Chambers on Accounting: Logic, Law and Ethics (Routledge New Works in Accounting History)

Book Description

This volume is dedicated to the life work of Ray Chambers, who was continually seeking ways to stimulate and advance the development of a demonstrably rigorous and serviceable system of accounting. This search for an ideal led Chambers into myriad environments, an aspect of his life exhaustively illustrated in his "Aide Memoire," which forms part of this memorial volume. Accounting functions to provide input into decisions about financial matters, in particular, it identifies the present financial position. But this function has been, to a large extent, eclipsed by rules of convenience, habits and traditions that seriously distort the representation of one's financial position. The papers reproduced in Chambers on Accounting Vols. I-VI aim to rectify this situation. These and Chambers' other works have led to a system of continuously up-to-date, money-equivalent accounting of incontestable relevance to the management of solvency, profitability and financial flexibility. Of other schemes proposed before andduring the years represented here, no such claim could be justified. The first part of Volume VI contains the texts of some 26 papers and addresses presented since 1986, the date of publication of Volumes I-V. They deal with varied aspects of accounting- logical, ethical, psychological, mathematical, economic, regulatory- which are disregarded or given only cursory noticed in the professional and theoretical literature. The second part, the "Aide Memoire," gives in chronological order the places and circumstances that gave rise to the contents of Volumes I-VI and to other publications and unpublished material over some 60 of the most turbulent years in the history of accounting. The contents of Volumes I-V are grouped by material content. The references to volume-location given in this volume ease access to any item reproduced.

Dennis and Michelle Reina, principals in an organization-development firm, believe more productive and rewarding work environments will emerge if relationships that define them are truly built on trust. The problem they see is years of "downsizing, restructuring, and reengineering or of upsizing, mergers, and growth" that frequently result in minor misreadings of intention along with major breaches of promise--followed all too often by seriously diminished employee performance. The solution they propose in Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace is that leaders must develop a full understanding of the complex dynamics involved, and commit to practices that support building trust with employees. The book addresses the aspects of betrayal and trust, the bulk of it focused on "transactional trust" (which they define as "managing expectations, establishing boundaries, delegating appropriately, encouraging mutually serving intentions, keeping agreements, and being congruent in our behavior") and ways to build it among teams and groups as well as entire organizations. The authors conclude with a section on "transformational trust," the ultimate stage attained when trust within these levels "reaches a critical point and increases exponentially, becoming self-generating and synergistic." This is smart food for thought, supported by tools and techniques that can put it into practice. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

In today's competitive global economy, organizations sometimes must make difficult, even distressing changes. For them to be successful, trust is vital. After all, business is conducted via relationships, and trust is the foundation to effective relationships. This book is about trust; the power when it exists, the problems when it doesn't, the pain when it is betrayed, and how to restore it. Drawing on years of research and experience with organizations worldwide, the authors provide a simple yet comprehensive approach to trust that shows how to discuss it constructively, identifies behaviors that build or break trust, and describes steps to rebuild trust and sustain it even through periods of change. This revised, expanded edition features new examples and practical tips, tools, quizzes, and exercises to help readers create work environments where trust grows so that people feel good about what they do, relationships are energized, and productivity and profits accelerate.

Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace: Building Effective Relationships in Your Organization.......2007-07-17

We've probably all experienced that really bad job that drained every bit of creativity, energy, and enthusiasm we had. Perhaps you had that overbearing boss who had unrealistic expectations or that supervisor who wouldn't just trust you do your work. Maybe you worked in a place where suggestions or attempts to solve problems were quickly quashed or met with anger.

Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace unequivocally illustrates that such situations not only make the job a hassle but also inhibit the potential productivity of all employees. Basically, as the employee realizes that he or she (or others around them) is being devalued, he or she becomes less committed to doing the best job possible.

Dealing with the resulting morale issue is extremely challenging. Even if the actual problem is addressed, often lost trust is difficult to repair. For instance, if the company attempts to encourage employees to report potential problems, few will likely come forward because they can't possibly believe that they won't get yelled at or have their issues ignored once again. Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace explains that this situation need not be futile. There are ways to rebuild trust and address past issues to create a stronger, more productive business.

