Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working
to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality,
colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works
can delight another generation of children.
Effective executive coaching is accepted as one of the critical factors in developing successful leaders and teams in the best performing organizations. This book steps beyond the notion of a prescriptive formula that can be applied to deliver successful coaching every time. It will develop your coaching capability, present an overview of best practice coaching, and provide insights into the contemporary personal and organizational challenges that define the context of coaching.
The study of nonunique factorizations of elements into irreducible
elements in commutative rings and monoids has emerged as an
independent area of research only over the last 30 years and has
enjoyed a recent flurry of activity and advancement. This book
presents the proceedings of two recent meetings that gathered key
researchers from around the world to review recent major results.
The first seven chapters demonstrate the diversity of approaches
taken in studying nonunique factorizations and serve both as an
introduction to factorization theory and as a survey of current
trends and results. The remaining chapters reflect research
motivated by arithmetical properties of commutative rings and
monoids.
This is the second of two volumes of a state-of-the-art survey
article collection which originates from three commutative algebra
sessions at the 2009 Fall Southeastern American Mathematical
Society Meeting at Florida Atlantic University. The articles reach
into diverse areas of commutative algebra and build a bridge
between Noetherian and non-Noetherian commutative algebra. These
volumes present current trends in two of the most active areas of
commutative algebra: non-noetherian rings (factorization, ideal
theory, integrality), and noetherian rings (the local theory,
graded situation, and interactions with combinatorics and
geometry). This volume contains surveys on aspects of closure
operations, finiteness conditions and factorization. Closure
operations on ideals and modules are a bridge between noetherian
and nonnoetherian commutative algebra. It contains a nice guide to
closure operations by Epstein, but also contains an article on test
ideals by Schwede and Tucker and one by Enescu which discusses the
action of the Frobenius on finite dimensional vector spaces both of
which are related to tight closure. Finiteness properties of rings
and modules or the lack of them come up in all aspects of
commutative algebra. However, in the study of non-noetherian rings
it is much easier to find a ring having a finite number of prime
ideals. The editors have included papers by Boynton and
Sather-Wagstaff and by Watkins that discuss the relationship of
rings with finite Krull dimension and their finite extensions.
Finiteness properties in commutative group rings are discussed in
Glaz and Schwarz's paper. And Olberding's selection presents us
with constructions that produce rings whose integral closure in
their field of fractions is not finitely generated. The final three
papers in this volume investigate factorization in a broad sense.
The first paper by Celikbas and Eubanks-Turner discusses the
partially ordered set of prime ideals of the projective line over
the integers. The editors have also included a paper on zero
divisor graphs by Coykendall, Sather-Wagstaff, Sheppardson and
Spiroff. The final paper, by Chapman and Krause, concerns
non-unique factorization.
This book is intended as an exposition of a particular theory of
time in the sense of an interrelated set of attempted solutions to
philosophical problems about it. Generally speaking there are two
views about time held by philosophers and some scientists
interested in philosophical issues. The first called the A-theory
(after McTaggart's expression A-determinations for the properties
of being past, present or future) is often thought to be closer to
our commonsense view of time or to the concept of time presupposed
by ordinary language. It includes at least the following theses,
(a) Logic ought really to include tensed quantifiers for existence
on one of its important usages means, present existence. More
generally, we can't reduce all tensed locutions to tenseless ones.
(b) The distinction between past, present and future is an
objective one. It is not, for example, dependent on our
consciousness of change; some A-theorists hold also, that the
distinction, in effect, is an absolute one.

The best performing organisations recognise that effective
executive coaching is a key factor in developing successful leaders
and teams. Having worked directly with more than 40% of the Fortune
top 100 global corporations for more than fifteen years, the
authors have accumulated a practical insight for delivering
enduring executive development. This book steps beyond the notion
of a prescriptive formula that can be applied to deliver successful
development every time. It presents unabridged accounts reflecting
both success and failure from a range of diverse international
executive coaching assignments. It will develop your coaching
ability and provide an insight into the contemporary personal and
organisational challenges that define the context for coaching.
This is a truly comprehensive account of executive coaching across
the world.
Melodic content swirls around the human condition. How do we deal
with loss? What is the true value and balance of extreme wealth
when so few have so much and so many have so little and suffer so
harshly! What can be done about our planets inevitable decline and
the societal forces that seem to be hastening her demise? Of Human
Maladies and Other Heartfelt Emotions considers these questions and
others that focus on the reality of the human condition. Richard T.
Chapman's work builds on the idea that poetry requires a certain
semblance of rhyme and a resulting conclusion of relevant thought
and coherent reason, no matter the interpreter. In these verses,
the poet shares a wide range of fundamental ideas and observations.
He firmly believes that humanity consists of 90% morally stable,
caring and compassionate beings, with 10% miscreants of which 1%
deserve a sentence to the ?Atticus Finch? decree (Ref: Poem Pg.
22).
