Die Arbeit untersucht das Verhältnis zwischen dem Ziel des Umweltschutzes und den Zielen des Binnenmarktes sowie eines unverfälschten Wettbewerbs im Gemeinschaftsrecht. Die im EG-Vertrag vorgesehene Integration des Umweltschutzes in die anderen Gemeinschaftspolitiken und das Ziel einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung fordern, im Rahmen der wirtschaftlich ausgerichteten Ziele, auch Belange des Umweltschutzes zu berücksichtigen. Es wird geprüft, in welcher Rangordnung die Ziele zueinander stehen, ob sie grundsätzlich miteinander vereinbar sind und wie sich Zielkonflikte lösen lassen. Ferner wird aufgezeigt, wie der Europäische Gerichtshof und die Europäische Kommission Zielkonflikte bei der Anwendung der Vorschriften der Grundfreiheiten und des EG-Wettbewerbsrechts lösen und wie man die Vorschriften auslegen sollte, um noch besser den Vorgaben des EG-Vertrages zu genügen.

In Perceptionicity, Erwin Aguayo reminds us that it is how organizations and their myriad stakeholders think that most matters to their success. From the opening example of the trucking company clerk who had to decide whether to help a driver stranded in the proverbial "middle of nowhere," we are buffeted with constant reminders that our perceptions and understandings of organizational vision, mission and purpose are central to organizational success. Perhaps a few major corporations have already received the memo, but most still attend to significant organizational problems with short term palliatives. The immediate response is often to graft what might even be good policy or process onto an inhospitable organizational culture. Perceptionicity is a cogent reminder that an organization's soul is the ultimate predictor of its success. How every stakeholder understands and embraces the company's vision is more important than the color of the stationery, or the make of the cars it leases, or the glass and steel structure in which it is housed, or the trendy titles an organization assigns to its executives, or whether every "t" is crossed or every "i" is dotted. But the author does more than identify the problem. He offers an effective methodology to allow organizations to move beyond palliative care to more comprehensive evidence-based solutions. The methodology is not for the meek hearted or weak kneed. It requires commitment and perseverance. But in the end it represents an alternative to the half-hearted, superficial solutions that too often result in "pretend" change. In other words, Perceptionicity is for every person who wants to give up pretense for substance. Antone Aboud, Ph.D. Management Consultant

Breakroom Blues, a fun and easy-to-read novel, beckons employers and recruiters to go beneath the surface of a job candidate's tailored resume, rehearsed interview, crafted smile and impressive handshake to seek the candidate's soul-true character. The philosophy employed is simple-once the candidate's soul is discovered, one can make better employment decisions that lead to heightened levels of success for organizations. PJ Pennington brilliantly seeks the soul of six characters using as the main setting the breakroom of a dysfunctional company. Each of the characters is employed by this company and demonstrates many of the employee behaviors we often see in real-life organizations. Breakroom Blues, a precursor to Breakroom Blues Exploratory Workbook and Journal, encourages us to look at our lives and examine our behavior especially when we are "on break"-away from work responsibilities or those we seek to impress. It is a call to continuously "workout" our thinking and conduct so that we keep ethically fit at all times and a reminder not to "rest on our laurels."

This encyclopedia contains the biographies of over 100 women, from Clara Barton to Oprah Winfrey, who come from diverse backgrounds, races, age groups, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and geographic locations. From 1776 to the present, these women have initiated organizations; taken human, physical, and financial risk in these endeavors; and have had an economic impact locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. This, by definition, makes them entrepreneurs, the same as their male counterparts. However, many of the women have been unacknowledged by recorded history. This book, therefore, adds women's entrepreneurial stories to the historical record and provides a resource to researchers and educators in the fields of entrepreneurship, business, management, sociology, economics, and women's studies. It also will be of interest to young women--potential entrepreneurs--seeking role models for their own endeavors in the free enterprise system of the United States.

Four new cities have been created in Georgia in the past three years. The author was responsible for the implementation of Sandy Springs, the first new city to be incorporated in Georgia in fifty years. His previous book, Creating the New City of Sandy Springs, was published to serve as a guide for other communities considering incorporation. The book introduced the concept of a broadly based Public/Private partnership. Subsequently, the author served in an advisory role to the other three new cities, all of which adopted the Public/private partnership model. A fifth new city that the author is advising is expected to be formed late in 2008. It too, is moving toward the adoption of the model. The record of success in these cities is outlined in this new book. Success is defined as the provision of more efficient government services and providing the maximum level of responsiveness to the citizens. Based on the experience of these new cities, this book strongly urges that existing cities which have followed the traditional organizational structure, for too long, give strong consideration to converting their services to the Public/Private partnership model. The Public/Private partnership model is gaining interest on a national level and recently has attracted international interest. The author was invited to participate in a number of large symposia and meetings in Japan with government, business and academic leaders, to explain the model, and its benefits. Traditional methods of providing local government services have in many cases resulted in levels of bureaucracy and waste that are unacceptable. It is time that elected officials consider new and better methods. The Public/Privatepartnership model as described in this, and the authors first book, provides a roadmap for introducing improved government services that should be studied by all local officials.
