IFRS a US GAAP / IFRS and US GAAP - Robert Mládek

Jak již z názvu vyplývá, IFRS (Mezinárodní standardy finančního výkaznictví) se zabývají především výstupem, nikoli účetním postupem. Podobně ani US GAAP (Americké obecně uznávané účetní zásady) nedefinují přesné účetní postupy, které se mají při jejich aplikaci používat. Účetním zvyklým na účetní standardy, které naopak definují vzorovou účtovou osnovu, upravují postupy účtování a přesně definují obsah účetní závěrky, se standardy jako IFRS a US GAAP často zdají být těžko aplikovatelné v praxi. Jako by jim chyběl návod k použití. Proto tato příručka místo dlouhých výkladů ukazuje jak aplikovat standardy IFRS a US GAAP v každodenní praxi, pomocí toho, co každý účetní zná a miluje: má dáti/dal. Inspiraci pro příklady čerpá autor především z vlastní praxe a zkušeností ze školení, která pravidelně pořádá už od roku 1995. Navíc kniha obsahuje příklady aplikace nových standardů, které zatím nevstoupily v platnost a není k nim proto žádná zavedená praxe. Publikace, která obsahuje pouze příklady, samozřejmě nenahradí IFRS a US GAAP, je však cenným průvodcem pro všechny, kteří chtějí tyto standardy aplikovat jednoduše. Všechen text je uváděn dvojjazyčně

Foreign Policy in Iran and Saudi Arabia - Robert Mason

Saudi Arabia, with its US alliance and abundance of oil dollars, has a very different economic story to that of Iran, which despite enormous natural gas reserves, has been hit hard by economic, trade, scientific and military sanctions since its 1979 revolution. Robert Mason looks at the effect that economic considerations (such as oil, gas, sanctions, trade and investment) have had on foreign policy decision-making processes and diplomatic activities. By examining the foreign policies of Saudi Arabia and Iran towards each other, and towards the wider Middle East and beyond, Mason seeks to highlight how oil policy, including oil production, pricing and security of supply and demand, is the paramount economic factor which drives the diplomacy and rivalry of these two pivotal regional powers. His book thus offers vital analysis for researchers of international relations in the Middle East and the processes involved in the formation of foreign policy.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories - Robert Louis Stevenson

What a study in contrasts is the friendship between Henry Jekyll and his boon companion, Edward Hyde. Where Jekyll is a handsome and respected man of science, Hyde is a surly and brutish misanthrope. Nevertheless, Jekyll has allowed Hyde free access to his home and laboratory and, surprisingly, made him the sole beneficiary of his will. Given the closeness of their bond, it seems peculiar that no one has ever seen the two men together in public. And yet they share a remarkable chemistry . . . First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of the duality of human nature and his iconic presentation of what would come to be referred to as the “split personality.”

The Story of God and Us - Jonathan Murphy

Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework—a master plot—to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone s story: past, present, and future. Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story—the best story ever!—full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God s story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.? The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how: the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God; God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way; a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God s. As Jonathan retells God s story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!

Does Americaâ ™s pro-Israel lobby wield inappropriate control over US foreign policy?

Israel is an important, valued American ally, yet Mearsheimer and Walt show that, by encouraging unconditional US financial and diplomatic support for Israel and promoting the use of its power to remake the Middle East, the lobby has jeopardized Americaâ ™s and Israelâ ™s long-term security and put other countries â “ including Britain â “ at risk.

⠘⠦man is not truly one, but truly two.â ™In this powerful deconstruction of Calvinist belief and the hypocrisy at the heart of Victorian society, Stevenson creates a gothic icon in the divided self that is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freudâ ™s theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural doppelgänger and the split personality in a timeless tale of guilt, desire, and violence by which all subsequent â ˜doubleâ ™ stories must be judged. In seeking to cleanse his soul of sin, Dr Henry Jekyll instead unleashes a monster. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevensonâ ™s international reputation as an author.This volume also contains Stevensonâ ™s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, â ˜Markheimâ ™, and the occult tales of terror, â ˜The Merry Menâ ™, â ˜Olallaâ ™, and â ˜Thrawn Janetâ ™. Â

Knaanic Language: Structure and Historical Background - Robert Dittmann, Lenka Uličná, Ondřej Bláha

