International Accounting Standards (IAS) are hotter than ever due to their endorsement by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and the European Commission's groundbreaking decision to require all listed companies throughout the European Union to apply International Accounting Standards (instead of their national accounting standards) by 2005. These two milestone proclamations of support have given the IAS (soon to be called the International Financial Reporting Standards or "IFRS") the long-awaited backing they need to become truly international GAAP, or global accounting standards. As a result, more and more countries in emerging and developing economies, as well as global players, are adopting these standards.
This handy yet comprehensive quick-reference guide helps accountants prepare and understand financial statements presented in accordance with the rapidly evolving, ever more widely used International Accounting Standards. The 2002 edition of the authoritative, practical guide to IAS compliance includes complete coverage of all the standards issued or revised under the IOSCO's "core set of standards" program and those issued thereafter. More than ever before, every accountant or corporate financial official involved in-or contemplating-registration in foreign markets now needs the guidance offered in this book. Written by a team of practicing CPAs with in-depth international experience in applying IAS, this guide includes meaningful real-world examples and interpretive insights into the requirements of IAS.
This up-to-date 2002 edition covers important, complex requirements addressed by the recent IASs, including:
Plus: Other IASs including the revised standard on Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1), Cash Flow Statements (IAS 7), Construction Contracts (IAS 11), Segment Reporting (IAS 14), Property, Plant and Equipment (IAS 16), Leases (IAS 17), Revenue (IAS 18), Employee Benefits (IAS 19), Income Taxes (IAS 12), Government Grants (IAS 20), Business Combinations (IAS 22), and a chapter on the often contentious topic of Related-Party Disclosures (IAS 24) as well as coverage of specialized industry accounting rules-Disclosures in Financial Statements of Banks (IAS 30).
Also included: Coverage of Issues Papers on Insurance and Extractive Industries and interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) currently operative-SICs 1 to 25.

Excellent book to learn the 360 Degree Review system.......2006-03-14
This book was very helpful in showing me the ins and outs of a 360 degree review system. Has the basic theory, how to implement the system, and ways t work around the resistance to change.
Practical ideas.......2002-09-19
Lots of ideas that can be transferred into one's real life situation easily.
What's Not Covered.......2000-06-28
The book is excellent for development of policy for 360-Degree, why it should be implemented, and what steps to take before and after the feedback.
This is not an instructional book in the development of a 360-degree questionnaire.
The book provides excellent knowledge on what, where, who, when, and how. Highly recommended for knowledge, but not for building of the questionnaire.
The ABC of 360-Degree Feedback........1999-11-28
"We wrote this book", write R.Lepsinger and A.D.Lucia, "with three audiences in mind. The first consists of 'human resources professionals' who are just beginning to look at 360-degree feedback as a means to address the business needs of their organizations. These are people who have not had much experience using 360-degree feedback to solve business problems and have many basic questions that require answers if they are going to use the technology successfully. The second audience consists of 'line managers' who have heard a lot about 'this 360-degree feedback stuff' and want to understand it well enough to determine if it is the right approach for their organization. The third group consists of 'more experienced HR professionals' who would like a compherensive reference work on 360-degree feedback that makes it easy to access the information they are looking for without having to skim through dozens of magazines and journal articles and textbooks."
In this invaluable study, authors organize their book into two parts :
(I). Preparing to use 360-degree feedback.
In this part, they :
i. offer basic information, including a definition of 360-degree feedback and a brief overview of its history and evolution.
ii. illustrate how a diverse group of companies (real cases) has successfully used 360-degree feedback to address different organizational issues, such as achieving business strategy, supporting cultural change, fostering individual development, enhancing team effectiveness, and identifying training and selection requirements.
iii. discuss and compare the two most common methods for collecting 360-degree feedback- interviews and questionnaires.
iv. focus on the use of interviews alone to collect data or as a supplement to the data provided by a questionnaire.
(II). Implementing a 360-degree feedback.
In this part, they :
i. focus on how to administer a 360-degree feedback process in a way that increases people's enthusiasm and ensures a high degree of confidence in the results.
ii. describe and compare three methods for delivering the feedback- group workshops, one-on-one meetings, and self-study.
iii. review what needs to be done after the feedback is collected and reviewed to ensure that recipients absurb the messages they have been given and take appropriate action.
iv. discuss the benefits and obstacles to using 360-degree feedback in HR management systems.
I highly recommend this invaluable study.

Product Description
E-Z Rules is not a substitute for the actual text of the official Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and should not be quoted or cited to. E-Z Rules is meant to be used as a quick reference and guide to understanding The Federal Rules, and cannot completely replace them. In addition, the 'overview' for each section of the Federal Rules is not meant to be a comprehensive teaching tool, as it does not consider case law. It is merely meant to provide the general scheme and remind the reader of certain key points of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. E-Z Rules translates the confusing statutory language of the Federal Rules into plain and simple English. E-Z Rules are designed to give you quick access to important information you often need, without the unnecessary strain of dissecting long, monotonous, statutory texts. E-Z Rules is easy to use. It has been carefully tailored to meet the needs of both the law student and today's active law firm.

