Book Description
Are you unhappy with your current job or are you considering a career change? Have you just graduated from college and are looking for a job that pays more than $15/hour? Jobs that Pay a Lot describes four high-paying jobs that you can enter with little or no experience and a minimum of training. While this book doesn't train you for these jobs, it does tell you how and where to get the training you need, and how to get started in your new career. Understand, this is not a get-rich quick scheme. These are legitimate careers that require dedication and commitment. These careers are easy to train for, relatively easy to enter, and will be in high demand for a long time to come. Best of all, they allow you to make an excellent salary after just a few years. There is no guarantee that you'll be making $100,000 in your first year, but it is possible to earn $100,000-$400,000 (depending on the job) within a few years. How many people can say that?

Highly Recommend it.......2003-12-03
This was one of the best career books I have read. I will be graduating this spring and I wasn't sure what I was going to do but now I do. I would have given it only 4 stars because there are only 4 jobs that are detailed in the book but the 4 are completely different and 2 of them sound really exciting and make over $100,000 after a few years. I highly recommend this book, whether you are still in school, about to graduate or have been unemployed for awhile. This is the stuff that they should teach you about in school.
Book Description
Introduction to Paralegal Studies & the Law: A Theoretical Approach contains a unique storyline format that takes a pragmatic approach to explaining the legal process and procedures. It emphasizes the day-to-day tasks of the paralegal and identifies skills that must be acquired for success. The reader is treated like someone apprenticing in a law firm by being led through the events of litigation and exposed to the strategical and practical considerations that go into litigants' decisions. This book is closely aligned with and based upon Introduction to Paralegal Studies: A Practical Approach. However, unlike its counterpart, it incorporates additional chapters to include the introduction of substantive law.

Book Description
Since the 1970s, the striking increase in immigration to the United States has been accompanied by a marked change in the composition of the immigrant community, with a much higher percentage of foreign-born workers coming from Latin America and Asia and a dramatically lower percentage from Europe.
This timely study is unique in presenting new data sets on the labor force, wage rates, and demographic conditions of both the U.S. and source-area economies through the 1980s. The contributors analyze the economic effects of immigration on the United States and selected source areas, with a focus on Puerto Rico and El Salvador. They examine the education and job performance of foreign-born workers; assimilation, fertility, and wage rates; and the impact of remittances by immigrants to family members on the overall gross domestic product of source areas.
A revealing and original examination of a topic of growing importance, this book will stand as a guide for further research on immigration and on the economies of developing countries.

The perfect offbeat travel guide for NJ.......2003-12-30
A great read for fans of Weird NJ, regional history and the offbeat in general, Peter Genovese's book is both entertaining and informative. Unlike Weird NJ, you won't find much about ghost stories, UFO sightings and urban myths in "New Jersey Curiosities"; instead, the focus is on real, specific locations that have down-to-earth yet interesting histories.
One of the nice features of this book is that the curiosities are organized by region, so you can easily look up the oddities in your area. Genovese also includes specific directions to aid in sightseeing. One area of improvement would be to include more pictures, but other than that, it's a superb travel guide.
a normal persons "weird NJ".......2003-12-28
Being a fan of Weird NJ for several years, I recently decided to try out other books that chornicle the strange, unusual and the funny stuff that can be found within our borders. I found this to be a very decent, relatively comprehensive guide to those weird roadside items of the book's title.
The author, Peter Genovese, is a writer for the Star Ledger, and runs a regular series about good places to grab lunch at, and has also written several other NJ based books about such things as diners, the jersey shore, and a previous book on weird stuff in NJ. He clearly has qualifications to write such a book, and it's obvious he enjoys Weird NJ, as many of the items referenced can be found in Weird NJ.
In fact, this book is really a cross between Genovese Munchmobile column and the Weird NJ Roadside Guide. This book really is not comparable to the Weird NJ book recently published by the Marks, in that they are two different books. The Weird NJ book is all about stories and myths, and although you can go out and visit some of the things referenced in the book, it isn't meant as a travel guide. This book is, and it functions quite well. It features many things not found in the Weird NJ Guide and really does deserve a spot on any weird NJ fans book shelf.
Some people like his first roadside guide better, while others found that book totally useless/. I can't compare the two books but I can say that this book is thoroughly enjoyable and worth the money.
Pluses: interesting trivia and factoids about NJ
minuses: pictures are B&W
Wonderful New Jersey Fact Filled Book.......2003-11-10
Great book to find awhole lot of stuff about New Jersey. Would highly reccomend it to any Jersey person. Great to remember the weird quirks of Nj.
A fan of Weird NJ stories? Then this book is for you.......2003-10-06
For anyone who likes the concept of Weird NJ but feel the folklore and reader letters are fiction, this is a great non-fiction book for you. It's about the many quirky things in the wacky garden state, broken down into three sections-- North Central and South. Besides summaries on Lucy the Elephant, and and the blind waiter diner in Hasbrouck Heights, the book also includes little known fun facts about the state, that we are home to the nation's only on-campus diner, and that the oldest log cabin in the country. And did you know the movie Jaws was based on a fatal Jersey shark attack? Well, then, read the book.
Stick With His Other Books.......2003-03-16
While this book was okay, I was kind of disappointed. It seems to just be rehashed articles from the author's previous two books, Roadside NJ and Jersey Diners, without all of the great pictures that originally accompanied them. I would recommend buying one of those books, which are still published by Rutgers University Press, rather than this one.

Fun and fascinating nostalgia.......1997-02-10
When I first found this book on the shelf of a local bookstore and thumbed through it, gazing at the many photos, I was astounded by how many things I recognized. Then I found some sites from my very own hometown and was delighted. However, I knew I had to have the book when I found a chapter devoted to a local woman who has milkjugs all over her lawn. For years, we have driven by the house and a few friends and I have puzzled over her milk jug creations (an American Flag, Mickey Mouse, Santa Clause among others). The chapter explained how she started this strange habit. There are plenty of great little anecdotes. I recommend the book to anyone who likes to look at Americana, from classic diners to goofy signs and such, and especially to the denizens of New Jersey (prepare to be surprised by how many of these things you've seen before!

Excelent.......2006-02-08
Excellent book I used it in a college class and liked it. It gives a little information about a lot of topics. A+ Book
well suited for a classroom text.......2005-08-07
The book is well suited for a reader who has no background in computing and wants to remedy that deficiency. Unlike some other books, this does not start with the description of what a single computer is. Instead, it starts at the network level, by explaining in simple terms the Internet and the World Wide Web. It shows why the two are different. Whereas the reader might well regard these as synonymous, she now learns that the Internet in fact predates the Web by over 20 years.
This putting of the Internet and Web first in the book is telling. It acknowledges that for many people, the computer exists primarily to access the network.
But of course, the book should, and it does, go on to explain the hardware and software of a computer. The hardware is the classic single CPU Neumann design. The software is shown to be the operating system and applications that run on it.
The book also contains numerous exercises that help the reader assimilate the ideas in the text.
