简介：An effective system of corporate governance has both internal and external aspects that have to be sufficiently responsive if governance is to succeed. In this book, Ahmed Naciri examines these two core aspects or the latest buzzword in business and management theory. Internal aspects include ownership structure, the board of directors and committees, internal control, risk management, transparency and financial reporting. External aspects can either be market-oriented, or can take the form of credit ranking, and/or social requirements. Due to the original orientation of the Sarbanes/Oxley Law, concentrating solely on financial disclosure and given its decisive and tremendous influence on all other similar corporate governance legislations all over the world, most writings on corporate governance have dealt with solely internal corporate governance mechanisms. This book aim is to fill up the gap by using a systemic approach and giving a global picture of the corporate governance theoretical foundations, mainly by putting the emphasis on its double dimension: internal and external.

简介：In this first book of its kind, you will hear the voices that you have never heard before: Listen to Abu-Ahmed, a simple Iraqi teacher and farmer, as he recounts the tale of his capture, along with his son, by the Americans. Live with them through their imprisonment in Abu-Ghraib and Camp Bucca and watch him as he struggles to stop his son from becoming a suicide bomber. Listen to Lieutenant Davis, an American soldier on his first tour of duty in Iraq, as he tries to do his part in restoring the image of his country after the damage done to it by the Abu-Ghraib abuse scandal and as he watches, along with the whole US Military, their efforts being derailed by the insensitivities, blunders and atrocities of a few misguided soldiers. Listen to Bob, the contractor, who went first to American as an Iraqi with a single mission: kill as many Americans as he can, only to return to his native country as an Iraqi-American working for the military and torn between the loyalty of his blood to Iraq and the loyalty of his mind to America. Listen to Sheikh Zeeb, the insurgent, as he goes on a bloody Jihad and an endless vendetta against the Americans and their Iraqi allies and as he does what he does best: recruit and brainwash the young men of "the lost generation" for his suicide missions. Four lives brought together by destiny, and changed forever by Iraq.

简介：　　This is the first comprehensive visual documentation of the Tea Horse Road that takes the audience on a journey from the birthplace of the tea plant along the oldest trade route of tea in the world. It is also one of the oldest and highest trade routes. Accompanying Michael Freeman's spectacular photographers is text drawing on first-hand experiences, primary research and extensive archival research by Dr. Selena Ahmed. Starting in tea forests in the mountains of southern Yunnan, through Tibet and into India, it explores the rich cultural practices and biological diversity of the communities the Tea Horse Road passes. The audience gets to know the plants and people, the lives and landscapes experienced through the exchange of tea. The book places the historical Tea-Horse Road in a contemporary context through a discussion on current issues including biodiversity, livelihoods, organic farming, globalization, health, and antioxidants. The book should thus be attractive to a wide audience, not just tea enthusiasts, geographers, or naturalists. The authors are well-positioned to write this account as experts in their fields. Michael Freeman is one the most widely published photographers. He has published over120 books, was a leading photographer for Smithsonian for 3 decades, teaches courses on photography, and specializes on the cultures of South East Asia. Ethnobotanist Dr. Selena Ahmed specializes in tea research. She spent 4 years in Yunnan studying links between cultural practices, the environment, and human wellbeing associated with tea production and consumption. She is currently continuing research on tea at the Antioxidants Research Lab at Tufts University.

Human rights in cross-cultural perspectives:a quest for consensus

作者：  Abdullahi Ahmed An-Nacim编著;潘欣欣，倪世杰译

出版社：韦伯文化国际出版有限公司,2008

简介：　　侵害人權這件糟糕的事在世界個角落都進行著，驚恐與悲傷通常是對這種殘忍之事的普遍反應，就像Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im以及本書其它作者所試圖證明的，我們對人權的觀點，通常被我們本身所處原生文化的期待所造成的遮蔽與偏差所影響著。在其它文化傳統中會如何看待人權？可不可能有一種分析方式，能夠同時兼具跨文化與本土的的多重觀點，幫助我們重新詮釋並重建當前流行的人權理論？這本書的作者群在闡明如此複雜的問題上做出了卓越的貢獻，無論是寫作與資料呈現而言，都提供一個經過徹底研究、銳利深入的分析與闡述。這本書提供了相當出色的個案研究，並從這些研究中檢視當與人權議題發生衝突時，不同文化傳統的並存與衰落，同時從哲學立場上提出了認真的批判。 　　■推薦詞 　　無論是研究人權在跨文化架構中的合法性還是對此議題有興趣的一般讀者而言，我們都十分推薦這一本書。─Human Rights Quarterly

