Free Download British Housebuilders: History & Analysis By Fred Wellings(auth.)
2006 | 298 Pages | ISBN: 1405149183 | PDF | 3 MB
British Housebuilders is the first comprehensive account of the corporate history of the twentieth-century speculative housebuilding industry - the firms that `supplied` those houses and the entrepreneurs who created those firms.The transition from the local housebuilders of the 1930s, through the regional diversification of the 1960s, to the national housebuilders of today is charted via a series of industry league tables. The rationale for the growth in national firms is analysed. The conventional explanation of economies of scale is rejected: instead, the stock market is found to play a key role both in facilitating acquisitions and in demanding growth from its constituent companies.The supply-side analysis also addresses the frequent corporate failures: succession issues, lack of focus and the 1974 and 1990 recessions have played their part in equal measure.British Housebuilders provides the first opportunity to review the evidence drawn from a century of speculative housebuilding; it is only with this historical perspective that sound judgements can be made on the corporate role in housebuilding.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-31): Chapter 2 The Pre?war Housebuilders (pages 34-54): Chapter 3 War and Building Controls (pages 55-61): Chapter 4 The Post?war Housing Boom 1955-1973 (pages 66-80): Chapter 5 Recession and Recovery, 1973-1988 (pages 82-91): Chapter 6 Recession and Recovery Again, 1989-2004 (pages 93-104): Chapter 7 Market Share Through the Century: A Summary (pages 105-111): Chapter 8 Who Were the Builders?

Free Download Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks By Brian Loughman, Richard Sibery(auth.)
2012 | 417 Pages | ISBN: 1118011368 | PDF | 4 MB
As businesses continue to expand globally into new and emerging markets, bribery and corruption risks have increased exponentially. Bribery and Corruption offers a comprehensive look at this growing problem, and at the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other international anti-bribery and corruption conventions. Presenting hypothetical examples of situations companies will face, along with practical solutions, the book offers detailed global guidance on a region and country-specific basis. The FCPA prohibits US companies and their subsidiaries from bribing foreign officials, either directly or indirectly through intermediaries, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. It also requires companies to keep accurate records of all business transactions and maintain an effective system of internal accounting controls. Internationally, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD's) anti-bribery convention has been adopted by 38 countries and creates legally binding standards related to bribery of foreign public officials. Written by renowned accounting fraud experts Richard A. Sibery and Brian P. Loughman, and providing an introduction and overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and international bribery laws, Bribery and Corruption considers: How to conduct FCPA risk assessments and investigations How to consider FCPA specific financial controls How to implement an FCPA compliance program and how to measure FCPA compliance The risk of bribery and corruption continues to be an area of concern for companies around the world, but armed with Bribery and Corruption, it is easier than ever to understand the challenges that exist and how to deal with them.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-7): Chapter 2 Overview of FCPA (pages 9-27): Chapter 3 The U.K. Bribery Act and International Bribery and Corruption Initiatives (pages 29-45): Chapter 4 Compliance Programs (pages 47-73): Chapter 5 Policies and Procedures (pages 75-112): Chapter 6 Risk Assessments (pages 113-127): Chapter 7 Monitoring (pages 129-151): Chapter 8 Anti?Corruption Due Diligence (pages 153-175): Chapter 9 Investigations (pages 177-224): Chapter 10 Regional Considerations for Bribery and Corruption Risks (pages 225-293): Chapter 11 Industry Considerations for Bribery and Corruption Risks (pages 295-385):

The genetic information being unlocked by advances in genomic and high throughput technologies is rapidly revolutionizing our understanding of developmental processes in bovine species. This information is allowing researchers unprecedented insight into the genetic basis of key traits. Bovine Genomics is the first book to bring together and synthesize the information learned through the bovine genome sequencing project and look at its practical application to cattle and dairy production. Bovine Genomics opens with foundational chapters on the domestication of cattle and traditional Mendelian genetics. Building on these chapters, coverage rapidly moves to quantitative genetics and the advances of whole genome technologies. Significant coverage is given to such topics as epigenetics, mapping quantitative trail loci, genome-wide association studies and genomic selection in cattle breeding. The book is a valuable synthesis of the field written by a global team of leading researchers.Providing wide-ranging coverage of the topic, Bovine Genomic, is an essential guide to the field. The basic and applied science will be of use to researchers, breeders, and advanced students.Content: Chapter 1 The Origins of Cattle (pages 1-10): Matthew D. Teasdale and Daniel G.

2006 | 774 Pages | ISBN: 3527310886 | PDF | 8 MB
This first handbook to integrate developmental and cellular aspects combines the different structural and functional features involved in the regulation of brain perfusion and neuronal function. It highlights pharmacological and biomedical applications with sections on drug delivery and disease-related states as well as explaining in detail the role of astrocytes, shown to be an essential link between neurons and cerebral blood vessels. In addition the book studies how the structural elements interact in response to the dynamics of neuronal activities, necessitating adaptive mechanism of the interface. A significant part of the book describes new approaches to how the barrier can be surmised for drug delivery and how it can be mimicked by artificial in vitro systems for drug testing. Finally, the involvement of the barrier in brain diseases is considered, focusing on inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders of the brain. Covering basic knowledge as well as specific information dealing with very recent progress in blood-brain interface research, this book will be of interest to a broad audience.
