      5 out of 5 stars The human side of workplace violence.......2000-06-05

      Baron's book gives the reader a comprehensive review of the human side of workplace violence in an easy-reading format. The first few chapters review a variety of national incidents and how the events affected victims, friends, relatives, co-workers, and the organizations where the violent incidents took place. Perhaps the most helpful part of Baron's book is his inclusion of Maslow's hierarchy which helps the reader to understand why some people behave in threatening or violent ways. The second half of the book covers prevention, hiring practices, training, and how to change employee behaviors to prevent violence. This is a great book to keep in your reference library or for use as a refresher when faced with an employee who shows signs of potential violence or uncivil behavior.

        Book Description

        20 murders every week. 18,000 assaults in the same time. All on the job. Sharp increases in workplace violence continue to take an unfortunate toll on American business-and its employees, families and communities. Preventative measures may be well-intentioned, but pose troubling conflicts in themselves, pitting each employee's privacy vs. overall worker protection. A full-self evaluation of your business and its personnel may be the key to safeguard against workplace violence. Thomas D. Schneid's Occupational Health Guide to Violence in the Workplace provides the important guidelines for that careful, all-encompassing examination. Most books on workplace violence focus on psychological profiles. In a change of pace, Schneid examines the issue from a safety/health professional's viewpoint, taking all angles, legal issues, and potential ramifications into account. Chapters focus on not only in-house efforts to prevent violent incidents, but also government and legal standards directly or indirectly related to worker's rights and corporate liability. Make every effort to prevent workplace violence from hitting home: start with advice from the Occupational Health Guide to Violence in the Workplace

        Book Description

        The people on the front lineùthose responsible for the safety and health of the workplace-understand the costs of threats, assaults, and fear on the morale and productivity of their employees. They also understand the costs of negative publicity, bad public relations, and litigation on the survival of their enterprises. Violence in the workplace, whether it comes from the outside or originates from within, is a frightening prospect. How can it be prevented? Through real-world cases, Preventing Workplace Violence provides a detailed look at how traditional tools for occupational health and safety, discipline, and employee relations are inadequate and inappropriate in responding to the problem of workplace violence. In fact, the methods and approaches commonly in use actually worsen the problem in some cases. This book summarizes the most up-to-date learning in this area and offers practical guidance and recommendations for assessing the risk of violence, steps for preventing workplace violence, and a thorough discussion of employee rights and employer responsibilities. Highly recommended for employers, managers, union leaders, attorneys, consultants, and others who confront the issue of violence in the workplace. Preventing Workplace Violence will be invaluable to scholars and professionals in management, organizational studies, human resources, interpersonal violence, gender studies, industrial psychology, public administration, social psychology, sociology of work, social work, clinical and counseling psychology, business psychology, and organizational behavior.

        5 out of 5 stars This is the book to buy.......2000-07-13

        As a forensic psychologist who conducts threat assessments and fitness-for-duty evaluations of potentially violent employees, I found Dr. Braverman's book to be the most informative, readable, and practical text available. I recommend it highly to HR professionals, Occupational Health physicians and nurses, employment lawyers (don't be offended by some of Dr. Braverman's constructive criticism of too-conservative corporate counsel!), Employee Assistance professionals, union officials, security officers, anyone who worries about a co-worker's potential for violence, and anyone who has been accused of threatening violence on the job. If more employers took Dr. Braverman's advice, workplace homicides and other forms of violence (e.g., assualts, harassment, hostile work environment, threats, intimidation) would decrease, employee stress would diminish, and worker productivity would improve.

        5 out of 5 stars A very helpful guide.......2000-05-17

        This is the best book on this topic I have seen. As the owner of a mid-sized company, I run into violence, threat and harassment situations almost weekly. The book is intelligent, has useful case studies, and concise guidelines on how to develop and implement policy. The author knows his stuff and has a humane, reasonable approach to these tricky issues.

              The best part of this book was the Appendix of Internet Resources, and this alone does not warrant the cost of the book. I found much better information on performing health searches, as well as various other industries, in Find it Online: the Complete Guide to Online Research. Detwiler's book had some good information in it, but it was sporadic, and I did not find the interview format useful--on the contrary, many of the questions were irrelevant, or were good questions, but not really answered by the interviewee. This book is not really a useful tool for researchers, as there is too much useless information to wade through in order to glean anything of value; and there are certainly no "secrets", as far as I could see, that could not be found in other, more comprehensive, research guides.

