Teams have become an increasingly important part of business success. The creation of virtual teams with members geographically scattered but electronically connected has set many companies on fire. Yet for all their power and flexibility, virtual teams face greater obstacles than traditional teams do. Organizational networking experts Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps provide the keys to successful virtual teams, showing how to harness their potential while avoiding their many potential pitfalls. The many case studies offered are particularly enlightening as the authors demonstrate the techniques, mechanics, and communications required to build the virtual teams that supercharge an enterprise.

A "must-have" for any consultant........1997-09-24

Whether we choose to embrace technology, it is here to stay. Those who harness and leverage its capabilities will discover exciting new ways to conduct commerce. From entrepreneurial startups to the mega corporations, "Virtual Teams" explores not only how these emerging technologies will affect our daily activities but how our workplaces and social interactions will metamorphose. I highly recommend this book; Lipnack and Stamps are visionaries in field of networking. -- L. Alan Schuetz, President, DVMS, Inc.

Simultaneously Fundamental and Visionary..........1997-09-10

"Virtual Teams" was a real treat for both my academic and consulting sensibilities. I have never seen such a thorough work on this topic. It is both fundamental and visionary at the same time.

In discourse with a fellow business consultant we bantered about the topic of Lipnack and Stamps latest book (of which I had received an advance copy). He said: "Unfortunately, Lipnack and Stamps(L&S) have been 10 years ahead of the curve with their understanding of the importance of networking."

"But," I replied, "With the book 'Virtual Teams' they offer the world-wide-race-to-the-Internet a well needed moment of reflection-during which they offer PURPOSE to connecting and give virtual teaming DEFINITION and DIRECTION." And the banter continued but we both agreed and got tingles as our chat echoed the truth of their statement:

"Communication technologies and computer networks-in particular the Internet-are underwriting this moment of pregnant potential." (p 240)

"You know," I concluded, "It's a good thing they (L&S) were ahead of their time-otherwise we would not have the language to discuss our 'interdependence' symptoms, to test our 'distributed business' hypothesis', and to realize how much responsibilty it is to be 'pregnant' with potential! Really! The capabilities and expectations we have to manage in these Internet days... how exciting, how dangerous! After all, 'net potential, without 'net performance is just predisposed waste, don't you agree?"

"Yeah, yeah Paula,--yadda, yadda, yadda; 'net, 'net, 'net...enough philosophy-so, should I read the book or not?"

"Go for it." I replied. "This book is not just an electronic blip about the latest fad of virtual teams- it is a study on careful communication, on planning and developing valuable distributed business relationships...a book to be savored and re-read over time."

(BTW --Mine is already all dog-eared and worn!)

Be prepared to THINK DEEP; when you read this book, SIP it SLOWLY and --ENJOY!

Book Description

This book integrates astronomical observations and theories with geophysical studies, presenting a comprehensive overview of the extraterrestrial matter that falls to Earth from space. Meteoroids are the main topic of the book, although cosmic dust, interplanetary matter and meteorites are also discussed. This work is of great value to researchers involved in the study of meteor phenomena.

Customer Reviews:

I love the cover image!.......2005-09-16

The leonid's fireball cover image is taken by me! But very sadly and disappointed, there is not any acknowledgement written anywhere in the book.

For the content, it is mostly about research on meteor. It is good for researchers, but not for leisure.

Book Description

Psychrotrophic Bacteria in Foods: Disease and Spoilage presents a comprehensive review of psychrotrophic bacteria and other pathogens and their role in causing food spoilage in refrigerated and frozen foods. The book focuses on the growth, survival, and subsequent activity of these organisms, especially in meat and poultry products. Metabolic products of bacterial growth in foods as indicators of spoilage are described. The book also discusses the potential microbiological hazard posed to "new generation" minimally processed refrigerated foods. Psychrotrophic Bacteria in Foods: Disease and Spoilage is an informative reference for food microbiologists and other food scientists working in industry and academia. It will also be useful to researchers and personnel in regulatory agencies.

Book Description

This is the first book devoted entirely to asymptotic modelling of fluid flow phenomena and deals with the art of the asymptotic modelling of Newtonian laminar fluid flows. This asymptotic modelling consists of deriving fluid flow model problems in such a way that they become amenable to mathematical analysis and to numerical simulations. The main goal of the text is modelling and not the presentation of solutions.

One may assume that for some time to come the further expansion of the capabilities of numerical simulations will depend on, or will at least be related to, the development of asymptotic modelling. The book includes the basic aspects, recent developments, and the current issues important to the asymptotic modelling of fluid flow phenomena.

Octavia E. Butler, the grande dame of science fiction, writes extraordinary, inspirational stories of ordinary people. Parable of the Sower is a hopeful tale set in a dystopian future United States of walled cities, disease, fires, and madness. Lauren Olamina is an 18-year-old woman with hyperempathy syndrome--if she sees another in pain, she feels their pain as acutely as if it were real. When her relatively safe neighborhood enclave is inevitably destroyed, along with her family and dreams for the future, Lauren grabs a backpack full of supplies and begins a journey north. Along the way, she recruits fellow refugees to her embryonic faith, Earthseed, the prime tenet of which is that "God is change." This is a great book--simple and elegant, with enough message to make you think, but not so much that you feel preached to.

