Book Description

In the past, recruiting on the Internet meant posting jobs at sites like Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, or SpendingLotsAndLotsOfMoney.com. Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting offers easy, alternative, and inexpensive ways to use the Internet to find employees fast. Industry sites, professional organizations, state and city job banks, ISPs, search engines, forums, mailing lists, newsgroups, and user groups are but a few of the places to find employees online. This book explains how to find these resources and use them efficiently. Other obvious (yet often overlooked) ideas include using search engines to find resumes on personal Web sites, visiting industry-targeted job boards where professionals post their resumes, and joining a professional organization that will post job listings for free.

More hype than substance.......2003-02-08

I've been recruiting for over 20 years and using the Internet every day for the last 5. I read the first two chapters of this book and then just glanced through the rest. It is very basic stuff and much of the information is completely out of date now. The author seems to be self-promoting and sounds more like an Internet marketer than a serious recruitment professional.

Sorry - but this book misses the mark.......2003-01-10

Very little real solutions...I don't know if the other reviewers read a different book than I did but honestly not that informative and has nothing "new" in it. Nothing in here that one couldn't figure out for oneself just by using common sense and having a better-than-rudimentary knowledge of the Internet.

How to find and recruit employees.......2001-03-02

Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting is a cornucopia of "tips, tricks & techniques" for business managers to find and recruit employees utilizing the resources of the Internet. Readers will learn how to effectively participate in Internet forums; peruse industry niche websites; maintain an employment section on their own corporate website; post jobs at state and city job banks; search college and universities for employable talent; and much more. Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting is an essential, "user friendly", comprehensive, single volume "how to" course that will enable even the most novice company personnel officer to enhance their recruiting performance and the quality of their corporate workforce.

Very good overview and primer.......2001-02-06

Very well written. It provides a comprehensive overview of the major changes that have occurred in the last five years in the recruiting industry. Ling's style is easy to read and will make sense to the non-geeks out there. My copy is already dogeared and highlighted and will be required reading for our department managers.

Appeals to a broad audience.......2001-01-11

I am a seasoned strategic internet sourcer who has been online for over four years. I found this primer to be quite informative because it reminded me of many advanced searching and sourcing techniques that are quite useful and not well-known. This book has broad appeal because it can be read by both novices and experieced professionals who rely on the internet to market and grow their businesses.

Poor Richard's Internet Recruiting addresses the key topics that are presented in many of the top internet recruiting seminars.

Book Description

The book is the first thorough overview of the first important steps to develop a worldwide virtual observatory so that, in the future, it could be easier to "dial-up" a part of the sky than wait many months to access a telescope. The articles in this book present details on the status of the first efforts to develop a standardized framework for the virtual observatory, including steps towards completion and deployment of technical infrastructure, uptake by data providers worldwide, and utilization by the scientific community.

Book Description

This book aims to provide scientists with information about a series of techniques that can be used with a view to facilitating the transformation of the sample to an appropriate state for subsequent detection or quantitation of its components of interest. The techniques dealt with range from the very simple ones (e.g. freeze-drying) to other more complex ones (e.g. glow discharge and laser-induced breakdown sampling).

This is the first compilation ever on the subjects of acceleration of solid sample pretreatment; automation of solid sample pretreatment; and integration of solid sample pretreatment and detection. Readers will find here the information required to compare and select the best choice for each sample treatment need and ways to facilitate or automate the most complex and time-consuming step of the analytical process when solid samples are involved.

Book Description

A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing; one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover -- these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel "the unbearable lightness of being" not only as the consequence of our pristine actions but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine.

Customer Reviews:

Oh how it made my heart ache.......2007-09-27

I read this book with a heavy heart and loved every moment of it. I love when a book can affect me so deeply. I felt the pain of the woman in the story and understood her completely. So tragic, yet so good. Thanks Kundera!

Bring a pencil.......2007-09-26

I finished reading this book about a week ago and still haven't been able to put together a review for it. The book is just too difficult to describe in a short review. There are so many philosophical points that Kundera is trying to make, and he never really gets around to answering the difficult questions that he brings up.

