Book Description

In today's highly competitive business world, people are the critical - sometimes only - difference between success and failure. As technology evolves, businesses must train employees, clients, and even customers more quickly and more often. In this rapidly changing climate, almost anyone can be called upon to be a trainer. Some relish the role, but most view it with trepidation. The Professional Trainer provides both full-time trainers and those who train only occasionally with the tools and techniques needed to rise to the challenge. A basic primer covering the entire training process, the book can also be used as a troubleshooting guide, with chapters on how to determine what skills and knowledge to include in a training program and the development of on-the-job lesson plans, checklists for progress evaluation, and information on when and how to use media support, and tools for making the learning process effective and attractive.

Book Description

A leading astronomer proves that India had a thriving civilization capable of sophisticated astronomy long before Greece, Egypt, or any other world culture.

• Provides conclusive evidence that the Rig Veda is 12,000 years old.

• Establishes actual dates and places for many of the events in the Hindu epics.

For more than a century scholars have debated the antiquity of the Vedas and their related literature, the Brahmanas and Puranas. Relying upon a host of assumptions from linguistic theory, anthropology, and archaeology, they have agreed upon 1500 b.c. as the earliest possible date for the Rig Veda, itself the oldest extant example of Indo-European literature. But in this groundbreaking book, astronomer B. G. Sidharth proves conclusively that the earliest portions of the Rig Veda can be dated as far back as 10,000 b.c.

By deciphering the astronomical events and alignments contained in mythical and symbolic form in these ancient texts, Sidharth calls into question many if not all of the assumptions governing Indo-European prehistory. He explores such subjects as the astronomical significance of many Hindu deities and myths, the system of lunar asterisms used to mark time, the identity of the Asvins, and the sophisticated calendar of the ancients that harmonized solar and lunar cycles. Sidharth provides incontrovertible evidence that such "advanced" astronomical concepts as precession, heliocentrism, and the eclipse cycle are encoded in these ancient texts, passages of which make perfect sense only if these astronomical keys are known. Based on internal evidence in the Mahabharata and Ramayana, he also becomes the first to establish likely dates--and even places--for the events described in these famous epics. The Celestial Key to the Vedas is sure to astonish anyone concerned with astronomy, India, or the roots of civilization.

I'm no astronomer but I see validity.......2001-06-18

I'm not an astronomer and can't validate Sidharth's assumptions but if taken that his assumptions are, in fact, true, then Sidharth continues to provide lucid examples of astronomical examples in the Rig Veda. Sidharth, also refers to archaelogical examples of the spread of Vedic culture to countries like Turkey, and Iran. Sidharth gives very clear cut examples of the dates that astronomical occurences in the Rig Veda mention. Though the date of 10,000 B.C. (or prior) for the Rig Veda may seem preposterous to many scholars, it is a date that is being seriously considered as an accurate date by many scholars, including Western scholars. In my opinion, this book is worth reading for anyone interested in ancient history, astronomy, and archaeology.

lot of misinterpretations with an occassional good thought.......2000-08-19

The originality of the sciences and philosophy of the Indians is fiercely denied by all mainstream Western academics. They have made it a point to browbeat the Indians and force upon them the Greek origins of Indian science. These academics provide no clear reasons for the reverse path of transfer or descent from a common ancestor not applying. In this direction Siddharth takes the right step of defending and furthering the Indian view point. He rightly points to many important developments being present in Indian astronomy. However, beyond this he weakens his case by exagerration in the opposite direction. Unreasonably early dates for the R^ig veda and rAmAyana are amidsts these key faults. He also wrongly identifies the Ashvins as being Planets Mercury and Venus. However, he does have one good point- the mahAbhArata cannot be earlier than 1500 BC. By this he thankfully rejects the ridiculous claims for an earlier date that is championed by Rajaram without any basis.

A comprehensive book.......2000-07-20

This book is comprehensive and comprehensible. Since I was doing my undergraduate studies I enjoyed Christian's Analytical Chemistry, it's a learning book with both: essential information and enough detail. Now, in the 5th edition, it has some new techniques and basic references for almost all the analytical methods in chemistry, and continues providing an overview of the techniques and equipment involved in analytical chemistry. Its explanations are useful and concise, mainly to be used as a text book for an analytical chemistry course.

Book Description

We aren't very strong, nor very fast, we have insufficient body hair to keep us warm and dry, and we will never eat bananas with our feet. But like our chimpanzee cousins, we, the naked apes, have evolved to flourish in our surroundings--a cultural environment largely of our own creation. For the human race, the critical evolution of the past million years has been the evolution of our minds.

