ADHD Secrets of Success.......2007-07-27

I found this book to be of great help to me and my family members. We all have some form of ADHD and ADD. This book helps you understand and pinpoint problem areas and strengths. It breaks down everything in steps so one is not overwhelmed by what we need to do to be successful in business, school and life. I recommend this book to anyone with the diagnosis and others who want to understand and help someone with ADHD/ADD.

Still one of the few to address ADHD in the workplace.......2006-04-13

The update to Thom Hartmann's FOCUS ON YOUR ENERGY has been on the market a while now but deserves ongoing mention as still one of the few specific guides to address problems of ADHD in the workplace. ADHD SECRETS OF SUCCESS: COACHING YOURSELF TO FULFILLMENT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD tells how these behaviors can be adapted to successful, creative business solutions. Here he tells how adults who grew up with ADHD became successful in the business world - and chapters chart not just how, but pitfalls along the way.

Full hope and Help! .......2006-01-06

Thom Hartmann's "ADHD Secrets of Success" is a very pragmatic guide to leading a successful life with ADHD. Although this book describes itself as being geared towards the business world and entrepreneurs I would argue that the tips and strategies found within it can be applied to almost any situation. ADHD the Secrets of Success is based on Thom's previous work and builds on his Hunter/Farmer Theory.
Whether you're trying to start your own business or working for somebody else this book will be of immense value. It is filled with clearly outlined step-by-step tips and strategies for almost any situation one might encounter. This book is a definite must read for every ADHD adult.

Good, but his COMPLETE book contains this book!.......2003-09-02

Thom Hartmann is GREAT!

His Hunter/Farmer perspective is really useful.
His Creativity comparison opened my eyes.
And his specific ideas for creating your business like you were creating it with a franchise manual is truly inspired.

BUT
This entire book appears to be copied directly out of COMPLETE GUIDE TO ADHD (2000). I own 3 other books on ADD by Thom Hartman (COMPLETE..., A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, HEALING). I bought the book expecting two years worth of additional insight and maybe a more in-depth treatment of adult ADD and work. But I skimmed it and couldn't see anything that was different (I recently spent a lot of time analyzing and extracting personal & business ideas from COMPLETE... so I could easily recognized blocks of text and headings from memory.
CAVEAT - I did NOT go page-by-page, noting if there were any rephrasing, etc. But my conviction was strong enough I didn't want to waste an hour on this book (and I spent 20-30 hours on the COMPLETE... analysis). And I am starting a new business, so the specific subject was of very much interest to me...

Great book for ADDers.......2002-10-25

I must admit that I was a bit turned off by the word busniess in the title. I think the word employment may be a bit better.
The book itself is great though.

The book has some great ideas to help ADDers become successful with employment. This book alo gives some idea about why many ADDers are not happy in thier current working enviromens.

The book is "ADD Friendly".

The ideas can also be used in other areas than just employment.

Book Description

The authors present a comprehensive and timely discussion of economic capital and financial risk management for financial services firms and conglomerates. Topics covered include: *the different types of risks that firms collect; *risk governance issues; *how stress testing can be used to measure risk; *the provision of a clear and precise definition of economic capital; *the different types of capital that are eligible to back regulatory capital, and; *the development of models that can be used to estimate a firm¿s economic capital requirements. A unique feature of the book is that, for the first time, the economic capital requirements of financial services firms across the entire risk spectrum, from the short end to the long end, are considered in one book. The authors develop models to estimate the economic capital requirements of banks, asset management firms, life and non-life insurance firms, pension funds, and the financial services conglomerates that comprise these firms. Economic capital is compared to regulatory capital and regulatory capital arbitrage is discussed. The diversification benefit present in financial services conglomerates is quantified and the practical management of this diversification benefit is dealt with. The authors give new insights into capital management and performance measurement for financial services conglomerates and provide detailed descriptions of the main financial services firm regulatory capital changes that are ongoing at the time of writing. This superb and original book charts new ground in the practical application of economic capital for financial services firms and conglomerates. It is required reading for all capital allocation and risk professionals.

Book Description

Are lawyers, by their very nature, agents of the state, of capital, of institutions of power? Or are there ways in which they can work constructively or transformatively for the disempowered, the working class, the underprivileged?

