    Book Description

    This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
    The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.

      This is an excellent book. It provides 'state of the art and science' information about past and emerging work in emotioanl intelligence and competencies. I highly recommend it.

      4 out of 5 stars If you are serious about learning the background to E.I........2001-06-14

      The Handbook of Emotional Intelligence is a must read for anyone who is serious about emotional intelligence. Through this book, Bar-On and Parker have brought together a world-class collection of academics, psychologists and researchers. Before the Handbook was written, researchers and practitioners who wanted to get to the bottom of emotional intelligence needed to look up thousands of sources to even start their research. Bar-On and Parker have completed a sterling effort - the chapters include hundreds of research studies and the links are made between many different strands of research on intelligence and emotion and they are brought together in a 'tome' of useful information. This book is not a light piece of bedtime reading. It is a text book which should be on the shelf of anyone who wants to hear direct from the key researchers who have helped to create the field of Emotional Intelligence, so well popularised by Daniel Goleman in his book 'Emotional Intelligence'.

          Book Description

          Organizations need to contend with issues related to disruptive psychopathological behavior that in years past may have been swept under the rug. Also, clinicians are more aware that their clients' mental health concerns are influenced by the workplace and that treatment without regard to what happens at work is not apt to be successful.

          The Handbook of Mental Health in the Workplace explores how psychological disorders impact the ability to work and recommends treatments and their likely side effects. It is designed to give the mental health clinician, I/O psychologist, and human resources manager the information they need to determine the employee's fitness for work and what, if any, accommodations may be needed.

          The handbook is divided into five parts:

          Part I: General Issues
          Presents an overview of the field and outlines the legal rights and responsibilities for employees and employers.

          Part II: Working Conditions, Life Stressors, and Mental Health
          Presents the current research on job stress and its effects on mental health, the effects of work-family conflicts, women’s health issues, and organizational interventions for reducing stress and conflict.

          Part III: Effects of Psychopathology on Work
          Provides detailed descriptions of the most common forms of psychopathology that may affect the workplace.

          Part IV: Effects of Disruptive Behavior at Work
          Explores behavior that may not relate to standard diagnostic categories but has clear mental health implications. This includes anger and violence, poor social skills, the effects of abuse, exposure to traumatic events, passive-aggressive behavior, and grieving.

          Part V: Organizational Practice and Mental Health
          Presents the mental health considerations for designing organizational policy, job analysis, and accommodations for the disabled.

          This handbook should prove beneficial to human resources professionals, mental health practitioners, I/O psychologists, and administrators of employee assistance programs (EAPs). Graduate students and professors in psychology and management will also find this a valuable reference.

                      Book Description

                      Food, clothing, shelter, healing, decoration---through the cultivation of plants, himankind has thrived and civilizations have flourished for thousands of years. Now, this unique new reference work tells the story, plant by plant, of the ongoing connection between human culture and the plant kingdom.

                      The Cultural History of Plants provides details on over 800 plant species in 21 thematic chapters. Coverage emcompasses plants cultivated for virtually every purpose, from the manufacture of textiles, perfume, and drugs, to those used for food and ornament.

                      After an opening section on the earliets use and cultivation of plants, the book's thematic chapters cover the world's economically and culturally important plants.

                      Written by some of the world's leading ethnobotanists, these chapters begin with a useful one-page overview of its subject followed by concise A-Z entries, and conclude with a generous bibliography pointing out sources for further research. In addition to listing the common names for each plant, each entry also provides the Latin name and names used in Britain and the United States. Concluding chapters give up-to-date information on industrial agriculture, invasive plants, conservation of wild plant biodiversity and endangered species, and conservation of crop genetic resources.

                      This unique reference is a valuable aid for ethnobotanists and horticultural enthusiasts, archaeologists and social historians, and anyone concerned with the relationship between people and plants.

