Book Description
Miller Not-for-Profit Reporting is organized to focus first on existing pronouncements and proposed pronouncements that are expected to be issued in the near future. Those pronouncements apply directly to not-for-profit organizations and are covered in Part I, "Introduction and Background." Part II, "Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organizations," addresses accounting for individual account types and transactions recorded in the books of a not-for-profit organization. Part III, "External Financial Reporting," deals with external financial reporting, and Part IV, "Regulatory Financial Reporting," deals with regulatory reporting in the government arena, including requirements of the OMB Circulars and federal and state tax rules.This volume analyzes all FASB Statements to the extent that they relate to reporting by not-for-profit organizations. Accordingly, not all of the recent pronouncements will be reported on in depth. As we did last year, we encourage you to use the Miller Complete Library for Business--consisting of the Miller GAAP Guide, the Miller GAAP Implementation Manual, and the monthly Miller GAAP Update Service--also published by Harcourt--to keep current on accounting and reporting matters that pertain to all entities.

Cooperative Capitalism: Self-Regulation, Trade Associations, and the Antimonopoly Law in Japan (Japan Business and Economics Series)
Ulrike Schaede Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0198297181 |
Book Description
The Japanese government is becoming less involved in shaping industrial policyDSbut what does this imply for the openness of Japanese markets to foreign competition? In an extensive study of 'post-development' Japan, Ulrike Schaede argues that, contrary to what many have suggested, the reduced role of government regulation may not result in more open markets. Instead, as has happened throughout Japanese history, deregulation and the recession of the 1990s have once again led Japanese trade associations to assume important regulatory functions of their own. They do this through 'self-regulation'DSsetting and enforcing the rules of trade for their industries, independent from the government. As a result, many Japanese markets are now effectively governed by incumbent firms, in particular in terms of structuring the distribution system. As the record of postwar antitrust enforcement reveals, Japan's antitrust system considers most activities of self-regulation, other than outright price-fixing, as legal. Using interviews and a unique database of trade association activities, this book concludes that increasing self-regulation renders both government deregulation programmes and international trade negotiations ineffective in opening Japanese markets. The implications of self-regulation for Japanese industry are mixed: while internationally competitive firms can use self-regulation to reduce competition at home in order to compete more forcefully abroad, some domestic industries, such as the financial sector, may suffer from increased self-protection.

Public Policy and Economic Competition: Change and Continuity in Antimonopoly Policy, 1973-1995 (Nissan Institute Routledge Japanese Studies Series)
Michael Beeman Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415249694 |
Book Description
Viewed historically as the lapdog of business, bureaucratic and political interests, Japan's Fair Trade Commission has had mixed success in promoting its agenda for stronger antimonopoly policy since the early 1970s. Dr Beeman unravels antimonopoly politics in Japan through an analysis of the diverse interests of industry, government, and other parties to reveal how and why antimonopoly policy has made important inroads yet ultimately failed to gain deep acceptance in Japan.
Employing extensive use of primary research materials and numerous interviews of key participants from government and industry, Dr Beeman finds predictable patterns of change and continuity in antimonopoly policy from the perspective of legal scholars or from the narrow context of Japan's key industrial sectors. The book provides a unique insight into an agency and a policy that has often been criticized within Japan as too stringent and from outside Japan as too lax.

Star Struck: One Thousand Years of the Art and Science of Astronomy
Ronald Brashear , Daniel Lewis , and Owen Gingerich Manufacturer: University of Washington Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0295980966 |
Book Description
The night sky has always fascinated artists and scientists, awed by its beauty and perplexed by its meaning. Star Struck illustrates some of the rarest and most beautiful books in the history of astronomy, drawn from the Huntington Library's collections and supplemented with Hubble Telescope deep field images supplied by NASA and with illuminated manuscripts from the J. Paul Getty Museum.The history of astronomy is marked with observations that failed to conform to philosophical beliefs and with the social, political, and spiritual collisions these inconsistencies brought. The ancient Greeks knew the Earth must dominate the universe, but their observations of irregular planetary movements did not easily confirm their conviction. Nicholas Copernicus, an official of the Catholic Church in Poland, articulated a theory of a heliocentric universe--but he did so cautiously, publishing his work in the year he died in 1543. More than a half-century later, Galileo looked at the Moon through one of the earliest telescopes and used this new perspective to defend the Copernican model, for which he spent the last decade of his life in prison. The copy of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus now in the Huntington's collections was once owned by Edwin Hubble, who made extraordinary discoveries 75 years ago while perusing the night skies from California's Mount Wilson Observatory.

Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment: Health Hazards to Humans, Plants, and Animals, Three Volume Set
Ronald Eisler Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1566705061 |
Book Description
Written over a period of 17 years, the Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment exhaustively examines and analyzes the world literature on chemicals entering the environment from human activities. The three volumes cover chemicals recommended by environmental specialists of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other resource managers. The choices were based on the real or potential impact of each contaminant and on the knowledge available about their mitigation. The information for each chemical includes source and use; physical, chemical, and metabolic properties; concentrations in field collections of abiotic materials and living organisms; deficiency effects; lethal and sublethal effects; and proposed regulatory criteria for the protection of human health and sensitive natural resources. Each chapter selectively reviews and synthesizes the technical literature on a specific priority contaminant and its effects on the environment. Successful risk assessment relies heavily on extensive and well-documented databases. They often include too much - or too little - information about too many chemicals. Of the hundreds of thousands of chemicals discharged into the environment, only a small number have sufficient information to attempt preliminary risk assessment. Sold only as a three volume set, the Handbook of Chemical Risk Assessment provides you with the exact amount of information you need in a single resource.

Captured By Aliens: The Search for Life and Truth in a Very Large Universe
Joel Achenbach Manufacturer: Simon & Schuster ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0684848562 |
Amazon.com
Joel Achenbach (Why Things Are) describes Captured by Aliens as a travelogue, a record of his strange journey into "alien country." With Carl Sagan as a sort of totem animal on this spirit quest (in fact, one of the author's first stops is Sagan's living room), Achenbach plots an eccentric course through the land of UFOs and the search for extraterrestrial life, going from NASA headquarters in Washington, DC to local MUFON meetings, from an asteroid-blasted quarry in Belize to a Las Vegas hotel room in which he's hypnotized by an alien abductee. He even visits the set of the X-Files. (Achenbach reveals Gillian Anderson's very un-Scully-like take on alien beings: "[T]hey operate, vibrate--this is going to make me sound like a complete nut--they vibrate on a different energy level than we do.")With the investigative skill of a seasoned reporter (which Achenbach is, for the Washington Post) and the wit and charm of an NPR commentator (which he also is), Achenbach turns out to be the perfect companion for such a cosmic road trip. This curious, earnest, and frequently hilarious writer proves equally at ease with legit figures like Sagan and NASA administrator Dan Goldin as he is with self-described "Starseeds" (aliens in human bodies) and technophiles like Mars-booster Bob Zubrin. Achenbach knows his science, but he always brooks just the right amount of nonsense. --Paul Hughes
Book Description
The great minds of the human race, employing ever more fabulous technology have peered into the depths of space and discovered that we exist on a tiny speck in a universe that is vast beyond comprehension. But there is one thing we have yet to discover: a single scrap of extraterrestrial life. We have heard no signals, found no alien picnic trash. The aliens who allegedly abduct people in the middle of the night have a strange way of evaporating in the harsh glare of scientific scrutiny. And so at the turn of the millennium we are in an intellectual fix: we know the universe only through its structure, its physical properties, its chemistry. Of its biology we can only guess. Are there creatures out there like us, with big brains and restless spirits? Or are we, for all intents and purposes, alone? If aliens exist -- if there really are intelligent creatures zooming around the galaxy -- then where in tar-nation are they?
Washington Post reporter Joel Achenbach -- the author of Why Things Are and a commentator for National Public Radio -- puts the ET debate into the context of the space program, discoveries in astronomy, and the hunger for meaning and spiritual nourishment in an era when science often doesn't provide the answers that people desire. He finds that the topic of extraterrestrial life is poisoned by wishful thinking, by the natural human yearning to make contact with our brothers and sisters in space.
But ha also finds some fascinating, admirable, and maddening characters who have pursued the truth about extraterrestrial life: Cad Sagan, the brilliant astronomer who brought the cosmos to the masses; Dan Goldin the cantankerous head of NASA who still believes in the dream of the Space Age; Henry Harris, a former Las Vegas lounge singer who is assigned the job of figuring out how to get a spaceship to Alpha Centauri; and various and sundry ufologists, experiencers, spiritualists, and channelers for whom the aliens are an ever-present reality.
In this fascinating, funny, and spirited book, Achenbach discovers that the search for life elsewhere leads us on a looping road back to the fundamental questions about life on Earth. To think coherently about extraterrestrial life, we first must come to terms with who we are, why we exist, and what it means to carry around in our cells an evolutionary history that took tour billion years to unfold Achenbach's message is that it is a wonderful and thrilling thing to be a sentient human being -- a creature capable of foolish romanticism -- in a universe that is mostly rocks and gas and dust and empty space.

