This book changed my life forever!.......2006-10-12

I saw Linda Kelley on a Prime Time news show several years ago. She was doing a segment on her book. She looked at a family with both parents working and barely making ends meet. Both mom and dad were stressed and never got to spend time together as a family. Upon further inspection, it was actually costing this family for both parents to work! I figured out my true salary at the time and found out I was only taking home $50/week after all my expenses. I cried for hours and then realized I could do something to change it. Now, two children later, I'm still a stay-at-home mom. My family and I owe a huge thank you to Linda and her book!

Surprising Information!!!.......2006-03-04

When I first picked up this book, I was skeptical of the value. However, after doing the analysis on my own household when we lost our family business and I needed to determine what a second income was worth to us, I was really surprised. In my situation it seemed that the most devastating effect on the second income was income tax. WOW - it was half gone! Then the work related expenses I never thought to consider, because I perceived that they were neglible, really added up. You just won't believe all this unless you look at it for yourself. Most people shrug this information off because they don't really see it, and they think they have a handle on this. It isn't what you make, folks, it is what you keep. That came through loud and clear in this book. You might have a second income of $60,000 a year and be losing money and not realize it. This book should be reprinted and promoted more heavily in these economic times.

Especially useful for families with kids.......2004-10-26

If you're having trouble living on one income, espcecially if you have kids, this book simplifies the process of figuring out whether you'll truly benefit both financially and emotionally from working outside the home. Here's why:

1. The author gives detailed worksheets for all sorts of extra costs associated with working, from the expected (taxes, work clothes) to the unexpected (extra hosiery, meals outside the home, guilt costs)

2 Real life examples are given, showing the real benefits (or lack of them) from an extra income. If one person earns $50,000, for example, and another earns $20,000, the extra income can well be eaten up with extra taxes, child care, reduced time (making it more likely that someone will have to be paid for housework or other chores) and more.

3. Proof is povided that indicates that an extra working parent can actually put families in an economic hole - or deepen the one they're in.

The author has worked outside the home and went back to work when her kids got older. This book is not a diatribe against working moms but a detailed examination of the realities of having that extra job. Clear, logical and well-written, this one is a must-have for anyone considering work outside the home. If you don't have kids, this book may not appeal to you, since most of the examples do relate to working parents, not childless couples.

insightful, practical, non-biased advice.......2003-03-21

If you're trying to decide of you can live on one income once the baby is born, you need this book. Unlike a lot of similar books, this book doesn't try and sway you one way or the other. (In other words, some families may find they're better off with one income, some families will complete the same worksheets and find they do indeed need two incomes.) It offers little in the way of philosophical, social or political justifications for one parent at home. It provides a way that each family can analyze what they spend and if two incomes is necessary. Some families may be surprised to see that having a second salary may cost them more! The points about taxation were especially revealing, and you don't have to have your masters degree in economics to follow this book!

Literally life changing book for me.......2001-08-13

After buying this book and working through the figures, my husband and I determined that we could live on one income after our baby was born.

Why do we think we have to have two incomes to survive? It's because our existing lifestyle choices necessitate the additional income. Bigger house? Two brand new cars? Designer clothes? Stereos, appliances, toys, etc. If you think you need a big, brand new house and fill it with a lot of things, you will need two incomes and then some.

The main lesson I learned from this book is the high cost of an additional income, especially after having kids and incorporating daycare expenses.

Read this book with an open, objective state of mind and it can work for you, too.

Book Description

The world's oldest and best-organized conglomerate now reveals management techniques everyone can use. Unlike other guides to business, The Mafia Manager shuns theoretical verbiage to present the philosophy of leadership that founded and captained "The Silent Empire" through centuries of expansion and success. Some sample pearls of wisdom:"Be sure you understand what your boss has ordered before you act on his command. What if you whack the wrong guy, or bomb the wrong joint....Learn the art of asking questions." "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer." "Don't become involved in any office political battle without first asking yourself, 'What's in it for me?' and then 'What's in it for them?'""If you must lie, be brief."

What would Tony Soprano do?.......2007-04-05

Tony Soprano as a CEO? Fugedabodit! This book is the real deal - a tough, direct, no-nonsense guide to management. Use the practical advice in this book, and you'll either be bumped up or bumped off! Mafia references aside, this is really a fun and useful read.

Don't quite know what to say.......2006-09-05

Rarely do I give book rating of one star. Mainly because I don't know what that kind of rating exactly means. Does it mean that I didn't like the book? If so, what is the difference between one star and two stars. I guess it is hard to give argumentative explanation of ones own rating. So I won't. :)

What do I have in front of me?
This is something that advertises itself as a modern time macchiavelism. But, to say that this book has any kind of resemblance to "Il principe" is highly overstated. We are all aware (and if we are not, we should be) of methods described in this book. Methods that concern being promoted in any kind of job that you do. Method here being ruthlessnes, and most of all efficiency, wihtout feel for compassion and human realtions in any other kind than exploitment. It may sound as something that Macchiavlei said, it may even resemble Nietzschean philospohy, but precisely in that lies the point.

