essential.......2001-09-22

Next to the "Vault Guide to the Top 100 Law Firms", this directory is the most essential guide for a legal job search.

Very necessary.......1999-07-27

the National Directory of Legal Employers is definitely a necessity for anyone thinking of goig into the legal business. it's widely recognized in the profession as the authoritative resource. i'd only say that because it's so comprehensive, it sometimes doesn't quite get into the details enough. I'd recommend something like the Vault Reports Top 50 Law Firms, which gives a great idea of what it's like to go work for a law firm, whether out of college or as a lateral hire. It's less comprehensive, but much more detailed and a fun read.

Book Description

This book reviews recent advances in the exciting and rapid growing field of semiconductor quantum dots by contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in the field. Special focus is given to the optical and electronic properties of single quantum dots due to their potential applications in devices operating with single electrons and/or single photons. This includes quantum dots in electric and magnetic fields, cavity-quantum electrodynamics, nonclassical light generation, and coherent optical control of excitons. Single Quantum Dots also addresses various growth techniques as well as potential device applications such as quantum dot lasers, ultra-fast amplifiers, and new concepts like quantum computing using quantum dots.

Valuable review chapters.......2007-06-09

For the scientist experienced in quantum dots, this text has some valuable review chapters and is practical in nature. It needs updating, as the subject has evolved considerably since the publication date.

For a really useful introduction to quantum dots, try 'Quantum Dot Hetereostructures' by Bimberg, Grundmann and Ledentsov - albeit absurdly overpriced!

Book Description

Whistleblowers can ruin lives--and can save them. Is it worth it? Roberta Ann Johnson explores when and how--and to what effect--people make the choice to blow the whistle. Engrossing case studies from the tobacco industry, to NASA, to the FDA illustrate clearly how individual efforts can and do transform institutions, shape public policy, and serve as a force for democratization.

Customer Reviews:

Best Book on Whistleblowing Case Studies.......2007-06-14

This book is a fascinating study of whistleblowing--though it perhaps focuses too much on the big-name cases. Nevertheless anyone who is contemplating blowing the whistle on the boss ought to read and study the ins and outs of this course of action. It's not an easy road as I have discovered in my own whistle-blogging ("My Calvin Seminary Story"). Unlike the books on the legal side of the issue, this volume is very approachable to ordinary workin' stiffs. I recommend it.

Book Description

How can employees in a variety of work settings best respond to organizational misconduct without getting burned? Using data from personal interviews and surveys of employees in various work settings, this book examines whistleblowing-the reporting by employees and former employees of illegal, unethical, and otherwise inappropriate conduct to someone who has the power to take corrective action-and its individual and organizational consequences. Early chapters define whistleblowing, identifying its major forms, and describing the problems with studying whistleblowers. The book then turns to the social and psychological attributes of whistleblowers, the situational factors, and the organizational characteristics that increase or decrease the likelihood of its occurrence. Subsequent chapters examine the individual and organizational consequences of whistleblowing, the legal rights and safeguards for whistleblowers, and particular case histories. The book concludes with a summary of strategic choices and practical advice for persons who are considering whether and how to report organizational misconduct.

Book Description

Started in the band’s very earliest days, from 1986 until the year 2000, Propaganda was the only official U2 fan-club magazine to ever exist. Each issue carried exclusive in-depth interviews, plus behind-the-scenes insights into U2 operations and unique never-seen-elsewhere photographs. An impressive selection of the best features appear here in this very first Propaganda anthology, offering a fascinating chance to see the extraordinary development of one of the biggest bands in the world through the writers and photographers who have been closest to them throughout their successful career. U2's Propaganda includes 250 color photographs--some of which have never appeared anywhere else, a tribute CD made up of various artists appearing in stores in October 2002, articles written by the band members themselves, exclusive band member interviews never printed before, and a full discography.

Customer Reviews:

Excelent book!!!.......2004-03-30

This book contains only the best of the best of U2. You can understand some of the decitions of the band or event the songs just to take a look to the book. The best book of U2 ever.

Mea non culpa.......2004-02-14

I'm glad readers are enjoying this U2 compendium. A word, though, about the typos and spelling errors. This book is a snapshot in time, a record of U2's Propaganda magazine, warts and all. The very earliest magazines were punky and rough around the edges, and occasionally contained grammatical errors. We made a conscious decision to keep them in to make the book a truer guide to the journal's development. To correct them would have been to airbrush history. I hope this helps to explain matters.

