How to Influence Others at Work, Second Edition
Dick McCann Manufacturer: Butterworth-Heinemann ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0750609907 |
Book Description
Being able to influence others is absolutely vital to the business manager who is not only responsible for their own destiny, but also the well-being of their staff and the future of their company. Getting people to do what you want them to has occupied the minds of generations of scholars, not to mention dictators. Among the former, the psychologist Carl Jung was perhaps the most prominent. His concepts of the extroverted and introverted personality, of archetypes and of the unconscious are now widely accepted.

Invasive Species: Vectors And Management Strategies
Manufacturer: Island Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1559639032 |
Book Description
Recent years have seen a steep rise in invasions of non-native species in virtually all major ecoregions on Earth. Along with this rise has come a realization that a rigorous scientific understanding of why, how, when, and where species are transported is the necessary foundation for managing biological invasions.
Invasive Species presents extensive information and new analyses on mechanisms of species transfer, or vectors, as the latest contribution from the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP). Contributors assess invasion vectors and vector management in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems for major taxonomic groups in a variety of regions around the world. The book:
Chapter authors review fungi, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, with geographic assessments covering New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and the United States.
Although the full extent and cumulative impact of nonnative species can only be approximated, biological invasions are clearly a potent force of global change, contributing to a wide range of deleterious effects including disease outbreaks, habitat alteration and loss, declines of native species, increased frequency of fires, and shifts in nutrient cycling. Vectors are the delivery mechanisms, resulting in recent increases in rates of new invasions. Invasive Species brings together in a single volume new information from leading scientists around the world on approaches to controlling and managing invasion vectors. This volume is a timely and essential reference for scientists, researchers, policymakers, and anyone concerned with understanding biological invasions and developing effective responses to them.

Invasive Species and Biodiversity Management (Population and Community Biology Series Volume 24) (Population and Community Biology Series)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0792368762 |
Book Description
The invasive species problem will become increasingly important in the years to come. Trade, travel and tourism are rapidly globalized, and border controls are reduced. This affects natural ecosystems in which aggressive invaders may have disastrous effects. `New' diseases affect human, animal and crop health. The Convention on Biological Diversity presents national authorities with a tall order in coping with this problem. For the first time in one volume, this book presents both ecological, biological and epidemiological aspects of invasive species, as well as the problem of disease organisms for agriculture and human health. The book constitutes a comprehensive background to the global strategy for managing invasive alien species which now is being developed by SCOPE and UNEP.

Issues in Bioinvasion Science: EEI 2003: a Contribution to the Knowledge on Invasive Alien Species
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402029020 |
Book Description
Biological invasions are a global problem whose local impact can be of great magnitude. The prevention and minimization of the impact of invasive alien species has become a priority because of their negative impact on biodiversity, economy and public health.
Effective responses are needed; cooperation and coordination among countries and/or different sectors of society are a must. To combine and share experiences on biological invasions at international, regional and local level it is essential to develop compatible approaches to common problems.
With this aim, the GEI (Grupo Especies Invasoras) organised the First National Conference on Invasive Alien Species in Spain in 2003. Scientists coming from different parts of the Iberian Peninsula belonging to universities, public administration, NGOs and environmental enterprises and world-renowned experts on biological invasions from other countries responded to this "call for action" and participated in the conference.
Issues in Bioinvasion Science contains key contributions of this conference. The themes included cut across different aspects of non-native species invasions. This volume is essential reading for anyone seeking an understanding of non-native species invasions.
Our aim: to go beyond national boundaries in order to tackle these complex biological issues.

Amazon.com
A hardcover guide with very thin pages, Footprint Handbooks' Caribbean Islands Handbook will stand up to travel better than most. There's a concise but incisive summary of each island's history, literature, flora, and fauna; activities, beaches, and festivals; and a detailed guide to sightseeing, accommodations, dining, and entertainment. A densely packed guide that's meant to be brought along, it's strong on current info (like which roads are rough and which museums are "temporarily" closed); good with phone numbers, hours of operation, and prices; frank on health risks and where to change money; and pithy when it comes to descriptions. The focus here is on packing in as much travel information as possible without weighing you down with an unwieldy tome. Footprint doesn't lead you here or push you there; instead, it provides all the information independent travelers need to explore as they choose. --Stephanie GoldBook Description
