"Breakthrough Business Skills You Can Immediately Apply".......1998-04-01

Results. My primary motivation for reading business books is specifically to learn how the world's most successful businesses, leaders, and teams are producing breakthrough results. "Breakthrough Teamwork" delivers. For example, if you want to instantly improve your company's creative output and your facilitation skills, turn directly to page 81 and read "Structured Brainstorming Versus Unstructured Brainstorming." I've personally used this simple procedure to boost the creativity of my clients, coworkers, and family members. And that's not the only idea I've successfully borrowed from the book!

The author, Dr. Dennis Romig, has distilled 20 years' work experience as a businessman, consultant, and applied psychologist into a set of 10 teamwork skills that have been proven to produce results in companies such as Motorola, Advanced Mico Devices, and Amoco. The origin and procedure for each of the skills is backed by hard data studies, which Dr. Romig defines as studies that have been tried in a real business, have generated real business results, and have been compared to a control group. After having read shelves full of popular business books chronicling the latest fads, I really appreciated Dr. Romig's hard data approach. To me, it seems that many of the business practices prescribed in the business books and journals I've read are based upon a single case, studies with college students, or the imagination of an enthusiastic author -- not the most credible business sources. My conclusion: Suggestions in most business books are seldom effective outside the context of the book.

I highly recommend "Breakthrough Teamwork." It's one of a handful of books I've read that contains scores of immediately applicable ideas. Though it's not quite as metaphorical as some of the popular business books, it's filled with cogently organized, results-bearing suggestions.

Customer Reviews:

The New York Times liked this book.......2001-03-26

On March 13, 2001 the Science section of the New York Times published a short review of this book. It describes how the entries for the various medical specialties were selected. "For those willing to travel to find the best physician for everything, this guide serves well." Not many of this can afford this, but the book should have a small but grateful audience.

Another physician.......2006-06-14

I too am a doc who is in this...i have been in our local dallas magazine as well. My experiance is similar to another reviewer. They send you the notification and ask you to buy a very expensive plaque or take out incredibly expensive ad space. I too think anyone would be better served asking their physician for a recommendation or checking with the referral service at the local teaching institution.

A great help! .......2004-11-11

Finding a doctor for me was always easy, but the doctors I went to weren't the best my HMO offered. When a friend gave me the book (because I always complained about my doctor) I scheduled an appointment with doctor and immediately felt different.

Bogus crap.......2004-07-09

I'm listed in this book and I am offended that after they list you they try to sell you their plaque (for a couple of hundred dollars) saying that you are listed as a best doctor. I suggest you go read a good book about the medical system like What your doctor won't (or can't) tell you. Purchasing this book is a waste of your time and money.

Great resource.......2003-08-18

America's Top Doctors is a great resource for finding the top specialists in the nation. From adolecent medicine to urology, the book covers every kind of specialist. It was informative when I needed to find a doctor who specializes in brain tumors when a loved one was diagnosed. The introduction is a little too long, but is informative.

Book Description

Now in paperback, this book deals with the evolution of Xray astronomy during the initial phases of its development. The story commences in the late 1950S with the discovery of high-energy radiations from beyond the solar system, and is taken through to the point at which X-ray astronomers began exploring questions of broader interest in astronomy. In examining this early period, when scientists acquired fundamental data and the rudiments of theory, the author shows how technical progress, and public policy changes played important roles in advancing the subject. Three transformations of astronomy as a discipline are highlighted: the augmentation of purely optical observations; the emergence of federal funding as the dominant source of financial support; and the greatly altered size and structure of the research community.

Could be better. Provides answers, but not much explanation.......2007-01-08

The textbook contains the answers for the odd problems. So does this book. So what does it offer that the textbook does not? Very little. Some additional explanation of how to solve the problem, but not much.

In the past, the student solutions manuals I've used had more information on how to solve the problems and discussed potential errors/mistakes.

This book needs more content to be truly valuable.