(By the way, apologies for my appalling arrogance in awarding the book five stars here - Amazon don't allow you to post a review without awarding the book a star rating!).

u2: The Best of Propaganda.......2003-12-29

This book is a great insight into the world of U2, great reading for the U2 fan although i think Ian Grittins forgot to proof read this material and also forgot to hit spell check because there is alot of spelling and grammer mistakes, still a fantastic buy, lots of stuff here that you wont find anywhere else.

Must-have for a die-hard U2 fan.......2003-11-22

As the title indicates, this book is a must-have for those of us who are passionate about U2. The photos are great, the articles cover a wide range of styles, authors, perspectives, etc....it is especially interesting to read interviews with the band at vastly different stages of their career. However, I wouldn't suggest this book as an introduction to U2. Unless you know the history of the band quite well, most of these articles would be confusing to you because they are highlights from U2's magazine, and background knowlege is assumed--sometimes very little context is given. But as I said, for those of us who know U2 well, context is not necessary. My only complaint is the editing, or lack thereof. There are so many typos in this book you would think that it wasn't proofread at all; or perhaps it was simply produced very quickly. Overall though, an essential addition to any fan's collection.
I am adding a p.s. to this review after reading Ian Gittins' (the editor himself!) response to mine and others' complaints about the typos. I thank Mr. Gittins for explaining; the fact that the typos were present in the original articles did not occur to me. If I had thought a little harder about it, maybe it would have occured to me, or maybe it wouldn't. At any rate, though the typos are still distracting, they are not as irritating now that I know why they're there. I am dutifully chagrined for any implications about Mr. Gittins' editing abilities...

Book Description

In the early 1950s writers were leaving radio en masse to try their hand at another promising medium—television. William Froug was in the thick of that exodus, a young man full of ideas in a Hollywood bursting with opportunities. In his forty-year career Froug would write and/or produce many of the shows that America has grown up with. From the drama of Playhouse 90 and the mind-bending premises of The Twilight Zone to the escapist scenarios of Adventures in Paradise, Gilligan’s Island, Bewitched, and Charlie’s Angels, Froug played a role in shaping his trade. He crossed paths with some of the memorable personalities in the industry, including Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Agnes Moorehead, Elizabeth Montgomery, Robert Blake, Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry, Aaron Spelling, and Sherwood Schwartz.
Froug reveals a post-WWII America giddy with the success of its newest medium—yet sobered at moments by strikes and union politics, McCarthyism and anti-Semitism. It was a world of hastily written scripts, sudden firings, thwarted creativity, and fickle tastes. And yet, while clearly exasperated with many aspects of Hollywood, Froug was a man utterly in his element, his frustration with the industry ultimately eclipsed by his dedication to his craft.

Customer Reviews:

Great book - approved by my physical therapist.......2007-08-05

I had a shoulder injury and toward the end of physical therapy, we moved to strengthening exercises/weight lifting. I am a person that likes pictures (as opposed to words) and this book provides good pictures of how each exercise should be done. It also shows you how NOT to do them. It shows what muscles are affected by each exercise, plus a section on stretching. My PT was very impressed by it and started thumbing through it and said he was going to buy it to show patients in the future.

Great Starter book!.......2007-07-02

I picked this book randomly and it turned out to be a great book to start out with. I tried going to the gym before I got this book and the weights scared me. The next day I bought the book and took 2-3 days to read through the entire thing and everything made sense. I also saw the correct way to do each routine. One of the best things it did was lay out all the different types of routines you can do, whether it be full body, or focusing on one or two muscles per workout. I highly recommend this book!

great book for beginners.......2005-11-09

I bought this book when I decided to start weight training. I had never done any weight training before so I needed a book that covered the basics. Maran Illustrated has proven a great choice.
The range of exercises is from easy to advanced so that you do not need to buy another book after you have learned the basics and are ready for something more challenging.
The photographs and explanations of each exercise are very clear and easy to follow. As the previous reveiwer has mentioned, there are also photographs of what NOT to do, which is important for everybody and for beginners - essential.
The book is suitable for those who go to a gym and for those who prefer to exercise at home. It also explains the advantages of both, home and gym.
It offers a range of exercises one can do while travelling.
I recommend this book to anybody who would like to start weight training; the book will also be useful for those who know the basics already.

Finally! Weight training for the *real* person..........2005-06-18

I'm really getting addicted to these Maran Illustrated titles. I received a copy of Maran Illustrated Weight Training, and this is one of those fitness books that speaks to the "normal" person...

