Book Description

When the marketing department complains about the production staff, or the sales force makes promises customer service says it can't deliver, this is tribal warfare -- those interdepartmental conflicts that form one of the biggest and most costly productivity problems in organizations. Understanding how to recognize and deal with tribal conflict becomes extremely important for company survival and growth. Peg Neuhauser shows how to bridge the gap between factions that inevitably arise in organizations -- and lessen tribal warfare, lower employee stress, improve managerial effectiveness and promote higher productivity.

One of my favorite books of all time.......2005-12-23

Senseless frustrating behavior at work is much easier to understand when seen through the light of Peg Neuhauser's eyes. Neuheuser uses techniques from anthropology to teach anyone to understand the frequently ignored symbols and meaning that shape group behavior in any workplace. As an organizational consultant, I've seen far too many management interventions fail miserably because both managers and consultants were unaware of the organizational culture that drove outcomes. _Tribal Warefare in Organizations_ is a great tool for anyone who deals with people at work. Reading it is like getting a much needed flashlight in the dark.

Perfect size, perfect format.......2007-07-15

Excellent format and length. I used this book almost exclusively and found it to be thorough useful, and appropriate.

Excellent book!!.......2006-11-11

I used this book as a part of my step2 CK preparation. I reviewed it in the last couple of days before my exam. It's a great book and helps you brush up in the last minute. I used it along with Kaplan study material and first-aid. Go for it!!

Very good condition.......2006-11-11

The book came on time and also in the said condition-good and new!

Better than First Aid.......2006-09-08

I found Step 2 secrets to be a much higher yield resource for Step 2 CK than First Aid. First Aid contains too much detailed basic science review for my liking. Step 2 secrets is predominantly clinical and full of pearls that came up on CK for me. Especially helpful were the emergency medicine, cardiology and rheumatology sections. The question/answer format is very handy. I covered answers and discussed the question in my mind, in essence self-pimping throughout the book. It's a great book to use for group study or study with a partner as well. I went through secrets before tackling Qbank questions and found it to be very helpful. When I sat for CK, I was amazed by how many questions (50+) that I was able to answer immediately based on recalling the content in secrets. Secrets is short and easily digestible. Although I consider USMLE World and Kaplan Qbank to be the top study aids for the exam, I believe that step 2 secrets is a very good supplemental text for preparation. I regret having purchased and read First Aid (see my review of First Aid for CK). In general the first aid series are very good as we all know; however, step 2 secrets is superior to first aid for CK in my opinion.

Solid but use USMLEworld too.......2006-08-19

Several interns had recommended this book to me to prep for Step 2. I used Step 2 Secrets almost exclusively with Kaplan Q Bank and USMLEworld (another online question bank). Step 2 Secrets seems to deal with the bread-and-butter of the medical field, which is an essential foundation for the real test. While doing USMLEworld, however, I tended to miss quite a few questions that Step 2 Secrets did not seem to cover. Unfortunately, the real Step 2 tends to mimic USMLEworld closely in terms of format, difficulty, and overall vagueness. Just prior to test time, I browsed through First Aid Step 2 CK and it seemed to cover some of the holes in my knowledge. I did not feel very confident taking the test. Nonetheless, I managed a 260+ on the real thing, which I don't think reflected my true lack of knowledge. While Step 2 Secrets (as a previous reviewer mentioned), does do a good job covering the basics, it lacks the inside edge USMLEworld and the newest First Aid (only slightly better) possess. In the end, you probably only want to buy either Step 2 Secrets or First Aid. They're quite similar, so your decision should be based on the format. If you like Q&A, go for Secrets. If you like outlines and text, First Aid (Crush Step 2 is basically an outline version of Secrets). Make sure, however, to do USMLEworld. It's frustrating and nit picky, like the real thing. Step 2 is more instinctual in nature than Step 1, so it's more about realizing general concepts of treatments and workups. Practice questions and scenarios are key here. Prior clinical experience and doing well on rotations (learning, not scutting) are important as well. Good luck and I hope you have good results.

Book Description

Welcome to 44 Scotland Street, home to some of Edinburgh's most colorful characters. There's Pat, a twenty-year-old who has recently moved into a flat with Bruce, an athletic young man with a keen awareness of his own appearance. Their neighbor, Domenica, is an eccentric and insightful widow. In the flat below are Irene and her appealing son Bertie, who is the victim of his mother’s desire for him to learn the saxophone and italian–all at the tender age of five.

