Book Description
Mi primer encuentro con el mundo de los negocios, fue cuando tenía 17 años de edad, estaba buscando maneras de ganar algún dinero para salir con mis amigos o ponerle gasolina a mi auto, bueno, al auto que mi Papá dejó en casa después de divorciarse de mi madre.Esta primera motivación me llevó a buscar alternativas de ingresos, yo estaba seguro de que no iba a conseguir un empleo porque no había completado el colegio aún y no tenía experiencia en practicamente NADA. Pero siempre me consideré emprendedor, desde la época en que tenía ganas de ir a la playa y mis padres no me daban dinero. Era divertido jugar a ser emprendedores, y al final conseguíamos reunir el dinero exacto para poder ir de aventón o en un bus cayéndose a pedazos a alguna playa cerca de mi ciudad. Un domingo encontré un anuncio sobre una empresa americana que estaba llegando a mi país, parecía una propuesta atractiva, no especificaba bien de qué se trataba pero yo asistí a la presentación por curiosidad.La persona que hizo aquella presentación, era un médico mexicano. Comenzó a hablar sobre la "capacidad que tiene nuestra mente de conquistar todo aquello que podamos imaginar" eso me dejo intrigado, curioso de saber más sobre ese asunto que en aquella época era tan desconocido para mi, el desarrollo personal. Esa capacidad que todos tenemos de cambiar nuestras vidas, cambiando nuestros pensamientos y nuestras decisiones.Para mi toda esta información era completamente nueva e interesante.Entendí que si alimentaba mi mente con las ideas correctas iba a lograr ubicarme en el 5% de la población que alcanza el éxito y que eso no dependía del gobierno ni de la casualidad sino de un proceso de adquirir información correcta que cambie mi manera de pensar para luego cambiar mis emociones y finalmente influir en mi comportamiento, desarrollar nuevos hábitos y nuevas disciplinas, lo que practicado con constancia y persistencia me iba a cambiar la vida. Y en realidad fue lo que sucedió.Imaginen toda esa información en la cabeza de un muchacho de 18 años, yo sentí que alguien me despertó del MATRIX de una vida común, veía a mis compañeros de colegio debatir sobre cual profesión querían ejercer en el futuro o si iban a continuar sus estudios, pero nadie hablaba de ser emprendedor, de montar un negocio o de crear algo que beneficie la vida de mucha gente, nadie pensaba en crear un mensaje, dejar un legado o influir en las futuras generaciones con conocimientos transformadores.En el transcurso de los siguientes 10 años me convertí en el alumno más dedicado y amigo personal de mi mentor, el Dr. Salazar, y compartí con él muchas experiencias que me enseñaron muchas cosas sobre la vida y los negocios. Después de muchos éxitos basados en estas enseñanzas y luego de haber compartido con éxito estos principios a miles de personas en muchos países, decidí escribirlos para que estén al alcance de todo que quiero quiere transitar el emocionante mundo de los negocios, el desarrollo personal y la prosperidad.

This book reflects on the public policies, programmes and regulatory frameworks that are taking a rights-based approach to expanding social protection coverage and benefits in Latin America, with a view to achieving universal coverage. Its discussion of the policy tools and programmes pursued in the region aims to provide the reader with technical and programmatic insights for assembling and coordinating public policies within consistent and sustainable social protection systems. The combination of normative orientations and stock of technical knowledge, together with advances regarding the rights-based approach to social protection within a life cycle framework, afford the reader not only a tool box of specific social protection instruments, but also an in-depth examination of related political economy aspects.

Book Description
This book addresses two significant research areas in an interdependent fashion. It is first of all a comprehensive but concise text that covers the recently developed and widely applicable methods of qualitative choice analysis, illustrating the general theory through simulation models of automobile demand and use. It is also a detailed study of automobile demand and use, presenting forecasts based on these powerful new techniques. The book develops the general principles that underlie qualitative choice models that are now being applied in numerous fields in addition to transportation, such as housing, labor, energy, communications, and criminology. The general form, derivation, and estimation of qualitative choice models are explained, and the major models - logit, probit, and GEV - are discussed in detail. And continuous/discrete models are introduced. In these, qualitative choice methods and standard regression techniques are combined to analyze situations that neither alone can accurately forecast. Summarizing previous research on auto demand, the book shows how qualitative choice methods can be used by applying them to specific auto-related decisions as the aggregate of individuals' choices. The simulation model that is constructed is a significant improvement over older models, and should prove more useful to agencies and organizations requiring accurate forecasting of auto demand and use for planning and policy development. The book concludes with an actual case study based on a model designed for the investigations of the California Energy Commission. Kenneth Train is Visiting Associate Professor in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of Economic Research at Cambridge Systematics, Inc., also in Berkeley. Qualitative Choice Analysisis included in The MIT Press Transportation Studies Series, edited by Marvin L. Manheim.

Book Description
When the inspiration hits to start an organic garden, many novices could benefit from a guidebook that speaks directly to their enthusiasm, their goals, and, of course, their need for solid information that speaks a newbie's language—from the most trusted source for organic gardening methods. In Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening by Deborah L. Martin, general garden-building skills (from "Do I need to dig?" to "Where do I dig?") and specific techniques (from "How do I plant a seed?" to "How much should I water?") are presented in growing-season order—from garden planning and planting to growing and harvesting. Many other need-to-know topics like soil, compost, seeds, pest control, and weeds are explained in simple language to ensure success, even on a small scale, on the first try. More than 100 common garden terms are defined, and Smart Starts sidebars offer doable projects to build confidence and enthusiasm for expanding a garden when a gardener is ready. A flower, vegetable, and herb finder highlights easycare plants with good track records. Plus, there are no-dig garden methods, simple garden layouts, and many more tips and hints. With a "no question is unwelcome" approach, a troubleshooting section lessens frustrations and encourages experimentation. Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening is everything a beginning gardener (or one who's new to gardening organically) needs to get growing and keep a garden going strong all season.

Book Description
Optimal Regulation addresses the central issue of regulatory economics - how toregulate firms in a way that induces them to produce and price "optimally." It synthesizes the majorfindings of an extensive theoretical literature on what constitutes optimality in various situationsand which regulatory mechanisms can be used to achieve it. It is the first text to provide aunified, modern, and nontechnical treatment of the field.The book includes models for regulatingoptimal output, tariffs, and surplus subsidy schemes, and presents all of the material graphically,with clear explanations of often highly technical topics.Kenneth E. Train is Associate AdjunctProfessor in the Department of Economics and Graduate School of Public Policy at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley. He is also Principal of the firm Cambridge Systematics.Topics include: Thecost structure of natural monopoly (economies of scale and scope). Characterization of firstandsecond-best optimality. Surplus subsidy schemes for attaining first-best optimality. Ramsey pricesand the Vogelsang-Finsinger mechanism for attaining them. Time-ofuse (TOU) prices and Riordan'smechanisms for attaining the optimal TOU prices' Multipart and self-selecting tariffs, and Sibley'smethod for using self-selecting tariffs to achieve optimality. The Averch-Johnson model of howrate-of-return regulation induces inefficiencies. Analysis of regulation based on the firm's returnon Output, costs, or sales. Price-cap regulation. Regulatory treatment of uncertainty and its impacton the firm's behavior. Methods of attaining optimality without direct regulation (contestability,auctioning the monopoly franchise.)
