                "What is the major barriers to effective communication. As an manager or supervisor, how to eliminate or reduce these barriers. Please use some examples in your workplace to illustrate your points.

                4 out of 5 stars A long read, but time well spent........1998-11-15

                I read this book because I am a big fan of Ken Blanchard and I was not let down. I could only take the book in small doses, taking over a month to read. However, situational selling to me was like a discovery, really opening my eyes to seeing the workplace and interrelationships much differently. I recommend this book to those who have the staying power of a long textbook type book.

                                    In the year 2003, Mars will be closer to Earth than it has ever been. This presents the best (and rare) opportunity to observe the Red Planet. This book is a well-illustrated resource created for the amateur astronomer. It covers everything that is needed to know to make the most of this unique occurrence.

                                    The Mars Observer's Guide describes what equipment is needed to observe Mars and explains the various methods of recording what you can see: from simple sketches to CCD (charge-coupled devices) imaging.

                                    Astronomers will also learn what to look for throughout 2003 and also in 2005 and 2007 when similar phenomena occur. The book goes beyond being an observational guide with an excellent general introduction to Mars. The planet's structure and key physical features are extensively described and illustrated.

                                    The long history of its observation from Earth is also discussed, including the intriguing Martian canals controversy. The book addresses the various space missions to Mars -- past and future -- and contains fascinating images sent via space probes.

                                    Mars Observer's Guide even considers the possibility of life on Mars which will encourage many current and would-be astronomers to diligently watch the Red Planet in 2003.

                                    This book is fantastic. It is not only a simple guide to observe Mars, but there are also a lot of important astronomical concepts. Really you can learn a lot about it. This book helps us to see what our eyes have seen in a beautiful place very far and what and how we can see again.

                                        I remembered that the book was first written about 30 years ago, by Raphael D. Levine. The author is very famous in the field of Physical Chemistry, especially in quantum dynamics field. The Journal of Physical Chemistry has a special issue in 1998 to celebrate his 60-year-old birthday. I think the book is the first one to introduce the concepts and theoretical description of quantum dynamics theory in a detail level. Today in the literature, many authors like to cite this book. It has effected the development of quantum dynamics field greatly. The book also effected me a lot to study quantum dynamics.

                                          Written in the form of a scientist’s diary of a two-week float trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. There we find rocks of great age, fossils, dwellings of Stone Age peoples, and experience the land much as our ancestors did during all those untold generations in the dimly remembered world from which we somehow took flight.

                                          Fascinating! An excellent overview of what is "known", according to available evidence, about how life - particularly humans - evolved, along with some extremely intriguing theories yet unproved (although the "aquatic ape" hypothesis was being taught when I studied anthropology 20 years ago! Indeed - dig Danakil!). All set like a metaphor within the context of a 2-week rafting trip through the Grand Canyon with insight into its evolution. On the other hand, the "metaphor" can also be put the other way around. Look at man's evolution in the context of that of the Grand Canyon. It's really food for thought. Might be a bit of a hard chew in certain spots for those without a certain level of knowledge or interest in natural science, but the level required is not THAT high and Calvin explains clearly and succinctly enough to follow if you take time to read any troublesome passages twice. Popular science writing at its best. It is humbling and awesome to contemplate our existence as he explains it. The marvel of man owes so much to a certain - serendipity - that one must believe in a creative force swirling and pushing towards ever more interesting development, even if one does not believe in a "God" per se (or if one does believe in Gods, to borrow from a popular film, "they must be crazy"). The "chaotic" (stoachistic) concepts he describes are particularly intriguing. The idea that many of the traits and abilities that make us so "superior" are actually "hitchhikers"; unexpected benefits of adaptations to challenges completely unrelated to what they eventually turned out good for. Made possible because evolution - the developmental force - is by nature an innovative, irrepresible and experimental one - one that is always pushing "upstream". Now THAT is a miracle! Also really enjoyed the quotes pulled from many, many sources (from the Bible to Descartes to Newton) published in the margins which illuminated and complimented the text in a marvelous manner, such as; "Man's future is even more obscure than his beginnings. To venture to sound either depth is to enter an unknown, perhaps unknowable, realm, but it is characteristic of man that he constantly attempts these journeys" (L. Eiseley). And the book is NOT just useful for reconstructing the past and how we have come to be - it's greatest value may well be in alerting and arming (alarming?) us for the future, for our breathtaking development has been much too far, too fast and made us way too arrogant and big for our own britches. We need to recognize and acknowledge ourselves for the absolutely amazing (please don't take offence at the word) mutants that we are and realize we have no special "control" over this world. We only think we do because we have become so extremely good, in an obscenely short period of time, at exploiting and manipulating it. Population control and environmentalism have EVERYTHING to do with the topic of this book. Nature is inexorable. We are not. And we are positioning ourselves to be flattened like a pancake - no, even worse, to flatten ourselves, if we don't watch out. Of all the astonishing accomplishments of man, the most amazing is the unprecedented ability and possibilities we have created (the first life form to do so in 3,000+ million years) of making ourselves extinct. And for all our "higher" intelligence, still keep looking dead-set on doing so. I started reading this book only because I am going to be doing the exact same rafting trip in September '99. I had hoped to get some insight into what to expect on the trip. And I did, but the "trip" is, indeed, metaphorical. Where does it start? What happens on the way? Where do (or could?) you end up? It was all in there alright, but I got a lot more than I expected. Thanks Bill.

                                          4 out of 5 stars Great science writing with a dose of ideology thrown in.......1997-04-18

                                          Calvin does science writing that is a pleasure to read. This account of floating the Grand Canyon on rubber rafts is all wrapped up in a wide sweep of natural history. My only criticism is his constant diversions to his own personal views on population control and environmentalism. He brings up these topics with all the fervor of a true religious believer, though they have little to do with the topic of the book. This is a strange diversion for a book which otherwise sticks close to a scientific outlook. Good scientists (like most of us) have a difficult time separating their own religious ideology from their science.
                                          Read it anyway. This book is a playground of stimulating ideas

                                                  Book Description

                                                  It’s 1954, and Perry Palmer and three friends approach their senior year at New Rose HS. There’s a notable absence of drugs, violence and random sex in this era, but everything isn’t dullsville. During the year Perry and pals pilfer golf flags and attempt to build their own course, engage in Hellnight and Mad Friday, prowl the local Lover’s Lane, and survive multiple sports mishaps.

                                                  In addition, a curvy French Exchange Student arrives. Soon Perry’s entangled in a hushed-up scandal involving Francoise and the devious principal. Should he risk losing a scholarship by squealing? All concludes riotously graduation night.
