    Book Description

    A wall of silent resentment shuts you off from someone you love....You listen to an argument in which neither party seems to hear the other....Your mind drifts to other matters when people talk to you....

    People Skills is a communication-skills handbook that can help you eliminate these and other communication problems. Author Robert Bolton describes the twelve most common communication barriers, showing how these "roadblocks" damage relationships by increasing defensiveness, aggressiveness, or dependency. He explains how to acquire the ability to listen, assert yourself, resolve conflicts, and work out problems with others. These are skills that will help you communicate calmly, even in stressful emotionally charged situations.

    People Skills will show you

    * How to get your needs met using simple assertion techniques

    * How body language often speaks louder than words

    * How to use silence as a valuable communication tool

    * How to de-escalate family disputes, lovers' quarrels, and other heated arguments

    Both thought-provoking and practical, People Skills is filled with workable ideas that you can use to improve your communication in meaningful ways, every day.

    4 out of 5 stars Great book...........2007-07-29

    This is a great book with useful techniques that you can learn to become a better communicator. I read this a couple of years ago, and started implementing the tips, and I swear people responded to me better.

    However, I only gave this book 4 stars because, due to the many subjects it covers, it doesn't cover all the subjects as thoroughly. But it is a very useful book on communication, and a great book to jumpstart your way to becoming a better communicator.

    Other books I recommend: Everyday Negotiations (great book!), The Assertiveness Workbook, Fight Your Fear and Win, etc.

    4 out of 5 stars Great for Personal & Professional Communication Skills.......2007-05-18

    This communication skills handbook is a good one to add to your library. Sometimes people need to be refreshed on old skills, especially if one does not attend any type of annual conferences or seminars to rejuvenate and motivate one's performance. Noted content topics include: (1)Skills for Bridging the Interpersonal Gap (2)Barriers to Communication (3)Listening Skills (4)Reflective Listening (5)Reflective Responses (6)Reading Body Language (7)Assertive Skills (8)Conflict Management Skills and (9)Collaborative Problem Solving.

    People skills are necessary for all areas of life (familial, workplace, social, and religious). This is a great book for Managers to invest in and provide copies to Administrative Professionals, etc. in the organization. Teachers this is a great book to have on your shelf of books to share with the eager and hungry readers. Also a great gift for teens or college bound students.

    5 out of 5 stars People Skills:How to AsertYourself. Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicks.......2007-02-08

    This is an very detailed people skills guide on how to be sucessful in today's complex world. I found it a very high caliber read about communication.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book.......2007-01-02

    This is a wonderful book by Robert Bolton on people skills focusing on effective communication particularly listening skills, assertion techniques, effective conflict resolution and collaborative problem solving techniques.

    The book is very useful and practical. A good manager achieves results through people hence it is critical for managers to acquire interpersonal skills and effective communication is an important vehicle for achieving this. Some people, due to their cultural and religious backgrounds, fail to be effective managers due to lack of assertiveness. This book provides the techniques to help readers achieve this.

    Conflict is inevitable in organisations due to various reasons. Team leaders need to learn the techniques of effectively handling conflict so that the effectiveness of an organisation is optimal. The author explains how collaborative problem solving results in optimal outcomes.

    The author also discusses the various barriers to effective communication and suggests practical ways to overcome the barriers.

    One common problem that I have observed in my organisation and in myself is that we are often not good listeners. We often fail to get to understand what the other party is really saying and thus lose opportunities for resolving problems. The author methodically explains effective ways to enhance our listening skills and thus help build good interpersonal relationships and hence more productive and motivated people.

    The book is valuable and practical and readers should benefit immensely from studying it.

    4 out of 5 stars Useful insights, practical exercises........2006-08-06

    Written in 1979, People Skills is a classic in the field of communication skills. Like many people, I decided to read this book after it turned up on a must-read list for consultants and business people. The book offers a useful and practical guide to someone looking to improve their effectiveness in interpersonal situations. It is broken down into Listening Skills, Assertion Skills, and Conflict Management Skills.

    The problem that this book has is shared by many books of its kind. There are several really good points and ideas which need to be padded out into a longer form. People Skills was quite a bit longer than it needed to be, and this detracted from its overall strength.

    I found it an interesting compliment to Getting To Yes (Fisher & Ury), which is still my favorite book on conflict resolution and negotiation. Many of the same points are covered, but from a different point of view.

    2 out of 5 stars not helpful.......2007-05-30

    I know a lot of self help materials basically talk about common sense that we already know. But at least most of them serve as a reminder and a lot of good ones lead you into further examining it and once in a while you come up with an "Ah Ha". However, this book seems to limit itself to certain situations. It doesn't give enough examples and the "skills" it mentioned sometimes just don't make sense.

