You can shop anywhere you like -- as long as it's Tesco The inexorable rise of supermarkets is big news but have we really taken on board what this means for our daily lives, and those of our children? In this searing analysis Andrew Simms, director of the acclaimed think-and-do-tank the New Economics Foundation and the person responsible for introducing 'Clone Towns' into our vernacular, tackles a subject none of us can afford to ignore. The book shows how the supermarkets -- and Tesco in particular -- have brought: " Banality -- homogenized high streets full of clone stores " Ghost towns -- superstores have drained the life from our town centres and communities " A Supermarket State -- this new commercial nanny state that knows more about you than you think " Profits from poverty -- shelves full of global plunder, produced for a pittance " Global food domination -- as the superstores expand overseas But there's change afoot, with evidence of the tide turning and consumer campaigns gaining ground. Simms ends with suggestions for change and coporate reformation to safeguard our communities and environment -- all over the world.

In Economic Survival Strategies of Turkish Migrants in London, “Karan shows how this collectively created social capital gradually acquired cultural capital, as the migrants’ children became familiar with the English language, and as the experience of running businesses in London was shared among the migrants. Alongside these processes, he sees the emergence of a new form of ethnic identification to ‘our people’ – the Türkiyeli – based on the sharing of common experiences. And this identification, he finds, is shared by both Kurdish and Turkish communities as well as by those with religious and non-religious beliefs. The book provides detailed insights into these migrant experiences, while also considering the theoretical explanations. It is a really welcome contribution for everyone concerned with the problems and challenges of integration and of identify today.” – Professor Steve Jefferys, London Metropolitan University, UK ““This study is about economic survival in the Turkish and Kurdish communities of North London with some interesting comparisons to the longer established Turkish Cypriot community. It is to be welcomed that the study spans macro and micro levels. Also to be welcomed is that it eschews the idea that identity and culture is fixed and unchanging, providing some fascinating and important examples to the contrary, and that it moves beyond essentially culturalist approaches to entrepreneurship and even more so, mainstream individualist ones.” – Professor Theo Nichols, Cardiff University, UK “Dr Karan noticed that two ethnic communities in conflictual relationships with each other in home country (Turkey) are marshalling collective resources in a very cooperative way across ethnic boundaries and forming small business ventures and thus contributing to the empowerment and upgrading of their households and communities.” – Professor Bahattin Akşit, Maltepe University, Istanbul, Turkey “This book based on semi-structured interviews and other material shows how the collapse of the textile industry in London pushed members of the Kurdish and Turkish communities to become business owners in catering and retail. Having relatively limited education and knowledge in the English language together with discrimination in the mainstream labor made the transition attractive. In addition UK’s legal framework and strong sense of solidarity within the groups made it possible to set up a business. However, competition is fierce and authorities hardly supportive. To stay in business owners, their family members and hired co-ethnics have to engage in long working hours leading to social isolation. Most business owners are men and relations within the family are patriarchal. I found this scholarly and well written book a valuable and welcomed contribution to the literature on how ethnic minorities in rich countries make their living.” – Bjorn Gustafsson, Senior Professor, Department of Social Work, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Research Fellow, Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), Bonn, Germany CONTENT AcknowledgementsAbout the AuthorForeword by Steve JefferysChapter One: IntroductionChapter Two: Analytical Tools and Theoretical Models in Understanding Ethnic EntrepreneurshipChapter Three: Cypriot, Turkish, and Kurdish Entrepreneurship in the UKChapter Four: Researching Turkish Entrepreneurs in LondonChapter Five: InterestsChapter Six: Social Networks and MobilisationChapter Seven: Opportunities and Constraints for KT BusinessesChapter Eight: ConclusionReferencesIndex

Waste written by Tristram Stuart and has been published by Penguin UK this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-07-02 with Nature categories.
With shortages, volatile prices and nearly one billion people hungry, the world has a food problem - or thinks it does. Farmers, manufacturers, supermarkets and consumers in North America and Europe discard up to half of their food - enough to feed all the world's hungry at least three times over. Forests are destroyed and nearly one tenth of the West's greenhouse gas emissions are released growing food that will never be eaten. While affluent nations throw away food through neglect, in the developing world crops rot because farmers lack the means to process, store and transport them to market. But there could be surprisingly painless remedies for what has become one of the world's most pressing environmental and social problems. Travelling from Yorkshire to China, from Pakistan to Japan, and introducing us to foraging pigs, potato farmers, freegans and food industry directors, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy, but also inspiring innovations and ways of making the most of what we have. Combining front-line investigation with startling new data, Waste shows how the way we live now has created a global food crisis - and what we can do to fix it.

Surveys and polls show consistently that most of us, including those in business, already know that the natural and social life support systems of the world are in trouble but that little is being done about it. Positively Responsible takes a unique look at this hot topic and considers how business leaders, groups of people taking collective action and whole countries can come to think differently about the world's problems. By closely examining the work of three well-known business leaders and taking examples from many industry-leading companies, the book reveals how a positive and sustainable approach can pay dividends in the future, both in terms of social and environment impact, and competitiveness. Combining sustainability expertise across all business sectors and valuable insight into organizational psychology, Erik Bichard and Cary Cooper make a compelling author team to take you through the sustainability lessons learnt by big business.
