Identity, Culture and Globalization

This may be the most important business book that  you will buy this year.... Sheffi, an MIT Professor of engineering who writes with refreshing clarity and first-hand business knowledge has produced a practical guide, not just another risk management manual.&#8212;Director Magazine&mdash;However counter-intuitive this may sound, Sheffi's detailed examination of the supply chainbreadsowns at companies such as Amazon, Dell, General Motors, Intel, and UPS leaves little room for doubting his key messages: disaster might not be frequent but it is inevitable. And, the measures that organizations undertake before the event will almost certainly have a greater influence on the subsequent consequences than anything they might do afterwards.&#8212;Information Age&mdash;In this world of 'lean inventory' this is a cautionary book that needs to be taken seriously.&#8212;800 CEO-Read&mdash;[Sheffi is] quickly becoming the global expert on resilient enterprises.&#8212;John Robb's Weblog&mdash;The book offers solid advice and plenty of case studies on reducing vulnerability (start with an exhaustive analysis of your weaknesses), and on increasing supply chain flexibility (consider a last-minute customization program for certain products). And by the way, flexible companies are also top performers on a daily basis, writes Sheffi. We especially appreciated the book's 'Profile of a Disruption' and its warning that disruptions can keep on disrupting long after the fire is out. Just ask Ericsson.&#8212;Sean Silverthorne , HBS Working Knowledge&mdash;

"This book captures the style and personality of both Alice Temperley and her namesake line through its successful first decade in the fashion industry. Catch beautiful photographs like this (the spring 2007 campaign) and other elaborate photographs in this scrapbook-like tome." ~In Style"There has been many a monograph printed on many a fashion designer, but this has to be one of the most successful at capturing a designer&rsquo;s ethos and aesthetic. Maybe it helps that the free-spirited Temperley is the author of the book. Either way, anyone that loves Temperley&rsquo;s bohemian-romantic fashions should fetch this charming book, documenting her gypset lifestyle as much as her fashions..." ~Luxe Crush Atlanta

"This brief, illustrated biography explores how the life of pioneering photojournalist Dorothea Lange influenced her art.... the mostly autumnal palette complements the text as it teaches ... tawny colors work equally well to conjure the Great Depression.... An excellent beginner's resource for biography, U.S. history, and women's studies." &mdash; Kirkus Reviews "This biography of celebrated photographer Dorothea Lange (best known for the iconic Migrant Mother) has a clear, consistent message... Lange's photographs are unique because they depict 'people the world ignores' with both truth and love, allowing viewers to see the world with their eyes and hearts...DuBois employs a muted palette, and the striking illustrations have a faded look that complements the setting and mood....A solid introduction to one of America's most celebrated photographers." &mdash;School Library Journal"Rosenstock lyrically describes photographer Dorothea Lange's creative development from a polio-stricken child from Hoboken to the photographer behind some of the nation's most iconic images." &mdash;Publishers Weekly"An oversize portrait of those titular grey-green eyes introduce Dorothea's special talent at seeing details in objects and faces that others might miss....Softly outlined pastel images create spacious and simple vivid pictures..." &mdash;Booklist