Combines the problem and witness examination approach with text, not cases, that sets out the law of evidence in a clear and concise manner. Most of the discussion is devoted to the policies and concepts underlying the rules. Questions and problems follow most sections.

Book Description
Three essential items for Moon observers.
The Moon is usually the first celestial body that captures an amateur astronomer's attention and imagination. Its large size, close proximity and brightly illuminated features makes it a favorite subject of study for astronomers of all levels.
Moonwatch is the convenient combination of three useful items for observing the Moon. These include:
- Moon Observer's Guide book
- Highly detailed map of the Moon's near side
- Photographic poster showing the Lunar phases.
The Moon Observer's Guide is a highly illustrated, practical introduction to moon-watching. It is organized with a twenty-eight day observing diary, and features tips on recording observations and helpful advice on Lunar photography.
The Moon Map (40" x 27") is a highly detailed look at the Moon's near side. Hundreds of physical features - all of which can be seen with binoculars or a telescope - are labeled and indexed, including the locations of Lunar landings. The sidebar text offers practical guidance on moon-watching and highlights spectacular features. A smaller map of the far side completes this comprehensive depiction of the Lunar surface.
The Moon poster (34 1/2" x 23") is a photograph showing all the Lunar phases. The poster is double-side, showing how the Moon is seen from both the southern and northern hemispheres.
Moonwatch is an ideal starting point for the growing numbers of amateur astronomers.

Gothic/Romance at its best!.......2004-10-12
This book will leave you guessing at the outcome until the last page. Who will win the heroine, Victoria's heart and love? Pick up a copy today to find out how this gothic/romance ends. This tale embraces the twilight hour, when romance is in the air and passion rouses the senses. This tale is a compelling, suspenseful, and passoinate lovestory.
Backcover:.......2004-08-07
"Victoria Ancona's father had died suddenly-and without telling her the truth about his disastrous business dealings with the Hayne family of Cape Fear, North Carolina. Orphaned and alone, her hope of becoming a teacher shattered, Victoria had no choice but to accept the hospitality of the Haynes, at least until her debts were settled. Saddened and fearful of her uncertain future, nagged by an indistinct memory of vague warnings, Victoria traveled reluctantly to the fabled Moonwatch, a dark, craggy structure that seemed to sit like some giant bird, still and watchful upon its wind-ravaged perch.
She expected a cool reception from the widow Hayne, but nothing had prepared her for the woman's icy hostility and the strangeness of her son and daughter, united in bitterness against Victoria yet unwilling to allow her to leave."

Word problems made easy.......2003-12-12
I decided to buy this book while I was enrolled in a general chemistry course, in order to get more practice at solving word problems and to gain better insight at how to do so. This book presents any type of word problem that you are likely to face in a general chemistry class ( stoichiometry,concentrations,gas laws,thermochemistry,electrochemistry,equilibrium,colligative properties, and thermodynamics), and describes how to solve it along with explanations of the concepts involved.
Each section starts with a short description of the theory behind the problems to follow so you gain an understanding of the chemistry behind the problem. Afterward, serveral word problems of that type are fully worked out so a full understanding can be gained. Each chapter concluded with numerous supplementary problems followed by the answers. Highly recommended.
Solid clarification, even for the VERY LOST........2003-09-29
For all those who thought they had substantial mathematical skills and overall capacity for learning chemistry (and realized they were sorely mistaken by the third lecture), THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. I am a reasonably intelligent person and a really good student, but my ego shrank to infinitesmal proportions when I tried chem in preparation for medical training.
Goldberg's written word sounds like you're sitting in a lecture, only clearer. Don't give up, just get the right way to learn it. Goldberg's writing is a good start.

Book Description
In this groundbreaking work, Friedrich Kipp shows that childhood and youth - an extended period of nurture and protection from the struggle for existence - have been, and will continue to be, a necessary condition for human evolution.
Kipp's comparative study of the juvenile stage in animals and humans also sheds surprising new light on the process of human evolution and our relation to the animal primates. In their earliest developmental stage, animals - and the animal primates in particular - display characteristics reminiscent of human children. However these more universal, humanlike characteristics are quickly lost as the animals adapt to specific ecological conditions. The animals' early closeness to the human form and their developmental trajectory away from it suggest that the main trunk of the evolutionary tree is intimately associated with human evolution.

Book Description
A goofy, absolutely ridiculous little tale of seduction between two unlikely parties, told step by step with 24 rather revealing colour photographs. For romantic souls blessed with an off the wall sense of humour!
When Margaret tries matching up Isabella, her Spanish dancer doll, with Cavatappo, her bright yellow, Italian corkscrew, Isabella is horrified. He's just a handful of silver and yellow metal tacked together!
Or is he?
Cavatappo soon shows Isabella how charming, romantic, athletic, cultivated and fun he really is. To her delight, Isabella discovers she can't judge a corkscrew by his screw.