Yet psychology, the very science that purports to understand us, has long been deeply ambivalent about Darwin's unsettling discoveries. In an accessible, level-headed overview, Henry Plotkin describes the new rapprochement called 'evolutionary psychology.' He examines how such a powerful theory as Darwinism could have been disregarded by much academic psychology and shows why the relationship between the two must be readdressed. The theory and data of evolutionary biology and animal behavior can illuminate many of our most basic mental processes and activities: language learning, perception, social understanding, and most controversially, culture and the sharing of knowledge and beliefs.

Ranging from the nature-nurture question, which has bedeviled philosophers and scientists for thousands of years, to recent debates about the mind's structure, Evolution in Mind vividly demonstrates how an evolutionary perspective helps us understand what we are, and how we got that way.

Customer Reviews:

Intellectually challenging--not for wimps or softies!.......1999-08-04

This stimulating and intellectually challenging book is not for everyone, and in particular not for those who are looking for entertaining anecdotes and an effortless read. Plotkin himself is a true scholar who reads widely and with a profound understanding. He knows which pieces are relevant to the puzzles he is solving, and he lets you look over his shoulder as he puts all the pieces together. Give him a C+ for entertainment, if you must, but give him an A for enlightenment.

A rare balanced critical review of a complex new field.......1999-04-20

Psychology is a discipline that has always struggled to convince the `hard' sciences that it is actually a member of the same club. It has taken many years of emphasis on precise methodology, careful statistics, multiple replications - and the exacting application of the Popperian principles of falsification and the hypothetico-deductive method - to make its point. Finally, and perhaps with some residual reluctance, psychology has (mostly) been admitted to the science club.

However, this hard-gained reputation is at risk. Evolutionary psychology is the latest application of the compelling logic of Darwinism to a new field. Writers and researchers such as Pinker, Dawkins and Buss put forward an unending stream of theorising, some interesting, some frankly `so what'. But is it science?

Scientific method post-Popper depends significantly upon the principle of falsification. Many books explain the principle, but in essence, the predictions derived from hypotheses must be subject not only to confirmation but also to disproof.

Unfortunately, a look through the available textbooks in evolutionary psychology reveals scant emphasis on methodology, and a generally uncritical approach to their own findings. Buss's `Evolutionary Psychology' in particular is an example; there is a chapter on methodology, but little consideration of how theoretical predictions in evolutionary psychology might be falsified. Perhaps you, dear reader, would like to ponder how this could be done?

Plotkin's excellent short review introduces most areas of evolutionary psychology in a critical light. As such, it serves as a useful counterbalance to the enthusiastic but uncritical approach of many books in this field. Plotkin is very familiar with evolutionary psychology, and makes clear his view that sociobiology has proved its point in animal studies. The jury is still out on the application of the theories to humans. There are other formidable critics of sociobiology, such as Lewontin and Rose, but only Plotkin has the psychological background to directly address evolutionary psychology.

A very good book. Buy it. If you are a student of evolutionary psychology and need a balanced view, definitely buy it. There's nothing else.

A poor exposition of evolutionary psychology........1998-05-07

Evolutionary psychology has thus far been lucky to have exponents who are both comfortable and competent with current evolutionary theory (Daly & Wilson, Tooby & Cosmides, Buss, and Barkow). It was only a question of time until everyone started jumping on the bandwagon. Plotkin belongs to the 'yes, but' school of evolution. Yes, humans are the product of evolutionary forces, yes we are biological organisms and must obey biological principles but we are also super-wonderful, extra- special organisms. We have unique magical powers like intelligence, awareness and culture that other animals do not posses. This not only glorifies the abilities of humans but completely trivializes the wonder and magnificence of the rest of the kingdom Animalia. Plotkin has a very impressive command of the history of both biology and psychology. But that's about it. His attacks on sociobiology are both tired and pedestrian, revealing shallow insight. Then, he goes on to launch feeble assaults upon some of the most impressive empirical work of current evolutionary psychologists (Buss, Daly & Wilson) for the same trite reasons. Lastly, he tries to find a 'middle way'. This 'middle way' consists of fancifully picking and choosing from the findings of modern biology in a flimsy attempt to maintain a position for humans at the pinnacle of some mythical evolutionary ladder. Plotkin has betrayed evolutionary psychology with the title of his work and is bound to mislead the public about what evolutionary psychology really is. Evolutionary psychologists believe that Darwinian principles can and should be applied to the study of the human mind, an agenda Plotkin only halfheartedly endorses. Even the bibliography is tragically wanting. Readers are referred to Barkow, Tooby & Cosmides masterly work, The Adapted Mind, anything else by them, or by Buss or Daly & Wilson.

