Excellent for class and/or CPA exam.......2001-04-01

I used this book for auditing class. In fact, this book is recommended by the professor. I like this book because it has the answers and explanations right next to it so you can check your answer right away. Of course, you cannot cheat yourself, so the book included a bookmark for you to cover the answers before you work on it. It is a great review book for exams, especially you are running out of time reading the textbook again. The information is very close and accurate to the textbook. It follows the pattern of most auditing textbooks.

Book Description

Competition for skilled employees is fierce! This book provides comprehensive, practical advice to employers to get and keep the people they need.

It covers such vital topics as what workers want--including a sense of making a real impact in their jobs and getting learning opportunities; why workers leave--sometimes just because they can (it's so easy to find a new job), often because they feel undervalued or bored where they are; and what best-practice companies are doing to attract and retain the talent necessary to remain competitive.

Expert Diane Arthur discusses:
* Both traditional and new strategies, including a huge array of special incentives and perks
* Online recruiting via sites like Monster.com or a company's own Web site
* Successful programs from Cisco Systems, Bank of Boston, Eli Lilly, McDonald's, and dozens of other companies, including many small firms
* Competency-based recruiting and interviewing, contingent workers, telecommuting and other alternative work arrangements, future trends, and more.

A Truly Great Challenge.......2001-06-27

I cannot think of a greater challenge to organizations today than to find, hire, and then keep peak performers. This is one of two books which I have just read. Both suggest excellent strategies and tactics to meet this challenge. (The other is authored by Harry E. Chambers.) But what if an organization now has few -- if -- any peak performers? Obviously, it must develop them. How? In Hidden Value, O'Reilly and Pfeffer explain how great companies achieve extraordinary results with ordinary people.

You can also hire them. In my opinion, one with which Arthur may agree, organizations must be constantly, indeed aggressively involved in recruiting all the time. That is to say, at least decision-makers must be identifying "the best and the brightest" workers employed elsewhere. Perhaps there is no need for them now. Even so, it is important to know who they are, to establish contact with them, and then stay in touch. One CEO I know has a simple but very effective strategy. Whenever she encounters someone who makes a highly favorable impression on her, she offers her business card. "I know you are very happy where you are now. That's great. And frankly, we do not have a suitable position available at the moment anyway. However, if you ever think about making a change, please give me a call. I'd really like to hear from you." Perhaps 18-24 months later, that person calls her.

Arthur organizes her material within 11 chapters, ending each with a summary of key points. She then provides two especially informative appendices: "Employee Benefits Glossary" and "Legal Issues." Her advice on using an outside source (e.g. an executive recruitment firm) to help generate and screen candidates will be most beneficial to larger organizations. However, almost all of the other material will be of substantial assistance to any organization, regardless of its size or nature. All by itself, Chapter 6 is worth the cost of the book. In it, Arthur offers a wealth of suggestions concerning competency-based recruiting and interviewing, correctly stressing the importance of first establishing a solid pre-recruitment foundation, one which takes into account questions such as these which anyone involved in the interview process should be prepared to answer fully:

1. Am I thoroughly familiar with the qualities being sought in an applicant?

2. Are these qualities both job-related and realistic?

3. Can I clearly communicate the duties and responsibilities of this position to applicants?

4. Am I prepared to provide additional relevant information about the job and the company to the applicant?

In other words, whenever a position becomes available, take full advantage that opportunity (a) to determine whether or not it should be filled and (b) if it must be filled, to identify job-specific competencies (prior to recruitment) and other factors which are necessary for success. In Chapter 7, Arthur includes Exhibit 8-1 which lists and briefly discusses "Reasons for High Turnover." For those organizations which have a problem with employee attrition, Arthur suggests a number of probable causes. In fact, I think all of the "exhibits" are informative, as with chapter summaries helping the reader to focus on key points which can easily be reviewed later. I also highly recommend Exhibit 11-1 in the final chapter which lists and briefly discusses 20 "Future Job Projections"; Arthur also includes Web sites which offer additional information about each, such as "workplace concierge" and "corporate anthropologist." Good stuff indeed.

Arthur's expert guidance can help any organization to formulate or refine a cohesive, comprehensive, and cost-effective system by which to recruit and then retain the people it needs. Obviously, I think highly of her book. However, given the importance of the issues it addresses as well as the serious implications of decisions which must be made, I strongly recommend that several different sources (including hers) be consulted. Amazon.com identifies a number of possibilities; those who review them can assist the selection process.

Book Description

A new era of computing began when Fibre Channel revolutionized the storage world by introducing SANs (Storage Area Networks). Organizations embraced Fibre Channel, and in the years since, SANs have become a multi-billion dollar industry.

You run out of fingers trying to count up the number of standards for Fibre Channel, and the information is not correlated well between them. FCBR-2 is designed to bridge the gap for those involved with Fibre Channel, because the 2nd Edition is a compact ready-reference to:

FCP SCSI-3 Protocol FC-SW Switch Fabric FC-DA Device Attach FC-MI Methodologies for Interconnects FC-AL Arbitrated Loop FC-FS Framing and Signaling FC-LS Link Services FC-2 Protocol FC-1 8B/10B Encoding, including a complete set of translation tables for FC-0 Connectors, Cables and Transceivers.

Switched fabrics have not only boosted the performance of storage systems across enterprises, they have provided a means to control the use and disposition of data at the same time. Had it not been for the Storage Area Networks (SANs) introduced by Fibre Channel, most storage would still be directly attached and only available to local users.

