          3 out of 5 stars Good book, however exercises results don't match guides.......1998-02-27

          As a college professor I use this book to teach Peachtree Accounting Ver 3.5 for Windows. Glencoe has a good product that could be alot better. Student results often don't match the instructor guides, and math errors abound throughout the book. Preimer Fitness Club, the sample firm, Chart of Account requires category modifications that the text does not cover. As a result the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Profit and Loss Summaries don't come out correctly until you figure out what's wrong. Informing Glencoe has yet to result in any improvements in the text. The text does a poor job in instructing students how to load a sample company, restore data, and proper backup to a floppy disk.

                Book Description

                A brief version of Effective Human Relations, this text incorporates Reece/Brandt's innovative Total Person approach to the field—addressing interdependent personal traits in relation to workplace behavior. The authors offer a holistic perspective on how improved physical fitness, self-awareness, integrity, emotional control and other factors may positively impact employees at work. While much of the material comes from the comprehensive text, Reece and Brandt have carefully edited this textbook to focus on the immediate, personal application of human relations principles and practices.

                4 out of 5 stars A Good Text on People Skills & Relationship Building!.......2001-04-04

                A very useful reference text for understanding people skills and relationships in your workplace and at home! The coverage is fairly extensive at an introductory level. It covers the key topics of inter-personal communication, self-esteem, values, ethical choices, attitudes, professionalism, diversity, managing conflict and emotional control. Key concepts like worker behaviour and how they are influenced are explained in relatively easy to understand manner. It also covers briefly topics like trust and self-disclosure. A must read for those who are in industries and work that requires dealing with people! Even the 'house-person' will find some ideas applicable to their situation and circumstances. The book is applicable globally though illustrations may be American, I am confident, others experience similar situations in their respective countries.

                    Book Description

                    Professor Theo van Boven has made his mark in the field of human rights by writing a vast number of scholarly articles, reports, studies, congress papers and the like, covering many topics. Most of his work has been published in law journals, textbooks, Festschrifts and other sources. Since not all of these publications are easily accessible, it is the purpose of this anthology to bring together a selection of his writings from 1966 to 1998. The editors have focused on those subjects that played a major part during Theo van Boven's career and that are, in their view, the most interesting to the reader. That is why this volume contains papers on such issues as the United Nations and its role as regards human rights, racial discrimination, the right to rehabilitation, the international criminal tribunals, the role of NGOs and many more. The papers have been arranged in different groups under general headings. Within each group, articles dealing with the same subject have been put in chronological order. A detailed bibliography, covering most of Theo van Boven's publications, is included in this book as an annex.

                    5 out of 5 stars "Theo Van Boven" The PRINCE of Human Rights Education.......2001-01-09

                    I have heard 'Theo Van Bovan' at the International Institute of Human Rights at Strasbourg. An Anthology from his work was much awaited. This book will be of great help to Academicians, Research Scholars, Human Rights Activists and even to United Nations Human Rights Commission. A cheaper edition of this book should be made available so that people from Developing Countries can benifit from this work.

                          "In presenting this book to students of personnel management, we have attempted to outline the principles of personnel adjustment in industry as they are known today, with no claim that we are covering the entire field of industrial relations and with no thought that the truths which we enunciate will not grow and develop year by year with the investigation and research which industry is coming more and more to devote to this branch of the science of management. Our purpose is to crystallize modern thought on the subject of human adjustments in industry, both as an expression of what has been achieved so far and as a basis for further growth."

                                  How can we characterise law and legal theory in the 21st century? This book argues that we live in an age 'after Modernity' and that legal theory must take account of this fact. This work attacks, as outdated, theories of law which rest on widespread notions of law's autonomy and systematic nature and on certain notions of justice, personhood and legitimacy and seeks to replace them with a dynamic new account of law and laws appropriate for an era of Globalization and postnational communities. The approach is fresh, contextual and interdisciplinary, and, unusually for a legal theory work, illustrated throughout with works of art and visual representations, which serve to enforce the messages of the book.

                                    "Grasshoff presents a detailed study of the catalog starting with its history and then details the various controversies over the catalog from Tycho through Dreyer and R.R. Newton. His analysis considers such questions as precession and solar theory, the methods of observations, and the internal errors of the catalog. The author concludes that Hipparchus' observations were incorporated into the Ptolemaic catalog but that Ptolemy, in the absence of any understanding of how to treat errors of observation, selected from a variety of observations those that best fit his theory. Charts of all the Ptolemaic stars and a catalog of their modern identifications are given." -Choice

                                    "The author's purpose is to lay to rest an argument which has blazed for several centuries, the question at issue being this: did or did not Ptolemy plagiarize (from Hipparchus) some of his data, and fabricate some of rest? The author begins with a detailed review of the history of the argument, turns then to a close examination of the data itself, and concludes that the charges which have been brought against Ptolemy are rooted in anachronism and in misunderstanding of his scientific objectives. One of several appendices provides modern identifications of the stars which appear on Ptolemy's list. Very carefully argued and produced, with detailed references, many figures. Sensible, useful...but quite unlikely to achieve its objective." -Book News

                                          “Today is New Year’s Day, the first day of the new millennium and I have a flight to catch. I have volunteered to spend a month in the Galapagos helping scientists study volcanoes. They flew on the same flight last year, the DAY of the great Y2K meltdown panic. To fly on a South American airline on that day would seem to tempt fate, even for a volcanologist...”

                                          Darwin Country spans literary styles of adventure travel, nature and satire. In the grip of a mid-life crisis, the author voyages from a world where Hollywood stars live in “environmental black holes” on private beaches to one where endangered wildlife shows no fear of man.

