Book Description

The primary goal of Guide to Global Compensation and Benefits is to provide practitioners with the tools needed to design and manage global compensation and benefits programs and to provide advice on how to use those tools within the context of sound corporate strategies. The Guide is divided into five sections and three appendixes. Section 1, an overview of the field of global compensation and benefits introduces the reader to the evolving remuneration challenges faced by corporate practitioners as their companies grow from purely domestic organizations to global corporations.

Section 2 examines expatriate compensation strategies and practices. Because of the inherent complexity of the subject and the small numbers of employees involved (less than 2% of the overseas workforces of North American and European corporations), there has been a tradition of surveying the practices of other companies and adopting a majority position with the hope that this represents best practice. Indeed, this section includes the results of several surveys and suggests other similar sources of information. The intent of this section, however, is to describe the many options that have been developed for compensating expatriates and to guide readers to the approach or combination that best meets their objectives, demographics, dynamics, and needs. It includes extensive "how to" material and a thorough discussion of expatriate taxation.

Section 3 covers government social security programs and corporate employee benefit programs worldwide. A well-known consultant and a leading corporate benefits executive describe significant differences in government programs around the world and recommend approaches to satisfy the complex legal and financial reporting requirements of both headquarters and foreign governments and other agencies. They describe how to design corporate benefits programs to meet the varying requirements of different countries.

Section 4 divides the world into nine major regions and countries. Specialists summarize compensation and benefits practices within each area, highlight major differences in practices within the area and compared with other regions, and provide guidance on additional sources of information and assistance.

Section 5 analyzes specific compensation challenges for motivating professionals in sales and research and development as their corporations globalize. A leading consultant assesses the impact of technology on the field. Finally, based largely on the foundation of the earlier chapters, a speculation about where the field is headed is provided.

Book Description

Sharply focused, up-to-date information on microbial biofertilizers—including emerging options such as Piriformospora indica and Matsutake

The Handbook of Microbial Biofertilizers provides in-depth coverage of all major microbial biofertilizers (Rhizobia, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi, and Cyanobacteria), as well as new and emerging growth promoters (endophytes). It examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, bioprotectors, and bioremidiators, and presents protocols and practical strategies for using microbes in sustainable agriculture. An abundance of helpful charts, tables, and figures make complex information easy to access and understand.

In this first-of-its-kind volume, contributors from 11 countries and several continents address important issues surrounding microbial biofertilizers, including:

the Rhizobium-host-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal tripartite relationship

Mycorrhiza as a disease suppresser and stress reducer

Mycorrhiza helping bacteria

the impact of functional groups of soil microorganisms on nutrient turnover

PBPRs as biofertilizers and biopesticides

the potential of wild-legume Rhizobia for use as a biofertilizers

the expanding role of blue-green algae in sustainable agriculture

the role of microbial fertilizers in sustainable plant production

new and emerging endophytes

the commercial potential of biofertilizers In this young century, the use of biofertilizers is already growing rapidly. It has been recognized that these environment-friendly bioprotectors, growth boosters, and remediators are essential for soil/plant health. The Handbook of Microbial Biofertilizers is designed to fit the expanding information needs of current and future biotechnologists, microbiologists, botanists, agronomists, environmentalists, and others whose work involves sustained agriculture.

Book Description

These are the proceedings of a workshop held at the European Southern Observatory in October 1996, a workshop which concentrated on optical detectors for astronomy. Representatives from every leading manufacturer and all of the major astronomical observatories came together to present their work on Charged Coupled Devices (CCDs). The papers contained in these proceedings are concerned with the development, manufacture, testing and implementation of CCDs. Many discuss the electronics (hardware and software) that are used to operate these detectors.
Astronomical observatories are the most ambitious and aggressive users of optical detectors, more so than any other scientific discipline. Since the quantum efficiency and noise of a detector have a direct effect on the quality of science, the makers of astronomical CCD systems continually push the `envelope' of optical detector technology. The papers contained in these proceedings provide the reader with state-of-the-art CCD technology and contain information on research and development efforts that will continue for several years.

Book Description

Biologically as well as culturally sophisticated and drawing on an impressive array of archaeological and paleontological research, the second edition of this book explores human adaptations to environments (biomes) over time. Campbell proceeds from earlier, simpler biomes to later, more complex ones, examining in their course selected aspects of the prehistory and history of the human species. Human Ecology is a widely adopted primary and supplementary text for the beginning student in courses in the social sciences tracing the natural history of humankind up to the earth's impending ecological crisis.

Its a good help.......2007-01-15

This book can be a good start for improving your surfing level.