Book Description

Most recent publications on spin-related phenomena focus on technological aspects of spin-dependent transport, with emphasis on the specific needs of spintronics. The present publication targets rather fundamental problems related to the physics of spin in solids, such as: (1) manifestation of spin and orbital polarization in spectroscopy, including valence and X-ray photoemission, magneto-optics, low-energy electron scattering on the surface; (2) application of new methods for interpretation and determination of magnetic low-lying excitations in the bulk and on the surface; (3) recent progress in evaluation of different type of magnetic forces including spin-orbit and exchange interaction, with subsequent determination of anisotropy and spin-ordering structure; (4) general problems of spin-dependent transport in semiconductors and metals, such as current-caused torque effect on spins at interfaces and spin injection in quantum dot systems; (5) problems in understanding the spin-dependent trends in unconventional superconductors; (6) many-body problems in solid state physics and recent progress in evaluation of self-energy effects; (7) fabrication of new magnetic materials with pre-programmed properties based on assembly from nano-particles, etc.

Awesome.......2005-12-02

This book is great especially for fathers and husbands. I think not only men should read this but also women. Bishop Jakes has done it again. Truly awesome. After reading it myself I went back and bought one for my brothers, sons, ex and friend.

Overpriced basic advice.......2001-07-27

I read this not too long ago. Here's the message of this book in a nutshell-If you're messing up, leave the devil alone and go to God. THERE! Now you can save your money and let the Right Reverend Deacon Dr. Bishop [...], OOPS! I mean Jakes, look elsewhere for desperate people without common sense to help pay for his cadillacs!

Wonderful... Wonderful... Thank God.......1999-12-28

From a woman's point of view I know that every man needs to read this book. Allow God to be first in your life. Love yourself enough to know that you can't do it alone. God is the only one who can heal the pain of the past and allow you to live today. God is good. Finally, the truth has been told. Get God and Get Ready.

An inspiration to and for REAL men........1999-02-05

I shared this book with a couple of friends this past Christmas. It was my way of spreading the Gospel and telling them that it does pay to serve a true living God. Before giving it as a gift, I read it and it said all the things women want men to know about who they should be as men in Christ. The one message that resonates is that you must be in the place where your blessings are to receive them. God is waiting on men to come to that place, the blessing is already there. Bless Bishop Jakes for that insight.

T.D. Jakes displays his ability to let God use him again!.......1998-12-22

"So You Call Yourself a Man," is a wonderful example of Bishop T.D. Jakes ability to allow himself to be used by God to bring a powerful, healing message to men who are suffering for lack of an intimate relationship with the Lord God Almighty! The reader will be challenged to develop a marriage like with relationship with the Lord in order to free themselves from the troubles of this world.

Book Description

The acclaimed national bestselling author of such smart, sexy novels as The Preacher's Son and Player Haters returns with a tale of three best friends who've grown from boys to men together. But now that they're each either married or about to be, they're coming up against some of the real tests of manhood… James Robinson and his wife, Cathy, have had their rough patches. But seven years into their marriage, things are better, and hotter, than ever—until the not-so-distant past catches up with James. During a particularly rocky period, James hooked up with a woman on his UPS route, and he wasn't just delivering packages. Now, three years later, the fling has come back to haunt him—with a baby in tow. James has to decide whether to tell his wife, or keep the affair a secret and give in to his ex-mistress's outrageous child support demands. The choice might not be so tough if he wasn't falling in love—with his newfound son.

Meanwhile, James's best friend, Brent Williams, has got his own romantic complications. He's a fine brother who's had women throwing themselves at him all his life, but it's taken Brent a while to find someone who wants him for the man he is on the inside. He thinks he's found her in his fiancée, Alison Jones. The plus-size beauty isn't his usual type, but more important to Brent, she's a born-again Christian, like him. They seem like a match made in heaven until a sexy third party threatens to come between them—someone Brent has been praying to resist.

Ever since he got married and moved to Seattle, Sonny Harrison has missed his friends in New York. But that's going to change now that James has pulled some strings and gotten him a job at UPS. There's just one problem—Sonny's wife. When Sonny tells her the good news, she promptly sends him packing. Sonny's heartbroken—until he reunites with his high school sweetheart, Tiffany. But his quick devotion soon turns suffocating—and scary. Tiffany wants out, but the harder she tries to end things, the harder Sonny hangs on. As his behavior becomes more and more obsessive, Brent and James may be the only ones who can intervene. But will helping Tiffany mean losing their friend forever?

So you can yourself a man!! This is an extraordinary book with the potential to equip and eddify even the lacking man of his position in which God created him.

It brings man to a position of acknowledging his true identity and the tools to furnish his ability to execute the man he should be. T D. Jakes was truly inspired by the Holy Spirit to reveal dynamic ways of functioning as a man of God. He brought titles such as Walking In Whose Likeness, and also Relying On God To Reveal Your True Identity. Those two topics are two of the most profitable instructions from the Holy Spirit to bring about a marked change in man's development. All male readers should order this book today and be instructed on your manhood in Christ.
