This beautiful book traces the development of bird carving, a distinctly American art form, from the mid-1800s to the present. Displayed in stunning color photos are some of the very best examples of bird carving produced in both the United States and Canada. This volume focuses on the two generations of bird artists, working from the last quarter of the twentieth century to today. They include James Foote, John Scheeler, Ernest Muehlmatt, Jimmie Vizier, Larry Hayden, the Brunets, Larry Barth, Gary Yoder, and Todd Wohlt, among others. It also details the influence of the two previous generations of decoy makers and artists on the current carvers. The text provides a fascinating history of bird carving and details of the lives and work of each carver included. A bibliography is also provided. The bird carvings presented provide readers and students of the art form with some of the finest examples of contemporary bird carvings.

What is Web 2.0?Industry StructureApplication to Music Future Service ConceptsAPIsValue Chain Impact Apart from a few notable innovations such as paid-for and ad-supported music subscription services, the consumer's conception of recorded music has not changed a great deal following the arrival of digital music.For example, consumers have been conditioned for years to think in terms of purchasing and owning records such as CDs. Hardly surprisingly, most consumers now want the same with digital: they just want to own the equivalent digital files. From this standpoint, the future of digital music looks pretty simple.Meanwhile, in parallel with the emergence of digital music, progress in the wider internet has been accelerating and an entirely new service category has emerged that provides an unprecedented range of opportunities for established companies, entrepreneurs and ordinary consumers - including those in the music industry.Rather like how the arrival of web tools such as WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors allowed non-programmers to create websites, we are now seeing the emergence of API-based toolsets that allow a range of different services to be ‘knitted together’ into an overall, customised offering. Critically, these opportunities are now available to corporations like IBM as well as 16 year-old school kids.This report looks at the possible implications for the music industry. The report first outlines what Web 2.0 is and then describes a range of possible commercial and consumer applications that could benefit all players in the value chain as well as the music industry as a whole.

The 2009-2014 Outlook for 215 to 235-Pound Inorganic-Base Asphalt Strip Shingles Excluding Laminated Shingles in Japan
The 2009-2014 Outlook for 215 to 235-Pound Inorganic-Base Asphalt Strip Shingles Excluding Laminated Shingles in Japan
This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for 215 to 235-pound inorganic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for 215 to 235-pound inorganic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the cities in Japan). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E., for 215 to 235-pound inorganic-base asphalt strip shingles excluding laminated shingles in Japan. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided and concentrated across the cities and regional markets of Japan. For each prefecture, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time. In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Based on the work of Carl Jung, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the psychological profile employed by thousands of professionals worldwide. Now, three Myers-Briggs experts show how individuals can use this revealing profile them to recognize their own work style, enabling them to overcome the obstacles of day-to-day tasks and successfully adjust to the constant changes in the work world.
A study not of the institution of the Church but of Christianity itself, this book explores the Christian people, their beliefs, and their way of life, providing a new understanding of Western Christianity at the time of the Reformation.Bossy begins with a systematic exposition of traditional or pre-Reformation Christianity, exploring the forces that tended to undermine it, the characteristics of the Protestant and Catholic regimes that superseded it, and the fall-out that resulted from its disintegration.
