Book Description
New costing procedures for a new economic age
Increasing global competition is causing upheaval in every area of industry and commerce. An explosion in the use of advanced technologies is continuing to fundamentally revolutionize the way we go about doing business. These factors are in turn driving dramatic reductions in product life cycles (the average product life cycle is now well under five years) and exerting tremendous pressure on profit margins. The effect has been to substantially change cost structures with their traditional focus on direct labor and arbitrary allocation of overhead. Yet we continue to measure cost in the old way.
Now, here's a book that shows you how to update your accounting procedures in order to effectively accommodate these significant changes. Step by step, Activity Accounting: An Activity-Based Costing Approach describes activity accounting in a clear, concise manner. It emphasizes the strengths and benefits of an activity-based approach to business management and demonstrates how you can apply activity accounting to your organization.
Activity-based accounting is an essential tool for running your business in the 90s. This book is a must-have tool for learning how to master it.

Recommended.......1997-06-17
Without question, if you want to know where all the money's going (especially in companies of 100+) employees, ABC is the tool to use. Mr. Brimson's book is one of several books I have read on the topic and it is also, in my opinion, the best. By investing one or two evenings reading this one book, you will have an opportunity to understand not only what it is (and what it is not) in plain English, but you may also be capable and confident enough to participate in the process as well

Why does the index have to be so lousy for law books?.......2006-02-28
First off, I have found the Gilbert commercial law school outlines to be the best. They also put out the best lectures on tape/CD.
However, the index is nearly as bad as Emanuel's. You can't just look up a subject by a word, such as "minors." For instance, if I can't remember whether or not a minor can be an agent, I can't just go to "M" in the index for "minor." I have to try and figure out which category or chapter the authors would have included that information in, and then hope they actually at least put "minor" in the index under the mystery section.
These guys expect us to remember that the issue regarding a minor is "capacity," then figure out that "capacity" would be under "creating agencies," for example--which of course is a huge pain when you're exhausted with studying law & your brain is too wiped out to have to go through all that just to look up whether or not a minor can become an agent...
That said, when you do finally find the section you're looking for....the outline is written pretty clearly & concisely without giving you all of the previous laws that are no longer relevent, like the Emanuel outlines do, which drives me nuts, too.
Before you begin with this outline, though, I suggest you buy yourself a bunch of tab post-its so you can find info easily again, or jot your own index inside the front cover as you go along. Better yet, keep a running outline/notes document on your computer so you can just do a search of your document to quickly find topics/rules without having to spend 1/2 hour trying to figure out where it was in the Gilbert outline again.
Best Gilberts I Own .......2005-11-07
The is the standard Gilberts outline book. A little thinner than most, but the content is good. If your professor is extremely socratic like mine was, this is the book for you. Even if the cases don't all match, the ideas are framed in easy to understand outline format. I know people who have kept this book and used it for bar review after graduation from law school!

How could Gilbert put something so poor together?.......2002-04-01
Usually, Gilbert's are my legal Bibles. But I must critique this one. Instead of updating the old 1982 text line by line, Conviser just adds the 1995 edits at the back of the book. Now surely, some law professor could have received tenure editing this legal aid. Worse, the old text never has signals which say to now look at the revision. I don't know if it was just my copy or what, but the table of contents was not in order. Usually Gilbert's have a nice outline in the front. This Gilbert's outline was crammed together and illegible. Still, this Gilbert's isn't long and reading it made me realize that agency/partnership is not too difficult.

Book Description
Updated to reflect new legislation, directives, and jurisprudence, this exploration of the relationship between law and society takes on the full range of legal areas—including family law, immigration, and sexual violence—and contains new sections on current issues such as occupational health and safety, welfare law, and laws regarding homosexuals. The contributors’ essays ask questions such as What role has law historically played in generating today’s inequalities? and Is law part of the problem or part of the solution? with the aim of generating discussion and enhancing understanding of law’s social basis.
Book Description
This is a prodigiously documented textbook of scientific information concerning every aspect of management 'where the cow and grass meet'. Voisin's 'rational grazing' method maximizes productivity in both grass and cattle operations.

Book Description
With the current interest in the environmental and economic sustainability of dairy farming, grass forage crops have emerged as a potential solution to some of the nutrient management problems encountered on intensively managed dairy farms. The expansion and reintegration of grass-based systems into the mainstream of dairying systems will require a major shift involving economic, social, and ecological, as well as biological factors. This book examines the role of grass in milk production in sustainable agricultural ecosystems. Issues examined include breeding, management, storage, feeding and economics for both lactating and dry dairy cows. Written by leading specialists from Australia, Europe, New Zealand, North and South America, this volume is a valuable resource for researchers, dairy industry professionals, and advanced students of forage and dairy cattle nutrition.

Book Description
The image of the Earth on the front cover was acquired from the GOES-8 Imager by the Laboratory for Atmosphere at NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. It was taken on September 2, 1994, using two channels for the Imager to produce a "natural color" effect. The photos shown here on the back cover illustrate the four spheres of the Earth system - the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere - together with changes being produced by human activities.

Book Description
Operator theory, system theory, scattering theory, and the theory of analytic functions of one complex variable are deeply related topics, and the relationships between these theories are well understood. When one leaves the setting of one operator and considers several operators, the situation is much more involved. There is no longer a single underlying theory, but rather different theories, some of them loosely connected and some not connected at all. These various theories, which one could call "multidimensional operator theory", are topics of active and intensive research.The present volume contains a selection of papers in multidimensional operator theory. Topics considered include the non-commutative case, function theory in the polydisk, hyponormal operators, hyperanalytic functions, and holomorphic deformations of linear differential equations.The volume will be of interest to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians, electrical engineers and theoretical physicists.