Achenbach is a bit too worshipful toward Carl Sagan and former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin. In particular, he glosses over the fact that Goldin's faster, better, cheaper policy led to three major mission failures in the late 1990's.

Captured By Joel Achenbach.......2001-12-23
I wasn't disappointed. "Captured By Aliens" is a pleasure to read, and Achenbach is often very funny.
Achenbach is an unapologetic skeptic who explores several strands in what the book's subtitle calls "the search for life and truth in a very large universe": SETI (the Search for Extraterretrial Intelligence), which looks for radio emissions from other technologically advanced civilizations; the search for life on other planets, including the heated debate about whether the Viking landers or the famous Antarctic meteorite show that there is (or was) life on Mars; the chances of finding intelligent life anywhere besides earth (assuming, for the moment, that you can even find it here); and the heartfelt if wildly inconsistent beliefs of UFO enthusiasts and others who are close to the fringe.
The book is also useful as a brief and sometimes moving biography of Carl Sagan, the astronomer and skeptic who wanted very badly to believe but, in the end, found nothing that satisfied his rigorous standards of proof.
The only criticism I have of "Captured By Aliens" is that it sometimes reads like a disjointed string of short articles rather than a sustained narrative. This is not surprising, since several of the chapters appear to have been derived from pieces that were published in magazines. That being said, this small flaw actually makes the book easier to enjoy in several sittings.
If you enjoy authors who examine the lore of aliens with a skeptical wit, you might try David Darlington's "Area 51: The Dreamland Chronicles" or Phil Patton's "Dreamland: Travels Inside the Secret World of Roswell and Area 51." Darlington and Patton are less conspicuously skeptical than Achenbach, but their books are nonetheless an interesting exploration of a modern mythology. Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot," to which Achenbach often refers in his book, is also worth reading for what it has to say about Sagan's views on the search for life in the universe.

Book Description
Set in the fictional subdivision of Galapagos Estates, Rattled is a very funny look at what happens when soccer moms, animal rights activists, dishonest real estate developers and, of course, rattlesnakes, get together and fight for ascendancy in the rapidly developing New Jersey suburbs. All Heather wants there is a nice house. Well, a nice house and a nice piece of land. And of course a basement gym, a master bath with radiant heat, Jacuzzi and his-and-her toilets. She could make do without a media room if she had to. After all, the pioneers hadnt had plasma TV, and theyd survived. Heather is not your average suburban housewifeor maybe she is. But when her fortuitous meeting with an endangered species of rattlesnake sets this first novel in motion, you may find yourself feeling sorry for the snake. Sharp, biting, and absolutely entertaining, Rattled is brilliant social satire.Customer Reviews:
