Intended especially for top management and sales executives in small-to medium-sized companies just beginning to contemplate an export program, "The Marketer's Guide to Selling Products Abroad" takes the reader sequentially from the crucial questions regarding when and how to export through the common, often frustrating, concerns of documentation, product servicing, advertising, distribution agreements, patents, trademarks, political risks, traveling the territory, and foreign trade shows.

An unusally comprehensive treatment of the export process, the book offers workable solutions to such frequently encountered problems as getting paid in a timely fashion; hiring, staffing, and locating an export staff; marketing to different cultures; language difficulties; protecting industrial property rights, such patents and trademarks; and minimizing exposure to terrorism. Weber, himself an experienced exporter, covers the reasons companies should export, the government services available to exporters, alternative distribution methods, and selection of target markets. In each case, Weber offers straightforward, practical advice that can be used with profit by companies wishing to initiate a foreign sales program. Three appendixes offer helpful information about Commerce Department field offices, official languages, and abbreviations and acronyms. Numerous illustrations reinforce information contained in the text.

Die vorliegende Aufgabensammlung sollte zunachst emem Be- diil'fniss geniigen, welches sich mir beim U nterricht mehr und mehr fiihlbar machte. Dieselbe scheint mil' abel' auch in anderen Kreisen von Nutzen zu sein: jedem, del' das Bediirfniss fiihlt, sich mit den Einheiten, den Anschauungen, den Gesetzen und Formeln del' Elek- tricitatslehl'e vertraut zu machen; jedem, del' sich in elektrischen Dingen eben so leicht, be quem und bestimmt ausdriicken will wie in den gebrauchlichsten raumlichen und mechanischen Verhaltnissen. Dem SchUler verschiedener Stufen solI sie, ahnlich wie die Samm- lungen mathematischer Aufgaben, Gelegenheit geben, sein Denkver- mogen, seine Geschicklichkeit, Bestimmtheit und Klarheit des Aus- dl'uckes, sowie sein Gedachtniss an interessantem und niitzlichem Material zu iiben. lch glaube, den Gedanken, welcher mich bei del' Abfassung del' Aufgaben leitete, nicht bessel' ausdriicken zu konnen als durch die Worle Sir W. Thomson's in den "Electrical Units of Measurements" (1883): "Man konnte kaum einen grosseren lrr-thum begehen als diesen, die praktischen Anwendungen del' Wissenschaft als unbedeu- tend anzusehen. Diese Anwendungen sind die Seele und das Leben del' Wissenschaft, und wie die gross en Fortschl'itte in den mathe- matischen Wissenschaften aus dem Bediil'fniss hel'vorgingen, Aufgaben von gl'osstem praktischem Nutzen zu losen, so muss auch die Losung del' meisten wichtigsten Fol'tschritte in del' Physik, von ihren An- IV Vorwort.

Reporter Luke Stockwell gets word that his photojournalist brother, Matt is missing on a special assignment. When he picks up a videocassette from Matt at the Newort post office, he learns an FBI agent tried to intercept it that morning. Luke enlists Alison Huntley, a digital photo whiz, to convert the cassette to a CD. The tape shows rogue agent Frank Drake hiring an assassin to kill Israeli Prime Minister Sharon.

Drake kills the postal clerk and tries to kill Alison, but wounds her roommate by mistake. Luke invites Alison to spend the night on his yacht, the Shutterbug. Drake sneaks aboard and is wounded in the ensuing shootout and his escape.

After Drake kills a policeman, a door-to-door manhunt forces him to hide in a vacant house. In disguise, he escapes to the Shutterbug and forces Luke and Alison to head for Mexico. Luke runs the boat into the surf and fights Drake on the beach, where he kills Drake.

Meanwhile, the Shutterbug is about to crash onto a rocky reef when Luke rescues Alison from a Coast Guard helicopter.

To prevent an international embarrassment, Washington spikes Luke's shot at a Pulitzer Prize.
