The work grows out of discussions with counterparts at the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Food (SAGPyA) and INDEC. Recognizing the dearth of information on rural areas, the World Bank team agreed to review knowledge on rural poverty and provide guidance on future data collection efforts. A primary objective of this study is to raise the profile of the rural poor in Argentina. Largely because of data limitations, in particular the EPH's lack of coverage in rural areas, profound gaps exist in the understanding of rural poverty in Argentina. As a result, the rural poor have sometimes been neglected in policy discussions. As a first step in highlighting the situation of the rural poor, this report takes stock of existing research, exploits previously untapped information from the 2001 Population Census, and presents findings from a new qualitative study on the subject. For the future, it is crucial that the EPH be expanded to full national coverage. Roughly 38 percent of the country's population, consisting of four million rural residents and another 12 million who live in smaller urban areas, lie outside the current reach of the survey. An expanded EPH would be valuable both for better evaluating existing programs and for helping the government design new programs and policies. Recognizing the challenges that expansion of the EPH would bring, the final chapter of this report explores the key technical issues involved. As the Government of Argentina moves forward with its consideration of how to best improve data on rural issues and address rural poverty, the World Bank stands ready to assist in supporting the next steps. This report is offered in the hope that will stimulate dialogue and interest in addressing the nation's invisible poor

"Cost of capital estimation has long been recognized as one of the most critical elements in business valuation, capital budgeting, feasibility studies, and corporate finance decisions and is also the most difficult procedure to assess and perform. Now in its fourth edition, Cost of Capital: Applications and Examples addresses the most controversial issues and problems in estimating the cost of capital." "Renowned valuation experts and authors Shannon Pratt and Roger Grabowski present both the theoretical development of cost of capital estimation and its practical application to valuation, capital budgeting, and forecasting of expected investment returns encountered in current practice. In this learning text/handy reference, Pratt and Grabowski deftly review and explore the theory of what drives the cost of capital, the models currently in use to estimate cost of capital, and the data available as inputs to the models to estimate cost of capital." "In this thoroughly updated and comprehensive fourth edition, Cost of Capital summarizes the results and practical implications of the latest research--much of which is gleaned from unpublished academic working papers--and includes scores of formulas and elucidating examples throughout to enhance readers' insights." "The landmark book corporate treasurers, business appraisers, CPAs, and valuation experts have come to rely on, Cost of Capital lays out the basic tools to use immediately when estimating cost of capital or when reviewing an estimate. This dynamic author team also analyzes criticism of major models for developing estimates of the cost of capital in use today, and also presents procedures for a number of alternative models." "This definitive text is an indispensable reference tool for professional valuation practitioners as well as attorneys and judges, investment bankers, CFOs, academicians and students, and CPAs."--BOOK JACKET

When first published in 2003, this indispensable handbook fulfilled a critical need for information about the various causes of insomnia. Updated and expanded, this new edition of the Clinical Handbook of Insomnia offers healthcare providers the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies, as well as research developments, in the field of insomnia. With contributions from an expanded team of leading researchers from 5 different countries, this important resource includes new chapters on insomnia in special populations such as children, in adolescents, in the geriatric population, in menopausal women, and during pregnancy. The first edition chapter on insomnia in other sleep disorders has been divided and expanded into three comprehensive chapters addressing insomnia in sleep-related breathing disorders, in circadian rhythm disorders, and in sleep-related movement disorders and other parasomnias. The chapter on insomnia in neurological and medical disorders has also been split into two; an expanded one on neurological illness and another on medical disorders. There is also a new chapter on the association between insomnia and pain disorders, and, crucially, a practical 'how-to' chapter aimed at mid-level clinicians. The Clinical Handbook of Insomnia 2nd edition also includes state-of-the-art discussion of important developments made in recent years. Along with an overview of significant advances in the treatment of insomnia, including four new medications granted FDA approval and a number of others in the pipeline, the text offers a wealth of of new data regarding the pathophysiology of insomnia. Complete with a host of case studies, charts, and graphs to illustrate the material, the Clinical Handbook of Insomnia 2nd edition continues to fill an important niche in the literature by addressing the issue in its multiple forms and by presenting the information to clinicians in an easily accessible format.

