deserves six stars!.......2007-08-17

This book has taught me more than I learned in an entire semester at a FIDER accredited Interior Design program at a local college. Well worth every penny.

Just What I've Been Missing.......2007-03-30

I highly recommend this book to anyone in the business, or aspiring to be. I had an informal education and knew there was something missing about the nuts and bolts of presentation. This book is it! Everything I didn't know that I didn't know.

For project boards & rendering.......2006-04-24

I bought this to help organize my project boards, which it is great for. The bonus is the information on rendering. There was better information here than in the other 2 books I own on color theory and rendering.

excellent resource.......2006-03-24

This book is an excellent resource for the interior design student. It's a book you should get as soon as you start studies. Great reference to compliment classroom lessons. I also recommended it to my Residencial Design teacher. It has basic information that will save you time.Great buy!!

good guide.......2006-03-09

A Beautiful Tribute and Resource for learning about Reagan.......2005-05-07

The stature and legacy of the Presidency of Ronald Reagan continues to grow and strengthen. His critics went into apoplectic fits when he won the Presidency, they sputtered in consternation during his two terms, and continue to rage against him even after his death. Many books have been written about him and trees continue to be felled to publish new books about him. Some of the books are good, but many present a false image of Reagan the man and the President. The problem is that the rising generation has no direct memory of his time in office and is held captive by the information passed on to them in the various media.

This beautiful and well done book should be provided to every young person so they can get a proper notion of what was so special about Reagan and what he accomplished. Unfortunately, most of what they get in the popular media is the derision and contumely smeared on the name of Reagan. Even some who claim to support the Reagan legacy are co-opting the glow of the name without being factual about what they are supporting.

"Remembering Reagan" is full of great images that help us remember what a special time those two terms were. The text is honest about what happened and all the issues that filled his eight years serving our country as Commander-in-Chief. When you see the great pictures here you will wonder why the media relies on such weak pictures of Reagan. Well, we know why, but their biased agenda becomes that much more obvious after looking through this volume.

I would be happy to have my children learn about President Reagan from this book. It may not be the only book you want them to read or read yourself, but I contend that you won't have a complete picture of this man until you also go through this fine book. It is here you will get a sense of the energy, strength, presence, stature, dedication, quiet wisdom, and vast ability of one of our great Presidents.

Fabulous! Nostalgic!.......2000-10-03

I have been enough lucky and privilged to get the book in Simi Valley at Reagan Library Gift Shop! Then I have been asked by many friends of mine to get the book and they are all so thrilled and happy to have the book. If you failed to get some Reagan videos, then this book should enter your library and will give you some brief impression about those video titles. The life of President is fully illustrated and the book is just a beauty for your coffee table. Many friends of mine come and look through the pages and they become very thrilled when they turn over the last page. I am wondered that the book is available online as it was not before. So, do not waste time and get it NOW!!!

Book Description

This book offers students and practitioners a sophisticated and convincing framework for rethinking the usual approaches to resource management. It uses case studies to argue that professional resource managers do not take responsibility for the social and environmental consequences of their decisions on the often vulnerable indigenous communities they affect. It also discusses the invisibility of indigenous people' values and knowledge within traditional resource management. It offers a new approach to social impact assessment methods which are more participatory and empowering. The book employs a range of case studies from Australia, North America and Norway.

Book Description

Non-polemical in its approach, this book provides a comprehensive appraisal of the market and its alternatives, backed up with empirical international illustrations. By identifying the wide transaction area between market and plan, Alan Shipman concludes that the "revolution" to date lies less in recreating market outcomes than in redefining the market process, with large businesses playing a crucial organising role.

More Useful Than Ever in Today's Economy.......2003-01-20

Norma Carr-Ruffino's The Promotable Woman: 10 Essential Skills for the New Millennium, is not only one of the best books out on the market for "early-career" managers whether male or female; it is also a very stimulating and readable guide for anyone who wishes to understand life within dynamic corporations today.

Dr. Carr-Ruffino, a Professor of Management at San Francisco State University, gives very specific, step-by-step coaching on how to navigate difficult bosses, treacherous corporate cultures, male-female conflict, personal stress, life/work balance, and a host of other very real everyday work situations. Women will find the profiles of outstanding female CEOs like Carol Bartz of AutoDesk and Ann Iverson of Laura Ashley both informative and inspiring.

For each of the ten essential skills, the author provides detailed strategies and techniques that are based on her (and our) vision of a networked, collective business environment. Best of all, there is no moralistic preaching here such as you would find in some of the leading personal success strategy books of the 1990's. Everything is direct, realistic and presented from a plain, no-nonsense business perspective.