                        Book Description

                        Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis presents modern ideas and experimental data (e.g., molecular beams, laser technique) on adsorption and catalysis, the mechanism of energy exchange in the processes of particles interaction with a surface, and the lifetimes of excited particles on a surface. Previously unpublished theoretical information regarding the principle of chemoenergetical stimulation accounting for the acceleration of one reaction at the expense of reactant excitation in another is provided, and new ideas about nonequilibrium surface diffusion are explored. Examples of the formation of nonequilibrium dissipative structures in catalysis are presented, including auto-oscillations, auto-waves, multiplicity of kinetic regimes, nonequilibrium phase transition, and decelerated electron exchange between solid and adsorbed species. The book also describes new experimental methods for studying nonequilibrium and quick processes in catalysis. Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis will benefit physicists involved with surface science, chemists involved with adsorption and catalysis, engineers, vacuum scientists, physical chemists, materials chemists, students, and others interested in these processes.

                          This is an excellent book for transitioning students from high school to college. The selections are intellegent and demanding and cover several areas of study. The introduction gives a method for reading and evaluating that will serve the student for the remainder of his/her college career and beyond.

                          3 out of 5 stars Does not live up to its title.......2007-07-12

                          I have used A WORLD OF IDEAS several times in college composition courses that I have taught. It is a book with many strengths. The readings are rigorous, well-chosen, and provocative. Students often struggle to understand them and write about them, but I believe that struggling with great ideas is a good thing for a college student to do. I have observed, time after time, that real personal and intellectual growth comes with this struggle. My problem with this text, though, is that it gives very short shrift to ideas that are not part of the Western tradition. In the current edition, only three or four readings do not come from America or Western Europe. Only one of these (Selections from Lao Tzu) occur in any chapter other than the one on religion. Compare this with Norton's new text, READING THE WORLD: IDEAS THAT MATTER, which I just began teaching with this year--this is also substantial great-ideas reader, but it is one in which 35 out of 70 readings come from China, Japan, Africa, Latin America, and the Islamic world. It would be more honest of Jacobus to drop the token readings from Lao Tzu and the Buddha and simply re-title this collection A CONTINENT OF IDEAS.

                          5 out of 5 stars Amazing book.......2007-06-29

                          This is one book that every college student MUST read.
                          It is a very resourceful book, introducing you to the many of the world's greatest thinkers...ancient,modern, and contemporary.
                          It is one of those books that makes you REALLY think about stuff (about the world, humanity, and existence).
                          What's really beautiful about this book is that it combines philosophy with literature. Reading this book, you will not only analyze about the ideas themselves, but also how the ideas are presented (rhetorical and literary technique).

                          1 out of 5 stars Only for the Scholarly!!.......2007-02-10

                          If you are an English major this book is definately for you. If you are any other major, I strongly advise you not taking an English class that requires this text. It is extremely boring, but if you love philosphy and history than you would very much enjoy this book!

                          5 out of 5 stars The foundations of modern thinking.......2001-03-02

                          In this collection, Jacobus includes some of the most inspirational and intriguing ideas from great thinkers of antiquity and today. Not only does the anthology include selections from the bedrock of Western philosophy, science, social theory and religion, it also includes selections connected to Buddhism, Islamic thought and other topics celebrating diversity.

                          I've used this reader in advanced freshman composition classes for three years, and I have found it to be the most thought-provoking text I have ever encountered. Too often, today's college freshmen are exposed to a shotgun blast of diverse, modern writers concentrating on social issues of our day. How easy is it to understand Brent Staples or bell hooks without first knowing about Martin Luther King or Frederick Douglass? Is it possible to intelligently discuss David Boaz with no knowledge of Thoreau, Jefferson, or Rousseau??

                          Unfortunately, many of today's incoming freshmen have none of the background knowledge in liberal arts that many instructors take for granted at the college level. Jacobus' collection can provide that background, while at the same time bringing out timeless issues for writing and spirited discussion.