简介：Recent years have witnessed considerable consolidation between the disciplines of environmental and ecological economics at research level, but until now textbooks in the area have done little to reflect this. Ahmed Hussen's book is to date the only one to reconcile the two standpoints. The central focus of the book will continue to be on this systematic integration of both mainstream and ecological approaches to environmental economics, and an acknowledgement that enduring solutions to major contemporary environmental challenges can be obtained through studies based on a well-conceived and balanced interdisciplinary approach. However, this third edition also contains much that is new. Chiefly, brand new chapters appear covering the following topics: The economics of climate change The economics of biodiversity and ecosystem services 'Green' accounting and alternative economic and social indicators of sustainability The business case for environmental sustainability An Appendix that provides a brief historical account of the development of ecological economics The result is a comprehensive introduction to the main facets of environmental and ecological economics - a text that boldly refuses to put up barriers between disciplines and takes a holistic approach to vital issues. This student-friendly textbook contains a variety of study tools including learning points, boxed features, case studies, revision questions and discussion questions, and an Appendix that provides students with a review of basic economic principles relevant to the study of the environment and its management. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will prove an excellent choice for introducing both students and academics to the world of environmental economics.

Good to eat:riddles of food and culture

简介： 從吃牛、吃狗到吃人 從文化、營養到生態 展開縱貫古今、橫跨全球的飲食知性之旅 讓你對吃的想法從此改觀 談吃不是美食家的專利 且看人類學家如何為你解開食物的文化之謎 人類幾乎無所不吃，覓食、獵食及生產食物的手段，也是獨步全球。可是人是如何辨別吃這個好？吃那個不好？是因為宗教？是因為口味？還是因為價格？看似單純的「吃」與「不吃」，在人類學家好奇的探索下，為我們揭露了令人驚嘆的謎底，給你種種意想不到的答案。 推薦序 我如此活，故我如此吃--汪治惠 這是一本人類學家的「食味著作」，不是教人怎麼吃，而是揭露人類為何「如此吃」的道理。 和我一樣，具有國外生活、求學或工作經驗的朋友，都有如此的感受。首先，你會發現生活四周，充滿了各式各樣具有明顯不同「食物偏好」的人。 好比Ahmed先生和Hadassah小姐都不吃豬肉，但前者是穆斯林，而後者不但是猶太人，還有個身為「拉比」的父親。猶太拉比，是猶太人族群中一個特別階層，社會地位尊崇，是老師、學者，也是智者的象徵。出生於如此的家庭， Hadassah必須嚴格遵守規範猶太人飲食原則的法典。吃食「符合」這些規則，便是做到 Kosher，亦即「潔淨」之意。對猶太人而言，吃潔淨的食物非常重要；而這種潔淨，並不是今日我們所認定的「衛生標準」，而是神給予猶太人的「規定」。既是「規定」，不需追問邏輯，只要嚴格遵守。在近代商品社會中，商人們早已能根據猶太人飲食原則，創造、販售、提供符合 Kosher原則的 Kosher Food，賺取利潤。 同是信奉佛教的春嬌與志明，都吃素（vegetarian），但是一位只吃全素，另一位卻可以吃蛋、喝牛奶。相同的宗教信仰，對食物的容忍程度，有明顯差別。但是把眼光放遠些，雖同為佛教徒，主張不殺生、不吃肉，但是泰國和尚卻是雜食、還吃豬肉。我的西藏仁波切師父，雖也是佛教徒，但他吃葷，還告訴我們「個體單位體型大、能供食更多人的動物源」是選擇原則。 至於我家也有「食物偏好」。我的母親，來自務農的閩南農家，加上本身信仰佛教，所以是吃米飯、不吃牛肉、勤儉的農家女士生活習慣。我的父親，出生在小麥為主的北方，卻在南方米鄉度過大部分的人生，但是他的根本飲食習慣，還是愛吃麵食，大碗喝酒、大塊吃肉，喜歡辛辣蒜蔥的北方食味。至於我，除了健康考量的少數自我飲食限制外，基本上不挑食、也不偏食。但是某些「太奇怪、太恐怖、不衛生、不保育」的食材與烹調方法，則一概敬謝不敏。

Cross-border pipeline arrangements : what would a single regulatory framework look like? /

作者：  Chowdhury Ishrak Ahmed Siddiky.

出版社：

简介：　　This book deals with the problems which occur when one or more parties in a pipeline do not abide by some obligations agreed among them at the beginning of the project. Such problems are most serious when geo-political, legal, or economic developments lead governments to intervene, resulting in the breach of a legitimate expectation of the stakeholders involved. Using regime theory as an analytical tool, the author explores participant behaviour in seven specific case studies that manifest different levels of enforcement to constrain intervention. In the course of the analysis he covers such aspects as the following: the basic principles of freedom of transit, non-interference, non-discrimination, and equal treatment; the government s role as provider of security and stability; crucial importance of government credibility; pipelines as national strategic assets; energy security; land acquisition and appropriate compensation; third party access; transit tariffs and fees; environmental and safety standards; liability; each country s role in safeguarding the pipeline; and the effect of new national oil and gas legislation in any country partner. 　　 　　In the final analysis the author proposes the creation of an autonomous unifying mechanism in the form of an agency with strong regime credentials. He shows how such a body would reduce the level of intervention by government or other parties in the pipeline regime, without interfering in the sovereignty of any particular country. He clearly outlines the process through which the agency would use its enforcement capabilities. As more and more pipelines are being built all over the world, and as the nature of relations among energy exporting, importing, and transit countries becomes ever more critical, this book comes as a fresh and cogent approach to this very important subject. It will be welcomed by all interested parties in oil and gas industry and regulation, as well as by academics and officials in international relations.

