        Book Description

        Human resource management performs a different function and operates very differently in Asia than it does in the US and Europe. This volume demonstrates how human resource management is enacted in Asian countries, how it is changing in response to recent economic events, and how firms are linking indigenous and external human resource management learning. Examples are taken from firms in Japan, China, Korea and Thailand. Contributors with perspectives from both the East and the West show how multinational firms can incorporate Asian thinking and acting into a modern business strategy for successful human resource development in international ventures.

                      Book Description

                      The petroleum, natural gas, and the chemical & petrochemical process industries, variously require the separation of mixtures -- whether of raw feedstream materials, reactants, intermediates, or products -- as comprising gases, liquids, or solutions. Membrane separations add another weapon to the arsenal of separation methods, including the upgrading of subquality natural gas reserves. This book furnishes the necessary derivations and calculations for numerically predicting the separations that can be obtained, based on the known respective membrane permeabilities of the pure components. A verstile text, Membrane Separations Technology is suitable both as a reference and a textbook for the practicing process engineer, the researcher, and chemical & petrochemical engineering faculty and students.

                      Has cutting-edge scientific methods for liquifying and transporting natural gas.

                      Written for the engineer in the field, for easy access to important information.

                      Also contains problems and solutions for the student and professor in chemical engineering departments.

                        Book Description

                        Over the past 20 years, the emergence of clone theory, hyperequational theory, commutator theory and tame congruence theory has led to a growth of universal algebra both in richness and in applications, especially in computer science. Yet most of the classic books on the subject are long out of print and, to date, no other book has integrated these theories with the long-established work that supports them. Universal Algebra and Applications in Theoretical Computer Science introduces the basic concepts of universal algebra and surveys some of the newer developments in the field. The first half of the book provides a solid grounding in the core material. A leisurely pace, careful exposition, numerous examples, and exercises combine to form an introduction to the subject ideal for beginning graduate students or researchers from other areas. The second half of the book focuses on applications in theoretical computer science and advanced topics, including Mal'cev conditions, tame congruence theory, clones, and commutators. The impact of the advances in universal algebra on computer science is just beginning to be realized, and the field will undoubtedly continue to grow and mature. Universal Algebra and Applications in Theoretical Computer Science forms an outstanding text and offers a unique opportunity to build the foundation needed for further developments in its theory and in its computer science applications.

                            In the hallway, during a break in trial, the famed defense attorney spoke to the Postal Inspector.
                            "You're a helluva investigator."
                            And the Inspector said, "What do you mean?"
                            "That interview you did with Frank," the lawyer said.
                            Recalling the hours he had spent questioning the attorney's client, the Inspector asked, "What did I leave out?"
                            As he turned to enter the courtroom, to stand beside his client and face the judge, the lawyer sighed, "Absolutely nothing!"

                            In Moments in Time, Bill Phinazee and Larry Weaver tell what it's like to be a United States Postal Inspector. Some of their stories are uncomplicated, some are complex, and others are amusing, poignant or chilling. All are entertaining. They tell why a Postal Inspector is respected by his or her peers, feared by law breakers, and known by both as a "helluva investigator" whose investigations leave out absolutely nothing.

                            5 out of 5 stars Moments in Time, The True Story of the Postal Inspectors........2007-09-21

                            Moments in Time: True Stories of the United States Postal InspectorsThe stories were both attention getting and informative. I truly enjoyed the book and wish there were more stories of this group who very few people know. You get your mail everyday and once in a while you go to the post office, but not once do you consider that the post office is a target for robbers. Great Book!!!

                                Red Steagall's weekly radio program, Cowboy Corner, has been on the air for more than ten years and is carried on 175 radio stations across the country.

                                A major feature of each show is Red's interview with his guest that week. They talk about the West, about cowboys, about horses, about history. It is always a conversation between friends who share mutual interests and mutual acquaintances, and in the course of these conversations the listener learns about Western heritage, Western traditions, and Western values.

                                With the assistance of editor Loretta Fulton, Red has compiled the conversations with twenty-one of his friends into a unique book that captures the flavor of the Western way of life.

                                Included are interviews with notable Western figures Roy Rogers, Rex Allen, Reba McEntire, Richard Farnsworth, Jim Shoulders, Roy Clark, John Justin, Elmer Kelton, Wilford Brimley, Joaquin Jackson, Buck Taylor, and many more. Their stories about early days in movies, ranching, law enforcement, music, writing, and other endeavors create an important oral history of life in the West.

                                the sort of book you find yourself reading out loud to your friends. funny and twisted, yet literate: lets that inner punk rocker out even if you're wearing librarian glasses. worth reading, worth keeping--and worth sharing. if you have a reluctant reader you're trying to coax, this is the book to win them over to the good guys.

