Book Description

Continuing the emphasis from the last edition on the use of accounting information by business owners, lenders, managers, and others, this edition incorporates additional enhancements intended to offer an even more accessible text. Technical detail has been reduced, especially with regard to topics better suited for the course in intermediate accounting. All enhancements made to this edition are the result of extensive market feedback, and fall within three key categories: 1) Pedagogical Improvements feature real company chapter openers, additional opportunities for analyzing financial statements, and an increased emphasis on critical thinking and communication skills, 2) The Use of the Corporate Approach, 3) A shift toward the use of perpetual inventory for chapters 5 and 9. In addition, EFA is one of the lowest priced texts on the market.

Book Description

Are the people who report to you giving you their best? Is each individual on your team performing to his or her fullest potential?

For more than thirty years, renowned business consultant and bestselling author Ken Blanchard and legendary NFL coach Don Shula have motivated teams to peak performances. In their classic, authoritative work on coaching, Everyone's a Coach, they distilled their rich collective experience down to its key elements and shared their secrets for inspiring others to greatness.

Now, by popular demand, Blanchard and Shula have created The Little Book of Coaching, capturing the essence of their classic in this indispensable motivational gem--a gift to their readers and fans.

At the heart of this book is a simple acronym that describes the qualities of an effective leader:

Conviction-driven--Never compromise your beliefs

Overlearning--Practice until it's perfect

Audible-ready--Know when to change

Consistency--Respond predictably to performance

Honesty-based--Walk your talk

Using a highly effective "tag-team" approach, Blanchard and Shula impart the five leadership secrets behind this acronym. Shula tells you how each coaching concept worked on the field, and then Blanchard explains how you can apply each strategy in a leadership situation.

Instructive and inspirational, The Little Book of Coaching is the essential handbook that will teach you how to unleash excellence in anyone.

One of the Best Books I've Read.......2006-04-23

One of my interests is why some people succeed and why others don't. Two sports teams have equally talented players. One team goes to the championship while the other team struggles in the playoffs, if they make the playoffs! Why?

"The Little Book of Coaching" outlines a simple process that will help anyone do better. I follow these steps and have taught these steps in classes. The five simple "COACH" steps are:
* Conviction-Driven - Never compromise your beliefs
* Overlearning - Practice until it's perfect
* Audible-Ready - Know when to change
* Consistency - Respond predictably to performance
* Honesty-Based - Walk your talk

These steps are simple to learn. Implement them and you will see a positive change in your life.

Very brief.......2005-05-13

It's a very brief book, small size, big print, quotations taking whole pages. While it covers some good ideas, it lacks meat. It can serve as a refresher, but definitely not a comprehensive coaching sourcebook.

Four Stars.......2003-08-14

I bought this book for a college class. Excellent ideas on how to coach or lead in a business.

Double Benefits.......2002-10-15

Life, no matter personal or bisiness, is so much like the game (such as NFL).

How to make yourself stay competitive and strong is as important as how to motivate people surrounded you to spearhead to victory.

Business guru Kenneth Blanchard and NFL coach Don Shula share with us their perspectives on coaching and leadership with different methods but same objective. So you can have a better view of how to improve your own coaching skill.

One book, one price for two professional and treasurable insights. It's obviously a best buy!

Simple and Powerful.......2002-08-19

Ken Blanchard's wisdom and Don Shula's coaching experience come together in this easy-to-read book. The simple truths expressed by these two gurus are very applicable in both your professional and personal lives. This book is appropriate for all levels in an organization and is a "must read" for any leader or coach.

Book Description

"This book is an excellent presentation of the application of martingale theory to the theory of Markov processes, especially multidimensional diffusions. This approach was initiated by Stroock and Varadhan in their famous papers. (...) The proofs and techniques are presented in such a way that an adaptation in other contexts can be easily done. (...) The reader must be familiar with standard probability theory and measure theory which are summarized at the beginning of the book. This monograph can be recommended to graduate students and research workers but also to all interested in Markov processes from a more theoretical point of view."

