Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This Handbook provides a comprehensive study of research, practice
and policy at the nexus of accounting and sustainability, or
sustainable development. Internationally renowned accounting
academics in the field offer critical discussions of the topic to
stimulate debate as the future policy infrastructure is formed.
Chapters explain key drivers of developments at the nexus, critique
those developments, summarise the findings of research on key
themes in the field, and suggest areas for further research,
offering evidence-based practice and policy solutions. The Handbook
sets the scene by exploring accounting, power, social justice and
unsustainability, before moving on to appraise the role of
enterprise value-based integrated reporting in (un)sustainable
development. It further analyses contemporary issues in the field,
including climate change-related disclosures, accounting for
greenhouse gases and emissions trading schemes. The thorough
coverage of key issues in accounting and sustainability, and the
analysis of research literature in the Handbook will make this a
critical read for accounting and business researchers and students.
It is an invigorating guide for policymakers and policy
influencers, accounting professionals and business leaders looking
to move forward in a more sustainable way.
Do you ask yourself what this ‘agility hype’ is actually about
and in what cases agility really creates benefits? Would you like
to know how to make processes more agile? Do you fancy the idea of
using agile methods but don't know how to explain it to your ISO
9001 auditor? This is the book you’ve been waiting for! Written
from a quality management professional’s point of view, it offers
useful solutions and practical advice concerning the use of agile
practices in ISO 9001-based quality management systems. Agility for
organisations is defined and described in a structured way. It is
shown in detail how agile practices can be integrated into a QM
system while maintaining the ISO 9001 certification. You will find
out what needs to be considered when systemically incorporating
agile practices, and how to balance the benefits and limitations of
agility in organisations. Based on a qualitative, intersectoral
research initiative, this book provides unique, state-of-the-art
information and valid arguments for focused organisational
development. It is intended for professionals such as quality
managers, innovation managers, auditors of ISO management
standards, organisational developers and managers who lead ISO
9001-certified companies.
Recent advances in the study of bats have changed the way we
understand this illusive group of mammals. This volume consist of
25 chapters and 57 authors from around the globe all writing on the
most recent finding on the evolution, ecology and conservation of
bats. The chapters in this book are not intended to be exhaustive
literature reviews, but instead extended manuscripts that bring new
and fresh perspectives. Many chapters consist of previously
unpublished data and are repetitive of new insights and
understanding in bat evolution, ecology and conservation. All
chapters were peer-reviewed and revised by the authors. Many of the
chapters are multi-authored to provide comprehensive and
authoritative coverage of the topics.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
The purpose of this volume is to investigate scholastic culture in
the Hellenistic and Roman eras, with a particular focus on ancient
book and material culture as well as scholarship beyond Greek
authors and the Greek language. Accordingly, one of the major
contributions of this work is the inclusion of multiple
perspectives and its contributors engage not only with elements of
Greek scholastic culture, but also bring Greek ideas into
conversation with developing Latin scholarship (see chapters by
Dickey, Nicholls, Marshall) and the perspective of a minority
culture (i.e., Jewish authors) (see chapters by Hezser, Adams).
This multicultural perspective is an important next step in the
discussion of ancient scholarship and this volume provides a
starting point for future inquiries.
There has been widespread neglect by scholars of deuterocanonical
books, especially those (e.g., Baruch) that are thought to lack
originality. This book seeks to address this lacuna by
investigating some of the major interpretive issues in Baruchan
scholarship. The volume comprises a collection of essays from an
international team of scholars who specialise in Second Temple
Judaism and Old Testament pseudepigrapha. Topics covered include:
historical issues (the person of Baruch), literary structure,
intertextual relationships between Baruch and the OT (Jeremiah,
Isaiah), reception history (Christian and Jewish), and modern
translation challenges. This is the first volume of essays that
exclusively focus on Baruch and one that seeks to provide a
foundation for future investigations.
Tarell's story is one that couldn't have stayed hidden. He was
both humbled in the sight of God through his innocence and abused
in the blindness of many in their own ignorance. This story will
evoke emotions ranging from sadness to joy, while making you laugh
in between. In a world where movies and literature reign supreme,
"Blind Innocence" offers a unique story that has yet to be
portrayed, offering a refreshingly, new journey through the life of
a troubled adolescent. Tarell is mentally challenged and has been
through a lot in his young life, suffering abuse from both his
biological mother and his adoptive mother, women in general, and
society. Just when it appears as though things are finally starting
to look up for Tarell, who after meeting his biological family, all
hell breaks loose. What started out as a dream quickly becomes
reality, and soon, it all turns out to be a nightmare.
