Book Description

What is the relationship between occupational stress and job performance? The amount of money workplace stress is extracting from the economy is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Such estimates are based on the assumption that workplace stress leads to increased healthcare costs, higher rates of absenteeism and turnover, accidents, and lower levels of performance and organizational productivity. In Stress and Job Performance, author Steve M. Jex provides a comprehensive, research-based examination of the relationship between occupational stress and job performance. He presents a concise overview of the field, a clear explanation of terms and concepts, and a summary of relevant theoretical models of the stress process. He examines the relationship between major job-related stressors (such as workload, interpersonal conflict, and lack of control) and a variety of performance indices. In addition, he explores a number of other factors that may affect the relationship between occupational stress and job performance, including gender differences, age, personality, and job experience. The book concludes with a look at issues that need to be considered in future research investigations. Written in a non-technical, accessible style, Stress and Job Performance is recommended for students, scholars, and readers who do not have an extensive background in the behavioral sciences.

The First-Time Trainer: A Step-By-Step Quick Guide for Managers, Supervisors, and New Training Professionals

ASIN: 1567204546

Book Description

Today's workplace demands skills for a knowledgeable, productive use of information. Success, both personal and organizational, comes from finding what is essential and optimizing its effectiveness. Goad teaches readers how to swim in a potentially overwhelming sea of data. Information literacy--the ability to recognize the need for information, to locate, access, select, and apply it--was once an academic matter. Nowadays, this critical array of skills concerns anyone working in a knowledge-based environment. This easy-to-read, lucid guide attends to basic skills, thinking and decision-making, creativity enhancement, innovation and risk taking, computer literacy, subject matter literacy, learning how to learn, and securement of on-the-job help. As a special bonus, Goad discusses an unusual but highly relevant topic: how do we place work into the framework of our lives, and how can information literacy help? Both public and private sectors will find this an important resource for people at all organizational levels, making it a must have for anyone whose world is built on information.

Book Description

This book examines the quantitative role of respiration in the growth and productivity of major field crops, an issue of profound significance for theoretical and applied plant sciences. The biochemistry and physiology of crop plants are coupled to a functional model that considers respiration in terms of growth and maintenance components. Using this model as a framework for evaluating existing data, the author discusses the efficiency of crop respiration and the gains in productivity that may be made by manipulating respiration rate through breeding or management. The book also critically evaluates competing theories in areas of research still lacking data and provides an up-to-date summary of the literature on the subject. Readers will gain firm awareness of the important part respiration plays in the growth and carbon economy of crops, as well as of plants in general.

ASIN: 0890897719

Book Description

The Oxford Conferences are a series of triennial meetings that have focused on the role that astronomical phenomena have played in human societies, ranging from the applied (such as the basis for calendrics and orientations) to the ceremonial (the significance given the "ritual landscape" of the sky). These conferences serve as a meeting place for those working in anthropology, archaeology, history and prehistory, archaeoastronomy, and other studies of human cultures, who share a common interest in the importance of astronomical phenomena (or "skywatching") to traditional societies of the past and present.

Mankind's fascination with the sky has been a strong and often dominant element in human life and culture. The Fifth Oxford Conference explored this fascination among those cultures that can be best (or only) studied within the disciplines of archaeology and anthropology. Archaeoastronomy adds an extra dimension to these other disciplines and helps create a richer and more complete view of the past.

The papers in this volume are based on those presented at Oxford V and reflect the important interactions among the participants. One group looks at general questions in sociology or astronomy and provides parts of a framework on which the other papers can rest. The remainder of the papers deal with the specific studies in all parts of the world.

great gift.......2007-05-12

I gave this as a gift to my brother and he loved it. I never got to see the book myself because I shipped it off to him, but he said the pictures and information in the book was pretty cool. I think I may order one for myself.

Greatest Book Ever Written.......2007-04-12

Hard to tell, in my opinion its excellent with great photography and the stories are wonderful.

smashing good time with football history.......2007-01-24

if you are a fan of the game, this is for you.

I'm a fan and always will be. I got this book, mostly for myself, but also for my son, who someday I hope will be as big a fan as I am. I wanted to get something that will help to give him a visual history of the game and I think SI captured it perfectly here. Kudos to SI on this book as well as the baseball book.

Compared in price to other books of this quality, you can't help but feel you've beaten the house in this deal.

Touchdown!.......2007-01-18

I gave this book to my son for Christmas. It was a hit. The celebration was forgoten and all we did from then on was look and wow at this book. If you want a book that will really blow a football fan away, this is it.

Great Pix, Great Articles.......2007-01-18

I'm not a football person, but my teenage nephews are, and they couldn't put this book down on Christmas day after opening it. They were intrigued by the articles as well as the pictures - this hefty book had every football fan waiting for a turn to look at it. My son is mad that I didn't get one for our family.

I remember getting this book as a kid for christmas from my dad. Every christmas he would get me a book he thought I would enjoy. This is actually my favorite book from growing up. I must have read or looked through it hundreds of times. There is pretty much any information you would want to read about pertaining to the history of the Dallas Cowboys, everything from the creation of the franchise to season by season accounts. I think fans of other sports teams will enjoy reading this book. The information may be a little dated now but anybody that enjoys reading about the history of the NFL should enjoy it.

Defense is what wins football games, and this brilliant update of a sports instructional classic is perfectly suited to today's player, coach and fan. Here Bud Wilkinson , University of Oklahoma's famed former coach, analyzes the basic patterns and strategies employed in defensive football today.

Customer Reviews:

A bit quaint, but good.......2007-01-14

For all the talk about Xs and Os in today's football, there isn't that much mention of technique. Coach Wilkinson's book acts as a corrective. Linebackers are instructed to take thier first step backwards, tacklers are asked to aim for the belt buckle, and pass rushers can choose between The Swim, The Cross Cut and The Wide Loop. Not that the book is only about technique. There's discussion of the 3-4 and the 4-3, overs and unders, the four-deep secondary, and so on.

You don't however, here anything about zone blitzes or the Cover-2. To some extent, this isn't intended to be that type of book, but it's also a bit dated. Throughout, defensive tackles are called guards, and defensive ends are called tackles. On a couple of diagrams, cornerbacks are referred to as halfbacks.

There's something quaint about this book, but I suspect some NFL players could learn a few things from it.
