Book Description
How to play it like a woman and succeed
"The authors have written a wonderful, insightful book to guide women to the top of the pyramid, and to their fullest potential as leaders and women in the fullest sense of both terms."Mark Bryan, author of The Artists' Way at Work
"Freeing, insightful, validating, and best of all, practical. Any woman who reads this book will be forever changed by it."Patricia Aburdene, author of Megatrends for Women
"Dancing on the Glass Ceiling is a joy of discovery for professional women."Rikki Klieman, anchor, Court TV
Going against the grain of three decades of popular business thinking, Dancing on the Glass Ceiling contends that women have been shooting themselves in the foot by trying to play like a man. Backed by research, interviews, and real-life experiences, authors Candy Deemer and Nancy Fredericks explain why relying instead on feminine-based skills such as intuition, relationship building and communication is more likely to get a woman where she wants to go in businessabove the glass ceiling.
Written in a friendly tone and featuring quizzes and self-assessments, Dancing on the Glass Ceiling is a workshop in a book that gives women the inspiration and practical tools to help them truly transform their careers and their futures.

Dancing on the Glass Ceiling : Tap into Your True Strengths,.......2004-02-17
"Dancing on the Glass Ceiling" is one of the most unique guides available for working women. It's a great read and an even better practical resource.
In my experience, many women struggle to find a balance between their values, their femininity, and their drive to succeed in the workplace (thankfully, having read the book I know for sure it's not just me!) Deemer and Fredericks approach these issues from a unique perspective: being a woman in business is a strength, not a weakness!
Some titles geared towards working women emphasize the "male" way of doing business, as if to familiarize women with how men think when they're at work. They are great guides for anyone interested in the politics of business. "Dancing on the Glass Ceiling" is somewhat different in that it explores how women can benefit from their femininity in the workplace: e.g. how women's unique communication and managerial skills can be harnessed for success. To my knowledge, "Dancing on the Glass Ceiling" is special in this respect - I haven't seen any other titles that would so broadly pull together issues of women's work, their values, and their goals.
As a working woman, I found it liberating to read how I could incorporate my femininity into who I am at the work place. I would highly recommend this title for any woman who is interested in advancing her career and "staying true to herself."
Dancing on the Glass Ceiling.......2003-08-10
Dancing on the Glass Ceiling gave me both life balance and work success. If you follow the 10 steps the authors give you--you can be a SVP at a worldwide company top in it's field and work only three days a week. I feel very lucky to jump from meetings with chairmans to the kids' car pool on a weekly basis. If you want to get what you want out of life hurry and get Dancing on the Glass Ceiling now!
Marianne Ellis, SVP DDB Worldwide
P.S. Don't cheat. Do all the lessons in the book without fail, especially the ones you don't think you need. Those will be the most important ones.
Great professional AND personal advice.......2003-03-08
"Dancing on the Glass Ceiling" is the perfect combination of intuitive and practical advice - just like a woman! The real world examples make the information relevant to any working woman, and lend credibility to the authors' advice.
Jam-packed with great information - all of it useful - this book is well organized with easy-to-implement recommendations. This book is a terrific guide for not just your working life, but your overall life as well! After doing just one or two things the authors recommend, my life has shifted dramatically.

A Woman in Management.......2003-02-22
Dancing on the Glass Ceiling is the best "how to" book I've read on women in management. Thirteen women and two men report to me and we're all reading it. I just wish it had been available ten years ago when I was with a different company and coming up through the ranks; it would have saved me a great deal of frustration and heartache.
Now, the book is helping me to deal not only with my bosses but to effectively manage the people under me. Easy to read, not preachy. Everyone in business should read this book.
Book Description
In a little more than thirty years, the field of experimental economics has gone from obscurity to international recognition with the presentation of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics to Vernon L. Smith, who took a classroom exercise he saw as a Harvard graduate student and turned it into one of the hottest areas in economics. Experimental Economics is an engaging and accessible introduction to the field by Ross M. Miller, one of Professor Smiths first student collaborators and a pioneer in the application of experimental methods to financial markets. His book uses a series of experimental case studies to examine what makes markets work, what can cause them to break, and how experimental methods can be used to repair them.

