The Third Wave of Democratization in Latin America: Advances and Setbacks Review

The Third Wave of Democratization in Latin America: Advances and Setbacks Overview

This volume offers an ambitious and comprehensive overview of the unprecedented advances as well as the setbacks in the post-1978 wave of democratization. It explains the sea change from a region dominated by authoritarian regimes to one in which openly authoritarian regimes are the rare exception, and analyzes why some countries have achieved striking gains in democratization while others have experienced erosions. The book presents general theoretical arguments about what causes and sustains democracy in its analysis of nine theoretically compelling country cases.

Check Out Derogatory: Webster's Timeline History, 189 - 2007 for $28.95

Derogatory: Webster's Timeline History, 189 - 2007 Review

Derogatory: Webster's Timeline History, 189 - 2007 Overview

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Derogatory," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Derogatory in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Derogatory when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Derogatory, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Python Cookbook Review

Python Cookbook Overview

Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is the popular open source object-oriented programming language used for both standalone programs and scripting applications. It is now being used by an increasing number of major organizations, including NASA and Google. Updated for Python 2.4, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition offers a wealth of useful code for all Python programmers, not just advanced practitioners. Like its predecessor, the new edition provides solutions to problems that Python programmers face everyday. It now includes over 200 recipes that range from simple tasks, such as working with dictionaries and list comprehensions, to complex tasks, such as monitoring a network and building a templating system. This revised version also includes new chapters on topics such as time, money, and metaprogramming. Here's a list of additional topics covered:

• Manipulating text
• Searching and sorting
• Working with files and the filesystem
• Object-oriented programming
• Dealing with threads and processes
• System administration
• Interacting with databases
• Creating user interfaces
• Network and web programming
• Processing XML
• Distributed programming
• Debugging and testing

Another advantage of The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is its trio of authors--three well-known Python programming experts, who are highly visible on email lists and in newsgroups, and speak often at Python conferences. With scores of practical examples and pertinent background information, The Python Cookbook, 2nd Edition is the one source you need if you're looking to build efficient, flexible, scalable, and well-integrated systems.

A New Game Plan for C Players (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) Review

A New Game Plan for C Players (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) Overview

This is an enhanced edition of the HBR reprint R0201G, originally published in January 2002. HBR OnPoint articles save you time by enhancing an original Harvard Business Review article with an overview that draws out the main points and an annotated bibliography that points you to related resources. This enables you to scan, absorb, and share the management insights with others. It's a big driver of business success, but one that executives are loath to talk about: upgrading the management talent pool by weeding out "C" players--those who deliver results that are acceptable but who fail to innovate or inspire the people they lead. In this article, the authors of The War for Talent explore the hidden costs of tolerating underperformance and acknowledge the reasons why executives may shy away from dealing decisively with C players. They recommend that organizations establish rigorous, disciplined processes for assessing and dealing with low-performing managers but still treat them with respect. The authors outline three ironhanded step for executives to take. First, identify C players by evaluating their talents and distributing employee performances along an assessment curve. Second, agree on explicit action plans that articulate the improvements or changes that C performers must achieve within six to 12 months. And third, hold managers accountable for carrying out the action plans. The authors also emphasize the need for executives to ensure that low performers are treated with dignity--offer candid feedback, instructive coaching, and generous severance packages and outplacement support. The authors' approach isn't about being tough on people; it's about being relentlessly focused on performance.