At the root of the philosophical inquiry is the question of whether lightness is good and heaviness is bad or vice versa. It's difficult to explain the problem, and that's probably why I can't find the right words to put together a good review for the book.

If you do intend to read it, I recommend having a pencil nearby to keep track of your own ideas and opinions of the problem, not to mention tracking Kundera's own usage of the characters (including the various government systems in which the human characters live) and how the philosophical question is answered for each of them.

I enjoyed the book immensely, but felt that I needed more time (and perhaps a study guide) to really get all the depth of the book.

In life, everything matters........2007-09-17

Milan Kundera (1929) is best known for The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), The Book of Laughter and Forgetting (1979) and The Joke (1967). Because Kundera is more interested in the themes his characters represent rather than their physical appearance, his philosophical novels tend to challenge the reader, though always in a worthwhile way. He believes the reader's imagination completes the writer's vision by filling in the missing details The Art of the Novel.

Set in 1968 Prague, The Unbearable Lightness of Being tells the story of a womanizing surgeon, Tomas, who loses his employment because he is critical of Czech Communism (he compared the Soviets to Oedipus Rex). He has had more than 200 lovers in his lifetime, and is determined to live his life unfettered by things like commitment. "Kundera's Quartet" of characters also includes Tomas's wife, Tereza (a photographer), his mistress, Sabina (a painter), and her lover, Franz (a university professor). The title of Kundera's novel refers to the idea that because each of us has only one life to live, life is ultimately insignificant, and our decisions do not matter. Because our decisions do not matter, existence seems to lose its substance or weight, making our being unbearable. Tomas represents this philosophy in the novel. He feels that nothing matters, that his life has the lightness of mortality. Conversely, enigmatic Tereza carries with her the weight of the world and is heavily impacted by life. She does not judge Tomas for his infidelities, because she knows that although he sleeps with many women, he loves only her. She is fond of animals, particularly her dog, Karenin, and a pig named Mefisto. Her relationship with Tomas is the center of Kundera's novel. After meeting her by chance, Tomas gradually begins to understand through his love for Tereza that, because we only live once, everything matters. The inscription of his grave reads, "He wanted the Kingdom of God on Earth." Sabina lives her life in opposition to "kitsch" in any form, whether it is domesticity, unoriginality, mediocrity, or untruth. Her lover, Franz is a Geneva professor who seeks lightness of being through books and academia, which Sabina also considers kitsch. The Unbearable Lightness of Being is a profound novel, and among my top ten favorite novels of the last 25 years. I also recommend the currently out-of-print film adaptation of the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Two-Disc Special Edition).

Unbearable Infidelity.......2007-09-05

This book is filled with erotica and infidelity. That just totally distracted me from the message. I could not relate at all. The author seduced me with his introduction about Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence. Infinitely many times? Nay, this life only occurs once and perhaps should be as nonce. Heaviness? NO! It is unbearably light! FORTUITOUS EVENTS! Anyway, random philosophical bits were interspersed throughout. I suppose I just rather read what people consider straight boring philosophy books.
Oh, wait just a minute. You are saying I did not read? Well, maybe I did not read deep enough, but I did read this book. Where is my girl that I can sleep with(not sexual relations)? I felt bad for the commie idealist Franz who married a wicked deceptive woman he never wanted to be with. Thanks alot for giving more propaganda for vegetarian fundamentalists. And those dogs, those slavish beings who people like so much just because people can pretty do what they want to the dog. Oh don't we wish all people were so pure and easy to manipulate to obey our every call!

