Book Description
A major concern of all decision makers has been to ensure that there are clear benefits from transport investment proposals. The travel time savings are clear, but the wider economic developments have presented enormous difficulty in terms of both theoretical arguments and empirical evidence. This book reviews the history of the debate and argues that the agenda has changed.
These issues are presented together with a major analytical investigation of macro economic models, evaluation in transport and micro economic approaches. The final part of the book presents a series of case studies for road, rail and airport investment schemes, particularly focusing on the economic development aspects.

Download Description
Since the late 1970s China has made extensive policy reforms and infrastructure investments. Although there have been significant investments made over the past decades, most of these investments came from the public sector. The goal of this report is to help improve China's approach to private participation in infrastructure focusing on roads, water and sanitation, and power generation by expanding foreign direct investment and domestic financing in such projects. It compares China's experience with those of other countries.

Book Description
The essays in this volume explore the phenomenon of foreign industrial recruitment in terms of the experience of six mid-American states--Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee--in attracting Japanese automobile assembly facilities. This experience and the choice of plant sites by Mazda, Honda, Fuji-Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Nissan was invariably determined by multi-state negotiations and escalating state government incentive packages. To understand this phenomenon and its consequences, the essays in this volume sketch its comparative historical, economic, and legal dimensions; examine the dynamics of Japanese automobile investment in terms of the six site-specific studies; and then place these industrial recruitment experiences within a wider framework of federal-state relations and the prospects for a national industrial policy. Part I illuminates the background to and the comparative setting for the mid-American competition for Japanese automobile plants in the era of international corporate flight. Part II carefully probes the dynamics of development in terms of six site-specific studies. Finally, Part III places these six state industrial recruitment experiences within the wider framework of federal-state relations. This book makes informative reading for anyone interested in the automobile industry, Japanese-American trade polices, and federal-state relations.

Book Description
Communicating Gender Diversity: A Critical Approach
examines the variety of ways in which communication of and about gender enables and constrains people’s intersectional identities. Authors Victoria Pruin DeFrancisco and Catherine Helen Palczewski place an emphasis not on how gender influences communication, but on how communication constitutes gender. Operating from a gender diversity perspective,
Communicating Gender Diversity explores how gender is constructed through interpersonal and public discourse about and in the institutions of family, education, work, religion, and media.
Key Features
-
Offers an intersectional approach:
The text does not essentialize gender, but recognizes the way identity ingredients intersect with, and influence, one another.
-
Integrates social scientific, critical/cultural, and rhetorical analyses:
This is the only text that expends extensive time on the work of Judith Butler as it theorizes how gender is something people do and perform, not something they are.
-
Moves beyond an individual, personal understanding of gender:
Gender is not something over which people have absolute control, therefore social change is not something for which a particular person is responsible, but something in which all must participate.
Instructor’s Resources CD!
A comprehensive teacher’s resource CD-ROM contains a detailed conceptual outline of every chapter, discussion questions, extended quotations from key sources for the chapter, additional exercises, and cultural resources to be used as in-class illustrations, such as Web pages, music, and video examples.
Intended Audience
This core text is ideal for courses exploring gender, diversity, and communication as found in departments of Communication, Women’s Studies, Sociology, Psychology, and Cultural Studies.
Customer Reviews:

BUY THESE TAPES.......2000-09-08
BUY THIS NOW. Study it wisely. Dr. S. Betances and his team have developed a unique form of communication that permits him to discuss the subject matter of our national conscience i.e., race and diversity of thought throughout every level of our institutions, to audiences with astounding results. "THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE," is what his audiences have experienced as he teaches the alphabet of Respect in the context of groups, teams and organizations to people throughout our nation and in 17 other countries. This unique insight into human communication has made Dr. B. a guest to Presidents of Nations, Generals of Armies, CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, leaders of eduation as well as organized religion.
In this tape series, Dr. B. answers FAQ's about leadership, qualified personnel, and diversity of thought in the workplace. Even more, he compares and contrasts legal programs that exist for protected classes and diversity of thought throughout every layer of the organization and its benefits. Companies who practice diversity of thought at all levels of their organization meet legal requirements, send a strong signal to every employee that your work matters and opportunities of training will be given to alland promotions will be given to those who have earned it and are most qualified, and that this organization understands that keeping its employees and the bottom line advantages that come from diverse thought at every level germinate the creative thinking to reach into markets that are full of smart consumers, like women and other non-traditional groups.
Lastly, these tapes provide THE SYLLABUS for the practicing administrator or the would-be trainer. In these tapes you will receive sagacious advice on how humor can be used to talk about the situations we need to laugh at in order to move ourselves forward. I believe that Dr. B. is the best at this form of humor. In the most freeing experience, Dr. B. goes on to tell listeners that white males cannot be used as targets for aggression and everything else that has happened wrong to people. White males, Dr. B. informs us, are responsible for getting us to where we are: "They have made the most visible, accountable, and stressful contribution in all of history." God Bless Dr. Betances and AMEN. There is more in his tapes. Dr. B. leave us with a bit of advice: that the trainer/consultant must be obsessed with reading and information. He provides magazine and book titles that have inspired him.
Good luck. BUY THE TAPES. You won't regret it.

Book Description
No one in the workplace is shielded from diversity. There is a widespread and urgent need to improve our ability to understand and be understood by others whose different backgrounds mean that they communicate differently. This need is greatest where it is least recognized, among the members of the dominant groups in society.
Communicating Across Cultures is a vocational guide that offers us the skills to recognize, understand, and overcome communication difficulties among cultures, whether they are based on nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, education, social class, or level of (dis)ability. The author's theoretical and practical discussions, enhanced with many figures, help us to recognize the various values, attitudes, expectations, concerns, and pattern behaviors that we all encounter in the workplace. Communicating Across Cultures is an essential tool in any personnel-training program.
