Behavioral Issues in Operations Management explains and examines up-to-date research in this field, which works to analyze the impact of human behavior on the management of complex operating systems. A collection of studies from leading scholars presents different methodologies and approaches, supported by real data and case studies.

You are cordially invited to a summer wedding!

Wedding season is an anthology of ten English short stories by some of ROSA's (Romance writers Organisation of South Africa) published authors. The short stories are all on the theme of summer weddings, but apart from the theme they have nothing in common. Each story will reflect the genre, heat levels and personal writing style of that author.