A TOP-NOTCH BOOK...TERRIFIC FOR PRACTITIONERS!.......2006-09-22

This is an excellent work that cuts through the typical babble that fills many pages of others books on the subject of trust. The content is exceeding meaty. The organization of the material is first-rate. One of the very best books on the subject. Highly recommended!

Trust as the Foundation.......2003-03-06

The Reina's develop understandable definitions and offer a well researched and thought out framework for both the development and practice of trust. They also offer practical and accessible vignettes and case studies illustrating the 'trust behaviors' that are so crucial to effective organizations and relationships.

Probably the most powerful part of the book is the section on Betrayal. Betrayal is a huge factor in our lives and we rarely talk about it. This book offers a language, method, and solution for both talking about betrayal and beginning the process of healing from it.

This is an important book for people interested in getting to the root of systemic problems in institutions, families, and relationships.

I highly recommend it!

Best of its kind!.......2002-05-23

Blown away! A huge help to solving workplace problems..help that carries over into all parts of life. The Reinas
have a great thing going. I would like to take their course and meet them in person!

A Solid Effort!.......2001-06-02

Dennis S. Reina and Michelle L. Reina discuss the importance of having a strong sense of trust in the workplace. They advocate avoiding both the major and minor betrayals that undermine trust. Creating an environment that promotes trust contributes to effectiveness in the workplace, especially during times of rapid change. The book discusses the nature and effect of trust. It is enhanced with a variety of exercises that promote workplace dialogues and help people think through the issue of trust. Many of these exercises are especially suited for teams, work groups and divisions. The exercises facilitate discussing and resolving problems in a more trusting atmosphere. This well-written, easy-to-read book is directed to front-line supervisors and unit mangers, although it will also interest top management and company owners. We [...] recommend this book to team builders in organizations of all sizes.

useful and informative.......2003-08-19

Over the few years that I've owned this book, it has proven to be one of the most consistently useful reference books in my library. I bought it because I am an astrologer who had, up to that point, been familiar mostly with computer models of the heavens and ephemeri, but wanted to begin learning to identify the major constellations, especially the zodiac, and the major stars by sight. I like that this book gives charts, useful information about how to find stars or constellations (such as the fact that the belt of Orion points to Sirius and other pointers like this), some of the meanings of the names of the stars, and even a little mythology and some beautiful photos of deep space objects. It also contains a good explanation of the precession of the equinox, a subject that can be confusing. I appreciate that this astronomical text, on the rare occasions when it does mention astrology, is non-judgemental (a nice change from some astronomers who are sometimes judgemental of astrology even though they have not actually studied the subject.)

An exceptional introduction to the constellations.......2001-05-19

As someone new to astronomy, I wanted to get a book that gave me an overview of all the constellations, what deep sky objects I would expect to find and where. Though this book doesn't deal with the planets or the moon, as far as the constellations go, I thought this book was a standout. From the alphabetical constellation maps (color-coded for each hemisphere) where every major star is named, to overviews of each constellation, to the illustrations! (no photographs) of major objects along with particular constellations, to mythological depictions from the Hevelius atlas, to the big dipper provided as scale, to advice and hints for beginning astronomers, to a general introduction to the celestial equator and star types, one is provided with a very good map of the night sky in a well designed format. There is lots here to keep a beginning stargazer occupied.

Just the ticket?.......2001-02-03

I'd been searching for a reference guide that was both well composed and conveniently sized - the larger atlases are fine for layout on an observing table, but there are numerous times when I'd like something a little more portable. I think I found one.

Diminutive in size, this book is big on useful and concise information. Although any text may be short on vibrant wit, its English translation maintains enough vitality to hold its own where it counts - completeness and essential accuracy. It's also colorful, attractively formatted, and extremely easy to browse. It should prove beneficial to both the novice and veteran observer.

This would be a good addition and a useful reference to any amateur astronomer's library. Highly recommended.

