It also provides examples of the Open Source infrastructure components that can and should be made compliant. In addition, the book clearly documents which Open Source tools you should consider using in the journey towards compliance. Although many books and reference material have been authored on the financial and business side of Sox compliance, very little material is available that directly address the information technology considerations, even less so on how Open Source fits into that discussion. Each chapter begins with an analysis of the business and technical ramifications of Sarbanes-Oxley as regards to topics covered before moving into the detailed instructions on the use of the various Open Source applications and tools relating to the compliance objectives. The bootable CD contains fully configured demonstrations of Open Source tools. * Shows companies how to use Open Source tools to achieve SOX compliance, which dramatically lowers the cost of using proprietary, commercial applications * Contains a bootable-Linux CD containing countless applications, forms, and checklists to assist companies in achieving SOX compliance * Only SOX compliance book specifically detailing steps to achieve SOX compliance for IT Professionals.Electronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions.United States.Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.Information technologyManagement.Electronic books.localPeterson, Roderick.authorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut739043Original15974903699781597490368(OCoLC)62395324Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781597490368An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365551624-02-2224-01-08991003250379707536C0TEFSarbanes-Oxley1463986UNISALENTOle02924-01-08mm -engmau0003771nam 2200709Ia 450 991095490750332120250624202355.09786612298271978128229827912822982759781400827336140082733710.1515/9781400827336(CKB)1000000000756319(EBL)445506(OCoLC)336651210(SSID)ssj0000134923(PQKBManifestationID)11162622(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000134923(PQKBWorkID)10055389(PQKB)10217887(DE-B1597)446516(OCoLC)979970151(DE-B1597)9781400827336(Au-PeEL)EBL445506(CaPaEBR)ebr10284231(CaONFJC)MIL229827(MiAaPQ)EBC445506(Perlego)734422(EXLCZ)99100000000075631920080124d2008 uy 0engur||#||||||||txtccrDarwin loves you natural selection and the re-enchantment of the world /George LevineCourse BookPrinceton, NJ ;Woodstock Princeton University Press20081 online resource (335 p.)Originally published: 2006.9780691136394 0691136394 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter --Contents --Preface --Acknowledgments --Chapter 1.

"And if it be a pretty woman all the better" --Chapter 7. A Kinder, Gentler, Darwin --Epilogue: What Does It Mean? --Notes --IndexJesus and Darwin do battle on car bumpers across America. Medallions of fish symbolizing Jesus are answered by ones of amphibians stamped "Darwin," and stickers proclaiming "Jesus Loves You" are countered by "Darwin Loves You." The bumper sticker debate might be trivial and the pronouncement that "Darwin Loves You" may seem merely ironic, but George Levine insists that the message contains an unintended truth. In fact, he argues, we can read it straight. Darwin, Levine shows, saw a world from which his theory had banished transcendence as still lovable and enchanted, and we can see it like that too--if we look at his writings and life in a new way. Although Darwin could find sublimity even in ants or worms, the word "Darwinian" has largely been taken to signify a disenchanted world driven by chance and heartless competition. Countering the pervasive view that the facts of Darwin's world must lead to a disenchanting vision of it, Levine shows that Darwin's ideas and the language of his books offer an alternative form of enchantment, a world rich with meaning and value, and more wonderful and beautiful than ever before. Without minimizing or sentimentalizing the harsh qualities of life governed by natural selection, and without deifying Darwin, Levine makes a moving case for an enchanted secularism--a commitment to the value of the natural world and the human striving to understand it.Natural selectionCivilization, SecularSocial DarwinismNatural selection.Civilization, Secular.Social Darwinism.576.8/2092576.82092Levine George1931-214452MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954907503321Darwin loves you4398302UNINA
