Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars much practical advice.......2007-03-09

The book is replete with much practical advice that can readily be understood and applied by a diligent reader. One example would be monitoring the scrap percentage for a manufacturing operation. As Bragg points out, this can be an indicator of poor workmanship, bad setup of the machinery or inferior raw materials used by the factory.

Another example is the rate of use of loading dock doors. Each door also implies an allocation of floor space next to it, for moving goods in and out of the warehouse. A door that is minimally used often suggests that floor space is not being fully utilised.

For these and many other examples, Bragg furnishes simple metrics to measure the effect. Most are trivial mathematically, and could be defined from first principles by a reader experienced in engineering. But the book seems to be aimed, in part, at a reader who does not have such a background. Perhaps you rose from the shop floor, to now have managerial responsibility?

      Book Description

      In Human Rights Horizons, one of the world's foremost authorities on human rights and international relations maps out the way to a more just and human global society. Borders are being erased; democracy and capitalism are spreading. The world is rapidly changing, and these changes are opening the door for the promotion of human rights to become and integral part of worldwide politics and law.

      In his provocative new book, Falk discusses the borderline between the promotion of human rights and the promotion of interventionist and coercive diplomacy. Can the US and the UN find an acceptable balance between unnecessary, protracted violence (Somalia) and simply letting genocide spread (Rwanda)? While looking at specific cases, Falk also sheds important new light on non-Western attitudes toward human rights, the challenge of genocidal politics, the intersection of morality and global security, and the pursuit of international justice. Thoughtful and very accessibly written, Human Rights Horizons clearly presents a path to an original new humanitarian policy for the 21st century.

            From the supplier: A special program for at-risk students in Albuquerque, NM is achieving optimal results using Skills Bank II courseware from Skills Bank Corp. The Juvenile Justice Computer Assisted Instructional Program (JJCAIP) is a joint effort of the Albuquerque Public Schools, the juvenile justice system and the Albuquerque Technical-Vocational Institute. Each semester, 225 students ranging from ages 14 to 18 enter the program. Some are required by probation conditions to seek a General Education Development (GED) certificate, others are truants and drop-outs from local schools. No text books are used, with the student relying totally on the math, science, English and reading modules contained in the Skills Bank II program. These modules contain quizzes and tests, minimizing repetitious exercises. Recently, 90.4 percent of the 83 students from JJCAIP who took the GED test passed, making the program a notable success.

                From the supplier: The adoption of technology in school systems has left some issues of privacy for home-school portals. Information warehouses are being built by companies who are eager to begin capitalizing financially, but the privacy of student information must be responsibly handled. There are guidelines and precautionary measures to consider when choosing a partnership in the development of a school portal. Some suggestions include getting contracts in writing, and selecting a company who's services support the school goals and aid parents and staff.

                                      In 1960, two young, little-known comedians released an album of largely improvised sketches in which a journalist interviews a 2,000-year-old man. The journalist was Carl Reiner; the crotchety Jewish Methuselah was Mel Brooks. The album was a hit, giving a huge boost to both of their careers. It was followed by three more records over the next 13 years, as well as numerous "2,000-year-old man" TV appearances by the pair. Now, after a 24-year hiatus, Brooks and Reiner have revived the 2,000-year-old man in honor of the millennium, soliciting his views on everything from voice-mail trees to rap music--from the Mars landing to infomercials. While the format doesn't have the breakthrough freshness it did in 1960--and while jokes about being old may have a more poignant edge now coming from these two--Brooks and Reiner are still very funny men, and The 2,000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000 is a welcome visit with them.

                                      Book Description

                                      The 2000 Year Old Man was actually born in 1950, when Carl Reiner bought a $138 Revere tape recorder, plugged in the microphone, and instead of saying, "Testing, testing," turned to Mel Brooks and asked, "Is it true that you were at the scene of the Crucifixion some 2000 years ago?" As Brooks' imagination took flight, the old man uttered his first remembrance of things past with a moan of "Oooooooohboy." And then: "I knew Christ, Christ was a thin lad, always wore sandals. Hung around with 12 other guys. They came in the store, no one ever bought anything. Once they asked for water."

                                      Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks ad-libbed their first interviews between the miraculous ancient sage and the reporter covering his history-making arrival in the United States. The 2000 Year Old Man knew everyone from Jesus to Shakespeare, Cleopatra to Paul Revere. He was there when men discovered women, and he dated Joan of Arc. The feisty raconteur had been married several hundred times. He had 42,000 children -- "and not one comes to visit me." The Jewish Methuselah had something to say about everyone and everything -- from religion to soul kissing, from taxes to nectarines: "Half a peach, half a plum. It's a hell of a fruit!" Brooks never knew what Reiner was going to ask, and Reiner only knew that he would never get the same answer twice. Reiner calls it "writing with the mouth."

                                      Most of the targets Reiner and Brooks skewered between 1961 and 1974 on record albums are still with us, including food, cigarettes, the power of advertising, selling America to Japan, neglected children, fear of homosexuals in the military, inadequate health care, fad diets, violent films and pretentious filmmakers. In this millenial update of the cult comedy classic, the 2000 Year Old Man offers his unique wit and wisdom on everything from the Mars landing to shopping malls; homeopathy to the invention of the infomercial; his own dietary secrets, from eating a swirl to his time-tested Seven-Day Diet; and pet peeves, from rap music to "If you know the extension, press one..." The humor of The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000  is a hilarious antidote to the millenial literature of the '90s.

