Credibility Is Not an Option!.......2003-03-24

Many books and articles about training give you all sorts of philosophical points of view and 'tips' for changing your trainig. This book surpasses most training aids by changing the reader's thinking about the responsibility the trainer has to be credible, and then the author gives you the tools to get there. By using self-guided-assessments, and gently but persuasively repeating the point, the author drives home the point that trainers need to be credible to stay employed. By the end of this easy to read book the reader has compelling reason, desire and drive to run training like any other entrepreneurial pursuit. This book should be on every trainer's shelf, whatever the level of education and experience.

Excellent read for new and experienced trainers.......2001-06-10

Customer Reviews:

Wow!.......2003-09-30

I paid Amazon about $250.00 for this book six months ago and it is worth every penny. I am not a CPA so I can only read 30 - 40 pages at a time and then my head starts swimming.

However, I am a senior manager at a company whose value is almost 100% dependant on our intellectual property and intangible assets and this book has been my guide in setting policy. I take it with me on every plane flight (about every two weeks) and re-read a section.

Very accurate.......2000-08-15

Gordon V. Smith,and Russell L. Parr present in detail the theory and methodology associated with the identification, valuation, and economic analysis of intangible assets. The book provides the necessary skills, judgement, and knowledge to truly understand the entire process of intangible valuation.

Book Description

Radio astronomy has revolutionized the course of modern astronomy. Marking the fiftieth anniversary of Jansky’s discovery in 1933 of extraterrestrial radio emission, Professor Sullivan asked many of the pioneers in the field to set down their versions of events and the people who made them. Each of the score of contributors seeks to give a good ‘feeling’ for the times to the great majority of readers who will not have experienced them. Over 150 illustrations, mostly historical photographs of men and machines, enliven the various recollections and reflections. The list of contributors includes many of the key personalities and covers all the major laboratories and countries involved in radio astronomy before 1960. In addition to the radio astronomers themselves, there are contributions from optical astronomers and theorists closely related to the field, as well as historians of twentieth century astronomy.

History of the Biggest Astronomical Advances of the Century.......2005-11-08

The history of optical astronomy goes back virtually forever. From at least the time of Stonehenge, perhaps 5,000 years ago, people were observing the heavenly bodies. With the invention of the telescope, great progress began from the time when Galileo observered the moons of Jupiter and continues with the most recent pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope.

In 1933, Karl Jansky, doing research for Bell Laboratories on why radio signals had noise found a strange 'hiss type static' that he traced to its origin to the center Milky Way Galaxy. From this began the whole idea of looking at the stars in every possible frequency both above and below visible light.

This book, written in 1983 was written in celebration of fifty years of radio astronomy, after the discovery of radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, cosmic background radiation and complex interstellar molecules. The writers are the people making the basic discoveries or people at least close to the action.

Radio astronomy was the biggest advance in astronomy during the twentieth century. Here's how it came about.

Book Description

Solitons are a well-known and intriguing aspect of nonlinear behavior in a continuous system such as a fluid: a wave propagates through the medium without distortion. Liquid crystals are highly ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. Solitons in liquid crystals (sometimes referred to as "walls") have a wide variety of remarkable properties that are becoming important for practical applications such as electroluminescent display. This book, the first review of the subject to be published, contains not only surveys of the existing literature, but presents new results as well.

Book Description

In the cloud-washed airspace between the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a man puts his faith in the propeller of his biplane. For disillusioned writer and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, belief is as real as a full tank of gas and sparks firing in the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who can make wrenches fly and Richard's imagination soar....

In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them... and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.

Bach crosses Adventure with Belief..........2007-09-29

Richard Bach shares insight into his life and beliefs in Illusions. This book has been a great source of hope and belief for me as I venture through my own life. Bach crosses adventure with belief and demonstrates that without either life can be incredibly boring. With both, life can be much more than many care to handle.

Life is a fact, living is a choice. We all have a connection to a higher calling. It is up to each of us to transcend our limitations and grow. Enjoy learning to believe again...

A great fable.......2007-09-14

A friend got me to read this in college and I've re-read it many times over the years since, passing it on to other friends that have enjoyed it!

It has a wonderful magic about it and while I still have to clean my windshield I like to think that maybe there are fewer bugs these days.

Great.......2007-09-14

This book was in very nice condition when I received it and for only .01 plus shipping, it was very much worth it! Thank you!!

Fun Book, Great Proverbs, Easy Reading [98].......2007-09-03

"Illusions" is one of those books which means very different things to very different readers.

To the Christian, it may be nothing more than a revisiting, a modernization of the ageless and ultimate truisms espoused in the New Testament. To a Hindu, this book recites their mantra that all of creation is divine. And, an existentialist may find this book to recite his/her belief that creation is meaningless or even evil.

And, all may have read exactly what the author sought for them to read.

In this book, two barnstorming pilots of antique biplanes meet. Richard, the narrator, is mesmerized by Donald Shimoda - the unwilling messiah. Don is always moving to avoid the throngs who follow him when he is revealed. If he just brushes a cripple or cancer patient, they are cured. He bears a great cross.

And, he is full of wisdom. Like so many wise old men of literature - Melchizedeck of Coehlo's "The Alchemist" or Conchi of Fowles "The Magus" - many questions of the narrator are answered with questions by the wise man.

This entire story may be a parable, or parts of the story make many parables. But, each is laced with proverbs or aphorisms which delight the reader. Some of my favorites were: "Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.""You teach best what you most need to learn." "Argue for your limitations and sure enough they are yours."

"We are all free to do whatever we want to do. . . " Don teaches Richard. And, in these lessons, Don tells Richard that most everything he has learned is not the truth.

"This world? And everything in it? Illusions, Richard! Every bit of it illusions!" And, so like a child, Richard must learn to walk again. Must learn to learn again. Must live all over again.

In fact, being all knowing is common - not the impossible. Don knows everything. Richard admits he does not. Why? Don says to Richard, "You do (know everything) too, of course. I just know that I know all things." Richard has to learn to bring down the walls. He has to learn to unhinge doors. In logic, the inverse is as valid as the verse. If one says: all people who think they know nothing, know nothing. Then the valid inverse would be - all people who think they know everything, know everything. That is the difference between Richard and Don.

When the wise man leaves, he leaves in style. One person tells him, "You know mister, I think you're a fake." And he answers, "Of course I'm a fake! We're all fakes on the whole world, we're pretending to be something we are not. . . we are unkillable undestroyable ideas of the Is, no matter how much we believe otherwise."

Philosophical, religious and thought provoking. This is a fun novel to open one's eyes. Hope to see you in the next world Richard Bach.

Like to think?.......2007-09-02

This book by Richard Bach, will if anything, make you THINK! A lost art in a dumbed down world that is spoon fed everything that it believes. I really liked the book and suspect I will be rereading it on occasion.

timeless inspiration.......2007-07-14

I have read Chopra, Myss, Dyer, Walsh, Choquette, Hay, Braden, Hawkins, Stevens, Murray, and a host of others, but this book started the journey, and in this book is the purest distillation of spiritual truths - manifestation, the nature of reality, the illusion of life on earth, manifesting, dominion over matter, energy, transmutation, magnetization, attraction and a sense of peace that could be described as harmonious empowerment. Read it once as a fable, then read it again as life instructions.

ILLUSIONS-OF TIME AND SPACE.......2002-10-15

Long before Neale Donald Walsh and other spiritual writers is this short story that weaves a magical tale of the potential of looking at our physical plane of life in a different manner. A forgotten book that is most inspiring and has the potential to open ones mind to other dimensions. A wonderful read for those searching for the deeper meanings of our lives.
