"Rigorous and Practical".......2004-10-27

This is a rigorous and practical book in which the author takes you on a methodical, purposive journey, but it is not a highly technical accounting textbook. Each new area is introduced by applying the basics learned at the start. All fundamental areas of accounting are covered, but each is not overbroad. The learning process is facilitated by constantly applying the fundamentals of accounting to real examples. This application tests what you have already learned.

Book Description

This book provides an international comparison of workers' compensation insurance practices. It begins with an explanation of the major characteristics of a workers' compensation program such as which workers are covered and what medical care of expense benefits are provided. The book: describes the minimum standards prescribed by the International Labor Organization in 1964 and the United States National Commission on State Workmen's Compensation Laws in 1972; summarizes what options 136 nations have selected for each of the major characteristics; shows how these options tend to vary from nation to nation according to location, income status, and its security system; and describes in detail the workers' compensation program in 13 nations including the U.S., U.K., Japan, Hungary, The Netherlands, and Germany, to name a few. The nations were selected because they represent a wide variety of the approaches that have been made to workers' compensation programs throughout the world. This book is an invaluable reference source for anyone working in the areas of industrial relations, insurance, labor economics, and actuarial studies.

Book Description

A sweeping overview of the American peasantry: the largely sharecrop cultivators who, in Seavoy's analysis, rejected the labor norms of commercial agriculture. About equal numbers of black and white sharecroppers chose to practice subsistence cultivation in order to minimize agricultural labor. The study begins with pre-Civil War slave plantations and the landless white peasants who migrated to North America to escape full-time paid labor in Britain. Seavoy then describes and analyzes the operation of the postbellum sharecrop system and related Back Caste System; the different origins of southern and northern Populism; the massive displacement of southern peasants (after 1950) when cotton cultivation was fully mechanized, and how the voluntary joblessness of the urban underclass has been perpetuated by the welfare entitlements of the Great Society.

Customer Reviews:

A fantastic little book for students enrolled in organic chem........2007-01-06

This small book was a requirement in my organic chemistry lab last year. Unfortunately, I think I'm the only one who actually read it. Had others cracked the binding a few times I imagine there would have been fewer exploding flasks and spilled beakers. This awesome little text explains (with humor) the best ways to set up apparatus for experiments, to avoid explosions, and to get in and out of the lab quickly with as few mistakes as possible. I'm happy to report that I never lost any glassware to an explosion, though I did lose a couple pieces to carelessness. Zubrick also covers basic distillation, separation, washing, and extraction techniques, as well as briefly covering spectroscopy. A very simple and helpful book for ochem undergrads.

Can't take Ochem lab w/o it!.......2006-09-12

This is a phenomenal book in which Mr. Zubrick brings down the complexities involved in Organic Chemistry Lab into terms that undergraduates can understand. Also, in something I've never seen done before, he adds humor to his writing. I actually enjoy reading this book, and get more out of it then any other lab text I've ever read. If you take Organic Chemistry Lab without it, you're doing yourself a pretty big diservice.

Worthwile.......2006-01-28

Zubrick's manual gives a comprehensive overview of fundamental lab methods. I've found it to be very useful on many ocassions. However, some of the explanations could be improved with discussion of the theory, especially the sections on chromatography. Even so, it's cheaper than other books and explains many techniques very well.

What have I done to you chemistry??.......2005-10-10

I bought the book because they said it was good for writing Lab Reports. But no, I can't, The book is so incomplete, he wastes space trying to make it funny and humorous. I'm not gonna write his jokes on my report. Yeah and remember if you didn't copy the whole lab manual on your notebook, you are dumb and you got the highest F.

great book.......2005-10-10

very helpful for organic chemistry lab, very clear directions and the author writes in a way geared towards students so it is funny

Wade Lavender secret phen book .......2007-02-12

A must for the avid scientist in your family, helped me in many way through detailed understanding of priciples and equipment. Goog book for the novice or intermediate chemist . Will not dissapoint 5 stars

Serendipitous..........2003-09-12

As well as being extremely detailed, intelligent and helpful, this book is hysterically funny, which makes it a joy to read and easy to understand. A nice change from the usual ...yawn... science-reference manuals. I would strongly encourage other students to take advantage of this terrific piece of work.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2002-12-27

This book promise so much by the wide coverage of topics in Organic lab. but it delivers nothing. Aside from listing the topics in the Table of content. The seemingly knowledable Prof. Zubric presents an unorganize, incomprehensible 294 pages of something that read like a page from a low budget Comic Strip. Am shock that a well respected publishing house like John Wiley and Son would lend their reputation to a low quality like this. The author talked about every thing that are irrelevant. what is needed is a good intro. to the subject like -EXTRACTION and then the stepwise layout of professional quality discussion of headings like - Materials involved; procedure; observation; conclusion etc. he fail to approach the subject prof. The book would pass for a Book of Short Jokes. Do not waste your money. D BOOK DID NOT HELP ME IN MY CLASS ANYWAY...

Used it so much in lab, it almost became my right. VERY helpful! Easy to read with a nice twist of humor.

Right On!! The Best Lab Manual Ever!!!.......2001-11-07

This book was chock full of concise, yet extremely valuable, information, and the wit with which it was presented made prelabs bearable, if not exactly fun. Thank your lab professor if this is a required book, and definitely pick it up if it's on the reccomended list (or even if it's not!).

