Customer Reviews:
Pretty neat?.......2003-03-30
The author is a wellknown and top rank German botanist and the quality does shine through. However the original book was written in German, and the translation was quite lackadaisical. The Introduction contains some errors not even a novice botanist would have made: there is a caption where Tillandsia is called an Orchid and a caption that calls a flush of young Brownea leafs "leaf shedding". The bit on Plant names in the Introduction is even worse off.
Note that no synonyms are provided, which means that it may be hard to use this book alongside other works, of an earlier date. Those looking for Chorisia speciosa or Tabebuia pentaphylla will have to know to look for Ceiba speciosa and Tabebuia rosea or they won't find them.
Accessible and informative.......2002-06-13

The 2007 Import and Export Market for Halogenated Derivatives of Acyclic Hydrocarbons Containing Two or More Different Halogens in Spain
Philip M. Parker Manufacturer: ICON Group International, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0546020658 Release Date: 2006-11-21 |
Product Description
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens in Spain face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens to Spain? How important is Spain compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens vary from one country of origin to another in Spain? On the supply side, Spain also exports halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens. Which countries receive the most exports from Spain? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens in Spain. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens for those countries serving Spain via exports, or supplying from Spain via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Spain fits into the world market for imported and exported halogenated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons containing two or more different halogens. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Spain in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Spain is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Spain compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