I fail to picture the reader of this book. I fail to see big corporate director who alreday doesen't know all that is written here and more, and quite frankly, I fail to see him reading at all, but that is another story. To average joe out there, who thinks that there are marvellous wonders and secrets written here this book will seem quite drab. After all, rutlessnes is not employment strategy, it is just a state of character. One who is not able to do such a thing won't be any different upon reading this book.

If you are looking for philosophy of modern times, there are tons of authors out there, of ages past that are presenting better work of modern times than any of the contemporary autors. Machiavelli being one of the better known.

Maybe I just don't want to accept the existance of the universe (which paradoxically I can tell for sure that is real) presented in this book, and maybe therein lies my angst, but that is for you to judge if you, by some twist of chance happen to stumble upon this book.

A Kind Word---and a Gun..........2005-11-28

Let me tell you what the pseudonymous "V"'s "The Mafia Manager is better than:

*It's better than waking up with a bloody horse head in your bed!

*It's better than going to the bottom of the River with a pair of concrete galoshes---erm, cement overshoes!

*It's better than disappointing your Mama!

*It's better than getting a firsthand look at where Jimmy Hoffa *really* is!

*It's way better than taking a Drive!

Actually, "V" has put together a sage, sulphurous little tome chock-full of practical strategic and tactical advice for corporate warfare with zero BS content.

And very much like the Original Gangsta Julius Caesar's Gaul (we're talking old school now, homey...way old school), V's treatise is divided into three parts: Managing Yourself, Managing Others, and the Rest of It (negotiations, memos, meetings, dumping a body and getting away with it---heh, just kidding).

Simply put: the goal of the Cosa Nostra---the Mob, the Mafia, the Racket, Our Thing, the Outfit---has been, from time immemorial, back to the very first Capos di tutti Capo---to Make Money.

To paraphrase Malcolm X: To Make Money by Any Means Necessary.

The good news for you: whether you're into rolling casino operators in Atlantic City for "security insurance" or something a little more tame, the First Commandment remains the same: you're in this game to win.

To win, according to V, you gotta: 1) Get in a position where you Manage People; 2) Be brutal, crafty, efficient, clean, and ruthless.

Why so glum, little camper? At least in your line of work, unlike the business activity of the Mob, your competitor probably won't wind up in a dumpster.

Unless you work that way, naturally.

"Mafia Manager", then, distills more than a thousands years of gimlet-eyed Sicilian advice (along with a few choice axioms) into just a whisper over 100 pages, ships it across from Palermo, and puts it into your hands.

The only thing that doesn't ring true is "V" supposed mobster antecedents: he talks a good game, but the copyright reveals the author as "Curtis Johnson"---not exactly the name you'd ascribe to a good old Paisano. But hey, maybe that's the alias he uses up in his Federal Witness Protection Program dacha in some gated-burbclave in Idaho.

Some Offers you can't Refuse. "The Mafia Manager" is one you won't want to.

a must have in a corporate environment.......2005-09-30

Had I had this book a few years back, maybe I would have spotted, understood and survived office politics I found myself in the middle of in my last job. Still, I am learning from it for my current job. Would recommend it to any person in a managerial position who was raised to believe you should not do upon others what you do not wish to have done to you. That sort of upbringing does not go well with corporate environment. If that is your case (too), you NEED this book, and a number of others, to learn what your parents failed to teach you.

Low-end.......2005-06-02

I study leadership, politics in business organisations and emotional transactions. I bought this book thinking it would be factual, conclusive and real. On the other hand I found it's written with a mocking tone, has no relation to real cases and is as shallow as it gets.

It could be good for some peasant who believes he can get ahead at work easily. But in reality, there's far more than this book wastes time about.

Book Description

An historical analysis of the development and reform of the law of prior obligations as expressed in preexisting duty rule and past consideration rule. Teeven's principal focus is on the judicial rationalization of common law reforms to partially remove the bar to enforcement of promises grounded in the past. This study traces American deviations from English common law doctrine over the past two centuries in developing theories to overcome traditional impediments to recovery presented by the law of prior obligations. It also explores ideas for further reforms found buried in past case law. The growing unease with both the dashing of legitimate consensual expectations and the perceived unfairness to naive, ill-informed, and otherwise disadvantaged parties served as the impetus for liberalization of the exclusive contract bargain test. The resultant reforms adhered to the modern realist emphasis on fairness. The expansion of contractual liability to include promises looking to the past encompasses some of the most important reforms of the consideration contract since its genesis. As a consequence, contractual liability can no longer be defined solely in terms of bargain consideration since contract law now includes a broader range of promissory liability.