I have used this book with many of the "early career" executives I coach and to a person, they have thanked me for introducing them to Carr-Ruffino's book. Given the effects of this recessionary economy on all executives' prospects, her advice is more useful than ever. It is a useful tool, as well, for those who want to learn how to practice many of the skills required to create "executive community" in their organizations, instead of remaining as an isolated and turned-off manager.

If You Are New To The Business World.......2002-05-01

If you are new to the business world this book might be helpful, but for someone like myself that has been in business for years, this is just basic business knowledge.
This book was recommended to me to help me move up in my career, however, there is nothing new that Ms. Ruffino wrote that I already didn't know.
She also seems to be lost in years of the male dominated business field because she concentrates on how to beat the males in many ways.
If you know nothing about being a business woman, buy this book, but if you have been in the business world as long as I have, save your money.
It is very dry and you will learn nothing new.

Despite her Ph.D, Carr-Ruffino needs a reality check!.......2002-01-28

I bought this book upon recommendation from a friend, and was sorely disappointed. Firstly, I don't think I've read anything more bland in years - give my senses a break or a pleasant distraction every now and then! Secondly, this could not be more "textbook" if she tried; all of her information obviously came from years of man-hating and of re-wording past research. One can tell from the book's cover to its outdated terminology that she missed her decade (the 80's was more like it). I bought the book wondering what these "10 vital skills" for the new millenium might be, but it instead reinforced my current values and the things that we, as women and as logical human beings, are already well aware: 1. Work hard and with passion. 2. Be creative in everything you do-new ideas fuel business 3. Men are not our enemy - they cannot help being male any more than we can help being female. We ARE different (thank goodness!) 4. Speak up, be heard. 5. Be yourself and be proud of your accomplishments.

My advice-don't waste your money, just trust in yourself. You know your worth. If people aren't listening, use your creativity to make them notice. And remember, if you are competing with men and feel like you're not getting ahead, change your strategy. You can manipulate them and outsmart them faster than they can realize it. After all, we are the smarter sex!

The Promotable Woman.......2000-09-26

The Promotable Woman is a must read for women who want to fast-forward their careers. It is full of great tips and ideas for both men and women who are on the fast tract to success. Norma Carr-Ruffino combine's organizational psychology and business savvy into this readable book that should be a handy reference to any woman wanting to get ahead. Carr-Ruffino points out the advantages that women bring to leadership and the skills that make them especially desirable in today's high tech world. Carr-Ruffino asserts that women understand the issues, needs, and wants of others and provide a leadership style that understands issues of diversity.

The Promotable Woman is not solely for women but offers a great deal of insights for men as well. The book presents a detailed plan for developing solid leadership skills for both men and women. It provides strategies for improving leadership skills including networking tips, negotiation skills, managing stress and ways to handle difficult people. The skill building exercises and techniques are simple, concise, and easy to follow. It also gives guidance on how to overcome barriers that women often face in the business world. The book explores many stereotypes that women must overcome to be seen as solid leaders. One point Carr-Ruffino makes is how women's self-talk can be both a help and a hindrance in their ability to become more successful. Carr-Ruffino also looks at a wide range of management skills and personal issues. She addresses ways women need to speak and dress for success and ways to assert themselves to be more successful in business. Carr-Ruffino gives guidance in handling myths about women as leaders, sexual harassment issues, and techniques in handling difficult people. She encourages her readers to take a careful inventory of what their goals and vision are and to build a strong support network. This book is very comprehensive and provides a great deal of knowledge and expertise into the corporate world. The Promotable Woman is a must read for anyone, male or female, who is looking for promotion and success in today's corporate world.

The Promotable Woman: 10 Essential Skills for the New Millen.......2000-04-14

The book gives an excellent analysis why talented women do not get promoted: internal misconceptions of appropriate goal settings and their communication (Cinderella syndrome, secretarial syndrome). It can be considered a guide for building the proper working relationships with managers and peers, a skill builder for identifying the sources of negative emotions and channeling them, for preventing and overcoming the stress. Compared to the excellent book by Kate White "Why Good Girls don't Get Ahead but Gutsy Girls Do", this book is more analytical and more constructive. It presents broader range of problems women face in the working place and gives valuable advice on how to handle them. Compared to "Hardball for women" by Pat Heim and Susan Golant, this book goes from the description of the 'hardball' type management style natural for men to the analysis of the strength and weaknesses of men and women as managers. It presents an analysis of the modern point of view on the strong versus the weak management style. This analysis witnesses the trends in the modern management style which add the 'women type' patterns of communication to the traditional 'hardball' types. A very interesting and useful reading.
