Finance & Economics Corporate Governance and Accountability, 4e Jill Solomon 978-1-118-44910-3 / 1-118-44910-X 480 pp. Pub: 12/04/13 Accounting Special Topics The ongoing financial crisis has resulted in an increased emphasis on corporate governance within businesses. It has also led to a rapid increase in the number of courses taught at universities and business schools around the world on corporate governance. New courses are springing up on corporate governance-related issues, with corporate governance as a subject in its own right becoming central to many business-related degree courses. • Provides a full discussion of corporate governance

issues taking the broadest view of the corporate governance agenda.

• Draws on the extensive and original research carried out by the author and demonstrates the close relationship between academic research and professional practice.

• Contains numerous contemporary illustrations and case studies, including a chapter dedicated to cases of corporate governance failure.

• Focuses on the relevance of corporate governance reform throughout the world and the need for global convergence.

• Highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility to companies, institutional investors and society as a whole.

• Questions for reflection and discussion.

• Chapters moulded around a one semester specialist module in corporate governance for students on any business-related undergraduate or postgraduate programme.

• Short case studies for discussion and debate.

Jill Solomon is Professor of Accounting and Financial Management, BISA, Henley Business School, University of Reading, and previously at King’s College, London, Cardiff University and Sheffield University.

Analysis of Economic Data, 4e Gary Koop 978-1-118-47253-8 / 1-118-47253-5 272 pp. Pub: 22/03/13 Econometrics Analysis of Economic Data has established a clear position in the market. There are many very well-established econometrics textbooks but few, if any, introduce students to basic econometric techniques and show the reader how to apply these techniques in the context of real-world empirical problems. It has become firmly established as a successful textbook for students studying data analysis whose primary interest is not in econometrics, statistics or mathematics. • A clear departure from traditional econometric textbooks,

relying less on mathematics and more on verbal intuition and graphical methods for understanding.

• Covers most of the tools and models used in modern econometrics research e.g. correlation, regression and extensions for time-series methods.

• Contains extensive use of real data examples and involves readers in hands-on computer work.

• A new chapter 8 will be added covering several limited dependent variable models. Models to be covered include: logit, probit, ordered logit and probit, and count data model.

• The use of econometrics software packages will be introduced in an appendix to chapter 2 which will expand the coverage in the text beyond the use of spreadsheet software.

Gary Koop is Professor of Economics at the University of Strathclyde. He previously held professorial positions at the Universities of Toronto, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Leicester. He has also held academic posts at the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, Boston University and Queen's University, Canada. Gary is the associate editor of the Journal of Econometrics, Econometrics Reviews, the Journal of Empirical Finance, Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics and the Journal of Applied Econometrics.

Advanced Financial Reporting and Analysis John Dunn, Margaret Stewart 978-0-470-97360-8 / 0-470-97360-9 384 pp. Pub: 07/06/13 Financial Accounting One of the only advanced textbooks on the market that is easily accessible to lecturers and students without needing a professional accountancy qualification. Complements John Dunn's previous book: Financial Reporting and Analysis but can be used as a separate textbook.

This market is poorly served at present. Existing textbooks are aimed more at the professional market, which have a different emphasis. Professional texts tend to focus on the “hard sums” that are examined in professional examinations. While there is a significant element of that in university courses, the emphasis is generally on softer issues. The emphasis on research output in academic departments has led to a situation where the main route into teaching is via a PhD rather than a professional accountancy qualification. Dunn & Stewart will deal with this by explaining the material in a way that does not require a professional qualification to explain and amplify, thereby making it accessible to lecturers as well as students, and will draw on research papers as and when appropriate, in recognition of the background of those who make recommendation decisions. The spread of International Financial Reporting Standards means that it is accessible to readers from elsewhere in the EU and further afield.

John Dunn is Lecturer in financial accounting, auditing and corporate governance at the University of Strathclyde. He has lectured previously at Napier University and Bell College of Technology. John has been an examiner for various professional bodies and has written material for both ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants). He is also the author of several books including Financial Reporting and Analysis, Wiley, 2010; Auditing Theory and Practice 2e, Prentice Hall, 1996; and Auditing Explained, Koogan Page, 1989. Margaret Stewart is Lecturer in financial reporting and auditing at the University of Strathclyde. She started her career in accounting with Ernst and Young and subsequently held the positions of audit supervisor and financial controller at different companies before becoming a university lecturer. Margaret has also authored material for CIMA and has been heavily involved in the development of business plans for a wide range of small to medium-sized business start-ups.

