Book Description
from the Introduction
This study will, first, document the historic contributions of women to American architecture; second, analyze the underlying social and economic reasons for the present situation by attracting more women to the profession of architecture. This book is part of the general discussion concerning women in this country; it is part of a trend and, hopefully, this trend will lead not only to further discussion but to constructive activity. One cannot deny the facts, but perhaps many people will disagree with the point of view expressed in this book. The ideas presented here are based upon research, interviews, and discussion with my male and female colleagues and, not surprisingly, there was a diversity of opinions, ideas, and goals, even among the women. The point is not that women are more likely than their male counterparts to have found the answers to the difficult issues confronting the profession of architecture, but that perhaps they are raising new and different questions which are pertinent to its future.

A must-have for the beginning photographer!.......1998-03-17
I went to the library and checked out a stack of books on photography and I also borrowed The New 35mm Handbook from a friend. Since I first picked it up, it has been the only book I needed to get started as a photographer. Not only does it offer technical instruction, but it includes a variety of helpful insights into the different aspects of the photography industry. My learning was enhanced through use of the many charts, diagrams and example photos that accompany the text.

Book Description
This collection is a tribute to a most faithful, true Keynesian, who read, thought, dreamt, and promoted Keynes: Lorie Tarshis (1911-1993). This book is focused on the important impact of Lorie Tarshis's brand of Keynesianism on economic thought in America.
Tarshis was among the first to form part of Keynes's select 'circus', not only witnessing, but actually participating in the making of The General Theory. This memorial includes new reflections on the impact of Keynesianism in the making by many of the eminent early generations of American post-war economists: Galbraith, Goodwin, Kindleberger, Samuelson, Salant, Tobin and Perlman. While their contributions shed more light on how the participants in the process, Tarshis included, effected early Keynesianism, the volume also contains contributions by those such as Moggridge and McQueen who reflect on aspects of the process from yet greater distance. Holzman and Reder recount Lorie Tarshis's subtle contribution, and its direct impact and reverberations are reflected upon in the chapters by Colander, Dimand, Dow, Grimard, McCann and Perlman, and Parker.
This book will be of great interest to scholars interested in the history of economic thought and Keynesian economics.

Book Description
This unique new book offers a comprehensive exploration of career management for nurses. The book covers the lifespan of a career in nursing-from discovering and developing a career to changing and reclaiming a career. The author and expert contributors explore each of these stages from theoretical and practical perspectives, with research-based tools and strategies, and real-life examples throughout illustrating how nurses have successfully managed their careers. A separate unit on reclaiming one's career includes three unique chapters on the stalled career, the impaired career, and overcoming damage and building new credibility. The final two chapters address the importance of building support networks and mentoring. There are also discussions on inquiry letters, resumes, CVs and how to complete a successful interview, with examples of each. Whether you are thinking about a career in nursing, changing careers within nursing, or leaving nursing, this book will be a valuable resource to help you make better, more informed decisions in your career development. A joint publication of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International and NurseWeek Publishing, Inc.

Great Book About Mobile Solutions.......2005-11-28
This book provides all the technical knowledge that is need for busy executives to seriously ponder about how to integrate moble solutions into their company's operations. What is amazing is the simple language that is used.
My favourite chapter is the Art of Mobility (Chap. 10).
Buy this book and it will give you immediate ROI!
Highly Recommended!.......2002-05-23
Authors and consultants Ravi Kalakota and Marcia Robinson emphasize that the mobility revolution is in its early stages and provide insights on its anticipated stages of development. This insightful and authoritative book is well written and well organized. We from getAbstract recommend it to executives, managers and information-technology specialists, though general readers with a jones for high tech also will be blown away.
Nice Executive Overview of Mobile Applications.......2002-05-11
This book presents an excellent executive overview of the mobile applications landscape. The strength of the book is the unique perspective of extending "E-business" investments to the "M-business" -- mobile/multichannel -- environment. It presents the business side of mobile - CRM, SCM, Mobile Office and Mobile portals - without getting mired in the alphabet soup of 3G, GPRS, UMTS etc.
Insight into Mobile Enterprise Applications.......2002-04-27
The landscape of mobile enterprise applications is covered extremely well in this book. Unlike other books that talk primarily about consumer applications, the authors focus on leveraging existing investments in E-business and extending them into the mobile arena. Highly recommend this book if your company is beginning to think about Mobile Applications and next generation IT investments.
Great Overview of Mobile Area.......2002-02-24
I am a newbiew to the whole mobile world. I was intimidated by all the technical jargon that was being thrown around. This book helped cut through the fog and provide a business perspective of "why businesses should care?" and "what apps make sense". I highly recommend this book.

Book Description
In the immediate post-World War II period, Army aviation began to evolve from an observatory role to a mobility role. Helicopter air mobility began to develop in the Army from 1949 onwards. The outbreak of the Korean war assisted and accelerated the acceptance of greater helicopter air mobility within the Army. The Eisenhower period was a golden age for Army aviation, with rapid and extensive developments in air mobility doctrine and tactics. There was also a strong research and development effort to overcome the initial technological lag. These developments allowed the formation of the first air mobile division in 1965 to meet the growing demands of the Vietnam war. This work gives a new understanding of the process of military innovation. Moreover, this case study has important general implications for future military policy-making.
