Book Description

Effective Management Control deals with a critical but relatively neglected and misunderstood aspect of organizational effectiveness: the process of controlling the behavior of people in organizations. The issue of organizational control and the design of an optimal control system is essential for the long term effectiveness of an organization: too little control can lead to confusion and chaos; conversely, too great a degree of control can result in the erosion of innovation and entrepreneurship. This monograph presents a conceptual framework for approaching these issues, and examines the role accounting can play in a successful control system. The author works towards an understanding of the nature, role, elements and functioning of organizational control and control systems in organizations. The book posits and discusses the features of a core control system and its component parts, including: planning, measurement and feedback, evaluation and reward sub-systems. It also discusses the ways in which a core control system operates within a larger organizational structure and culture. The theory is illustrated through its application to a particular case study.

I got what I was looking for.......2006-11-03

Basically, I bought the book looking for a good and detailed classification of polluting agents, which I got.

Good structure, hard to find these days an actual book, all you get is a collection of papers from various authors, so for you, people, looking for a classical book, or even a lecture book, this is a right choice.

I gave just **** because five you get only after the third edition! ;)

Soil, Vadose Zone, and Ground-Water Contamination.......2003-04-19

I just use this book as a reference on occasion. I really don't like how it is setup or formatted. It does not contain an index which can make it a little difficult if you are trying to specifically find information. I generally go elsewhere if i need information quickly on vadose zone or contamination. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this unless you have had a chance to look at it in person and are sure that it has what you are interested in.

Book Description

Electron Transfer in Chemistry and Biology An Introduction to the Theory Alexander M. Kuznetsov Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Jens Ulstrup Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark Electron transfer is perhaps the single most important physical event in chemical, electrochemical, photochemical, biochemical, and biophysical processes. The focus and ubiquity of electron transfer is intriguing and exciting but a coherent and comprehensive approach to this topic is at the same time a challenge. Electron Transfer in Chemistry and Biology provides a thorough and didactic approach to the theoretical basis of electron transfer phenomena. Not only does it offer a full introduction to this area and a discussion of its historical development, it also gives detailed explanations of difficult issues, for example, long-range electron transfers, stochastic and dynamic processes, and biological features. A wide variety of readers will find this volume of great interest, ranging from final year undergraduate students, postgraduate students and university lecturers, to research staff in numerous fields including medical companies, electronics industry, catalysis research and development, chemical industry and some hospitals.

Book Description

This book will introduce to the United States the founding father of Brazil. He is one of the greatest statesman in world history, but he is unknown to the American public. He is the Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison and George Washington of Brazil embodied in one person. This book will cover some of the following subjects:

-- Learn why the country itself was Jos Bonifcio's legacy to future Brazilian generations. The legacy that he left us is "Brazil" itself, because without Jos Bonifcio in Brazilian history, "Brazil" the country in its current form would not exist today.

__ Learn how a document prepared by Jos Bonifcio de Andrada e Silva "Lembranas e Apontamentos do Gverno Provisrio de So Paulo" dated October 9, 1821, is considered the most important document in the history of Brazil. This document laid the foundations for the new nation.

-- Learn about the major impact that Jos Bonifcio had with his writings on the process of ending slavery in Brazil. His position paper on slavery (November 1823) had a major influence on all future legislation related to the slavery issue. Jos Bonifcio's grandson, Jos Bonifcio (The Younger), continued on his grandfather's fight to end slavery in Brazil. He did his fighting on the floor of the

Senate until his death in October 1886. Slavery ended in Brazil on May 13, 1888.

__ Learn about Jos Bonifcio's very important document regarding the Native Brazilian Indians; how his document served as the basis in 1845 (Imperial Brazil) and again in 1910 (now a republic), of information when they designed and organized the Service for the Protection of Native Indians.

-- Learn how the Andrada brothers (Jos Bonifcio, Martim Francisco and Antnio Carlos), with their leadership, had a major impact on the Constituent Assembly. And how they guided the proceedings of the process of framing the first Brazilian Constitution . This Constitution was effective December 13, 1823, with the swearing-in ceremony on March 25, 1824.

-- You will also learn why Brazil, based on economic reasons, should consider applying for membership in the European Union, and why Brazil should adopt, as soon as possible, the "Euro" as its new currency.

The book documents the reasons why Jos Bonifcio de Andrada e Silva's name will be immortalized by history. His name will be included on an exclusive list of immortal leaders. He will be recognized as one of the "Greatest Statesman" in world history.

Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva.......2000-06-24

Great book regarding Brazilian history. The book includes information which is not found in any other history books in the English language. Unless you can read books in Portuguese, otherwise most of the information in this book it will be new information to you.

Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva.......2000-06-20

If you are interested in history this is a great book about Brazil and Brazilian independence. I learned some fascinanting information regarding Jose Bonifacio and his participation on Brazilian independence. The book also introduced me one of the major players which had a major impact in ending the institution of slavery in the Americas. Jose Bonifacio wanted major agrariam reform in Brazil in 1822. His name come to mind with the current "Landless People" problem in Brazil. This is a book which was missing from the American literature landscape.

Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva.......2000-06-17

I enjoyed reading this book. It contained new information about Brazilian independence and the man who brought it about. I am glad I read this book to receive new information about one of the largest countries in the Americas. I was surprised to find out that Jose Bonifacio was one of the most important figures in history in the fight to end slavery in the Americas.
