Book Description
A blueprint for women at all stages of their careers--and entrepreneurs--who want to take control of their careers by gaining more visibility in the professional marketplace and in their communities. Whether you are trying to increase your visibility on the job, or looking for a new job, trying to establish yourself as an expert in your field, or seeing a product or service, people have to feel good about you. This book will tell you what to do, and how to do it!
The Personal Publicity Planner is also a decidedly feminist book loaded with solid tips and illuminated by personal anecdotes from a woman who beat the odds and climbed the corporate ladder at one of the most powerful communications companies in the world--and then had the guts to walk away to start her own business, and gain notoriety as a working woman's advocate. According to President Bill Clinton: she deserves to be very proud of all she has accomplished on behalf of working women in this country.

Little Book Packs Powerful Publicity Tips.......2005-01-12
"When people hear your name, what do you want them to think about?" Author Marion Gold knows THAT is the image you want to project and the heart of her book, "The Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing You." It is a must-read for women with eyes on their futures, who want to shape their images to garner more visibility within their community, with potential employers, with clients or with the press. With lots of helpful tips packed into only 80 pages, this little book teaches readers in simple step-by-step language how to take advantage of opportunities to self-promote their talents and achievements to position themselves for future success within their industry. Kudos to Marion Gold for sharing her insight into the corporate world of marketing yourself in an easy-to-understand workbook style - with plenty of room to take notes right on the pages as you create your own publicity plan. Not a book for marketing experts, it is a great book for men and women who are new to the publicity game and who are trying to start off on the right path to self-marketing.
Good primer for beginners.......2004-02-24
The cover states "a blueprint for women who are serious about their careers - and want to develop an image for success". In its mere 80 pages, many of which are actually blank or have fewer than 100 words, the book is a good primer for people TOTALLY unfamiliar with the subject of public relations. It provides a relatively complete OUTLINE of the issues and questions that must be answered. Unfortunately, it falls short of providing a "blueprint" which would be detailed discussions, pointers, and tips for accomplishing the tasks in the outline. I would tend to describe the content as that of a "white paper", a high-level overview of the topic with no how-to's or details. If you are just starting out and want a brief overview of the subject, this book is good for you. I think $15.00 is a stretch for a mere outline.
Personal Publicity Success Story.......2004-02-12
The Pesonal Publicity Planner is a must-read for women. Gold tells it like it is in today's workplace and demonstrates how important it is for women to market themselves. Her suggestions proved successful in helping me attain a higher profile and motivated me to make things happen.
Promote Yourself.......2002-07-31
This book ties PR with personal image, and offers advice to women that are working to position themselves on the career market. Read along with Michael Levine's "Guerrilla PR" in order to fill any gaps that Gold may gloss over. Overall, this is not any ordinary PR book, and a must-read for business women.
Inspiring Personal Marketing Guide.......2000-06-04
I found this book very inspiring. Marion Gold's book has helped me to focus on the next steps for my career. I have spent my entire career becoming the best at what I do and I was stuck as to "what's next". Gold's book has provided me the insight, detail and how-to for what I need to do next: I have to effectively market my skills. As stated in this book, "If you are at least good at what you do, and have the heart to compete aggressively, you have a real shot at success-as long as you get the word out." I feel that this book is an inspiration to all people, especially women. Gold's book is a quick reference guide for goal setting, personal image development and personal publicity suggestions. I specifically enjoyed her honesty and candor in speaking to some of the key business issues facing women who wish to advance in their careers and with that she also offers potential solutions. Gold states in her book, "Recognizing an opportunity brings you one step closer to achieving it. Knowing how to take advantage of that opportunity puts you even closer to success." This book helps guide the reader to knowing how to take advantage of opportunities.

Book Description
This book addresses methodological issues of production ecology, and contains scientific contributions written by nine specialists. A central issue is the combination of the agricultural model with reliable data in relation to scale. A model is developed with data from a single point, whereas decisions are to be made for areas of land. Such an approach requires the use of a skilful treatment of available data and information. The book is divided into four parts. Advanced information science yields the best possible models in an efficient way. Geographical Information Systems combine various layers of spatial information. Statistics upscale local information towards regions and test its reliability. Modern trends in automated modeling are identified. The book is illustrated with various practical studies, ranging from the individual model to the whole European Community. It aims at a readership of graduate and post-graduate agricultural scientists, practitioners and politicians.