Corporate Financial Reporting and Analysis, 3e S. David Young, Jacob Cohen 978-1-118-47055-8 / 1-118-47055-9 496 pp. Pub: 22/03/13 Financial Accounting Corporate Financial Reporting and Analysis: A Global Perspective 3e is an introductory textbook on financial reporting for MBA students.

The Strategic Management of Health Care Organizations, 7e Peter M. Ginter 978-1-118-46646-9 / 1-118-46646-2 496 pp. Pub: 15/04/13 Public Health Services & Policy Introduces students and practitioners to strategic thinking, strategic planning and strategic momentum. The leading authority in the US, this highly successful text demonstrates how health care managers can become strategic thinkers with the crucial skills to evaluate their fast-changing environment.

A structured strategic management approach is what's needed to tackle the revolutionary change the health care system has been experiencing. Today, health care organizations have almost universally embraced the strategic perspective first developed in the business sector and now have developed strategic management processes that are uniquely their own. Health care leaders have found that strategic thinking, planning, and managing strategic momentum are essential for coping with the dynamics of the health care industry. Strategic Management has become the single clearest manifestation of effective leadership of health care organizations.

The 7th edition of this leading text has been revised and updated to include a greater focus on the global analysis of industry and competition; and analysis of the internal environment. It provides guidance on strategic planning, analysis of the health services environment (both internal and external) and lessons on implementation. It also looks at organizational capability, sustainability, CSR and the sources of organizational inertia and competency traps.

• New key feature is the transfer of the cases to a new, comprehensive Instructor Website featuring all case studies, power-point slides, chapter by chapter questions and answers, lecture notes, and other sources. The website will be updated periodically and will be a highly functional, accessible and useful resource for Instructors.

Enterprise in Action: A Guide To Entrepreneurship Peter Lawrence 978-1-119-94528-4 / 1-119-94528-3 272 pp. Pub: 13/05/13 Business & Management This welcome new guide to the world of entrepreneurship offers invaluable lessons for the student and the practical entrepreneur alike.

The Marketing Pathfinder David Stewart, Michael Saren 978-1-119-96176-5 / 1-119-96176-9 288 pp. Pub: 11/02/13 Marketing/Management This new Pathfinder, like its predecessor in strategy, with its unique combination of key concepts and micro-cases, is a refreshing contrast to traditional marketing textbooks. It is designed for the executive/MBA course, and offers students an effective way of contextualising the marketing decisions they will have to make in the business world.

Marketing management is concerned with managing demand for the product/service offering. Therefore, by understanding the dynamics of the added value components of the offering, especially product development and pricing strategies, marketers can enhance the customer experience. Consequently, a clear understanding of the customer, along with their needs and wants, allows for segmentation of the market and positioning of the offering. The task then is to communicate the offering by developing a brand image, including awareness and knowledge, and ensuring that the offering is available through appropriate distribution channels.

Within this title, each chapter presents core concepts, frameworks, and tools, followed by five or more ‘micro’-cases to allow students to apply the principles. The cases, unlike the normal ‘Harvard’ type, are open-ended and allow students the opportunity to research additional information. From this, along with classroom discussion, students are able to articulate and defend a position, thus allowing for strategy as practice. The emphasis of the book is not to view the reader as a consumer but to allow them to take responsibility and ownership of marketing decisions based on their own reading of the selected micro-cases and any additional information they have gained from their own research. Therefore the text is not prescriptive, with a one size fits all toolkit, but a dynamic, living document.

David Stewart, Senior Lecturer, Victoria Management School, has twenty years teaching marketing management to both undergraduate and MBA classes. He is also involved with executive development and has conducted courses for organisations such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy and Mather, Television New Zealand, and the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand. Michael Saren is Professor of Marketing at Leicester University.

