Highlighting one simple message: that Warren Buffett successfully invests in great businesses with strong fundamentals, it argues that these fundamentals can be replicated in a small business to yield outstanding results. Offering a solution for people wanting to start a business to provide additional income in today's uncertain economy, and designed to help entrepreneurs build fundamentally sound, small businesses using Warren Buffett's business investment perspective, the book covers: An overview of Warren Buffett's investment methodology and how it applies to small businesses The details of the Buffett investment criteria--a consumer monopoly, strong earnings, low long term debt, and high ROE with the ability to reinvest earnings--and the application of these fundamentals to both start-up and existing small businesses An approach to building a small business that applies the well respected principles of Warren Buffett, the book presents an exciting new look at the steps to success that have been proven trustworthy by one of the richest men in the world"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSmall business$xFinance 606 $aInvestments 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSmall business$xFinance. 615 0$aInvestments. 676 $a658/.022 700 $aBrownlee$b Adam$f1978-$0901254 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457292203321 996 $aBuilding a small business that Warren Buffett would love$92014311 997 $aUNINA LEADER 08072nam 2200637 450 001 9910465922903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-118-96703-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000585440 035 $a(EBL)4386907 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001600960 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16307804 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001600960 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14838026 035 $a(PQKB)11567484 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16223447 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14838027 035 $a(PQKB)20840034 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4386907 035 $a(DLC) 2015046276 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4386907 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11152631 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL892907 035 $a(OCoLC)930364371 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000585440 100 $a20160218h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHuman biological aging $efrom macromolecules to organ-systems /$fGlenda Bilder 210 1$aHoboken, New Jersey :$cWiley Blackwell,$d2016. 210 4$dİ2016 215 $a1 online resource (343 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-118-96702-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aMachine generated contents note: Section 1 The foundation Chapter 1 Orientation Chapter 2 Measurements and models Chapter 3 Evolutionary theory of aging Section 2 Basic components Chapter 4 Aging of macromolecules Chapter 5 Aging of cells Section 3 Organ-systems: outer covering & Movement Chapter 6 Aging of the skin Chapter 7 Aging of the skeletal muscle system Chapter 8 Aging of the skeletal system Section 4 Internal organ-systems: cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal & Urinary Chapter 9 Aging of the cardiovascular system Chapter 10 Aging of the pulmonary system Chapter 11 Aging of the gastrointestinal and urinary systems Section 5 Regulatory organ-systems: central nervous system, sensory, endocrine & immune systems Chapter 12 Aging of the central nervous system Chapter 13 Aging in the sensory system Chapter 14 Aging of the endocrine system Chapter 15 Aging of the immune system. 330 $a"Human Biological Aging will introduce the student to human aging from the level of macromolecules to organ systems. Age changes in proteins, DNA, polysaccharides and lipids are discussed relative to known age-related alterations in structure and function produced by free radicals and oxidants. At the cellular level, age-dependent mechanisms that diminish organelle function are described. Cellular phenomena of replicative senescence apoptosis, autophagy and neuroplasticity are detailed as to their contribution to compromised cellular functions. The unique age changes of each organ-system are presented. Some important changes include photo-aging in the integument, increased airway resistance, decreased thoracic chest compliance and reduction of active lung tissue in the pulmonary system, endothelial dysfunction in the cardiovascular system, cognitive changes influenced by negative and positive neuroplasticity in the central nervous system, the impact of presbyopia, presbycusis and sensory fiber loss on sensory perception, sarcopenia and dynapenia in the skeletal muscle system, the effects of menopause, altered stress response and loss of growth hormone in the hypothalamic pituitary system, age changes in bone remodeling and modeling in the skeletal system and prostatic hypertrophy and urinary incontinence in the excretory system. The selection of book material is based on Dr. Bilder's lectures developed over the years as the teacher for a Biology of Aging course at Gwynedd Mercy University. Her lectures covered biological aging from the bottom up - macromolecules to organ-systems. Additionally the student is introduced to methods and measurements in aging and the tools to critique future findings, the effects of classic caloric restriction studies and newer gene manipulations and the evolutionary theory of aging that accepted biological aging as truly biological. Major age-related diseases are absent from this textbook as biogerontologists consider disease distinct from aging. Instead this textbook includes many age changes that highlight how aging is a risk factor for disease. To fully understand biological aging, it is necessary to include primary biological content and then to develop aging insights. For example, to understand the role of aging in the development of sarcopenia and dynapenia, an appreciation of skeletal muscle structure and function is important, after which age changes of sarcopenia and dynapenia and the influence of exercise and protein consumption becomes meaningful. Similarly comprehension of the theories of aging require rudimentary knowledge of oxidation/reduction reactions, protein function, cell organelles, mitosis, acquired immunity, and evolution, to name a few basic biological concepts. Without some biological fundamentals, the student of biological aging struggles to learn the essentials of biological aging and to appreciate the research advances on aging. With regards to format, basic knowledge is given first. Biological terms are defined; key questions to aid with study are given with each chapter. Specifically the reader will learn the current theories of aging, their origins and their value in the scientific literature. The reader will learn why aging is not a disease but a risk for disease. The reader will understand how age changes are measured and appreciate the difficulties of obtaining accurate observations on aging. Thus, in forthcoming findings, the student will be equipped to discriminate between hype and worthwhile advances. This textbook will provide the reader with an overview of the major animal models of aging so that the relevance of this data on conserved mechanisms is evident. Finally, this textbook will give to the reader a framework to incorporate new information. The reader will realize the significance of the health span and gain competency to select lifestyle choices that prolong it.

The New Nature Writing: Rethinking Place in Contemporary Literature offers the first critical study of the genre. Drawing on original interviews with authors, archival research, and the latest scholarly work in the fields of literary geographies, critical localism and archipelagic criticism, the book covers the work of such writers as Robert MacFarlane, Richard Mabey and Alice Oswald. Examining the ways in which these writers have engaged with a wide range of different environments, from the edgelands to island spaces, Jos Smith reveals how they recreate a resourceful and dynamic sense of localism in rebellion against the homogenising growth of 'clone town Britain.'"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aEnvironmental cultures series. 606 $aNatural history literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aNatural history$zGreat Britain$xAuthorship 606 $aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aBioregionalism in literature 606 $aPlace (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aNatural history literature 615 0$aNatural history$xAuthorship. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aBioregionalism in literature. 615 0$aPlace (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a508.41 700 $aSmith$b Jos$f1980-$01068060 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511740503321 996 $aThe new nature writing$92552488 997 $aUNINA
