Excerpt: ... committee of directors the president of which is the president of the Chambre de Commerce. The measure and quality of the information furnished merchants are carefully defined in the statutes of the organization; and, in order to obtain this information itself, the Office has invoked, under the name of co/n.'cz'//c/'s du rmmmrrc cxtcents'rzz'cu/', the concurrence of notable merchants and manufacturers who are best qualified by their experience, their special aptitudes or studies, or the importance of their foreign or domestic dealings, to keep it fully informed on all matters in its jurisdiction. It has been suggested, however, that these individuals might not be altogether disposed to furnish, for the benefit of a possible rival, all the secrets of their trade, and that the Office would probably do better to appeal to the different chambers of commerce, syndical associations, chambers of arts and manufactures, and members of the consular and diplomaticicorps. Of this foreign commerce, so assiduously cultivated, some practical expression of the activity may be seen on the Port Saint.'icholas, by the Louvre, on each side of the Pont des Saints-Peres.

Download or read book The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building written by Mizan R Khan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building pioneers a new era of climate change governance, performing the foundational job of clarifying what is meant by the often ad-hoc, one-off, uncoordinated, ineffective and unsustainable practices of the past decade described as 'capacity building' to address climate change. As an alternative, this book presents a framework on how to build effective and sustainable capacity systems to meaningfully tackle this long-term problem. Such a reframing of capacity building itself requires means of implementation. The authors combine their decades-long experiences in climate negotiations, developing climate solutions, climate activism and peer-reviewed research to chart a realistic roadmap for the implementation of this alternative framework for capacity building. As a result, this book convincingly makes the case that universities, as the highest and sustainable seats of learning and research in the developing countries, should be the central hub of capacity building there. This will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers in the areas of climate change and environmental studies.

This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller "Sciolino’s sharply observed account serves as a testament to…Paris—the city of light, of literature, of life itself." —The New Yorker Elaine Sciolino, the former Paris Bureau Chief of the New York Times, invites us on a tour of her favorite Parisian street, offering an homage to street life and the pleasures of Parisian living. "I can never be sad on the rue des Martyrs," Sciolino explains, as she celebrates the neighborhood’s rich history and vibrant lives. While many cities suffer from the leveling effects of globalization, the rue des Martyrs maintains its distinct allure. On this street, the patron saint of France was beheaded and the Jesuits took their first vows. It was here that Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted circus acrobats, Emile Zola situated a lesbian dinner club in his novel Nana, and François Truffaut filmed scenes from The 400 Blows. Sciolino reveals the charms and idiosyncrasies of this street and its longtime residents—the Tunisian greengrocer, the husband-and-wife cheesemongers, the showman who’s been running a transvestite cabaret for more than half a century, the owner of a 100-year-old bookstore, the woman who repairs eighteenth-century mercury barometers—bringing Paris alive in all of its unique majesty. The Only Street in Paris will make readers hungry for Paris, for cheese and wine, and for the kind of street life that is all too quickly disappearing.
