Accounting Information Systems

Author: Ulric Gelinas

The book focuses on providing skills necessary for a foundation in enterprise risk management--particularly as these risks pertain to information systems and encapsulated business processes.

The Perspective of the World, Vol. 3

Author: Fernand Braudel

Volume III investigates what Braudel terms "world-economies"--the economic dominance of a particular city at different periods of history, from Venice to Amsterdam, London, New York.

Library Journal

Originally published in the early 1980s, Civilization traces the social and economic history of the world from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution, although his primary focus is Europe. Braudel skims over politics, wars, etc., in favor of examining life at the grass roots: food, drink, clothing, housing, town markets, money, credit, technology, the growth of towns and cities, and more. The history is fascinating and made even more interesting by period prints and drawings. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
