This research project examines the relationships between HR
policies, management accounting and organisational performance on
the basis of international case studies and interviews across a
range of industries from building materials to software
development.
* Explores the relationship between different HR policies and
organisational performance and how management accountants can
establish links between the two;
* The first to extend existing research into Japanese companies
to give a different perspective and another point of
comparison;
* Case study results are tested in the telephone survey for
better accuracy and insight
* Original, cutting-edge research funded by the Chartered
Institute of Management Accountants
* Unique international perspective: extends existing research
into Japanese companies to give a different perspective and another
point of comparison
* Results of six extensive case studies and 100 telephone
interviews
The overarching contribution of this book is a review and
assessment of the current and future impacts of globalization on
the world's forests. The work has been developed by the "Resources
for the Future" Task Force for the International Union of Forest
Research Organizations (IUFRO). Four key themes are addressed: the
effect of globalization on forests (including future trade flows);
plantations as the primary source of forest products and its
consequences, including plant breeding and forest health; the
effect of new products such as bio-products and markets on forests;
and the emergence of forest ecosystem services and their impact on
the landscape and human communities. These four themes are examined
in detail to map out the impacts of these trends for forests
throughout the world and at multiple scales, and how forest
research needs to be adapted to address these trends. Overall, the
volume provides a major synthesis of current thinking and knowledge
on the topic for advanced students, as well as policy-makers and
professionals in the forest sector.
Humans may run faster, read less or type more quickly, simply
because someone else is present. The presence of one person affects
the behaviour of another: this is known as social facilitation and
is one of the oldest topics in social psychology. Despite its
importance this was the first book-length study of the phenomenon
when it was published in 1993. Dr Guerin reviewed all work in the
area from 1898 onwards, looking at both animal and human research,
and developed his own theory, based on modern behaviour analysis.
The book will be appreciated for its wide-ranging and balanced
review of previous work on social facilitation and for the general
review of the state of social psychology during the 1990s that Dr
Guerin's work on the phenomenon includes. The author's theoretical
stance is innovative and important, and will make the work required
reading.

This book examines the importance of air pollution for the forests
of rapidly industrializing countries and regions. Its geographical
coverage includes South and Central America, Africa, and Asia,
including Siberia, China and Korea. The problems presented by air
pollution are placed within the more general context of sustainable
development within these regions and the historical legacy that
they are attempting to deal with. Attention is drwan to the very
serious problems associated with poor air quality in cities such as
Mexico City and Chongqing, China. Air pollution in these areas is
among the worst in the world. Several chapters examine the
importance of forest fires as a source of air pollution, with
particular reference to the Southeast Asian fires in recent years.
The available information about the effects of this pollution on
the surrounding forests is reviewed, and recommendations are made
for a better understanding of the impacts. A final chapter reviews
the recent developments in air pollution control policies in the
different regions covered by the book. It is of interest to
postgraduates and researchers in forestry, pollution studies and
environmental science.
In The Human Dichotomy, John Clarke discusses how the ratio between
the numbers of males and females will change in the future.
Scientific and technological advances, accompanied by social and
economic change, are affecting the number of births, the number of
deaths and the mobility of the two sexes, with the prospect of
further dramatic changes in store. What impact will this have on
the lot of women and girls world-wide? Will changes in the ratio of
male to female births mean that the traditional son preference will
begin to break down?
Professor Clarke looks at how medical interventions and the looming
prospect of sex selection at birth will affect the rough balances
in the numbers of men and women. As well as these so-called
'natural' changes, the numerical balances of the two sexes in most
parts of the world is being greatly transformed by a revolution in
female mobility. How 'natural' changes in population and increased
mobility in the 21st century will affect the geographical
distribution in the numerical balance of the sexes is a key theme
of this book.
Addressing a significant gap in the literature, The Human Dichotomy
provides case studies from across the world on the problems
associated with the changing balances of births, deaths and
mobility of the two sexes. Issues discussed include patterns of sex
ratios, sex-selective abortions, sex-differential mortality in more
developed and less developed countries, marriage and widowhood, and
gendered migration.
Air pollution has been recognized as a potential problem for
forests for nearly 150 years. Today, sulphur dioxide, fluorides,
heavy metals and ozone are a significant problem, usually from
large scale sources in industrial and urban areas. Problems are
exacerbated in those regions where there is a poor understanding of
the factors involved in forest decline and destruction and no
rigorous control over it has been established. This book is the
first report from the International Union of Forest Research
Organization 's (IUFRO) Task Force on Environmental Change and
provides an assessment of the extent of air pollution impacts on
forests in heavily polluted regions. It includes case studies from
Russia, Ontario (Canada), California and the Mediterranean region.
It is also the first volume in a new book series covering many
areas of forestry research, published by CABI Publishing in
association with IUFRO.
