Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This pioneering text brings together for the first time the global
institutions on the front line of the campaign against hunger and
poverty. The institutions examined in this book - the Food and
Agricultural Organization (FAO), the International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Bank, the World Food
Programme (WFP) and the Consultative Group on International
Agricultural Research (CGIAR) - play important roles in achieving
and maintaining world food security, which is essential for human
existence, economic and social development and world peace. By
analyzing the origins, functions, successes and difficulties of
these global institutions, Shaw highlights the continuing relevance
of these bodies in their quest to meet the challenges of the
twenty-first century. In the light of the current world food
crisis, this book provides a particularly pertinent commentary on a
highly topical issue that is never far from the media spotlight.
This book is essential reading for all students, academics and
readers with an interest in international organisations,
agricultural development and economic and humanitarian affairs

Marketing is a universal activity that is widely applicable,
regardless of the political, social or economic systems of a
particular country. However, this doesn't mean that consumers in
different parts of the world should be satisfied in the same
way.
The fifth edition of International Marketing has been written to
enable managers and scholars to meet the international challenges
they face every day. It provides the solid foundation required to
understand the complexities of marketing on a global scale.
Fully updated, this book includes topical case studies, examples
of contemporary marketing campaigns, the most relevant discussion
topics and up-to-date theories, references and research findings.
It is this combination of theory and practice that makes this
textbook truly unique, presenting a fully rounded view of the topic
rather than solely an anecdotal or descriptive one.
A companion website provides additional material for lecturers
and students alike: www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415772624.
This title was first published in 2000. This work looks at the
privatization of British Rail. It covers the competition for
franchises and the regulation of those franchises. The study
evaluates the extent to which the promotion of competition was an
appropriate policy goal in the privatization of British rail. The
book examines the rail system as a whole and looks at the prospects
for the future.
February, 1940: After a decade of worldwide depression, World War
II had begun in Europe and Asia. With Germany on the march, and
Japan at war with China, the global crisis was in a crescendo.
America's top songwriter, Irving Berlin, had captured the nation's
mood a little more than a year before with his patriotic hymn, God
Bless America."Woody Guthrie was having none of it. Near-starving
and penniless, he was traveling from Texas to New York to make a
new start. As he eked his way across the country by bus and by
thumb, he couldn't avoid Berlin's song. Some people say that it was
when he was freezing by the side of the road in a Pennsylvania
snowstorm that he conceived of a rebuttal. It would encompass the
dark realities of the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, and it would
begin with the lines: This land is your land, this land is my land,
."In This Land That I Love , John Shaw writes the dual biography of
these beloved American songs. Examining the lives of their authors,
he finds that Guthrie and Berlin had more in common than either
could have guessed. Though Guthrie's image was defined by
train-hopping, Irving Berlin had also risen from homelessness,
having worked his way up from the streets of New York.At the same
time, This Land That I Love sheds new light on our patriotic
musical heritage, from Yankee Doodle" and The Star-Spangled Banner"
to Martin Luther King's recitation from My Country 'Tis of Thee" on
the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in August 1963. Delving into the
deeper history of war songs, minstrelsy, ragtime, country music,
folk music, and African American spirituals, Shaw unearths a rich
vein of half-forgotten musical traditions. With the aid of archival
research, he uncovers new details about the songs, including a
never-before-printed verse for This Land Is Your Land." The result
is a fascinating narrative that refracts and re-envisions America's
tumultuous history through the prism of two unforgettable anthems.