Canaanite glosses, i.e. medieval Slavic, especially Czech glosses, recorded in Hebrew script, have aroused the interest of researchers since the first half of the19th century. Despite long-term research their appearance has not been sufficiently described and explained until today. A conference, the contributions to which are contained in this book, was organized as a part of and supported by the grant project of the Czech Science Foundation No. P406/11/0861 Kenaanské glosy ve středověkých hebrejských rukopisech s vazbou na české země (Canaanite Glosses in Medieval Hebrew Manuscripts Related to the Czech Lands). Its goal was to diminish the number of unresolved questions by focusing on the problem of Knaanic language proper as well as connected phenomena. Many leading scholars in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Slavic linguistics have contributed to the volume. To illuminate the problem from different perspectives, scholars from related fields were welcome to contribute. In total, seventeen contributions have been gathered bringing new findings contextualizing the Canaanite glosses as well as new findings of the glosses themselves. Further achievements are new facts about related phenomena like a literary depiction of Prague´s pogrom of 1389, etymology of the word for Jew in Common Slavic, biblical usage of the word Canaan or glosses of a small corpus of Judeo-Portuguese, all of which are published in the present volume. The contributors to the volume adopted various methodological approaches, which was encouraged to show the plurality of perspectives and open further discussions. The editors hope that these proceedings substantially contribute to many of the topics of the most recent research and open new research horizons in this field for the future

The Infinite and The Divine - Robert Rath

Before the being called the Emperor revealed Himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence.Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future. But when an artefact emerges that may hold the key to the necrons next evolution, these two obsessives enter a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse that ends civilisations, reshapes timelines, and changes both forever. As riddles unwind and ancient secrets are revealed, the question remains: will their feud save the necron race or destroy it?

An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics - Prof Robert H. Swendsen

An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics returns with a second edition which includes new chapters, further explorations, and updated information into the study of statistical mechanics and thermal dynamics.The first part of the book derives the entropy of the classical ideal gas, using only classical statistical mechanics and an analysis of multiple systems first suggested by Boltzmann. The properties of the entropy are then expressed as postulates of thermodynamics in the second part of the book. From these postulates, the formal structure of thermodynamics is developed. The third part of the book introduces the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, which are shown to facilitate calculations for many model systems. An explanation of irreversible phenomena that is consistent with time-reversal invariance in a closed system is presented. The fourth part of the book is devoted to quantum statistical mechanics, including black-body radiation, the harmonic solid, Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics, and an introduction to band theory, including metals, insulators, and semiconductors. The final chapter gives a brief introduction to the theory of phase transitions. Throughout the book, there is a strong emphasis on computational methods to make abstract concepts more concrete.

Robert Doisneau. Paris. 45th Ed.

As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection.A summation of a spectacular career, this extensive Doisneau collection includes all his best-loved images from Paris alongside many lesser-known compositions which equally rejoice in “the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.” The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in Doisneau’s thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures.Through the images, we are transported to the grim suburbs of Doisneau’s youth and to the world of manual labor whose nobility he so admired. A number of color shots of the transformed suburbs of Doisneau’s childhood reveal a different, more critical eye to the master photographer.For this new monograph on all aspects of the life and oeuvre of Robert Doisneau, his longtime friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude Gautrand had unlimited access to the extensive photo archive Atelier Robert Doisneau. The preface is by Doisneau’s daughters Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau.

Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves - and How to Find our Way Back - Ingrid Clayton

Often mistakenly labeled as codependency, fawning can present as being more of who someone is: smart, generous,successful, funny, or beautiful, while for others it s about being less: vocal, ethnic, creative, self-assured, or boundaried. Fawning can be visible or invisible, it can take the shape of sex, money, or the perpetual emotional regulationof others but one thing remains constant: it is about finding safety in an unsafe world, often at our own expense. Written by fawning expert and clinical psychologist Dr. Ingrid Clayton, Fawning will be the first of its kind, shininga light on this under-represented, but extremely important piece of the trauma puzzle. Clayton draws upon bothpersonal and clinical experiences of the trauma response and provides resources and tools for anyone who has lostintrinsic parts of themselves by constantly orienting to safety through self-abandonment. This book is for thosewho want to finally lessen their shame about patterns that haven t served for a long time. It is for doctors, therapists, and all those in the helping professions who need to understand this form and function of how the body seeks tosurvive trauma. This book is for the cycle breakers who don t want to carry unprocessed trauma down to futuregenerations or foster another generation of fawners who aren t entitled to the full spectrum of human emotion,shrinking in the face of what caregivers can tolerate. It is for those who have been told to read all the literature oncodependency and still don t see themselves reflected. Fawning is for anyone who has felt stuck in relationships, longing for meaningful, reciprocal connections and most importantly, a true relationship to Self.
