Book Description

There is a glut of human resources books aimed at large companies. But "Managing Human Resources in Small and Mid-Sized Companies" remains the only book to address the unique challenges confronting organizations in the 100 to 1,500 employee range. And it is now completely updated to reflect current legal requirements, compensation trends, advances in information management, and much more. This comprehensive, clearly written guide shows readers how to: * set up or expand a human resources department * recruit, interview, select, and orient new employees * establish compensation, benefits, and performance appraisal programs

A pragmatic publication for HR practitioners........1999-03-02

This book provides a how-to guide explaining all basic human resources functions and administrative processes. It is geared to companies in the 100 to 1,500 employee range, but professionals in larger and smaller firm should find this pragmatic publication a good addition to their bookshelf. Sample forms and communications are included. While subjects such as broadbanding, flextime and variable pay are not treated in depth, this is a straight forward, practical work that HR practitioners will find valuable.

Book Description

Al-Kimia - The Mystical Islamic Essence of the Sacred Art Of Alchemy by John Eberly presents a condensed history of Alchemy told through concise biographies of early Sufi Masters. Chapters examine occult areas of alchemical and spiritual interest such as jafr, an exegetical Qur'anic science akin to Hebrew Qabala; the Qiyamat or 'Great Resurrection', of the heretical Ismaili sect; the contrary path of the saintly Malamatiyya or 'blameworthy ones'; Hermetic color theory, and 'hidden' art history. A glossary of transliterated terms is appended that will greatly help the beginner as well as the advanced student of these subjects.

Customer Reviews:

Golden.......2004-11-09

Responding to the ignorance too common in the United States, Eberly excavates the extravagant beauty of the sacred art of transformation. Alchemy, he explains, "accelerates the natural evolutionary process in order to accomplish, the spirtualization of matter and the materialization of the Holy Spirit." Al-Kimia is a golden read. Highly recommended.

Book Description

With his characteristic investigative eye and Menckenesque prose, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. sheds new light on Bill Clinton's post-presidential emotional depression, globe trotting and international deal-making, financial ties to China and the United Arab Emirates, ongoing womanizing, vital support role in Hillary Clinton's anticipated run for the White House, and possible role as America's first "First Man."

Customer Reviews:

Tyrell: American Sphincter.......2007-09-19

Moron Tyrell is yet another wingnut who can't accept that Clinton is gone. They must all have a secret yearning for Hillary in '08 to make their pathetic lives seem worthwhile. Maybe they're all in denial after seven years of G. W. Dumbass and the weekly scandals of his crooks and cronies.

Clinton Crackup.......2007-09-19

While I hated to see Clinton move into the presidency, and, of course, hated his actions even more following Lewinsky, it's a wonder that we still have a country at all. I most certainly would not buy anything that might give him (or her, for that matter) any type of grace, and only scanned the pages at a local bookstore. That was quite enough for me, thank you very much. Now, unfortunately, it looks as though Miseries Clinton might be our next president. Hold onto your wallets, people!

Well done - Emmett needs a thesaurus though.......2007-09-07

No secret that Tyrrell does not like the Clintons. Somehow, those supporting Clinton have a big problem with a book like this and have NO problem with books claiming Bush knew about 9/11, Bush is in tight with the Saudis, etc.

If nothing else, this book is VERY thorough. There were times when I was reading it that I thought "How did the editor let THAT stay in the book?"

Tyrrell has a habit of writing to an MBA level. Which I guess is ok but there are those of us who, while having a complete control of the English language, we don't feel the need to try to impress people with it.

So many times, I read this thinking the author could have used a different word to mean the same thing and not come across as high-brow. Bill Buckley can get away with - he's about the only one.

Bottom line - the book is solid reading, powerful, and damning to Bill and Hillary.

Too Much of the Clintons is Never Enough.......2007-08-30

Sure, the title is hyperbolic, the writing has little of that flinty incisiveness of muckrakers like Tarbell and Sinclair, a good deal of the material is old news, the editing could have been better, but, oh, what fun! For political junkies like me, Our Bill and his lovely Life Partner are simply the gifts that keep on giving. As the wide diversity and vigor of reviewers' reactions demonstrate, love 'em or hate 'em, they are simply fascinating.

Now, one can't expect the shenanigans of Post-Prez Bill to be as interesting as his time in the Oval Office if only because, for instance, there has bobbed to the surface no stained women's clothing--yet. Nonetheless, the mind reels and the spirit soars as Tyrrell not only revisits the low crimes and misde-wieners of the Clintons' time in the Arkansas governor's mansion and the White House, but takes us on a poignant tour of Our Bill's meanderings in the real world, i.e., the world where his only power derives from political suasion and the relentless pursuit of greater wealth. If nothing else, Tyrrell's listing of the President's last-minute pardons and commutations, complete with the crimes committed by those receiving those astonishing absolutions, is worth the price of admission. No one, least of all Bill himself, has ever explained or rationalized how these low-lives deserved legal reclamation, justifying the inevitable conclusion of critics then and now that they were exchanged for past, present, or future consideration, much of it brokered by the Clinton and Rodham siblings.

