Book excerpt: Twelve-year-old Ryan Edwards wants desperately to win his club's go-kart championship, and work his way up to win the Indianapolis 500 someday so he can earn his own "Baby Borg" Trophy - but apparently, someone has other ideas for him! Who is deliberately messing with his go-kart? Also why? and how? -- when it's carefully locked up every time? Ryan feels that it's nasty, mean Kyle Sampson, who is fastest on the track, and always puts Ryan down... With his father's great help, Ryan races hard, with exciting karting action, but each new mystery leads to another - the go-kart tampering, the mysterious go-kart champion Joe Yoshida -- and more. New questions lurk around each and every corner... Ryan's dog, Sparkplug, suspects trouble from the very beginning, and later discovers a vital clue. And what would Ryan do without his neighbor, Maria, who often jumps in to help? With the unique "snooping" skills of his nine-year-old neighbor, Timmy, who wants to be a de-tek-tiv someday, all the mysteries are finally solved. From the first chapter, Chasing The Checkered Flag - an intense blend of high-speed racing facts and fiction - will keep each reader reading, and guessing, until the very end.

Download or read book Global Taiwan written by Suzanne Berger and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Taiwan examines the impact of globalization on the industry and economy of Taiwan since the spectacular growth of the 1990s. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with firms in Taiwan, China, the United States, Japan, Europe, and other areas, the book analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Taiwanese firms at a time when they face new competition from powerful global leaders and new producers in China. The contributors cover topics of enormous importance for Taiwan as well as the rest of the world, including transformations in the international economy, technological advances that enabled modularization and fragmentation of the production system, contract manufacturers, regionalization, and links with Chinese industry. The book addresses such questions as: Can Taiwanese companies be maintained and expanded with the same corporate strategies and public policies as in the past? Can these strategies still work for other countries? If changes are required, what resources can be mobilized in the public and private sectors? As massive relocation of manufacturing and services moves plants and jobs to low-wage countries like China and India, what will remain at home in societies like Taiwan?
