African elephants are facing the biggest crisis in their five million year history, with tens of thousands killed each year to feed ravenous demand in Asia, the United States, and elsewhere. In this market, price tags are as deadly as bullets, and as the bidding for ivory tusks and carvings skyrockets, we must extend the fight to save these regal animals beyond Africa's savannahs and jungles -- to our own shores, where the illegal ivory trade has established a firm outpost.

With intelligence and clarity of observation, the author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities addresses the moral values that underpin working life. In Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs identifies two distinct moral syndromes—one governing commerce, the other, politics—and explores what happens when these two syndromes collide. She looks at business fraud and criminal enterprise, government’s overextended subsidies to agriculture, and transit police who abuse the system the are supposed to enforce, and asks us to consider instances in which snobbery is a virtue and industry a vice. In this work of profound insight and elegance, Jacobs gives us a new way of seeing all our public transactions and encourages us towards the best use of our natural inclinations.

The Effect Of Information On The Bidding And Survival Of Entrants In Procurement Auctions written by Dakshina G. De Silva and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with categories.
In government procurement auctions of construction contracts, entrants are typically less informed and bid more aggressively than incumbent firms. This bidding behavior makes them more susceptible to losses affecting their prospect of survival. In April of 2000, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation started releasing the internal cost estimates to complete highway construction projects. Using newly developed quantile regression approaches, this paper examines the impact of the policy change on aggressive entrants. First, we find that the information release eliminates the bidding differential between entrants and incumbents attributed to informational asymmetries. Second, we argue that the policy change affects the prospects of survival of entrants in the market. We find that those who used to exit the market relatively soon are now staying 37 percent longer, while at the median level bidding duration increased by roughly 68 percent. The policy has the potential to encourage entry in government procurement auctions and thus increase competition.

July 1997: Lebanon makes the British headlines when an Englishwoman dies in a landmine explosion near the town of Nabatiyeh. The dead woman is Aisha, a former model with an Egyptian mother, visiting the Middle East for the first time. Reporters descend on her Somerset home, linking her death with Princess Diana's high profile campaign for a ban on landmines. Amanda, a young features writer, is sent to Beirut to write a human interest story about Aisha's death. There she finds a city only just recovering from more than a decade of civil war. Lebanon is still occupied by Israel in the south, prompting a bloody conflict with Hezbollah, and she realises that thousands of ordinary Lebanese are trapped between two ruthless enemies. She begins to suspect that Aisha may have been another victim of this forgotten war. But with a wayward princess and a charismatic new prime minister making headlines at home, how can she make sure that justice is done for Aisha - and for Lebanon?

In this third volume of Memoirs, Robert Bowman again draws on Events and Experiences from his interesting International Legal and Commercial Consultancy career which has spanned over 4 decades.

In this exciting volume of ‘Dispatches from the Coal Face of Life’, the reader experiences 20 Tales of Survival – whether from the pastel confines of a Hospital ward or the exotic surrounds of an Indian Wedding to the ghosts of the bloody battlefields of Waterloo, Gettysburg and The Little Big Horn. In this new stimulating volume of hard hitting historic writing, the reader will feel the heat of a multi-million dollar football transfer deal and the pressure of a multi-million dollar ship auction to facing overwhelming odds in courageous battles for survival. From the first Chapter to the last, the reader is taken again on a memorable and sometimes poignant journey and emerges at the end somehow strengthened by the experience.
