Book Description

Codependency is an important psychological aspect of the workplace that adversely affects both those who experience codependency and those who are the subject of the codependent's compelling agenda of interpersonal control. In this important book, Seth Allcorn explores codependency in the workplace beginning with its origins in the family. Many new insights are provided about the characteristic self-defeating and paradoxical patterns of thinking, feeling, and action that also impoverish those who work with the codependent. The author develops important new theoretical perspectives and models of codependency by drawing upon psychoanalytic theory. The three faces of codependency are described for the first time and a sophisticated psychodynamic model of the psychological gridlock of codependency explains the codependent's self-defeating and interpersonally destructive agenda of control. Allcorn concludes his book with ideas about how managers can deal more effectively with the presence of codependency in their organization. The author begins by defining codependency and uses a model to explain how it arises in pathological families of origin. He then describes three faces of codependency and relates them to fourteen common behavior attributes and the workplace. Allcorn explores how this disorder manifests itself in different genders and situations, outlines a learning model and a Family Pathology Matrix, and shows how different pairings of parental behavior contribute to the development of the three faces of codependency. The difficulties which codependency introduces into the workplace is a primary focus, and the book concludes with a search for solutions within the organizational culture that may alleviate the need for codependent defenses and lead to one-on-one interventions at work. This book will be of interest to employee assistance staff, training personnel, counselors and therapists, consultants, and students of the psychodynamics of organizational life.

Book Description

What is meant by the term "rational legal argument"? To what extent can legal theory permit legal reasoning to be rational? Is the demand for rationality in legal affairs justified? What are the criteria for rationality? In addressing these questions, Alexy first develops a general theory
of practical discourse based on insights from Anglo-Saxon and German moral and legal philosophy. He then sets out a new theory of rational legal discourse, which will stand as a major contribution to the study of legal reasoning.

Who uses Technetium?.......2004-08-05

Tc is fairly rare. Few chemists or physicists have occasion to encounter it in their daily work. But Schwochau shows us what practical applications it has. It happens to be the lightest radioactive element. Which means that amongst all the radioactives, it is the most abundant, and available in macroscopic quantities of kilograms.

Not surprisingly, the book shows how it has manifold applications that use its radioactive nature. Mostly in pharmaceutical contexts, as tracers. Its very wide range of oxidation states from -1 to 7, means that it can be flexibly used in many compounds.

The book's appeal is admittedly specialised. But amongst those of your who might have to deal with Tc, it may be a very good reference.

Book Description

This work, written for a wide audience and general readers, details the chaos produced in the physics community at the beginning of the 20th century by groundbreaking experimental findings and the theoretical speculations they engendered. It traces the slow and difficult birth of a new
scientific order that resulted from the work of many of this century's most distinguished scientists, including Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr. Comparable in its impact to the scientific upheavals initiated by Galileo and Newton in the 17th century, and to the advent
of Darwin's theory of evolution, this emerging science--based on newly developed experimental techniques--exposed the flaws in the well-established and cherished view of the world as described by classical physics. In telling this story, the author describes the essential features of quantum
physics, what sets it apart from the classical view of the mechanical universe, and how the new science has led to unprecedented advances in understanding the essence of matter and the forces of nature. As a special feature, the author has presented mathematical details in separate boxed sections
where they can be studied by readers interested in deeper insight, or skipped without interruption to the flow of the narrative. The book is thus accessible to nonscientist general readers who will find it an ideal guide to the breathtaking discoveries of modern science that have so profoundly
altered our perceptions of the material world.

The Story of Modern physics.......2001-07-23

This is a very fine book for those who want to read about the step by step development of the Modern concepts in Physics, Relativity and Quantum Theory. Author in a descriptive way describes the concepts proposed by individuals how and where they failed and therfore the results that we know today. Although a general knowledge of Physics is required, hard mathematics is not required. For those interested a littel more about formalism, author has what he calls "Amplification" windows.Author takes us from Classical concepts through Relativity into Quantum Physics. There are key comparisons where the author explains how each Physicist interpreted fomulas and which one failed and why. From this you can see the different philosophical point of views. It is written intensly but no point seems to be missing

Superb depiction of the scientific process at work........1998-12-15

Excellent, very readable description of how quantum ideas developed and came to be accepted. Creates a real sense of "being there" as the old 19th century world view was shattered, and a new one created, including the motivating problems, the false steps, the confusions, the resistance, the inspirations, the battles, and the victories. Written for the interested general reader; technical content modest and well-explained. On the negative side, this edition is rife with typos and minor editorial goofs. Too many to ignore, but not enough to prevent it from being an excellent read.

