Japanese Business into the 21st Century

Book Description

Kozo Uno influenced a whole generation of marxian political economists in post World War II Japan. Thomas Sekine worked closely with Uno in Japan and later came to York University in Toronto, where he introduced Uno's ideas to Canadian scholars. Sekine has significantly enlarged and refined Uno's work, and in the process has influenced scholars in both Japan and Canada. This anthology is a collection of essays in marxian political economy by scholars who have been influenced by Sekine's particular appropriation of Uno's ideas.

Book Description

"The American Home Front" is a comparative analysis of the economic, political, and social results of America's four principal wars, this study reveals the major issues faced by each wartime administration and sketches the consequences of the mobilization policies adopted.

Each conflict occurred in unique circumstances, required varied policies, and produced different effects on American institutions.

Book Description

A pane of glass, no more than three inches thick, separates store from sidewalk. On one side, an air-conditioned interior welcomes those who can afford the merchandise inside; on the other, from the weather-beaten street, passersby may, in the time-honored ritual of window shopping, look for free.

Window retail displays of the high-end kind, in which a temporary mise-en-sc ne presents expensive merchandise, have been neglected as a design discipline although they play a significant role in our consumer culture. Forefront features displays by such designers as Simon Doonan, David Hoey, John Field, Janet Wardley, and Kozo Fujimoto, in venues including Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Gucci, Herm s, Moschino, Shreve, Crump & Low, and Vin on. Window dressers and window shoppers alike will delight in this colorful parade of displays.

Customer Reviews:

Highly recommended.......2005-09-14

"Forefront" is a beautiful, compelling book that explores the realms between fashion as art and as commerce,and the cultural identities shaped by clothing and accessories through their display. The text and its graphic presentation set up the critical framework through which to view this rich experience of virtual window shopping. I highly recommend "Forefront" to anyone interested in art, architecture, history, consumerism, sociology, psychology, retail, and fashion design.

Amazon.com

In Through the Windows of Paris, the reader is spirited away, like Alice through the looking glass, to a Paris where old-world skill and personal service are still the rule. Each of the 50 listings--every one the sort of establishment you'd love to seek out on your next trip--is treated with a rich spread of color photographs and an evocative depiction:

[Le Pont Traversee] One of the grandest boucheries in Paris, with the patterned marble façade and carved wood frames, has become a wonderfully ramshackle bookshop that specializes in literature of every kind. Established in 1974 by the poet Marcel Béalu, it is now run by his widow, Josée. Ceiling hooks recall the sides of beef and lamb that must once have occupied the space; now the challenge is to step lightly around tottering piles and climb the ladder past laden shelves, hoping they won't come crashing down in your search for an elusive volume of Baudelaire's poetry.

Step through doors decrepit or grand, deco or nouveau, and discover a wealth of unique, handmade treasures that would put Cartier to shame. The wine merchants, chocolatiers, toy makers, milliners, antiques shops, and lingerie makers celebrated in this charming little book define craftsmanship and good taste, and provide a sumptuous alternative to a day in line at the Louvre. --Jhana Bach

Book Description

Shop windows and interiors are among the glories of Paris-as enticing as its museums and grand vistas but far less tiring to explore. They distill the qualities we most admire in the City of Light: a love of fantasy and tradition of craft and style, and the art of doing simple things well. The richly illustrated text of Through the Windows of Paris sketches the history of shopping in Paris and evokes the special character of the city. There is no better place to find it than in the boutiques selling crusty bread and creamy cheese, witty hats and luxurious lingerie. Michael Webb has chosen fifty of the most intriguing shops in Paris for their individuality and the beauty of their displays. New or old, tiny or expansive, they engage all the senses and reveal the true character of the capital. This book comprises 160 color images of fifty unique shops and a comprehensive list of addresses, telephone numbers, and metro stops. Whether you make the trip from your armchair or hop on the next plane, this book will guide you, in words and pictures, through the windows of Paris.

the character of paris.......2000-10-05

a wonderful book, showing the real character of paris to whet your appetite. as someone who is soon to go to Paris for the first time, i loved this book for doing the legwork for me in finding those little boutiques that add character to your holiday , that i probably would have missed. i'm sure they will lead me to other great little shops and experiences.

Beautiful book - great addresses!.......1999-06-09

As a part-time resident of Paris, I thought I knew all of the "bons addresses", those hard-to-find shops where you can find that perfect, unique gift for yourself or someone at home. I was wrong! On my next trip to Paris, I'll be looking into a number of the lovely boutiques mentioned in this book. Not only are the addresses provided, complete with compelling descriptions, but there are gorgeous photos that make your mouth water in anticipation of actually visiting these havens of shopping pleasure, if only to browse and take in the beauty of their wares. Bravo to the authors and photographer!

The Window Shop: Safe Harbor for Refugees
Ellen Miller
Manufacturer: iUniverse, Inc.
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

General | World | History | Subjects | Books
ASIN: 0595406203

Book Description

From its beginning in 1939, the Window Shop of Cambridge, Massachusetts, provided a safe harbor for hundreds of German and Austrian refugees who fled from Hitler to America. It was founded by concerned Cambridge residents who were guided only by their desire to help the refugees. Together they created a nonprofit enterprise that was unparalleled in its success and influence.

"By the time the Window Shop moved to 56 Brattle Street in 1947, it had become a favorite haunt for the diverse community of European intellectuals who fled to Cambridge, such as architect Walter Gropius. The continental food and atmosphere provided a welcome link to their past. 'It makes people feel at home to find here in Cambridge goodies they had.in their childhood,' Alice Broch told the Christian Science Monitor in 1955."
-The Boston Globe, Jan. 4, 1995

"I shall never be at a loss where to take one of my grandchildren for a delightful meal if I find myself in Cambridge. So many happy faces greeted me there-these women who had been in concentration camps or had spent long years waiting to find themselves able to begin life again in a new country, and now actually at work helping their husbands or their children to start again. You are glad you live in an America which can be a land of hope."
-Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day, May 30, 1950

Product Description

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing in China face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing to China? How important is China compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing vary from one country of origin to another in China? On the supply side, China also exports tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing. Which countries receive the most exports from China? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing in China. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing for those countries serving China via exports, or supplying from China via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where China fits into the world market for imported and exported tailors dummies, lay figures, automatons, and animated displays used for shop window dressing. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for China in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that China is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize China compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
