    Product Description

    In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have occasionally been asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services in New Caledonia. The purpose of this study is to understand the density of demand within New Caledonia and the extent to which Noumea might be used as a point of distribution within Oceana. From an economic perspective, however, Noumea does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries, rather, it represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another. In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for Noumea over the next five years for hundreds of industries, categories and products. The goal of this report is to report the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by Noumea when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category "satellite launch vehicles". Clearly, there are no launch pads in Noumea used by the space industry to launch satellites. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is "consumed" by the area served by Noumea. Without Noumea, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the population in New Caledonia, Oceana, or the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both Oceana and Noumea. The data presented are the result of various spatial econometric and time-series forecasting models which, for each category presented, are applied to forecast and allocate demand across all countries of the world and major distribution centers or centers of dominant influence within each country. This is accomplished knowing that economic fundamentals (e.g. income) generally vary from one city to another within a given country over time. In this report, I report the allocation for each category for Noumea as an area of dominant influence in New Caledonia and, potentially, Oceana. Important Caveat. Category definitions may overlap. The sum of multiple categories, therefore, may double count.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Treasure of a Book.......2000-12-29

                    From the moment I opened this book I was entranced by its luxurient pictures. Catala, the director of an aquarium in New Caledonia, has used his resources well to provide us with a glimpse of many organisms that the vast majority of us will never see otherwise. Specimens range from the common to the extremely rare, and his coverage of the various marine life groups is well balanced. The accompanying text is very informitive, although his humor is slightly erratic. Unfortunately, the text doesn't follow the same sequence as the pictures, and often there are a couple pages to flip in order to reference a figure. Its slightly annoying, but the sheer number and quality of the photographs makes up for it. All in all, this book is an amazing reference for anyone who wants to see the extraordinarly diverse types of animals in our oceans, as well as those interested in tropical marine life.

                      Book Description

                      "One would think that I had never done anything worthwhile but the telephone," complained Alexander Graham Bell. No wonder he was annoyed; Bell invented the phone when he was just 29 and went on to lead a long and inventive life. This photo-biography chronicles the life and many remarkable achievements of Alexander Graham Bell, including his work with the hearing impaired and experiments with flight, iceberg locators and, of course, the telephone.

                                While this is an interesting work, unfortunately it is also fatally flawed. In 2001 the American Historical Association reported upon a complaint that this work is heavily based upon plagiarism. While the AHA rarely reports upon such complaints, in this case the evidence was so clear that they felt compelled to notify the historical community. According to Robert Bruce, the pulitzer prize winning historian whose book,Bell: Alexander Graham Bell and the Conquest of Solitude (Boston, 1973), was the subject of MacKay's actions, MacKay's American publisher withdrew the book and destroyed all copies in stock. Those books which are still in circulation represent the books sold prior to the problem being brought to the attention of the publishers.

                                      "Dr. Glasser's therapy is based on inescapable truths: Meaningful relationships are central to the good life, the choices we make will determine their quality, and we can only create them if we take responsibility for ourselves without controlling the other person. His vivid stories and dialogues illustrate how to go about creating a good life." -- From the foreword by Peter Breggin, M.D.

                                      In this long-awaited continuation of his most successful book, Reality Therapy, Dr. William Glasser takes readers into his consulting room and illustrates through a series of conversations with his patients, exactly how he puts his popular therapeutic theories into practice.

                                      Dr. Glasser introduces us to among others:

                                      These vivid, almost novelistic case histories bring Dr. Glasser's new version of this therapy to life, and show readers how to get rid of the controlling, punishing, i know what's right for you psychology that crops up in most situations when. people face conflict with one another.

                                      Practical and readable, Reality Therapy in Action is Dr. Glasser's most accessible book in years.

                                      The next best thing to watching videos of his work! Glasser explains his techniques and concurrent thinking in a clear and concise manner. Great read and highly recommended.

                                      I am a believer in many of Glasser's ideas and use his theory within my work. I was so excited to find a new discussion of cases because I had grown so much from < >. I received this book and upon reading the first page realized I was reading something I had read before. This book is the paperback edition of < >. I recommend the book to anyone who desires to be empowered and wants to see where you have more choices than you think. However, if you've read (or like me own) < >, check out something else by Glasser.

                                      This is in my opinion one of the best works by William Glasser, one that clearly illuminates both Dr. Glasser's thought processes as well as the ethical grid from which he makes his peoplehelping decisions. His focus on choice as the central feature of all human difficulties as well as helping efforts clearly puts him inside of a most noble tradition that includes Thomas Szasz, Harold Greenwald and John Narciso. Regardless of whether you come to this book as a professional or as a layperson, I would recommend that you closely read, study and apply what you can from the sterling case studies Dr. Glasser lays out before you in this book.

