The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Air Purifiers, Filters, and Cleaners [Paperback]

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Air Purifiers, Filters, and Cleaners

This econometric study covers the world outlook for air purifiers, filters, and cleaners across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report ac (more…)

A Tribble's Guide to Space: How to Get to Space and What to Do When You are There

Marketingwise, it was probably irresistible–a book on spaceflight by a guy named Tribble.

Small Spaces: Stylish Ideas for Making More of Less in the Home

Amazon.com Review

Drawing upon the sparse tranquility of Japanese design, architect and Tokyo resident Azby Brown explains how to live comfortably in limited or overcrowded domains. By rethinking our approach to space, utilizing seemingly dead areas (under-floor or under-stairs storage, for example), creating multipurpose or convertible areas, and reconsidering layout, we can make the most of what we have. Some of these homes carry Eastern minimalism to an extreme that clu (more…)
