Sommario/riassunto |
|
Seymour Goldfarb is afraid of a lot of things, and he hides his fears from the world with quick thinking. When his cousin Pessach comes to visit from Israel, however, Seymour meets his match while trying to show a 'normal' guy how Americans have fun."Have you ever been really afraid of something? So that your hands were sweating and you got this terrible feeling in the pit of your stomach? Well that's how it is for Seymour. This is one of those books everyone wants to read...couldn't be better."--The Booktalker |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Unsettled times can arise from a variety of causes, including environmental (e.g., earthquake), climatic (e.g., floods), economic (e.g., recession), social (e.g., illness), or political (e.g., civil unrest). They can result in citizens' loss of homes/possessions, jobs, health, or mobility. Citizens move from above the level of consumption adequacy, where their behaviors reflect long-term and higher-order needs, to below the level of consumption adequacy, where they are forced into a short-term focus on simple existence. In parallel, (service) organizations--utilities, transport, medical, cleaning, housing, education, broadcasting, national and local government-- may become ineffective or unavailable: in other words, beyond the means of a significant |

|
proportion of citizens. This book explores the effect of unsettled times on spatial service systems. It provides original insights for managers of service organizations (especially public services), policy makers, and service system researchers and students. |