Risk Propagation Assessment for Network Security: Application to Airport Communication Network Design M. Ben Mahmoud, M. Larrieu, M. Pirovano 978-1-84821-454-5 / 1-84821-454-5 144 pp. Pub: 21/03/13 Communication System Security This book deals with risk assessment methodologies for network architecture design. The main goal is to present and to illustrate an innovative risk propagation-based quantitative assessment tool. This original approach aims to help network designers and security administrators to design and to build more robust and secure network topologies. As an implementation case study, we consider an aeronautical network based on the AeroMACS (Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System) technology. AeroMACS has been identified as the wireless access network for airport surface communications which will be soon deployed in European and American airports mainly for communications between aircraft and airlines. It is based on the IEEE 802.16-2009 standard also known as WiMAX.

The first part is an introduction to information system security risk management process. The second part presents the different risk management methodologies that can be used currently (quantitative and qualitative ones). In the third section, our original quantitative network risk assessment model based on risk propagation is introduced. Finally, the last section presents a network case study of the future airport AeroMACS system. This example illustrates how our quantitative risk assessment proposal can provide help to network security designers for the decision making process and how the security of the entire network may be hence improved.

Research in this area has undergone an explosive expansion in recent years because of the potential metal nanoparticles have for controlling, manipulating, and transmitting light on the nanometer scale, at dimensions much smaller than can be accessed using conventional optical components. Extensive research effort is motivated by a strikingly diverse array of potential applications, including chemical and biochemical sensing, new forms of microscopy and lithography, improvement in the performance of solar cells and light-emitting devices, and the achievement of a negative refractive index at optical frequencies.

This book provides an explanation and overview of the techniques used to model, make, and measure metal nanoparticles, detailing results obtained and what they mean. The book then moves into more advanced topics, including the properties of coupled metal nanoparticles, the nonlinear optical response of metal nanoparticles, and the phenomena that arise when light-emitting materials are coupled to metal nanoparticles, finishing with an overview of key potential applications of metal nanoparticles. Throughout, this book emphasises fundamental physical understanding and offers explanations of computational and experimental techniques supporting this basic understanding, giving readers a solid grounding in the field.

RF Circuit Simulation: Theory and Applications Yu Zhu 978-1-118-23304-7 / 1-118-23304-2 375 pp. Pub: 15/03/13 Circuit Theory & Design As the usage of wireless handset devices increases, the requirement on wireless design keeps growing. The design of RF integrated circuits (RFIC) is the most challenging part in modern wireless system design, because it involves the complicated nature of distortion and noise. To tackle these challenges, RF circuit designers relies on the state-of-art electronic design automation tools for design and verification.

Without a deep understanding of the theory of RF circuit simulation, it is very hard to fully utilize the tools, to understand the simulation results, and to identify the issue in their design.

This book provides analog/RF designers with technical insight into RF circuit simulation theory, methodologies, and algorithms. Based on the authors’ years of experience in circuit simulation, this book discusses the theoretical formulation of circuit equations, time-varying systems, cyclo-stationary noise, phase-noise, and nonlinearity; it then applies the theory to RF building blocks, such as LNA, mixer, PA, VCOs, and transmitters to explain their key performance metrics for a deep understanding of their physical meaning; and it demonstrates to designers how to utilize circuit simulation tools to simulate their circuit designs and interpret the simulation results.

This book will be useful for all RFIC designers around the world in order for them to understand RF circuit simulators and make full use of simulation tools. The SpectreRF circuit simulator is widely used by analog/RF IC designers and is purchased by more than 250 analog/RF design companies. The book is aimed at all the analog/RF designers. The book is also targeted at CAD researchers and developers in academic institutes and EDA industries, and application engineers in RFIC communities. Since SpectreRF is also the tool used in the university as the class project, the book would also be used as an RF design textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students.

Dr. Yu Zhu is with Cadence Design Systems where he leads and manages the core RF simulation team. He has contributed a number of book chapters and has published over 30 peer reviewed articles in various IEEE journals. Dr. Xiaolue Lai is a Member of the Consulting Staff at Cadence Systems.

Mechnical Engineering Understanding Aerodynamics: Arguing from the Real Physics J. Douglas Mclean 978-1-119-96751-4 / 1-119-96751-1 592 pp. Pub: 16/11/12 Aeronautic & Aerospace Engineering Based on the author's decades of industrial experience with Boeing, this book helps students and practicing engineers to gain a greater physical understanding of aerodynamics. Relying on clear physical arguments and examples, Mclean provides a fresh approach to this sometimes contentious subject without shying away from addressing "real" aerodynamic situations as opposed to the oversimplified ones often used for mathematical convenience. Motivated by the belief that engineering practice is enhanced in the long run by a robust understanding of the basics as well as real cause-and-effect relationships that lie behind the theory, he provides intuitive physical interpretations and explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions and misinterpretations, and building upon the contrasts provided by wrong explanations to strengthen understanding of the right ones.