                                          The Galapagos once again become the epicenter for a clash of beliefs. Frank’s search catapults him from the cult religions of his California youth to the edge of science. Not for the faint of heart searching for a “page turner,” Darwin Country is full of biting commentary and humor, a physical and philosophical roller coaster.

                                          Darwin sailed to the Galapagos in search of answers, and found a few, but left some niggling questions as well. Frank re-traces his steps to pick up the trail...

                                          I want to like this book, because the premise is humorous and so is the writing. However, I gave up on page 33. Maybe it's just me, but if the author doesn't care enough to check spelling, capitalization and punctuation, I feel like I'm being abused. It seems this book was dictated to a machine, because the spelling errors are due to homonyms: "are" for "our", "where" for "wear", "it's" for "its", "bazaar" for "bizarre". There is something wrong every couple of pages. If you can get past the defects, I think this might be worth reading, but I just kept getting annoyed.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Laughing all the way.......2003-04-06

                                          Darwin Country is a provacative and hilarious midlife search for meaning. It probes some colorful nooks and crannies of the author's privileged Santa Barbara life-style, while examining philosophical and environmental isssues which affect Ecuadorian peasants a world away. Scientists, movie stars, environmentalists, New Age hipsters, bellydancers, wealthy Santa Barbara elite all make appearances in this thought-provoking tale, which prompts us to examine basic ethical assumptions - while laughing all the way.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Darwin's Country.......2003-03-23

                                          Darwin's Country is a highly entertaining extreemly witty philosophical voyage through some of life's vexing questions; from true meaning to a captious look at the growth movements in California. The renowned Galapagos islands and the affluent-protected Santa Barbara provide a backdrop for incisive looks into the often muddled conservation movement and the search for meaning in a shifting universe. Personal, wry, witty and entertaining.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Truely one of the Greatest Men to ever live.......2007-08-18

                                            This is one of the best books ever written. It transports you into the life of one of the greatest men to ever live. Although the book is fairly long and can be difficult to read, the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti is such a fascinating tale that you will never tire of this book. The reader will empathize with Michelangelo's passion for sculpting and the pain of his servitude for various popes and kings. Please forgive the cliche, but this book is "a must read". It is a necessity for as many people as possible to know the life of the man who is responsible for some of the most breathtaking pieces of art in existence.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Fascinating Life of the Artist.......2007-07-05

                                            Irving Stone does an amazing job bringing the Renaissance genius Michelangelo to life. His narrative masterfully weaves in realistic dialogue and anecdotes with meticulously researched historical facts. The result leaves the reader with a much deeper appreciation for the artist's impressive legacy including the Pieta, David, the Sistine Ceiling, and St. Peter's. The stories behind their creation are as interesting as Michelangelo's unique personality. His single minded dedication to his work was sometimes his worst enemy, often leading to unnecessary conflicts with his fickle patrons and ungrateful family.

                                            The tumultuous backdrop of Italy in the Quatrocento and Cinquecento also provides for very interesting and informative insights into the politics and religion of the era, highlighted by Savonarola and the Warrior and Medici Popes.

                                            For readers interested in learning more about Renaissance artists, Giorgio Vasari's contemporary biographies in his masterpiece "Lives of the Artists" comes highly recommended. Irving Stone successfully incorporates several of Vasari's anecdotes in this work.

                                            3 out of 5 stars More agony than ecstasy.......2007-06-19

                                            Irving Stone's epic "biographical novel of Michelangelo" covers the majority of his life (75 years) from age 13 to his death a few weeks shy of his 89th birthday. Sculptor, painter, poet, architect...dissector (one of the more unconventional sections - from page 210), Michelangelo was a man of many talents and few loves besides his primary obsession: sculpture. The book is unarguably well written, but would read better condensed to maybe half of its whopping 750-page length. The use of "sculpture" versus the shortened and more modern "sculpt" as a verb, although grammatically correct, is awkward and the one love scene (page 266) was better left out than in, reading like something straight out of a Harlequin romance novel and adding nothing to the otherwise, mostly romance-free story. Additionally, the inclusion of photos of his works would have improved the reading experience immensely. Stone's comprehensive story, colossal in length as well as scope, is not for the historically or artistically challenged (like this reader) and would probably be better appreciated by those familiar with Italian. Mandatory companion read: Michelangelo, Painter, Sculptor and Architect, with the restored frescoes of the Sistine Chapel (English Version) published by A.T.S. Italia, Rome; better reading: The Second Mrs. Gioconda by E.L. Konigsburg [Da Vinci], lighter: Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier [Vermeer].

                                            A truly amazing book that kept me reading hungrilly with every page. Stone captivates the reader with this incredible and inspirational lifestory of Michelangelo, revealing the life events of a man driven with passion. This book has helped me understand myself as an artist, Christian, and human being. I highly recommend this book to any reader, my only regret being that I didn't read it sooner!

                                            3 out of 5 stars Florence, thy name is Michelangelo.......2007-04-27

                                            After spending 3 weeks with Michelangelo, I was really relieved to be finished with this book. Although it was a very enjoyable piece of art history, it often times got bogged down with politics. Stone's incredible detail of Michelangelo's art, the political upheaval in Florence and Rome, and the Vatican's role in his life really made me feel 16th century Italy, but by the end, Stone seemed to rush through the last 2 decades of Michelangelo's life.

                                            The first quarter of the book and the beginning of Michelangelo's career under Lorenzo Medici was a true gem. Michelangelo's self-discovery, love of sculpture, and love of Lorenzo's daughter Contessina felt youthful and fresh, especially his discovery of human anatomy and the scenes of dissection. However, the political intrigue and the battles with the Church in a post-Lorenzo world were cumbersome.

                                            I still highly recommend this book as a great story about Michelangelo as it enhanced my appreciation for his work. Just be prepared to spend a good deal of time trudging through this lengthy tome.