Customer Reviews:

Very useful and in great condition.......2007-05-29

This book is very useful and was delivered in excellent condition after only a short period of time!

Always the best!.......2005-10-10

As the Faure's 1986 2nd version being the 'classic' isotope textbook for geology, this book improved from the older version by adding new materials and new references.
It covers all of the important isotopes for geologic use including their basic geochemistry. Faure and Mensing explain everything clearly. All of the materials are nicely arranged and well written.
The only issue here is that there are many typos you can find if you read carefully.
I would recommond this book to geologists at all levels!

decent book (and discount that creationist review).......2002-12-16

First, to actually say something about this book, it's a solid and comprehensive look at a burgeoning field. The use of radiogenic isotopes as geochemical tracers and for age determinations of various sorts is now a crucial component of studies of all parts of the Earth system. Inevitably, a single text that tries to cover such a diverse suite of rapidly developing subdisciplines will run into some glitches and not be completely current, but Dickin has provided a very good starting point for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in isotope geochemistry and/or geochronology. This book is just about the only survey text available, and fortunately, it's good.

A second point: the "review" posted by the 'reader from Washington State' is a dogmatic creationist screed that doesn't address the content of the book and gets the story of the Jack Hills zircons wrong. The comments by this person could be taken as the type example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. For those that are really interested, I suggest that they look at the original papers involved in the controversy. For those that are just skimming this site, let me point out that the "rock unit" that was dated at Jack Hills is a sandstone, so of course the zircons showed a "confusion of information" because they were derived from all manner of different parent rocks by erosion! If you want to understand the complexities and nuances of geochronology, and learn how these very different techniques are used for purposes like characterizing geochemical reservoirs, determining the temperature history of rocks, and --yes-- determining the absolute age of rock units, read Dickin's book, and only then visit the creation science sites for a hoot.

This book takes the reader through the complete weathering cycle, from the continents to the oceans, from the perspective of modern radiogenic isotope geochemistry. Topics include surface weathering, fluvial processes, environmental pollution, oceanography and paleoceanography, sedimentary mineral diagenesis and radiometric dating, thus bridging the gap between processes acting on the Earth today and the geological record. Extensive use is made of carefully selected case studies, both pioneering and state-of-the-art. This book enables the reader to critically assess previous work from the literature as well as encouraging already established researchers to apply the most modern isotopic approaches to their particular field of study.

Book Description

Warren Adler is the acclaimed author of 25 novels, published in 30 languages. Two of his books, "The War of the Roses" and "Random Hearts" were made into major motion pictures. He lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and New York City. With time running short, the lively and intrepid residents of the Sunset Village retirement community in Florida continue to thirst for life. But the true beating heart in these acclaimed short stories is the love of family and friends and the finding of joy in the very act of being alive. In America, where "old" is a dirty word and people over sixty-five are often treated as if they had a contagious disease, these humorous, jewel-like stories prove our older folks still have a taste for sex, romance, excitement and living. Join the thousands of readers who have let the Sunset Gang into their hearts. They will teach you a lot about the aging process and about life itself - a subject on which they, after all, are the experts. Made into an acclaimed three-hour trilogy on PBS's American Playhouse, starring Uta Hagen, Harold Gould, Doris Roberts, Anne Meara, and Jerry Stiller. "Warmth, poignancy, humor and love fill the pages." · The Jewish Post "[Adler] writes about these people with so much insight, so much tenderness, never guilty of sentimentality¿ one admires Adler not merely for his fictional prowess but for his compassion and wisdom." · Howard Kissel, Woman's Wear Daily "Adler expresses universal themes with affection and amusement. Highly enjoyable." · Library Journal

Download Description

With Time Running Short, These Intrepid Residents of Sunset Village in Florida Continue to Thirst for Life and Love. The Sunset Gang is as lively, fun, and courageous a group as you'll find anywhere this side of the Last Reward. The fact that you'll find them at Sunset Village, a condominium retirement community in Florida where an ambulance siren is the theme song and cycling at a stately pace is strenuous exercise does not mean that they are ready to pack it all in. Not by a long shot.Indeed, sex and romantic love keep Sunset Village bubbling with activity. If you were to walk down one of its well-tended paths, you might spot Jenny and Bill sitting on a bench, acting like young lovers, and never suspect that they are married (but to other people). And at the pool Max Bernstein, with an expertise that comes from five decades of skirt chasing, is singling out attractive widows.The real sine qua non at Sunset Village, however, is the love of family and friends. Widowed Molly Berkowitz learns that although her son and daughter may be failures in the eyes of the world, they are well worth bragging about; and Isaac Kramer begins to feel truly at home when the gray-haired boys at the laundromat start calling him "Itch." In America, where "old" is a dirty word, people over sixty-five are often shut out, as if growing old were some kind of contagious disease. But you cannot shut the Sunset Gang out of your heart, and, if you let them in, they will teach you a lot about living a subject on which, after all, they are the experts. A three hour mini-series on PBS's American Playhouse, starring Uta Hagen, Harold Gould, Doris Roberts, Anne Meara, and Jerry Stiller.
