"In 2012, U.S. and European firms accounted for the highest share
of revenue generated by the top international architecture and
engineering firms in Africa, at 27 and 31 percent, respectively,"
according to a U.S. International Trade Commission trade brief.
These findings show that the growth of company revenues in an
overseas market does not just have to depend on the sale of
manufactured products or agricultural commodities. Opportunities
also exist for service providers. International Trade in Services:
Effective Practice and Policy addresses a reality that receives
minimal attention in the current debate about international
trade-how the export and import of services drive a significant
portion of international trade. The United States has a US$269
billion surplus in trade in services with the world. On other hand,
U.S. trade in goods with the world continues to experience a wide
trade deficit of US$946 billion. Nevertheless, U.S. policy response
focuses mainly on the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. In
addition, as an international trade educator in business schools at
different universities, many of the textbooks emphasize the various
aspects of importing and exporting goods. Workshops aimed to
educate and inform the business community also focus on the trade
in goods. Consequently, business students and practitioners miss
another important component of international trade that presents
opportunities-trade in services. The book provides a simple, yet
thorough, introduction on how to export a service to an overseas
market. The book will guide its audience with a step-by-step
process on exporting a service from research to strategy to
implementation. Furthermore, the book will highlight the
opportunities presented by the international-level General
Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and bilateral and
regional-level reciprocal trade agreements. Service providers will
be able to use the book as a guide to start the export process
successfully with the first step. Essentially, the book will
provide results in the following areas: Time saving-The
step-by-step process, which highlights various programs, and the
list of key resources will save future exporters of a service the
time that they would spend trying to just understand another
market. Frustration reduction-The book's outline of the formal
mechanisms available to service exporters will save them from the
frustration that may arise from encountering trade practices, some
of which can also be very costly, in different markets that make it
difficult to compete against local service providers. Money
saving-Having substantive knowledge of formal mechanisms and key
resources that help to reduce the risks associated with exporting
to another market, such as not receiving payment, will help the
services-based exporter to use its financial resources more
efficiently while reducing its risk of nonpayment.
From the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Tiffany D. Jackson, comes a gripping new novel perfect for fans of E. Lockhart and Gillian Flynn about the mystery of one teenage girl’s disappearance and the traumatic effects of the truth.
Monday Charles is missing, and only Claudia seems to notice. Claudia and Monday have always been inseparable—more sisters than friends. So when Monday doesn’t turn up for the first day of school, Claudia’s worried.
When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help.
As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday. How can a teenage girl just vanish without anyone noticing that she’s gone?

The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out in this chilling YA
psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house
story from New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!
Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep
haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their
small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of
Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted
a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free
house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old
stepsister, Piper. The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple
Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary
neighbors has its . . . secrets. That's only half the problem:
household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off,
shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and
there's a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to
notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari
gone. But "running from ghosts" is just a metaphor, right? As the
house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn't limited to Maple
Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find
their way through the cracks. * An Amazon Best Book of the Month *

This volume examines an often taken for granted concept-that of the
concept itself. How do we picture what concepts are, what they do,
how they arise in the course of everyday life? Challenging
conventional approaches that treat concepts as mere tools at our
disposal for analysis, or as straightforwardly equivalent to signs
to be deciphered, the anthropologists and philosophers in this
volume turn instead to the ways concepts are already intrinsically
embedded in our forms of life and how they constitute the very
substrate of our existence as humans who lead lives in language.
Attending to our ordinary lives with concepts requires not an
ascent from the rough ground of reality into the skies of theory,
but rather acceptance of the fact that thinking is congenital to
living with and through concepts. The volume offers a critical and
timely intervention into both contemporary philosophy and
anthropological theory by unsettling the distinction between
thought and reality that continues to be too often assumed and
showing how the supposed need to grasp reality may be replaced by
an acknowledgement that we are in its grip. Contributors: Jocelyn
Benoist, Andrew Brandel, Michael Cordey, Veena Das, Rasmus Dyring
and Thomas Schwarz Wentzer, Michael D. Jackson, Michael Lambek,

In this striking new novel by the critically acclaimed author of
Allegedly and Monday's Not Coming, Tiffany D. Jackson tells the
story of three Brooklyn teens who plot to turn their murdered
friend into a major rap star by pretending he's still alive.
Brooklyn, 1998. Biggie Smalls was right: Things done changed. But
that doesn't mean that Quadir and Jarrell are cool letting their
best friend Steph's music lie forgotten under his bed after he's
murdered-not when his rhymes could turn any Bed Stuy corner into a
party. With the help of Steph's younger sister Jasmine, they come
up with a plan to promote Steph's music under a new rap name: the
Architect. Soon, everyone wants a piece of him. When his demo
catches the attention of a hotheaded music label rep, the trio must
prove Steph's talent from beyond the grave. As the pressure of
keeping their secret grows, Quadir, Jarrell, and Jasmine are forced
to confront the truth about what happened to Steph. Only, each has
something to hide. And with everything riding on Steph's fame, they
need to decide what they stand for or lose all that they've worked
so hard to hold on to-including each other.
How does space illuminate to educational inequity? Where and how
can spatial analysis be used to disrupt educational inequity? Which
tools are most appropriate for the spatial analysis of educational
equity? This book addresses these questions and explores the use of
critical spatial analysis to uncover the dimensions of entrenched
and systemic racial inequities in educational settings and identify
ways to redress them. The contributors to this book - some of whom
are pioneering scholars of critical race spatial analysis theory
and methodology - demonstrate the application of the theory and
tools applied to specific locales, and in doing so illustrate how
this spatial and temporal lens enriches traditional approaches to
research. The opening macro-theoretical chapter lays the foundation
for the book, rooting spatial analyses in critical commitments to
studying injustice. Among the innovative methodological chapters
included in this book is the re-conceptualization of mapping and
space beyond the simple exploration of external spaces to
considering internal geographies, highlighting how the privileged
may differ in socio-spatial thinking from oppressed communities and
what may be learned from both perspectives; data representations
that allow the construction of varied narratives based on
differences in positionality and historicity of perspectives; the
application of redlining to the analysis of classroom interactions;
the use of historical archives to uncover the process of
marginalization; and the application of techniques such as the
fotonovela and GIS to identify how spaces are defined and can be
reimagined. The book demonstrates the analytical and communicative
power of mapping and its potential for identifying and dismantling
racial injustice in education. The editors conclude by drawing
connections across sections, and elucidating the tensions and
possibilities for future research.
This book explores the lived, embodied experiences of aging men as
a counterpoint to the weary stereotypes often imposed on them.
Conventionally, in Western cultures, they are seen as inevitably in
decline. The book challenges these distorted images through a
detailed analysis of aging men's life stories.
Although there are many texts on the law of evidence, surprisingly
few are devoted specifically to the comparative and international
aspects of the subject. The traditional view that the law of
evidence belongs within the common law tradition has obscured the
reality that a genuinely cosmopolitan law of evidence is being
developed in criminal cases across the common law and civil law
traditions. By considering the extent to which a coherent body of
common evidentiary standards is being developed in both domestic
and international jurisprudence, John Jackson and Sarah Summers
chart this development with particular reference to the
jurisprudence on the right to a fair trial that has emerged from
the European Court of Human Rights and to the attempts in the new
international criminal tribunals to fashion agreed approaches
towards the regulation of evidence.
