This text aims to simplify the creation of a collection development policy. It covers all types and sizes of libraries and is a comprehensive, useful, and up-to-date guide available to librarians and library science students.

Thisbook is ideal for one- or two-semester or two- or three-quarter coursescovering topics in college algebra, finite mathematics, and calculus forstudents in business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Introductory Mathematical Analysis forBusiness, Economics, and the Life and Social Sciences provides a mathematical foundation for students in avariety of fields and majors. The authors establish an emphasis on algebraiccalculations that sets this text apart from other introductory, appliedmathematics books. Because the process of calculating variables builds skillsin mathematical modeling, this emphasis paves the way for students to solvereal-world problems that use calculus. The book’s comprehensive structure—covering college algebra in Chapters0 through 4, finite mathematics in Chapters 5 through 9, and calculus inChapters 10 through 17—offers instructors flexibility in how they use thematerial based on the course they’re teaching, the semester they’re at, or whatthe students’ background allows and their needs dictate.

Providing a collection development plan for school libraries, this work serves as a blueprint for building library holdings; explores the ethical and legal issues ensuing from the use of digital resources; and addresses digital information within the context of traditional library operations.

This book represents an ongoing effort to fill the void in the library literature relating to collection development policies. The authors, whose experience each spans four decades as library educators and practitioners, created the book-as well as a forthcoming companion volume devoted to school libraries-to assist both library school students and professionals in the field in the compilation, revision, and implementation of collection development policies. Cutting edge trends such as digital document delivery and library cooperation are also covered. Furthermore, given the premise that a well-rounded policy reflects all activities concerning the collection management process-including the evaluation, selection, acquisition, and weeding of information resources-it is hoped that this work will also prove useful to non-librarians possessing some kind of stake in high quality library holdings, such as library board members, politicians, and administrators directly responsible for library operations, and institutional patrons.

This new handbook teaches and explains the key principles in the management of complex pediatric colorectal diagnoses. By using case-based presentations, radiographic images, operative images with Multiple Choice Questions to test knowledge, this book serves as an invaluable educational tool. 'Learning Points' are included and the text includes comprehensive explanatory chapters. The 60 cases included encompass the full range of pediatric conditions, and the additional learning material completes this unique handbook. The interactive e-book further, with additional video content, enhances the learning experience for all clinicians involved in the treatment of children suffering from colorectal disorders.

This book is ideal for one- or two-semester or two- or three-quarter courses covering topics in college algebra, finite mathematics, and calculus for students in business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for students to solve real-world problems that use calculus. Emphasis on developing algebraic skills is extended to the exercises–including both drill problems and applications. The authors work through examples and explanations with a blend of rigor and accessibility. In addition, they have refined the flow, transitions, organization, and portioning of the content over many editions to optimize manageability for teachers and learning for students. The table of contents covers a wide range of topics efficiently, enabling instructors to tailor their courses to meet student needs.

Family Tax Law is organized around family law topics that also raise serious tax law issues. Its goal is to serve both the family law and tax law academic communities by providing a text book that links family law issues with related tax law problems. The book covers federal income tax issues concerning the formation and dissolution of family structures. It continues with chapters that address children, education, family health, family home and other family topics, along with the federal tax issues that accompany them. The first chapter provides a review of basic tax law principles sufficient to allow non-tax students to proceed with the family tax law materials that follow. Family Tax Law supports a family law curriculum by providing detailed illustrations and problems concerning family law topics and the associated federal income taxation issues. By omitting business and gift and estate tax matters, there is more space for in-depth discussions of family law topics. Family Tax Law contains the text of every section of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to understand the family law issue being discussed. It will not be necessary for students to purchase a separate supplementary code book. About the author: Prior to becoming a full-time law professor in 1990 at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio, Professor Wood spent 10 years with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel in Washington, D.C. In 1988, Wood was selected as one of three attorneys in the Office of Chief Counsel assigned to be visiting professors of law at an American law school. Professor Wood teaches tax law courses including, federal personal income tax and family tax law, as well as courses in business associations, and has published articles on various tax subjects in leading law reviews. Professor Wood speaks regularly on the tax implications of adoption at Adoption Academy programs presented by the National Center for Adoption Law and Policy. Early in his career Wood worked with the San Francisco non-profit law firm Gay Rights Advocates where he participated in their efforts to defeat the Briggs Initiative. Professor Wood received his undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky, his J.D. from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and his LLM (Taxation) from Georgetown University Law Center.
