SOME PRACTICAL CONCLUSIONS; INDEX 330 $aSummarizing the facts about the prevailing sizes of industrial firms or plants and the patterns of industrial location in Britain and America, this book also interprets the facts in basic terms such as technical requirements and consumer habits.

Examining investment and human resource management, the contrasts and (unexpected) similarities in the industrial structure and government of the two countries are analysed.
The book includes new research into the real seat of power in the British joint stock company and compares the results with the realities of the American corporation. 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pEconomics ;$vVI. 606 $aIndustries$zGreat Britain 606 $aIndustries$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial management 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustrial management. 676 $a338/.0942 700 $aFlorence$b P.

It summarizes current research in four interconnected areas: large-scale peatland dynamics and carbon cycling; plant and microbial dynamics and their effect on carbon fluxes to the atmosphere; methane accumulation in, and loss from, peatlands; and water and dissolved carbon fluxes through peatlands.