                                5 out of 5 stars Dark and Rich.......2005-07-14

                                I was recommended this book by a close friend after having read and enjoyed "Motherless Brooklyn". At first I couldn't see why. There seemed to be little similarity other that a few simple plot points and broad character traits. I quickly found that while these two novels rely on many of the same tools the end products are remarkably different. Each one is immensely engaging read in its own right but "Guarding Hanna" is easily the meatier of the two. I found myself deeply immersed in its world rather than simply caught by the plot. I loved it!

                                5 out of 5 stars Excellent stuff.......2003-06-05

                                It's a very interesting story. What happens when a deformed loner is assigned to guard a woman for a week before she's due to testify in court? He moves into her apartment to protect her, and the ensuing eight days bring a lot of surprises and drama. Mazzini has some dead-on insights about modern urban life and how it distorts our capacity to understand each other. Better yet, he tells his story well, with humor, an intriguing plot, two strange and curious main characters, and an exciting conclusion. The book's a mix of detective story, psychological drama, and crime novel.

                                5 out of 5 stars I want a turn Guarding Hanna.......2003-05-28

                                Guarding Hanna is an allegory of the relationship between the sexes. Men are dogs and women are fawns. Men crave hamburgers and women get a warm glow from a cup of herbal tea. Put the two extremes together, and the tension can cause both sides to bloom. It's funny and painful and extremely smart. I want a turn Guarding Hanna. It might be the only relief from the tyranny of the industrial world of single men and women living out their lives alone, in tiny apartments, in cities like Berlin.

                                5 out of 5 stars Guarding your own emotions.......2003-01-10

                                (This was written by a 40 year old reader)
                                Rarely have I come across a recommended book that having read it I think about incessently afterwards. The main character of Guarding Hanna, a kind of anti/hero, certainly has few redeeming qualities. He was brought up in a home for delinquents, facially deformed and a constant curiosity to insensitive eyes. Rescued from the orphanage by a petty gang leader called Maestro he subsequently enters his service. When he is latter given the task of guarding a witness to a crime for a week it seems to present our hero with such an awesome challenge. Being a loner, whose previous experience with women had only been with prostitutes, he now must learn to accomodate the simple needs of another person until it becomes no longer clear who is actually guarding or helping who. Through their relationship the reader comes to realise that even though life has dealt our hero such a bad hand there is a real sense of humanity that is struggling to break through the prejudices of his peers, and perhaps that is something that every reader might empathise with and which is why the climax of the novel left such a profound effect on me. It was so unexpected. Perhaps my out pouring of emotions was just from a sense of release from the accumulated tensions. The novel is written in such a way that it holds your attention with every page. Ever entry, told from our heros point of view like a diary, is given a time. One is therefore very much aware that our heros assignment is drawing to a conclussion and that something unexpected must surely happen. When it finally comes there is nothing predictable about it, which makes it all the more shocking, and as I turned the last page I really felt that for a second the world had stopped turning and that nothing would be the same again. Read this book, suspend your prejudices and leave your emotions unguarded, it will be all the more rewarding.

                                  This book by one of the most distinguished historians of Italy is the first modern biography in English of Giuseppe Mazzini, one of the leading figures in the political and intellectual world of the mid-nineteenth-century. Denis Mack Smith reexamines Mazzini`s ideological impact and portrays him as a vigorous proponent of nationalism, the pre-eminent figure in the struggle for Italian independence and unity, and a fascinating personality, whose ideas brought him into contact with Marx, Carlyle, Mill, and Bakunin.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Right up to Mack Smith's usual high standards.......1999-06-04

                                  This is a biography at once fascinating and charming: a source of fascination because one cannot help marvel at Mazzini's dogged refusal to give up hope of creating a brave new world in Italy, and charming because Mack Smith brings out the tension between Mazzini the somewhat desperate revolutionary in exile and Mazzini the courteous and likeable private individual. Of the three great men who created the Italian nation-state, Mazzini was both more honourable and less cynical than Cavour, and more humane and less hot-headed than Garibaldi. The contempt in which the new state held him after 1861 was little short of disgraceful, but this biography - well up to the standards of Mack Smith's other works on modern Italy - does a great deal to restore his reputation. If only Italy had had a Mazzini in the latter half of the 20th century.

                                                A real-life story of gripping intensity. Is there an underworld inside the FBI? Can an honest, hard-working police officer be defamed by corruption within law enforcement? The answer to these and many questions can be found in "The Hero Who Never Was" - A Mother's Account of the Life and Death of a Son. This tragic story reveals how local law enforcement agencies intentionally set out to destroy the life of Paul Alsbury, a San Antonio police officer. When Paul first discovered corruption and illegal drug activities within his own department, he turned to the FBI for help. Later he realized that his decision to "do the right thing" would destroy his life, setting the stage for a downward spiral of pain, deception, and betrayal that ends in death and dishonor. Ruby Alsbury offers poignant details of this bizarre tale which include letters, news clippings, and pages from her son's personal journal. Written in a candid, straightforward style, she sends a clear warning about the criminal activities of the FBI and the denial of Constitutional rights within our court system. This nightmare of injustice is guaranteed to incite readers to demand justice for a "wronged" hero.
