Book Description

Effective human resource management is a critical function in today's public workplace. The authors have written a Second Edition to this best seller to help readers develop key skills for success while also reminding them of the complex puzzles and paradoxes of management in the public sector. Human Resource Management in Public Service emphasizes active learning capturing student’s interest through end-of-chapter questions and group exercises. The authors provide a selection of HRM material that primarily addresses the needs of generalist public managers while still being appropriate for those seeking an HR career. While highlighting the public service heritage, the chapters reflect the stages of the employment process from start to finish. Readers learn to effectively manage people in the essential aspects of recruitment, selection, training, legal rights and responsibilities, compensation and appraisal. Practical applications, inclusion of essential theories, tools and processes, and the lively, brief presentation of the text can be appreciated by both students and professors alike.

The Second Edition:

Meets students needs: Added material relevant to the needs of students seeking to promote their careers and on-the-job effectiveness
Provides end-of-chapter cases:Brief cases added to the end-of-chapter exercises
Highlights new developments: Insertion of informative textboxes to highlight applications, recent developments, controversial issues, and the like
Reflects changes in practice: Material in each chapter has been updated and modified to reflect changes in practice, policy, law, and scholarship in local, state, and federal sectors
Identifies useful websites: Links with specific, useful information provided in each chapter
Discusses nonprofit organizations: Provides applications and discussions relevant to nonprofit organizations.

The Second Edition of this award winning text is written for students and professionals in human resource management, public administration, public service, and political science.

I took a HR class where this was the required book. I thought it was well organized and informative, but was a little overkill in some parts. Overall though, I thought it was a good book with a lot of pertinent information in the HR field. You've been Bzzed! [...]

Book Description

Both experimental and theoretical investigations make it clear that mesoscale materials, that is, materials at scales intermediate between atomic and bulk matter, do not always behave in ways predicted by conventional theories of shock compression. At these scales, shock waves interact with local material properties and microstructure to produce a hierarchy of dissipative structures, such as inelastic deformation fields, randomly distributed lattice defects, and residual stresses. A macroscopically steady planar shock wave is neither plane nor steady at the mesoscale. The chapters in this book examine the assumptions underlying our understanding of shock phenomena and present new measurements, calculations, and theories that challenge these assumptions. They address such questions as: - What are the experimental data on mesoscale effects of shocks, and what are the implications? - Can one formulate new mesoscale theories of shock dynamics? - How would new mesoscale theories affect our understanding of shock-induced phase transitions or fracture? - What new computational models will be needed for investigating mesoscale shocks?

Book Description

Cyclodextrin Materials Photochemistry, Photophysics and Photobiology provides to the scientific community the state-of-the art on photochemistry, photophysics and photobiology of cyclodextrin complexes in one book, and the chapters material will trigger further research in applied science connected to these small nanocapsules.

The chapters contain a large number of information of value not only to readers working in the field of cyclodextrins, but also to researchers working on related areas like those of supramolecular chemistry, nanochemistry, and in general in nano- and biotechnology.

* 14 Chapters reviewed by specialists working in the field
* Chapters are ordered from simple to more complex systems and techniques providing developments in the field and its future
* Of interest to a multidisciplinary audience working in confined nanostructures

Book Description

Written by leading international scientists the Handbook of Conductive Molecules and Polymers covers a vast range of organic materials, their chemical and physical properties, technology, and applications. Drawing on two decades of pioneering research, this is the first book to emphasise the multidisciplinary nature of the subject. As the subject continues to evolve it has an inevitable impact on related fields. Hence the publication of this work—the first multi-disciplinary handbook of conductive molecules and polymers.

Book Description

Microbial mats are benthic communities of a variety of microorganisms. Their investigation requires multidisciplinary studies and close cooperation between microbiologists, biogeochemists, and geologists. Reported here are recent advances in the study of structure, development and ecological relationships. The methodology described includes microsensors as well as new molecular techniques for the detection and identification of microorganisms. Increasing interest exists for applied aspects, e.g. the possibility to use natural or constructed microbial mats for the degradation of xenobiotics, for site remediation, etc.

I liked it very much!.......1998-11-10

I am ten. Our teacher read this book to our class. It was funny and I liked it!

Magical -- a story full of dreams!.......1998-11-07

A masterpiece in children's literature.

Excellent. My daughter couldn't put it down!

Warm and funny!.......1997-03-28

I read this book when I was a ten-year-old. It was a welcome and refreshing change after I'd o.d.'s on too many Judy Blumes and Judy Blume clones with their mean-spirited, "tell-it-like-it-is" approach. Hatchigan's writing is gentle and humorous, and her characters are warm and funny. The book made me laugh and taught values at the same time -- in a un-corny, un-preachy, subtle way. Excellent

This is the way children's books *should* be written!.......1997-03-28

This book has heart. Parents who care what their children read ought to welcome this one! "Count Dracula" is a warm, funny tale told in the first person by a bright ten-year-old who discovers she has ESP just in time to help save her family's cookie business -- and keep her newly single Mom from marrying the dreadful Mr. Digbert -- the "Count Dracula of the tale. This book makes excellent "read-aloud" material for the classroom. "Count Dracula," Me and Norma D." features the hands-down best "children's voice" in children's literature since Barbara Robinson's "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." A ten