"The 21st century will see monumental change. Either the human race will use its knowledge and skills and change the way it interacts with the environment, or the environment will change the way it interacts with its inhabitants. In the first case, the focus of this book, we would see our sophisticated understanding in areas such as physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, planning, commerce, business and governance accumulated over the last 1,000 years brought to bear on the challenge of dramatically reducing our pressure on the environment. The second case however is the opposite scenario, involving the decline of the planet's ecosystems until they reach thresholds where recovery is not possible, and following which we have no idea what happens. For instance, if we fail to respond to Sir Nicolas Stern's call to meet appropriate stabilisation trajectories for greenhouse gas emissions, and we allow the average temperature of our planets surface to increase by 4-6 degrees Celsius, we will see staggering changes to our environment, including rapidly rising sea level, withering crops, diminishing water reserves, drought, cyclones, floods... allowing this to happen will be the failure of our species, and those that survive will have a deadly legacy. In this update to the 1997 International Best Seller, Factor Four, Ernst von Weizsäcker again leads a team to present a compelling case for sector wide advances that can deliver significant resource productivity improvements over the coming century. The purpose of this book is to inspire hope and to then inform meaningful action in the coming decades to respond to the greatest challenge our species has ever faced ₆ that of living in harmony with our planet and its other inhabitants."--Publisher's description

This book is an outcome from the International Expo 'Water and Sustainable Development' held in Zaragoza (Spain) in 2008. Support from the Spanish Ministry of Environment, Caja Rioja, Government of Aragon, and the World Bank is acknowledged. 'Few resources will play a more important role in shaping our economic future, or face more daunting challenges, than water. This internationally acclaimed team of experts has produced a first-rate volume that is full of intriguing, practical ideas for meeting those challenges in a rich variety of institutional settings.' Tom Tietenberg, Mitchell Family Professor of Economics, Emeritus, Colby College, USA 'This volume brings together two critical but interrelated dimensions of water challenge, i.e. water pollution, particularly from non-point sources, and water conservation. The editors are well known experts on the subject as are the contributors.' R. Maria Saleth, International Water Management Institute, Sri Lanka and Associate Editor, Water Policy 'The profound contribution of this volume is that it brings together various economic concepts and policy dilemmas regarding water shortages, non-point source pollution, efficiency of water use and irrigation technology. Recommended reading for anyone working in the area of water management.' Henk Folmer, University of Groningen and Wageningen University, The Netherlands As countries face deteriorating water and environmental quality as well as water shortages, pollution control and the efficiency of water use become of paramount importance. Agriculture is one of the main non-point polluters of water bodies and irrigation for agriculture is one of the main consumers of water. While it is very hard to regulate pollution from agriculture, attempts have been made via economic and command and control instruments, and also through investments in technologies and

General practitioners and other primary care professionals have a leading role in contemporary health care, which Trisha Greenhalgh explores in this highly praised new text. She provides perceptive and engaging insights into primary health care, focussing on: its intellectual roots its impact on the individual, the family and the community the role of the multidisciplinary team contemporary topics such as homelessness, ethnic health and electronic records. Concise summaries, highlighted boxes, extensive referencing and a dedicated section on effective learning make this essential reading for postgraduate students, tutors and researchers in primary care. ___ From the foreword by Julian Tudor Hart "Trish Greenhalgh, in her frequent columns in the British Medical Journal…more than any other medical journalist spoke to her fellow GPs in the language of experience, but never without linking this to our expanding knowledge from the whole of human science. When I compare the outlines of primary care so lucidly presented in this wonderful book, obviously derived from rich experience of real teaching and learning, with the grand guignol theatre of London medical schools when I was a student 1947-52, the advance is stunning." ___ "Trish Greenhalgh is one of the international stars of general practice and a very clever thinker. This new book is a wonderful resource for primary health care and general practice. Every general practice registrar should read this book and so should every general practice teacher and primary care researcher." Professor Michael Kidd, Head of the Department of General Practice, University of Sydney and Immediate Past President of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners "This important new book by one of primary care's most accomplished authors sets out clearly the academic basis for