And then there's Hillary. Just as I conclude my reading, what breaks but another campaign contribution imbroglio involving The Hill. Turns out that Norman Hsu, one of the Mrs.'s large contributors for the last several years, is a wanted fugitive from California justice and is somehow related to the Paw family of Daly City, several members of whom have made contributions coincident with those of Mr. Hsu which may or may not have been illegally funded by the latter. Mr. Paw, also Chinese, is a mail carrier, and yet the family has somehow found 45 G's to give to The Hill. The eyes tear and the throat constricts with mirth as one of the Paw family members turns out to be named Winkle. (Does the Supreme Being stay up at night devising names for those involved in Clinton scandals, you know the rich Marc Rich, et al? Does Winkle have siblings named Blinkle and Nod? But I digress.)

Astute readers will recall that Our Bill had some problems with Chinese contributors during his reign. One might have thought that those painful experiences would have convinced the Clintons they should limit their Chinese contacts to calling for take-out, but I guess not.

I'm not saying your life won't be complete if you don't read this book, but I found it a very enjoyable meander through these troubled lives. Think of it as a between-meal snack as we await The Hill's nomination for the presidency. Then it can serve as a reference point for the inevitable--and entirely justified--dredging up of the Clinton scandals by the Hillary Haters. Pray with me to the political gods that all this comes to pass: it will be a great 2008!

The Clinton Crackup.......2007-08-23

I have read the book. Tyrell is a gifted writer who records the continuing docu-drama of Bill Clinton's life. Coming away from this book there is the sense of flawed personality aspects outweighing good ones. I,too, wonder why people continue to find Clinton viable, attractive and charming. He is much to be pitied. Are Bill and Hillary a sign of the times - the narcissistic epitome of anything goes?

What Bill does fascinates us all - some love him, some don't. He "is" a national security leak and the continuing saga confirms it. One thing the book makes clear - if you set your sights on a particular goal and then
work towards it you will achieve it. Bill and Hillary had been working a long time to achieve their ambition. Though he did not win by a majority, other forces helped in the achievement of Bill's amibition.

These 2 people are very focused individuals. The truth of their lives is appallingly clear. If we are a product of our times, what does that say
about the kind of people we elect to high office. And how did we get to this cultural state of affairs.

Book Description

Lisa Lennox's debut novel transports us to the heart of the crack era - The South Bronx, New York, 1989.

In the late `80s and early `90s, the crack epidemic swept through inner city communities like the plague. Mothers abandoned their children and took to the street for a hit. Fathers sold everything they owned to get a taste. The crackhead was rampant. Some neighborhoods were never the same.

Enter Laci Johnson, a privileged, smart, beautiful teenage girl from across town, who teams up with The South Bronx Bitches - an infamous girl group known for chasing men and money. When the SBB becomes envious of Laci they devise a plan to destroy her life.

Finding love in the most unexpected of places, Laci turns to a local drug dealer to help save her and heal the wounds of her new addiction.

It was just alright for me!.......2007-08-02

This story was o.k but I wished the author would have devolped her charcters a little more and put a little more passion into this novel. This book could not compare to White lines if you want to read a real Crack Head story with major character development I suggest you pick that one up.

HATERS!.......2007-07-13

LOVED IT. Though i wasnt surpried at how good da book was!! But go n buy it and see 4 ya self

A compelling story..........2007-07-09

Lisa Lennox's Crack Head was a very compelling story about a young lady named Laci who just wanted to fit in with the "in" crowd. Because of jealousy, however, Laci was put into grave danger by her so-called friends in the South Bronx Bitch (SBB) club.

Read It In 1 Day!!!.......2007-06-14

I read this book in one day, actually in a matter of hours it was a pretty good book for a debut novel although I expected more out of the story and not only that this book had so many typos it was rediculous and it made reading this book quite difficult. All the characters were unique and I believe every one got what they deserved in the end!!

LOVVVED this book.......2007-05-15

I really liked this book. It sucks to have jealous girls that will do stuff to you that is just so horrible and it sucks even more to want to fit in so bad that you are easily influenced. I want my daughter to read this book when she is older because this just goes to show you cant trust anyone. BE HAPPY with yourself so that you are not a victim. PEACE and LOVE.
