    1 out of 5 stars Needs Updating and Reorganization.......2006-06-12

    I was forced to use this book to teach an HRMS course in 2006 (Canadian college course). This text is out-of-date and also poorly organized. Additionally, the supporting materials of PPT and end-of-chapter exercises said to be on one of the author's website are of very poor quality. The PPT consist of paragraphs of text copied and pasted from the textbook. This book needs a complete rework if it is to have any significance in today's world. If the book didn't have a Canadian author's name on it I don't think it would be used by a Canadian college. One other note... it's pretty bad when my students tell me at the beginning of the course that the textbook is terrible. Unfortunately I had to bite my tongue.

    This book approach, reviewed in this column a more comprehensive and strategic HR function has recently adopted the term HR Management Systems (HRMS) to reflect the enhanced importance and capabilities of today's IS and IT applications in human resources. Despite the critical role HRMS plays in the HR world, there are relatively few books published to shed light on the topic.
    Author delivered an HRMS system is an electronic data and file management system used by organizations to maintain and manage their personnel records, payroll and other HR functions. Often these are large-scale, mainframe systems that require a total IST integration.

    5 out of 5 stars Human Resources Management Systems: A Practical Approach.......2000-12-03

    By Ray Brillinger Canadian HR Reporter October 23, 2000

    The Technology to manage intellectual capital

    First, it was e-commerce, then e-business; now, increasingly we see developments and hear about trends in e-HR. While HR Information Systems (HRIS) have been around and evolved over many years for a quick history, see the first chapter in Human Resources Management Systems: A practical approach, reviewed in this column a more comprehensive and strategic HR function has recently adopted the term HR Management Systems (HRMS) to reflect the enhanced importance and capabilities of today's IS and IT applications in human resources. Despite the critical role HRMS plays in the HR world, there are relatively few books published to shed light on the topic. These recent titles will help readers to understand how information is being used in HR today, the technologies and software available to support the needs, how to select and implement systems successfully, and some strategic areas the systems serve including knowledge management and intellectual capitaldevelopment. The selection of an appropriate system is a critical HR managementdecision. However, the authors go beyond the usual examination ofselection criteria and maintenance of an HRMS, to look in-depth at theopportunities to use the HRMS as a critical management tool in theorganization." Co-authors Turnbull and Doran are frequentcontributors to CHRR in areas related to HR technology and informationmanagement. This second edition is updated to reflect newdevelopments, especially Internet use and related applications. Thecoverage and style are also revised to reach an expanded audience: HR and payroll managers, general management and IS professionals as well as college- and university-level teachers and students. The first part of the book describes the background and needs for HRMS, and presents a Return on Investment approach for cost justification and demonstrated value. Next, several chapters take the reader through the stages of planning, designing, implementing and maintaining the system. The last part of the book shows, in detail, how HRMS can support core HR functional areas: *HR planning and development; *Staffing; *Training and development;

    *Compensation and payroll; *Benefits and pension programs; and *Occupational health and safety.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Overview of HRIS/HRMS.......2000-08-16

    This is a terrific book to give anyone an overview of the issues surrounding human resource information systems.

    It is clear, concise, and has chapters on every functional area of HR citing examples.

    I have found it very useful.

        5 out of 5 stars An excellent overall guide to understanding Diabetes........2000-10-16

        This book is perfect for the recently diagnosed or anyone with a family member or friend who has diabetes. It covers all the topics and issues in a way that is intelligent, sensitive and yet does not flinch from the issues. From learning how to use your meter to dealing with family members, this is a diabetes information course and a sourcebook to refer back to over and over.

        I used Diana Guthrie's book to educate myself when my doctor turned me loose with no diet, no information and no idea of how to use my meter. This book is NOT a self diagnosing cure-all, BUT IT WAS the band aid between meeting in a diabetes educational session with a medical professional (which took three weeks, and that's a long time to wait for help) and being scared and knowing nothing. Thank you, Ms. Guthrie. In addition, I have been recommending this book to fellow diabetics.

        An extraordinary book on the subject, and absolutely invaluable.

            Book Description

            In 1998 Thomas Hales dramatically announced the solution of a problem that has long teased eminent mathematicians: what is the densest possible arrangement of identical spheres? The Pursuit of Perfect Packing recounts the story of this problem and many others that have to do with packing things together. The examples are taken from mathematics, physics, biology, and engineering, including the arrangement of soap bubbles in foam, atoms in a crystal, the architecture of the bee's honeycomb, and the structure of the Giant's Causeway. Using an informal style and with key references, the book also includes brief accounts of the lives of many of the scientists who devoted themselves to problems of packing over many centuries, together with wry comments on their efforts. It is an entertaining introduction to the field for both specialists and the more general public.

            4 out of 5 stars Introduction to mysteries and myths of packing!.......2004-05-11

            The text is packed with both ordered and disorderly discussions of several packing problems that arise in daily life as well as in crystallography, physics and abstract mathematics. A nice introduction to the solved and unsolved mysteries and myths of packing problems!! The text is an easy read, suitable for even high school kids, though graduate students and teachers will find it more illuminating and informative!

            4 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to packing.......2001-02-25

            A good starting discussion for packing problems, even though several issues are not covered (look at Erich's Packing Center for the next edition). Chapters cover Circle packings, sphere packings, the Hales proof, seed shapes, honeycombs, bubbles, atoms and crystals, fractal aggregates, The Giant's Causeway, buckyballs, higher dimensional packings, and various odds and ends. There are lots of illustrations and good discussions. I would have prefered for more to be packed into the book. Still, it's the best introductory book on packing I know of.

