Business Combinations and International Accounting

Book Description

This innovative series module on Business Combinations covers the basic principles as thoroughly as any text would. However, because of the unique structure of the system for consolidation eliminations that this module incorporates, the complexities require only simple modifications to the basic system. An instructor may be able to reduce the amount of class time devoted to business combinations thereby allowing more time on in-depth explanations.

Book Description

To ensure access to affordable medicines, particularly in developing countries, is one of the great challenges faced by the international community. At the 2001 Doha Ministerial Conference, the groundbreaking "Declaration on the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement and Public Health” was adopted. In its aftermath, new legal instruments were developed both at WTO and EC level. While the focus at the WTO lay on how countries with insufficient or no manufacturing capacity for pharmaceuticals could make effective use of compulsory licensing, the EC adopted a regulation to promote differential pricing for needed medicines. The authoress focuses on these responses developed under the TRIPS Agreement and in the EC. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the new legal instruments and highlights contrasts and interlinkages between the pursued strategies.

Book Description

The book gives a comprehensive overview of technologies for decentralised power generation (DG technologies), including those based on both renewable energy sources (RES), and on combined heat and power (CHP) technologies, and of relevant policies of the EU and its Member States. Special attention is paid to barriers to implementation and success factors that were drawn from 24 case studies carried out throughout the EU. Furthermore, the book offers policy recommendations regarding how to move towards a level playing field for DG technologies. Additionally, the analysis is founded on the results of a study for future developments in European DG technologies and likely scenarios for the role of DG in the future.

Book Description

The first Asian Accelerator School (AAS) was organised to show the rapid development of accelerator sciences based on electron storage rings in Asia. At present seven electron-positron colliders are operational in the world, and two of them are located in Asia: KEKB (the KEK B-Factory) at KEK in Japan, and BEPC at IHEP in China. It is also notable that one-third of the operating synchrotron light sources are Asian machines.

To further improve the performance of electron storage rings, the use of superconducting magnets and cavities is of vital importance; therefore the curriculum of AAS was arranged not only to teach the basic physics of storage rings but also to give students a basic knowledge of superconducting technology.

Book Description

Leonardo Cook, practicing psychiatrist, is experiencing a delicate emotional phase. His wife has left him for another man, his patients are boring and he's feeling somewhat guilty about his relationship with his girlfriend, a Starbucks employee half his age. And he may be on the verge of another nervous breakdown.

When Leonardo is called upon by a friend to talk a tech genius out of making public a secret new innovation-and the tech genius ends up jumping out of the window-Leonardo's life takes flight on a roller-coaster of disaster.

Making a darkly hilarious debut, Jonathan Canter gleefully builds a small Massachusetts town filled with the interrelated lives of fantastically neurotic characters-and at their center, poor, "lucky" Leonardo. Fast-paced and laugh-out-loud funny, Lucky Leonardo is not to be missed.

Readers are the lucky ones.......2005-10-19

My only regret is that this extremely entertaining novel had to end. Canter skillfully weaves memorable and honest characters into a matrix of compelling events, which flow across intersecting time lines. If you have been around long enough to, despite your best efforts, be swept up in circumstances beyond your control, this engaging book will shed a bright light on how to keep smiling through it all. It is difficult to put this book down, with its funhouse mirror reflection on how we deal with the turmoil in our lives. If you are lucky enough, you will read this book and learn how to use a sense of humor through it all.

Tries too hard and way too much ...........2005-02-01

I read all the rave reviews about this book and was very excited at the prospect of a great weekend read. Instead, I thought it was a book that tried way too hard to be off beat and funny. There were so very many characters, many of them sketchy at best, and the organization of events was very jumpy. I was not at all pleased to have wasted my 11.95 on this one.

Send humor, drugs and lawyers.......2005-01-14

As if Nabokov had written Desperate Housewives and changed the setting to the Boston burbs, which are colder, brainier, and more clever.

A supersonically fast and fun read that will transport you for X minutes (depending on your habits) to Canter's wonderfully clever, picaresque, and effervescent world of law firms, hi-tech, middle-aged sexual longing, casinos, and an ambient world where dazzling observation takes the place of gravity.
......a GREAT place to transport yourself to on a crowded airplane, lousy family event, or if you need great company on a Stairmaster.

