Brazil Company Handbook 2000-2001 (Brazil Company Handbook, 2000-2001)

Book Description

This book documents the experiences of metadata creators (both catalogers and indexers), library administrators, and educators who are actively engaged in projects that organize Internet resources for educational purposes. It examines the status quo of cataloging Internet resources, explores the relationship between traditional cataloging practices and Internet cataloging, introduces a number of educationally focused metadata schemes, and examines theoretical and practice aspects of metadata in relation to today's evolving Internet-based educational terrain.

Do The Glory of Metadata.......2001-09-15

The Internet is a great and wonderful thing, but its vast potential for education remains almost untapped. It is essential that all that information out there be cataloged and organized through the use of metadata if it is really to become as useful as it can and should be. This book suggests some of the ways that imaginative people have come up with to do just that.
In a series of essays, the book examines projects that have used the Internet in a synergistic way. One essay, by James Briggs Murray, shows how the resources of a top library of African and African American studies were made available to the public for the first time through the Internet. Another, by Amy C. Smith, shows how various Internet resources on Greek sculpture were combined into a digital catalog that allows the user to pull together, for perhaps the first time since antiquity, fragments of sculpture long separated. A third article, by Richard Giordano, discusses ways of uniting totally disparate types of information in a Web-based environment, of great use for teachers, concerned with best educational practices.
These and many other essays in this book give both the particulars of metadata creation, and, more importantly, inspiration. The book will be of use to all educators, catalogers, and anyone interested in organizing Internet information.

Book Description

On-line and off-line quality control are the two methods used to discern a products reliability of quality. Though they are disparate techniques, both methods are used to achieve the same result. This introductory textbook integrates the two techniques to present a wide coverage of statistical methods of quality control. The text is compact, stressing the key ideas and concepts rather than trying to cover each method in complete depth. Statistical Aspects of Quality Control is an excellent starting point for a student interested in learning more about the field of statistical quality control. References and suggested readings are included at the end of each chapter.

* Presents statistical quality control in a compact fashion that stresses key ideas and concepts
* Uses the concept of Average Run Length to compare the different control charts, such as Shewhart, moving average, and cusum
* Introduces the Taguchi approach to quality design
* Includes information on acceptance sampling
* Concludes each chapter with final comments, references, and examples to illustrate the methods discussed

This work establishes the existence of a sophisticated and smoothly functioning system of financial markets in the mercantile states of northwestern Europe throughout the 1700s. Based on computer analysis of thousands of price quotes from the financial press of the eighteenth century, the results should force both historians and economists to reevaluate their understanding of the evolution of financial markets and their importance for the economic developments of that era.

THE ADULT LEARNER, SIXTH EDITION.......2006-02-25

This book was in excellent shape. I received it sooner than I expected.

A classic, but it does not use its own advice........2005-07-03

Malcolm S. Knowles is the founder of the theory of Andragogy (Adult Education), and I agree with him on many of the points he makes.

The problem is that the book seems to have been written for academics to accept Malcolm's theories, and not written for students who wanted to learn to be better teachers in Adult Education.

Unless you have to use this book for a textbook for a class, I would not buy it as your first introduction to Adult Education. I'm not sure which book I would buy, but someone must have written a better one to actually learn the subject!

Andragogy for the 21st century.......2005-03-02

Since the term "andragogy" was first coined, several theoretical schools have developed around the topic of adult learning. This book provides a context for Knowles' ideas about andragogy and demonstrates the relevance of his ideas in the 21st century.

Unreadable.......2004-02-08

This book was the text for an adult learning course, and all 300+ students judged the book to be incomprehensible. So many complaints were received that the instructor apologized, saying it was the only book the school could find. There is good information in this book, but you need dynamite to unearth it. I have a better than average vocabulary, but I had to keep a dictionary by my side as I read, and even then I found words from the text for which I could find no definition. Some chapters had to be read 4 times before I understood the authors' message. Reading this book was a guarantee for a nap or a headache. Please, somebody stop this book before it kills again!

very comprehensive look at adult learning theory.......2001-05-11

This book is like a one-stop shopping guide to Adult education. It is so comprehensive that I doubt it leaves out one development in the history of adult education. My only warning is that the opening chapters which basically trace many theories of learning (both adult and traditional) are hard to get through -- it reads more like a research paper that summarizes every major educational theory since the beginning of time. But, if you don't want to know that much, you can simply skip these chapters and get right to the meat of the adult learning theories which are more appropos. For those who need a quick primer on learning theories, you'll love the first few chapters for their abundance of quick summary information. A useful guide to adult education.

Promotion information that works.......2006-04-20

Reviewed by William E. Cooper for Reader Views (4/06)

If you write, professionally speak, or are in any business requiring you to market yourself or your products - or both - this book is for you. When I recently completed writing my book, "Leading Beyond Tradition," I learned marketing from a multi-faceted approach. I researched considerable information, visited many Internet sites, and bought a number of books in order to determine the best way to market. After reading this book, this is a one-stop shop, a complete guide for virtually all elements of successful marketing. The ideas and recommendations contained in the book, complete with examples and cases, will give the reader the tools necessary to win. I learned a great deal.

This is an excellent book, comprehensive, descriptive, and educational. I highly recommend it to anyone in the professional or educational field. This is a must for your library. It's certainly a welcome addition to mine. Well done Mr. Mersereau

Book Description

Established by the Mexican government in 1965 to provide employment for Mexican citizens in the cities along the U.S. border, the maquiladora program is now one of the fastest growing industries in that area. This pioneering volume presents an in-depth examination of the maquiladora phenomenon written by experts on the subject. The contributors focus on three vital dimensions of the maquiladora issue: the impact of the maquilas on workers and economic development in both the United States and Mexico; the success or failure of the maquilas on an industry by industry basis; and the strategic aspects of the maquiladora program from geopoltical and macroeconomic perspectives. The controversial aspects of the maquilas--their impact on local pollution, unemployment, and labor market exploitation--also receive extended coverage. Divided into six sections, the volume begins with descriptive essays on the history and current status of maquilas and the special provisions of U.S. and Mexican laws dealing with production sharing. The bulk of the volume is devoted to an analysis of the industry from various perspectives. The contributors examine the impact of maquilas on United States and Mexican border regions; describe the financial issues involved, including debt-equity swaps and other types of foreign investment; explore the use of maquiladoras by non-American countries; and look at the impact of maquiladoras on Mexico's balance of payments. A series of chapters assess the impact of maquilas in particular industries, including the automobile and apparel industries. Finally, the contributors turn toward the future of the maquiladora industry, addressing key issues such as the sociological impact of the maquiladoras, and the managerial issues facing maquiladora executives responsible for training and motivating workers in a multicultural environment. Scholars in Latin American studies, and development economics will find this volume a timely and provocative look at a subject of profound economic significance for both Mexico and the United States.