简介：　　Sorrow and Joy among Muslim Women 　　The Pukhtuns are numerically and politically one of the most significant ethnolinguistic groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This important study of Pukhtun society concentrates on the lives, thoughts and gham-khādi (funeral-wedding) ceremonies of the women, especially of the elite, wealthy and educated women (Bibiane) who have largely been overlooked in previous studies. Contesting their conventional representation as idle, it illustrates their commitment to various forms of work within familial and social contexts. It challenges the commonly assumed models of contemporary Pakistan society, which make a simplistic divide between rural and urban, Punjab and non-Punjab, and feudal and non-feudal spaces and peoples. It also contributes to broader debates about the nature and expression of elite cultures and issues of sociality, funerals and marriage, custom and religion, space and gender, morality and reason, and social role and personhood within the contexts of Islam in the Middle East and South Asia. 　　AMINEH AHMED HOTI received her PhD from the Faculty of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge and is a Visiting Scholar at Lucy Cavendish College. She runs the Society for Dialogue and Action, which promotes understanding between people of the Abrahamic faiths, namely Jews, Christians and Muslims.

简介：'What is madness?' asks the narrator of Ahmed Alaidy's jittery, funny, and angry new novel, Being Abbas el Abd. Assuring readers that they are about to find out, the narrator takes us on his subsequent itinerary through the insanity of present-day Cairo: in and out of minibuses, malls, and crash pads. Despite sniper fire from multiple sources (traffic cops, buxom but inaccessible co-eds, minibus barkers drumming belly-dance rhythms on the paneling of their vehicles, and others) the narrator navigates the city's pinball machine of social life with tolerable efficiency, and is ever ready with a withering response. In the interstices of his grouchy, chain-smoking, pharmaceutically-oriented, twenty-something life, however, lurk characters such as his elusive Uncle Awni, a well-known psychiatrist now on an ever-extending visit to America. And then there's Abbas, the narrator's best friend who, while delivering mordant homilies on life and society ("We will survive only when we ve turned our museums into public lavatories"), surfaces at critical moments to drive our hero into uncontrollably multiplying difficulties. For instance, there's the ticklish situation with the simultaneous blind-dates Abbas has set up for him in coffee-shops on different levels of a Cairo mall with two girls both called Hind. With friends like Abbas, what paranoiac needs enemies? Sharing the intensity of Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club and the hip sensibility of Douglas Coupland's Generation X, Ahmed Alaidy's work pushes the limits of written Arabic, developing private meanings and personal rhythms that mirror the weft and warp of the narrator's mind and revel in every linguistic register from ironic high Classical Arabic to the ingenious abuse of the streets via the hip colloquial of Egypt's 'what-have-I-got-to-lose' generation. A literary sensation in its original Arabic edition, Being Abbas el Abd heralds the arrival of a major new voice in Arabic literature.

简介：Mandela: The Authorized Portrait was created by a team of award-winning writers, photographers, and researchers in collaboration with Mandela's closest living comrades from Robben Island, Mac Maharaj and Ahmed Kathrada. Among the narrative contributors are biographer Mike Nichol and three interviewers personally selected by Nelson Mandela: Ros Coward, Professor Tim Couzens, and Amina Frense. On February 11, 1990, a dignified elderly man walked hand-in-hand with the wife from whom he had been forced to live apart for twenty-seven years out of prison and into history. It is a date and an image the world will never forget: the day Nelson Mandela was freed. From that day on, Nelson Mandela's immense courage and personal moral authority moved out of the shadows of his prison cell to stand as beacons of hope first to a bitterly divided nation and then to the whole world. Other images have followed: a smiling Mandela casting his vote in his country's first general election, a solemn Mandela at his inauguration as the first president of a democratic South Africa, Mandela with world leaders, with celebrities, with his wife Gra莽a Machel and his family, in the midst of the crowds of children who are drawn to hims wherever he goes. Nelson Mandela occupies a unique place in our world. In Mandela: The Authorized Portrait the narrative of his epic journey to freedom is accompanied by the most complete collection of images ever assembled and by more than sixty specially commissioned interviews. World leaders, friends, and associates ranging from President Clinton to Tony Blair, from Bono to President Thabo Mbeki, from his comrades in the South African struggle against apartheid to Muhammad Ali have all contributed their individual stories to build a compelling picture of this inspirational man through the eyes of those closest to him. - Dust jacket.
