Accounting Issues and Credit Evaluation: A Special Collection from the Journal of Commercial Lending

Book Description

Increasingly in today's decentralized organizations, managers are taking on profit-and-loss responsibility. To motivate these profit center managers, corporations have tied bonuses and promotions to performance. But how well-structured are these rewards-for-results agreements? In the first comprehensive examination of the subject, Kenneth Merchant reveals the strengths and weaknesses of typical reward contracts. Drawn from extensive field research, Rewarding Results offers advice on how to improve the process for the benefit of both managers and their corporations.

Book Description

Learn how the climate can affect crop production!

Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture is a much-needed reference resource on the practice of merging the science of meteorology with the service of agriculture. Written in a concise, straightforward style, the book presents examples of clinical applications (methods, techniques, models, and services) in varying climates and agricultural systems, documenting up-to-date research literature from around the world. Its systematic approach—different from most books on the subject—makes it an essential tool for teaching, planning, and practical use by working farmers, as it examines topics such as solar radiation, effective rain, drought monitoring, evapotranspiration, and remote sensing.

Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture examines the developing discipline that international agencies such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have declared to be an important growth area in university education. A panel of academics, researchers, and practitioners explore the role of agrometeorology in optimum crop growth, from the interactions between meteorological and hydrological factors and agriculture, including horticulture, animal husbandry, and forestry. The book addresses pressing topics of agriculture resource utilization and management, such as regional and land use planning; soil and water conservation; frost; growing degree day; risk analysis of climate hazards; animal parasites; harvest forecasts; crop models; decision support systems (DSS); agroclimatological forecast; and the ecological and economic implications of climate change.

Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture also addresses:

managing farm water resources
environmental temperature
planning for frost mitigation
photosynthetically active radiation (PAR)

thermoperiodism
managing the extremes—droughts and floods
using computers to manage agricultural systems
and much more!

The interdisciplinary focus and reader-friendly style of Agrometeorology: Principles and Applications of Climate Studies in Agriculture make the book invaluable to scientists, planners, and academics working in the major agricultural sciences, geography, natural resource studies, and meteorology.

Nature Walks in Southern New Hampshire.......2000-05-22

As a Trail guide I think it definately needs more description of the trail and put trail names on the maps. It's nice to go by a map once you are on a trail, but these maps leave out a lot of important trail markers and was very hard to follow. Usually on any given trail there are a lot of loops you can take, nothing was specified on these maps. The description on what is on the trail is pretty nice, but using the maps turned out effortless. You need to concentrate more on the trail so people don't get lost.

Solid info.......2007-08-17

I recently read the book and I did learn some new things. However, the book really pushes a scentlok suit and I would adivse saving your money. These suits are costly and not necessary. Just go out and buy scent free detergent (basspro,cableas,wal-mart etc.) and the scent proof spray and you are good. We are talking a price difference of hundreds.

I wish the author had really gone into game cameras. If you really want to know what size of deer you are hunting and when and where they are at a camera is the best tool out there. Also, he didn't mention baiting much, but if it is legal in your state do this along with cameras and you stand a great chance of taking a good sized deer.

In conclusion, this is a good book and if you are new to hunting I would strongly recommend it.

Good Stuff.......2007-06-17

John Eberhart manages to take nice bucks year after year from one of the heaviest hunted and poorest manage states without having to pay anyone to hunt their land. this book is worth every minute of your time ,but if you only want to read one of John's books then make it "Precision Bowhunting" much the same info just laid out a bit nicer.

great book.......2007-03-31

Just as the name implies if you are bowhunting whitetails in pressured areas this book is one of the best. Theres something here for everyone but if you are a begining bowhunter this book is a must own. The author also has 3 DVDs on hunting pressured whitetails, they are the best instructional DVD's I have seen. I wish I would have had this book availabale when I started bowhunting.

This is real hunting!.......2006-11-02

So much of what I read is like a fairy tale. Sometimes it's even good enough to make me believe and then after a few hours or days in the real woods (no fences and lots of other hunters), reality sets in again. This book doesn't promise any instance success or give any sure kill secrets like "rattle and grunt every ten minutes"...every tried that one? This is real hunting. Get out there early, put the time in, and pay attention to the details. And there are a lot of details outlined in this book.

someone got it right.......2006-03-17

This was a great book. Finally someone got it right. not all of us hunt on ranches where deer never see humans and are feed. this book gives advice on how to hunt state lands and other populated areas around urban life. I would recommend you read this book if you want to see more deer in the woods this year .

Book Description

Sustainability is crucial for all institutions involved in international development. This book offers much-needed practical guidance on how to achieve it.

There are 3 main kinds of sustainability and a section of the book is devoted to each: 1. Making the impact of the organization's work sustainable. 2. Ensuring continuity of Funding. 3. Making the organization itself sustainable to remain viable. Achieving all three creates a virtuous spiral.

The book is distinctive in taking an organizational rather than technical or impact-based approach to sustainability. It is based on very extensive international research and offers many practical examples of sustainability and the difficult trade-offs involved