Book Description

Fish and fungi, plants and protists, mammals and monera all seem to get along swimmingly in and around the peaceful-looking pond environment. But a closer look at a small square reveals an ever-changing world. . .home to a larger variety of creatures and goings-on than you'd ever imagine, even in just a drop of its water! This beautifully illustrated "you are there" science book--part of the critically acclaimed One Small Square series--is brimming over with fun-to-do experiments and activities for children ages 7 and up. Includes a pond field guide, a glossary-index, and a resource list.

Nothing But Nice Things to Say About It.......2005-04-19

This is a wonderful book that can be enjoyed by all age groups and levels of education. The book's introduction says "Although a pond looks peaceful, a pond is home to more creatures doing more things than you imagined. There are millions of ponds everywhere. . .there is a good chance that one is close to your home."

The book does a good job of telling the reader about these creatures and their activities. Pond is written primarily for younger readers. From the beginning it stresses safety and adult involvement in the field activities. The book has excellent illustrations of the pond organisms and the equipment needed for the field activities. The pictures are very communicative and would be enjoyed by younger readers. The accompanying text may be a little beyond their understanding.

Overall the book describes the pond creatures, their habitats, and their activities. Some of the habitats mentioned include the surface film, lily pads, water column, and bottom muck (benthos). Some activities covered are feeding, laying eggs, photosynthesis, and absorbing oxygen, plus others. The book also talks about changing conditions in a pond, such as when it rains, nightime critters and activities, and the pond during different seasons.

The end of the book has seven pages of common pond creatures. It groups them by mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, non-insect invertebrates, plants, fungi, protists, and monera. Both this section and the well-organized index contain many pictures. The groupings may be lost on younger readers, but are very useful for higher level students.

All in all I really like this book. It is well organized and an enjoyable read. As a college educator I use this book as a reference source, yet can read it and show the wonderful illustrations to my young nieces.

One Small Square -- Pond.......2001-04-16

This is one of the best books in a spectacular series that represnts the world, particularly to the young child, as a place of science, high drama, and magic. The magnificent illustrations of Patricia J. Wynne, the world-renowned natural history artist, pull the reader into the world of the small small pond with power and intimacy that no photograph could ever match; the clear and concise text of Donald M. Silver encourages the exploration of science and the joy of reading. I highly recommend this book to teachers, libraries, and parents everywhere, and suggest pursuing the rest of the series as well.

Book Description

This novel was written at a women's writing workshop. It's purpose is to explore the ways in which the rules of female sexuality keep changing. The intent is to help each woman have a better sense of her body in all its parts and to empower her to claim it as her own. It also looks at several health risks resulting from the sexual revolution, and tries to do this all with humor. The goal is to help each woman not have more sex, but to gain better satisfaction.

Hazel Newman Becomes a New Woman.......2001-05-04

With her novel Achieving It All, Bengta Boydstrom looks at one woman's efforts to let the sexual revolution revolutionize her life. Set effectively during the late seventies, the novel traces Hazel Newman's changes as she seeks fulfillment.

Despite a loving marriage and a mostly satisfying life, Hazel wonders about all the fuss over female orgasms. Hazel tackles her journey with humor and tenacity: from the embarrassing arrival of a sex manual as a book-of-the-month selection, to her experimentation with sexual adventure, and to some surprising revelations.

Boydstrom's narrator offers way too much detail for polite conversation, but that bluntness adds not only to the novel's realism but also to its razor-sharp humor. Readers might share in Hazel's frequent blushing, but they will also share in her laughter and her sense of wonder.

Required reading for all women and some men.........2000-09-08

Ms Boydsrtom writes with style and charm and Achieving It All is a funny, at times sad but always honest look at today's woman and the problems she faces in today's world. Women!! Good bless them. I'm thankful I'm a man...

Crazy, zany and so true..........2000-07-26

If you are female came of age when Masters first met Johnson and J. penned The Sensuous Woman, but never found the big O, this is the book for you. Men should not be afraid to read it either, especially if they have enough ego strength to laugh at a few jibs aimed in their direction. The pacing is almost like stand-up and each chapter ends with a punchline.
