Cost Management: A Strategic Emphasis, by Blocher/Juras/Smith is
dedicated to answering the question: Why Cost Management? It
answers this question by providing cost-management tools and
techniques needed to support an organization's competitiveness,
improve its performance, and help the organization accomplish its
strategy. The text is written to help students understand the
broader role of cost accounting in helping an organization succeed
- not just the measurement of costs. While the text does include
coverage of traditional costing topics (e.g., job-order costing,
process costing, service-department cost allocations, and
accounting for joint and by-products), its primary strength is the
linkage of these topics, as well as more contemporary topics, to an
organization's strategy. And with Connect, an easy-to-use homework
and learning management solution that embeds learning science and
award-winning adaptive tools to improve student outcomes,
instructors receive a course solution that includes high quality
content and assessment paired with assignments that help students
build the skills they need to succeed.

Charlie Parker is an African Gray Parrot. He entered the life of
Debby and Michael Smith three decades ago when, at the insistence
of their young son, Eli, they brought him home from a downtown
Manhattan bird shop. He has been an integral, and voluble, member
of the family ever since. Charlie's vocabulary is astonishingly
diverse and colorful. He can be demanding, squawking imperiously
"Clean my cage" or "Want some water." He can be brutally direct,
warning an aggressive business associate who had been yelling at
Debby "I'm going to kick your ass, you sonofabitch." He can be
mischievous, making meowing noises to a neighbor's confused dog in
the elevator. Charlie is a survivor. He ended up recovering on an
IV after the collapse of the World Trade Center filled the Smiths'
apartment with toxic dust. He is often an entertainer, with a
songbook that extends across "Home on the Range" to "The Yellow
Rose of Texas." And most of the time he is affectionate, often
hanging upside down against the side of his cage and demanding to
be tickled. In encountering Charlie's tales in this concise and
charming book, we come to realize that parrots are intelligent and
loving creatures, to an extent that, as the renowned avian
scientist Professor Irene Pepperberg points out in her
introduction, they cannot meaningfully be owned by humans but only
enjoyed as companions.

he? Yellena plays Howard like a fish, first cajoling then trying to
blackmail him into agreeing to award a penalty to the Azerbaijan
team at the evening's match. And just when Howard thinks he's in
control, Yellena springs another surprise...-1 woman, 1 man

A powerful and tense three hander based on the author's research
while living in Thailand. Although written in the early nineties it
is still topical today with themes of greed, morality and do the
ends justify the means. Having made his name as a comedy writer
this was the first of the author`s equally successful thrillers.-1

A boldly illustrated tale of acceptance and change. “Wolf
wasn’t happy being Wolf. When he looked in the mirror he looked
BAD. And when he looked bad, he felt bad, and when he felt bad, he
acted bad.” Wolf wants to change but he’s not sure how. He goes
on a journey, meeting members of the animal kingdom that experience
change; a chameleon, a salamander, a seal, a parrotfish and a
flatfish, to name a few. With their help he undergoes a magnificent
transition... This book is ultimately about being able to be
yourself and could be used in PSHE sessions about acceptance and
appearance. It would also be a fun, cross-curricular link to
metamorphosis or life cycles in science. -- Reading Zone Wolf is
confused and disappointed with himself, but he is guided through
the jungle, the forest, the sea and the sky by other creatures who
show him that he's not alone, that everyone has a bit of a battle
to fight. -- School Reading List

Python code. Readers will develop enough background to use the
official ARM reference documentation for their own projects. With
Programming with 64-Bit ARM Assembly Language as your guide you'll
study how to read, reverse engineer and hack machine code, then be
able to apply these new skills to study code examples and take
control of both your ARM devices' hardware and software. What
You'll Learn Make operating system calls from assembly language and
include other software libraries in your projects Interface apps to
hardware devices such as the Raspberry Pi GPIO ports Reverse
engineer and hack code Use the official ARM reference documentation

Maize is one of the most important and widely grown cereal crops in
the world and is a staple food for almost a billion people,
particularly in the developing world. It has been estimated that
maize yields need to increase by 60% by 2050. There is an urgent
need to increase yields in the face of such challenges as climate
change, threats from pests and diseases and the need to make
cultivation more resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing on an
international range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways
of improving the cultivation of maize at each step in the value
chain, from breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 1 reviews
research on breeding and its use in improving nutritional quality
and agronomic performance. It then goes on to discuss the
challenges in translating these advances into effective outcomes
for smallholders in the developing world. Achieving sustainable
cultivation of maize Volume 1: From improved varieties to local
applications will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in
universities, government and other research centres and companies
involved in maize cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume 2 which
reviews improvements in cultivation techniques as well as the
management of pests and diseases.