Eye-catcher and informative, an excellent guide........2000-09-29

This is an excellent guide. An eye-catcher with nice diagrams, maps,charts and pictures that will help you to find your way in the sky. Useful wheter you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, the Guide provides easy to understand tips on how to locate stars and constellations on the celestial sphere from anywhere in the world. It has detailed celestial maps and sections for each constellation from Andromeda to Vulpecula, showing which stars will be visible through different types of telescopes. A pictorial section points out some of the best known deep space objects and how to find them, and it also contains some references to the lore and mythology of each constellation. A well done work and an informative an easy to handle Guidebook for everyone who wants to get familiar with the nightsky.

Great Book.......1999-12-20

This book is a great review and description of the constellations. It explains their names, history and a description of what they mean. Be aware this is a reference book not a textbook. But if you enjoy sky watching this is a great field guide.

Book Description

Cases of viral foodborne outbreaks are on the rise in part due to the increases in population, scarcity of clean water, and changes in eating habits. Outbreaks attributed to toxic, fungal, parasitic, and bacterial agents are very well known and characterized because we have known about these diseases for a long time and have developed appropriate methods to investigate and track them. Detection methods to investigate and track viral agents in food, with the exception of shellfish, have only recently begun to be developed. However, with the advent of molecular diagnostic methods, the role of viruses in foodborne disease outbreaks is beginning to be understood.

Viruses in Foods is the first book that comprehensively discusses the role of viruses in foodborne disease outbreaks, along with strategies for the prevention and control of viral contamination of food.

Book Description

In the U.S. alone some 90,000 people die from superbugsbacteria that have grown immune to antibiotics. Officials agree that this problem will only get worse with time and new drugs must be found. One hope is bacteriophages or Phages, viruses that kill bacteria but not humans. Discovered in 1915, phage therapy was successfully used against infections for twenty years before the invention of penicillin made them obsolete everywhere but Eastern Europe, where they are still in use today. In its first English translation, this book tells the fascinating story of the discovery and development of phages and details the strides being made to bring the therapy back to the West today.

Customer Reviews:

Good, thorough telling of the story.......2007-01-09

Phage therapy, like passive immunization, is a great "back to the future" medical story. It has gotten some attention from science journalists but, to date, everybody has just told part of the story. Thomas Hausler, in writing "Viruses vs Superbugs", has filled out the story and offers a persuasive case for phage therapy's continued relevance. The history chapters are especially fascinating. I was not previously aware of the extent to which epidemiological studies had been conducted.

Book Description

This reference presents many contributions made by Dr Alfred Polson during his 41 years of research into the physicochemical properties of plant and animal viruses - detailing his timesaving approaches to the characterization, extraction, separation, concentration and purification of viruses, proteins, antibodies and biopolymers.;Describing successful laboratory techniques featuring the Beckman preparative centrifuge, this reference: examines the electro-extraction process for isolating the maximum amount of viruses from infected plant material; analyzes zone electrophoresis in sugar concentration gradients as a powerful tool for purifying entero-, insect born and insect viruses; contains material on the use of a reorienting gradient centrifuge rotor to separate components of the haemolymph of the mollusc Turbo sarmaticus as a model for virus separation; explains the construction of a modified thin-layer ultracentrifuge rotor for concentrating viruses into suspension rather than pellets; elucidates the use ofinserts in ultracentrifuge tubes in order to decrease the time of centrifuging; and introduces a method for determining pure viruse suspension densities.;This resource is intended for microbiologists, virologists, biochemists, molecular and cell biologists, immunologists, biochemical and bioprocess engineers, chemical engineers and graduate students in these disciplines.

Life, Sex, and Fast Pitch Softball is the story of a family becoming a team as they learn the rules of the game. The protagonist and narrator, Mercedes Mayfield, like Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye, is troubled but observant, as she faces the difficult challenges of adolescence and family disruption. Her voice is that of a modern teenager, cynical but hopeful, as she copes with the games people play on and off sports fields. In her season as catcher for the Hillfield Hellions, she is forced out of her safe, affluent world and gets to know some fascinating people—two of them her own parents.
