Book Description
Take the guesswork out of the most important decision you make! Interviewing and Selecting High Performers Every Manager's Guide to Effective Interviewing Techniques Current studies show that high-quality workers outproduce poor ones by 25% to 50%. Moreover, these findings reveal the alarmingly high direct and indirect costs companies pay when they hire the wrong people. So why, asks Richard Beatty, would you want to rely on "hit-and-miss" approaches to selecting new employees? In his latest practical, career-oriented guide, Beatty says you no longer have to. Instead, this renowned consultant and author shows how you can consistently choose high-quality performers who fit both your company's immediate needs and long-term strategic goals. Interviewing and Selecting High Performers provides you with an integrated, airtight, step-by-step selection process. Using a high-performance predictive model, this system clarifies the key qualifications needed by candidates for high performance of specific jobs and provides a rigorous interview design approach that enables you to objectively measure whether a particular candidate meets that criteria. With the help of reproducible evaluation forms, you're able to accurately weigh the strengths and weaknesses of various prospects and account for the inevitable tradeoffs involved in the selection process, so that you minimize the risks inherent in the employment decision. In addition, Interviewing and Selecting High Performers offers you unmatched support, including:
- Sound, field-tested interviewing techniques
- Step-by-step instructions for designing effective interviews
- Guidance on opening, conducting, and closing the interview, so that you get the information you need while putting your company in the best light
- More than 500 behaviorally-based questions covering 32 topic areas that help you determine a prospect's overall job fitness

Learn a Quantitative Method to Interviewing.......2003-10-23
In my experience as a professional recruiter over 22 years, I have worked with over 2000 managers. Most managers have never been taught how to interview effectively.
Where do managers usually come from? Promotions. Usually, what is one of their first tasks? Fill the position they just vacated. Where in this process were they taught how to interview? They then ask themselves "What questions did they ask me?"
Generally, the Human Resource Department will give them written guidelines about the personal questions that may not be asked, but do not teach them how to conduct effective interviews. Why not? In smaller companies, the Human Resource Manager themselves may not conduct effective interviews because their previous position did not require that training, and they are "too busy" in their current position to be trained.
This leaves it up to you, the hiring manager. "Interviewing and Selecting High Performers" by Richard Beatty provides you with an excellent foundation to prepare for an interview. He demonstrates why people are an organization's most important resource (People control all of the resources). He provides you with an exercise to demonstrate the cost of a poor hire - should scare you into becoming a manager who selects high performers.
Mr. Beatty walks you through structuring the interview, provides you with 500 or so behaviorally based questions (However, I would shy away from the personal questions), and suggests a structured interview. His structured interview requires a lot of work. However, at the end, you and your interviewing team will be able to give each candidate a numerical grade. The managers that I have taught to use this system swear by it. Personally, I guarantee that if you ever hire someone who received a "34" on their interview because "my gut told me this is a good person", after being disappointed with their performance, you will never do it again.
I would suggest that you also read "Topgrading" by Bradford Smart and then blend the two processes together. Selecting high performers is one of a manager's most important jobs. Congratulations on searching to find a way to be more effective. www.recruiterguy.com
A great book to prepare yourself for interviewing.......2000-08-15
I found this book to have excellent material in interview preparation and selecting good employees. I can recommend this book.

Finding the Words: The Education of James O. Freedman
ASIN: 0472106929 |
Book Description
With refreshing eloquence, James O. Freedman sets down the American ideals that have informed his life as an intellectual, a law professor, and a college and university president. He examines the content and character of liberal education, discusses the importance of letters and learning in forming his own life and values, and explores how the lessons and the habits of mind instilled by a liberal education can give direction and meaning to one's life. He offers a stirring defense of affirmative action in higher education. And he describes how, in the midst of undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, liberal education helped him in that most human of desires--the yearning to make order and sense out of his experience.
Part intellectual biography and part examination of the world of higher education, Idealism and Liberal Education is a quintessentially American book, animated by a confidence that reason, knowledge, idealism, and the better angels of our natures will further human progress.
Freedman offers, as models for shaping one's life, profiles of some of his heroes--Thurgood Marshall, Alexander M. Bickel, Václav Havel, Louis D. Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, Hugo L. Black, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, George Orwell, Edmund Wilson, Martin Luther King, Jr., George F. Kennan, Ralph J. Bunche, and Harry S Truman.
This volume speaks to all Americans who are drawn to the power of liberal education and democratic citizenship and who yearn for the inspiration to lead thoughtful, committed lives.
"This thought-provoking book should be required reading for young people entering college and for the people who advise them. Freedman explores the purpose and importance of a liberal education in shaping values, character, and imagination and convincingly argues for the need for the wisdom and perspective it provides, whatever one's chosen field."--Marian Wright Edelman, President, Children's Defense Fund
"In this wide-ranging series of essays, Freedman reveals himself again as one of America's most erudite, articulate, and reflective university presidents. Students, parents, fellow presidents, and all who love learning will find something in these pages to ponder with profit."--Derek Bok, Former President, Harvard University
Idealism and Liberal Education is an inspiring intellectual diary of James O. Freedman. . . . It is a forceful affirmation of liberal education as a social and cultural force in shaping the minds and characters of our youth as future citizens and leaders of our democracy. It is a tribute to the joy of learning."--Vartan Gregorian, President, Brown University
"Beautifully written and a pleasure to read. At a time when the idea of the liberal university is under attack from all sides, Freedman has given a wondrous personal reaffirmation of its place in our lives."--David Halberstam
James O. Freedman is President of Dartmouth College.

