Book Description
"As a former CEO and independent director of several corporations, I find Don Delves' discussion of executive compensation -- including detailed and insightful reviews of the issues involving stock options -- to be exceedingly instructive. This is a book that members of compensation committees, indeed all corporate board members should read."
-B. Kenneth West, Former CEO, Harris Trust and Savings Bank and member of several corporate boards.
Guidelines for curbing today's stock option abuses, and making "payment for performance" the new imperative
Stock options account for up to 90 percent of the average CEO's compensation--despite a falling stock market and often plunging corporate earnings. Stock Options and the New Rules of Corporate Accountability examines this hot-button issue, proposing new methodologies and techniques for better aligning stock options, executive compensation, performance rewards, and accounting, and making sense of what has become today's most controversial form of compensation.
Executive compensation authority Don Delves explains how high-profile corporations like GE and Coca-Cola have opted to expense stock options and have adjusted their policies to prevent options from becoming disincentive tools, and he shows others how to follow suit. In addition, Delves gives decision makers the knowledge they need to:
- Increase accountability by treating stock options as expenses
- Balance options with other incentives
- Create healthier contracts between employers and employees

A Delightful Vision for Corporate Accountability.......2004-03-30
I am delighted to read an account of what is possible and how everyone wins as a result. This is such a positive book! As a woman business owner I am inspired that there are others who care about what big business is doing today, and by someone who has principles and the credentials to take it on. I applaud Mr. Delves!
Something to think about.......2003-10-28
This is a book that will make you think about who pays when executive compensation, principally in the form of stock options, is not in synch with with the law of supply and demand. The answer is that we all do: stockholders, employees, customers, suppliers and the general public. The author makes a compelling case that pay and incentives should be based on critical measures of company performance. It is not in our interest to create doubt about our corporate governance. Executive compensation planning needs to incorporate higher standards and we can no longer ignore whether stock options are an expense on the income statement. This book does a masterful job of laying out the most important considerations for the guardians of the corporate pocketbook.
It's about time.......2003-10-27
It's about time, a balanced approach to corporate accountability focused on stock options but giving clear principles that will direct the thoughtful board and officers to assure that their companies receive appropriate value for dollars spent.

Customer Reviews:
a pretty good buy.......2002-08-18
I found many exercises in this book to be useful. Most of them require no props and can be adapted to any environment. I work with school and college students and have used the exercises in my workshops with good results. The games are categorised and presented very well.
Average.......2002-02-10
Some of the activities are very good, however, you have to really look for them. Most of them are not very good or old and too familiar. However, the presentation is very good and the book has an easy reference at the begining that you can use to pinpoint the activities that are suitable for different topics.
Much less than I expected.......2001-09-18
I was very disappointed with this one. In the introduction, the author reminds us that any games or activities must be relevant to the subject. Unfortunately, I saw very few activities that I could use as-is in my workshops. They would take too much time of a two-hour workshop for little return, or seemed to have little point at all. I saw a few I could adapt to the content of my parent and/or teacher early childhood workshops.
This book is awful!.......2000-02-16
My organization purchased this book in hopes of finding some teambuilding exercises that could be used at a conference for 60 insurance claims professionals. What we found was A book filled with games and exercises designed for elementary school children or scouts on a camping trip. If we used any of these games/exercises, we would have had tomatoes thrown at us!
Real good one for HR improvement.......1999-08-30
Can you pls send me some articles on this book which wud be of a help to me in further getting back to you for more books
Book Description
With more than 20 years of coaching and teaching experience, UK authors Anthony Dowson and Keith Morris have realized that children's encounters with sporting activities need to be creative, entertaining and fun. Children can be encouraged to engage in physical activity through fun games that stimulate both body and mind. Fun games keep children healthy and active now as well as contribute to a more positive attitude towards physical activity for life.
In response to numerous requests from teachers and coaches, the authors have developed and adapted an array of activities and games from their own everyday use when teaching children. The book contains a range of warm-up ideas, games, skill practices and sport-specific activities to motivate children and encourage active participation. The games use only common sport equipment and are supported by easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations. Useful in both planning and providing physical education lessons and recreational experiences, this book makes it easy to create a varied and exciting program.
The text includes more than 30 multi-sport games suitable for children of ages 5 to 16. There are sport-specific games for cricket, striking and fielding, rugby, soccer, tennis, badminton and hockey, as well as parachute games. All activities are designed to improve children's skills in specific sports through the use of enjoyable games to promote learning. Each game offers multiple variations designed to suit a wide range of ages and abilities.
With childhood obesity becoming increasingly common, children's physical activity is becoming more important. Healthy, active young people now mean a future generation of adults less affected by the health problems associated with obesity and inactive lifestyles.
Anyone who has the responsibility of organizing activities for young people will find the ideas in Fun and Games invaluable. Through the practical games in this book, children will develop new skills as they participate in fun and enjoyable activities.