Hrsg.: Bruch, Heike / Krummaker, Stefan / Vogel, Bernd Leadership - Best Practices und Trends2006. X, 323 S. Mit 40 Abb. u. 4 Tab.ISBN: 978-3-8349-0079-1 Best-Practice, Handlungsempfehlungen, zentrale Trends - gestützt auf empirische Untersuchungen und FallstudienLeadership ist einer der zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren für wettbewerbsentscheidende Prozesse wie Wachstum, Innovation und Change. Dabei hängt der Unternehmenserfolg in hohem Maße davon ab, ob und wie Manager Leadership-Aufgaben wahrnehmen. Das Buch zeigt, welche Leadership-Praktiken erfolgreich sind und welche zu Misserfolg führen. Die Beiträge verdeutlichen, dass es für Unternehmen eine große Rolle spielt, ob und wie Führungskräfte sich für strategische Aufgaben einsetzen, ihre Mitarbeiter mobilisieren und selbst Initiative ergreifen oder sich tendenziell auf Verwaltungs- oder Fachaufgaben konzentrieren. Best Practices auf verschiedenen Ebenen - von Selbstführung über die Führung einzelner Mitarbeiter und Teams bis hin zu Leadership in ganzen Unternehmen - illustrieren dies. Zudem werden Trends vorgestellt, die sich in der Leadership-Praxis und in der Forschung abzeichnen. Die Beiträge von herausragenden Vertretern aus Praxis und Wissenschaft - u.a. von Josef Ackermann, Utz Claassen, Oliver Kahn, Fredmund Malik und Reinhard K. Sprenger - stützen sich auf Fallstudien, empirische Untersuchungen und persönliche Erfahrungen der Autoren. Das Buch richtet sich an Führungskräfte auf allen Ebenen von Unternehmen, Change-Experten, HR-Verantwortliche sowie an Wissenschaftler und Studierende der Betriebs- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften, insbesondere mit den Schwerpunkten Unternehmensführung und Personalmanagement.

World Heritage Sites are some of the most recognised locations around the world. They include natural sites such as the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier and cultural ones such as the Pyramids at Giza, the Walled City of Baku in Azerbaijan and the Historic Centre of Riga in Latvia. The responsibility to manage them successfully and ensure that the resources are not damaged by visitors, war or environment is therefore vital. Managing World Heritage Sites covers the management issues encountered at cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites). WHS sites are high profile and as their designation states they are unique. They are often government owned and subject to political debate, they have iconic status and are therefore crucial to national tourism industries, and often involve a large number of stakeholders within their management structures. This text considers all of these aspects in arriving at solutions for site management principles. In 12 chapters and 5 case studies it covers issues such as WHS designation, marketing, visitor management, revenue generation and management. Each chapter will examine the management issues associated with managing heritage within the WH Sites, making clear use of management practices to apply the theory. Managing World Heritage Sites: Includes international case studies such as World Heritage Sites in the Americas, Machupicchu, Stonehenge, Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia, Megalithic Temples of Malta. Is authored by an international contributor team of well known and respected experts in this field Has a user friendly and logical structure including aims, introduction, case study, conclusion, references and websites and examples best practice. 5 specific case study chapters including a location map, an explanation of key issues, conclusion, and questions for self-study.

"23 million people in Germany – almost one in three over the age of 14
– are involved in civil society. This is an impressive figure that we talk
about far too little. But today we need involvement in civil society more
than ever. The state could not perform all of the tasks that young and old
do for no money. Voluntary involvement is a very important component
of a society with a human face. The power of cohesion and helping each
other, caring for each other – this is a commodity that we can and have to
bring back to life in involvement in civil society, in voluntary work.
In view of the demographic challenge, the older generation in particular
will have an increasingly important role. After the career and family
phase it has a great wealth of knowledge gained through experience
and time. This potential must be made useful for society. But for this we
also need local authorities where the politicians and administrators,
responsible parties in educational facilities, associations and voluntary
organisations are open to the great demand for self-determined and selforganised
involvement by older people.
The model programme 'Experience for Initiatives' (EFI) is an important
step in this direction: around 1,000 older people have already taken part
in courses to be seniortrainers in order to learn something new and to
use their experience in many local projects – for the benefit of all age
and population groups locally. 'enior expertise teams' become reliable
partners and important pace setters for voluntary involvement in local
communities. Active senior citizens develop creativity, innovation and
a willingness to act. They are putting the cycle of give and take between
the generations back in motion and, at the same time, are drawing a new
picture of old age." (excerpt)
