Comprehensive and lucid, genuinely strategic, leading edge.......1998-08-24

The great strength of this publication is it's comprehensiveness in taking a strategic approach to the management of integrated value chains.

The book covers many of the specific supply chain management issues that many company's around the world are grappling with today and provides many insights and road maps for supply chain executives as they seek to lower total system costs and improve their service offer.

But just as importantly this book will provide an excellent resource for CEO's and other GM's who are looking to integrate their product market and growth strategies with the operational excellence required to deliver superior performance.

Book Description

What happens to a chemical once it enters the natural environment? How do its physical and chemical properties influence its transport, persistence, and partitioning in the biosphere? How do natural forces influence its distribution? How are the answers to these questions useful in making toxicological and epidemiological forecasts?

Environmental Chemodynamics, Second Edition introduces readers to the concepts, tools, and techniques currently used to answer these and other critical questions about the fate and transport of chemicals in the natural environment. Like its critically acclaimed predecessor, its main focus is on the mechanisms and rates of movement of chemicals across the air/soil, soil/water, and water/air interfaces, and on how natural processes work to mobilize chemicals near and across interfaces—information vital to performing human and ecological risk assessments.

Also consistent with the first edition, Environmental Chemodynamics, Second Edition is organized to accommodate readers of every level of experience. The first section is devoted to theoretical underpinnings and includes discussions of mass balance, thermodynamics, transport science concepts, and more. The second section concentrates on practical aspects, including the movement between bed-sediment and water, movement between soil and air, and intraphase chemical behavior.

This revised and updated edition of Louis J. Thibodeaux's 1979 classic features new or expanded coverage of:

Equilibrium models for environmental compartments
Dry deposition of particles and vapors onto water and soil surfaces
Chemical profiles in rivers and estuaries, particles and porous media
Fate and transport in the atmospheric boundary layer and within subterranean media
Chemical exchange between water column and bed-sediment
Intraphase chemical transport and fate

This Second Edition of Environmental Chemodynamics also includes twice as many references and 50% more exercises and practice problems.

Book Description

Over the past three decades, the pace of global environmental change has been increasing, and there are warning signals that this trend may accelerate. This has triggered much reflection (and action) within the environmental policy community.

Volume Four of the Encyclopedia of Global Environmental Change provides key information on the progress that has been made during this time in the field of human responses to global environmental change - by institutions, academia, governments, lawyers, economists and the whole array of people around the world involved in this field.

The opening essays discuss actions that have been taken, or are contemplated, to deal with global environmental change followed by 100 shorter articles which elaborate on these themes.

Topics covered include:
* strategies for adapting to global change

* tradable emission permits

* the Biodiversity Convention

* the Montreal Protocol

* various tools that assist in the development of better long-term environmental policies (environmental assessment methods, environmental dispute resolution, the design of early warning monitoring systems

* indicators of sustainability, etc.)

* the precautionary principle and Agenda 21.
This volume will prove of great interest to the public, governmental and intergovernmental bodies, engineers in search of technological solutions, business and industry, the scientific community and various sectoral interests such as the fishing, forestry and tourist industries.

Book Description

This text and software package contains many of the formulae needed for researchers to compute atomic processes, including photoionization, Auger and radiative decay, elastic scattering and ionization. The calculations are set within the Hartree-Fock approximation and its generalization to the random phase approximation with exchange. The results of calculations can be used to solve a wide range of physical problems, from atomic strucutre to cross sections of collision processes. The text explains how to use the ATOM programs, the software for which is written in FORTRAN and may be used on VAX or UNIX-based machines. The programs each consider a different range of variables. The organization of the text and software is designed to help the user calculate what they need to as easily as possible. It is a unique compendium of information for those researching atomic properties and processes, in particular for those working in computational physics. It will be useful to those working in atomic and molecular physics, astrophysics, radiation physics, plasma physics, and solid state physics to obtain accurate information about atomic structure.

