An autobiography of her career........1998-01-25

I enjoyed the story behind the photos. It is an interesting look at the photographer, more revealing than Magaret Bourke-Whites biography. If anything is lacking, it could have included more photos.

Book Description

Written by leading international authors, this book presents a comprehensive review of forests in mountain regions, and their sustainable development. It is based on a report prepared by the IUFRO Task Force in Sustainable Mountain Development, for the IUFRO Congress to be held in August 2000. The book addresses current issues and initiatives, and defines research needs. Key global topics are addressed in general articles, and many specific regional issues, e.g. impacts on forest lakes in Ecuador, are described in shorter case studies.

Book Description

Banking and investment in Mexico have changed radically over the past decade, and the economic events that prompted these changes will have a significant impact on Mexico's role in regional and world financial markets. Adams traces the evolution of Mexico's banking and investment activities, reviews current conditions and their implications for future investment opportunities in Mexico, and makes clear that what happens to Mexico's economy and political stability will have major implications for what happens elsewhere in the world. One of the first books to look at banking and investment in Mexico after the peso crash of 1994-1995, with a highly detailed bibliography and notes, Adams's study will be important reading for international business, finance, and investment professionals and for their colleagues with similar interests throughout the academic community. The fate of both Mexico and the United States is that the two countries are forever tied by geography. The historical evolution of the dual interaction between the peoples of these two nations is and will be significant for the future of both countries. With this in mind, the book is divided into chapters reviewing such themes as the interaction and historical financial events that transpired during the advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the expansion of cross-border financial and investment services, as well as a framework and background review of the events leading up to and resulting from the devaluations of the 1970s and 1980s, and more recently the evolution of the peso crisis of 1994-1995. The imperceptible yet gradual economic integration of the two economies has required time in developing, while not always being seamless in its implementation and transition. American macroeconomic policy has long had a direct impact on the economy of Mexico, as is evidenced by the impact of U.S. interest rates on the financial underpinnings of the Mexican treasury and the banking system to assist with the overall economic growth of the nation. An appreciation for the historically sensitive issues and perspectives, be they nationalization of the oil industry, immigration, or market access for foreign financial services, is paramount to a fuller understanding of doing business on both sides of the border.

Useless.......2006-01-11

This is definitely a waste of time & money. It's more of a dictionary than a thesaurus. They just don't provide enough synonyms & that's what I'm looking for.

Indexed is better.......2005-08-31

I just purchased this thesaurus (if you can call it that) for my office. It was a total waste of money. I can't tell you how many times I have looked up a word and it is not there. And for those that are included, there are no unique synonyms...I had already thought of them all. I actually logged on to purchase the original Roget's, but thought I should let others know that they are better off with a traditional indexed thesaurus than this useless thing.

very poor.......2003-08-16

I would have to say that this is the biggest waste of a reference book that I have ever come across. There are very few synonyms and it reads more like a dictionary than a thesaurus.

For example, the word "fear" first gives a long definition and the following synonyms: affright, apprehension, dread, fearfulness, fright, funk, horror, panic, terror, trepidation. That's it, 11 synonyms! My pocket thesaurus, which I had intended to replace with this one, lists more than 60 synonyms!

In addition, many words that I looked up - common words like "novice" don't even have their own entries! As an aspiring writer, I find Roget's New Thesaurus absolutely useless. If you have any concept of the English language, don't buy this book. You'll be sorely disappointed.

Book Description

This completely new edition of ROGET'S II: THE NEW THESAURUS, THIRD EDITION, based on the lexicographical foundation of THE AMERICAN HERITAGE(R) DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, THIRD EDITION, combines the most useful features of a thesaurus and a dictionary. The alphabetical arrangement of entries makes it easy to find the synonym lists. A precise definition of each synonym ensures accurate word selection. Complete synonym groups at every entry give the user all the exact synonyms of a word in one place. Each entry in ROGET'S II: THE NEW THESAURUS, THIRD EDITION contains a cross-reference to a unique Category Index. This index lists groups of entries that are related or opposite in meaning. For example, at the word "comfort", the user is referred to the category help. Related words such as "accessory", "obliging", and "encourage", as well as words of opposite meaning such as "abuse", "harmful", and "discourage", are listed under the help category. Each of these words leads the user back to a full entry for that word.