Another good read from Butler.......2007-08-20

If you have enjoyed her other novels, buy this book. I think it is one of Butler's best works.

Amazing/Frightening.......2007-06-05

Reading this book makes you long for what was, as though you are with the characters in 2025. Every time the world looks bad right now, think of this book and you'll know just how much more dark and out of control it's capable of becoming.

The simple style of the writing is both beautiful and addictive, drawing you in until you're worn out by the end. A must read for those who like post fall of civilization stories.

One of the world's top authors.......2007-05-28

Because of "Lilith's Brood" and "Kindred," I became an ardent fan of Butler's writing. I consider her one of the world's all-time best authors. If you've never picked up a Butler book and you're into fantasy or sci fi, you're shorting yourself of a great experience. She was such a fantastic writer that the reader swears her created worlds and characters are real...somewhere, sometime. In that light, reading this book ripped me to pieces. I am tempted to say I didn't like the book because it is quite believable that this could be our future. Yet, it is superbly written. If you're prone to depression or emotional reactions to books, you might steer clear of this one and go for "Lilith's Brood" instead.

Dystopian near future fiction at its finest!.......2007-05-17

this book changed my life. the story is so moving, the main character so compelling... i reread it almost immediately. whenever i have the opportunity to recommend this book to a thoughtful person, i do not hesitate. it may not be for everyone- it is no romance novel or flashy sci-fi adventure. it is a moving, character driven, prophetic look at where our society might be headed. herein lives an example of a hero(ine) who happens to be black and happens to be a girl, but whose wisdom is universal. this is a story with universal appeal: there is pain/ suffering, politics, religion/ spirituality, action, adventure, romance and love, hope and idealism.

the sequel, 'parable of the talents' is also quite compelling, but not in the same league as 'sower'. i have a special love of dystopian fiction, and this is among my absolute favorites (of any genre).

philosophical story told in journal format.......2007-05-10

I disliked the categorization of the book on the jacket. The blurb says this is a road-trip story and a coming of age story.

To me it was much more of a story as a vehicle for philosophical ideas. Butler is clearly discussing human nature (exploitive vs. cooperative) and the continuum of societies from slave-based to free. Butler is also examining how religion and ideology shape our society and interact with human nature.

The characters are compelling enough. The story is good.

The story is written in the from of a diary or journal, so it's not as descriptive as modern writers often are expected to be. I read on book on writing that explained the difference between 19th Century novels and modern novels as being that in the 19th Century it was like the audience watching a stage with the actors delivering their lines off stage. Modern audiences usually expect to see the action for themselves.

Because "Sower" is told in journal format the narrator has to infer and give second-hand accounts of some of the action scenes.

Book Description

This beautifully written and uplifting book is a user's guide to "spiritual horticulture" as practiced and taught by Jesus the gardener. Springboarding off the Parable of the Sower, the book explores how spiritual seekers can grow in God and grow of God. Growth in God is discovering and nurturing the divine seed already within us all. Growth of God is creatively cooperating to bring about the Kingdom of Heaven on earth or what Walters calls the "secret garden." When we cultivate the divine seed within us, we both grow into full humanhood and allow God to grow into full Godhood.

Even non-gardeners will relate to the images found in each fast-reading chapter: "Breaking Ground" is about preparing for spiritual gardening by learning to listen first to God, then to the mysterious stirrings within. "Surviving Drought" shows how to prepare for spiritual dryness and how to recognize, within it, opportunities for new growth. "Fertilizing" follows the rule that less is more; over-fertilizing springs from mistrust. "Pruning" is learning single-mindedness of purpose to discover what is realistically possible and what distractions must be dropped. And the final chapter, "Enchanted Garden," talks about finally living in the garden and growing God.

Seekers of all Christian denominations will find this a heartwarming and encouraging book that will help them deepen their spiritual lives. It's particularly good for gardeners, for anyone making or celebrating new beginnings, and for gift buyers year round but especially during springtime and Easter. Pastors and pastoral counselors will find this a good general book to recommend as well as to use in group discussions.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome Book.......2007-04-11

I am teaching a 5 week spiritual gardening class using this book as a guide. As the first chapter teaches, it makes you stop and listen to what God is telling you and makes you look at your own spiritual garden. I would recommend this book to everyone, gardener or not.

Not just for Aunt Mildred who likes to putter in the garden.......2002-02-15

When my wife gave me this for Lent reading, I thought it was going to be just another cutsie gardening book sprinkled with a few feel-good quotes from the bible. Wrong! This isn't a gardening book at all. What it is is a guidebook for spiritual awakening to God within. I've read it once, and I plan to meditate on each of it's chapters in the weeks of Lent.
