Encyclopedia of Management
From Booklist
This specialized desktop-style encyclopedia contains more than 300 essays covering management topics such as Angels and venture capitalists, Franchising, Japanese management, Outsourcing and offshoring, and Zero sum game. Arrangement is alphabetical, but so the volume may be used as a textbook as well as a ready-reference source, a "Guide to Functional-Area Readings" arranges entries into 18 curriculum-related topic areas such as "Emerging Topics in Management," "Leadership," and "Management Information Systems."
The previous edition of Encyclopedia of Management was published in 2000. Contributors to this collection are predominately scholars, practitioners, doctoral students, librarians, and professional business writers. The editor and advisory board selected topics in an attempt to "represent an authoritative treatment of the entire field of management, encompassing all the current theories and functional areas of this vast and growing discipline."
The Diversification strategy and Marketing concept and philosophy essays serve well as examples of the encyclopedia's writing style and focus. The former essay is relatively long, running to eight columns of tightly packed text. It begins with an explanation of diversification in the context of growth strategies and works its way through concentric diversification, conglomerate diversification, diversification strategies, and vertical versus horizontal diversification. Main sections and subsections are separated by eye-friendly areas of white space. The writing style is straightforward and should present no difficulty to beginners or casual browsers. The marketing essay is of the shorter variety and provides more of a summary than an in-depth treatment of its subject. The inclusion of anecdotal examples makes it a pleasure to read. All entries conclude with further reading lists, and the text is complemented by tables, graphs, and other figures.
At $290 for one volume, Encyclopedia of Management is a pretty uptown purchase to consider. Small libraries with limited money to spend will want to make sure they do not already own other management sources that, in aggregate, cover this material. Larger libraries may decide it's worth the cost to have at least one solid, comprehensive print-format source on the reference shelf. Art A. Lichtenstein

Book Description
The use of refrigeration, either directly or as part of an air-conditioning system, is essential to almost every branch of industry.
There is a need for practitioners to familiarise themselves with the general principles and methods of refrigeration and air conditioning, and the types of plant and operation currently in use.

The increased use of Ammonia and Propane are included, with the relevant Health and Safety aspects, and the move towards Absorption refrigeration equipment as more environmentally friendly.

Building Websites with Joomla!
Book Description
This book is a fast paced tutorial to creating a website using Joomla!. If you’ve never used Joomla!, or even any web content management system before, then this book will walk you through each step in a friendly and accessible way. From installation, to initial set up and content entry and then on to customization for your own look and feel, this book will get you to a stable and working Joomla! based web site fast. You don’t have to be an experienced web developer or designer to get a great looking site with a full set of functions using this book and Joomla! This book will guide through every step.
Joomla! is a fully featured web content management system and was created in Summer 2005 as a fork from the hugely popular Mambo CMS with many of the original Mambo developers moving their efforts to Joomla! While still in its first release, it is supported by an active and well organized open source development team and community. Joomla! is both easy to use at the entry level for creating basic websites, whilst having the power and flexibility to support complex web applications. Joomla! implements the core requirements of a full-featured CMS. It has a powerful and extensible templating system with the ability to upload and manage many different data types. User access control, content approval, rich administrative control, and content display scheduling are all built-in. New features and extensions are constantly added to the core system, with many more being available and supported by the community.
The book begins by introducing Joomla! and concepts behind content management. Then the installation of Joomla!, and its supporting software [Apache/MySQL/PHP] is covered clearly and simply. Once you have the installation up and running, we then take a tour of Joomla! as it appears out of the box, to familiarize ourselves with how it works and what is what. As you take the tour, your own ideas for what you need in your new website begin to crystallize around what you can see Joomla! is capable of. We then build our web application, using only the features of Joomla! we really need. Once we have a base version of our site up, we then learn how to change its appearance and feature set to suit our particular requirements, including bringing it into line with an established corporate identity. At the end of the book we show how you can add your own extensions to Joomla!.
This book focuses on taking you through the essential tasks to create a Joomla! site as fast as possible. These essential tasks are explained clearly, with well structured step-by-step instructions. The book does not aim to cover every feature of Joomla! nor is it a comprehensive guide to extending Joomla!. Almost everything in the book is accomplished without recourse to the underlying PHP code in which Joomla! is written. The book is very readable and the author has a particularly chatty and engaging writing style.