Bellevue Farm: Exploring Virginia's Coastal Countryside
ASIN: 0811716325 |
Book Description
A fascinating weave of science and memoir by a naturalist who draws inspiration from life among the coastal islands of Virginia.
Join naturalist Curtis J. Badger as he explores the last unspoiled barrier island ecosystem in the eastern United States. Badger's own ancestral roots in the region reach back into the 1600s, a legacy that fuels his passion and appreciation for this fragile confluence of land and sea. A beaded chain of 18 islands separates the inland shore from the Atlantic, and in this zone of protected waters lives a startling array of plants and animals. As he writes about looking for milky ribbon worms in the mudflats or paddling through spartina on a tidal creek, Badger gracefully weaves together personal history and natural science with insight and intelligence. 20 black & white illustrations.
Customer Reviews:
I love this book!.......2001-04-25
This book was extremly enjoyable to read. Cutis Badger opens his heart in several chapters, speaking of his love for his son and his love for the land he was raised on. The illistrations are also amazing, and offer a lot of emotional feeling. This book is also informative, and includes interesting knowledge about the marshes and creeks enjoys.

Book Description
From the civility of Westminster's newly paved streets to the dangerous pleasures of Vauxhall Gardens and the grand designs of the Universal Register Office, this book examines the identities, practices, and power relations of the modern city as they emerged within and transformed the geographies of eighteenth-century London. Ogborn draws upon a wide variety of textual and visual sources to illuminate processes of commodification, individualization, state formation, and the transformation of the public sphere within the new spaces of the metropolis.
Customer Reviews:
Over my head - and I'm pretty tall!.......2003-10-30
So there were lots of great parts of this book, and lots of relevant historical information, and, at times, it really shines. How paved streets came about in London, for example, the Macaroni fashions, and other important historical phenomena are covered and are covered pretty well. However, the book does not read well at all. You will find yourself reading and re-reading and re-reading again. Good information, but not very digestable, and the conclusion needs work, as it's difficult to see the relations of all of the "spaces."

The Equations of Radiation Hydrodynamics
ASIN: 0813341795 |
Book Description
The aim of this book is to elucidate a number of basic topics in physics of dense plasmas that interface with condensed matter physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. The different plasmas examined here include astrophysical dense plasmas - like those found in the interiors, surfaces, and outer envelopes of such astronomical objects as neutron stars, white dwarfs, the Sun, brown dwarfs, and giant planets. Condensed plasmas in laboratory settings cover metals and alloys (solid, amorphous, liquid, and compressed), semiconductors (electrons, holes, and their droplets), and various realizations of dense plasmas (shock-compressed, diamond-anvil cell, metal vaporization, pinch discharges, and more.) Statistical Plasma Physics: Volume II, Condensed Plasmas is intended as a graduate-level textbook on the subjects of condensed plasma physics, material sciences, and condensed-matter astrophysics. It will also be useful to researchers in the fields of plasma physics, condensed-matter physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.

Book Description
Phase transitions are involved in phenomena ranging from the initial stages of the creation of the Universe to the existence of biological objects. It is natural to as whether any phenomena analogous to phase transitions are possible in disordered substances like liquids and glasses. The possibility of such transitions is still very much a matter of debate. Neither the nature nor the features of transformations in liquids and glasses are yet clear, nor is the nature of the order parameters. Investigations in recent years have shown that transformations in liquids and glasses lead to a drastic change of their physical properties and short-range order structure.
The papers collected here contribute to a better understanding of the physics of disordered systems and phase transformations in them. An unambiguous identification of transitions in liquids and glasses requires further high-precision experimental study of the thermodynamic and structural properties in the vicinity of transitions in order to test existing theoretical models and develop new, more accurate ones.