Monotonous.......2002-07-10

While the storyline is not great, it does explain all the words in alphabetical order.

The description of antidisestablishmentarianism was most enlightening though. The ending was a little predictable, the build up to a description of zytoplasm disappointing.

A little more imagination required here, I could find no reference to common terms such as bum bandit, hand shandy, shirt lifter and fudge nudgers.

Terrible choices; Not thorough enough........2002-05-11

I do NOT recommend this reference book. It has very little synonyms and merely takes up shelf space.

One of the best on the market.......1999-08-21

This is a great thesaurus. Easy to read, easy to understand. If you are looking for a top notch, high quality, inexpensive thesaurus, this is the book for you. I recommend this highly without reservation.

Very weak.......1999-03-27

Not for use by writers or anyone interested in the language

This reference book is terrible!.......1998-11-11

I wish I had bought the Roget's International version. There are so few synonyms in this thesaurus--and if I want definitions, I'll use the dictionary. Synonyms: worthless, useless, stink-o

Book Description

How to capitalize on the biggest trend in business! Building a small business can be a major challenge for anyone. In today's modern workplace, women continue to have a unique set of obstacles to overcome as small business owners: skepticism from friends and family, difficulties obtaining credit and financing, and, generally, more scrutiny than male competitors.

Whether you're about to build a business from the ground up - or buy an existing one - Small Business Savvy shows you how to succeed. Authors Normal J. Rist and Katina Z. Jones are entrepreneurial pioneers who have successfully launched their own small businesses, as well as worked as consultants to more than 500 women-owned businesses across the country. These two incredible mentors are your guides through the process of creating, launching, and expanding your business. They've seen it all, and understand the issues you face every day as a female small business owner.

The authors show you all the ropes of small business ownership, including:
How to thrive in even the worst economic times
When it's worth taking a risk - and when to sit tight and await the "right" moment
How women can crack any market
Whom to turn to for advice in making pivotal decisions
How to build a business that makes money while you sleep
How to know when it's time to change your business

Whether you're opening a small boutique or running your own public relations firm, Small Business Savvy has the facts, figures, and, best of all, the advice you need. Take it from your mentors, Norma and Katina, who've already "been there and done that" - if you believe in yourself, you, too, can succeed as a small business owner.

Practical and Humorous Biz.......2003-08-22

The authors present all kinds of useful ideas that I can implement right now, from bartering for services to collecting money due, i.e.,the nuts and bolts of a business. Tact and sensitivity are strong characteristics of dealing with prople, and I can tell that the authors have had much experience and success in this area. "Common entrepreneurial mistakes" such as charging too little is easy for business women to fall into, since we are used to giving our all to our families; therefore we tend not to value our efforts as much as we should.

I really like this book and plan to give copies to friends as Christmas gifts.

Norma Rist's and Katina Jones' book helped me succeed!.......2002-05-23

Small Business Savvy is the most comprehensive book I've ever read on building a business, and the best book I've ever seen on clearing the distinct hurdles a woman-owned business presents.

Rist and Jones take turns exploring the start-up, marketing, pricing, and myriad in-between issues women owners face. Their ability to draw from those who've gone before is key. Not only do you soak up their considerable insights, but you get practical, illuminating anecdotal illustrations of hundreds of women whose successes and struggles are described as a learning tool. You get real, solid action plans instead of vague principles. With the first chapter you know what works and what does not, from real women business owners who've been there and from the authors' knowledgeable advice.

This book is a must-read for any woman considering or already entrenched in owning a business -- men, too. The principles work (I've tried many of them!) and the advice is a business saver and grower. This booke enables me to confirm places in my own business model where I have made right and wrong decisions...and receive direct methods for correcting the wrong ones. Outstanding!!!!

This is a MUST READ for women who are starting a business.......2002-01-16

What a resource!! I found so many practical ideas and helpful suggestions in this book. I wish I had this book in my hands when I started my consulting business 4 years ago. The ideas about marketing the business and how to set up a financial system are particularly helpful. Lots of real life examples made the book interesting as well.