    3 out of 5 stars Good, but basic.......2007-05-07

    The ideas are good for all. The format is overly repetitive and some of the examples seem a little simplistic.

    4 out of 5 stars A must for all.......2007-01-04

    This was a very helpful audio CD that enabled me to easily use its content to my advantage in many different situations both in work and home life.

    5 out of 5 stars AN ESSENTIAL LISTEN !.......2006-03-12

    This six cd set is a real bargain at the Amazon price, it sells for three times as much elsewhere. It is a programme that must be listened to many times to get the maximum benefit, but is well worth it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, which is really everyone on planet Earth. It is a must have programme.

        Book Description

        With this two-volume collection, Ward Churchill and Natsu Saito have assembled material from three of the most powerful documents of the Vietnam era: Bertrand Russell's International War Crimes Tribunal, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War's Winter Soldier Investigation, and the congressional records of the Dellums Committee Hearings on War Crimes in Vietnam. Fully annotated with extensive commentary by the editors, these documents blow away the "fog of war" surrounding US war crimes in Indochina. From "free fire zones" to defoliation campaigns, Jean-Paul Sartre to Green Berets, the testimonies they present paint a picture of wholesale criminality systematically orchestrated by US policy-makers and executed by its foot soldiers.

        We are offered a chilling view of the moral and legal issues surrounding US military engagement. Examining the evidence of war crimes in Indochina, the International Tribunal testimonies include Noam Chomsky, Bertrand Russell, Gabriel Kolko, Tariq Ali, Dave Dellinger and assorted historians, scientists and journalists. From the Dellums Committee Hearings and the Winter Soldier Investigation, we hear from combat soldiers themselves as they recount the grisly realities of a genocidal war.

        By confronting the silence, Churchill and Saito do justice not only to the victims of our indefensible crimes, but to all of us as we bear our moral responsibility to end today's wars of aggression.

        Ward Churchill is chair of the Ethnic Studies department at the University of Colorado at Boulder, a winner of the Gustavus Myers Award for Literature on Human Rights and the author of more than 20 books.

        Natsu Saito is a professor of international law at Georgia State University and a prolific writer and lecturer.

        Book Description

        In this tour de force of the ultimate and extreme in astrophysics, renowned astrophysicist and author J. Craig Wheeler takes us on a breathtaking journey to supernovae, black holes, gamma-ray bursts and adventures in hyperspace. This is no far-fetched science fiction tale, but an enthusiastic exploration of ideas at the cutting edge of current astrophysics. Wheeler follows the tortuous life of a star from birth to evolution and death, and goes on to consider the complete collapse of a star into a black hole, worm-hole time machines, the possible birth of baby bubble universes, and the prospect of a revolutionary view of space and time in a ten-dimensional string theory. Along the way he offers evidence that suggests the Universe is accelerating and describes recent developments in understanding gamma-ray bursts--perhaps the most catastrophic cosmic events of all. With the use of lucid analogies, simple language and crystal-clear cartoons, Cosmic Catastrophes makes accessible some of the most exciting and mind-bending objects and ideas in the Universe. J. Craig Wheeler is currently Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin and Vice President of the American Astronomical Society as of 1999.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......2007-07-22

        This book probably has some of the best descriptions for novae and supernovae, that I have seen, for non-scientists.

        5 out of 5 stars Cosmic catastrophies by J. Craig Wheeler.......2005-08-28

        Highly recommended for the cosmically curious who does not have the mathmatical background. It is easy to understand and well written.

        5 out of 5 stars How stars work.......2001-02-26

        I found this book a complete surprise. From the title, I expected only a story about explosions and collisions but this book is much, much more. It provides really brilliant descriptions of how all kinds of stars evolve and how they regulate their energy production. After reading this book I fully understood why aging stars produce more energy but are cooler than they were in their youth. A minor complaint might be that the content is not well organized. A type 1A supernova is explained here and a type 2 there and later some more about 1A etc. But, I shouldn't dwell on a quibble. This is a terrific book. After reading it I'll never think of iron or nickel in quite the same way again.

        5 out of 5 stars The biggest explosions.......2000-10-06

        There seems to be an aspect of human nature that wants to search out and discover things that are the most extreme in their class. People just seem to love record setters. This is a book about cosmic record setters. Within its pages Wheeler describes the biggest, most energetic, oldest, densest, things in the universe. If cosmic record holders hold any interest for you, then I think you'll find this book as enjoyable as I did.

        Wheeler begins his book by describing how stars form, how they evolve in response to gravity, how they ignite, how they burn, and eventually how they die. This is a logical introduction, since virtually all the examples of cosmic catastrophes involve stars in one form or another. Like people, though, the life of each star is unique - and the end times are very different. Wheeler does an excellent job of describing the negative feedback process that stabilizes solar activity. If the star generates too much heat it expands. This expansion reduces the temperature, and throttles back on the rate of nuclear fusion. If the star cools down it contracts, and the contraction heats it up again, keeping the rate of fusion at a remarkably constant level for long periods of time during the stars life.