Book Description

Though they met just once, and even then didn't know what to make of each other's work, Einstein and Freud had more in common than they might have imagined. Each ran out of evidence using the traditional scientific methods that had worked well since the dawn of the scientific revolution and each adopted new scientific methods that opened up unprecedented intellectual landscapes—relativity in Einstein's case, the unconscious in Freud's. In this brilliant, elegant book, renowned science writer Richard Panek traces the creation of two new sciences—cosmology and psychoanalysis—that have allowed us for more than a hundred years to explore previously unimaginable universes without and within.

Like a nonfiction version of Einstein's Dreams, Panek's The Invisible Century is a story of a revolution in thought that altered not only what or how much we see, but also the very nature of seeing.

Customer Reviews:

Half right.......2005-06-21

The rating should be exactly two-and-a-half stars, averaging out five for Einstein and zero for Freud, but Panek gets half-a-star for gamely acknowledging Freud's deficits and trying spunkily to make the best of a bad case. His thesis is that these two investigators probed the secrets of heretofore invisible worlds, gravity on the one hand and the unconscious on the other. The difference is that Einstein insisted that his hypotheses about gravity be tested empirically and they passed the tests, whereas Freud's hypotheses either failed the tests or were so phrased as to defy testing at all. Both men illustrate the undeniable important of imagination in scientific researches, but Freud's imagination was promiscuous, uncontrolled, and corrupted by his myriad prejudices. The chasm between the two men cannot be explained by cavalierly stating that a "soft" science like psychology cannot be expected to be as empirical as a hard science like physics. Social scientists cannot be fantasists pure and simple, or else Tolkien is a social scientist. Freud more nearly resembles Tolkien than Einstein. So a book comparing Freud and Einstein is doomed on the title page: no comparison is possible; it is a matter of apples and oranges; and to boot, the apple is that proverbial bad apple than ruins the barrel. The therapeutic community is still trying to get the bad taste of Freudianism out of its mouth.

brilliant and intoxicating.......2005-05-17

I'm very careful about what science (or math. or anything that's not MBA) that I read, because usually these texts are dry, boring to the point of What's the Point? Why would an author write a book that seems to deliberately set out to lose readers is my question. But The Invisible Century is one of those extremely rare books (Bill Bryson's Short History of the World is the only other one in recent memory I can think of) that is not just fascinating, but also fascinatingly written, and that makes some extremely difficult ideas -- Einstein's theory's of relativy, hello? -- almost thrillingly understandable. I put down this book, and for the first time felt I understand what Einstein was driving at. Ditto went for Freud's theory of the unconscious.

Panek's amazing point (kind of profound, when you think about it) is that Einstein began probing the heavens at the same time Freud began experimenting with his theories of the unconsicous -- that basically both men (who did meet once, acc. to Panek!), were after the secrets that lay behind invisible screens -- Einstein the sky, and what lay beyond it, and Freud our dreamworld and our id. Really fascinating stuff.

Now as a topic, none of this is easy sledding. But it's RIchard Panek's great gift to make these profound contributions by two of the towering geniuses of the last century into something succinct, intriguing, readable, and easy-to-understand, while never patronizing the reader, or lapsing back into over-intellectual science talk. Except for the Bryson book, I didn't think there was such a thing as a science book I could not put down. But this is one. Buy The Invisible Century right now! You'll be glad you did!

Mysteries of gravity and consciousness.......2005-03-24

I suspect Panek sought to elucidate a philosophy of science that worked equally well for both Einstein and Freud. If so, the effort was unsuccessful. Panek makes a good argument for identifying gravity and consciousness as the two key mysteries left unexplained by 20th century science, but his arguments that Einstein and Freud shared a common ethos or methodology fall flat. Additionally, the reader is left suspicious that such a link might still be found.

The book relies heavily upon 'history of science' style stories about Einstein. Historians of science have worked out methods of presenting Einstein's breakthrough insight, light moves at a constant speed through out the universe, in understandable stories which can engage the non-technical reader. There is no need to bore the reader with wave mechanics, Lorenz functions, field dynamics or statistical physics, the notions are communicated in simple thought experiments and parables.

The same cannot be said for Freud's investigations of consciousness. Unlike the evocative history of Einstein and atomic energy, historians of psychology have generally dismissed Freudian notions. For Panek to interest us in Freud, this 'Freud as huckster' image must be over turned. Early in the book, Panek suggests Freud's perspective was founded on neuro-anatomy, a pure science few will link to Freud. Since neuro-anatomy is slowly emerging from an era where the brain was simply a 'black box' that worked, the reader might wonder if Freud really had something to say about neurology. If so, it might be of real interest.

