Book Description
EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU, & DDP. Incoterms are the official rules for the worldwide interpretation of trade terms developed under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France. Incoterms are recognized by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law as the global standard for such interpretation.Incoterms define the responsibilities of buyer and seller for delivery of goods under sales contracts. They are the authoritative text for determining how costs and risks are allocated to the parties. These terms are regularly incorporated into sales contracts worldwide and have become part of the daily language of trade.
Incoterms 2000,the first revision in ten years, contains the official ICC text of the thirteen trading terms. It takes into account the latest developments in commercial practice and modifies some the existing terms bringing them into line for use in the new millennium. Most sales contracts drafted after January 1, 2000, will make reference to this latest revision in the text of their contract.
Incoterms 2000 continues a 60-year tradition of the ICC and provides importers, exporters, lawyers, transporters, insurers and students in the international arena with a modern text reflecting the latest changes in the trading environment. This new edition contains a lively, updated format for ease-of-use and ease-of-reference.
Incoterms 2000 will be the definitive text for all those engaged in international trade and commerce in the 21st century.

The Official Guide.......1999-11-09
For American exporters/importers I would definately recommend reading a supplementary book put out specifically for Americans. Incoterms are partially written with European countries in mind, so there are important considerations for countries with borders and exports laws similar to the USA. The best supplimentary book I've seen so far is "Incoterms for Americans" by Frank Reynolds, the USA representative to the Incoterms 2000 revision meeting. The 2000 version may not be officially out yet. I got it at a seminar.
Pretty good summary for a book written by a committee........1999-10-27

The essential reference for anyone working in the television or video industries, it is a comprehensive guide to the inner workings of the business, examining how television programming is financed, produced, and distributed; how FCC regulations and federal law shape the form and content of broadcast, cable, and satellite television; and how producers, networks, cable companies, and local stations work together to create or acquire programming.This Business of Television includes 50 chapters and three useful appendices: legal documents and forms; concise boilerplate contract forms for the most common business transactions in television; and a list of useful industry contacts and addresses.

Reason # 3: it is incredible that guys of this stature would take the time to compile such an essential and complete perspective of the television business. Goodenough, a seasoned entertainment lawyer, law professor, and a scholar pioneering the study of law and evolutionary biology, brings the structure and rigor, while Blumenthal, a prolific TV, multimedia, and online entertainment producer and businessman brings the been-there-done-that street savvy.
Reason # 2: it is, after all, the business that pays for the content (the subscriber, pay-per-view, advertising, syndication, and the latest, e-commerce revenue models) and the content that drives the migration to new technology (streaming media webcasting and video-on-demand, interactive TV, and wireless). The clear understanding of the financial systems supporting television and video entertainment offered by Oliver and Howard in this book facilitates the modeling of future monetary transactions.
Reason # 1: video programming spread from broadcast to cable and then to satellite in one generation. The last decade found it spreading to the PC via CD-ROM, DVD, and broadband Internet. In the future it will be found on our cell phones, wristwatches, car seat backs, and refrigerators. There will be innovations in business arrangements along the way, but those who cannot converse in the language of economics will be doomed.

This segues into a jacket quote by Morty Morton, former producer of the Late Show with David Letterman, who remarked, "This Business of Television has gotten me through years of moderate success in the TV business. I'm now ready to burn the damn thing and open a restaurant."

Book Description
Many men and women who take appointed leadership jobs in a new administration have managed enterprises of one kind or another in their earlier careers. But most have not done so in the federal government.
Recognizing the importance of identifying executive branch candidates with relevant experience and credentials, the Council for Excellence in Government launched the Prune Book series in 1988. Written primarily for incoming presidential appointees and those in the White House, Senate, and media who must identify, appoint, confirm, and report on them, Prune Books address the appointment and transition processes in their various dimensions. Unlike the congressional compendium of positions known informally as the Plum Book, the books in the Prune series have been distinguished by their extensive position profiles and essays that provide first-hand insight from incumbents into the complicated realities of federal management.
The 2000 Prune Book includes detailed position profiles for fifty-six leadership positions. The descriptions, examples, and anecdotes are drawn primarily from interviews with individual job occupants. Each profile appends a biographic sketch of the incumbent and lists those who held the job in previous administrations. These narratives examine the issues that will engage these jobs in the new administration and underline the personal and professional credentials that will best serve each position.
New to this edition is a section on the leadership challenges facing presidential appointees. This chapter looks at elements of leadership competence in the executive branch, including personal qualities such as people skills, accessibility, intellectual independence, objectivity, and commitment.
The incoming cabinet, the White House, and the subcabinet appointees who are the subject of this book must have a sense of history and the imagination to envision the future they will help create. The 2000 Prune Book will be an essential resource for presidential appointees of the newly elected administration, for those who will appoint them, and for the federal departments and agencies they will lead. It will also be of great value to professors and students of political science, as well as citizens concerned with the future of government and democracy.
Customer Reviews:
What's useful is the book's straightforward, clear presentation of fundamental, nuts and bolts information about what agencies actually do, who reports to whom, what are the most difficult issue each faces.
It's a reasonably good reference work for the journalist or apparatchik-watcher.
What's useful is the book's straightforward, clear presentation of fundamental, nuts and bolts information about what agencies actually do, who reports to whom, what are the most difficult issue each faces.
It's a reasonably good reference work for the journalist or apparatchik-watcher.
But the book is not an encyclopedia of every agency boss job in Washington. It examines only sixty Executive Schedule jobs out of a total of 1,100 Presidential appointments.
The book is a handy resource for the journalist or agency-watcher. It's valuable for its clear-sighted, undogmatic observations on White House staff and their relation to the cabinet, as well as the well-organized introductory chapters on each agency. It includes a lot of sound background information like who reports to whom, what the big issues are facing an agency, and how it has handled them recently.
