This literary memoir tells the story of a young man's illness and confrontation with death as seen through the eyes of his father. It also tells the story of parents and children, of doctors and patients, and of the underside of high-technology medicine. The book weaves together the significant events of Jesse's life as it moves back and forth between his hospitalization for a liver transplant, his earlier life, and the author's present-day experience of grief.
This collection of essays addresses many of the issues raised by North American integration through the lens of one of the largest and most global industries in the region: textiles and apparel. The industry serves as an illustration of larger trends in the global economy. Contributors to the volume are an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars who conducted fieldwork at the firm and factory levels in one or more countries in North America.
A new paradigm for leadership is called for in this new book by Jeffrey Garten, who says its purpose is to inspire "a public debate about business and society in the years ahead so as to create a revolution in business strategy and values." Garten poses two questions in the book: "What is the emerging shape of the world in the wake of both the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the corporate scandals that began with Enron?" and "What role should business leaders play in this new era?" He recommends a new agenda for CEOs; one that will both require them to rebuild their tarnished reputations and partner with the government in charting a course that differs radically from the 1980s and 1990s.
This new paperback edition is the inaugural volume of a projected 75-volume series on The Culture and Civilization of China. The book is considered the most comprehensive account of Chinese painting from prehistoric times to the present. The earlier cloth edition was both a selection of the Book of the Month Club and winner of the 1997 Hawkins Award in the arts category given by the Association of American Publishers, Inc., Professional Publishing Division.
