Benchmarking Forecasting
Practices: A Guide to Improving Forecasting Performance
2006
Business forecasting has come a long way. In the last two decades
or so the whole landscape of business forecasting has changed,
which resulted mostly from the advancement in computer technology,
as well as from the development of new and better ways of
forecasting. The corporate culture has also changed. The book
benchmarks forecasting practices in corporate America including:
forecasting process followed; management support; forecasting
models and software/systems used; forecasting errors experienced;
and salary and background of forecasters. |

Patterns of Desire: Sexual
Diversity in Psychoanalysis
2007
This book reformulates the importance of sexuality in
psychoanalysis through an integrated theory reflecting contemporary
multiculturalism and diversity. This book challenges the prevailing
paradigm in psychology in general and in psychoanalysis, in
particular. That is, the overreliance on specific theoretical
formulations that do not provide adequate opportunities to
understand and truly appreciate the dilemma that patients normally
bring to a practice. The emphasis of the book is on providing a
sophisticated psychoanalytic understanding of this complex and
multifaceted experience as its appears in normal and abnormal
development. |

 | | Handbook of Adoption:
Implications for Researchers, Practitioners and Families
2007
This book is the first of its kind and attempts to address the
major psychological, sociological, cultural and legal issues
affecting members of the adoption triad (biological and adoptive
parents and the adopted child/ individual) in all aspects of the
adoption experience. It is a comprehensive volume that can be used
as a handbook, a class text or a reference book for professionals.
Importantly, this book manages to bring together under one title
many renowned experts in the adoption field to create a unique
compendium of serious, comprehensive and yet clear discussions
about theoretical issues, research findings and practical
considerations for those interested in knowing more about this
important phenomenon. |

 | | The Bilingual Mind: Thinking,
feeling and speaking in two languages
2008
This book focuses on a systematic exploration of
bilingualism and its effect on the cognitive, emotional and social
development of the bilingual individual. In this context, the book
includes, among other things, a discussion on how the bilingual
remembers and on how the ways the bilingual’s languages are
organized could allow for different access of information across
the bilingual languages. In this context, we then focus on the
inherent problem with translation and interpretation.

CHEMISTRY: The Molecular Nature
of Matter
2011
This textbook is the sixth edition in a long line of
General Chemistry texts published by Prof. James E. Brady while he
was here at St. John's. This year the torch was passed to Professor
Neil Jespersen, and we added Professor Alison Hyslop as a valuable
co-author. Our text focuses on understanding the molecular nature
of matter that allows us to deduce the macroscopic physical and
chemical properties we observe every day. The text is written for
the student and envisions taking students with a variety of
preparation levels up to a competitive level of understanding for
more advanced courses. |

 | | AP CHEMISTRY, 6th
Edition
2012
This book serves as an essential review for the Educational
Testing Services' Advanced Placement test in Chemistry. This exam
is often seen as a critical step in the career of those in the
pre-medical sciences. One of the interesting aspects of this work
is that it does not need to follow the common sequence of a general
chemistry textbook. There are three diagnostic tests that help
pinpoint areas where the students show weakness. There are three
full-length practice exams with scoring templates to help the
student assess their knowledge and probable scores. For the
students of the digital generation, the diagnostic tests and
practice exams are available on CD. |

The Beginning Translator's
Workbook or the ABC of French to English Translation
2012
Designed as a translation course textbook for advanced students of
French, this book combines methodology and practice for beginning
translators with a proficiency in French ranging from intermediate
to advanced level. It takes a linguistic approach to the problems
of translation by addressing common and major pitfalls, such as
delineation of translation units or what constitutes a concept
beyond mere words, word polysemy, false cognates, and structural
and cultural obstacles to literal translation. It offers
chapter-by-chapter explanations of the various strategies used by
professional translators to counter these problems: the translation
devices known as transposition, modulation, equivalence and
adaptation. Each chapter concludes with a variety of practice
exercises focusing on one specific problem. The second part of the
book is a global application of all the principles taught in the
first part and guides the student step by step through the actual
translation of a choice of literary (prose, poetry and plays) and
non-literary excerpts. Many graduate and undergraduate French
programs in Anglophone countries use this book.. |