• Provides intuitive physical interpretations and explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions and misinterpretations.

• Offers new insights to some familiar topics, for example, what the Biot-Savart law really means and why it causes so much confusion, what "Reynolds number" and "incompressible flow" really mean, and a real physical explanation for how an airfoil produces lift.

• Addresses "real" aerodynamic situations as opposed to the oversimplified ones frequently used for mathematical convenience, and omits mathematical details where the physical understanding can be conveyed without them.

Metal Failures: Mechanisms, Analysis, Prevention, 2e A. J. McEvily, Jirapong Kasivitamnuay 978-1-118-16396-2 / 1-118-16396-6 352 pp. Pub: 03/04/13 Failure Fracture Failure analysis is of critical importance in the world today. This is due in part to the high cost in lives and money of catastrophic failures that may have been prevented. Failures effect structures in a broad range of industries from machinery to aircraft, building structures, and as we've seen recently nuclear power facilities. To analyze failure, engineers and designers need to understand not only what happened but also how, from a structural point-of-view, the failure occurred. An outcome of a successful investigation may lead to improvements in design and manufacture which preclude a particular type of accident from happening again. An investigation may also lead to a proper assignment of responsibility either to the operator, the manufacturer, or the maintenance and inspection organization involved.

McEvily's book is one of the only available that covers not only how failure occurs but also the examination methods developed to expose the reasons for failure. The new edition will contain updates of all chapters plus new coverage of; elastic behavior and plastic deformation, localized necking, the phenomenological aspects of fatigue, fatigue crack propagation, alloys and coatings, tensors and tensor notations, and much more.

• Revision of a well-known classic that is considered to have the most comprehensive coverage of both the "how" and "why" of metal failure.

• Features separate chapters on key failure mechanisms and includes excellent case studies and examples.

• Covers statistical data, report writing, legal testimony, and more.

Reconstructing Project Management Peter W.G. Morris 978-0-470-65907-6 / 0-470-65907-6 400 pp. Pub: 24/06/13 Construction Management The book is designed to offer a thoughtful commentary on project management as it has been practiced and taught over the last 60 or more years, and as it may be over the next 20 to 40, drawing on examples from several industry sectors.

Its thesis is that ‘it all depends on how you define the subject’ – that much of our present thinking about PM as traditionally defined is boring, sometimes conceptually weak or even flawed, and/or of limited application, whereas in reality what it can offer is exciting, challenging and potentially enormously useful. The book explores this hypothesis drawing on leading scholarship and practitioner perceptions.

Section 1 sets the scene – the purpose and context of the book. Section 2 covers the origins of modern project management and the limitations of the traditional project management model. Section 3 dissects many of the challenges still facing project management, in doing so it examines many of the more difficult, interesting and intractable issues in the discipline today. Section 4 focuses on opportunities open to the discipline in the (increasingly challenging) years ahead.

Weisberg 978-0-470-89044-8 / 0-470-89044-4 320 pp. Pub: 15/04/13 Probability & Statistics "... the quality of the proposal serves as a highly convincing evidence of the author's mastery of the subject." Necip Doganaksoy (General Electric Research).

In this book, the author explains how the tacit principle of "willful ignorance" has led to a deep and troubling divide between qualitative and quantitative modes of research that will increasingly constrain scientific progress, and can only be bridged by a broadened conception of statistical methodology.

• A clearly written introductory chapter lays out the author’s provocative thesis.

• Numerous interesting examples, both hypothetical and real, illustrate and support the main premise.

• A non-technical historical survey of core statistical concepts views current statistical thinking from a unique perspective.

• Speculations about the possible future evolution of statistics are envisioned.

• A bold but well-reasoned prescription for an expanded research framework grounded in causal (counterfactual) ideas is proposed.

Of particular interest to clinicians (both practicing and in research) who welcome the book's message of observational statistics; for biomedical and social science researchers and students, as well as business leaders and policy-makers; for professionals in statistics and related fields; as supplemental reading in general statistics and data analysis courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; for the "intellectually rich" who feel either disenfranchised from or intrigued by the field of statistics.
