Healthy Beginning Guidance On Safe Maternity At Work

Book Description

Most books about personal finance promise to make you rich overnight, or they make you feel bad about your past financial choices. They don't help you prioritize what you should do today, what you can do next week, and how you can establish an ongoing action plan to manage your finances. How can you save for the future when you are broke today? How can you avoid juggling credit card payments and other bills? What if a medical emergency occurred? Will you ever be able to afford a vacation to Hawaii? The good news it that whether you sink or swim is up to you and Degunking Your Personal Finances can really help! And even if you have had problems with debt in the past, you can change your financial future for the better. Degunking Your Personal Finances will give you the help you need immediately to put your financial picture into perspective. The book explains in plain language what you really need to know about your finances and how to manage them--with a minimum of pain and suffering! Degunking Your Personal Finances gives you a 12-step, easy-to-follow, financial management plan that everyone can follow! Even if you think you'll never straighten out your finances, this book will show you how to take one step at a time to degunk your financial situation. Degunking Your Personal Finances will put you in control by helping you to get out of debt or prevent you from getting into trouble in the first place. It uncovers the mysteries of setting up a useable budget that's based in reality (not fantasy), making the right financial decisions every day, setting up college saving accounts, what types of loans work for you and against you, and how to enjoy a great standard of living without having mountains of bills.

helpful and accesible.......2005-08-16

Degunking Your Personal Finances is good advice from someone who clearly has seen a lot of different financial situations with her clients. It's an easy read with stories and tips that keep in moving along. I had the pleasure of interviewing Shannon Plate about her book on my Internet radio show, wsradio.com/everydaywealth and found her to exude the same "want to help" approach that her book takes.

An excellent and informational packed read.......2005-07-26

In reading this book it seems to have a personal voice instead of dry boring facts. It has even been very handy to use as a reference book. Not only has it provided me with very useful financial advice and idea's, but has also helped me better understand my credit history (and how to improve my credit future) and further my investment knowledge.

Great for getting your financial life in order..........2005-06-20

Getting into financial difficulties is far too easy in today's society, and getting out is a struggle. Shannon Plate has written a book that will greatly aid you in the process of getting your financial house in order... Degunking Your Personal Finances (Paraglyph Press).

Contents:
Why Are My Finances All Gunked Up?; Where Do I Start Degunking My Finances?; Organizing Your Financial Life; Creating a Clear Picture of Your Financial Situation; Degunking Your Credit and Debit Cards; Degunking Your Consumer Debt; Degunking Your Home and Mortgage; Degunking Your Housing and Living Expenses; Degunking Your Savings and Investments; Degunking Your Credit Report; Fine-Tuning Your Budget; Degunking Other Expenses; Degunking Your Taxes, Benefits, and Insurance; Finding Hidden Money; Putting Your Computer and Other Technology to Work; Improving Your Credit Security; Backup and Emergency Planning; Index

All the Degunking titles are set up to have you follow a 12 step program that, if followed, will greatly improve the area being "degunked". In this case, it's your financial affairs. Plate starts out with the very basic first step... set up an area where you can organize all your financial papers. If they're scattered all over the place, the internal resistance and effort is multiplied. Then figure out where you really are with your finances, and start on cleaning up your credit and debit cards. Each additional step builds on that base and works up through the final step. Many of the later steps are ones that you can implement at any time (like implementing a financial security program, backing up financial records, etc.), but it all follows in a logical order. The author also doesn't offer any quick fixes to your problems. It's work to get out from under the pile, but if you structure your approach to doing so, it may not be quite as bad as you thought. And it's definitely not as bad as continuing to go down the same path and finding yourself unable to get credit due to bankruptcies or such...

Degunking Your Personal Finances is a well-written book that's personable and enjoyable to read. The author's personality shines through, and it's easy to follow her steps and suggestions to start cleaning up your life. And even if you think you have everything under control, you'll probably find some things in there that you can implement that will make your good situation even better. A highly recommended read...

Best book on finances!.......2005-05-28

Finances sometimes being a difficult and stressful topic, I was extremely relieved at the ease of navigating and digesting the information in this well done book. The way the author uses humor and examples from her own experiences in her writing made me feel like I was sitting down having a conversation with a close friend. This book is the best I've seen on this topic!

Degunking Your Personal Finances.......2005-05-10

I wish they would give a book like this to everyone entering college (before they offer all those credit cards!) This book offers great ideas on cleaning up credit and being more aware of the purchases you make. Like all the Degunking books, it is easy to read and not boring like most personal finance books! I definitely recommend this book to people who are trying to get a higher credit rating.