Book Description
This book is an introduction to the physical principles underlying the behavior of materials consisting of grains. Such materials can be found in an enormous variety of places, ranging from the powders used to make vitamin pills to the rings of Saturn, from beaches to grain elevators, and from pottery clay to interstellar dust. Granular materials have interested physicists from Coulomb and Faraday to Reynolds and Rayleigh, but only recently have mathematical and experimental methods been developed to analyze their properties in detail. This text develops the fundamental physics of the behavior of granular materials. It covers the basic properties of flow, friction, and fluidization of uniform granular materials; discusses mixing and segregation of heterogeneous materials (the famous "brazil-nut problem"); and concludes with an introduction to numerical models. The presentation begins with simple experiments and uses their results to build concepts and theorems about materials whose behavior is often quite counter-intuitive; it aims to present in a unified way the background needed to understand current work in the field. Developed for students at the University of Paris, the text will be suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students; it should also be of interest to researchers and engineers just eentering the field.

The granular book for physicists.......2007-10-05
This is the best book around on the general physics of granular systems. A solid addition to the shelf.
It's Just Not About Sands of Time.......2001-07-13
It is interesting that even though the behavior of granular materials (sands, powders, grains) have been studied for more than 2000 years, only recently have technologists addressed the question of determining the fundamental characteristics of granular materials behavior. Two books on the physics of granular materials have been issued by Springer-Verlag in the last year or so. I have reviewed the Ristow book. And now I consider the Duran book.
Ristow is a leading researcher in Germany. Duran is from the French school of powder technology. The two books are at once overlapping and independent. Unlike Ristow's straightforward technical approach to the subject, Duran's approach is more tutorial. And this agrees with Duran's objective as cited in the Foreward. Both authors choose to cover the same ground, and both approach the two major areas, granular behavior of piles and granular behavior in rotating systems, in essentially the same way. I find Duran's approach frustrating, however. I want him to simply "cut to the chase," to "get on with the story." Having said this, I think that Duran provides an easier-to-understand arithmetic approach to granular materials behavior. Surprisingly, this is satisfying ONLY when one rereads the material! Both Ristow and Duran give extensive references. The Duran translation is excellent and the writing and equation explanation is clean. I guess my only fault with Duran is that he does not give as thorough an approach to modeling as Ristow. My library contains both Ristow and Duran.

Book Description
Cationic Polymerization covers the essential practices and latest procedures for working with carbocationic and ring opening polymerization. It presents the kinetic rates of individual steps of cationic polymerization using laser flash photolysis and competitive experimental techniques. It examines several new catalyst systems including a water-resistant, recoverable Lewis acid for ring polymerization. It also highlights the use of living carbocationic techniques to prepare amphiphilic block copolymers, multiarm star polymers, and coupled copolymers of isobutylene, and it compares the similarities and differences of "living" radical and carbocationic techniques. Essential for chemists working with cationic polymerization, the volume is also useful for researchers new to the field.

Decent.................1998-02-17
This is a good book, but the topic is so enormous that the book is too broad and should be more specific. The book is an overview of so many areas and it doesn't go into much detail. A excellent book for someone who is illiterate in human genetics like an undergraduate.
Excellent overview of the subject........1997-09-14
Very good read. Thorough discussion of
underlying science and technology trends.

NOT a textbook........2007-03-23
I second that first reviewer's review! I thought I was ordering the actual textbook. Definitely beware! I wish I had scrolled down all the way and read that customer review first, but alas, I was in too much of a hurry. Now I'm probably going to have to buy the textbook from a super-expensive university book store.
The book is innapropriately listed on this website! They really should list it as "Cram101 Textbook Outlines to accompany 'Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications'" because THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON THE COVER OF THE BOOK!
I feel like I was duped into buying a useless book!
BEWARE NOT THE TEXTBOOK AND ONLY VOCAB!!!!.......2007-02-24
I thought this was the text book in paperback. IT IS NOT!! It is a notebook to use in class with a list of vocab words for each chapter with lined pages. Have no idea how it is useful.
