Book Description
Thoroughly researched and clearly written, Standing at the Crossroads speaks to the whole professional woman and her organization, providing a framework for guiding a woman's growth and development as a high- achieving leader. The authors debunk the common myth that women must give up life's other roles to be successful professionally, and offer research conducted by the Center for Creative Leadership in conjunction with participants in The Women's Leadership Program to show that multiple roles in fact benefit and enhance women's managerial performance. The book provides individuals and their organizations with invaluable advice they can use to support women's development as managers and leaders.

An underrated gem of a book!.......2002-10-09
I picked up this book casually on my way into a bookstore... to add to those which I would peruse on my cross-country flight. I quickly found myself thoroughly engrossed in the stories of 61 women managers and executives who seemingly "had it all." I found myself thinking through episodes in my own life and identifying with the choices, tradeoffs, and dilemmas of several different women. It gave me some new appreciation of and insights into how successful women grapple with the issue of integrating their personal and professional lives in order to live life to the fullest, whatever their own personal definition of that might be. I used some of the strategies suggested in one chapter to help me think through a career problem I'm currently grappling with. This book was an easy and insightful read; it turned out to be the ONLY book I read during my flight! I would encourage all women, not just managers, to read this book; it addresses concerns that almost all of us have. For that matter, even though the research is based on women, I know from personal experiece that many men are grappling with similar issues, and they would probably find the book helpful as well. Even if not interested for themselves, it would help them better understand their wives, daughters, and female coworkers.
A MUST READ!.......2002-08-22
Although this book is written with women managers in mind, the issues and themes it discusses will resonate with every woman who has ever juggled a number of different roles in her life - and probably with many men as well! The authors discuss five key developmental themes in women's lives -- the need to act authentically, make connections, control one's destiny, achieve wholeness, and gain self-clarity -- and show how these themes combine to create a whole that is dynamic and unique to every woman. In addition, the book is filled with practical tips and helpful exercises to help the reader who wants to develop in these areas. One thing that makes this book stand out from many other popular business books is that it is based on an extremely solid piece of research. The authors interviewed more than sixty women, followed them over time, and collected other information about them. Yet, although it is based on an academic study, the book is an easy read - very enjoyable. Almost every woman should be able to find herself somewhere in this book. I highly recommend it!
Book Description
Social Enterprise Edited by Marthe Nyssens New organizations, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit but focused on social aims, are emerging throughout Europe. This important new text develops a comparative European analysis within a multidisciplinary framework to explore social enterprises. Breaking new ground, Social Enterprise combines theory with a rigorous analysis of 160 social enterprises across 11 EU countries to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of these complex organizations. The text is structured around a number of key themes (multiple goals and multiple stakeholders, multiple resources, trajectories of workers, public policies) and developed through a pan-European analysis. Each theme is illustrated with short country experiences that reflect the diversity of welfare models across Europe. Social Enterprise is essential reading for all those who want to learn more about social enterprise.

Book Description
Crossroads of Entrepreneurship presents works from scholars belonging to a number of different disciplines - business history, economics, sociology and management - and addresses a cross section of issues in the entrepreneurship field. Contributions are arranged in different sections, emphasizing dialogue across disciplines and paradigms, rather than boundaries between them. The first section of the work is a compilation of papers that trace the historical roots of study in entrepreneurship in different disciplinary domains, and highlight the fundamental issues addressed by past research. A second section gathers empirical studies adopting various methods and investigating different aspects of entrepreneurial action. The third section collects contributions investigating the development of entrepreneurship in different national settings.
Crossroads of Entrepreneurship reveals a convergence of issues and interests, despite paradigmatic differences, and the potential benefits of more intense conversation across disciplines.

From the supplier: Hong Kong's transition from British rule to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997 raises questions about whether entrepreneurship will continue to survive in the city under China's control. The British colony has achieved its position as an international commercial and financial center because of a number of economic, social and psychological factors that include its attractive market opportunities, laissez-faire attitude in business and private matters, and aversion toward manual labor. These advantages are likely to be diminished under Chinese rule since the government is already showing clear signs that it will interpret and implement the 1984 SINN-British Joint Declaration paving the way for the transition to further China's interests.

