As the world becomes increasingly globalized, today's companies
expect to hire engineers who are effective in a global business
environment. Although you can find many books covering
globalization, most of them are aimed at business, management, or
social sciences. Developed with engineers in mind, Global
Engineering: Design, Decision Making, and Communication covers the
theory, models, and decision making tools for incorporating
globalization into engineering work. Written by a multidisciplinary
team of experts in industrial, mechanical, and manufacturing
engineering and organizational communications, this book is a
primer on how to improve designs, make better decisions, and
communicate more effectively in an international working
environment. The contents of the book reflect the authors'
multidisciplinary perspective and their experience in working on
projects around the world. The book presents globalization as a
phenomenon affecting the way companies operate and their
engineering functions. It uses a case study format based on system
improvement projects and real industrial projects, ranging from
design to supply chain and logistics problems. This case study
format allows for a natural presentation of critical technical and
non-technical concepts and their complex interactions. The
challenge that engineers face in a global environment results from
the need to be aware of interdependencies and to be able to
determine which ones are most important in each situation. Unique
in its focus on engineering, this book provides a framework for how
to better design, make decisions, and communicate in the new era of
global competition.

This book covers the use and development of software for astronomy.
It describes the control systems used to point the telescope and
operate its cameras and spectrographs, as well as the web-based
tools used to plan those observations. In addition, the book also
covers the analysis and archiving of astronomical data once it has
been acquired. Readers will learn about existing software tools and
packages, develop their own software tools, and analyze real data
sets.
More than one million nonprofit or voluntary organizations have
been incorporated in the United States, and there are countless
others throughout the world. Although they range in size and
purpose from small social clubs to large and complex organizations
such as universities and hospitals, they all have one thing in
common: a board of directors of some type. What these boards do
varies as much as the organizations themselves. The New Effective
Voluntary Board of Directors provides clear answers, illustrated
with graphics, to previously ambiguous and bewildering questions,
such as definitions of policy, the function of boards, the role of
board members, and many other issues. Dealing with the delicate
balance in nonprofit organizations, the legal implications of
serving on a board, the nonprofit leadership and management model,
and other matters of concern, William Conrad applies his lifelong
experience to providing a comprehensive, practical, and concise
tool for those involved in the unique challenges associated with
the leadership and management of nonprofit and voluntary groups.
With nearly 30,000 copies of earlier editions of this work in
print, Swallow Press is pleased to publish the new, updated, and
revised edition of this classic in its field.
Despite a decades-long debate, starting with the 'Tuna-Dolphin'
disputes of the 1990s, questions on the status of national
regulatory measures linked to processes and production methods in
WTO law have yet remained unsolved. Likewise, labelling
requirements relating to unincorporated aspects of a product's life
cycle remain strongly contested. These ongoing disputes at the WTO
as well as global social and environmental challenges related to
economic activities show how topical and important the search for
adequate answers still is. Processes and Production Methods (PPMS)
in WTO Law identifies and comprehensively analyses the key legal
problems concerning such measures, setting them in the context of
the current debate and its economic and regulatory background.
Christiane R. Conrad develops a new approach to this debate which
draws on the objectives and established economic rationales of the
WTO Agreements.
Examines World War II in the Pacific, including the causes of the
war between Japan and the United States, the important battles and
leaders, life for soldiers and life on the homefront, and how the
war ended.