Customer Reviews:
Useful.......2005-06-08
Miller provides in-depth insight into past financial market events and by doing so sheds light on what might happen today on several fronts. Three examples: His discussion of the 1998 Long-Term Capital Management debacle is relevant for understanding current risks in hedge funds. His analysis of 1980s portfolio insurance should add to concerns about the proliferation of capital guaranteed notes. His take on market circuit breakers, which he describes as regulatory folly, raises the question of what would happen today if these were triggered.
While the book reviews a large and varied body of academic research, focusing heavily on the experimental economics that the author subscribes to, it offers practical conclusions that anybody interested in finance will find worthwhile. As a financial journalist, I found it very useful.
However, because it covers a lot of ground, readers may want to pick and choose what they want to read from the index. The chapter and section headings, while entertaining, are not good guides for this purpose.
Mentions an article of mine in endnotes.......2003-02-07
But that's not my only reason for thinking this a great book.
Ross M. Miller makes three large claims here. I think he makes good on the first two. I'm not so sure about the third, but even there he makes a case that needs to be made.
First, he explains that one branch of economics has become an experimental science.
Second, he says that this variant of economics has produced important results - theorems disclosing how markets might best be structured or restructured, and how the privatization of now-public goods might be accomplished, in ways that could produce enormous productivity gains.
He more pessimistically claims though, thirdly, that these theorems probably won't produce such gains, because in doing so they would hurt politically powerful interests.
The idea of "experimental economics" is simple enough: a college professor need only ask his students to co-operate in a simple auction-based game, so that he (and they) can observe the process by which prices come into existence under simplified conditions. Once a body of observations has developed, he and other experimenters can vary the rules and conditions of the game and observe the effect the changes have upon the trading strategies of the players and the game outcomes.
It was at Harvard University, in the 1940s, that such experiments got their start, in the classroom of Professor Edward Chamberlain. In the decades since, a body of observations has developed that in some respects supports neoclassical economic theory, but that in one crucial respect calls for its modification. Neoclassical theory needs to be modified to account for the possibility of irrational price bubbles. What is of greater policy importance, though, is that post-Chamberlainian experiments have given us a good idea of how markets can be structured to prevent bubble formation.
Where it's at in economics today.......2002-02-06
About 1975, when Ross Miller and I were grad students in economics, there was a consensus "economic view of the world." Economists who had to deal with the real world -- policy makers and development types -- didn't really believe it, but the mainstream did. Not only believed it, but took it for granted.
That's not true today. The consensus is fragmenting. If you want to understand the underpinnings of this intellectual shift, read Ross's book. It's written clearly, even excitingly, with well-chosen examples. And it is written by a real economist, who's trying to understand what's right and what's wrong about how we think about the economic world.
Perfect for our Economic Times!.......2002-01-18
A solid, fluid look at experimental economics! In these turbulent times on Wall Street (and really in markets around the world) this proves to be a great source of how we've come to this point, but more importantly, where we can go from here.
Book Description
This book reflects the authors' belief that to teach only the rules would give students a false sense and static understanding of what commercial law is all about and what makes it exciting. This book is also an effective platform for a more detailed approach to the rules of commercial law. Problems could be easily supplemented text to provide students with a more technical understanding of these rules. The authors emphasize some of the rules because those rules help students understand the basic concepts. Most of the study deals with the UCC, specifically Articles 9, 3, 4, and 5.

Excellent Recopilation of material.......2001-05-19
After seeing this book, I see a lot of emphasis in structural geology. We could also add some input on Sedimentology and Geostatistics, which care more about reservoir heterogeneity.

hippo love.......2007-03-27
love this book and story - Our one year old is even trying to sing the song!
Beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this book
Incredibly funny, my kids love to sing it ........1999-08-27
My kids loved reading & singing along with me. The whole story is also a song, the chorus going, 'Mud, mud, glorious mud. Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, so follow me follow, down to the hollow, & there we will wallow in glorious mud.' Very funny!

Swann in Love.......2007-07-15
The CD of the abridgment is well produced, and the narrator excellent. Unfortunately for me I found that Proust is just not to my taste.
An excellent reading of the second half of Swann's Way........2001-12-03
I bought this 3-disk set because, frankly, I couldn't imagine how anyone could pull off a reading of Proust's verbose and complex style. I was more than pleasantly surprised: Neville Jason does a fantastic job. His voice is polished and not overly dramatic; his phrasing shows a real understanding of both Proust's meaning and how best to convey orally his long sentences with all their long interpolations. The abridgment (which, according to the liner notes, was also done by Mr. Jason) is very sensitive to the original and retained far more of it than I thought was possible in a three-hour set. Period music is included, briefly and effectively, in the background. Since "Swann in Love" is more-or-less a self-contained novella within the great Recherche, this audio book would be an excellent way to get one's feet wet with Proust. My only caveat is that, Proust being, to say the least, a dense writer, this is not the kind of audio book that one can fully comprehend while doing something else. Just put your feet up and listen.

Great Safe Sex Guide for Gays.......2006-06-19
This was one of the early safe-sex guides published and by
a well known man in the gay scene at the time. The language is
simple and easy to grasp. The author, Glenn Swannn draws on his
own experiences to give us a top notch guide. Hopefully many
read it and followed it.
Good, Clean, Dirty, Fun !.......2000-04-18
I've always been keenly interested in reading about a man's first time and how he deals with safe sex, particularly a "straight" man's first time with another man. This book has compiled a nice collection of guidelines that address just that topic. The topics range from the romantic and sweet to the extremely erotic. It's a page turner, and you'll probably read it from cover to cover in only two sittings, and, dispite being a little "rehashed," it's good, clean, dirty, fun.
