There is a fair amount of basic business information on here but before you dismiss that as unneeded -- consider that most business fail not because of concept but because of basic business practices. Can't hurt to review the fundamentals.
