Environmental Management Accounting - Purpose and Progress (Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science)

Book Description

This is the second book of selected papers on environmental management accounting (EMA) which has been developed for Kluwer by the Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-Eu), drawn primarily from papers presented at EMAN-Eu, to bring together several examples of leading thinking and practice internationally in this rapidly developing area. The authors include academics, practitioners from industry, and government policy-makers, and the subjects covered range from individual company experiences to the role of government in promoting EMA in industry. The papers included in the book provide several examples of how EMA can be applied in practice both in large corporations and in small and medium-sized enterprises, and of reports on the extent of the implementation of EMA and the conditions which encourage this.

The book is intended for all those interested in EMA as either researchers or practitioners. It will also be of interest both to those interested in how well-established management accounting methods can be adapted and extended in order to meet new demands on companies, and also to environmental managers interested in learning how accounting techniques can be of value in achieving environmental management objectives.

Book Description

It’s April 15 when T.J. Marino’s gambling woes lands her in debt to the IRS. She heads home from New Orleans to Tallula, Louisiana in hopes of finding solace in her parents’ warm Italian embrace. Not to mention in a few borrowed dollars from them. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of the small town’s yearly tax revolt, while becoming romantically involved with three unlikely suitors— one who is an old friend, another an undercover FBI agent and a third one, who is the grandson of Louisiana’s ‘retired’ Godfather. One year later, after a terrifying trip to the local ‘loony bin’ as well as a disastrous sea cruise and an unexpected, but thrilling loss of virginity, T.J. approaches April 15 with a sense that her life has finally calmed down. Until her wedding day. The people of Tallula are all there to witness the mayhem. L.L. Lee’s first book, How to Survive Menopause Without Going Crazy, was published in 1998. Taxing Tallulah is her first novel. She is currently writing another humorous novel that also involves her native Louisiana. Ms. Lee is a registered nurse with degrees in psychology & English.

A FUN, UPLIFTING BOOK!.......2003-01-18

Taxing Tallula is a very entertaining book! T.J. Marino has many problems, and they all need to be dealt with NOW! A gambling habit she's trying to break. Three marriage proposals. A Mafia connection. What's a girl to do?

L.L. Lee does a marvelous job of weaving all of these aspects, along with the idiosyncrasies of small town life, into a believable, funny, enjoyable book.

I consider all of L.L. Lee's books in the "must read" category.

Louisiana: as wonderfully bizarre as I remember it!.......2001-03-03

L.L. Lee's first novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys fast-paced farcical literature with an emphasis on eccentric characters. But it will especially appeal to anyone with small-town experiences. Having lived most of my childhood in Louisiana, I must say that Lee's Louisiana reflects the real one in the funniest and most bizarre ways. But gambling problems, the mob, and crooked politicians in the Pelican State? Can I believe all of that? Well, actually, yes.

One scene in particular epitomizes Lee's comic skills. When a hard-at-hearing man happens into the middle of a poorly timed break-up of two lovers, his attempt at comprehending the words somehow turns into a threat that causes him to leave all his money and take off running!

The main character, T.J. Marino, is a special treat who will stay in the minds of readers, even after they forget the details of the plot. Marino is one of those offbeat, lovable characters who manages to put herself into every bad situation possible! However, you can put yourself into a good situation by reading this delightful book!

Taxing Tallula is Tremendous!.......2000-05-31

I just finished Taxing Tallula and really had a few belly laughs.I identified with several of the characters and the abundant "Comfortable in Chaos" that many of them shared.The characters were "Real" and many I have met before.The authorwas able to paint a picture in words in many instances such as the holiday sights and scenes and the environmental amviance that goes with such.It would be interesting to see a sequel to this story to find out how T.J. manages or unmanages the rest of her life.

What will happen next?.......2000-05-11

Taxing Tallula was an excellent story entwining tax day emotions of a small town with the twists and turns of T.J. Marino's life. The various supporting characters are enchanting. Whether you're from the South or not, this book was a riveting read. It simultaneously keeps you in suspense and makes you laugh. I can't wait for more books from this wonderful writer!

Treat for the Taxpayer!.......2000-05-01

Taxing Tallula is a delightful story which keeps the readerguessing and entertained through the events surrounding taxday....T.J. Marino is an interesting character who, combined with the delightful writing talents of L.L. Lee, makes us look forward to many more books by this new author.