Love triangles, a lost painting, intriguing new friends, and an encounter with a famous Scottish crime writer are just a few of the ingredients that add to this delightful and witty portrait of Edinburgh society, which was first published as a serial in The Scotsman newspaper.

Customer Reviews:

Delicious slice of Edinburgh life!.......2007-09-24

This book was written for The Scotsman newspaper in serial form, as many of Charles Dickens's novels were. It's not Dickensian, but Smith's view of the purpose of fiction is certainly compatible with Dickens's - "to remind us of the virtues - of love and forgiveness, for example - and these can be portrayed just as well in an ongoing story of everyday life as they can on a more ambitious and more leisurely canvas." That is not to say that this book is dull or moralizing - far from it! Smith's sly wit enlivens each character and scene and makes me think more of Austen than of Dickens. It is no easy feat to write article-length chapters interesting in themselves, that are connected in theme and tone, with a central plot thread which is tied up satisfactorily in the end (at least for me...some reviewers have disagreed). Smith has done it.

The cast of characters here is presumably the one that we will meet in the next two novels of the series, Espresso Tales and Love Over Scotland. Smith has left loose ends for future exploration. These characters may not equal the popularity of his Botswana folks (Mma Ramotswe of the Ladies Detective Agency) but it's a very close call. It's satisfying to watch Pat (the twenty-year old in search of work and love and social life) grow in realizing and acting on her own very good judgment of people and situations. Pat's older sidekicks, Domenica and Angus, are witty sophisticates with a taste for the down-to-earth - Pat probably won't turn out to be like them, but they are an amusing counterbalance for her innocence and honesty.

Bruce - aaaahhhhh, Bruce! Bruce deserves his own paragraph, as he would certainly tell us. No more about Bruce, you gotta read it. Irene, our other over-the-top manipulator, is equally amazing, in a much more intellectual way. I still can't get over the idea of a Stockhausen ringtone...anyway, that's the snobby nouveau-riche side of Edinburgh for you. And Bertie, Irene's son, is right up there with Pat as the most interesting character. We are going to see much more of Bertie, I hope. Matthew, Pat's "boss" (if it is possible to think of Matthew as a boss), will continue to surprise us.

Edinburgh itself is a character in the book. Some of Scotland's poets and politicians appear in this book (the introduction fills us in on who is real and who is not), and as we get to know them and hear some of their poems (courtesy of Domenica and Angus), we feel that we are beginning to know this place, its past and present. Big Lou, the coffee-shop owner who reads Proust, is fictional, but I bet there is someone close to being Big Lou in Edinburgh somewhere. One day I'm going to meet her!

If you like the Botswana series, give this one a try! I'm betting you will be hooked.

Wonderfully Enjoyable Book.......2007-09-22

I picked this (and the sequel) up on my way back from a business trip in the U.K. I've read all of Mccall Smith's "#1 Lady Detective Agency Books" so I thought I'd give this a go.

The book is excellent and an incredible joy to read. I started and finished the book on the 7 hour flight back, and many times laughed out loud at some of the humor and the fascinating characters.

I'll say this - every book I read by Mccall Smith makes me want to go visit the country in which it's set. This is no different. Edinburgh in Scotland is high on the agenda for the next trip.

If you're traveling overseas, buy this first book for the trip over, then wait to get the sequel for the return flight.

makes you want to visit Scotland.......2007-07-29

Good characters, an alluring setting and a good tale make this series an enjoyable read. You will be eager to read the next one.

hilarious.......2007-05-21

This book is absolutely hilarious. The characters, while apparently quintessentially Scottish, are easily relatable to anyone of any nationality in that you sit there and think, "I know someone exactly like that!" You do not have to be from Edinburgh to find this book laugh-out-loud funny. True, there is not much of a resolution at the end, but this book is one of the few instances where the writing is the point, not the plot (which is enjoyable on its own anyway). I can't wait to read the sequel.

A very enjoyable read.......2007-02-22

I really liked this book. It was a joy to read. The characters are interesting and unpredictable. Also, it's been a while since I've laughed out loud while reading a book, but I did so with this one.