              Historically problematic, the packing of solid structures is central to many areas of science. Written by Dennis Wearie, renowned for his work on the Wearie-Phelan Structure, this book describes packing models and provides historical and biographical details of the key players in the field. The first edition was regarded by many as the best introductory/elementary book on the topic. Completely revised and updated, this second edition maintains its mathematical core and includes examples of packing problems in a range of disciplines and can be easily read by a non-specialist.

              Book Description

              Capturing the essence of the Southwest in 1915, Oliver La Farge's Pulitzer Prize-winning first novel is an enduring American classic. At a ceremonial dance, the young, earnest silversmith Laughing Boy falls in love with Slim Girl, a beautiful but elusive "American"-educated Navajo. As they experience all of the joys and uncertainties of first love, the couple must face a changing way of life and its tragic consequences.

              5 out of 5 stars First read in my twenties and thought it was wonderful.......2006-08-31

              Reading it again in my fifties, I still found it to be one of the best novels I've ever read. Laughing Boy has a strong self. He know who and what he is and is happy. The woman he loves knows two worlds, that of the Navaho and that of the Whites. She is attracted to both and despises both. This is her tragedy. Laughing Boy loves her,loses her but we know he will go on.

              2 out of 5 stars I don't understand why this won a pulitzer.......2006-02-10

              The story is sub-par at best, and written in a tedious and trite style. The plot development is slow, lacking any real action. Though I appriciate La Farge's sentiment, I think it is poorly expressed. The only thing I liked about the book was the character development, but that alone cannot salvage this book. Save your money and time and read Steinbeck instead. God I love Steinbeck.

              4 out of 5 stars Laughing Boy.......2005-04-02

              A sheltered Navajo boy (Laughing Boy) marries a Navajo girl (Slim Girl), who has had experience living in the white man's world; in fact, she continues to meet with her white lover only for what he gives her in material things (she actually despises him). She hopes Laughing Boy can help her return to the authentic Navajo ways, but she is killed by the jealous Red Man before this can happen. Highly praised for its authenticity, much of LaFarge's writing struck me as stylized. The novel won a Pulitzer Prize.

              5 out of 5 stars When Cultures Collide.......2004-02-22

              This 1930 Pulitzer Prize novel is a heart-rendering look at young lovers brought together at a time when their world is astir with changes of which neither of them can control nor understand. The emerging culture of Slim Girl who has been given a Christian education clashes with the traditional Navajo norms of Laughing Boy. LaFarge has given powerful glimpes into the lives of these people as it was being played out in the early years of the Twentieth Century. Within this context is a compelling love story that is near poetry as the author gives us an unvarnished look at their struggles.

              5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book.......2003-01-19

              My husband and I lived with the Navajos for 12 years. From 1950 to 1962. We lived in the most isolated parts of the reservation and got to know the Navajos well. I am a cultural anthropologist. This book describes the old time Navajos' way of life and how it was being destroyed by the superimposing Anglo culture, slowly, insidiously. It is also a love story. The Navajo landscape is realistic, every time the dialogue changes, it is written so I can hear a Navajo or a Hopi or an Anglo speaking.

              It is a powerful book and one that I have read many times. LaFarge is a poet and he spoke Navajo so he knew their pattern of thinking, their "world view" so to speak. I can't recommend it too highly.

              A Great Reference Source For Business Leaders and Their Professionals Each year billions of dollars of business credit and contracts are restructured under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In the process, substantial fortunes are reallocated. Debtors in Chapter 11 reorganizations range from some of the largest business entities in the world to small local businesses. When these companies file for protection from creditors under Chapter 11, new problems and opportunities are created. Mr. Alderman draws upon over twenty years of experience counseling clients to explain the key legal theories and offer practical and tactical advice to business leaders, stakeholders and their advisors. "This book should be a part of the libraries of management, practitioners and accountants. It is comprehensive." The Halyard Restructuring Group, LLC. "This well organized and comprehensive book will be a great asset for anyone on either side of a Business Bankruptcy." William Wright, President & Publisher, Park Ave Publishers Inc. "This book is a great reference source with a wealth of insightful information - No accounting firm's library will be complete without a copy." James E. Schultz, CPA, Sheptoff, Reuber & Co.

              Mr. Alderman has done a superb job covering the most important aspects of Chapter 11 reorganization. The book is a valuable guide for any business professional interested in following the corporate bankruptcy process. As the Director of Bankruptcy Services for a national consulting firm, I regularly train accountants on bankruptcy issues, and I have found this book to be a perfect resource for that effort.

                      From the supplier: Amdura Corp's succesful restructuring of its debts illustrate how companies can use the Chapter 11 mechanism to fight their way out of bankruptcy. The performance of the old-line machinery and specialty manufacturing company began to deteriorate after a disagreement between management and a major investor group led to a proxy fight in 1989. Amdura eventually filed for Chapter 11 protection in Apr 1990. The company's reorganization strategy involved filing a joint reorganization plan while keeping its separate three groups of debtors. This arrangement helped minimized the cost, delay and risk of litigation. With a skilled and persevering workforce, Amdura was able to pay its creditors and emerge from its bankruptcy reorganization. The reorganization has helped Amdura streamline and restructure its operations and lessen its debts.
