Book Description
This handy reference book provides a concise guide to the style and format of financial reports in each of the world's major trading nations. It is written in understandable language, and has been compiled by professional accountants in all the countries included.
Book Description
Global human resources consulting firm Watson Wyatt has conducted a large body of research on 25 human capital management practices showing, for the first time, how these practices can raise or lower the stock price of a company and by how much. This research, cited in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Forbes, is the foundation of the Human Capital Edge, and brings a new level of financial measurement-based precision to the too-often fuzzy world of management books.
Customer Reviews:
One of the Best Books Ever Written on Strategic HR..........2003-06-21
The people at Watson Wyatt never stop amazing me. Recently, I purchased a copy of the Gallup Organization's "Follow This Path." Having read it, I was convinced that there was nothing left to say. Wrong. Pfau and Kay have written an amazing book that documents the correlation between Strategic HR practices and Shareholder Value growth. Well done. One reviewer complains that the book isn't comprehensive enough. I'm not sure this is a fair critisism. After all, the book details 21 HR practices and their impact on TSR (Total Shareholder Return). Certainly, one book cannot possibly provide a comprehensive treatment of all 21 HR practices. However, since when has any professional relied upon a single business book in any subject as their sole resource? This is a fantastic book. I strongly recommend that any senior executive (including CEO, COO, and board memebers) pick up a copy. I also recommend "Follow this Path," Gubman's "The Talent Solution," Risher's "Aligning Pay and Results," and Lawler's "Treat People Right." Overall grade: AAA+++
Finally!.......2002-06-15
Having been in human resources for 20 years, I can finally report, with confidence, HR's direct link to the bottom line. Too many executives still think it is "touchy-feely" and this fact-based information proves otherwise.
"The Human Capital Edge" shows the measurable value of implementing solid HR practices! Great stuff!!
Good numbers, weak advice.......2002-04-05
This book makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of evidence that human resources practices have a positive influence on business results. It gives solid numbers showing the relationship between 21 human capital practices and market value. It also provides evidence that these practices are a leading indicator of value creation. That's great stuff!
Then things fall apart quickly. The reason is because the authors over-reach by offering their suggestions for implementing the HR practices they identify as creating market value. That scope is simply much too large for a book of this size, resulting in shallow solutions. As an example, the authors show that "linking rewards to performance" is associated with a nine percent higher market value. They then share all of nine pages on how to implement pay-for-performance systems. That's hardly adequate, given there are a multitude of full-length books on that subject alone.
Some vexing findings are given short shrift, like the counterintuitive results that training and 360 degree feedback actually reduce market value. The authors waffle on the findings by suggesting the negative impact can be explained simply because these programs typically are ineffective. That kind of logic doesn't work since executing the other HR practices poorly would also have a negative impact on value creation.
In sum, this book does an excellent job demonstrating the relationship between human capital practices and market value. However, if you need help implementing those practices, you should look elsewhere.
Practical, readable and comprehensive.......2002-03-25
This book is the best overview available of the current state of the art in human resource management practices and their relationship to business results. It is one of the few books on this subject that will be appreciated by both the line manager as well as the human resource professional because it is readable, practical and business focused. It connects all the major HR trends in a critical but objective way to questions about their true impact and worth in driving "human capital".
An excellent, comprehensive source that you could give to your CEO!
a management must !.......2002-02-27
This work combines solid and proprietary research with practical advice for managers seeking to maximize the value of any company's most valuable asset-its workforce.In an age in which intellectual property has replaced hard assets as the coin of the business realm,the techniques developed by the authors for dealing with human capital issues are an invaluable aid to thouhtful senior managers everywhere.
Book Description
Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43
BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.

Book Description
This is the standard edition of John Locke's classic work of the early 1660s, Essays on the Law of Nature. Also included are selected shorter philosophical writings from the same decade. In his 1664 valedictory speech as Censor of Moral Philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford, Locke discusses the question: Can anyone by nature be happy in this life? The volume is completed by selections from Locke's manuscript journals, unpublished elsewhere: on translating Nicole's Essais de Morale; on spelling; on extension; on idolatry; on pleasure and pain; and on faith and reason. The great Locke scholar W. von Leyden introduces each of these works, setting them in their historical context. This volume is an invaluable source for Locke's early thought, of interest to philosophers, political theorists, jurists, theologians, and historians.

The primary goal of Translation Contract
Customer Reviews:
Sets a new standard for translation contracts!.......2005-07-16
With Translation Contract, Uwe Muegge has created a reference that protects both translators and their clients, and helps them communicate more effectively about translation projects. The model contract from the American Translators' Association is woefully inadequate, leaving more questions and holes than answers. Uwe has taken the whole process to the next level. His reference is a modular toolkit that anticipates every need of both translator and client. The various sections of the book include such diverse topics as: what is to be translated, how and when it will be delivered, what parts of the completed work may be retained by the translator, machine translation, data formats, and many others. The book also includes a glossary of common terms in the translation field, and an exhaustive list of international standards pertaining to translation.
Uwe's extensive background in the fields of translation, machine translation and technical writing shine through in every section--he addresses points that many wouldn't even think to cover until it's too late and they have a dispute on their hands. However, it is not a cumbersome text--the users simply pull out the sections they need, and fill in the blanks. No translator or consumer of translation services should be without this incredibly detailed tool.
Book Description
Galileo's trial in 1633 before the Roman Inquisition is one of the most frequently mentioned topics in the history of science. Galileo's encounter with the Catholic Church was not only a major turning point in the history of western culture; it is the paradigm case of the clash between the institutional authority of religion and the authority of scientific reason, a clash that has helped to define the modern era.
Blackwell's new contribution to "the Galileo affair" concerns the official theological position against Galileo. The centerpiece of his project is the treatise entitled Tractatus syllepticus, written by Melchior Inchofer, S.J., whose judgment of the orthodoxy of Galileo's Dialogue had been requested earlier by the Holy Office and was then incorporated into the proceedings of the trial. At the time, Inchofer's judgment against Galileo's book was both detailed and harsh. That judgment formed the basis for Inchofer's subsequent Tractatus, the first English translation of which is included in this volume. Inchofer's text provides a new and fascinating way of looking at the defense of the guilty verdict. Blackwell's analysis of this material greatly enriches our knowledge of Galileo and his trial.
Both legal and theological behind-the-scenes aspects of Galileo's trial are discussed. Because of a weak legal case, a plea bargain was arranged, extrajudicially, then sabotaged in the Holy Office before the final decision of the case. Through his close scrutiny of the specifics of the trial, Blackwell renders a picture that is more complex, and ominous, than the usual portrayal of the trial.

Book Description
This is the first book to comprehensively analyze national space legislation from a Law Reform and Participatory perspective. It explores the legal basis of a domestic scenario for private commercial space activities by examining both international and national space law. It provides national policy makers with an alternative perspective to approach the regulation of space activities and it offers the space industry the foundations to construct a model for structuring its future commercial space practice in those countries which currently lack a national space regulatory framework.
The book is a must read for international and space law professionals, aerospace industry consultants, regulatory authorities, and international law and sociolegal scholars and students.
