Overview: As discussed in this book, a large body of evidence indicatesthat selenium is a cancer chemopreventive agent. Further evidencepoints to a role of this element in reducing viral expression, inpreventing heart disease, and other cardiovascular and muscledisorders, and in delaying the progression of AIDS in HIV infectedpatients. Selenium may also have a role in mammalian development, inmale fertility, in immune function and in slowing the aging process.The mechanism by which selenium exerts its beneficial effects onhealth may be through selenium-containing proteins. Selenium isincorpora

Overview: Politics play a central role in all organisations but to this point they have largely been seen as a negative force. Butcher and Clarke expose this as a misunderstanding and show how political behaviour is entirely endemic to managerial activity and how understanding and managing it can have extremely powerful positive effects. They provide an approach to managing politics by balancing personal and organisational interests and show how the centrality of politics to organisational life make it the ideal place from which to change existing patterns of power and influence. Essential rea

Overview: First topical monograph on this subject matter.Provides conceptual and theoretical introduction.Introduces modern cooling schemesThis lecture note describes the main analytical approaches to stochastic cooling. The first is the time domain picture, in which the beam is rapidly sampled and a statistical analysis is used to describe the cooling behaviour. The second is the frequency domain picture, which is particularly useful since the observations made on the beam are mainly in this domain. This second picture is developed in detail to assess key components of modern cooling theory l
