Book Description
This is a book for Boston visitors interested in the architecture and character of the pre-modern era, as well as for armchair historians desiring a quick but fascinating version of the first two centuries of Boston history. Divided into four periods -- Colonial, Provincial, Federal, and Greek Revival -- the book presents 57 buildings extant in the 1960s.
For each building, in addition to a concise verbal description of its history and function, Howard S. Andros supplies a detailed drawing conveying its character and its form. Maps of downtown Boston and the greater Boston area pinpoint each site's location. The remains of a vibrant older city, increasingly hidden amid today's massive urban reconstruction projects, come alive again in The Buildings and Landmarks of Old Boston.

Graphic novel written & illustrated by Eric Shanower.......2002-01-03
Introduction by Harlan Ellison. Graphic novel (quality paper, comic book format, colored illustrations).
A Very Good Oz Read.......2001-08-25
Shanower continues in the tradition of Oz writers with a classic adventure story. A woman who guards an apple tree (which keeps the magic of Oz alive - if the apples are eaten, the magic dies) is having trouble protecting it from a man who wants to steal the apples. It is classic Oz, presented in comic book-style, meaning there is less than no subtext. There is only a problem when Shanower tries to work a moral into this magical if not original tale, something that Baum swore never to do. Yet, it is still good, and a nice addition to an Oz lovers book collection.
The first volume of an enchantingly great series.......2000-06-16
Eric Shanower is the best contemporary narrator of Oz and a worthy heir to authorship in the body of works started and defined by L. Frank Baum and John R. Neil. In this series of graphic novels Shanower is at his best! Others have done Oz comics with more edge and in a more contemporary style, but none have been truer to the spirit of Oz. His color illustrations bring the land and its characters to life as no other illustrator has ever done. This volume introduces the Ozophile to four new enchanting inhabitants of this magical land who are truly memorable: Valynn (the Guardian of the Enchanted Apples), Bortag (the love-struck but inept Magician), Drox (Bortag's friend the flying swordfish), and the Evil Witch of the South. How these four interact with other well-known inhabitants of Oz makes for an enchanting story. A special added treat is an introductory essay on the importance of Oz by the master fantasist Harlan Ellison. Get it today; you'll love it for the rest of your life.

Product Description
Here's the guide you've been looking for -- written by a successful consultant who has himself written hundreds of winning proposals. In this easy-to-read, easy-to-follow book, consultant Alan Weiss takes you step-by-step through the proposal process from definitions, objectives and essential preparation techniques...through the actual structuring and writing process...and on to the all-important client follow-up.

"That's the key to proposal acceptance," says Weiss, "Collaboration with and agreement by the client prior to anything being committed to paper." In this practical guide you'll learn how to -- Avoid gatekeepers and deal only with the economic buyer (the person who can cause a check to be signed); Establish boundaries and avoid "scope creep."; Effectively convey the value of the project; Frame your intervention in terms of outcomes rather than cost; And much more. Let this detailed, how-to guide lead you to consulting success, before, during and after the proposal process! Book & CD
Customer Reviews:
A Practical Blueprint ..........2007-09-08
Worth whatever the current going price is as you read this.
Good for you if you need a blueprint or a template for creating winning proposals for consulting assignments.
I would suggest that you use this along with information freely available from Perry Marshall.
Excellent........2007-03-08
Although I tend to find that most of the books in the "Ultimate" series have lot's of repetition, each is specific on its focus. It's difficult to dissociate the topics in his other books completely. For example, I find it quite normal for a discussion on proposals to also include a topic on fees or customer interaction. Alan Weiss has two seperate books on these specific examples. I recommend that you buy the entire series. Sure it's a few hundred bucks and you will find that in total about 50% of the content is repated elsewhere. But that's fine. It will only sink in better and what really counts is that on aggregate you get excellent value for your money.
Excellent but Redundant.......2007-02-15
This book contains all you need to know regarding the preparation of a consultancy appraisal. Alan Weiss is truly the expert when it comes to this. I will say this, however. Unless you require the additional "hand holding" contained herein, you can get essentially the same wisdom from his book "Million Dollar Consulting Toolbook". I agree with another reviewer that if you cannot afford spending a hundred bucks or so to help get your business started, you probably are not adequated capitalized. However, there is no sense in spending a hundred more than you have to. If you can afford it, buy this one, if not, get the other one i mentioned.
Looking for a book that is TOTALLY appropriate for the PROFESSIONAL Consultant? Seek no further!.......2007-02-07
For the first time, and I do not know why, I have found a book that is full of relevant advice, common sense, and just good stuff all round! Since the start of my career as a consultant in 1989, and not finding anything like this, this book is going to revolutionize any consulting practice. A definite "NEED TO" book for ALL consultants who call themselves PROFESSIONAL. Allan, to you, just complements.... Will meet you somewhere along the path...
How to Write a Proposal That's Accepted Every Time - You Need This Book!.......2005-12-17
I purchased this book earlier this year. While we don't often submit written proposals, we used the techniques to close over $200,000 in business in the first few months.
Then, mid-year we had four different opportunities to submit written proposals. I used the checklists and templates to craft winning proposals. We actually decided not to do business with one client after working through the proposal. The other three proposals were accepted. The three written proposals were worth $417,000.
I'd say my $149.00 investment had a huge ROI and will continue to do so.
This book is a MUST HAVE for new and seasoned consultants. Alan gives the best information you can find. He gives you practical and applicable information based on his own model of success. Also read The Million Dollar Consultant...unless you're not interested in succeeding as a consultant.
Customer Reviews:
President, Albertson Performance Group, Inc........2006-07-12
Conservatively, this book has helped me earn at least an extra $[...] in personal income and has probably helped my consulting and other services clients earn millions beyond what they would have earned otherwise.
I have 100% of my clients buy this book and Alan's "Value-Based Fees" and have them read both within the first 30 days of working with me. Without exception they complain about how much the books cost until they land their first deal where they deliver, often for the first time, what their clients really want/need and get paid as much as 4X their normal rates with new and old clients thanking them for delivering so much more value for the dollar. See the testamonials at [...] for inspiration.
Alan Weiss is the master, in my opinion, of delivering the win-win-win. The reader wins, the reader's business wins, and the reader's clients are the biggest winners.
If you can't make this book earn 100X it's cost in the next 90 days you probably shouldn't be in business.

Book Description
Most Americans support the elimination of race and gender prejudice and inequality, yet attitudes toward solutions have fluctuated since the civil rights movement began. A heated debate over the explicit use of race- and gender-based categories has taken center stage in the 1990s, and all eyes are on California, a precedent-setting state since establishing its first antidiscrimination policies in 1934 (federal policies followed almost a decade later). Paul Ong's collection of cogent social policy analysis and careful research intervene in these debates with grounded and complex assessments of the present and future of affirmative action. Chapters explore programs and outcomes in higher education, federal and state contracting, public employment, and minority- and women-owned businesses.