Customer Reviews:
Very Good Intro.......2007-10-04
This is a very good intro to patent law. It covers the essentials of 35 USC 101, 102, 103, 112 with clear language and essential case histories. It's not enough to pass the patent bar, but it's an excellent place to get an overview and foundation before going on to more detailed patent bar study materials. It's also good for reviewing concepts for practicing patent professionals. It is focussed mainly on the law, meaning it does not cover many of the administrative issues related to prosecuting patents, but it covers the law well and clearly.
Spying On The College Of Your Choice
Very good prep to Patent Bar.......2007-07-20
Although the purpose of the book is not to prepare readers for the patent bar it does so anyways, especially Chapters 600 and 700 of the MPEP which are the most challenging and analytical and also the most heavily tested. It also goes into the basics of reissue and reixamination as well as international agreements governing patent prosecution.
If you are reading the book solely to prepare for the Patent Bar skip the three chapters at the end on infringement since this involves litigation and is not tested on the exam. I loved the multitude of examples and the history of how the laws were developed. Makes studying for the test a lot more enjoyable.
Excellent Book, Patent Law in Plain Words.......2007-07-12
It really gives me a whole picture of what patent law is about. I bought this book for my patent bar exam.It might not be the great book for that. It helps me, however, understand basic concepts and clarify many confusions in patent preparation and prosecution. I've heard that it's quite helpful for law students studying patent law, and even beyond school.
Good book for law school, but not the patent bar........2007-06-18
I read this to prep me for the patent bar exam, which was not a good choice. It's a great book for a law student trying to cram for patent law course exams, but I recommend OmniPrep for passing the patent bar exam, if that's what you're trying to do.
A pretty decent intro book.......2007-03-12
I bought this book to get the fundamentals of the patent bar exam. That was not a wise choice, but it is still a good book for other matters such as basic patent fundamentals. I actually skimmed through much of the book picking up key terms used in it for the patent bar exam however so that was good. It is also a great intro book to understand patents, drafting them, and prosecuting them. I recommend it to anyone.

Book Description
To varying degrees, nations worldwide are at present struggling to meet their obligations under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS).This agreement, which to a large extent supersedes all previous international conventions on intellectual property rights, promises to provide virtually global protection against fraud, piracy, and infringement for owners of patents, copyrights, trade marks, and trade secrets -- provided government officials everywhere implement its requirements. It is with the intent of facilitating such compliance -- focusing on patents -- that this extremely practical book has been written. With the authoritative stamp of a leading international functionary in the field -- formerly with the WTO and currently with the Secretariat of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) --it articulates with unmatched clarity the specific steps a government must take, in a wide variety of possible contexts, to ensure its patent-related obligations under TRIPS are met. The presentation is arranged in an article-by-article format, following the TRIPS Agreement itself as it relates to patents. It makes no attempt to discuss what the Agreement should be, but only what it is. Effective implementation and compliance is the author's sole concern. Among the complex questions the book answers in depth are the following: + How does the "no less favourable treatment" standard apply in specific situations? + Where is the line drawn between most-favoured-nation treatment and national treatment? + When does exhaustion occur? + How is the necessity test met? + What are the minimum and maximum conditions of patentability? + Under what circumstances does the precautionary principle enter the process? + How can traditional knowledge be protected? + Under what circumstances do considerations of public health arise? + To what extent do the protection of undisclosed test data and exclusive marketing rights relate to the patent system? The complexity of the TRIPS Agreement and its numerous links to areas that are outside intellectual property -- such as the environment and public health, human rights, and non-tariff barriers to trade -- make it very difficult to apprehend all the aspects and implications of the Agreement, let alone to convert all TRIPS obligations into national law. For these reasons and more, The TRIPS Regime of Patent Rights is a crucially important resource for lawyers and government officials everywhere charged with the implementation of TRIPS obligations. It provides bright guidance through a notoriously murky passage in current international relations.

Book Description
It is not easy to prevent others from using your ideas or information for gain unless you use the sophisticated and esoteric legal techniques of intellectual property law. Copyright, which is especially important, is a form of protection afforded to many different types of work. Copyright protection for literary work is well known, and this regime also applies to musical and artistic works, broadcasts, sound and video recordings and typographical arrangements. An Introduction to Intellectual Property, an introduction to topics in intellectual property law by the unusual method of using moots, mock trials, questions and answers and essays, is not a textbook. It serves to interest the inquisitive without going into the deep law of IP. It will certainly encourage the reader to read an IP textbook and help students when faced with a decision to choose the subject for study.

Book Description
Council Regulation (EC) No. 2100/94 on Plant Variety Protection (the Regulation) enables breeders to obtain Community-wide protection for new plant varieties by filing a single application with the appropriate authority. The Regulation came into force on 27 April 1995. It is expected that the new Community system will gradually become much more important than the Member States' regulations. This article-by-article commentary on the Regulation offers fundamental information on every Article of the Regulation and other related matters, including + the meaning of all of the relevant definitions and terms, + references to other Articles and to the Articles of the Regulations establishing implementing rules, + practical information regarding methods of application and costs, + the complete texts of the Regulations establishing implementing rules, and + a list of important addresses. Breeders, growers, farmers, and business lawyers will appreciate this highly practical resource on a Regulation central to their work.
