Review of Chema Madoz's photographs.......2007-08-28

Beautiful soft cover edition begins with a history of Chema Madoz's life written in Spanish with English translation...then continues to page after page of black & white photography by Madoz. It's a great conversation starter and a very good reference source for anyone who is interested in photography ~ in particular, black & white photography.

occ. nurse reads and loves.......2000-03-10

I have reviewed and tried to read numerous books on the osha guidelines but this is without a doubt the best! The information was understandable and informative and the narative was interjected enough to keep me awake. I especially found the section, chapter, on what is osha recordable / what is not most helpful. This chapter alone makes the book worth purchasing. It also provided a generous amount of details on others regulations and inspections tips.

Nishiyama fails to deliver.......2005-12-01

I bought this book as part of my MA dissertation work into the influence of langauge and accent in Japan. I was disappointed with what I found. Since this book was published relatively recently, I was hoping for a modern interpretation of Japanese culture--something that was missing from my literature review. Unfortunatley, I discovered Nishiyama failed to take into account modern-day Japan, but instead seems to reflect upon the Japan of 30 years ago. As a resident of Japan, I was interested in how Japanese business people would view some of Nishiyama's main points regarding Japanese culture, so I shared some of his observations of Japanese culture with students of mine during a business English class. They also tended to think that the protrait Nishiyama paints of Japan is outdated. If you're looking for a book that gives both an accurate and modern picture of Japan, then I would recommend you look elsewhere.

Quick and Informative Read.......2002-05-13

Interesting and quick read. A broad and helpful guide for business or social interaction with Japanese nationals. Surveys typical cultural characteristics and philososphies driving them. Proposes a number of situations that might arise and provides suggestions regarding acceptable etiquette. Excellent for avoiding cultural insults.

Do's & Don'ts Not Enough for Intercultural Communication.......2000-04-14

Japan is one of the largest economic superpowers. With skyscrapers and American fast-food chains, a first glance of a city may provide the impression that Japan is truly westernized. Yet, despite the appearances, Japan has remained "uniquely Japanese" in many aspects, which makes many uninformed Western businesspeople in Japan confused and even frustrated. Doing Business with Japan: Successful Strategies for Intercultural Communication provides a quick overview of Japanese history and social structures, and explains the meanings of Japanese customs that are typically seen in business occasions in Japan. Nishiyama covers a wide range of topics, from a typical living situation in Japan to conflict resolution in Japanese companies.

Kazuo Nishiyama attempts to guide American businesspeople that are planning to do business in Japan with a better understanding of Japanese business customs. Familiar with both Japanese and American customs, the author approaches various aspects of Japanese culture that many Americans businesspeople question, such as establishing business relationships with the Japanese. He also includes a glossary of Japanese terms and concepts that provides an easy reference for busy businesspeople.

The risk of this book, however, is that it can read more as a quick guidebook for American businesspeople to come to terms with Japanese unwritten business rules, rather than as a book to learn successful intercultural communication techniques to conduct business in Japan. Nishiyama includes few descriptions and explanations of American customs. His book does not provoke any self-awareness among the reader. Therefore, American businesspeople will tend to continue thinking that Japan is especially unique and they are normal, which makes mutual understanding more difficult. Also, he often advises Americans to adjust to Japanese customs, such as sending gifts, which might appear ethically wrong to Americans. In order to establish a long-term relationship between people with different customs, this one way adjustment will be problematic at some point. Therefore, it would be desirable if Nishiyama could show how to search for a common ground between the cultures.

For those who are very new to Japan and need "do's and don'ts" in order to avoid mistakes in the beginning, this book is useful to grasp the general rules for doing business in Japan. But for those who are more interested in Japanese culture or want to establish long-term relationships in Japan, this book falls short in explaining all of the complexities of the Japanese culture that are crucial to understand for effective intercultural communication.

Book Description

With the pitfalls, and aggravations of the typical salesperson in mind, Beverly and Daryl DeJean [Dee-jon] have developed a pocket-sized confidence-building guide titled The WINd in Your Sales. To develop assertiveness, rebuild confidence, and motivate salespeople, The WINd in Your Sales is an essential guide that everyone in America's workforce should have. Whether working as an attorney, doctor, business entrepreneur, or even a mother, the advice and recommendations will allow the reader to reevaluate a situation and change their perspective. One tidbit in the book, entitled Volcanic Eruption, reminds the avid salesperson to begin a pitch by focusing on the customer's needs before raining volumes of information about the product down on the prospect.

Gary W. Lane, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at NXEGEN, Inc., says, "Sales professionals will use the book as a reference guide or pass it along to others to get `recharged' and `refocused'."

If you are serious about your career in sales, this is a fun way to learn and be reminded of how to improve relationships and close the deal - no matter how difficult. The book's dedication to "The World's Greatest CEO" is further proof of the authors' awareness of what really matters in life and what ultimately makes the difference in winning or loosing.