Book Description

Motivation: A Biobehavioural Approach provides the reader with an understanding of why individuals exhibit certain behaviors, and what causes these actions. Roderick Wong presents an analysis of motivated behavior such as sexual activity, parental behavior, food selection, and fear or aggression, from a biological perspective. Each chapter focuses on the individual systems underlying specific motivational states that result in motivated acts. The author discusses similarities, differences, and integration between these motivational systems throughout the volume. Using a framework derived from research and theory from animal behavior and comparative psychology, he analyzes relevant issues in human motivation such as mate choice, nepotism, attachment and independence, sensation-seeking, obesity, and parent-offspring conflict. This book will be particularly useful for undergraduate students in psychology or behavioral science taking courses in motivation and emotion, comparative psychology, animal behavior, or biological psychology.

Book Description

Albert Einstein was an exceptional human being. Perhaps nothing reflects the breadth and scope of his brilliance, his interests, and his influence better than his publications -- more than six hundred scientific papers, books, essays, reviews, and opinion pieces. Einstein began publishing in March 1901 with a scientific work that appeared in the German journal Annalen der Physik when he was twenty-two; the last publication was an editorial in the journal Common Cause which appeared a few months before his death in 1955. In the fifty-four-year interval, his published work ranged widely over relativity theory and quantum physics, nationalism, Judaism, war, peace, and education. Indeed, Einstein's literary output was so abundant that even many of his most informed admirers are not familiar with all of it.

The Einstein Almanac takes a look at Einstein's year-by-year output, explaining his three-hundred most important publications and setting them into the context of his life, science, and world history. Concentrating primarily on Einstein's scientific and humanitarian writings, Alice Calaprice summarizes most of the papers and describes meaningful events surrounding their publication, including Einstein's personal life, his travels, the work of other scientists, social and cultural developments at the time, and national and international events. Enjoyable and informative, The Einstein Almanac provides a unique perspective on Einstein's genius -- and his humanity.

Einstein's writings.......2005-05-22

This fine book is essentially a chronological bibliography of Einstein's writings. While not exhaustive (Calaprice uses the word "selected"), this book provides a good real glimpse into what Einstein actually thought and researched and wrote as a scientist, philosopher and humanist from 1901-1955. Serious fans of Einstein (like myself) who don't have the multi-volume Collected Papers of Albert Einstein at arm's length will find this little book quite useful. Here you find the titles of articles, papers, essays, and even interviews accompanied by the originals in German (where appropriate). Descriptive or explanatory comments follow most of them. Did you know that Einstein studied the meandering of rivers? He wrote some illuminating papers on this geological question. Or that he and Leo Szilard patented home refrigeration by the "Einstein-Szilard pump"? Most standard biographies wouldn't mention these. But an Einstein almanac might. This one does. (The important scientific papers are of course not neglected.)

To place Einstein's life in context, Calaprice includes many historical and scientific events - some of which bear only a remote relevance to Einstein. I personally think these can be replaced by more biographical info. For example, what James Watson and Murray Gell-Mann did, while interesting and important, hardly merit entry into an Einstein Almanac. What Otto Hahn did is more relevant and may be included. There are other books on the history of science in the twentieth century and even more on the history of historical events. My idea of an Einstein almanac would exclude anything not directly related or relevant to Einstein. If it were up to me, any event not directly involving Einstein I would ruthlesssly exclude.

This is my main humble criticism (and my own opinion). One other shortcoming is that few personal letters are included. But this is quite understandable because letters don't usually carry titles. Also, Einstein wrote so many letters in his lifetime that to list them all and summarize them with comments would be a herculean task. For letters, interested students should refer to the CPAE. But I think a separate chapter on the most important letters Einstein wrote might be a good idea for the next edition (if any). Some of Einstein's most incisive thoughts are found in his letters (such as those to Max Born) and a brief overview of these may be useful.

One more suggestion for improvement (bear with me) might be a detailed timeline of Einstein's life. Timelines differ in details. Very extensive and all-inclusive timelines provide a virtually day-by-day chronology. One outstanding example of these would be University of Delaware professor Leo Lemay's Documentary History of Benjamin Franklin, which is an on-going project available on the Web. It gives impressive details of what Franklin was doing and where he was doing it on numerous specific dates. Calaprice's other books about Einstein already have brief timelines. An Einstein Almanac could use a very detailed one. (This book also has a brief timeline of Einstein's early years - but then again not all the details seem to me relevant. A lot of things happened in 1895 for Einstein, but I see no point in mentioning the invention of the Gillette razor, for instance, because this has nothing to do with Einstein, whether or not he used one.) Just listing all of Einstein's personal and scientific activities, rather than non-Einstein events, can be a worthwhile if lengthy task. But an almanac is designed to be full of dates.

Leave out the fat of irrelevant non-Einstein stuff, and build more muscle of Einstein-exclusive matters, and this book could be even better and more useful than it already is. If this book is also an on-going project, then there is room for growth on what is in my view an excellent basis.