Unfortunately, the connection with neurology is abandoned in the second half of the book. Panek instead reviews 'Positivism', the view that we can be positive about certain truths and only those truths can be the subject of science. Positivism has an odd place in contemporary philosophy-of-science. It is both 'entirely discredited in detail' and 'widely accepted in general'. In other words, it is a fine 'working premise', but don't ever write it down because it cannot be defended. Both Freud and Einstein were members of the founding Positivist society, and thus both played a role in its failures. This negative relationship will convince few readers Einstein and Freud had anything in common.

The failures of Positivism make an interesting history, but Panek isn't prepared to tell that story. It includes mention of the paradox of Schroedinger's Cat, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and Godel's Incompleteness theorem. None of these issues make it into the book, so Panek's review of Positivism is hollow at best.

Book Description

For 200 years before the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, findings in the sciences of the earth and of nature threatened religious belief based on the literal truth of the Bible. This book traces out the multiple conflicts and accommodations within religion and the new sciences through the writings of such heroes of the English Enlightenment as David Hume, Robert Hooke, John Ray, Erasmus Darwin (Charles’ grandfather), Thomas Burnet, and William Whiston.

Keith Thomson brings us back to a time when many powerful clerics were also noted scientific scholars and leading scientists were often believers. He celebrates the force and elegance of their prose along with the inventiveness of their arguments, their certitude, and their not infrequent humility and caution. Placing Charles Darwin’s work in the context of earlier writers on evolutionary theory, Thomson finds surprising and direct connections between the anti-evolutionary writings of natural theologians like William Paley and the arguments that Darwin employed to turn anti-evolutionist ideas upside-down. This is an illuminating chronicle of an important period in the history of ideas and one that casts interesting light on the anti-evolution/creationist controversies of our own time.

It Didn't Start With Darwin.......2005-07-21

Caught up in our own times, we can easily be deceived into thinking that the battle between those who view the Bible as literally true and the scientists who come up with demonstrations that it is not is something that started sometime around the Scopes trial. We might push back and concede that the controversy began with Darwin and his famous theory, but this is wrong, too. The battle between Galileo and the church had been fought centuries before (the church nominally won, to its shame), and then Christianity versus science was stilled, but it wasn't Darwin who reactivated it. For 200 years before Darwin, scientists and philosophers had faced the difficulties that Enlightenment thinking had brought for those who thought the Bible literally true. In _Before Darwin: Reconciling God and Nature_ (Yale University Press), Keith Thomson has given the history of the conflict before Darwin's Theory of Evolution was proposed and became the cornerstone of biology. He examines thinking on both sides of the issue, and is fair to both; after all, science came up with flawed evaluations for, say, the age of the Earth or for heredity, and the clerics came up with explanations that only seem absurd with the hindsight we have the luxury of displaying from the twenty-first century. It is a great story of a march toward eventual understanding, full of odd personalities and dramatic events.

The main figure in this book is William Paley (1743-1805), a "somewhat shy, shambling figure, built short and square," who wrote many books on faith, but it is his final book, _Natural Theology_, that made him famous, and its ideas are still used by creationists and those who favor Intelligent Design today. Even Darwin was impressed by it, before he toured the world and started coming up with his own ideas. He said it gave him as much delight as Euclid did. Paley's famous contribution to the argument was that of finding a rock on a heath versus finding a watch; it is all too clear that the watch has a designer. (In England, indeed, Thomson's book is titled _The Watch on the Heath_.) Similarly, anything as complex as a living organism must obviously have a designer, and of course the world had a designer, too. This argument was not original to Paley (it goes back at least as far as Cicero) but he expressed it so forcefully as to make it his forever. There was more to Paley's book, and he accepted as an intellectual ally Thomas Malthus. He helped promulgate Malthusian ideas, such as how people showed overproduction of their numbers and that the environmental economy changed in the struggle for existence. Paradoxically, therefore, Paley was advocating two of the fundamentals that would power Darwin's ideas. The theme of such connections between those promoting faith and thereby eventually assisting the triumph of science runs throughout Thomson's book.

Christians had to reconcile their faith with what scientific evidence demonstrated to them, not only about the age of the earth but about the imperfections within creatures and the amorality of animals in competition for resources. Thomson shows that the way forward for Christians devoted to their Bibles as well as to natural history was to accept that the sacred texts were not scientific texts, and were metaphorical. Science and religion would deal with two different realms. They could always satisfyingly trump science with a "That's the way God made it" or "That proves God's benevolence," but this in itself indicated a basic acceptance of the scientific truths first. The alternative of rejecting science's findings entirely remains attractive to many, but also rejects the simple fact that over the centuries, science has proved to be a better way of explaining the way the universe works (setting aside such fields of enquiry as ethics or salvation). Those who make such a rejection loudly insist that there is controversy over Darwin's ideas when actually there is no such scientific controversy, but Thomson's fine book shows that they are merely participating in a long losing battle. The battle didn't start with Darwin.