                                      5 out of 5 stars The Very Good Book.......2002-06-21

                                      I've said it before, I'll say it again, Mel Brooks is a comedical genius. This book is a great short read. Whether you're new to this 2000 year old man or you're a long time fan this book is hilarious. Much of it is rewording of the old acts that Mel did with Carl Reiner. They make fun of everyhting from the new miracle diets to God to sex. There's even a section called See Moses Run. The humor is if anything very Jewish which is great, if you understand Judaism.
                                      If you like Brooks humor, buy this book. It's good for a gift if you get it along with the accompanying CD under the same title as the book or the Complete 2000 Year Old Man 4 disc set.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Short & sweet.......2000-11-23

                                      Yeah, It is a short read. Yeah, I bought it for US$2.50 equivalent. Yeah it is a lot of rehash.

                                      It is still real funny. Funnier if you have a knowledge of history, the Bible and ancient comedy.

                                      1 out of 5 stars Yuck!.......2000-07-19

                                      I Paid a little less than 2 dollars for this book at a discount book store and that is just about what it is worth! Some of the jokes aren't funny ! I whited out all the inappropriate references which where unfunny and frequent! Don't buy this book unless you prefer filthy and unfunny humor books! Mel brooks and Carl reiner can be very funny when they get there mind out of the gutter. That is why I bought this book! I wish I hadn't

                                      4 out of 5 stars Even the title page is funny!.......2000-05-17

                                      Yes, a lot of it is rehashed from the original routines on the records, but it's still pretty funny stuff - and if the title page made me laugh then it must be pretty funny!

                                      You do have to be a Mel Brooks fan in order to appreciate this book. If you're not, then you just won't like it, no matter how much I or anyone else recommends it. But if you are, then be prepared for some fall-down roll-on-the-floor howls.

                                      4 out of 5 stars It's thin.I laughed. Call me a schlemiehl!.......2000-03-29

                                      True, it's about a two hour read for most -- five for me but I tracethe words with my finger as I read. On the plane, I laughedaloud. There was some whispering and the woman next to me changed her seat. Some of it may be recycled shtick but it still seems fresh. Most I've never seen/heard and I have listened to the Old Man CDs. I'd say there's fifty belly laughs, ten chortles, one guffaw, three titters and a smile. It will give you a few hours of delightfully outrageous grumpy old Jewish man humor. I should know. Buy it. Read it. Laugh. Eat your oatmeal and let me alone already. END

                                          Book Description

                                          About four days ago, a plane landed in America with a man who claimed to be 2000 years old. Today, that man is visiting a school just like yours to tell the children of the world what it's like to be 2000 years old.

                                          Here are some of the things you will learn:

                                          What did the 2000 Year Old Man use for transportation?
                                          FEAR. You see, an animal would growl at you, and you would go two miles a minute!

                                          What language did the 2000 Year Old Man speak?
                                          Rock. Basic rock. Like, "Hey, don't throw that rock at me! Put that rock away!"

                                          What food did the 2000 Year Old Man eat
                                          Only what was natural and organic. Clouds, stars, rocks. Big things and small things. But we had to be careful of the red ants because a few live ones on your tongue will eat your tongue before you eat them.

                                          Comic geniuses Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner have teamed up once again to bring their beloved 2000 Year Old Man to school. This is one show-and-tell exhibit you're never going to forget!

                                          5 out of 5 stars Great illustrations.......2007-08-30

                                          This is truly one of the greatest illustrated books that I have seen in a while. I am a teacher and every year my students love the illustrations in this book. I look forward to reading it each school year because of the wonderful illustrations. Great work, James Bennett!

                                          5 out of 5 stars THE 2000 YEAR OLD MAN GOES TO SCHOOL.......2006-10-04

                                          Borrowing the format of the grown-up guest who comes to class to tell you something new and wonderful, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner introduce their 2000 year old man to young students in a free for all Q & A. Actually this 2000 year old man is only 40-something because he dates from 1960's TV, created then by this new picture book's two authors, themselves zany, hilarious performing artists and writers. In this book, set in a classroom, young children ask the old, old, old man wide ranging questions about his experiences at school and at home. The clever, humor comes from unexpected connections or a play on words. Many answers were funny, but it is unclear whether young readers would find them so. Hopefully they will perceive them as silly and lighthearted and will be absorbed into the spirit of crazy fun. The book inspires learning because it shows what imagination can do with common knowledge. Most children studying cave men do not consider playing with the facts; this comedy puts perspective on historical information and contemporary living, the mark of successful satire. The final question slips in moral advice about not cheating. The tone is gentle and silly; it proves you can have fun and still be a mensch. The color illustrations capture the modern classroom and the ancient caveman's milieu. The historical scenes are lively and bursting with action. There is no Jewish content in the words or pictures; it is simply a book by two Jews. However, the book includes a CD (differing marginally from the text, but is essentially the same thing), that is funnier. It delivers not only the words, but also their timing and inflection, and herein lies its Jewish value. This CD captures the rhythms and Yiddishkeit accent of the famous Jewish standup comics whose style entered mainstream American humor. This is one of our culture's great gifts to our national arts. Contemporary youngsters who do not know the Jewish origin of this comic delivery can experience it here. The CD is a piece of living history. Recommended for all ages. Reviewed by Ellen G. Cole

                                          A great book. Goes back and forward in time in a very funny way. Extremely entertaining and has great illustrations. The author and illustrator did a great job.

                                          This book follows almost word for word the 2000 year old man audio collection. I have been laughing with the 2000 year old man for 25 years and even my 15 year old son loves the Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner comedy exchange. This is a great intro for younger kids. If you like this, try the CD's, you'll laugh for hours (or years).