Nice guide.......2007-01-05

This is a nice guide for a newbie, for the wanna be pro, and for the top pro. I recommend it, but it lacks some more fine explanation and guidance, in terms of what we eat, how much we sleep, etc... basic performance stuff. Also, it gives us a lot of workouts, witch is very good, but it's more fitted to a person who has 4 hours to work out everyday, not 1.

awsome hardcore surf book.......2005-07-21

if your learning how to surf and want to progress in this sport then you should chech this book out. full of many different kinds of workouts and it evens plans out workouts that fit your life style....a must have to your surf collection....

Right On!.......2003-09-04

Since I don't get to surf everyday, this book is exactly what I needed to stay in surfing shape. I have a number of other fitness related books, but none address surfing fitness. This book gave me exactly what I've been looking for. I've since given it to a number of friends and they have all told me how helpful they have found it as well.

This interesting, readable and important book gives the reader an insight into the sources and workings of power in a major advanced industrial state. It will be appreciated by students and researchers with an interestin European politics, political theory, and political economy. It will also be a good tool for policy-makers and professionals with an interest in Italian business, economics and politics.

Book Description

Five hundred years ago an Italian whose name, translated into English, meant Christopher Dove, came to America and began a process not of discovery, but incursion -- "a ruthless, angry search for wealth" that continues to the present day. This provocative and superbly written book gives a true assessment of Columbus's legacy while taking the first steps toward its redemption. Even as he draws a direct line between the atrocities of Spanish conquistadors and the ongoing pillage of our lands and waters, Barry Lopez challenges us to adopt an ethic that will make further depredations impossible. The Rediscovery of North America is a ringingly persuasive call for us, at long last, to make this country our home.

Customer Reviews:

Same old argument.......2004-09-15

When I was taking my Native American History class I discovered that there were two types of history. The first type dealt with Native Americans in a negative way the common steriotypes Native Americans were protrayed as dirty durnken and savage even in the modern average world.

The secound type is the opposite end of the spectrum Native Americans loved the land and were at peace with it. Than the big bad europians came along and killed them. But even in the modern day they carry on stoicly in the face of insermountable odds.

The truth is somewhere in between the two extremes and it is not hard to figure out into which of the two catogories this book falls. It pretends to be a serious historical approach but really is just prograganda. What happened to Native Americans was awful but people hhave been getting loads of crap dumped on them since the begining of time. Just because one group has been through a lot doesn't make them any better or noble than any of the rest of us.

Overall-I have a problem with the price 72 pages for 9 dollars?? Come on. I also think the book fails both as a historical work and as call to arms(its never quite sure which it is)

Get this book if this is your thing but do your research first.

Speaks to our times..........2003-02-07

As eloquent as it is insightful. Barry Lopez moves us to see and question. A true gift from writer to reader.

The Rediscovery of North America.......2001-01-12

Time is a precious commodity, and it is hard to find time to do all that must be done. But, the short time that is needed to read this book will be well worth spending.

Very poignant in today's world of rapid development.......1998-08-04

Extremely good prose. A poignant testimony to the loss of the Earth's resources in the face of historical and current development. Highly recommend adding this to your book collection if you have any affinity to the natural world.

Product Description

" Life on the Shoulder is about a journey on many levels. It is one that travels back through time, experiencing the places known and recorded in the pages of history and the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. It is also a journey through the current American west, an area of diverse environments, staggering beauty and powerful natural forces. The landscape also proved to be one of emotional hills and valleys, mountains of elation, pits of exhaustion, prairies of boredom, storms of fear, anger and frustration, and stunning sun flashes of inspiration. "It was a discovery of self and my connection with everything outside of my being. The spiritual lessons taught on this journey made me understand how narrow our scope of life can be, how much energy is wasted on worry, and how, at the moment when we feel we are most alone, we are truly in the company of our most trusted and dependable guides. As a great deal of time was spent literally riding "on the shoulder" of many roads and passing many sights, I, in turn, was passed by many other travelers, be they in cars, trains or logging trucks. The analogy to life became quickly apparent. By living a "life on the shoulder," one allows oneself to step back and permit life's events to unfold naturally, at their own pace, with acceptance and without force. While Lewis and Clark have been credited with exploring the western wilderness, I believe the exploration of the greatest wilderness lies just beneath the skin in the hearts and minds of us all."

Book Description

Europe's rediscovery of America was not, as in the days of Cabot and Columbus, a matter of navigation. It was an imaginative response to the American Revolution. Historians have argued that revolutionary events in America led to the fall of the Bastille, and point to an "Atlantic Revolution." Without taking sides in that long-running debate, this study seeks to show how the transatlantic experience colored the perceptions of some twenty Britons, Americans and Frenchmen whose careers spanned the Atlantic during the revolutionary period. The evidence of their writings and correspondence reveals that contemporaries wrote and acted as if they thought they were involved in an Atlantic Revolution.