                                      5 out of 5 stars The Mind of A Therapist in Action.......1999-12-12

                                      There is a certain fascination about reading case studies but these are special. The creator of Reality Therapy, William Glasser, opens his mind to the reader explaining the processes that guide his interventions with the clients. This gives a rare insight into the mind of a great therapist and theorist. The book contains 12 case studies some of which are documented over several sessions. They provide a range of typical counselling scenarios and Glasser explains how he applies Choice Theory through Reality Therapy. Several of the cases bring very modern issues into focus.

                                      The book also offers the reader many ideas for dealing with the range of problems represented in its pages. Moreover, it shows clearly just how important a solid guiding theory is in the practice of therapy.

                                      One comforting feature for the professional therapist is Glasser's admission of doubts and even mistakes in his process as he sometimes backtracks to change the focus of his counselling. There is a lot to be learned from his exploratory methods.

                                      I write as an Instructor in Reality Therapy with an obvious personal interest in having a resource such as this available to my own trainees. However I believe that the practice and theory presented in < > will interest all students of counselling and therapy. Its firm approval by people such as Albert Ellis, Gerald Corey and Peter Breggin is a fair indication that this book will have an appeal beyond the confines of Reality Therapy and Choice Theory.

                                      For the lay reader there is the Choice Theory message of personal responsibility, that in all human predicaments we have a choice. This is a message of hope and optimism well suited to a book that greets a new millennium.

                                        Mangos have dazzled palates acrossed the globe for centuries with their aroma, taste, texture, and seemingly endless shapes, sizes, and colors. The Sanskrit word for mango is amra, meaning "of the people," and in India alone there are over 350 varieties. Author and renowned chef Allen Susser's word for mango is yum, and his GREAT MANGO BOOK is bursting with juicy mango history and tantalizing recipes for chutnies, curries, and cocktails. Gorgeous, mouth-watering photographs of more than 40 mango varieties from around the world are served up, alongside the scoop on their origin, characterisics, ripening tips, and use. After a dip into the pool of mango lore and a sip of Mango Martini you'll be singing the praises of this truly remarkable fruit. Forever mango!

                                        4 out of 5 stars Word from Mango Country.......2006-12-22

                                        The Author has done a good compilation on different varieties with good pictures and diagrams. The term "Mango" is unlikely to have originated from Portuguese as the Author has written. The Portuguese must have picked it up from the locals. The most likely origin is from Tamil a very ancient language spoken in southern parts of India where the unripe fruit is called "Manga".

                                        5 out of 5 stars The best mango book yet!.......2005-06-15

                                        What can I say about a mango book? My most favorite fruit of all and one I have been collecting recipes and info for many, many years. To tell you how my mind works, when I see a recipe that calls for peaches, apricots or nectarines, my mind is already reading mango instead!
                                        The book starts with a small discussion on the different varieties of mangoes, with about 150 varieties, one of the most popular fruits in the whole world. It gives a great introduction to Chef Allen's conversion to mango afficionado and also a brief history of the fruit itself. There is a photo of chef Allen himself among baskets and baskets of dozens and
                                        dozens of different varieties during one of the (what is now yearly) Mango Days Festival at the Fairchild Tropical Garden's in Miami!

                                        Then the book goes on to describe each variety with color photos of each and some of the ways to slice them for exotic effect in food plates. The recipe section starts with 14 mouth-watering recipes for Beverages and Starters, on to Main Dishes, Condiments and some incredible Desserts.
                                        Another prized book in my growing collection of Tropical Fruit Books!

                                        As the title suggests this is THE great Mango Book of the decade. If you've been looking forward to an updated mango digest after the classic 1930's 'Mango Encyclopedia/Dictionary then this is the book for you. However as a small footnote those of you with no prior experiance of mango jargo will better stay clear or buy the Junior Mango Encyclopedia before moving onto this heavier, more advanced and comprohensive account of the history of the Mango.

                                        I am nuts about mangos, they are one of my favorites, besides pineapple, cashews, and all fruits.

                                        I've been awaiting this offering from "The Great" series published by TenSpeed Press, who have to be one of the greatest culinary publishers of our times. Their books are so well done, and this by Chef Susser is no exception.

                                        It has fine photos of all the mango types, how to buy and store them, and recipes for their utilization.

                                        Of special note from the recipes are such as: Mango Frappe (a delicious iced mango drink of Grand Mariner, lime, honey, ice cream and mangos), Crab and Mango Salad (pictured in gorgeous stack fashion), Lamb Chops with Dried Mango and Ginger, and one that is to die for: Roast Pork Loin with Mango Mojo and Yellow Plantains. His dessert creativity is exceptional, with such scrumptuous offerings as Mango, Banana and Pistachio Strudel, Mango Sour Cream Crumb Cake, and Country Mango Tarts. This section certainly is strong, and many will turn to it as a sure source of raves from dessert partakers.

                                        A section on all kinds of condiments, salsa to ketchup to vinegar,etc. all with mangos. What an exceptional fruit, both in its fragrance, taste and visual appeal. When balanced with hot, spicy, this is a gourmet building block that is substantial as Susser so ably provides in this wonderful addition to mango lovers everywhere.
