    Book Description

    Work and Integrity is a timely resource that examines the crisis as well as the promise of professionalism in contemporary society. This vital book argues for the importance of a new civic professionalism that reflects the ideals of democracy and public service in our ever more complex economic environment. A publication of The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Work and Integrity explores the most current thinking on the various (and often conflicting) ways in which the concept of professional work is understood. Using examples from the United States and Europe, the author describes how the professions evolved from a limited kind of genteel occupation into one of the most widely emulated and sought-after models of work. The book also explores the rise of complex institutions of industrial and postindustrial society, especially the university and the bureaucratic structures of business, government, health care, and education.

      Book Description

      The determination of optimal financing and investment strategies (optimal capital structure or optimal mix of funds, optimal portfolio choice, etc.) for corporations and the economy are important for efficient allocation of resources in the economy. Optimal control methods have useful applications to these areas in finance - some optimization problems in finance include optimal control, involving a dynamic system with switching times in the form of bang-bang control. Optimal control models for corporate finance and the economy are presented in this book and the analytical and computational results of these models are also reported. Such computational approaches to the study of optimal corporate financing are not well known in the existing literature. This book develops a new computational method where switching times are considered as variables in the optimal dynamic financial model represented by a second order differential equation. A new computer program named CSTVA (Computer Program for the Switching Time Variables Algorithm), which can compute bang-bang optimal financial models with switching time, is also developed. Optimal financing implications of the model results in the form of optimal switching times for changes in financing policies and the optimal financial policies are analyzed.

        Book Description

        The European rules on jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, laid down in EU Regulation (44/2001), are of great practical importance. Preliminary considerations to the Regulation imply that decisions in which the ECJ has interpreted the Brussels Convention remain relevant for the interpretation of the Regulation. Therefore, to have a thorough understanding of the Regulation, an in-depth knowledge of the EC Court’s case law regarding the Brussels Convention is imperative. It appears that the significance of the Court’s case law lies in both the final outcome of its decisions, and in the principles that it consistently refers to in arriving at these decisions. The authors piece together the system of principles that has become apparent in the Court’s reasoning. An understanding of this system enables lawyers to understand the confines within which the Court’s argumentation is likely to take place in future cases.

        5 out of 5 stars Grandpa's Favorite .......2007-09-17

        Because I have my own wood shop and make toys for my grandkids I was attracted to this book when I first saw it. I have given it to my grandkids and to the grandkids of many of my friends and neighbors. The reports I haven gotten back from those who have received it tell me that it is their child's favorite book. The kids love the animals and especially the sounds the tools make. They also are able to learn the names of the tools used in the book. It just might spark an interest in creating wood objects for some of these children.

        5 out of 5 stars Great to read to a group.......2007-03-29

        The fun noises, the familiar song, colorful illustrations and terrific ending make this a particularly good book to read to a group of children.

        5 out of 5 stars Great.......2007-03-08

        It is as good as a new one, but at an awesome price. Thanks!!

        5 out of 5 stars Alternative Old McDonald.......2007-01-10

        We came across this in our daughter's playgroup and had to own it -- it's a lovely version of the old song but integrates "non-standard" gender views by letting female animals take charge in the woodshop. The sounds accompanying each tool are wonderful, as are the illustrations. Our two-year old loves it and wants to spend more time in the garage now!

        5 out of 5 stars Great book - cute and good values.......2003-04-30

        This book is definitely worth having. Our 2 1/4 year old son (who likes tools and loves music) loved the twist on a familiar and loved song. The depiction of Old MacDonald as a sheep and as a female!!!! who has a woodshop!!!! makes this a must have book to balance out, for both boys and girls, the lack of gender-neutral characters and over representation of gender-stereotypes that is ubquitious in both books and songs. The sounds used for the various tools are not that good so you may want to make up your own but otherwise the pictures and text are good and what Old MacDonald and the animals are building makes for a cute surprise ending.

              A great little piece of history. This was probably a handout given to Ingersoll-Rand customers in the early 1900s. The front cover has "Compliments of Ingersoll-Rand Company". The front portion of the book contains 60 pages of pictures and specifications for products such as Pneumatic tools and accessories, chisels, jackhammer steels, rock drill accessories, paving breakers, blacksmith tools, air compressors, oil furnaces, wood borers, etc.... The catalog is undated, but is marked as "5th edition" on the front pastedown, which should help date the book. The back half of the book contains approximately 100 or more pages of blank grid or quad paper for taking notes.

                                Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.

                                            The six articles in this EMS volume provide an overview of a number of contemporary techniques in the study of the asymptotic behavior of partial differential equations.These techniques include the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of solutions and eigenfunctions, behavior of solutions near singular points of different kinds, matching of asymptotic expansions close to a boundary layer, and processes in inhomogeneous media. Asymptotic expansions are one of the most important areas in the theory of partial differential equations. Readers should find the wide variety of approaches of interest.

                                            4 out of 5 stars Useful and exciting text even for physicist.......2000-01-26

                                            In the last two or three decades, we mathematical physicists, who study on Schroedinger operator and scattering theory, have been required to learn much about the frontier line of pure mathematics, especially about the functional analytic method of linear PDE. For the study on the classical treatment of PDE, many excellent books have already been published, e.g. Courant & Hilbert, Petrovsky. But for the modern and advanced tool of PDE, we can't find so many exciting texts, except this Egorov's one ! This compact text (about 200 pages) is much highly suggestive than I expected. Although this text contains only the "Elements", many great ideas should be found even by theoretical physicists. Part two of this text, which deals with equations with constant coefficients, is especially inspiring for me, and probably for you. I can't afford to wait to read the following series of this text.

                                              This engaging volume presents the complete texts of three of the most important—and historically popular—examples of the Oriental tale genre. Supporting contextual material includes samples of Orientalist writing from The Spectator, Johnson's Rambler, Goldsmith's Citizen of the World, and Edgeworth's complete tale "Murad the Unlucky," as well as a selection of modern critical essays.

                                              5 out of 5 stars From the Editor.......2002-08-06

                                              Here are some features of this collection that readers might want to know about. It includes the original notes to *Vathek* (the 1816 version) and *The Giaour* and presents them as they were intended to be presented: in separate sections following each work. Editorial glosses and footnotes, on the other hand, are at the bottom of each page--my students, who don't like hunting for endnotes, tell me this makes a real difference for them. In addition to the three main works, *Three Oriental Tales* includes a sample from *The Arabian Nights* and Oriental tales from *The Spectator*, Johnson's *Rambler*, Goldsmith's *Citizen of the World* (Letter 33, an Orientalist send-up of Orientalism), and the complete text of Maria Edgeworth's "Murad the Unlucky." It also includes Francis Jeffrey's contemporary review of *The Giaour* and a set of recent critical responses to the tales, plus a chronology of literary Orientalism in Britain from the early translations of *The Arabian Nights* to Byron's death in 1824.