Then he meets Debbie, a young girl who, among all the other
women he came across, has a heart filled with compassion and sorrow
after hearing his story. Debbie talks her mother into taking in the
homeless Tarell, but more drama erupts when Debbie's mother, a
conniving, Christian woman, uses his mental disability against him
in order to pacify her insecurities, causing him to endure even
more mental and emotional damage. But as they say, "What doesn't
break you will only make you strong."
"Blind Innocence" shares a poignant glimpse into one man's life
as he faces seemingly insurmountable odds and slowly tries to
create a meaningful life.
After everything Tarell has been through, will he be broken, or
arise, victorious and strong?

There are few valleys to compare with that of the Susque-hanna. In
point of picturesque scenery and modern alteration attained by the
unceasing labor of man, the antithesis between the natural and the
artificial is pronounced in many respects; especially
Designed to promote reflection and better practices among the
prospective volunteers and organizers of travel-for-service
experiences, "International Volunteer Tourism" provides a
collection of narratives on short-term international volunteering
in Central America written by North American organizers, student
participants, and Central American partners. The authors explore
lessons learned from specific international service interventions
in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras, with some attention to
Costa Rica and Guatemala. The collection provides a nuanced,
contextualized, historically evolving portrait of the increasingly
popular practice of "voluntourism" with an eye toward pushing that
practice toward meaningful social change.
Life is looking up for Rina Martin, with the expected revival of
her television career, but as her happy summer ends, storm clouds
are on the horizon . . . Summer in Frantham had been long and lazy
and DI MacGregor had enjoyed the peace and quiet after a traumatic
year. In the Martin Household at Peverill Lodge, change is afoot.
Tim is now engaged and preparing to move out, an event Rina views
with a mix of pleasure and regret. She will miss Tim tremendously.
And there is news of the revival of her television career. Lydia
Marchant Investigates looks set to make it back onto the small
screen But nothing stays peaceful for long. Old enemies have
returned, the skeletal remains of a woman are found during
excavations at the local airfield and then a man is murdered
outside a local pub just a few miles away from Frantham. As the
hot, peaceful summer ends, the autumn is set to turn nasty.
Stormclouds are gathering, and Rina, Mac and their friends are
about to be swept up into the maelstrom . . .
This is the second of two volumes that investigate the phenomenon
of composite citations. The first collection of essays evaluated
the use of composite citations in Early Jewish, Graeco-Roman, and
Early Christian authors. This volume builds on the findings of the
first and provides a fresh investigation of all the composite
citations by New Testament authors. The following topics are
covered: (1) the question of whether the quoting author created the
composite text or found it already constructed as such; (2) the
question of the rhetorical and/or literary impact of the quotation
in its present textual location, as opposed to simply unpacking how
the author appears to be interpreting the source text; and (3) the
question of whether the intended audiences would have recognized
and 'reverse engineered' the composite citation in question and as
a result engaged with the original context of each of the component
parts.

It is widely accepted by New Testament scholars that the Gospel of
Luke and the Acts of the Apostles probably originated as two parts
of one work by a single author. In spite of this, the books have
been assigned to very different genres: Luke is traditionally
viewed as a biography of Jesus, and Acts as a history of the early
church. Comparing in detail the structure and content of Acts with
the formal features of history, novel, epic and biography, Sean A.
Adams challenges this division. Applying both ancient and modern
genre theory, he argues that the best genre parallel for the Acts
of the Apostles is in fact collected biography. Offering a nuanced
and sophisticated understanding of genre theory, along with an
insightful argument regarding the composition and purpose of Acts,
this book will be of interest to those studying the New Testament,
Acts, genre theory and ancient literature.
This open access book presents the findings of Collaborative
Research Center Transregio 40 (TRR40), initiated in July 2008 and
funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Gathering
innovative design concepts for thrust chambers and nozzles, as well
as cutting-edge methods of aft-body flow control and
propulsion-component cooling, it brings together fundamental
research undertaken at universities, testing carried out at the
German Aerospace Center (DLR) and industrial developments from the
ArianeGroup. With a particular focus on heat transfer analyses and
novel cooling concepts for thermally highly loaded structures, the
book highlights the aft-body flow of the space transportation
system and its interaction with the nozzle flow, which are
especially critical during the early phase of atmospheric ascent.
Moreover, it describes virtual demonstrators for combustion
chambers and nozzles, and discusses their industrial applicability.
As such, it is a timely resource for researchers, graduate students
and practitioners.
