A treasure of a book for all "insightful minds that are not afraid to ask why."

Ikerd combines an engaging story of personal transformation with sweeping analysis and a call for social change based on shared insights into what we know in our hearts to be real, true, right, and good – our common sense.

State-of-the-art coverage of compact heat exchanger design and technology.

This book, a special supplemental issue of the International Journal of Heat Exchangers, contains a selection of papers originally presented at the Fifth International Conference on Enhanced, Compact, and Ultra-Compact Heat Exchangers: Science, Engineering and Technology, which was held in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada in September 2005. These papers represent well the width and depth of the conference, and reflect the state-of-the-art in compact heat exchanger research, design, and technology.

The principles of accounting for inside theft and the basic logic and language of auditing for fraud.

A revised and condensed version of the 1960 classic in which Cardwell introduces a comprehensive system for the detection and deterrence of "inside theft." Inside theft, an accounting term grounded in the proprietorship equation, is defined as "the fraudulent transfer of value from owners, undertaken by employees for their own benefits or that of their accomplices." Inside theft consists primarily of the theft act, but is usually combined with concealment manipulations and conversional manipulations. The impact of each of these distinct phases on the books and records of the firm - the jurisdictional purview of the accountant - are the source of auditable evidence. While theft acts, concealments, and conversions can be combined in infinite variety, the principles of audit surveillance remain timeless and immutable.