A Unique and Amusing View of Family Life.......2004-09-12

This is a book with a style and sense of humor that are both original. The protagonist, a divorced pyschiatrist, starts out as a successful, golf-addicted man-in-demand, but quickly becomes entangled in an insider trading scandal during which he falls from grace and lands on a young Starbucks attendant, named Chrissy. But my words are insufficient. It is how Author Canter's words sing to you to about your own feelings and make you laugh out loud, even as the protagonist falls further and further from where we first found him and then inexplicably recovers the had of his wife. At the end of the book you will only want to know this: when is the next book coming?

Lucky Reader.......2004-09-11

Okay, this is a very funny book-a Keystone Kops caper by a former Harvard Lampooner that joyfully leaps from one set of hijinks to the next. But, as they say on late-night TV, there's more: Attorney Canter provides a rich bag of tricks Author Canter and the tale is anchored in all kinds of legal madness. Leonardo Cook is a good soul-a warmly drawn character who is every bit as endearing as Michael Malone's Raleigh Whittier Hayes or John Kennedy's Ignatius J. Reilly-forever just a banana peel away from catastrophe. His tale is compelling and Lucky Leonardo is a more than just a bundle of laughs: It's a page-turner that grabbed me from the get-go right through to the stunning resolution.

Book Description

Since the end of the Cold War, armed conflicts have increasingly taken place within, and not between, states. Boundaries between political and criminal violence are becoming increasingly blurred, while the very definition of "security" is undergoing radical change. Today, security is about the protection of communities and individuals from internal violence as well as the defense of borders against external threats. It is this focus--on the individual rather than the state--which distinguishes "human security" from "national security". National security is about protecting the state; human security is about protecting people. Both should be mutually reinforcing, but secure states do not necessarily mean secure citizens. During the last 100 years far more people have died at the hands of their own governments than have been killed by foreign armies. Despite the fact that more than 90% of armed conflicts now take place within, and not between, states, most governments and mainstream security research institutions continue to focus on national, as opposed to human, security. National security remains important, but in a world in which interstate war is the rare exception there is a need for a new and very different global security audit. The Human Security Report will address this need. Modeled on the UN's Human Development Report, the Human Security Report will provide an annual mapping of the incidence, intensity, causes, and consequences of global violence and policy responses to that violence. Each report will carry a series of essays focusing on a thematic issue. The theme of the first issue will be "War in the 21st Century". These essays will explore the emerging consensus about the causes of what is now being called the "New War" and the increasingly blurred distinction between criminal and political violence in many parts of the world. The UN, the World Bank, the OECD, the G7, and an increasing number of donor states now accept that understanding the root causes of contemporary violence--such as armed conflict, civil war, genocide, and terrorism--is a necessary condition for creating effective policy. The fact that the relationships between violence, economic underdevelopment, and bad governance are mutually interdependent is also understood. But prevention strategies that seek to address these relationships are hampered by bureaucracy and poor communication between the academic disciplines. This report aims to bridge these fault lines. Funded by national governments and the Rockefeller Foundation--and endorsed by leading scholars, NGOs, and the foreign ministers of the 13-nation Human Security Network--the Human Security Repor will be an indispensable reference tool for all theorists and practitioners wishing to generate higher levels of synergy between the development, governance, and conflict resolution communities.

Book Description

The struggle between Indians and whites for land did not end on the battlefields in the 1800s. When this hostile era closed with Native Americans forced onto reservations, no one expected that rich natural resources lay beneath these lands that white America would desperately desire. Yet oil, timber, fish, coal, water, and other resources were discovered to be in great demand in the mainstream market, and a new war began with Indian tribes and their leaders trying to protect their tribal natural resources throughout the twentieth century.

In The Invasion of Indian Country in the 20th Century, Donald Fixico details the course of this struggle, providing a wealth of information on the resources possessed by individual tribes and the way in which they were systematically defrauded and stripped of these resources. Fixico contends that federal policies originally devised to protect Indian interests ironically worked against the Indian nations as the tribes employed new tactics with the Council of Energy Resources Tribes, using the law in courts and applying aggressive business leadership to combat the capitalist invasion by mainstream America.

Fixico's analysis of this war being waged throughout the century and today serves as an indispensable reference tool for anyone interested in Native American history and current government policy with regard to Indian lands.
