Constructing a winner.......2000-08-12
In this beautifully illustrated volume, Margaret McCurry, a Chicago architect, details the process of creating 25 projects, from homes and art galleries to a high rise office building. The book is valuable particularly for its discussion of the interplay between the architect and the client and the contributions each brings to the final design. A book for anyone planning to undertake an architectural project, or who has an interest in the process of creation. It's well written, in clear and often humorous detail.
Book Description
The objective of this text is to teach game theoretic principles by example in order to convey the concepts in a non-technical way. Game theoretic principles are the same across a wide field of applications, yet students typically find examples in their own fields easier to relate to. This book focuses on providing a true interdisciplinary perspective that draws upon applications from many different areas of study such as management, strategic planning, competitive intelligence, military operations, economics, political science, finance, etc.

The book makes good use of examples and follows many common examples as the learning progresses throughout the book. Chapters are broken up into managable pieces coupled with end of chapter learning exercises. The text and charts do contain a number of errors.

Book Description
The Theory of Economic Growth compares the main theories of growth from Adam Smith to the present day in order to isolate their logical structures, theoretical domains and methodological underpinnings. The book provides original solutions to theoretical questions still debated in contemporary literature and points out new directions for further research.
The authors carry out a `vertical' or in-depth analysis of the three main schools of thought: classical, Keynesian and neo-classical. They perform a `horizontal' analysis of a wide range of items connected with growth theory, such as competition, technical change, division of labor, business cycles, the impact on environment, and the financial intermediation. Attention is also given to the evolutionary approach to economic growth.
This book will be of great interest to scholars of economic growth, macroeconomics, and historians of economic thought.

Khalid Almedfaie - review on a bank teller simulation.......2007-07-05
I have ordered the book. It explains how to use this book along with the simulation software.
it is totally useless as no software was included.
I hope Amazon take this into consideration and do something about it.
I don't recommend this book as its not complete.

The book could have been helpful, but is useless without the CD. I cannot figure why it is offered for sale if the simulation CD is not included. I returned the item for a refund.

Customer Reviews:
Depends on what you're looking for.........2006-02-09
I was hoping for a resource that might be helpful for a little extra study for my new job as Teller. This book fell quite short of my expectations. The book costs $24.95 so I didn't expect the moon, but it was a bit disappointing. Several chapters were dedicated to advising the reader on how to handle themselves on a job.All but the most common negotiable instruments were mentioned, on the other hand she offered a sound treatment on the most critical aspects of the job on a day to day basis, such as security, settling, and check cashing , still were it that simple!Having just completed teller training, I have to say that any financial institution would have given you these basics at least, the book is more of a Teller development guide, if you're hoping for some extra help with operations, it's not really here.
The content might best be described as MENTORING in a book. For those working in very busy locations you may also wonder at the reality of the job of a Teller as she envisions it.
A Must-have Handbook for Tellers.......1998-11-01
Its topics are superb in enhancing tellers' banking knowledge, or bankability quality. Not only it can be considered or drafted in part of the banking institutions' training manuals. It serves to boost your self-confidence in opting for this profession as your career prospect. You will definitely enlightened as I had; that changed my minds to remain in this frontline business rather than to some administrative position. You would not regret reading it or even to the extend of buying it for your library collection as I did.
Book Description
THE BANK TELLER explores the desire within each of us to overcome our isolation and to see and be seen by the other in a relation of authentic connectedness. Peter Gabel asserts that this desire for “mutual recognition” is the very foundation of our social being, and is as fundamental in the spiritual realm as the need for food and shelter is in the material realm. He shows how the fear of humiliation blocks our capacity to become fully present to each other and leads us to collectively reproduce an alienated and artificial society that isolates us from one another and from the capacity to fully experience the natural world. In a series of strikingly original essays, Gabel shows how “the opening up of desire” requires a fundamental challenge to our existing social institutions and a new political strategy that invents new forms of work, friendship, and community.

A compelling and provocative case.......2003-04-30
Were the 60's a special time in history for nascent communal meaning and purpose, or were we just young and foolishly optimistic about our generation's ability to change the world? Reading this brilliant series of essays brought back to me, a 56 year old lawyer, the spirit and intellectual joy of times I had long since forgotten about. But heck, I'm not giving up now after taking this stimulating course by Peter Gabel offering a rich, resonating, carefully crafted, and highly persuasive political philosophy revealed in ever increasing fullness with every turned page. There is much here for anyone interested in benefitting from what has clearly been a lifetime of scholarly commitment by the author to the pursuit of truth regarding the fundamentals of being and human interaction.
This remarkable body of work will generously reward the time taken to read and reflect upon it. Although the author makes no apologies as he directly challenges the conventional political and social mores of today, he makes a strong and well corroborated argument for the ultimate triumph of hope, leading to the emergence of caring interpersonal recognition and confirmation as the twin bedrocks of a new and everlastingly meaningful society.
Social Transformation Explained?.......2001-01-10
Can Peter Gabel's "The Bank Teller and other Essays on the Politics of Meaning" take you where you've never gone before, philosophically, politically, and spiritually? It's worth a look:
First, Gabel safely assumes what all of us already know: our communal project seems marked by gridlock, deadlock, decay and cynicism, while our private project seems marked by the Internet "revolution", giddy expectations of "progress", and the claimed constancy of change. Interestingly, by tracing out the political, sociological and psychological roots of these phenomena Gabel makes a telling diagnosis: we are witnessing nothing less than the privatization of hope and social desire itself, where anything is possible personally but nothing is possible politically. Symptoms of the suppression of hope and social desire are the dysfunctions that fill the papers of the day, the desperations going hand-in-hand with the alleged peaks of success.
These ideas, fleshed out, would seem a decent accomplishment for one book, but Gabel goes further. Rather than simply bemoaning the twins of cynicism and suppression of social desire, Gabel explains and elaborates on it with a credible psycho-political framework, explaining just how the suppression of social desire manifests itself throughout society. This framework constitutes a large new contribution to the "Politics of Meaning" framework co-developed with Michael Lerner. Key among the processes suppressing social desire is a "rotating lack of confidence in the desire of the other", perhaps also thought of as a learned doubt that another person will respond positively to an expression of enthusiasm (based in a fear of humiliation). Many a preacher or would-be lover can testify to the primacy of this terror and Gabel is dead-on in explaining its role in culture and society.
But in the series of essays that comprise the book, Gabel elucidates not only the implications of the supression of social desire, but also the implications of its release historically (certain parts of the 60s) and prospectively. Taking seriously the idea that humans are creatures of meaning (of which modern "competitive man" is just one dysfunctional subset) Gabel both describes the kaleidoscope of society and begins to describe possibilities for changing social patterns when the kaleidoscope is turned by the emergence of social desire.
It's been reported that in Japan a dating service has distributed sensors that are worn around a necklace and which allow the user to choose various options such as "movie", "conversation", or "love", depending upon what one wants to experience. The sensors then beep whenever another person who has selected the same option comes within ten meters, and the two can meet. On the personal level, this is one clever, if crude, method of overcoming the "lack of confidence in the desire of the other" Gabel writes about. Similarly, on the sociopolitical level, Peter Gabel's book is quite the tease. If you care at all about transforming society, we should have a match. And it should be quite the evening. ++++++++++

From the supplier: Most commercial banks have deployed automated teller machines (ATMs) to serve as transactional channels in providing banking services to its clients 24 hours a day. Advertising experts are beginning to see these machines as more than mere 24-hour bank branches. ATMs can also be effective in delivering targeted messages and added-value options that help in developing their customer base while promoting products and services designed for specific customer needs.
