By staying current, remaining relevant, and adapting to emerging course needs, Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin and Greg Gagne has defined the operating systems course through nine editions. This second edition of the Essentials version is based on the recent ninth edition of the original text. Operating System Concepts Essentials comprises a subset of chapters of the ninth edition for professors who want a shorter text and do not cover all the topics in the ninth edition. The new second edition of Essentials will be available as an ebook at a very attractive price for students. The ebook will have live links for the bibliography, cross-references between sections and chapters where appropriate, and new chapter review questions. A two-color printed version is also available.

The 8th Edition of Accounting & Auditing Research: Tools & Strategies by Thomas R. Weirich, Thomas C. Pearson, and Natalie Tatiana Churyk builds upon previous issues with a continued focus on accounting curriculum, including Intermediate Accounting, Government and Non-Profit Accounting, Tax, Advanced Accounting, and Accounting Theory. It also focuses on how to perform accounting, auditing, tax, and business research in an ever changing accounting and auditing landscape. Furthermore, the text provides information, insights, and more research opportunities to develop effective skills in research and analysis.