Book Description

James L. Nelson, "the American counterpart to L. Patrick O'Brian" (David Brink), writes breathtaking descriptions of the age when saliors became warriors and warriors became legends. Now his acclaimed Revolution at Sea Saga continues as General George Washington fights a loosing battle to keep Philidelpia from the hands of the British.

ALL THE BRAVE FELLOWS

It is 1777, the Year of the Hangman, and Captain Isaac Biddlecomb is bound for Philidelphia with his wife and child in the Continental brig of the Charlemagne. His orders are to take command of the newly built 20-gun frigate Salmouth and get her out to sea before she is taken by General Richard Howe's invading army.

Unbeknownst tp Biddlecomb, the entire British fleet stands between him and the new nation's capital. Forced to run his beloved Charelmagne aground, Biddlecomb comes face-to-face with his mortal enemy, Lt. John Smeaton.

Meanwhile, General Washington has yielded Philidelphia to Britain's might. As Biddlecomb and his crew battle to reach the prized Falmouth, only shipwright Malachi Foote and a ragtag band of deserters from the Continental Army stand between the vessel and the seemingly unstoppable British Army.

I want more. I am in love with Isaac Biddlecomb, and with Jim Nelson for writing such a superb series.

More Mr Nelson please!

Five Stars for the Fifth Book.......2004-11-15

In the fifth book of what started as a trilogy and has turned into a saga, Isaac Biddlecomb has been given the captaincy of the United States frigate Falmouth. His ship is being built on the Delaware River below Philidelphia. What he doesn't know is that the British have taken Philidelphia and stand between him and his unfinished ship. The ship itself has been spirited away to a safe location by the shipwright who designed it and an unlikely band of deserters. As the story starts he is enroute to his new command on the brig Charlemagne, sailing with a small convoy when a British naval ship is encountered. Thinking that the British ship is no match for them, they attack. His convoy suddenly turns turtle and the battle goes against them, which leaves them beaching the brig, fighting off the British who are sent to take them prisoner and setting off over land to find a way to the Falmouth.

In the initial encounter and old enemy returns, Lt. Smeaton from the Icarus, who has lost his career in His Majesty's Navy thanks to Biddlecomb and who will die a happy man if he can kill him. Smeaton is bested in the first encounter, but the two shall meet again. (and again)

The story turns between the efforts to save the Falmouth and Biddlecomb's need to find it and assume command, all of which come to a cresendo at the end of the book. The pace of action and intrigue have not slipped in this fifth book and there is much of the Revolution at Sea to come, one thinks. That is good news indeed.

Only the Strong Hearted Should Read Nelson's Books........2004-02-04

If you have a weak heart, tire easy, or prone to sea sickness or startle easy by the sound sound of cannon fire ... dont read this or any other of James Nelson's books .. because as soon you open the book you realize you are going to sea and its going to be rough! Nelson's books (5 in the Revolution at Sea Saga series) are a truly the best sea sagas I have ever read .. including Mr. O'Brians. His close relation of history to fiction puts the reader into the history books and into the action. As a history major and amatuer historian of the period, I can find no fault or error. His charactors are depicted so completly they become real. You share thier emotions,thier excitement and thier adventure. Nelson's style of writing is
without doubt, amoung the best I have ever read. I highly recomend this as well as other books by James Nelson.

The best yet!.......2002-09-29

When you thought it couldn't get any better, Mr.Nelson pulls out all the stops for the finale.
Isaac and two privateers are en route for Philadelphia to take command of 'Falmouth', when they encounter a British man-o'war; what should have been a fairly easy victory is turned into resounding defeat, as the privateers decamp at the first taste of hot metal - leaving Isaac at the mercy of the bigger ship with the weather-gauge. He has no option but to beach his beloved boat, rather than be captured, especially as his sworn enemy Smeaton is aboard.

All the characters are fully-formed now and we reap the benefit of understanding their actions and their foibles; I think Smeaton is excellently portrayed - the aristo with a chip on both shoulders and an obsession with finishing Isaac off - he is pivotal in this gripping 'factional' tale of how the British were forced to abandon the occupation of Philadelphia.