Joys of a Liberal Academic of the Highest Order.......2004-01-22
What a delight to wander, in these many essays, through some fascinating zones within this great academic's mind. Freedman was President of both Dartmouth Universty and the University of Iowa; and was both University Ombudsman and Law Dean at the Universtiy of Pennsylvania. He truly knows whereof he speaks. Here, instead of advocacy, he shares perspectives and joys of his life as a scholar and prominent liberal thinker -- reflecting wonderfully on both the scholarly life and on liberalism (so often unthinkingly maligned in these times the absolutism by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter). As a book collector myself (though hardly on Freedman's scale!), I am particularly fascinated by his essay on the pleasures of collecting books!

Book Description
Because of their photosynthetic activity, plants represent the most important form of life on earth, and thus provide a rich and important source for investigation. By studying the levels of elements such as lead, cadmium and mercury in plants, vital information on background concentrations of such elements in the environments can be obtained. The growth in the use of instrumental multi-element techniques, such as neutron activation, X-ray fluorescence and atomic emission spectroscopy in the analysis of plant samples has led to significant advances in our ability to determine accurately the quantities of such elements present in plant samples. Instrumental Element and Multi-Element Analysis of Plant Samples: Methods and Applications presents the latest key advances that have taken place in a wide range of instrumentation, such as improvements in detection limits, reproducibility and accuracy. Potential problem areas such as representative sampling, sampling processes and accuracy are discussed in detail. Although concentrating on the analysis of plant samples, the book also considers general issues associated with multi-element analysis of environmental analysis in general. Instrumental Element and Multi-Element Analysis of Plant Samples: Methods and Applications will be of great interest to all those working in environmental analysis, particularly in the area of plant sample analysis. Its highly practical and inter-disciplinary approach will make it indispensable to chemists, biochemists, biologists and geologists interested in these areas.

Book Description
How can anyone believe that the unbounded complexity of living things can arise from inanimate matter without the hand and mind of our Almighty Creator?
In an impressive display of evidence covering the pertinent categories of the creation/evolution controversy, Dr. Carl Baugh marshals statement after statement from evolutionary literature showing the impossibility of the evolutionary mechanisms.
He delves into the origin of life issues, the stasis problem, and the record of the fossils. His chapter on design, a prominent topic in the current controversy, covers the spectrum of evidence and proves once again Paley's original statement: "Design requires a Designer!"
Customer Reviews:
Beware.......2004-03-12
In my opinion, this book can be detrimental to a person searching for the "truth," especially those who do not have a strong scientific background. Carl Baugh's book is riddled with what seems like tons of "scientific proof" however, most of the quotes are taken out of context to suit his purposes. He also greatly exaggerates the ideals of evolution. For example, he attempts to explain evolutionary thought by comparing it with the morphing of a child's tricycle into a living, breathing, tiger. I am sure there is someone...somewhere who believes this is possible (there is always one nutjob out there), however, this is not...I repeat NOT the thinking of evolutionists. I attended a lecture given by him and bought the book before the lecture. I am always open to new ideas provided they can be substantiated in some way. Please buy with caution and if you are searching for something to believe, I would suggest you buy another book as well that is more firmly rooted in evolutionary theory so that you can make up your own mind.
Science?.......2003-12-08
Using the same well refuted arguments (the supposedly "human" footsteps inside a dinosaur's print) and circuitous logic (because it seems complex to me therefore there must be a designer) as any other 100 religious creationists before him, the author treads no new ground. As additional food for thought, the author's two graduate degrees come from the same internet diploma mill, "Pacific International University". This supposed "institution" (actually located in Springfield, Missouri) lists its mission statement #4 as, "There is a total commitment by the Faculty to the inerrant Word of God and the Lordship of Christ." This conflicts with the possibility of objective analysis.
A very well documented book!.......2003-10-03
The other comments from evolutionists about this book attack just the author instead of comming with convinsing arguments against the facts presented in the book. They do this for the simple reason that the author attacks the religion of evolution were a person's faith has to be greater that in any other religion.
One of the best books written on Biblical Creation.......2002-10-11
I read this book when it first became available and found it to be absolutely one of the best books written on Biblical Creation. It destroys evolution by solid, concrete evidence that cannot be answered with anything from evolutionists other than more of there theory and none of the facts. How can an evolutionist explain away human footprints inside dinosaur foot prints that have been independently tested and verified as real? This is a must read for anybody who is looking for truth!
this man is a joke..........2002-07-24
he's NOT an acredited scientist, his degrees are dubious, at best. his theories are absurd. His lack of proof is highly disturbing. To take this book seriously would be a severe mistake. He is avoided by all who wish to be taken seriosly, in the field of creationism.
I read it for a laugh, but ended up being very afraid that a man this disturbed could have an influence on others.
