Book Synopsis Shopping with a Conscience by : Rajani Achar
Download or read book Shopping with a Conscience written by Rajani Achar and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shopping with a conscience is a ground-breaking book (John Wiley & Sons, forthcoming May 1996) that focuses on the corporate social responsibility of major retailers and suppliers of goods and services in the Canadian marketplace. This includes 115 of Canada's largest grocery retailers, banks and trust companies, gas stations, drugstore chains, fast food chains, car rental companies, hotels and entertainment venues, and specialty retailers of hardware, sporting goods, travel and business services, office supplies and the like. Retailers are chosen for inclusion in the book with a national scope in mind: the goal is a guide of interest to shoppers, small businesspeople, and procurement professionals from coast to coast. The text will focus on reporting and analyzing comparative performance on a range of ethicalissues of most interest to Canadians. Such issues include environmental management and performance, hiring and promotion of women and minorities, job creation, and progressive community relations, as well as the percentage of Canadian ownership and decision-making of each company profiled. The tone of Shopping With a Conscience is not political correctness. Readers will not be told how to think. Rather, they'll be given the kind of data to allow them to reward the good: to make their own decisions about where to bank, shop, and rent. The approach is to provide detailed, original and useful information to make book purchasers feel good about themselves, their shopping behaviour, and the consequences of their choiceof retailer.
Download or read book Ethical Chic written by Fran Hawthorne and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How popular companies like Apple and Trader Joe’s project a hip, progressive image—and whether we should believe them Consumers are told that when they put on an American Apparel t-shirt, leggings, jeans, gold bra, or other item, they look hot. Not only do they look good, but they can also feel good because they are helping US workers earn a decent wage (never mind that some of those female workers have accused their boss of sexual harassment). And when shoppers put on a pair of Timberlands, they feel fashionable and as green as the pine forest they might trek through—that is, until they’re reminded that this green company is in the business of killing cows. But surely even the pickiest, most organic, most politically correct buyers can feel virtuous about purchasing a tube of Tom’s toothpaste, right? After all, with its natural ingredients that have never been tested on animals, this company has a forty-year history of being run by a nice couple from Maine . . . well, ahem, until it was recently bought out by Colgate. It’s difficult to define what makes a company hip and also ethical, but some companies seem to have hit that magic bull’s-eye. In this age of consumer activism, pinpoint marketing, and immediate information, consumers demand everything from the coffee, computer, or toothpaste they buy. They want an affordable, reliable product manufactured by a company that doesn’t pollute, saves energy, treats its workers well, and doesn't hurt animals—oh, and that makes them feel cool when they use it. Companies would love to have that kind of reputation, and a handful seem to have achieved it. But do they deserve their haloes? Can a company make a profit doing so? And how can consumers avoid being tricked by phony marketing? In Ethical Chic, award-winning author Fran Hawthorne uses her business-investigative skills to analyze six favorites: Apple, Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, American Apparel, Timberland, and Tom’s of Maine. She attends a Macworld conference and walks on the factory floors of American Apparel. She visits the wooded headquarters of Timberland, speaks to consumers who drive thirty miles to get their pretzels and plantains from Trader Joe’s, and confronts the founders of Tom’s of Maine. More than a how-to guide for daily dilemmas and ethical business practices, Ethical Chic is a blinders-off and nuanced look at the mixed bag of values on sale at companies that project a seemingly progressive image.

Book excerpt: In this fascinating collection of writings that introduce the very latest theories and discoveries in science, editor Max Brockman presents the work of some of today’s brightest and most innovative young researchers. Future Science features eighteen young scientists, most of whom are presenting their work and ideas to a general audience for the first time. Included in this collection are * William McEwan, a virologist, discussing his research into the biology of antiviral immunity * Naomi Eisenberger, a neuroscientist, wondering how social rejection affects us physically * Jon Kleinberg, a computer scientist, showing what massive datasets can teach us about society and ourselves * Anthony Aguirre, a physicist, who gives readers a tantalizing glimpse of infinity “Future Science shares with the world a delightful secret that we academics have been keeping—that despite all the hysteria about how electronic media are dumbing down the next generation, a tidal wave of talent has been flooding into science, making their elders feel like the dumb ones. . . . It has a wealth of new and exciting ideas, and will help shake up our notions regarding the age, sex, color, and topic clichés of the current public perception of science.” —Steven Pinker, author of The Stuff of Thought

This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 1984 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics is the nexus and engine that runs society, affecting societal well-being, raising standards of living when economies prosper or lowering citizens through class structures when economies perform poorly.

Although there are encyclopedias of covering economics (especially classic economic theory and history), the SAGE Encyclopedia of Economics and Society emphasizes the contemporary world, contemporary issues, and society. Features: 4 volumes with approximately 800 signed articles ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 words each are presented in a choice of print or electronic editions Organized A-to-Z with a thematic Reader's Guide in the front matter groups related entries Articles conclude with References & Future Readings to guide students to the next step on their research journeys Cross-references between and among articles combine with a thorough Index and the Reader's Guide to enhance search-and-browse in the electronic version Pedagogical elements include a Chronology of Economics and Society, Resource Guide, and Glossary This academic, multi-author reference work will serve as a general, non-technical resource for students and researchers within social science programs who seek to better understand economics through a contemporary lens.
