Download or read book Under Pressure written by Lindsay A, Bell and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Canada became the third largest producer of diamonds in the world. Primarily mined on the edge of the Arctic, these diamonds are said to bring economic development and opportunity to nearby Indigenous communities. In Under Pressure, anthropologist Lindsay A. Bell examines the effects of diamond mining on an increasingly diverse northern population. Through an ethnographic focus on everyday life in Hay River, a multi-ethnic town in the Northwest Territories, this book illustrates the different ways Indigenous, settler, and immigrant northerners navigate the opportunities and obstacles created by large-scale resource development. By situating contemporary diamond mines within the long history of extraction in the region, Bell describes the social, cultural, and economic pressures that shape the people in this Northern community. In contrast to many polarizing accounts that deem mining as either good or bad, Under Pressure uses diamonds as an anthropological prism to consider larger issues related to Arctic extraction, globalization, Indigenous rights, and ethical consumption.
Download or read book Under Pressure written by Sara Driscoll and published by Kensington Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FBI handler Meg Jennings and her K-9 partner, Hawk, are drawn into a case that involves a fortune in uncut gems, and an enemy whose power and ruthlessness know no bounds . . . Diamonds are no one’s best friend when the jewels in question are smuggled conflict gems. Meg Jennings and her Labrador, Hawk, have undertaken many search-and-rescue missions, but this case has an unusual twist. A Philadelphia syndicate is importing diamonds from war-torn African nations and selling them with fake certificates to Stateside dealers. Agent Finn Pierce of the Organized Crime Program is embedded with the syndicate, but being caught with a wire or tracking device would mean instant execution. If Meg, her partner Brian Foster, and their dogs can track Pierce to a deal location, they can break the smuggling chain while maintaining Pierce’s cover. With the syndicate monitoring every move, it’s a risky operation with more players than Meg and Brian first assumed—on both sides of the law. And when one of their own gets caught in the line of fire, the team embarks on a desperate rescue mission, knowing that mere seconds are all that separate life and death . . .

It's a guide for driving sales and deepening client relationships. Based on the Diamond Rule, over 150 case studies, and the science-backed framework of Market Force, the book provides perspective and tools for winning in sales and client management. The book consists of three main sections: Section I outlines the Why. Here we explore our metaphor of the Diamond Goldfish. We'll share the reasoning behind the diamond as a metaphor and the symbolism of the goldfish. The section will also explore our human biology, examine the impact of pressure, and uncover the four behavioral styles (Control, Influence, Power, and Authority). Section II explains the What. Here we share the process of leveraging the Diamond Rule. We'll uncover how to M.I.N.E. for diamonds with the four-step process of Mindset, Identify, Neutralize, and Empathize. Section III showcases the How. We explore each stage of the sales process using Market Force principles. First, we'll examine the Big Picture. Then we'll look in turn at setting the foundation, hosting the first meeting, and working the sale. We reveal how to acknowledge success and set-up for the next go-around. We'll finish the section by discussing the Diamond Rule Matrix, a quick reference guide to assess how your behavioral style works best with each of the four styles. Praise for Diamond Goldfish "In a clever, practical, tactical, and biological (yes, biological) framework, Diamond Goldfish will help you to recognize four different types of stakeholders you meet with when you are selling. You'll also discover their primary response to pressure, as well as how to best to resolve their concerns." - ANTHONY IANNARINO, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE ONLY SALES GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED, EAT THEIR LUNCH, AND THE LOST ART OF CLOSING "If put into practice on a wide scale, this brilliant Diamond Rule concept has the potential to revolutionize how business relationships work, producing improved results for everyone involved, both emotionally and financially." - STEVE SIPRESS, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF CEO SCOTTSDALE AND SUCCESSFUL SELLING SYSTEMS, INC Ready to upgrade your humanware and achieve prosperity in business?

Download or read book The Diamond Makers written by Robert M. Hazen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-07-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have treasured diamonds for their exquisite beauty and unrivaled hardness for thousands of years. Deep within the earth, diamonds grow. Diamonds the size of footballs, the size of watermelons - billions of tons of diamonds wait for eternity a hundred miles beyond our reach. Spanning centuries of ground-breaking science, bitter rivalry, outright fraud, and self-delusion, The Diamond Makers is a compelling narrative centered around the brilliant, often eccentric, and controversial pioneers of high pressure research. This vivid blend of dramatic personal stories and extraordinary scientific advances - and devastating failures - brings alive the quest to create diamond. Scientists have harnessed crushing pressures and scorching temperatures to transform almost any carbon-rich material, from road tar to peanut butter, into the most prized of gems. The book reveals the human dimensions of research - the competition, bravery, jealousy, teamwork, and greed that ultimately led to today's billion-dollar diamond synthesis industry.

Download or read book Diamond Inclusions written by A.I.D.C. Inc and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted entirely to diamond inclusions in all its known natural characteristics. The first half of the book defines external and internal inclusions, describing each variety with numerous full color examples. What makes this work outstanding is the section in which inclusions are tracked from the rough to the cut and how the integrity of the diamond can be compromised by depth and position of the remaining inclusions. Additionally, an entire section is devoted to the diamond manufacturing process and its relationship to inclusions. In this area inclusions are examined with regards to heat, pressure, rotation, and other mechanical influences. Inclusions trapped in diamonds are full of information that in many cases is still to be scientifically interpreted. This book take us into the fascinating would of micro-inclusions giving us fresh insight in one of natureżs most sought after gems.
