Creative Financial Accounting: Its Nature and Use

Book Description

"As a slice of history, docudrama and how-to manual, Sizing Down is top-notch. Illes was human resources manager at the Signetics semiconductor plant in Orem, Utah, when, in January 1992, she was notified that the plant would close at the end of the year. It became her task to assist with orchestrating the phase-out of 900 jobs, including her own. . . . Throughout the inevitable juggling of interests, judgments had to be made, some good, some bad, says the author. This relentlessly objective history records them all, along with afterthoughts on how the situation might have been handled better."--Publishers Weekly

A PERFECT GIFT FOR THE SPORTS FAN.......2006-02-21

I should know, I own it!!! I have grabbed these books since 1998, and they are superb. The only thing I do not like about the ESPN Sports Almanac, is that sometimes, there is a misprint, but it is rare. This is a superb book for anyone who wants to know the all time and previous year records in baseball, football, hockey, nascar racing, formula racing, golf, tennis, and basketball. But these sports are not the only ones covered in this extra thick publication. You will get info on Olympic sports including gymnastics, bobsledding, skiing, track & field, etc. The book covers the previous year in sports headlines, It has tons of information on off the wall sports like badminton and rugby, and it comes from the favorite sports people of America, ESPN. Enough said!!!

This is it! Statistics are the mother's milk of sports.......2006-02-09

And here it all is, in one handy, well organized alamanac. Football, Baseball, Basketball, Racing and more!

I think this is a slightly better almanac than the one issued by Sports Illustrated, as ESPN has become the definitive source for sports and stats.

No need to call the guys who know it all - all the facts are right there with your book, right at your fingertips.

Book Description

The first comprehensive guide to the Ozarks, including Branson.

The Ozarks is fast becoming the destination of choice for music lovers looking for old-time bluegrass jams or the bright lights of Branson; culture mavens who hew towards hog-calling contests or classical-piano concerts; foodies seeking tin-roofed rib shacks or 5-star cuisine; and outdoors enthusiasts seeking lazy rivers, rolling hills, sparkling lakes, and wildlife galore. This is the first in-depth, native's-eye-guide to a region that sprawls across Missouri and Arkansas, and will lead readers to the best—and strangest—of the Ozarks, with anecdotes, lore, and historical trivia to flavor the trip.

This guide includes hundreds of opinionated listings of inns, B&Bs, resorts, motels, cabins, and campgrounds. A multitude of dining recommendations span the spectrum of taste and budget. 12 maps, 100 black & white photographs, index.

Best darned Ozarks Guidebook There Is!.......2006-11-11

The best-darned guidebook to the fabled area, The Ozarks, provides dozens of reasons to take a pass on Miami, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, and visit some of the most authentic places in the nation. Ron Marr has written a wonderfully entertaining guide that's filled with tons of advice on what to see, what to do, where to stay, where to eat, the best places to shop and the special events of the area. Branson, Missouri, has made the Ozarks the destination of choice for countless people, but Marr tells you all about the other great places that can be found across Missouri and Arkansas, and as he does you will find yourself laughing out loud and planning your next trip there.

Book Description

In May 2004 the European Union will undergo the largest expansion in its history when ten countries--Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia--become members. The number of new members and their diversity make this "big bang" enlargement particularly challenging. Not only do these countries vary widely in language, culture, and geography, but also their per capita income is less than half that of existing members. EU officials believe that expanded integration will serve the EU's objectives of peace, stability, prosperity, and democracy; but the less abstract questions of costs and benefits of enlargement are more complex.

Each of the chapters in this CESifo volume addresses a different aspect of EU expansion. The contributors, all leading international practitioners and scholars, consider such topics as the effect of euro zone expansion on European Central Bank monetary policy making; using the euro as an external anchor for a national currency; worker migration and income differentials; the Swiss experience with immigration policy in a direct democracy framework; detailed sector analysis using a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy; investment and job creation and destruction in incumbent member countries; and the asymmetric effects of enlargement on high- and low-income incumbent countries. Taken together, the chapters provide useful guidance in shaping the EU policies of the future.

Book Description

In ten to fifteen years, the European Union could include as many as 25 to 30 member states. In view of such an enlarged Union, a definition of the essential interests regarding foreign and security policy is required, as well as a reform of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Otherwise, the European Union will be unable to effectively tackle the increasing regional and global problems, and as a result of the Union's irresolution, the security of its member states may be impaired.

Taking into account the enlargement of the EU with the inclusion of Finland, Austria, and Sweden, the contributors to this book examine the changes taking place in central and eastern Europe, the increasing importance of a broader definition of security, as well as various scenarios for the structure of Europe's security and defense policies. Proposals for future reform of the CFSP are also developed.

Great Book!.......2006-03-13

This is a terrific book. I purchased it with the companion book on Animals. It is a "must have" for anyone interested in art, biology, or just a good coffee table book. It will keep youngsters quiet for hours with the facinating illustrations. Very high quality. You just can't beat the price either. I highly recommend it. You, too, can be botanically correct!
