A hurricane strikes a city; terrorists attack a nation; global warming threatens the environment--such problems are too large for any one authority to solve alone. Our increasingly globalized and interconnected world calls for a new type of tri-sector leadership in which business, government and nonprofits work together in a state of permanent negotiation. To be effective, tomorrow's leaders will need to reach across national and sector divisions to form a collaborative "megacommunity." Based on interviews with over 100 leaders from around the world including Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Kenneth Chenault and Richard Parsons, MEGACOMMUNITIES: How Leaders of Government, Business and Non-Profits Can Tackle Today's Global Challenges Together introduces a radically new framework for reaching solutions to today's thorniest problems. Written by four senior consultants from global consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton, and with a Foreword by Walter Isaacson, this important book explains how a megacommunity approach is: COUNTERING AIDS, ALZHEIMER'S AND GLOBAL PANDEMICS In India, a megacommunity battles HIV/AIDS by bringing together both public, private, and civil-sector organizations, including PepsiCo, the Gates Foundation, U.S. healthcare experts, UN development programs, and local NGOs. CONSERVING THE ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY In saving the world's rainforests, providers, distributors, sellers, and consumers of lumber team up with local communities, the World Wildlife Fund, and Goldman Sachs. HELPING COMMUNITIES GROW In changing neighborhoods like Harlem, the megacommunity includes local small businesses, community groups, global companies, and foundations like Bill Clinton's. "What is required are leaders who know how to identify the vital interests they share with others, who are prepared to seek the benefits from which all can gain," write the authors.

Comfortable
Very comfortable pants and the material feels good . Only complaint I have is the button closure. Will have to sew some more tread to the flimsy button. Perfect fit with just a little bit wriggly room in the waist for me. Price is very good compared to similar products with higher prices.

Great value.
Good, casual khaki. These do have their flaws. They have very average stitching, loose threads will happen. But they are true to size, very comfortable fabric. Priced very reasonable. You put them on and forget um. I will say the top button hole is "tight" on both pairs of mine. Don't let that catch you short heading to the bathroom.

Finally a good fit
As I age, I find my inseam is getting shorter, but my waist seems to be taking up the slack. My physique has changed to where the normal range of sizes don't fit. Finally found a Big and Tall that carried this brand in 46x28.
