Not What I Had Hoped.......2000-10-16

I was hoping to purchase a book that covered digital photography in some detail, from composition to lighting to equipment limitations. In particular I was looking for an in-depth look at the tactics and strategies of digital photography. Sadly, this book did not fit the bill for me. It's scope is too large and covers topics that I had no interest in -- scanning, printing, file manipulation, stock art, and other "off-topic" subjects. The title is misleading on that front. I would suggest the title be changed to something like "Digital Imaging: Capturing, Manipulating, Scanning, and Printing" It is a nicely presented book, but not what I had hoped for and expected.

Book Description

Beyond Free Coffee and Donuts provides today's training and development professional with creative and effective ways to capture the attention of an increasingly overtaxed learner audience. This is not just a book of quick tips and techniques to help trainers fill empty seats, but offers a more valuable brand of advice on how to get the right learner in those seats.

A Good Read!.......2004-06-03

Employee development manager Sophie Oberstein and marketer Jan Alleman show why and how training programmers need to become marketers. To help you meet that demand, their workbook explains to trainers how to create and implement a marketing strategy that proves training programs boost the bottom line. They also spend time on the critical area of motivation. The authors provide a useful tool-kit for designing a marketing plan, including instructions on writing and designing promotional materials. The book serves as a good introduction to marketing for its primary target market, so we can recommend it confidently to professionals involved in training and development. One caution: the workshop format of the book is great if you are learning, and want to stop to answer questions or fill in the blanks, but it doesn't make for smooth reading.

Great Book for the Everyday Trainer.......2003-07-03

In the introduction, the author sets the stage perfectly for this book. She says that this book does not exist to help trainers get more "get butts in seats." No, Oberstein's argues that the optimal situation for a trainer is to have the right people in the right class. The right "butts in seats." Seems like common sense, but organizations don't always behave in this fashion. Even more important, Oberstein argues, by getting the right learner in the right class, Oberstein points out that you will have even an more important outcome - respect from your organization. In today's world, what could be more important to trainers.
The ideas in this book are not meant to be groundbreaking, but should act as a reminder that you have more tools in your training marketing toolbox than you ever realized. Where the book shines is how it carefully explains how to use the tools you have more effectively, including everything from simple e-mail notices or flyers posted on lunch room walls to complete marketing campaigns to roll out major initiatives. You will probably find yourself saying more than one time, "that's a good idea" or "I never thought of that." As for value, four or five important "ah-ha's" in any book makes it a valuable book. Readers should find at least this number of important moments of enlightenment in this book and most likely even more. What more could you ask of any book?

Go back to coffee & donuts.......2003-05-08

I had high hopes for this book to be helpful, but starting with the title and going through each page I found no new or original information. The authors seem to have read the very same entry level books I have read and decided to write a book. Its not new information and frankly anyone who is doing this type of work should know this material already. I was very, very dissapointed. Amazon has other books on this subject and I suggest you spend your money there.

Essential for planners, leaders, and sponsors of training.......2003-04-05

This book is intelligently written and very useful. I am planning a full day training session for the top leaders in my business unit. Using this book, I've been able to attract the most motivated participants. Also, I'm understanding better how to gain sponsorship for the program from top execs in the company. I've been able to translate what I think will come out of the session into the measures top execs care about - bottom-line impact. It's been an invaluable guide.

Great Fun from Max Estes!.......2006-05-30

I reviewed Max Estes' first book Hello Again just over a year ago on Amazon and it was a big hit with me. That was a more serious, somber-toned story about confronting one's guilt. Coffee and Donuts is decidedly different in tone, much lighter and a bit of a farce about a couple of down-on-their-luck street cats named Jules and Dwight. Dwight does all the talking in the story. The two cats live their days in a alley dumpster scrounging for food but a mysterious benefactor constantly leaves them coffee and donuts. Determined to change their fortunes, the pair notice an armored car that stops everyday at the same time at a nearby warehouse. They hatch a plot to rob the car but quickly find out they have no clue as to what they are doing. They botch the robbery and find themselves on the run from the cops.

They are caught by a couple of "wise guy" street cats, Myles and Moose who are not happy with them as they had their own plans to rob the armored car. Now the local toughs demand that Dwight & Jules repay them for blowing their job by working from them as loan shark collectors or else they will turn them over to the police. Now Dwight & Jules...two cats who really are a couple of good guys, have to find away to escape the hoods and also avoid the police. And...maybe find out just who is leaving them coffee and donuts.

I had a lot of fun with this book. Max's cartooning style is pretty basic but he paces the story quite well and the dialog is fresh and funny. There's lots of slapstick action as the pair try and avoid Myles and Moose while dodging winos and scaling buildings. I think Max has quite a flair for humor and I'd like to see him continue along this path.

Police reality, not brutality.......2002-01-24

Officer Rubino has worked in a community whose entire infrastructure has many needs, and his starting with the belabored police culture is very appropriate. Although this book was written in 1998, I have just now discovered this author. His constructive suggestions on the placement of improvements would impart the meat of a good documentary, and his personal experience with the use of humor could supply Ron Howard with excellent tragi-comedy for a film about real, hard-working, and principled officers.
The community is my home town, and yes, it has enjoyed low ratings in the "cities one would love to live in" polls over the years (friends have mailed the survey results to me from as far away as Manila, chuckling about Lawrence). With severe requirements for state and federal assistance, Lawrence is still full of wonderful people. Ray Rubino is a Lawrentian who is educated, insightful and talented. A first effort, but a first-rate account.

Alicia Drake Really Knows What She's Talking About.......2002-01-06

I'm impressed. As someone who often shops in Paris, I was amazed that Alicia Drake tells it like it is. Her descriptions of the merchandise at particular stores is dead-on and lively; she's not afraid to call a store overrated (& she's right!) This book makes it easy to plan a shopping trip to Paris since she goes by neighborhoods and describes each store as though you were walking down the street with her. Her recommendations also include descriptions of Parisian neighborhoods and some interesting eating options - mostly for lighter meals, with a strong emphasis on tea houses. Unlike the Born to Shop series (w/ its annoying, snobby/cloying cuteness), she discusses shops in all price ranges, in a clear writing style that allows you to decide if a particular shop is for you.

I hope she turns this into a series.

Book Description

Charlesworth examines themes of poverty and class by focusing on a particular town--Rotherham--in South Yorkshire, England, and using the personal testimony of disadvantaged people who live there, acquired through recorded interviews and conversations. He applies to their life stories the interpretative tools of philosophy and social theory, drawing in particular on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Merleau-Ponty. Charlesworth argues the culture described in this book is not unique to Rotherham and the problems identified in this book will be familiar to economically powerless and politically dispossessed people everywhere.

Download Description

This moving and challenging book by Simon Charlesworth deals with the personal consequences of poverty and class and the effects of growing up as part of a poor and stigmatized group. Charlesworth examines these themes by focussing on a particular town - Rotherham - in South Yorkshire, England, and using the personal testimony of disadvantaged people who live there, acquired through recorded interviews and conversations. He applies to these life stories the interpretative tools of philosophy and social theory, drawing in particular on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Merleau-Ponty, in order to explore the social relations and experiences of a distinct but largely ignored social group. The culture described in this book is not unique to Rotherham and Charlesworth argues that the themes and problems identified in this book will be familiar to economically powerless and politically dispossessed people everywhere.
