Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage
ASIN: 0521891434 |
Book Description
This book examines the impact of marriage on labor force participation, productivity at work, savings, government programs, and many other aspects of the economy. Lawmakers, legal scholars, sociologists, psychologists, spiritual leaders and all concerned with threats to the institution of marriage and the values that it embodies benefit from this reexamination of a basic Western institution via the lens of professional economists.
Download Description
Marriage and the Economy explores how marriage influences the monetized economy as well as the household economy. Marriage institutions are to the household economy what business institutions are to the monetized economy, and marital status is clearly related to the household economy. Marriage also influences the economy as conventionally measured via its impact on labor supply, workers' productivity, savings, consumption, and government programs such as welfare programs and social security. The macro-economic analyses presented here are based on the micro-economic foundations of cost/benefit analysis, game theory, and market analysis. Micro-economic analysis of marriage, divorce, and behavior within marriages are investigated by a number of specialists in various areas of economics. Western values and laws have been very successful at transforming the way the world does business, but its success at maintaining individual commitments to family values is less impressive.

Book Description
"This book covers almost every aspect of the field and provides definitions and summaries of various BPM concepts, business improvement practices, data integration technologies, application integration technologies, workflow technologies, BPMS products and BPMS standards. …a good resource for those who are interested in BPMS and are involved with integrating data, systems, and people." ? Karthikeyan Umapathy, The Pennsylvania State University, Information Technology and People, Vol. 19, No. 2, 2006 Business Process Management Systems: Strategy and Implementation discusses business management practices and the technology that enables these practices. It analyzes the history of process management practices and proposes that BPM practices are a synthesis of BPR (radical change) and TQM (continuous change) practices. Both business and IT professionals receive an integrated view of how various management practices merge into BPM. This volume describes the many technologies that converge to form a Business Process Management System (BPMS), illustrating BPMS standards and service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Customer Reviews:
Very good entry to BPM.......2006-07-31
I've found the book very easy to go through. Comming from an IT backgroud, it does give you very good general background on BMP business past and current business trends.
The IT concepts described in the book are very well described for such a book.
References coverage in each chapter is the most valuable part. You can see easily the book is a result of several years of work.

Book Description
Dismissing the plethora of meaningless buzz words, simplistic checklists, and impractical business models common to management theory, this handbook advocates down-to-earth techniques for creating and implementing realistic business strategies. Presenting an array of methods that have stood the test of time in real-world business and academic environments, the content focuses on the strategic process as the backbone for the planning and implementation of strategic initiatives. Serving to remind readers that questions such as What do I do? When do I do it? and What goals should I be trying to achieve? should be posed at each stage of the strategic process, chapters begin with a brief introduction summarizing the tasks associated with specific stages, such as market analysis and development of a long-term vision, and the anticipated results. Would-be strategists are also advised on the axioms of patience, realism, and perseverance as they pertain to business management: patience—business strategies take time to mature both in the marketplace and in the corporate environment; realism—100% growth per quarter and permanent above-average returns go against all the rules of economic theory; and perseverance—strategic processes require application and effort, the persuasion of people, and the implementation of decisions.
Customer Reviews:
A great roadmap on Strategic Process.......2006-06-12
I commend it highly. It is a great handbook on Strategic Process. It is written in an accessible style that engages the reader and it is full of useful ideas without being overly prescriptive or formulaic.
There has been a need for a readable, practical but theoretically underpinned book on Strategic Process ... here it is.
This book is a great resource for managers thrown into the midst of strategy implementation processes, who need to gain understanding of strategic processes.
"Configure the processes with patience, realism, and determination and you will see that the contents automatically gain in quality" quote authors. - Great statement; processes are very important.
The structure/setup of this book I could use as a basic framework for the Strategic Management Course at United Business Institutes, Belgium. The book will enable the reader to understand the wide range of issues involved in strategy processes.
After reading this book, the reader will be able to think about strategy and judge strategic thinking (authors are using questions as a form to introduce a subject - great concept) and - this is important - make the reader curious about strategy and willing to look further into this subject.

Cheese Making - Awesome Book!.......2007-09-30
This is a great book for beginning and 'intermediate' home, cheese makers. I would highly recommend having this book in your pantry if you are going to attempt making cheese from home!
Excellent purchase!.......2007-05-15
This book is very detailed yet easy to understand. We have recently purchased cheese making kits for making cheeses at home since where we live, they are quite expensive and not readily available, especially for the goat cheeses in Australia.
THe 1st book we bought was good enough for beginners (if you are afraid of making cheeses, don't. Everything we did came perfectly all right). But this one goes into more details and explanations. So we recommend it!
Useful Cookbook.......2007-03-28
This book is easy to follow. It made cheese making simple. I found that the recipes made better cheeses than I could buy.
An extremely informative book.......2007-03-19
This book contains a wealth of information for the beginning cheese maker or for experienced ones for that matter. Great recipes that work. In my opinion, the book is well worth the money I paid for it.
A Standard for Cheese Making.......2007-01-26
I got interested in making cheese after I meet the artisan cheesemaker at a local winery near Herman, Missouri. She told me that she had started in her kitchen and had developed the hobby into a professional culinary skill, after further education in Europe and Israel on the fine art of cheesemaking. She enthusiastically recommended this book, and I received it for Christmas. It is very well written, with logical chapter layout for ingredients, equipment, and techniques, followed by lots of recipes for the different families of cheeses (hard, soft, Italian, etc.) The beginning establishes the cheese makers vocabulary, which is then used throughout the book. A great book for a beginning cheese maker.
Book Description
The widely used previous edition has been brought fully up-to-date by authors with a worldwide reputation for excellence. From the basic descriptions of 'how to' complete each stage of the process, right through to the details of the causes and remediation of faults, this book covers all the areas required by the professional cheesemaker, including raw materials; separation; texturing and draining equipment; molding machinery and presses; and other types of equipment and packaging machinery. This highly practical book is written specifically for those involved with commercial cheesemaking - either directly or as ingredient or equipment suppliers.

Not for the best for small scale cheese making.......2005-01-26
I borrowed this book from the library and I was glad I didn't
buy it.
It focusses on the process for making hard, pressed cheeses.
I much prefer Ricki Carrols book for acccessible information pertinant to someone making small quantities of lots of different varieties of cheese.

Book Description
Here reprinted, this is a classic of the canid literature. Originally published in 1978, Coyotes: Biology, Behavior and Management pulled together much disparate research in coyote evolution, taxonomy, reproduction, communication, behavioral development, population dynamics, ethology and ecological studies in the Southwest, Minnesota, Iowa, New England and Wyoming as well as studies on livestock damage and research on other canids. "At its best in those chapters that draw together widely dispersed information". Science 202, pp. 424 "The book presents an abundance of useful tabular material and cites a great majority of the most significant literature. It is a work that no serious student of the subject can afford to be without". BioScience 29, pp. 312 "A most welcome comprehensive review of coyote research and an introduction to the far-flung literature". Journal of Mammalogy, 60, pp. 658 "I recommend this book to everyone interested in coyotes and the current controversies surrounding this extremely successful predator. A thorough understanding of this animal is crucial and this book is surely a step in the right direction". J. Wildlife Management 43, pp. 279 Marc Bekoff is Professor of Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and is a Fellow of the Animal Behavior Society and a former Guggenheim Fellow.