                      4 out of 5 stars Recensione Cultural History of Plants (in Italiano).......2007-09-08

                      l titolo di questo volume purtroppo mette fuori strada. Si sarebbe portati a pensare di trovare una piccola miniera di informazioni sulla storia delle piante, sugli usi che attorno a loro si sono sviluppati, di storie, miti e curiosità picole e grandi. L'opera è estremamente interessante e di grande pregio scientifico, ma purtroppo è poco "sugosa", proprio dal punto di vista storico e culturale. Si tratta infatti di un volume piuttosto poco incline all'aneddotica, ma anzi rigorosamente scientifico, che divide le piante per categorie (noci, semi, alberi, piante tintorie, tessili, profumate, ornamentali, ecc.) e le affronta in maniera piuttosto semplice, riportando il numero ed i nomi delle specie (le più importanti), le date in cui le piante sono state importate in Europa (gli autori sono inglesi) e qualche informazione più o meno generica. La sezione "ornamentali" è davvero scoraggiante, mentre le piante cosiddette "utili" sono trattate in maniera più completa ed accattivante. La base scientifica di questo libro è molto solida, gliautori sono tutti professori universitari o giù di lì, e Ghillean prance è l'architetto che ha ideato l'Eden Project. Purtroppo il prezzo dell'opera è molto alto, dai 140 Euro in su, anche perchè è di recente pubblicazione (2005).

                      5 out of 5 stars The last plant.......2006-01-28

                      It's inevitable people made room for plants. Most mammals make their own vitamin C. But people can't. They need plants. So it's also inevitable people took up farming, for balanced, one-stop diets. It meant time to build homes near such basic crops as barley and wheat in the Middle East and West Asia; maize in the Americas; rice in East Asia; and sorghum in sub-Saharan Africa. It meant time to develop civilizations there, and along the Mediterranean. It meant time to grow plants, not just to eat, but for flavor, look, and smell.

                      Plants spread outside their native range by wind, water, birds and animals. They spread faster and further by people. They spread with trade. They spread with people visiting and taking what they liked. They spread with people moving and bringing something familiar to new homes. They spread with war. For example, 1,700 years ago, barbarians took over Rome until a ransom was paid in peppers.

                      Contributing writers cover alcohol, caffeine and sweeteners; fragrants; fruits; grains; herbs and vegetables; materials such as latex, oils, poisons and waxes; medicinals; natural fibers and dyes; nuts, pulses, and seeds; ornamentals; psychoactives; roots and tubers; spices; and woods. Each chapter lists the best-known plant examples. Each tells where they started and where they are now.

                      My favorite chapters are on fragrants; fruits; herbs and vegetables; and ornamentals. Partly it's finding out how many aren't natives. Partly it's because a sentence appeals to me as a Virginia Tech-trained master gardener. It says farming makes life possible. But flower-, fruit- and vegetable-growing makes life something people lead.

                      THE CULTURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS is a surprise. It deals with science. But the writing's easy to read. Editors Sir Ghillean Prance and Mark Nesbitt et al do well with many facts and some guesses. They give clear examples, good index, and helpful references. I'd have liked more pictures. But what's there works. As do the main points. First, the last place to find natives is becoming their native homes. Some fit into new homes. Without native diseases and pests, many take over. Invasives will kill 30-47% of all plants in 50 years. Two, wild plants take a beating from cultivated plants. But it's best to keep a plant's full range of cultivated and wild forms. Third, different forms of a cultivated and a wild plant take a beating. But it's best to keep the full range of a cultivated and a wild plant. That works against mass disaster, such as the potato famine in 19th-century Ireland. Of many crops, people grew potatoes. Of potatoes, they grew one kind. So the blight wiped out all. Fourth, there's no getting away from what Virginia Tech master gardening calls the wildlands-urban interface of where nature and people meet. They've actually been more in each other's faces since people stopped grazing and started growing their own food.

                          Book Description

                          This long-awaited English edition of the famous "Mansfeld" gives a full account of all agricultural and horticultural plants, other than ornamentals, grown throughout the world presently or in the past. More than 6040 species are covered, including food crops, forage, oil, fibre, spice, medicinal, industrial and so-called auxiliary plants (shade trees, green manure or cover plants). Summaries are given on some hundreds of additional species which have been grown so far only under experimental conditions or in breeding programs. Reference is made not only to highly domesticated or economically important crops, but also to those hardly differing from their wild forms or grown only locally and regionally.
                          This work is a unique documentation of the wide potential of cultivable plants.