Contents:
Section 1 - Weight Training Basics: Weight Training Basics
Section 2 - Work Your Upper Body: Work Your Chest; Work Your Shoulders; Work Your Back; Work Your Triceps; Work Your Biceps and Wrists; Work Your Abdominals
Section 3 - Work Your Lower Body: Work Your Legs; Work Your Buttocks; Work Your Calves
Section 4 - Using An Exercise Ball And Tubing; Using an Exercise Ball; Using Exercise Tubing
Section 5 - Design A Weight Routine: Design a Weight Routine
Section 6 - Stretching: Stretching
Section 7 - Cardiovascular Training And Nutrition: Cardiovascular Training; Nutrition; Index

Although my current fitness and weight level wouldn't necessarily show it, I've spent a lot of time in the gym doing weight training. I even considered competitive bodybuilding for awhile, and I was familiar with that entire scene and lifestyle. So while I'm fine with a weight training book by a current Mr. Olympia, the person trying to get started for the first time can easily be intimidated by that. Hyper-muscular individuals enhanced by various "substances" aren't realistic for 99% of the population, and it sets some pretty false expectations. Fortunately, there are alternatives, and this book is one of them.

The Maran Illustrated approach to a book involves a graphically appealing format with an abundance of photos to illustrate points. No endless pages of "text only" here. Each exercise that's illustrated follows pretty much the same format. A photo of the starting/ending position, a photo of the middle position, a picture of the muscles targeted by the exercise, and most importantly, a photo of what you *don't* do when performing the exercise. I can't tell you how many times I've had to bite my tongue when watching others in the gym, knowing that their particular motion on a given exercise makes it either useless or dangerous. This emphasis on what to do and what *not* to do isn't normally covered in other books. In fact, I don't think I've seen any other book show that level of responsibility. I'd commend it for that alone.

But we're not done yet. The material in the first section is stuff that I'd like to get all gym attendees to memorize. They cover the basics on equipment, how to choose a gym, why weight training is good for you, etc. But they also devote some time to etiquette. Etiquette! That's another hot button for me. I don't want to listen to you scream while you crank out that last rep. I don't want to use the bench that's still covered in your sweat. And I *really* don't want to wait to work in while you're reading the paper between sets. If I could staple this section to the forehead of a few individuals, I'd be a happy man.

Do I like this book? Yeah, I like it a lot. The models illustrating the exercises are normal-looking, fit individuals. The information is technically sound, and effort is made to make sure you're doing things right. They even cover fitness balls and exercise tubing, which I normally dismiss in my mind as gimmicks. But I had to rethink those attitudes after covering that area.

Bottom line: This would be the first book I'd recommend in nearly all cases if someone was getting ready to take up weight training. Great job!

Maran's Illustrated Weight Training Pumps Out Good Info!.......2005-06-11

Over the years I have read a number of books on weight training. Most give you a routine, tell you how buff you are gonna look and toss in a picture or too. And they assume you know alot including proper form and what the heck the exercise is doing for your body.

Maran's Illustrated Weight Training is different. This book will give you a firm grounding in weight training. It covers everything so you will have a solid foundation to train for best results.

The book begins with something that is often missed in others - a picture of the human body with the muscles labeled. It is hard to work your "latissimus dorsi" or your "gluteu minimus" terms I have heard video instructors shout out, when you don't have a clue what they are. Marans gives you a clearly labeled front and rear view human body illustration.

Next the book makes the case for working out at home or at the gym. If you opt to set up a home gym you will learn what to look for in barbells, a bench, rack etc. If you opt to go to a gym you will learn what to look for before signing on the dotted line.

The book also covers gym etiquette (something you wish that sweaty man next to you who never wipes down the bench would read), proper clothing, and more.

Next comes the meat of the book. In great detail Marans describes how to work each part of your body. For your triceps for example Maran describes the bench dip, tricep kickback, triceps pushdown, barbell triceps press, dumbbell overhead extension, lying barbell extension and triceps extension machine. For each exercise you will learn what it does for your body, what muscles it works, and the do's and don'ts of performing it. Each excerise also includes lots of full color photographs.
Tons of exercises are covered for upper and lower body - from chest to back to buttocks to calves. There is also a section on using an exercise ball and using tubing.
I know a girl (ok it was me) who did ab work for several months with no results because she was doing the exercises wrong..too bad I didn't have this book then.

The book also includes information on how to design a weight routine, stretching (crucial for best results and to prevent injury), cardiovascular training and nutrition.

The softcover, oversized 300+ page book is beautifully laid out and designed. Full color photographs and easy to read text.

Super book for those starting out, on their way or the seasoned pro seeking that extra information. Maran scores a winner with this book!
