Radio frequency identification or RFID is a broad-based technology that impacts business and society. With the rapid expansion of the use of this technology in everything from consumer purchases to security ID tags, to tracking bird migration, there is very little information available in book form that targets the widest range of the potential market. But this book is different! Where most of the books available cover specific technical underpinnings of RFID or specific segments of the market, this co-authored book by both academic and industry professionals, provides a broad background on the technology and the various applications of RFID around the world. Coverage is mainly non-technical, more business related for the broadest user base, however there are sections that step into the technical aspects for advanced, more technical readers.
Why should government agencies conduct quality assessments? The answer is simple: in this era of budget constraints, taxpayer dissatisfaction and "smaller government," today's government agencies must do more with less. The public is demanding it. The Presidents Quality Award Program Self-Assessment Process for Federal, State and Local Government can help you identify areas of waste, cut costs dramatically, and increase efficiency and productivity. Not convinced? Recently, the City of Union, Georgia, used the methodology contained in this workbook to cut costs 15 percent and speed up the budget process from 6 months to 30 days. The methods outlined in The Presidents Quality Award Program Self-Assessment Process for Federal, State and Local Government can also increase your organization's competitiveness, increase your service quality, and most importantly, change people's attitudes about working with government agencies. It's no secret that the vast majority of Americans are currently dissatisfied with the way the government does business. Isn't it time you changed their minds?
While the American legal system has played an important role in shaping the field of bioethics, Law and Bioethics is the first book on the subject designed to be accessible to readers with little or no legal background. Detailing how the legal analysis of an issue in bioethics often differs from the "ethical" analysis, the book covers such topics as abortion, surrogacy, cloning, informed consent, malpractice, refusal of care, and organ transplantation. Structured like a legal casebook, Law and Bioethics includes the text of almost all the landmark cases that have shaped bioethics. Jerry Menikoff offers commentary on each of these cases, as well as a lucid introduction to the U.S. legal system, explaining federalism and underlying common law concepts. Students and professionals in medicine and public health, as well as specialists in bioethics, will find the book a valuable resource.
