Italian accounting has a long and honourable tradition of
theoretical and applied analysis of the accounting and reporting
function, perceived and defined much more broadly than in the
Anglo-Saxon tradition. The high point of this perhaps, is the
creation of what is known as Economia Aziendale (EA). The
antecedents, genesis and later developments are presented here in
detail by highly knowledgeable specialists in the field. EA takes
as a prerequisite the necessity of the business (entity/azienda) to
ensure its own long-run survival. This requires that the necessary
resources are retained and preserved, so operating capital
maintenance, by definition future-oriented, is essential. It
requires a focus on the particular business organization,
entity-specific and consistent with today's notion of the business
model. Entity-specific information relevant to current and future
cash flows is a necessary pre-requisite for ensuring long-run
survival, which historical cost accounting, or fair value (being
market-specific not entity-specific) satisfactorily achieve.
Flexibility of valuation and of reporting, always relevant to the
specific asset at the specific time in the specific place, is a
necessary condition for effective management. This is exactly the
focus of EA and its analysis and tradition. Scholars and advanced
students of international regulation and accounting, as well as
accounting history, will find this an invaluable guide to a
vibrant, scholarly tradition of great practical relevance today.

The Elgar Companion to Development Studies is an innovative and
unique reference book that includes original contributions covering
development economics as well as development studies broadly
defined. This major new Companion brings together an international
panel of experts from varying backgrounds who discuss theoretical,
ethical and practical issues relating to economic, social,
cultural, institutional, political and human aspects of development

For undergraduates and MBA students taking a first course in
financial accounting. A clear approach to learning accounting, with
an international focus Financial Accounting: An International
Introduction, 7th Edition, by Alexander and Nobes is an essential
textbook for undergraduates and MBA students worldwide taking a
first course in financial accounting. It is the ideal book for you
if you have little prior knowledge, or are new to this subject
area. The seventh edition retains the clear writing style and
unique international focus which led to the success of previous
editions. This approach enables the learning of financial
accounting in a way that is not country-specific. This fully
updated text uses the International Financial Reporting Standards

linking them with contemporary real-life examples from around the
world. Pearson, the world's learning company.
First published in 1976, this book provides an interdiciplinary
study fo the thoughts of Adam Smith, showing it particular how the
link between economic basis and social superstructure was central
to his work. The work is split into six sections, dividing Smith's
views along the following lines: 'methology', 'conduct and
character', 'consumer behaviour', 'the upper classes', 'the lower
classes', and finally 'the State'.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the
possibility of global accounting harmonization, have recently
gained enormously in importance, both practically and from an
academic and research perspective. Since 2005, European and
Australian listed enterprises are required to use IFRS for
Consolidated Financial Statements. Other countries - from New
Zealand to China - are actively moving towards these standards. And
now, the IFRS Board and the American Regulatory System are publicly
committed to a convergence programme. This major work, edited by
two leading experts in the field, is a timely appraisal of academic
and regulatory work in relation to this whole process. These
important volumes bring together - otherwise inaccessible - early
material which is vital to the understanding of the historical
perspective, both in terms of the current situation and of future
developments. International Financial Reporting Standards provides
a broad overview, in addition to detailed coverage, of this
important and fascinating topic, including a discussion of the
processes of change and developments which have led from a widely
disparate starting position to the current situation. The four
volumes are fully indexed and each includes an informative,
contextual introduction by the editors.
The first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper
in Britain and Ireland 1714-1820 This biographical dictionary of
engravers working on copper encompasses both those who produced
fine art prints, and also those who engraved book illustrations for
medical, technical and literary works, all of which played a more
important part than is usually realised in spreading information in
the age of Enlightenment. Some 3,000 biographical entries draw on
much unpublished information, researched over four decades, notably
records of apprenticeship, genealogy, insurance and bankruptcy as
well as newspaper advertisements and contemporary accounts. This is
the first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper
in Britain and Ireland 1714-1820. Many biographical entries
describe celebrated engravers producing "fine art" prints of
paintings, which spread knowledge about living and dead artists.
However, this book also builds up a more complex picture of the
occupation of printmaking and includes engravers, many previously
unresearched, who engraved ephemeral material, such as trade cards,
bank notes, and satirical prints as well as the images that spread
knowledge across literary, geographical, historical, topographical,
medical and technical fields. Distributed for the Paul Mellon
Centre for Studies in British Art
As a well balanced and fully illustrated introductory text, this
book provides a comprehensive overview of the physical,
technological and social components of natural disaster. The main
disaster-producing agents are reviewed systematically in terms of
geophysical processes and effects, monitoring, mitigation and
warning. The relationship between disasters and society is examined
with respect to a wide variety of themes, including damage
assessment and prevention, hazard mapping, emergency preparedness,
the provision of shelter and the nature of reconstruction. Medical
emergencies and the epidemiology of disasters are described, and
refugee management and aid to the Third World are discussed. A
chapter is devoted to the sociology, psychology, economics and
history of disasters. In many parts of the world the toll of death,
injury, damage and deprivation caused by natural disasters is
becoming increasingly serious. Major earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, droughts, floods and other similar catastrophes are
often followed by large relief operations characterized by
substantial involvement of the international community. The years
1990-2000 have therefore been designated by the United N
In today's technology-driven environment there is an
ever-increasing demand for information delivery. A compromise has
to be struck between security and availability. This book is a
pragmatic guide to information assurance for both business
professionals and technical experts. The third edition has been
updated to reflect changes in the IT security landscape and updates
to the BCS Certification in Information Security Management
Principles, which the book supports.

