From the supplier: Companies are increasingly establishing their presence in the Internet in their bid to attract more business. This allows them to gather, organize and publish information in an inexpensive and effective manner. Given the low cost of launching an online presence, businesses that have not done so should seriously think about it. An option for a company that wants to have an Internet presence is to acquire its own dedicated server that is linked to the network 24 hours a day. An alternative, which is suitable for small companies, is to simply have an external Internet service provider to maintain a corporate presence for the firm at its site. A company also has to choose an outside firm to design its Web site and purchase a software for maintaining Web pages.

From the supplier: One property management company has successfully implemented an effective safety program that keeps its employees from harm and protects the firm from expensive medical costs. The first step involved in the development of such program was raising employees' awareness of safety and its importance. This was achieved by having a state safety inspect speak at an all-employee meeting. The next step involved the formation of a safety committee made up of representatives from different properties and the headquarters. This team created a draft safety program, which was then submitted to the state inspector for review and revision. This committee now meets four times a year to talk about safety performance, to deal with unexpected safety issues and develop a safety incentive program. As a result of this initiative, employees at the company now work in safety.

Book Description

Pension funds are big business. They are important to employers, employees, governments, and society at large. With the increasing concern over dwindling retirement benefits and the effect on public awareness of recent pension fund crises, managing pension plans has never been more critical--and the pressure on those who are responsible for them has only intensified. Destined to become the classic resource on pension plan management, Managing Pension Plans explains everything you need to know for successful management of any pension plan--from how pension plans help sponsors manage their workforces to the latest in investment and risk management. With concise and practical guidance on ways for achieving optimal finance performance, Managing Pensions Plans is an indispensable resource for pension fund trustees, boards of directors, managers, and administrators of both public and private pension plans as well as for the money management firms, consultants, actuaries, and accountants who serve the pension fund industry. Logue and Rader, two of the world's leading experts on the subject, explain all the financial, legal, economic, accounting, and managerial issues that those who make pension fund decisions must juggle--in language that non-financial managers can understand, yet with sufficient depth to be useful to financial managers as well. The authors synthesize the latest in capital market and financial economics research to help those involved in pension management improve their decision-making in all the critical areas, including: choosing the optimal form of pension plan, formulating and implementing the plan's investment strategy, selecting and monitoring pension plan managers, measuring the plan's performance, and managing financial risk. In addition, the book describes in detail the responsibilities of fiduciaries, revealing how to be both a prudent fiduciary and a capable decision maker. Additionally, Managing Pension Plans offers candid advice on how pension managers can improve fund performance by being more effective shareholders. As pension fund management and performance increasingly affect the success of organizations as a whole, this book will be indispensable to anyone--from fund analysts to board members--who influences pension fund decisions.

Defense, Liberty, and the Constitution: Exploring the Critical National Security Issues of Our Time

Putin's Russia (Revised Edition)

ASIN: 0837737001

Book Description

The field of national security law is active and increasingly important as we progress into the 21st century. Whether it be threats from foreign governments, terrorist groups, militias, or individual citizens, it is increasingly important that works such as this one chronicle the cases which have addressed the issues protecting the citizens of the United States, our infrastructure and thus,our democratic society.

Professor Sievert has produced an outstanding book on current issues in national security law which will be of great interest and relevance to legal researchers, as well as advanced pre law and graduate history students and any citizen that loves to read American history. The cases he presents and analyzes, all with an eye to their future impact on U.S. policy, have evolved from some of the most dramatic events in the 20th Century, the Japanese exclusion in 1942, the prosecution of the Rosenbergs and Wen Ho Lee, the publication of the Pentagon papers, the investigation of the World Trade Center bombing, the capture and trial of Manuel Noriega, Oliver North, and Iran Contra, Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing and Congress' attempt to use the courts to stop the wars in Vietnam, Iraq, nd Yugoslavia. These cases are contained in chapters which include key judicial opinions and perceptive notes discussing the law related to Espionage, domestic and foreign Terrorism, media exposure of government secrets, U.S. corporate export of sensitive technology, intelligence surveillance of American citizens, and the critical questions of the President's constitutional power to act domestically and internationally in a crisis. The real events discussed in this book highlight the constant conflicts between the need to protect our national security while attempting to preserve our fundamental constitutional right, which must be continuously resolved to insure the survival of our nation.