Weights and measures........2007-07-09

Whatever I'll write won't do this book justice. It's a classic, plain and simple.
A great Jewish teacher -- Rabbeinu Avraham ben Ha GRA (youngest son of the saintly Vilna Gaon, or "Genius from Vilnius") -- once wrote of he and his forebears -- "We wrote tersely in order to provoke deep thought (in our readers)." Milan Kundera has done that in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being."
Flashes of mental and spiritual wrestling illuminate every page. Religion is judged to be merely a consolation. So says Dr. Tomas in discussing his son's embrace of Roman-style Christianity --
"He was down and out. The Catholics took him in and, before he knew it, he had faith. So it was gratitude that decided the issue, most likely. Human decisions are terribly simple."
But the results of human action are not so simple, as the book demonstrates. Each choice makes a ripple -- picture a stone being tossed into placid water in light of Kundera's arrangement of chapter headings. The headings appear to fan out from "Words Misunderstood" (Chapter 3).
"Lightness and Weight" (the headings for chapters 1 and 4) is a recurring theme. Yet the discussion goes beyond usual freedom-vs.-responsibilities notions. Concepts present in the lives and work of Parmenides and Beethoven are really what's being weighed.
Kundera brings us back several times to the idea that events only happen singly and incline a person toward "lightness" or "heaviness." Kundera seems to favor "heaviness" judging by the book's title and the author's implicit approval of Tomas's "descent" to "heaviness" late in the book.
"Lightness" is a consequence of our lack of knowledge for decision-making due to the fact that presumably we've never lived before and won't live again (meaning we have only "one life to live." By the way, there's an ABC soap opera with that name.)
But is that really all there is to it? Kundera doesn't probe the Jewish idea of the resusitation of the dead, in which souls from "heaven" will be reunited with their bodies and reconstituted mankind will live on a higher plane. The author doesn't hold by the reincarnation of souls -- a different idea that Judaism doesn't rule out but is more prevalent in some other religions.
Perhaps Kundera didn't explore these ideas because they are outside his own and his characters' experiences. Admittedly, the ideas are difficult to get in touch with through physical sense experience. The Communist milieu lived in by Kundera, his characters, and all of us between 1917 and 1989 (and still around to an extent) ruled out everything except that kind of experience. And, when convenient, the Communists even voided that.
An interesting idea for our gifted author and others to take up is "Does reincarnation mean that past lives and lessons learned are imprinted on the soul even if the mind isn't acutely aware of them? What are the implications of this, if any, for our current lives?"

Book Description

Amanda Eyre Ward's debut novel is an intimate portrait of three women whose lives collide during a brutal Texas summer.

In Gatestown, Texas, twenty-nine-year-old Karen Lowens awaits her execution with a host of convicted serial killers on death row. In Manhattan, Dr. Franny Wren, also twenty-nine, tends to a young cancer patient, and resists the urge to run from her fiancé and her carefully crafted life. In Austin, Texas, brassy Celia Mills, a once-vibrant librarian, mourns her murdered husband.

Over the course of the summer, fate pushes these eerily recognizable women together, culminating in a revelation of the possibility of faith, the responsibility of friendship, and the value of life. Sleep Toward Heaven is a luminous story of murder and desire, solitude and grace -- a rare literary page-turner where redemption seems perpetually within arm's reach.

I couldn't put it down! The characters are well developed and the plot is well thought out. Never boring! A MUST READ!!!

Great Read.......2007-09-09

I read this book in 2 days. Just could not put it down. My only complaint is that I wish it had been longer. Wonderful writter. Looking forward to future works.

Totally Compelling..........2007-08-03

I read this book in 2 days. If I didn't have to work in the middle of that (darn it!) would've been a few hours! What an amazing first novel. Ward brings 3 women together in a very believable set of circumstances. You feel each woman's pain so clearly you feel you know them. I actually teared up at the end! It leaves you wanting more: what happened next with Franny and Celia? Questions on the death penalty, forgiveness and life itself will haunt you. If you like books like Memory Keeper's Daughter and Time Traveler's Wife, you will become as totally engrossed in this book as I did. I'll definitely seek out Ms. Ward's next book.

Good Quick Read.......2007-04-16

Worth reading. If you want a quick, easy, entertaining story, you've got it here!

Sleep toward heaven.......2007-03-15

This book had me from the first page. It is a story that I never would have thought would capture my attention but it really is a page turner. You are enveloped in the lives of the women and it is quite a poignant book.