Book Description

There's a little yarn shop on Blossom Street in Seattle. It's owned by Lydia Hoffman, and it represents her dream of a new life free from cancer. A life that offers a chance at love . . .

Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is "How to Make a Baby Blanket." Three women join. Jacqueline Donovan wants to knit something for her grandchild as a gesture of reconciliation with her daughter-in-law. Carol Girard feels that the baby blanket is a message of hope as she makes a final attempt to conceive. And Alix Townsend is knitting her blanket for a court-ordered community service project.

These four very different women, brought together by an age-old craft, make unexpected discoveries -- about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and more . . .

The Shop on Blossom Street.......2007-08-14

I liked reading this book. The author must have talked to someone with cancer because many of the feelings that I had during the three years I battled cancer were the same as Lynda. It was predictable. You knew everyone would have a happy ending to their story, which is not a bad thing but not realistic.

A Great relaxing Read.......2007-07-27

I thought this was a wonderful book. The author did an excellent job of developing the characters in such a way that made them seem so real to me. I read it at the beach last week and could not have asked for a better read as I soaked up the sun and just relaxed. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to all my friends.

Knitting or not.......2007-07-27

This book and the others relating to The Shop on Blossom Street, was like making new friends and escaping to that shop for just a while.Although I do not knit, almost makes you want to. Excellant

Where did I put those knitting needles?.......2007-07-14

A quick and easy read, with believable characters... which one were/are you? I found myself accurately predicting the ending too early for there to be much suspense, yet I enjoyed the stories of each of these ladies and their friendships. I used to knit... maybe I will again... with a group of ladies after reading this first book of the knitting series.

Great Book, New Shop.......2007-07-13

I have read the first two books in the series "The Shop on Blossom Street". Great book. Good Stories. By the time I was done I thought I would like to learn to knit. Recently in the last several month, I came upon a yarn shop in a nearby town. I decided to check it out. When I went in it was cute and had a table in the middle of the shop. The girl told me after she read the book she knew she had to open a shop. I talked to the girl and she ask if I had read "The Shop on Blossom Street" and I said yes. Her shop is designed after that book. PERFECT!
Without knowing me the girl ask if I have read the second book. I said no and she grabbed it off the shelf and handed it to me. It is called "A Good Yarn"....the name of the shop. It was also a very very good book. There is one more in that series. "Back to the Shop on Blossom Street". I do not have that yet.
So, when I took the book back to the "YARNS R US" shop, the girl handed me a card to see if I wanted to learn to knit. I am going to the class this weekend. 7/14/07. What's really neat is that there is a series of knitting instruction books designed from "The Shop on Blossom Street".
Really neat. The socks are in there whick is from the second book.
The sweaters from the frist book are there too.

Buy the books, neat clean reading!!

Customer Reviews:

loved these patterns.......2007-07-09

i loved how the pattern book reflected the story that goes by the same name. the pictures were beautiful and the step-by-step instructions made me feel, as a beginner, that i could produce these same treasures. after reading each book, i am now anxious to start working on the same projects that lydia held classes in.

the corresponding patterns books are a must and i highly recommend them. they will extend the stories that you have read.

It's fun to knit along with the story..........2006-10-29

If you are an avid knitter and you are reading this book you may find yourself wanting to see the patterns and maybe trying them out yourself. This is the perfect complement to the novel as it lays out the patterns for all the items the ladies are making in the book. I've done one of the blankets so far and it was fairly easy to follow the pattern.

Need more basic detailed instructions.......2006-08-02

Since I'm a beginner, this didn't have enough detailed information to start a project. The illustrations are beautiful though. When I get a little bit more basic knitting, I'm sure this book will come in handy.

Both delighted and disappointed.......2005-12-11

When I got this book and paged through it, I was delighted with the baby blankets and I've decided to knit several of them. I was also excited because I love the "Yarn Shop" series. Debbie Macomber captures the spirit of a Local Yarn Shop beautifully.

So was I bitterly disappointed when I looked up the recommended yarns for the project. These are yarns that are available in large chain stores, not in local yarn shops. I can appreciate that people are interested in knitting affordably, but there could at least be a mix of yarns. Much of what I loved about the original books is the knitting community that takes place in a local yarn shop. Having ALL of the recommended yarns in the pattern books come from chain stores betrays the premise of the stories. The stories could not have taken place anywhere else, yet the companion books send you to buy yarn from the very stores that are driving small shops out of business.

Knit Along with Debbie Macomber.......2005-09-12

I love her knitting novels. This book with the patterns from her first knitting book is super. Some of the patterns are a little challenging for a new knitter, but there are a few that are reasonably easy. The book is in an attractive format with very nice full color pictures of the projects. There are quite a few patterns included along with some knitting instructions. This is really worth the money.
