Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Mahatma Gandhi
Author: Dennis Dalton
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231530390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

Gestión de la calidad. Hacia un modelo integrado de estándares.
Author: Amparo Zapata Gómez
Publisher: Universidad Nacional de Colombia
ISBN: 9587617924
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : es
Pages : 132
Book Description
Las últimas décadas han estado marcadas por un constante y acelerado dinamismo que ejerce una notable presión en el desempeño competitivo de las empresas. Temas tan diversos como la economía, la cultura, la tecnología, la educación y el desarrollo científico, las comunicaciones, entre otros, han determinado comportamientos en las sociedades y particularmente en las organizaciones, no concebidos con anterioridad. En este sentido las instituciones son mucho más influenciadas por el ambiente, pero también inciden más sobre él; un ejemplo de esta situación se observa en la cada vez más marcada, sociedad en red, donde las entidades son una empresa centrada en redes (network-centric Enterprise, como las llaman Buhman et al., 2005).
