    Book Description

    Accounting is essential, and easy to learn. At its most basic, it's simply the grammar of business, giving structure to the way financial information is recorded. It is also the language of finance, providing the vocabulary that you need to work effectively in the business world. The fact is, if you want to manage successfully and really master the art of business, you have to understand financial statements--those documents that summarize the financial results of your business. Accounting Simplified: A Self-Study Guide will help you accomplish this goal easily and quickly. If you are: An investor considering whether to buy, sell or hold securities; A lender evaluating loan requests; A supplier deciding whether to extend credit; A manager trying to determine how to run your business better; you will immediately benefit from this straightforward, no-nonsense book. Using this simple self-study guide, you'll quickly learn how to: Work comfortably with income statements and balance sheets by understanding revenues and expenses; assets, liabilities, and owners equity; Analyse and record transactions and determine how they relate to the financial statements; Close the books in preparation for a new year; Recognize income whether on an accrual basis or a cash basis, and what the difference is; Understand and record prepaid expenses, inventories, and long-lived assets; And much more. Filled with examples and practice exercises you can do at your own pace, in your own time, this practical "how-to" book will lead you to a higher level of business expertise and give you renewed confidence in your daily business tasks.

                    Book Description

                    This is the only book of its kind to address the effect of agricultural decentralization on the Nigerian national economy. In his effort to demonstrate how decentralization promotes development that can economically empower individuals, Uwadibie thoroughly analyzes three key aspects of Nigeria's decentralization policy. These are the Local Government Reform Act of 1976, the creation of new states, and the implementation of the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP). Together, these policies reduced the overall role of the federal government in the national economy by diverting revenue to states and dissolving the federal government's direct ownership of agricultural enterprises. Based on his extensive research, Uwadibie concludes by making a number of additional policy recommendations that he believes are essential for Nigeria to become self-sufficient in food production. Those with an interest in African studies, economic development, or agricultural production will find much to their liking in this work.

                                          Book Description

                                          Written by one of the world's leading theorists working on the Josephson effect, this extensive monograph offers a detailed description of the statics, dynamics and statistics of Josephson junctions. Particular emphasis is placed on the dynamics of new circuits and analog and digital devices using single quanta of magnetic flux. Professor Likharev also describes for the first time in the monograph literature new phenomena of correlated tunneling of single electrons and Cooper pairs in ultrasmall tunnel junctions.

                                          5 out of 5 stars A classical book on Josephson effect.......2001-10-06

                                          This book illustrates Josephson effect clearly and completely. Hard to find better one on this field. Only that the price is as high as its value.

                                                This novel about Emma Wedgewood, wife of Charles Darwin, centers around her hallucinative mind. Her grief at the death of their child Annie is given a bizarre twist by some ergot mold on the bread she uses for her pudding; her world becomes the twentieth century. Burch presents her husband’s sympathetic letters which contain fragments from Darwin’s Expression of the Emotions In Man and Animals and contributions from other characters such as the social worker and Emma’s unusual later offspring, Ralph Waldo Business Administration. Claire Burch, whose abilities with fiction are complemented by her previous research and publications in psychiatry, experiments with narrative voice by apparently doing away with it. This technique is striking, like overhearing a conversation of strangers in the dark. Are these the imaginings of Charles Darwin’s wife, or is she someone who thinks she’s Darwin’s wife? She lives in our time or does she just think she lives in our time? ! The reports of Emma’s caseworker place the wife among us struggling with her schizophrenia, her kids and her ex who won’t fork over past due child support payments. Contemporary slang jolts the reader in its juxtaposition to Darwinian ideas. Hundreds of line drawings by the author continue the mystery. The unexpected is well presented here. -Michael Healy