... the most deft and incisive analysis available today of the
issues in current housing policy. The facts are up-to-date and the
approach fresh and stimulating ...' - "Social Services Insight"
Disasters can dominate newspaper headlines and fill our TV screens
with relief appeals, but the complex long-term challenge of
recovery-providing shelter, rebuilding safe dwellings, restoring
livelihoods and shattered lives-generally fails to attract the
attention of the public and most agencies. On average 650 disasters
occur each year. They affect more than 200 million people and cause
$166 trillion of damage. Climate change, population growth and
urbanisation are likely to intensify further the impact of natural
disasters and add to reconstruction needs. Recovery from Disaster
explores the field and provides a concise, comprehensive source of
knowledge for academics, planners, architects, engineers,
construction managers, relief and development officials and
reconstruction planners involved with all sectors of recovery,
including shelter and rebuilding. With almost 80 years of
first-hand experience of disaster recovery between them, Ian Davis
(an architect) and David Alexander (a geographer) draw
substantially from first-hand experiences in a variety of recovery
situations in China, Haiti, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan,
the Philippines and the USA. The volume is further enriched by two
important and unique features: 21 models of disaster recovery are
presented, seven of which were specifically developed for the book.
The second feature is a survey of expert opinion about the nature
of effective disaster recovery-the first of its kind. More than 50
responses are provided in full, along with an analysis that
integrates them with the theories that underpin them. By providing
a framework and models for future study and applications, Davis and
Alexander seek both to advance the field and to provide a
much-needed reference work for decision makers. With a broad
perspective derived from the authors' roles held as university
professors, researchers, trainers, consultants, NGO directors and
advisors to governments and UN agencies, this comprehensive guide
will be invaluable for practitioners and students of disaster
management.
A young girl notices things about her grandmother that make her
curious. Why does her grandmother have long, braided hair and
beautifully coloured clothing? Why does she speak Cree and spend so
much time with her family? As she asks questions, her grandmother
shares her experiences in a residential school, when all of these
things were taken away. Also available in a bilingual Swampy
Cree/English edition. When We Were Alone won the 2017 Governor
General's Literary Award in the Young People's Literature
(Illustrated Books) category, and was nominated for the TD
Canadian's Children's Literature Award.

"Assessment of Vulnerability to Natural Hazards" covers the
vulnerability of human and environmental systems to climate change
and eight natural hazards: earthquakes, floods, landslides,
avalanches, forest fires, drought, coastal erosion, and heat
waves.
This book is an important contribution to the field, clarifying
terms and investigating the nature of vulnerability to hazards in
general and in various specific European contexts. In addition,
this book helps improve understanding of vulnerability and gives
thorough methodologies for investigating situations in which people
and their environments are vulnerable to hazards. With case studies
taken from across Europe, the underlying theoretical frame is
transferrable to other geographical contexts, making the content
relevant worldwide.
Provides a framework of theory and methodology designed to help
researchers and practitioners understand the phenomenon of
vulnerability to natural hazards and disasters and to climate
changeContains case studies that illustrate how to apply the
methodology in different ways to diverse hazards in varied settings
(rural, urban, coastal, mountain, and more)Describes how to
validate the results of methodology application in different
situations and how to respond to the needs of diverse groups of
stakeholders represented by the public and private sectors, civil
society, researchers, and academics
Alexander and Alexander's American Public School Law has for 50
years set the standard for books in the field of education law.
This new 2019, Ninth Edition, provides for a combined
textbook/casebook approach for teaching the law of public school
systems in the United States. Included in this volume are hundreds
of recent judicial precedents rendered by state and federal
appellate courts derived from actual cases and controversies
involving the schools. The book is designed to facilitate a "case"
or "discussion" teaching methodology that enables the teacher to
depart from merely lecturing or "telling" about the law and to
engage the students in a dialogue and discussion mode. Written in
an engaging style, American Public School Law, Ninth Edition,
clearly explains all complex points of law for non-lawyers, with a
focus on the unique needs of professional school leaders. The book
is accompanied with an Instructor's Manual and a Test Bank, along
with PowerPoint slides for each chapter.
