Book Description

Here's some invaluable, hands-on guidance on a very touchy subject. Some people just can't take criticism. And some people just can't give it--not in a positive, motivating, mutually beneficial manner, anyway. That's too bad, because criticism is essential to many aspects of business, such as performance appraisals, quality control, and team functioning, to name a few.

This empowering book helps readers take the sting out of criticism--and transform it from a destructive, demoralizing disaster into an energizing, educating experience that builds relationships and increases individual and organizational success.

Using real-life scenarios and the author's 21 tips to positive criticism, readers will learn to: Think of criticism as a positive thing * Become strategic criticizers and develop their skill in using the power of positive criticism * Stay cool, calm, and collected when giving or getting criticism * Criticize their boss--without getting fired, and more.

Good Book.......2007-03-02

I liked this book; it provides helpful suggestions for dealing with criticism in mainly business environments. However, I found "Criticism Management" by Randy Garner to more effectively handle criticism situations in both work and home. Both books offer great insight; however Garner's text offers some great quotes, great learning tools, and a section that hit me personally---dealing with criticism at home.

A Good Read!.......2001-04-20

Hendrie Davis Weisinger is simple, clear and very focused as he applies recent "emotional intelligence" techniques to the specific area of criticism, and helps the reader think of criticism as a valuable, vital tool, and not just a necessary evil. The tips in this self-improvement book push the reader toward greater self-awareness, a major element of emotional intelligence. The suggestions are elemental, most of them are easy to implement and even the hardest ones to enact require only a modest time commitment. The book's message is consistent to the point of repetition, though its simple language gives it real power. We [...] recommend this book to anyone who gives or receives criticism, which is to say, everyone. In particular, if you are a manager, an executive and or supervisor who deals with difficult personalities, here's how to tell them what you need them to know.

A delightful commentary on how to take and give criticism........1999-10-31

Dr. Weisinger has done it again. He has taken an emotionally charged issue and, through anecdotes and plain speaking, made criticism something that one ought to embrace. I loved it, and immediately refered it to 49 of my closest friends, as well as my HR Director.

Book Description

Andrew Mishkin, a senior systems engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a leader of NASA's robotic program, delivers an insider's look at the Mars Pathfinder probe that electrified the world's imagination.

122 million miles away from her controllers, a sophisticated robot smaller than a microwave oven did what had never been done before-explore the rocky, red terrain of Mars. Then, six-wheeled Sojourner beamed spectacular pictures of her one-of-a-kind mission back to Earth. And millions of people were captivated.

Now, with the touch of an expert thriller writer, Sojourner operations team leader Andrew Mishkin tells the inside, human story of the Mars Pathfinder mission's feverish efforts to build a self-guided, offroading robot to explore the surface of the Red Planet. With witty, compelling anecdotes, he describes the clash of temperamental geniuses, the invention of a new work ethic, the turf wars, the chewing-gum solutions to high-tech problems, the controlled chaos behind the strangely beautiful creation of an artificial intelligence-and the exhilaration of inaugurating the next great age of space exploration.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing, spun, but well written........2006-04-02

On the good side, it is fairly well written. As a previous reviewer noted, however, the author makes much ado of the politics and conflict at JPL. In some chapters, it gets hard to read through the self-inflating undertone, but it seems fairly obvious that it is the author himself who is the cause of much of the conflict. And now that the era of "faster, better, cheaper" space disasters is behind us; it is clear that simple luck played a leading role in Pathfinder's success - a point the author somehow seems grieved to admit.

This may not be the book you think it to be.......2005-09-17

The details of the development of the first Mars rover was interesting and reasonably well done. I was somewhat distracted by the elaboration of JPL politics and personality conflicts. From this author's point of view, JPL sure sounds like an unpleasant place to work. I felt that the personality conflict part of the book was overemphasized and distracted from what a typical reader wants from a book about the Sojourner rover.

Excellent Book On Robotics.......2005-06-05

In Sojourner, Andrew Mishkin does an excellent job of presenting the success of the Pathfinder mission to Mars, as well as the challenges of getting there. The book gives a brief, but thorough, history of robotics at JPL starting with the lunar rovers and working its way up to the creation of Sojourner and its clone Marie Curie. Mishkin has a talent of presenting technical material in a way that is easy to read and understand, yet provides enough of the technical information to excite and inspire engineers-myself included. Anyone with even the slightest interest in engineering robotics will gain much knowledge from this book!

The book also provides insight into NASA's day-to-day operations during the mission. Explaining difficulties of scheduling shifts on Mars time, dealing with communications issues, and even correcting bugs in the system. Praise to Andrew Mishkin for this piece of history.

Sojourner a home run.......2005-02-20

I just finished Andrew Mishkin's booked titled "Sojourner" and I couldn't put it down. Mishkin, a Senior Systems Engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), helped to design, build and operate humanity's first operational MARS rover. The book starts back in the 1960's with a General Motors built rover which was meant for, but not flown on, the Lunar Surveyor missions of that decade. He explains how this machine became the basis for several JPL skunk-works created machines including the one that finally did the job in 1997. The book contains just enough technical information (both hardware and software) to be interesting but not so much as to lose the non-technical reader. There are two added chapters which cover the missions in 2001 and 2004.

Book Description

Polypropylene, The Definitive User's Guide and Databook presents in a single volume a panoramic and up-to-the-minute user's guide for today's most important thermoplastic. The book examines every aspect - science, technology, engineering, properties, design, processing, applications - of the continuing development and use of polypropylene. The unique treatment means that specialists can not only find what they want but for the first time can relate to and understand the needs and requirements of others in the product development chain. The entire work is underpinned by very extensive collections of property data that allow the reader to put the information to real industrial and commercial use.

Despite the preeminence and unrivaled versatility of polypropylene as a thermoplastic material to manufacture, relatively few books have been devoted to its study. Polypropylene, The Definitive User's Guide and Data book not only fills the gap, but breaks new ground in doing so.

Polypropylene is the most popular thermoplastic in use today, and still one of the fastest growing. Polypropylene, The Definitive User's Guide and Databook is the complete workbook and reference resource for all those who work with the material. Its comprehensive scope uniquely caters to polymer scientists, plastics engineers, processing technologists, product designers, machinery and mold makers, product managers, end users, researchers and students alike.

I made the Chicken and Sausage gumbo the other day, and WOW! and amazing mix of flavors. Gumbo is not as hard to cook as some people make it out to be.

Book Description

From the six-kid mom who slaps your hand when you reach for the butter, to the couple whose aim in life is to sell more dinosaur doo-doo, this is a book about laughter, and a part of what it is to be an American. The last person to see me in a bathing suit was a burglar, sneaking around the corner by my daughter's pool. We learned later he had cased the property and believed no one to be at home. That is just why I was there, hoping to take a dip while nobody could see me. He was as flabbergasted as I was, albeit, for a totally different reason. As I swung around and went screaming into the trees behind the house, losing myself completely for three hours in the adjacent acreage, a neighbor saw the robber running down the road with his hands in the air hollering, "I give up! I give up!" My wish is to bring some smiles into a sometimes bleak world. As the Bible says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."