Again we see Isaac's headstrong character take over and cause him trouble, as he loses two boats in quick succession (though not entirely his fault) and almost loses his wife and his life in the protracted vendetta with Smeaton.
The sub-plot of rescuing and fitting-out the 'Foulmouth' is a great counter to Isaac's stranding and attempt to find her, as the two plots run side by side, interspersed with Smeaton's gradual descent into mania.

Although this appears to be the last in the 'Revolution at Sea' saga, I suspect that there is more to come before Isaac is finished with the British - at least I hope for more...

Best of a great series.......2002-06-26

I have enjoyed all of James Nelson's books in the Isaac Biddlecomb series, but this one is the best by far. Nelson's skill at characterization is in full force here. He creates believable, riviting people put in often impossible situations and reacting the way real people will. It is just not right to say the British are portrayed as evil - they get the same even treatment that the Americans do - not good, not bad, just people. On top of that, the plot moves at break-neck speed. Great reading! Though the first three books say "Trilogy" the last two say "Saga". Nelson's web site says he hopes to finish the Biddlecomb series some day, and I certainly hope he does! Also don't miss Nelson's Marlowe novels, starting with The Guardship.

Book Description

A comprehensive guide to the world of mergers and acquisitions
Why do so many M&A transactions fail? And what drives the success of those deals that are consummated? Robert Bruner explains that M&A can be understood as a response by managers to forces of turbulence in their environment. Despite the material failure rates of mergers and acquisitions, those pulling the trigger on key strategic decisions can make them work if they spend great care and rigor in the development of their M&A deals. By addressing the key factors of M&A success and failure, Applied Mergers and Acquisitions can help readers do this. Written by one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field, this invaluable resource teaches readers the art and science of M&A valuation, deal negotiation, and bargaining, and provides a framework for considering tradeoffs in an effort to optimize the value of any M&A deal. Applied Mergers and Acquisitions is part of a complete suite of resources on M&A that includes a workbook and a CD-ROM with additional spreadsheets.
Robert F. Bruner, MBA, DBA (Charlottesville, VA), is the Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the Darden School at the University of Virginia and Executive Director of the Batten Institute.

Very comprehenive in an acedemic way.......2007-04-25

Very complete but not a "how to.." guide.
A great and thought provoking resource.
Should be on every investment banker book shelf

Very Difficult to Follow.......2007-03-19

I found the book to be very difficult to follow in that it seems to be written for graduate level courses on the subject, with very little practical application. The book provides a detailed literature review but it is a bit dated. There is nothing about the rise of private equity and hedge funds in recent years. The book would also benefit from the use of more examples. Its sheer size and number of chapters makes it a bit disjointed.

You should own this book..........2007-02-14

... if you have any interest in M&A. But your professors must have already told you so!

Simply the best text on M&A.......2007-01-27

After attending an executive program in mergers and acquisitions, I decided to purchase this book after reviewing a variety of books on the subject. I also own Arzac's book, but it is only applicable to valuation.

This book is simply the best text on M&A and it has served as a nice supplament to program that I attended. Between the program and reading this book, I now feel like I am an expert on the subject.

Arzac's book on valuation provides the final topping on the subject manner.

Nice Nice Book.......2006-04-10

very nice overview on MnA. Good introduction and provides references for those who wanna dig into specific topics.

However, this is a general overview for a wide range of MnA topics, you will not gain a specific expertise from this book.

For me, the most useful way of learning a topic like MnA is by actually looking at spreadsheets and exhibits instead of reading bunge of writings. This book has many nice exhibits/tables to demonstrate the calculations, so after the reading, I can look at the exhibits/spreadsheets to see if I understand how the numbers are calculated.

this should be the first read, arzac should be followed up to gain a more solid background in valuation.

No comments on the CDROM, I didn't buy it.
