On August 1, 1975, thirty-five nations solemnly signed a pledge--the Helsinki Accords--to maintain one code of human rights law. This book surveys the performance of these countries in upholding the rights important to scientists--the rights to education, work, communication, expression, travel, assembly, association, reputation and intellectual achievement. It describes where and when the rights were observed or violated and what scientists could do to promote a fuller observance in the future.

Many people are ill-equipped to deal with modern-day stressors, causing them to react as though they are being attacked. In Coaching for Resilience, Adrienne Green and John Humphrey use the principles of positive psychology to show coaches, trainers and managers how to motivate and inspire people to build greater resilience to pressure. They present seven key strategies for managing stress that are based around the awareness and understanding of the two psychological drivers that underlie all stress. With practical exercises and examples, this comprehensive resource offers an effective way to deal with stress that will enhance personal and work-related performance.

As developing markets are opened up to global  competition, firms in developing countries are being confronted with a host of new problems. In order to explore a broad systemic response to the challenge of globalization, the authors of this unique book critically examine the case of Crompton Greaves Limited, a leading Indian firm in the electrical industry. The book suggests that the answer to this challenge lies in a change in strategic focus rather than in the acquisition of costly new technologies.
