Spirit Bear: The Simon Jackson Story (Full Frame)
Simon Jackson is an awkward 15-year-old who lives on a planet light years away from the "in" crowd - until a life changing moment. Attacked in the British Colombia wilderness, Simon is rescued by a rare white Kermode bear. When he learns these magnificent creatures are endangered, that only 400 are in existence in a small area of northern BC, Simon turns from shy, stuttering daydreamer to political activist. Mustering his courage, he takes on the powerful forest industry and the provincial government, eventually rallying everyone from prince William to the Backstreet Boys. Simon ultimately secures the protection of 2500 square miles of Princess Royal Island - one of the largest land protection battles ever won - and is named one of "'Time Magazine's Heroes For The Planet."
Simon's victory resulted in the largest land protection measure in North American history. The "Spirit Bear Youth Coalition" is the world's largest environmental network of young people with over five million members in 60 countries. With every successive government, Simon and the Youth Coalition continue to work toward protecting the bear's last intact habitat.

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network
Carriers and service providers have united around the concept of the Next-Generation Network (NGN). Although leveraging a broad basket of Internet technologies, the NGN is not being planned as the next-generation Internet. In its intention and architecture, it is more accurately described as Broadband-ISDN release 2.0. The NGN is hard to understand because it weaves together so many distinct issues: technology, new kinds of product, a new kind of carrier organization as well as changes in the business model, industry value chain and the shape of a converged future industry itself. This book presents a unified analysis of the complex transformation process that is taking place in the fixed telecoms, mobile telecoms, and broadcast industries and outlines strategies for success.

The Management of Convergence Telecomunications in the New Environment by James P. Heatherly, ISBN 1558606769
Convergent services are just beginning to become available (some examples of services are: Internet services delivered to TV sets via systems like Web TV, e-mail and World Wide Web access via digital TV decoders and mobile telephones; webcasting of radio and TV programming on the Internet; using the Internet for voice telephony, etc.) and are projected to really take off soon. There are currently no books out on telecom management that have this focus on convergence -- and books currently available are horribly dated.
Telecommunications, media and IT companies are using the flexibility of technologies to offer services outside their traditional business sectors, increasingly on an international or global scale. The goal of Heatherly's book is to provide coverage of the fundamentals of telecommunications and discuss how to manage these converged systems, giving managers a how-to manual for many of the day-to-day responsibilities they will encounter. The book will provide detailed discussions...
