Georgia is known as one of the most competitive proving grounds in America for high school football. The league that began as a few city teams in the late nineteenth century blossomed to the four hundred-plus schools that put teams on the field today. These teams have given college football and the professional ranks their share of champions. As schools across the state continue to chase--and break--records, a century of winning is only the beginning of Georgia's dynamic high school football legacy. Jon Nelson guides readers through an unparalleled history of coaches, towns and dynasties that have led Georgia to become one of the top five most competitive football states in the country.

Long-recognized as a gem among parks, Quetico contains some of the largest stands of old-growth red and white pine in Canada, as well as a diversity of fascinating lichens, carnivorous plants in specialized habitats. The author presents an insightful look into Quetico's natural history as he examines the adapations that have allowed moose, white-tailed deer, wolves and other mammals to survive. The human history of the park is also explored, beginning with the Objiwa living there when the area was designated as a park, followed by accounts of trappers, loggers, miners, park rangers, and poachers. Beginning with the retreat of the glaciers, the author combines his thorough research into Quetico's long and varied history with the threads of his own extensive involvement with the park. The result is a splendid tribute to a very special place.

What would you do if you were faced with one of the largest challenges of your life? How would your family respond and what would you want your path to be? Irwin County High head football coach Buddy Nobles was faced with a diagnosis and a path that led only one way- to be there with his family, for his family, and for them to face the challenge as one. The challenge led them down a path that would lead to the ultimate victory on the field and the ultimate prize off the field. An entire community and extended family would walk the path together with a family and they would all learn and remember what it takes to be "Nobles Strong."

This title provides a unique approach to the study of television.This overview of television criticism comes appropriately at a moment of change. Television is becoming dramatically different as a result of new and developing technologies such as cable, HDTV, satellite transmission and broadband distributions. By concentrating on the still-dominant notion of television, what the authors call "Classical Network Television," they argue that it is as important to understand this model as it is to understand Classical Hollywood Cinema.The co-authors have a unique approach to the study of television, viewing its history and reception not only through important articles about the medium, but also through analyzing how Hollywood auteur cinema has commented on television over the decades, in films such as "Tootsie", "Network", "The Last Picture Show", "A Face in the Crowd", "Rollerball", "The King of Comedy" and others. Not only does this reflect the pervasive use of cinema theory to discuss television, it also helps to emphasize the importance of clarifying the distinctions between the criticisms of the two media." The Question of Television" argues that the study of television is a crucial aspect of understanding our recent and contemporary culture, and it provides an illuminating point of entry for students and researchers in the field.

Do you sometimes feel that your opinion counts for nothing - Even when it relates to the most important challenges facing the planet and the human race. This book invites you to have your say The framework of Strategic Environmental Assessment is used to examine the global challenges posed by biodiversity loss, climate change, water shortages, poverty, poor health, food insecurity, lack of education, migration, civil rights abuse, racism and ethical conflicts and the impact of new technologies. The SEA then asks the question - What would it take to place the World on a more equitable foundation, without which any efforts to bring about lasting change in the physical environment are unlikely to succeed? Humans face many dilemmas, including a marked division of opinion as to the cause and significance of these events. Optimists are convinced that human ingenuity can resolve all challenges; pessimists are not so sure. In the final chapters, the case is presented for radical reform of the United Nations, the formation of an international peoples' assembly to underpin the role of governments and the voting of effective powers and funds to prevent genocide, eliminate poverty and other injustices and to police climate change and biodiversity policies of member states. The concept of using SEA to give the youth of all nations the chance to plan their own futures is also expounded under the Golden Braid SEAs for 2050 Initiative. It is open to readers to agree, disagree or propose their own solutions. Please help to make a difference -------------------- Peter Jon Nelson lives in Bristol in the United Kingdom. He is an environmental scientist and land use planner and has spent most of the last twenty years working on sustainable development studies and projects in Africa.

Every day companies leave billions of dollars in invisible, unrealized savings on the table because of poor supply chain management practices. Now supply management experts Dave Nelson, Patricia E. Moody, and Jonathan Stegner show not only how leading companies recoup these savings through their mastery of target costing, value engineering, and supplier development, but how supply chain management -- the discipline of acquiring and moving material -- has become a manufacturing company's hottest competitive weapon. Based on a survey of 247 purchasing managers and more than 1,000 hours of interviews and on-site visits, the authors have selected ten top firms whose supply management pioneers excel at twenty "best practices." With cases and stories, Nelson, Moody, and Stegner show how these leading-edge purchasing departments at American Express, SmithKline Beecham, DaimlerChrysler, Harley-Davidson, Honda of America, IBM, John Deere, Whirlpool, Flextronics, and Sun Microsystems have put into place pathbreaking processes and procedures. Here, for example, described in step-by-step detail, are Chrysler's SCORE program and Honda's strategic sourcing strategy that saved the companies billions. The book also includes a crucial section on the next stage of supplier development that will involve the sourcing and allocation of ideas as well as materials. The authors provide concrete, practical steps to improvement that any supply chain manager can take to successfully implement these best practices. The Purchasing Machine will be required reading for logistics, purchasing, and procurement managers in hundreds of thousands of companies. The authoritative nature of the authors' source material is certain to make this the single most important and practical reference on best purchasing practices for years to come.