Book Description

On the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 Russia's Baltic Fleet was sent to the aid of embattled troops in Russia's Chinese enclaves. The two fleets met at Tsushima on May 27, 1905.Most thought the Russians would have little trouble defeating Japanese naval forces. What followed was perhaps the greatest naval victory of all time. The acclaimed author of The Bounty has written another gripping tale of the sea.

The loss of the Russian fleet in the Straits of Korea........2005-09-12

This is the third book I have read written by Richard Hough. They are all good books, and Hough has a way with describing naval battles. In this book, he describes how the Russian Admiralty collected four good battleships and a motley collection of other ships to lead into the battle with the Japanese. This 10,000 mile journey across half of the world ended in defeat at Tushuma (Donkey's Ears). Hough describes how the failure of the Admiralty, the ship's crews, and the Admiral resulted in one of the most stunning defeats in naval history. There is plenty of blame to go around. Several thousand Russian sailors died as a result.
I agree with some of the other reviewers that more of the writing should have been devoted to the actual battle. In itself, the travel of the Second Pacific fleet was also a naval accomplishment. For a latter and more detailed book of the battle, see The Tsar's Last Armada.

Still Interesting but Dated.......2002-08-15

The Fleet That Had to Die, written in 1957, is a dated but still interesting account of the epic voyage of the Russian Baltic Fleet around the world in 1904-1905 until its destruction at the Battle of Tsushima. The author's style was intended for mass-market audiences not scholars, and some readers may cringe at a comment in the foreword that, "this book is not primarily concerned with history..." Furthermore, the author's introduction to the second edition includes a ridiculous statement that, "the Soviet Navy today [May 1975] has become the most powerful in the world..." which was false when written and appears laughable now. This book is best read in tandem with the recent Russian account, The Tsar's Last Armada, by Constantine Pleshakov.

The book consists of 12 short chapters, four appendices, 14 photographs and several sketch maps. Oddly, the author does not provide an order of battle for either side at the Battle of Tsushima. Although the author is impressed by the 18,000-mile voyage of the Russian fleet - calling it "one of the most remarkable voyages in maritime history" - there is a faint anti-Russian tone throughout these pages and even the title suggests a tragic inevitability. At one point, Hough commits overkill by referring to the fleet as, "a raw squadron that could scarcely maintain station in a flat calm on a steady course." Readers should remember that Britain was incensed at the Russian Baltic Fleet after the "Dogger Bank incident" where the Russian warships mistakenly fired on part of the Hull fishing fleet. Some of the lingering anti-Russian bias intrudes into Hough's account.

One area that Hough's account excels is in his discussion of the Russian battleships, their crews and the logistics of the voyage. The Russian Baltic Fleet was centered upon the four new battleships of the "Borodino" class, but these were poorly designed vessels. Modern fire control equipment was only installed at the last minute and the gun crews were never allowed to practice with it and live ammunition before Tsushima, which no doubt contributed to the abysmal Russian gunnery. Furthermore, the battleships were so top heavy that captains were ordered to, "avoid hoisting all but essential signals from the yards." Vice-Admiral Rozhestvensky, the fleet commander, exacerbated the problem by over-loading the battleships with coal and this made the ships slow and unwieldy in battle. However, in constantly referring to the battleships as "ironclads," Hough is both inaccurate and tedious (since the fleet included no wooden vessels, all ships were made of steel).

Hough does shed some interesting light on the Dogger Bank incident. Both before and after that senseless incident, Russian spotters reported sighting "enemy balloons" and other nonsensical items. Apparently, not only were the average Russian sailors totally untrained in observation at sea, but also their gullible officers seemed inclined to accept all sightings at face value. During the Dogger Bank incident, Hough notes that the Russian flagship at one point was firing on a British fishing boat only 100 yards away and continued to misidentify it as a Japanese torpedo boat! Essentially, the incident was a result of inadequate Russian training and paranoia.

The character of Rozhestvensky is addressed at length in Hough's account, but not as well as Pleshakov's newer account (Hough misses the presence of the admiral's mistress on the fleet hospital ship). During the long, tiring voyage, Hough notes that whenever delays or problems occurred that Rozhestvensky "always responded to this sort of frustration by fits of uncontrollable rage..." which is not an effective command style. As the crews suffered from declining morale, Rozhestvensky became sullen and withdrawn, refusing to divulge his plans to his subordinates. At the Battle of Tsushima, Hough notes that Rozhestvensky issued only two orders and that these lead to confusion and chaos in the Russian fleet. Lacking a real plan of battle, Rozhestvensky's approach to the battle appears fatalistic and reliant on luck rather than skill. Instead, Hough concludes that, "the Battle of Tsushima...was to be lost by the momentary hesitancy of a tired and wasted admiral who could not make up his mind..."