        Much of Wheeler's text is actually about how stars evolve. This is important because to understand their deaths, you need to understand how they are born and how they evolve over their lifetimes. Their deaths are frequently the most interesting parts of the story because they are often involved with the catastrophes that are the book's principal thesis. While I bought the book because of its discussion about cosmic catastrophes, I found it valuable for its descriptions of stellar evolution alone. This includes a nice description of the "solar-neutrino" problem as well as a nice explanation of the red-giant phase, and especially the last stages during the life of a massive star that explodes in a super nova.

        The foundational understanding of the basics of stellar evolution makes it easier to follower Wheeler as he takes the reader on a tour of the major players in cosmic catastrophes: white dwarfs, super novae (of many different types), neutron stars, black holes, and gamma-ray bursts. Wheeler's descriptions of these phenomena (to the extent that modern science understands them) are among the best I've seen in a popular science textbook. There is also a smattering of discussion about the origin of the universe in the Big Bang, and some interesting speculation about time (and space) travel using black holes.

        In any book dealing with modern cosmology and astronomy there are inevitable discussions about the nature of space and time and how they fit together with Einstein's theory of general relativity. Most such books have at least one figure showing a funnel-shaped construct with grid lines converging as they swoop into the tapering end where the black hole resides. Wheeler uses lots of such diagrams. However, I think he does a better job than most at helping the reader understand what the diagrams illustrate. More importantly, he helps the reader understand what the diagrams do not illustrate, and their limitations (he dispels some common misperceptions about these sorts of figures). I especially enjoyed Wheeler's explanations about how one might (with the application of the appropriate mental acrobatics) use the diagrams to actually envision what is really going on in our multi-dimensional world.

        Another thing I liked about Wheeler's book is the clear and frequent illustrations. For the most part the author has anticipated those places where prose just cannot quite complete the mental picture. When this happens there is inevitably a well-constructed diagram that finishes the concept and makes things clear. There was one exception, however. Figure 7.3 really needs to have an arrow or circle marking the location of SN 1987A. [I'm pretty sure I found it, but the exposure changes between the photographs, and so I'm not quite sure. It would have been nice to have the author's help in preventing a false identification.]

        Reading this book one gets the sense that even though it is a qualitative description of astronomy (there are no equations) Wheeler is not over simplifying. His discussion of super novae, for example, lists many classes and describes theoretical uncertainties that other authors gloss over or ignore all together. Of course there is much more detail to super novae than what is in Wheeler's book. But at the qualitative level Wheeler leaves the reader understanding that there are many classifications of super novae, that some of the boundaries between classifications are not always so clear cut, and that we still don't know a lot about how some types form, and how other types explode. These are concepts that other popular science textbooks don't always convey. I think the only thing missing from the chapters on super novae is a table that summarizes all the different types and some of their descriptive identifiers.

        Unlike some popular science texts, Wheeler devotes quite a bit of time describing the evolution of binary stars, which play an important role in some of the greatest cosmic catastrophes. I think he does an especially good job of qualitatively describing accretion disks, and how they fit in the context of mass transfer in binary systems. It's this mass transfer that is ultimately involved in some of the most spectacular catastrophes in the sky.

        Overall, this is a great book. If you enjoy astronomy I'm sure you will find it satisfying and informative. It's just the sort of book to enjoy on a vacation, or after a grueling day at the office.

            5 out of 5 stars Book review.......2007-09-28

            Excellent product condition! No problems with seller - very straightforward purchase and will buy again!!

            3 out of 5 stars Decent, but had a lot of fluff.......2007-08-29

            For me this book was required for a class. I guess it wasn't bad but I felt like I had to pick through all their example stories to find any of the real content. So much was case studies of one child or another. And most of the case studies were in themselves mostly fluff.

            5 out of 5 stars Packed with usefull information.......2007-02-18

            I found this book very engaging, the topics were interesting and the graphics were very appropriate. I really liked how every other page had an interesting question that you could apply to everyday life and you got the answer in 2 pages. I would skip ahead to find out the answer. But after my developmental psychology class was over i wanted to keep this book. i love it.

            I guess I was thinking this book would read more like a condensed book---not just pages and pages of definitions. The definitions are great, but it's not an "outline: as the title implies.

                              Book Description

                              How would Christ have been received in a liberal world? How would todays rules and regulations changed reactions to his life? This is a humerous look at how liberalism would have dealt with Christ and His teachings. It is presented to us through the eyes of Joe C. Fuss, a reporter in Jerusalem. We also find comments from national radio celebrities Rush Limbaugh and Mark Davis. This is truly a unique look at liberalism and its results.