Fun Throughout.......2007-08-04

Readers seeking an entrée into Russian literature are prime candidates for this prose collection. Pushkin's stories are well-paced--not a word is wasted--and those who look beneath the surface of the writer's refreshingly lucid, taut and unembellished style will find a world that bristles with energy and life.

Among my favorite short stories in this collection were: The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin, The Captain's Daughter and The Queen of Spades. The epistolatory introduction to Tales of Belkin consists of a wry letter from the publisher, which kicks off a hilarious and sweeping commentary on Russian society. Filled with such characters as an arrogant fop, a wistful maiden and a heartbroken father, these poetic stories were beautifully crafted by a bon vivant who, without a doubt, appreciated the art of entertainment. The only selection I didn't care for was The Undertaker, as it struck me as silly, but the rest of Belkin's tales were page-turners. The Captain's Daughter was a heartwarming and often amusing tale of love, persistence and respect, as well as a not-so-oblique commentary on Tsarist aggression: the subject nearly landed young Pushkin in scalding-hot water, too. The protagonist Petr Andreich, who remains callow and a victim of circumstance throughout much of the story, incidentally, reminded me of Pip from Dickens's Great Expectations (Penguin Classics). Finally, Queen of Spades is a poignantly dark and cynical exploration of greed and treachery.

The images this artist pours into his short stories, as well as the plethora of superb scenes and economy of writing he employs, are reminiscent of modern screenwriting, and I suspect even harried readers who are accustomed to a steady diet of film and television will find themselves welcomed here. To wit, several stories struck me as prime candidates for a short film; I'd especially like to see an adaptation of The Shot, one of the five Tales of Belkin. Too bad this Everyman's Library edition isn't available in paperback, although it's probably small and light enough to fit into a travel bag.

Regardless, it's a fine read.

would put Pushkin in category with Turgenov and Chekov for a good read with a hot cup of tea in front of a roaring fire. Everyman's Library edition offers a decent look at historical Russian window through stories.

Thrilling Tales of Adventure and Romance!.......2002-06-28

This book contains the major prose works of Aleksandr Pushkin, which include "The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin", "Dubrovskii", "The Queen of Spades", "The Captain's Daughter", and "A History of Pugachev". Also included in the book are many unfinished stories and fragments, which provide some glimpse into what Pushkin was thinking in between the years that he wrote his masterpieces.

Pushkin's stories range from melancholy to humorous to psychological and yet they are all written in a clear, and crisp style that is easy to grasp. Unlike Pushkin's poetry, little is lost in the translation of his prose works from Russian to English and thus we can fully appreciate his genius.

Although all of Pushkin's prose works are excellent, but one that continues to remain in my memory for some reason is "Egyptian Nights". Here the two main characters are Charskii, the nobleman who upholds the aesthetic and personal nature of poetry writing, and the greedy Italian improvisator, who lives by giving public shows and is able to deliver a poem (and quite astonishing at that) on any topic at a moment's notice - but for a fee. Is it possible that Charskii and the Italian both represent different facets of Pushkin's own personality? Anyway, I thought the story ending was erotic and exotic...

Even if you are not interested in Russian literature or in Russian culture in general, I would daresay that you would find it hard to put this collection of stories down after you started reading them.

The only problem that I had was with the publisher. I wish that they had provided a bookcover, because the paint on the outside of the hardcover kept coming off onto my hands!

Russian Literature, Russian Love.......2000-11-29

If you want to sincerely have a happy, fulfilling marriage to a Russian lady then you better not be complacent either. Study the Pimsleur language lessons, read all the books you can, study Russian history and culture, read their literature. The works of Pushkin alone are rewarding for any scholar with or without the motive of a beautiful Russian bride!

Book Description

This cutting-edge volume fully describes the bankruptcy law of the United States, and sets forth a comprehensive body of agreed-upon principles governing multinational insolvency cases in which the assets are located in one or more of the three NAFTA countries; and offers practical approaches to managing such cases based on those principles. In part influenced by ALI's Transnational Insolvency Project, all three of the NAFTA countries have reconsidered aspects of their bankruptcy laws during the life of the Project. These changes are fully reflected in this timely and up-to-date volume.
