MCGRAW-HILL’S CHINESE DICTIONARY AND GUIDE TO 20,000 ESSENTIAL WORDSQuanyu Huang ©2010 • Softcover • 688 ppISBN: 9780071629249

When he surveyed his students, author Quanyu Huang found that only two out of 300 used a Chinese dictionary. Their main obstacle is how existing dictionaries are organized; either a user needs to know the “radical” of a character, how to recognize or count writing strokes, or how a character is pronounced. In McGraw- Hill’s Chinese Dictionary and Guide to 20,000 Essential Words the author overcomes this problem with his unique “broken marks” method. Each character is comprised of different marks separated by a physical space or sharp change of direction at the end of a mark. Count these marks, and you can locate the Chinese character you need in less than a minute. This dictionary and guide will also be a perfect complement to your AP Chinese studies.

Make the business of society your business

In The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook, Scofield leads you through

the entire process of starting up and running a nonprofit, sharing

personal success stories and advice on what not to do—valuable

lessons he learned the hard way. The process, while risky, isn’t as

difficult as you might think. Practically speaking, you need only

two things: an idea and a plan. The former comes from you and

you alone. This book supplies the latter.

The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook illuminates the path to

building a successful nonprofit from the ground up. You’ll learn

how to:

Create a realistic plan for getting started in your chosen cause

Assemble the perfect team for putting your plan into action—and

keeping it rolling in the right direction

Develop a business model specifically designed to run a nonprofit

organization

Keep yourself, your staff, and your cause in solid financial shape

One of the many beauties of social entrepreneurship is that it’s

never too late to start. You can be right out of school or working

in the highest ranks of corporate America. It doesn’t matter. Social

entrepreneurship begins with a noble cause, which turns into a

passion, and soon becomes a mission worth dedicating your life to.

The Social Entrepreneur’s Handbook is the one and only resource

you will need to attain your dream of working full-time in service

to others—and making a real, measurable difference in the world.

HANDBOOK OF LEADERSHIP THEORY AND PRACTICENitin Nohria, Harvard Business School, and Raksesh Khurana©2010 • Hardcover • 800 ppISBN: 9781422138793[A Harvard Business Press Title]

Scores of books and articles have been written in

the popular press and mainstream marketplace

about leadership: who leaders are, what they do,

and why they matter. Yet in academia, there is

a dearth of rigorous research, journal articles,

or doctoral programs focused on leadership

as a discipline. Why do top business schools

espouse mission statements that promise to

“”educate the leaders of the future””- yet fail

to give leadership its intellectual due? The

Handbook of Leadership Theory and Practice

seeks to bridge this disconnect. Based on the

Harvard Business School Centennial Colloquium

“”Leadership: Advancing an Intellectual

Discipline”” and edited by HBS professors

Nitin Nohria and Rakesh Khurana, this volume

brings together the most important scholars

from fields as diverse as psychology, sociology,

economics, and history to take stock of what we

know about leadership and to set an agenda for

future research.

More than a means of getting ahead and

gaining power, leadership must be understood

as a serious professional and personal

responsibility. Featuring the thinking of today’s

most renowned scholars, the Handbook of

Leadership Theory and Practice will be a catalyst

for elevating leadership to a higher intellectual

plane - and help shape the research agenda

for the next generation of leadership scholars.”

THE HANDBOOK OF TRADINGStrategies for Navigating and Profiting from Currency, Bond, and Stock MarketsGreg N. Gregoriou©2010 • Hardcover • 512 pagesISBN: 9780071743532

Given today’s market volatility, even the most advanced investors can be unsure of their next move. Rather than rely on one or two individuals who claim general knowledge on any given investing topic, you need the advice of professionals who have spent their entire careers developing real expertise on more focused sectors of the market.

The Handbook of Trading is the only book available that provides just that. Greg N. Gregoriou has amassed forty of the world’s top academics, researchers, and practitioners who explain how to make today’s markets work for you. With this highly technical but ultimately practical guide, you have access to a broad array of trading strategies that will put you light years ahead of the competition—regardless of the state of the market.

From technical analysis and momentum trading to algorithmic and FOREX trading, The Handbook of Trading introduces you to techniques and insights never before published, each of which has been rigorously back-tested and analyzed.

The VaR Modeling Handbook is the most complete, up-to-date reference on the subject for today’s savvy investors, traders, portfolio managers, and other asset and risk managers. Unlike market risk metrics such as the Greeks, or beta, which are applicable to only certain asset categories and sources of market risk, VaR is applicable to all liquid assets, making it a reliable indicator of total market risk. For this reason, among many others, VaR has become the dominant method for estimating precisely how much money is at risk each day in the financial markets.

They explain in great detail such key topics as the evaluation of structured credit derivatives, the investment opportunities of hedge funds, basis arbitrage trading strategies, and the securitization of subprime mortgage loans from a legal perspective.

THE CREDIT DERIVATIVES HANDBOOKGlobal Perspectives, Innovations, and Market DriversGreg N. Gregoriou, and Paul U. Ali ©2009 Hardcover • 528 pagesISBN: 9780071549523

Practical Solutions To Diffusion-Related Problems

The Diffusion Handbook: Applied Solutions for Engineers provides more than 1,000 ready-made solutions to boundary-value problems

associated with Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions. The book also offers variations, including subdivided systems

where the properties of each continuum are uniform but discontinuous at the interface; solutions involving boundary conditions of

the mixed type, where the function is prescribed over part of the boundary and its normal derivative over the remaining part; and

problems that involve space- and time-dependent boundary conditions. All semi-analytic solutions presented in this practical resource

are accompanied by prescriptions for numerical computations. The diffusion coefficient and the initial and boundary conditions used in

this book apply to fluid flow in a porous medium. All solutions can be equally applied to problems in heat conduction and mass transfer.

THE PHD APPLICATION HANDBOOKPeter J. Bentley ©2006 • Softcover • 192 ppISBN: 9780335219520(An Open University Press Title)

A PhD is one of the most ambitious and exciting

things you can do in your life. Upon successful

completion you will be a doctor – and a world

authority in your chosen area. Each year several

thousand graduate students apply to do a PhD

at universities in the UK. Many are not successful

– they are unable to find a suitable university,

or a supervisor, or decide on a suitable research

project, or they cannot obtain funding to pay

their fees and bills. Most students fail to obtain

a PhD because they have one of these aspects

wrong at the start. It also provides detailed

information about funding, eligibility, deadlines

for different awards, and which funding is

best for which student. Examples of research

proposals, application forms and interview

technique are given, helping you to secure

your PhD place with the minimum of problems.

THE HANDBOOK OF ACADEMIC WRITINGRowena Murray, and Sarah Moore, University of Limerick©2006 • Softcover • 216 ppISBN: 9780335219339(An Open University Press Title)

The Handbook of Academic Writing offers

practical advice to busy academics who want,

and are often required, to integrate writing into

their working lives. It defines what academic

writing is, and the process of getting started

through to completion. Academic writing is one

of the most demanding tasks that all academics

and researchers face. In some disciplines there is

guidance on what is needed to be productive,

successful writers; but in other disciplines there

is no training, support or mentoring of any kind.

This book helps those in both groups not only

to improve their writing skills and strategies,

but, equally importantly, to find satisfaction

in engaging in regular and productive writing.

Underpinned by a diverse range of literature,

this book addresses the different dimensions

of writing. The fresh approach that Murray and

Moore explore in this book includes developing

rhetorical knowledge, focusing on writing

behaviours and understanding writing contexts.