Lawyers in a Postmodern World explores how lawyers actively create the forms of power which they and others deploy. Through engaging case studies, the book examines how lawyers work within and for powerful institutions and provides suggestions--both general and practical--for ways in which the practice of law can be made to work with and for the powerless.

Individuals chapters address such subjects as the contradictions of radical law practice; legal work in South Africa; the economics and politics of negotiating justice; feminist legal scholarship and women's gendered lives; the overlapping worlds of law, business, and politics; theories of legal practice; and how lawyers are constitutive of gender relations.

Contributing to the book are Maureen Cain (University of West Indies), Yves Dezalay (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), Martha Fineman (Columbia University), Sue Lees (University of North London), Doreen McBarnet (Wolfson College, Oxford), Frank Munger (SUNY, Buffalo), Wilfried Scharf (University of Cape Town), Stuart Scheingold (University of Washington), David Sugarman (Lancaster University), and Sally Wheeler (University of Nottingham).

An excellent textbook for an introductory geography class.......2003-09-04

This is an excellent textbook for an introductory geography class. The first chapter is a general introduction with an explanation of some of the terms and vocabulary used. The second chapter covers world physical geography. The rest of the chapters each covers a different region of the world. Each chapter is divided into five sections: environment, population and settlement, culture, geopolitics, and economic and social development. This book describes the details of the different regions of the world and gives us a good idea of what life is like in these different regions. And, it ties what we learn about the different regions to the overall theme of diversity and globalization. The accompanying maps and photographs are beautiful.

Product Description

Diversity Amid Globalization explicitly acknowledges the geographic changes in todays world by emphasizing both the homogenizing and diversifying forces inherent to the globalization process. This approach allows the authors to emphasize the interconnections that bind people and places together. The globalization approach challenges students to make critical comparisons between the regions of the world in order to understand them more fully. Examples of the sorts of topics used to accomplish these goals include: * The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in SW Asia. * Aboriginal groups using high-technology tools to forge common political survival strategies. * The economic and political integration of the European Union, contrasted with micronationalism and the factionalism in Europe. * Ethnic diversification in the face of strong participation in the global assembly line in SE Asia. * The globalization and localization of beer consumption and production in the United States and Canada.

Book Description

By questioning the validity of some of our basic concepts, such as space, object, and causality, quantum physics contributes quite decisively to the dramatic changes now taking place in our world picture. This book is addressed not only to physicists at an early stage in their careers (the first or second year graduate student) but also to philosophers, as well as to all the senior physicists interested in the interpretation problem. Beginning with a chapter that could be described as "philosophy for physicists," it presents an in-depth analysis of present-day quantum mechanical concepts, an analysis of physicists and philosophers alike. Specifically, it first offers an extensive critical analysis of such topics as the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen reality criterion, nonseparatability, the quantum measurement riddle, decoherence theory, consistent histories approaches and ontologically interpretable theories. All this then naturally leads to philosophical questions concerning, in particular, intersubjective agreement and the limit of realism. And a thorough examination of this whole material finally leads to the view that distinguishing between empirical reality and a veiled man-independent reality yields an acceptable answer to the perplexing question of how to interpret quantum physics. Veiled Reality offers nonspecialists, including students in physics, philosophy and the history of science, an accessible perspective on basic problems in the foundations of physics.

low quality reprint.......2003-05-21

Be aware that this is more like a bad photocopy. Some mathematical symbols are missing from formulas. Dots of i are also frequently missing. The book is definitely overpriced for the low quality one gets. However, this was the only source I could find to obtain the book.

Book Description

This is volume 1 of a five volume set.

Sholokhov's book introduces the reader to a New World that is not merely the Don Region, but the world of the author's inimitably poetic prose; giving fifteen years of his life to the creation of And Quiet Flows the Don. He began the first book at the age of twenty, in 1926. The last was finished in 1940. While Leo Tolstoy's novel War and Peace (1863-69) immortalized the Napoleonic campaigns to the eve of the Decembrist revolt, And Quiet Flows the Don showed the destruction of the Cossacks and the birth of a new society.

Sholokhov has moment of incandescent literary brilliance.......2007-08-26

Sholokhov is no Tolstoy (as Gorki attempts to equate thuis work to War and Peace).

The Garry translation is no Maude (Tolstoy) translation equivalent.

