A love letter to a community of Trappist monks who provided family
when it was needed the most. This warmhearted memoir describes how
a small, insecure boy with a vibrant imagination found an unlikely
family in the company of monks at Holy Trinity Abbey, in the
mountains of rural Latter-day Saint Utah. Struggling with his
parents' recent divorce, Michael O'Brien discovered a community
filled with warmth, humor, idiosyncrasies, and most of all,
listening ears. Filled with anecdotes and delightful "behind the
scenes" descriptions of his experiences living alongside the monks
as they farmed, prayed, buried their dead, ate, and shared the joys
of life, Monastery Mornings speaks to the value of spiritual
fatherhood, the lasting impact of positive mentoring, and the
stability that the spiritual life can offer to people of all ages
and walks of life.

The book, first published in 1977, contrasts new and older
approaches to the history of transport and outlines a critical
exposition of the methods used to quantify the contribution of
railways to economic growth by means of counterfactual speculation
and the measurement of social savings. The author also outlines and
appraises an alternative measure of the impact of railways, namely
the social rate of return on capital invested in railways. The
final chapters are concerned with the effects on growth generated
by the construction and diffusion of railways through expenditure
on labour, capital goods and industrial inputs and through their
effects on the integration of markets, and patterns of location.
First published in 1978, Professor O'Brien's Economic Growth in
Britain and France 1780-1914 is an original and pioneering exercise
in comparative and quantitative economic history. It finds a
controversial place in the debate on the question of French
retardation in the 19th century and as a brave and important
contribution towards the understanding of economic growth in
Western Europe. The author attempts to comprehend and evaluate the
economic performance of France through explicit comparisons with
Britain, while considering British economic history from a French
perspective. Challenging the orthodox view that France lagged
behind Britain in economic terms, the book argues that there were
two paths of economic growth to the 20th century, with France's
path seen as a more humane and no less efficient transition to
industrial society.

Most businesses consider a multitude of factors to evaluate the
performance of each business sector. In today's business culture,
one singular number - OSHA recordable - typically measures safety.
This is comparable to driving down the highway using your rear view
mirror to steer. Business Measurements for Safety Performance
provides a simple, effective, and applicable method of measuring
safety performance. Just as other sectors consider equipment
damage, lost product, employee turnover, customer satisfaction, and
a host of other factors, so should safety performance. It can and
should be measured using the same criteria as all other business
sectors. Safety performance can affect a company's bottom line. The
challenge: can we quantifiably measure safety performance in the
same way we measure production performance, sales performance, or
any other business sector. Business Measurements for Safety
Performance supplies the tools you need for safety measurement to
compete with other business sectors for company dollars, awareness,
and commitment from management. Features

Oxford's Atlas of World History is the result of years of intensive
work by a specialist team of scholars, editors, and cartographers.
It presents the story of humanity in its physical setting, from the
emergence of the earliest hominoids to the present day. Truly
international in scope, the atlas incorporates the latest research
into Asian, African, and Central and South American history, as
well as the traditional core of North American and European events.
The Atlas includes sections on the Ancient World, Medieval World,
Early Modern World, Age of Revolutions, and the Twentieth Century
and Beyond. Each section opens with an introduction that highlights
the main socioeconomic, cultural and religious themes of the
period, followed by spreads of maps, text, illustrations and
captions that discuss specific regions and eras. Spreads depict
everything from hunting in Africa in 10,000 BC to the kingdoms of
Southeast Asia in the earliest years of the millennium, the decline
of the Byzantine Empire, the growth of the Atlantic economies in
the 18th century, and standards of living since 1945.
The Atlas features some 450 vivid full-color maps illustrating the
major themes and events of world history, 100 photographs, 60
diagrams and hundreds of thousands of words of explanatory text.
Unique for such an atlas, the entire work is thoroughly
cross-referenced, allowing the reader to move backwards and
forwards in time or across the world from region to region,
following themes or lines of inquiry across pages.
The new edition brings the Atlas into the 21st Century and up to
the present day. New and updated maps and illustrations cover a
wide range of evolving subjects such as population changes,
international trading, urbanization, political and economic
developments, literacy rates, the concentration of world languages,
and many more important and always timely subjects. Coverage of
Africa, South Asia, Eastern Europe, and every other part of the
world is revisited and updated, making this the most up-to-date
atlas of world history available, in addition to being the most
complete.
A comprehensive index of more than 8,000 entries includes numerous
alternative name forms used over the centuries. The Atlas of World
History closes with a bibliography that provides a booklist for
suggested further reading. Equally well-suited for a general
audience and students of history or international relations, the
Atlas of World History continues Oxford's presence as the premier
publisher of world atlases.

sections to ensure that advice on management represents state of
