Accountant-auditor, assistant accountant, auditor;: The complete study guide for scoring high, (Arco civil service test tutor)

Book Description

Every company hopes to get better prices, better service, and more predictable behavior from their suppliers. Now, the developer of the STeP (Systematic Technology for Procurement) System has provided purchasing executives with a complete guide to logically systemizing their company's procurement operations. Based on practices developed in the procurement of high- technology systems and now extended to all large-scale purchasing operations, the STeP System saves corporations money and leads to better results when negotiating procurement deals.

Purchasing and supply chain managers will learn to plan for procurement, create and train a purchasing team, request and evaluate proposals, and competitively negotiate deals. This book thoroughly provides a strategic view of the customer/supplier relationship, and includes tables, figures, checklists, and self-evaluation forms, along with bonus material such as Procurement Plan outlines, Deal Summary sheets, and sample SOW (Statement of Work) outlines. Finally, a book has arrived that puts the science back into the art of the deal.

Book Description

From the Congress of Vienna to the "war on terrorism", the roles of "great powers and outlaw states" have had a major impact on international relations. Gerry Simpson describes the ways in which an international legal order based on "sovereign equality" has accommodated the great powers and regulated outlaw states since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Simpson also offers a way of understanding recent transformations in the global political order by recalling the lessons of the past--in particular, through the recent violent conflicts in Kosovo and Afghanistan.

Book Description

As with its predecessor, this edition uses a practical non-mathematical approach. Features a number of recent developments in the field including two-dimensional methods, solid state NMR and an enlarged treatment of Fourier Transform methods. Contains numerous two-color diagrams.

OK, but not great........2005-04-29

The real strength of this book is in its compilation of a vast amount of physical data in tables and spectra. It is geared towards the practical chemist who wants to learn and understand classical NMR spectroscopy. The physicist will be disappointed by the convoluted explanations and lengthy paragraphs. There are no errors in the book as far as I know, but the explanations given and proofs aren't necessarily the shortest and most elegant. You'd need to consult other books for that. Also disappointing is its wide use of old school quantum mechanical wave functions rather than density matrix notation. While this is fine, it makes the derivations too long, and for no good reason.

Also disappointing is the price of $100 for a paperback! I boought this book 2 years ago for $70 at a local bookstore. How can the publisher increase its price by $30 over two years? This is absolutely scandalous given that it is only a paperback. You'd be better off buying a cheap pirate Chinese edition for $10.

A complete and comprehensive book about NMR.......2001-06-18

I strongly recommend this book about NMR principles by Harald Gunther. I study chemistry and it was useful for me in structural analysis of organic compounds. I think its most atracttive feature is the the clear and comprehensive way that uses to describe the NMR principles and experiments (including pulse experiments and 2D NMR). You understand what you read without having to read it once again. This book is also very complete and includes some solved exercises

Book Description

With each passing night, Malcolm Cicchio is losing one minute of sleep. At this rate, he figures, his heart will explode in about sixteen months. But no matter how much time he has left, Malcolm has some things he'd like to get done. For example, he's got to organize a "foreign film festival"-i.e., a screening of Bergman's Wild Strawberries-at the run-down theater he manages, to impress the pretty suicide-hotline volunteer he just met. He still wants to get his wristwatch back from his ex-girlfriend Lena (does she really need it when she's about to marry a cardiologist?). And there was one other thing...oh, yeah-getting a life.

Very funny and sweet story.......2006-03-01

The humor in The Sweep of the Second Hand builds from the first page. Author Dean Monti carefully develops the character of Malcolm, a sweet progressive insomniac who manages a small Chicago art theater with a stunning lack of pretense. Malcolm pragmatically and sleepily stumbles through his existence waiting for life to happen to him, which it does in laugh-out-loud events with a variety of women. Monti's treatment of each of these supporting characters is spot-on as well. Men will especially enjoy Malcolm's outlook, body functions, and the ultimate meaning of life as he finds it. The story would make a fantastic guy movie, by the way--a studio should snap it up. I highly recommend The Sweep of the Second Hand to all.

Monti "Sweeps" the publishing industry with first novel!.......2006-02-06

I thoroughly enjoyed Dean Monti's first novel. His writing is superb, the story of Malcolm is extremely funny and quite believable, which makes this an easy read ... once you start you can't put it down. Monti uses nice transitions from chapter to chapter, so there is a good flow to the story. Almost everyone can identify with at least some of Malcolm's neuroses. I'm anxiously awaiting another Dean Monti story!

Great read.. want more!.......2003-02-18

I laughed... some of it the kind of nervous laughter like that part in swingers where Mikey kept calling his ex-girlfriend and leaving messages. You just want to grab Malcomb and tell him to stop. I can totally picture the theater, 2-flat apartment and characters in this story. Really enjoyable. Thanks!

Excellent Book.......2003-01-08

Monti has done amazing work with this book. I am anxiously awaiting more! Everyone, young and old should read this book...it is excellent!

highly recommended!.......2001-12-31

I read the manuscript of "The Sweep of the Second Hand" about ten years ago, when I was just out of grad school and working in a literary agency. I LOVED IT; the agent did not. Though I lobbied hard, she was not about to expend the effort based on my opinion. So, this is one of those books where, when people say "did you ever pass up on a great book that went on to get published to great acclaim, etc?", I can finally say YES.

The story is hilarious. Though it was years ago, I still remember it clearly: Malcolm's neuroses; the bees in the wall; the band called the Circadian Rhythm Section; Malcolm's movie theater, where he only showed depressing Bergman films to keep people away; the girl at the concession stand... Laugh-out-loud funny and so well written.

I give this 4 out of 5 stars because, after editing, it is not the exact same version that I read.

Mr. Monti, if you read this, congratulations on finally getting your wonderful book published!!

Book Description

The high point of medieval Islamic expansion was the 700-year presence of the 'Moors' in Spain and Portugal. The Arab and Berber conquest was followed by the establishment of a richly distinct culture in Andalusia, where for a while Muslim and Christian co-operated as often as they fought. The rise and fall of successive Islamic dynasties brought new invaders, fragmentation and disunity; and the growing Christian kingdoms to the north eventually doomed the amirate of Granada, the last Moorish bastion, which fell to the Castilians in 1492. The colourful armies of Western Islam are described and illustrated here in fascinating detail.

Typical Osprey book.......2007-03-29

How could you go wrong with a men-at-arms book like this one, with the concise but comprehensive text by David Nicolle with the addition of Angus McBride's excellent artwork? I appreciate how Nicolle portrays the Moors as not a bunch of almost naked barbarians, but as materially scarcely different from their foes. The early Arabs and north Africans have often suffered from the 'barbarian' and 'noble savage' stereotypes as much as the Gauls, Germans, and Spaniards in Roman days.

Book Description

The Pan-American Scientific Congresses ushered a new scientific era in Latin America. Bringing together scientists, engineers, and medical researchers from both South and North America, they facilitated the exchange of ideas between the two regions at the beginning of the twentieth century. Nobel Prize thinkers such as Albert Michelson and others, such as Franz Boas and Elmer Sperry, were some of the participants. The study describes the latest scientific advancements being diffused in these congresses, as well as the factors affecting the adoption of such advancements. Rodrigo Fernos teaches at the University of Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras).