In one of the appendices, Hough includes the post-war account of Rear-Admiral Nebogatoff, who was the Russian second-in-command at Tsushima. Although Nebogatoff's account is very self-serving and designed to cover up his own misdeeds in the battle, he does make some valid points. According to Nebogatoff, the Russian defeat was primarily due to three factors: the deficiencies of the Russian warships and their crews, the poor leadership of Rozhestvensky and the choice of the route through Tsushima Straits. In particular, Nebogatoff criticizes Rozhestvensky's lack of pre-battle instructions and poor tactical handling of the fleet. Nebogatoff also asserts that if he had been asked his opinion, that he would have recommended a passage to Vladivostok through the safer La Perousse Strait. While Nebogatoff ignores the logistic dimension of this longer route, he is probably correct that more Russian ships might have made it to Vladivostok by this more circuitous, but less well-guarded, route. However given the fall of Port Arthur prior to the fleet's arrival in Pacific waters, it is unlikely that Rozhestvensky's poorly-trained armada could have reversed Russia's disastrous military situation even if more of it had reached Vladivostok.

Ballantine Version Used to Be 50 Cents.......2002-02-15

I can only tell you of the old Ballantine version of this book, a trade paper version of the first edition. A look at the table of contents ot this present edition tells me that this is a modified version. I do not expect that the central text has changed much, but there is additional material here. This is the story of the Russian Baltic Fleet's incredible odessey to the Far East to relieve Port Arthur, and its ultimate destruction at the hands of the Japanese under admiral Togo at Tsushima. The journey of the fleet was an incredible achievement in the days when ships had to transfer coal by hand. The facts that the hostile British did not allow coal to be loaded at their stations and that the Russians had to carry out back breaking coaling at sea (an unheard of practice) from chartered ships or in French ports where the local authorities would turn a blind eye (this was the period in which the British and French hammered out the Entente; so, all French help to their European ally had to be unofficial) make the Russians' efforts to reach the East seem super human. Hough did a fine job with this story in the first edition, as any who know his work would expect. This edition with its added appendicies must be even more authoritative. The Russo-Japanese war has meager coverage in English; so, this book is something of a must have.

The Perfect Naval Epic.......2001-12-20

The veteran naval writer Richard Hough made his name with this 1958 tale of the doomed Russian Second and Third Squadrons, destined to face oblivion at the battle of Tsushima (named after the small island between Japan and Korea whose name translates literally as "Donkey's Ears"). In a narrative style that would do justice to Joseph Conrad, Hough tracks the steady progress of the fleet through the Baltic, the North Sea (where, in firing upon the Dogger Bank fishing fleet, the Squadron almost began a war with Britain), to the West Coast of Africa, Mauritius, the Straits, Vietnam (Cam Ranh Bay) and finally the fateful Korea Straits. The astounding thing in this story was the fleet's sheer achievement in getting to the North Pacific: its voyage set new distance records, its unique at-sea coal refueling was revolutionary and the fleet's arrival at Singapore created an absolute sensation in admiralty circles. Hough also gives a graphic account of the terrible moment of truth, when Admiral Togo opens fire. Sterling stuff.

"Younger scholars have much to gain by their encoutner with these brilliant essays especially where the authors generously gesture precisely to those lacunae in excisting scholarship that may prove to be the foundations of future careers."
—Midwest Jewish Studies Association- Shofar Book Reviews

Sephardic Jews trace their origins to Spain and Portugal. They enjoyed a renaissance in these lands until their expulsion from Spain in 1492, when they settled in the countries along the Mediterranean, throughout the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans, and in the lands of North Africa, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, mixing with the Mizrahi, or Oriental, Jews already in these locations. Sephardic Jews have contributed some of the most important Jewish philosophers, poets, biblical commentators, Talmudic and Halachic scholars, and scientists, and have had a significant impact on the development of Jewish mysticism.

Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry brings together original work from the world's leading scholars to present a deep introductory overview of their history and culture over the past 1500 years. The book presents an overarching chronological and thematic survey of topics ranging from the origin of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry and their history to kabbalah, philosophy, and biblical commentary, and Sephardic Jewish life in the modern era. This collection represents the most up-to-date scholarship about Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry available.

Contributors include: Mark R. Cohen, Norman Stillman, David Bunis, Jonathan Decter, Yitzhak Kalimi, Moshe Idel, Annette B. Fromm, Zvi Zohar, Morris Fairstein, Pamela Dorn Sezgin, Mark Kligman, and Henry Abramson.

Outstanding Survey of Sephardic/Oriental Jewry.......2005-11-02

The reviewer is a teacher.
This is a fantastic, interesting, and very readable overview of all the important aspects of Sephardic and Oriental Jewry--origins, language, history, culture, contributions to the Jewish and non-Jewish world, etc... Very accessible for the layperson and yet sophisticated enough for the scholar. Clears up what exactly are the 3 main ethnic groups within the Jewish people and how they came about. The introductory essay gives an excellent overview of each chapter and its highlights. The final chapter by the editor proposes a new and very challenging theory as to why Jews from Arab lands experienced discrimination upon making aliyah (coming to live) in Israel. This is THE book you want if you are looking for the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of this subject. A pleasure to read!!!

Book Description

Here, in a single volume, is the first comprehensive history in English of the Sephardim—descendants of the Jews expelled from Spain in 1492. Paloma Díaz-Mas recounts the journey and customs of this fascinating group as they moved across the globe. They settled initially in Mediterranean Europe, the Low Countries, North Africa, and the Turkish Empire, but in the nineteenth century, a second diaspora brought the Sephardim to the United States, South America, Israel, and Western Europe. She traces the origins and survival of their unique language and explores the literature they produced. Their relationship to Spain is also uncovered, as well as their everyday lives. Sephardim is an authoritative and completely accessible investigation of the history and legacy of this amazing people.

Excellent history of the Sephardic Jews.......2003-10-09

Because most of the Jews in the USA today are Ashkenazim (descended from the Jews of Eastern Europe), I knew very little about the Sephardic Jews until I read this book many years ago. Since then, I have learned that the FIRST Jews to arrive in the Americas were Sephardic, many of them fleeing the Spanish Inquisition.

"The Road from Babylon" traces the history of the Sephardim from the Babylonian Captivity (hence the title) to the present day (or at least to 1985, when this book was published.) According to the text, "Sephardic" orignally referred to the Jews who fled Spain in 1492, but is now applied to "Jews whose ancestors lived in the Balkans, Asia Minor, North Africa, and all round the Mediterranean in the Near and Middle East." (P.1) We should also note that the majority of Jews in Israel today are Sephardim, descended from Jews who fled persecution in the Arab countries after Israel was founded in 1948. (121,000 left Iraq in 1951 -- see p. 231.)

In terms of format, the book is well-written and researched, and includes two sections of B&W photos, showing Sephardic communities, synagogues, and traditional dress down through the centuries.

ASIN: 0321058496

Book Description

This volume focuses on the geology, land use history, palaeoecology, ecology and conservation of peatlands (fens and bogs) in The Netherlands. The volume provides detailed accounts that, together, give a representative picture of the studies that have been carried out in the Dutch mires over the past 25 years.
Contents: Chapter 1: Verhoeven -- Introduction. Chapter 2: Pons -- is a comprehensive geographic and pedological account of peat formation in space and time in the western coastal plain. Chapter 3: Casparia and Streefkerk -- is a detailed description of the various stages of development from fen to bog of the Bourtanger Moor. Chapter 4: Borger and Stol -- details the history of peat draining, digging and dredging in The Netherlands and Flanders. Chapter 5: Barkman -- deals with bog remnants in the eastern Netherlands and northwestern Germany. This chapter also includes data on oligotrophic heath pools which have a vegetation that is similar to that found in bogs. Chapters 6: Den Held; 7: Van Wirdum et al.; 8: Koerselman and Verhoeven -- are chapters on vegetation, synecology and nutrient dynamics of fens and chapter 9: Wiegers -- focuses mainly on terrestrializing fens that are so characteristic of the western Netherlands where they presently occur in turf ponds created by peat dredging in former centuries. Chapter 10: Vermeer and Joosten -- concludes the volume with a treatment of problems with mire conservation and management.