The 2nd Edition builds on the base established by the Fibre Channel Bench Reference, with almost all of the expanded content oriented to the switched fabric, which dominates installations. Information on the latest connectors and performance characteristics is also provided.

The compact size makes the 2nd Edition a convenient companion in a briefcase, and it is spiral bound to lay flat on a desk or a lab bench. Tabs separate the major sections so you can turn straight to the subject you want, and like the cover, they are mylar reinforced.

Guidelines

Those of you who are familiar with the way the standards committee, INCITS T11, restructured the FC-PH document into FC-PI and FC-FS will find that this edition of the Fibre Channel Bench Reference retains ready access to all the information you need to follow the goings on at the FC-1, FC-2, and FC-4 levels in SCSI protocol products.

This Fibre Channel Bench Reference edition has reduced the coverage of the FC-0 level because the options are getting dramatically complex to the point where you really must have the assistance of an automated analyzer to sort things out for you.

Why waste pages explaining things that computers can do for you automatically? Besides, the FC-PI standard covers all that as well as we can.

The biggest change in Fibre Channel since the last Fibre Channel Bench Reference edition has been the rise of standards for switch-to-switch communications in fabrics.

The complexity of transactions between switches also has grown tremendously. These pages cover the major SW_ILSs (Switch Internal Link Services) sent between switches.

If you are debugging a SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) application, a critical companion to this bench reference is the SCSI Bench Reference.

Book Description

Babylon to Voyager and Beyond describes the fascinating story of planetary research from the time of the Babylonians and Ancient Greeks to the modern age of space exploration. In it, David Leverington outlines the key astronomical discoveries in their historical context, covering not only the successes but also the main failures. Babylon to Voyager and Beyond is written to be accessible to both amateur and professional astronomers, and those interested in the history of science. Extensively illustrated, the book concludes with a description of the extensive planetary discoveries made by spacecraft, and the discoveries of planets around other stars.

Customer Reviews:

millennia of slow progress.......2005-03-02

Whilst Leverington confines himself to the exposition of planetary astronomy, this book is really the history of most of astronomy. After all, it was only within the last hundred years or so that astronomers had the ability to seriously look and understand further distances.

The historical unfolding given here since Babylonian times encompasses a gradual increase in understanding of our solar system. The gain in knowledge is glacial. Measured in centuries and millennia. But with the rise of the European astronomers, and thence of Newton's equations of motion, it was possible to systematically understand planetary orbits. And to deductively look for unknown planets. A successful search that culminated in the discovery of Pluto, and was probably a high water mark of Newtonian mechanics.

The book ends with NASA's outstanding Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts, that performed a grand tour of the outer solar system in the 70s and 80s. Perhaps, when you consider that this book was written in 2003, the author might have devoted more space to the subsequent missions. Still, he furnishes a good synopsis.

Book Description

An introduction to far-reaching developments in theoretical combustion, with special emphasis on flame stability, a topic that has, to date, benefited most from the application of modern asymptotic methods. The authors provide a modern view of flame theory, and a complete description of the longstanding ignition and explosion problems, including the solutions that were made available independently by Kapila and Kassoy through activation-energy asymptotics, the main theme of this monograph.

The First Book in a New Science.......2006-06-27

This book is intended for use in beginning graduate level coursework, and of course to the working researcher with a need for more knowledge in this field. It presumes a basic level of knowledge in the biological sciences at the bachelor of science level. Some knowledge of ecology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, plant physiology, animal physiology, genetics, and molecular biology will be needed. The concentration in this book is to ecology and evolutionary biology with emphasis placed on aspects that should be particularly new to the student. The book is based on research published primarily in the last five years.

The book focuses on three fundamental ecological questions:

1. What is the relationship between community structure and ecological function in ecosystems?

2. How can the variation in life-history patterns among species be explained from interaction between the genome and the environment?

3. To what extent can the limits of the ecological niche be understood from molecular stress responses?

Before this book was written, journal articles comprised the only literature on ecological genomics. They were widely scattered, difficult to find and do not present a unified approach.

Book Description

In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models', which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. The book is unique in its scope, since (1) there is currently no book that compares the two approaches, and covers all important aspects of porous media problems; and (2) includes discussion of fractured rocks, which so far has been treated as a separate subject.

Portions of the book would be suitable for an advanced undergraduate course. The book will be ideal for graduate courses on the subject, and can be used by chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, and geologists, as well as physicists, applied physicist and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.

Book Description

Nautically Challenged is a collection of witty, candidly funny mishaps about a family embarking on a new and fascinating hobby — boating. Laughing at others is much too easy a task; Harry Angus is determined to become a master at making fun of himself. Marine knowledge is not required to live his stories, you will not find any salty jargon or swearing. Humor is the only element and it spills forth on each page. The hilarious adventures start when the family decides to buy a boat, but all they know is that boats are supposed to float. The boat does float, but seamanship skills take a long time to acquire, and trouble starts right there at the dealership. Come aboard and laugh with us, or at us, whichever you prefer!

Customer Reviews:

Very Funny.......2005-01-15

Very funny book. If you ever owned a boat, it's like reading about yourself. The author has a way to describe his experiences that make him connect with the reader, and I laughed from beginning to end.
There is not really a main story for the book. It's mostly short stories not really related. I'll give him a 4 star for his first book. I'll definetly buy another one from him.
I do recommend this book to all boating and outdoor enthusiasts.
