Book Description

The 13 personality types that do the most harm when given power in organizations are exposed in this book. These insidious types harm their employees and employer intentionally. They have evaded exposure until the author's undercover research brought them and their tactics to light in this book.

If you report to an incorrigibly bad boss, this book tells you how to save your career from ruin. If you're searching for a job, it tells you how to identify the worst kinds of bad bosses during an interview. And if you're an employer with managers working in your organization, this book will open your eyes to some of the harm that can be done without your knowledge if you're unaware that you've employed these types.

This book can be helpful.......2007-08-02

This book would help a lot if your boss/manager falls into one of the categories. It is hard if they fall into multiple categories. Mine just does not like me even though I do excellent work, my peers like me as do all the employees of the company. Since I only have 5 years to retire I am between a rock & a hard place. She does have a chapter at the end to explain how you can give yourself a percentage of the time your manager is a bad boss and see if you can live with that percentage. Mine was 30% which is somewhat tolerable.

I have recently received this book and am in the process of reviewing it. From what I have read thus far, it is very practical especially with my current job. I plan to share it with others.

Employee strategies for surviving your boss.......2006-08-30

Reviewed by William E. Cooper for Reader Views (8/06)

Have you ever had one of those bosses, one where you wonder where they came from or how they got where they are? We all have at one time or another. Well, here's a great book about how to recognize what they are and how to deal with or survive them. Ms. Haight describes 13 different types of poor boss, the characteristics of each, and some good strategies for the employees. As a retired Chief of Police, it was part of my job to ensure a great working environment, one where employees could grow and flourish. We succeeded, largely in part to the employees themselves and what they had and did contribute.

While it is unfortunate such a book needs to be written, Ms. Haight has done a remarkable job with her research and details. She gives her readers the insight to recognize which is which, then the alternatives available to them. The people who ought to read this book first are the bosses described in it. Failing that, it is a clear, articulate read, certainly to be read by virtually every employee.

Well done Ms. Haight.

The best book out there for working with or staying away from a bad boss.......2006-05-09

I bought this book because it was recommended via the Washington Post. This book has been invaluable to me, especially in finding a new position in the IT industry. Ms. Haight gives you warning bells when you hear certain phrases coming out of a hiring managers mouth, and what questions to ask to be positive this person isn't going to be a devil of a manager for you. Buy this book because otherwise you might be going into (pun intended) a hell of a job!

Book Description

Fundamentals of Investments was created to: 1. Focus on students as investment managers, giving them information they can act on instead of concentrating on theories and research without the proper context. 2. Offer strong, consistent pedagogy, including a balanced, unified treatment of the main types of financial investments as mirrored in the investment world. 3. Organize topics in a way that makes them easy to apply--whether to a portfolio simulation or to real life--and support these topics with hands-on activities. The approach of this text reflects two central ideas. First, there is a consistent focus on the student as an individual investor or investments manager. Second, a consistent, unified treatment of the four basic types of financial instruments--stocks, bonds, options, and futures--focusing on their characteristics and features, their risks and returns, and the markets in which they trade.

Great book for Beginners.......2002-12-05

This book is great for beginners who want to learn about investing. It teaches practical things rather than some theory about something the average persons doesn't understand. The best part of this book is the Stock-Trak.....it's very fun lets you play the stock market with funny money.

Not What I Expected!.......2006-12-06

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT WRITTEN BY WILLIAM D. WARREN, RENOUNDED HUMORIST AND AUTHOR OF HOW TO DIE: OR THE GOOD GATSBY.
I saw this book for sale, and even though it was $100.00 I thought, 1000 pages by William D. Warren, who also goes by Wm. Douglas Warren, I will buy that for $100.00. No, no. It was a tragic mistake. While I was hoping for outrageous comedy and a laugh a minute narratives, all I got was a book about case studies and stuff legal issues. I guess I should have been tipped off by the name, but Warren is known for his subtleties, (as well as his not so subtleties), so I thought maybe it was just some joke I didn't get. NOPE! If you want a book about law and stuff, buy this one, but if you want a good book, buy How to Die: or The Good Gatsby.

Revised 9.......2006-02-06

The revised UCC has not been adopted by most states, and the Revised 9 is only adopted by less than 10 states to date. So depending on where you are from, this book may be either helpful or a bit frustrating. The previous buyer's review is missing this crucial bit of info.

Pain, Pain, and More Pain.......2003-10-24

I assume you're buying this book becasue you are taking Secured Transactions. I'm sorry. This book is bad. All of the cases deal with old 9 not revised 9 which is usually the current law. You'll read a case- understand it and then they'll say it all changed when they passed revised 9. Prepare to be confused. If you are a professor please be kind, don't force your students to use this book. Any other book has to be better.

Book Description

The interactions between environmental change and human societies have a long, complex history spanning many millennia, but these have changed fundamentally in the last century. Human activities are now so pervasive and profound that they are altering the Earth in ways which threaten the very life support system upon which humans depend. This book describes what is known about the Earth System and the impact of changes caused by humans. It considers the consequences of these changes with respect to the stability of the Earth System and the well-being of humankind; as well as exploring future paths towards Earth System science in support of global sustainability.

A concised and unified overview on soft matter.......2004-01-19

This book contains a concised overview on soft matter physics or what chemists use to call colloid chemistry. As stated by the author in the Preface, it has been written primarily for undergraduate students. However, it should be also useful to researchers that are looking for a unified view of the subject. The book is organized in five chapters: 1) Introduction, 2) Polymers, 3) Colloids, 4) Amphiphiles, and 5) Liquid crystals. Each chapter includes both FURTHER READING and QUESTIONS sections (numerical solutions to the questions are provided at the end of the book). All in all this quasi-pocket book appear to have reached its scope, I think, and hence I rated it with five stars. Readers that want to dig deeper into this subject may consult the book Soft Matter Physics: an Introduction, by Kleman and Lavrentovich (648 pp). Those wishing to take an intermediate step, may consult the recently published book Soft Condensed Matter by Jones (230 pp).

Book Description

This text relies on only introductory level physics and chemistry as the foundation for understanding liquid crystal science. Liquid crystals combine the material properties of solids with the flow properties of fluids. As such they have provided the foundation for a revolution in low- power, flat-panel display technology LCDs. In this book, the essential elements of liquid crystal science are introduced and explained from the perspectives of both the chemist and the physicist.; The text begins with an historical account of the discovery of liquid crystals and continues with a description of how different phases are generated and how different molecular architectures affect liquid crystalline properties. The rest of the book is concerned with understanding and explaining the properties of the various types of liquid crystals, and in the final part of the book, the technology of LCDs is discussed and illustrated.

Book Description

Given the widespread interest in macroscopic phenomena in liquid crystals, stemming from their applications in displays and devices. The need has arisen for a rigorous yet accessible text suitable for graduate students, whatever their scientific background. This book satisfies that need. The approach taken in this text, is to introduce the basic continuum theory for nematic liquid crystals in equilibria, then it proceeds to simple application of this theory- in particular, there is a discussion of electrical and magnetic field effects which give rise to Freedericksz transitions, which are important in devices. This is followed by an account of dynamic theory and elementary viscometry of nemantics Discussions of backflow and flow-induced instabilities are also included. Smetic theory is also briefly introduced and summarised with some examples of equilibrium solutions as well as those with dynamic effects. A number of mathematical techniques, such as Cartesian tensors and some variational calculus, are presented in the appendices.
