What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better--and smarter--solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

E se la chiave per una carriera più soddisfacente e appagante non fosse fondare un’impresa con lo scopo di farla crescere a dismisura, bensì lavorare per se stessi, decidere i propri orari lavorativi e realizzare un business a misura d’uomo, più sostenibile (e altamente redditizio)? E se la soluzione migliore - e più scaltra - fosse quella di restare piccoli? Questo libro spiega esattamente come riuscirci. Il minimalismo nel business è un approccio nuovo e stimolante, basato sull’idea di rimanere piccoli e mettere in discussione la crescita a tutti i livelli imprenditoriali. Non come libero professionista, pagato a progetto, né come startup che ha in previsione di espandersi il più in fretta possibile, bensì come piccola azienda che si impegna deliberatamente a fare di meglio anziché di più. L’autore spiega come restare piccoli possa assicurare la libertà di dedicarsi a ciò che davvero conta nella vita, evitando i mal di testa causati dallo stress inevitabilmente associato alla ricerca di una crescita senza fine. Questo libro introduce il rivoluzionario approccio minimalista al lavoro e spiega come farlo funzionare in maniera efficace, in modo da generare un reddito duraturo nel tempo. Paul Jarvis abbandonò il convenzionale mondo degli affari quando si rese conto che dedicare il proprio tempo a un lavoro stressante in una grande azienda di prestigio non corrispondeva alla sua idea di successo. Oggigiorno, al contrario, lavora autonomamente in un ambiente molto più gratificante e produttivo. Ha scoperto l’incommensurabile vantaggio di abbandonare l’obsoleta mentalità aziendale, che richiede incessantemente più produttività, più risultati e una crescita ossessiva.

Eliminare il lavoro superfluo per dedicarsi a ciò che conta davvero. E ottenere più felicità, libertà e profitti.

This publication presents an overview of the current interests in tree physiology research within the European tree physiology EUROSILVA network, which has been going on since 1986. The last phase, entitled COST Action E 6: EUROSILVA Forest Tree Physiology Research, was accomplished during the period from 1996 to 2000. The scientific discussions in the three working groups (I: Tree growth and development, II: Tree nutrition and water relations, III: Biotic and abiotic interactions in trees) have touched on a diverse collection of topics. The articles in this book have been written by well-known European and American scientists and focus on basic tree physiology and trees and their environments. The book will provide to the reader information of the EUROSILVA network's activities and recent findings. Some important future aspects are also discussed.

The Carbon Balance of Forest Biomes provides an informed synthesis on the current status of forests and their future potential for carbon sequestration. This volume is timely, since convincing models which scale from local to regional carbon fluxes are needed to support these international agreements, whilst criticisms have been levelled at existing empirical approaches. One key question is to determine how well eddy-flux measurements at the stand-level represent regional-scale processes. This may be related to specific management practices (age, plantation, fertilisation) or simple bias in choosing representative sites (ease of access, roughness, proximity to physical barriers). The ecology and regeneration state of temperate, tropical and boreal forests under current climatic conditions are discussed, together with partitioning of photosynthetic and respiratory fluxes from soils and vegetation. The volume considers how to integrate contrasting methodologies, and the latest approaches for scaling from stand to the planetary boundary layer.

Airlines are competitive and complex businesses and great airlines don’t just happen. In British Airways’ case it has been a long journey – in fact, it has been many millions of journeys of customer expectations, experiences and emotions, connected by tradition, innovation and service. From advertising to airports, from first impressions to final destination, every detail informs and shapes the customer experience and shapes those journeys.Using an incredible wealth of material from the British Airways archive, curator Paul Jarvis takes us through the decades from the 1940s to the present, exploring the evolution of advertising, interiors, on-board experience and crew uniform fashions, and how these have come together to shape not only the internationally renowned British Airways brand but the way we view commercial aviation.
