The McGraw-Hill Handbook sets the new standard for today's students. Today's students are avid writers. They write emails, text messages, instant messages, blog entries, and tweets. Such writing is not only functional but also fun. Professors can help transfer this pleasure and comfort with writing as they guide students through the more deliberate, considered process of writing required in academic and professional communities. The Canadian edition of The McGraw-Hill Handbook provides accessible, systematic prewriting, writing, and post-writing guidelines that can help students generate strong interpretations, synthesize these interpretations into meaningful insights, and communicate these insights into clear and coherent essays. Combining these guidelines with abundant sample documents written by students in diverse classes across the curriculum illustrates these processes while providing excellent models. This handbook includes extensive coverage of the research process and up-to-date, well-illustrated documentation guidelines, including the 2009 MLA guidelines, the 2008 APA guidelines, and the most recent CMS and CBE guidelines. An equally comprehensive coverage of grammar—including clear grammar instruction and abundant grammar exercises—will help students learn how to restructure and revise their writing to make it accessible to their readers.McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

Four reasons: This text places a special emphasis on China’s culture, warfare, and immediate neighbors, while its organization provides structural convenience not found in other surveys of modern Chinese history. First, this text uses a comparative approach to bridge the cultural divide separating Chinese history from Western readers trying to understand it. It compares the embedded assumptions, patterns of analysis, and primary values that distinguish these two great civilizations, not to suggest the superiority of either; but rather, to reach a Western audience, who may be unaware that many of their core assumptions and values are not shared by others. This is not an attempt to understand China in its own terms, but in comparison to the West so as to bridge the cultural divide. Second, this text emphasizes the tragic role of warfare in Chinese history. Far more so than in most other countries, warfare has wracked Chinese society for the last two centuries: A cascade of internal rebellions, secession movements, and civil and foreign wars continued with only short interruptions from 1800 until the death of Mao Zedong in 1976.   On a human level, it is incumbent on this and succeeding generations not to forget the holocaust that has been a hallmark of modern Chinese history. Third, all too often the study of China has been done in semi-isolation from its neighbors. The authors of this text have spent years living not only in China and Taiwan, but also in Russia and Japan, and have visited South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Modern Chinese history cannot be understood without a deep appreciation of the foreign influence that has bombarded China from all sides. Western texts generally give due attention to the Western European powers and to the United States. Some devote time to discussing the Japanese influence. None gives adequate attention to the activities of Russia. Most Western Sinologists do not read Russian, nor do most Chinese secondary sources emphasize Russia’s extensive influence because Russian diplomats from the 19th century onward consistently succeeded in promoting their country’s national interests at Chinese expense. On a human level, this is not a story many Chinese want to tell. On a national level, Sino-Russian relations are so central to China’s national security that the topic is generally classified. The authors learned about Russo-Chinese relations from years of research in the archives of Russia, China, Taiwan, Japan, and the United States reading materials covering Russo-Chinese diplomatic relations from the 18th through the 20th centuries. Fourth, this text has been specifically geared to the teaching requirements of the semester system. It is divided into four parts and a total of twenty-eight chapters. This corresponds either to two chapters per week in a fourteen-week semester or one chapter per week in a two-semester course. The four parts can be broken in half for a mid-term in a one-semester course or in quarters for mid-terms and finals in a two-semester course. Similarly, each chapter is divided into seven parts so that students can read one part per day of the week if they so desire.Prentice HallBruce A. EllemanS. C. M. PaineWorld Civilization20091215http://www.coursesmart.com/9781429252393Derived from Benjamin Pierce's popular and acclaimed Genetics: A Conceptual Approach, Genetics Essentials covers basic transmission, molecular, and population genetics in 17 chapters, bypassing advanced topics to focus on what is essential for students new to the genetics field.  Pierce continues his tradition of focusing on the basic concepts of genetics that students need to understand and the connections that lie between them. Like its parent text, Genetics Essentials offers student-friendly features, cutting edge and classical research, and helpful media, with an engaging voice bringing it all together.  There is a greater emphasis on understanding and connecting basic concepts, as well as carefully crafted pedagogy to help develop sure-fire problem-solving skills. The price is student friendly as well--significantly less than similar textbooks for the course.W. H.

John Budd continues to present the most dynamic, engaging approach to understanding labor relations in the 21st century with Labor Relations, 3/e. Budd’s well-received and award-winning presentation shows labor relations as a system for balancing employment relationship goals (efficiency, equity, and voice) and the rights of labor and management. Labor Relations moves beyond a process-based focus in studying this topic by placing the discussion of contemporary U.S. processes into the context of underlying themes, such as what the goals of the system are, whether or not those goals are being fulfilled, and if reform is needed. Central topics are placed in the broader context of the goals of the employment relationship, conflicting rights, and the environment of the 21st century. Budd’s broader context, therefore, makes labor relations more engaging and relevant to students. It also allows instructors to raise important “big picture” ideas that go beyond mere how-to descriptions of labor relations.McGraw-Hill Higher Education Budd, John W. Human Resource Management20091204http://www.coursesmart.com/0077319605With the CourseSmart eTextbook version of this title, students can save up to 50% off the cost of a print book, reduce their impact on the environment, and access powerful web tools for learning.

Debating Health Care Ethics provides the tools to examine issues critically. Early chapters introduce readers to philosophical arguments and methods, the strengths and weaknesses of major normative theories, and the ethical positions of the three text authors (Deontological Pluralism, Contractarianism, and Virtue Ethics). After laying the foundation for argumentation and theory, the text examines important ethical issues in health care. A brief drama—dialogues between patient or family member and health care provider (all composites of actual people)—introduce a moral problem for each chapter. After the case, a debate ensues between the authors; positions emerge, and are defended, revised, and sometimes rejected. The cases and debates expose students to the philosophical thought process—the development of arguments, objections, and counter-arguments. Reading the evolution of each argument evolves exposes students to the art of debating.McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

The focus is on optimization models based on linear and mixed integer programming. The complementary role played by descriptive models in developing data inputs for optimization models is thoroughly reviewed. Using numerous applications, Shapiro clearly illustrates that when properly implemented, these methodologies can create accurate and comprehensive models of great practical value.
