"Press '1' to listen to five more phone menus. If this is an emergency, please stay on the line forever for the next available operator?. If you hate phone menus, you're not alone. When big companies saw data proving that up to 70 percent of callers press '0' to reach a live operator, they did exactly what you'd expect. Instead of getting live operators to answer the phones, they disabled the 'zero out' function.From gouging gas prices to free checking accounts that charge for checkbooks and offer pointless point programs (50 percent of points are never redeemed), big businesses in America are disconnected. Most no longer offer the best products and services. America's Corporate Brain Drain reveals that the swell of me-too products and lousy service is because the best people no longer work in Goliath companies. We're moving forward with Toyota and connecting with Nokia because the brightest sparks in the U.S. have left big corporations or are planning exit strategies. The 27 million small-business owners didn't get the boot 89 percent of entrepreneurs quit their former positions. Boomers are negotiating for early retirement to start hobby jobs. Grads aren't willing to climb towering corporate ladders. Of the employees still stuck in big companies, 70 percent are unhappy with their jobs.In Corporate Brain Drain, corporate deserters, employees, and consumers who are fed up with behemoth banks and big old phone companies will find the real reasons why big business stopped working. And they'll discover how Americans, who are increasingly unwilling to put up with inferior products and the corporate culture that creates them, are regaining control.

Certain details surrounding the death of Albert Einstein are so outlandish as to sound like urban legend: namely, the theft of his brain by Thomas Stoltz Harvey, the pathologist who performed the eminent physicist's autopsy. From these historical events, Pierre-Henry Gomont concocts a picaresque road trip of a tale by turns farcical and moving, whimsical and melancholy, sweeping up in its narrative whirlwind the FBI, a sanatorium, neurobiology, hallucinogens, hospital bureaucracy, and romance. In his dissection of friendship and the forging of scientific reputation, the nimble cartoonist serves up a slice of lovingly rendered Americana for the ages.

People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.

Two sociologists reveal how small towns in Middle America are exporting their most precious resource—young people—and share what can be done to save these dwindling communities In 2001, with funding from the MacArthur Foundation, sociologists Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas moved to Iowa to understand the rural brain drain and the exodus of young people from America’s countryside. They met and followed working-class “stayers”; ambitious and college-bound “achievers”; “seekers,” who head off to war to see what the world beyond offers; and “returners,” who eventually circle back to their hometowns. What surprised them most was that adults in the community were playing a pivotal part in the town’s decline by pushing the best and brightest young people to leave. In a timely, new afterword, Carr and Kefalas address the question “so what can be done to save our communities?” They profile the efforts of dedicated community leaders actively resisting the hollowing out of Middle America. These individuals have creatively engaged small town youth—stayers and returners, seekers and achievers—and have implemented a variety of programs to combat the rural brain drain. These stories of civic engagement will certainly inspire and encourage readers struggling to defend their communities.

In a Galaxy not very far away, there once existed a planet which the local inhabitants used as a giant trash bin for decades, even though they had every reason to believe they were destroying not only their planet, but their own species right along with it. The intelligent life forms on this planet were smart enough to know what they were doing and even knew how to change their path leading them over the cliff. But, they were so busy inside their own heads, they didn't heed the warnings that they continually saw happening around them. Then, one day, one of their kind allowed his brain to be extracted from his skull and placed inside a 'Think Tank' so that they could see what Consciousness was really about and perhaps even find solutions above and beyond their own capabilities. The experiment continued until it worked beyond anyone's wildest dreams and the beings of planet Earth were saved.This is the story of the brain that will be extracted from someone's skull sometime in the very near future. The connections that real life events will have to this story will become the basis of proof for all of the laws of physics that are as of today, unproven. The Science contained herein will also be proven by the predictions that will come true in the future from out of the theories contained herein.This is a Science Fiction story that is not for the faint of heart nor for the faint of mind. The reader should have at least a High School education and preferably a college degree and an interest in delving into the deepest recesses of the mind and how they are connected to the Cosmos all around us. This story's importance will arise in the degree to which it will become accepted as a classic must read for anyone who loves the planet that gave them life. If the reader is looking for a Science Fiction thriller where giant reptile monsters spew huge fireball breaths at their opponents, cars that transform themselves into big gadgets of mass destruction, this is not for you. If you are looking for stories about people who can fly around the planet because they have a cape or a high-tech suit that can shoot out bolts of energy to kill off any other type of super-hero, this book is not for you. If on the other hand, you are looking for a book that can save the planet very much like ours and in a galaxy very much like our own, because it will teach you a thing or two about the power of the human mind, this book may be for you.
