Can Our Cities Survive

sameness of Europe which should draw our attention but its variety. One of the ways in which this diversity makes itself apparent is through travel. Sometimes this can involve a short stay in another part of the continent, in which the difference is perceived as a pleasant diversion, or a source of cultural enrichment. For many people, though, movement around the European Union is a much more sobering search for a better quality of life and can lead to long term…

Barksdaleand Darden 1971; McNamara 1972). The business philosophy can be contrastedwith its implementation reflected in the activities and behaviors of an organization. In keeping with tradition(e.g., McCarthyand Perreault1984, p. orientation" mean the to 36), we use the term "market implementationof the…

calls. I made a quick call home on the train to say what time I would be arriving. How do you use your mobile – for making or receiving calls, or both? My wife called me from the supermarket to ask what I wanted for dinner. Alan, I’m in a restaurant. Can I call you back later? There’s nothing worse than sitting on a train and having to listen to somebody else’s annoying mobile phone chatter. make a call receive a call call (v) call (sb) back (phr v) chatter (n) \ÆmeIk ´ "kO…l\…

the entirety of Setagaya-ku would fit on it. Above, there were 100 floors stacked directly on top of each other; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of. Inside, there were a couple of large cities, countless small towns and villages, forests, plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways were in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed, so discovering and getting through was no…

philosophical thought. What is and is not included within the canon during a particular historical period is a result of many factors. Although no canonization of texts will include all philosophers, no canonization of texts that excludes all but a few women can offer an accurate representation of the history of the discipline, as women have been philosophers since the ancient period.2 I share with many feminist philosophers and other philosophers writing from the margins of philosophy…

attacks—including, of course, those of September 11, 2001—have been perpetrated by Muslim terrorists professing religious motives, it might seem obvious that Islamic fundamentalism is the central cause. This presumption has fueled the belief that future 9/11’s can be avoided only by a wholesale transformation of Muslim societies, a core reason for broad public support in the United States for the recent conquest of Iraq. However, the presumed connection between suicide terrorism and…

beyond the immediate future as scenarios are developed which describe their expectations about future time periods. Budgets are often constructed for several years at a time and are rolled over annually so that the appropriateness of a budgeted amount can be reviewed several times before it is operationalzed. Phase 2 planning is very “now” oriented. Current operations and characteristics are stressed in analyses of the firm and there is little attention to or patience for considering…

first understand why it can sound so good. Many supporters of a “one-world religion” have aims that, in fact, appear to be both visionary and vitally necessary. Throughout history, there have been endless divisive, bloodthirsty edicts from rabbis, Popes, ministers, and imams — demands for life-or-death allegiance to Yahweh, Christ, or Allah. Now, our world is armed to the teeth, and members of all the great religions have access to nuclear weapons — weapons that we can use to act out…