In this opinion the long sprawling vicious and lustful affair of Gregor and Aksina, --reckless, rollicking and tragic though it was does not approach the depth and meaning of the affair of Bunchuk and Anna--the young ardent revolutionary. The GREAT tragedy in this book is their love affair, the primal. visceral, elemental love of Bunchuk for Anna and the horror of his stunned self negating nether world of mourning, Nothing in the book equals the strength of that narrative in this opinion--and there, the author walked with the greatest of the great Russian Authors despite the Stalionist stench that permeates the attempt at poetry and philosophical substance in the idealistic musings of young Anna.

A brutal book to say the least. I think the character dialogues are the best parts of this book and I think the author should have attempted a play here and there--perhaps approaching Chekov. What was missing from this book? ---That was a scene that one thought was definitely going to happen And that was a final visit to the general's mansion by Gregor. You may say he delt with that in the final and rough hewn leaving of a desperate Aksina--I think not because she was ever on his mind even in pitched battles or their aftermath. NOT his wife--always Aksina. The general's 8000 acres and his Czarist officer son whom Gregor beat up---should have played into the end of this novel----perhaps the sequel may have it, but it surely was missing here.

There was symbolic mood coloring in pastoral and animal discriptions- and how this author loves the color 'lilac'.

A Good read, I hope the sequel is as good----BUT the author was a revered commie---and sooner or latre the party line finds its way in to Soviet era literature--

Insight into Russian history by a Nobel Prize - winner.......2005-06-18

I am glad to see "And Quiet Flows the Don" is back in print! Sholokhov won the Nobel Prize for this novel of war and revolution among the Don Cossack host. Although painted across a backdrop of history, it is primarily the love story of Gregor and Aksinya. As much of great 20th century Russian literature, the style harks back to Tolstoy, but the subject matter is undeniably Soviet. Published in 1929, "And Quiet Flows the Don" was the pinnacle of Sholokhov's career. He never again produced a work to compare, although to be fair to him, his career coincided with the height of Stalinist conformity in the arts. This was an era when simply being a famous writer was dangerous - think of the careers of Pasternak, Babel, and Pilnyak. If Sholokhov descended into the role of a party hack churning out the obligatory Socialist Realist pap, at least he lived to a ripe old age!

Mixed reaction.......2004-04-11

A story about village Cossacks who lived through the first world war, followed by the Russian Revolution, it seems to be modeled upon War and Peace. Despite very negative presentations of women and some Sovietized propaganda throughout, it does provide a view of the Cossack life and culture. However, once the wars begin, the book gets carried away with battle, and the threads of lives introduced at the beginning aren't wrapped up at the end, leaving the reader feeling unfulfilled.

A modern masterpiece.......2003-12-19

I first read this magnificent epic in 1970 and have reread it at least three times since. Sholokhov captures the breath and sweep of the steppes of Russia as he draws the reader into maelstrom of the First World War, the Russian Revolution and Civil War. It is a time and a land that was caught between the modern industrialized West and the near medieval Russia- Cossack Calvary charging German machine guns, the slash of sabers, and the incongruity of machine guns mounted on ox carts.

But more than a story of war, this is a story of people. Sholokhov creates for us characters who we deeply care about. The doomed love affair between the protagonist Gregor and Aksinia is both filled with passion and heartache. We even come to care about Akisina husband, the brutal Stephen, We see them caught up in catastrophic events far beyond their control. Although often cited and an apologist for Stalin, I wondered as I read it why it was published in Soviet Union. Our hero Gregor is first swept up on one side of this conflict to the other- clearly he is not a dedicated revolutionary, but just a man trying to survive in a conflict he cannot comprehend. It is a story of survival, love, and revenge. Since my last reading of this novel probably fifteen years ago, I can still vividly picture in my mind the word images that Sholokhov crafted with his pen. Images as simple as the flies settling on the ceiling of the peasants hut, to Stephen brutally stomping his wife Aksinia. His description of the First World War is brutal, perhaps surpassing Remarques All is Quiet on the Western Front.

Russians write great novels and this is one of the best. If you are unfamiliar with Russian literature you would do well to read Quiet Flows the Don as your first Russian novel.

A vivid and involving epic.......2003-10-03

I have read this book more than 5 years prior to writing this review, but I have yet to read an epic that has as lasting an impression as this one. The author, a humanist to the core, gently weaves the scenes over the myriad of characters. The reader is pulled into the scenes - he doesn't remain a reader. It has a raw, fresh appeal to it, even now. Need I go on?