Book Description

The materials surrounding each simulation are designed to illuminate all sides of the matter at issue. In this way, students are challenged to do what lawyers actually do in a foreign-relations field, including the planning, preparation, and analysis of alternative strategic options, the conduct of negotiations, legislative drafting, and litigation.

A good source of problems, but a somewhat muddled narrative.......2006-12-20

This is an excellent source of problems if you are an undergraduate electrical engineering student enrolled in a class concerned with electromagnetics, which is probably one of the toughest courses you'll face as an undergraduate. Although the selection of problems is excellent, there is something to be desired with the explanation sections of most chapters. The author makes numerous references in equations to vectors that he fails to identify either verbally, or with a diagram. Also, I thought there were insufficient diagrams to adequately convey the concepts being presented.

I also thought it was odd that the first chapter was dedicated to such an elementary concept as vector analysis when there are much more complex mathematical concepts such as multivariable calculus and partial differential equations being used throughout the book that are not given an explanation. If you are studying electromagnetics, the best textbook out there is "Engineering Electromagnetics" by Nathan Ida. Ida explains absolutely everything about electromagnetics, and the problems in this Schaum's outline complement both the material and the problems in that book very well. The last few chapters in this Schaum's are on antennas and waveguides. It is a nice overview, but it is a somewhat shallow treatment.

A good supplement for that material is a 1968 Schaum's outline that is now out of print - "Schaum's Outline on the Theory and Problems of Transmission Lines" (ISBN 0070107475). It contains complete treatments of impedance and admittance matching topics, Smith chart fundamentals, plus many good worked examples and practice problems. The only drawback of this older outline is that the techniques used don't incorporate more of the modern numerical methods that are now more prevalent.

Too Brief!.......2005-09-23

It appears that the author assumes readers will already have a good understanding of calculus, vectors, and a somewhat advanced knowledge of electrostatics and electromagnetism! Readers without this background will likely struggle with the material!

I have a reasonable background (to tertiary level) in mathematics and electrical engineering, but I still found this book difficult to follow in many parts!

The reviews of theory at the beginning of chapters, are a bit too brief and therefore difficult to understand!

Many solved calculations leave out intermediate steps, which makes it difficult to follow. The calculations should include all steps in their derivation and solutions, so that there would be no misunderstanding on how the solutions are determined.

Therefore, this edition is NOT recommended for most people. This book is apparently only suitable for people who have a thorough knowledge of electrostatics, electromagnetics, calculus, and vectors.

To make this book more practical and attractive to others, the material needs to be rewritten and expanded!

Useful and practical Electronic Book.......2005-08-30

Electromagnetism is a hard subject for many people, including myself. Schaums Outline of Electromagnetics, by Edminister, is an outstanding collection of problems and solutions more even when a companion in Electromagnetics using Mathcad, the leading technical calculation software. The big advantage of the interactive Outline is its use of LiveMath. You can change the starting parameters of a problem and watch as graphs are calculated in front your eyes.

The student will find this is an exciting tool for exploring the universal laws governing electromagnetic waves and for gaining intuition about how various parameters affect the solution to problems.

Finally, I am sure that the educator in physics and engineering will find a comprehensive selection of laboratory and homework exercises in Mathcad, with plenty of room for creativity and expansion.

Great source for worked probs.......2004-04-14

This book does what my class book (Hayt) doesn't--give a plethera of worked problems. I sit in class and watch my prof prove theorems, read Hyat's book that discusses the "why", and had difficulties pulling it all together. I NEEDED EXAMPLE PROBS! Schaum's proved extremely beneficial to me and I will probably not take any more EE courses without it as a supplement. If you need to look at detailed example problems to study and do your homework, this book is a no brainer if you want to pass this difficult topic.

Book Description

Convective heat tranfer is the result of fluid flowing between objects of different temperatures. Thus it may be the objective of a process (as in refrigeration) or it may be an incidental aspect of other processes. This monograph reviews in a concise and unified manner recent contributions to the principles of convective heat transfer for single- and multi-phase systems: It summarizes the role of the fundamental mechanism, discusses the governing differential equations, describes approximation schemes and phenomenological models, and examines their solutions and applications. After a review of the basic physics and thermodynamics, the book divides the subject into three parts. Part 1 deals with single-medium transfer, specifically with intraphase transfers in single-phase flows and with intramedium transfers in two-phase flows. Part 2 deals with fluid-solid transfer processes, both in cases where the interface is small and in cases where it is large, as well as liquid-liquid transfer processes. Part 3 considers three media, addressing both liquid-solid-solid and gas-liquid-solid systems.
