Book Description

Use the power of the Enneagram to improve workplace behavior!

The concept:

The Enneagram is a nine-point figure representing personality types and the interrelationships among them. The Enneagram system describes nine personality types and charts the interactions among the various types. Based on centuries of tradition, use, and recent research, the Enneagram theory has now been developed into a program that provides you with a solid base to help people understand how to work with the dynamics of various personality types in the workplace. It encompasses both an opportunity to appreciate and empower personal and professional style.

The basic tools:

The Enneagram Personality Portraits

Enhancing Professional Relationships

This book provides detailed background about the origins of the Enneagram, the characteristics of its nine personality types, and the interrelationships of the types.

Inventory and Profile®

This tool offers a way for people to find out more about themselves and their personality, and how they can enhance interactions with others. By answering a series of questions, your participants will be able to determine which of the nine personality types most closely fits them.

The Enneagram Without The Usual New Age Nonsense.......2001-11-02

A good book - clearly set out. I have to disagree with the negative review on this page. The white space, simple layout is a huge bonus for users who do not want to wade through page after page of padding. Authors take note.

I think this must be the Aspell behind the brilliant Aspell-Gilpin Profile which led me to search for more on the authors. If so, it seems the Aspells are the real thinkers behind the system. This book gives much less information on the types than the on-line version and I got confused by the fact that the personality types were given different names but it was useful background reading. The on-line version also dispenses with the enneagram 'star' and makes it easier to follow.

Fellow Brit Gilpin has written Unstoppable People which is worth a read and is much better than most of the motivational writing that I have read.

A Whole New World of Celebrating Others' Strengths.......2001-01-23

This book has almost everything you always wanted to know about understanding yourself and others in both the professional arena and in your personal life. There are many books about the Enneagram and many of them have a lot of information to plod through before getting to the heart of the message. The beauty and power of this book lies in the authors' abilities to capture the essence, the bottom line, of the nine personality types in clear and concise, phrases, and charts.

It only takes a couple of hours to read this book to get a vivid mental portrait of who you really are. Not only that, you can also get a clear picture of how you can most effectively and efficiently grow and develop yourself. And as for improved relationships with others, a whole new world of celebrating others' differences and strengths can open up.

The authors Patrick and Dee Dee Aspell say the Enneagram is a cutting edge system that "describes nine personality types and professional styles of thinking, feeling, acting, and relating." But there's even more than that. This book provides a framework for the appreciating and empowering of personal and professional styles. From this vantage point, it can be a springboard for a person and/or team to grow in many areas of development.

This book tells you the next steps you can take so you can eventually have all the strengths of all nine types in your reach.

Like me, perhaps in reading this book, you will also have many "a-ha" moments of deep insight and a feeling of new vistas opening up in front of you. The pages of this book seem to exude a real feeling that you can immediately put this information into practice in some area of your life, professional and/or personal.

Although there's a chapter for each personality type to be discussed in depth, the summary charts in the appendix are well worth the price of the book. You can almost read these charts and in a few moments figure out what type you and others are. But that's not a good idea. It's strongly suggested that a person complete an Enneagram Inventory and Profile test to determine his or her type. On page 111 of the book is information on how to order this self test.

Enneagram Personality Portraits: Enhancing Professional Rela.......2000-03-13

THE ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY PORTRAITS, Enhancing Professional Relationships by Patrick J. Aspell and Dee Dee Aspell, is an easy-to-read and very understandable introduction to the Enneagram personality system. It is unique in its business friendly approach to personal and professional development. The terminology, the application, and the physical appearance of the book and companion workbooks all lend themselves easily to the business environment.

The book describes the personality traits along with work, leadership, and thinking styles. This description immediately focuses in on those interested in using this system at work to become more effective. The description then goes on to include beliefs and principles, and motivation which appeals to the total person approach of self improvement. Finally the section on personal and professional development brings the work and personal aspects together in an easily applicable prescription for greater growth and effectiveness.

In the relationship section, Aspell and Aspell clearly explain how each type relates and communicates with others, how they engage in conflict management, and how to develop rapport with each personality type. After reading how each type relates and responds to others, one has a much better grasp of how to communicate with others both at work and at home.

The Summary Charts of Key Traits and Techniques for Matching Behaviors and Words for each type are quick reference guides in better understanding self and others. They bring very intricate and intellectual information together in a format that is user friendly for the beginning as well as the advanced Enneagram student.

The positive and empowering style of writing enables the reader to see gifts as well as challenges of personality in a accepting way, and points to directions of growth and decline as dual sides of life and personality that lead a person either toward a more fulfilling life, or toward a less fulfilling life. They liken the process to a description by Carl Jung termed "shadow and light", and point out how often the characteristics are the same - "they differ only in the degree to which they are exhibited in a particular situation."

No Nonsense Personality Profiling.......2000-03-02

This book is a major wake up call. Having been deeply suspicious of personality profiling during most of my professional life, and very critical of most of the leading methods - Patrick and Dee Dee Aspell gave me my first introduction to the Enneagram and it has changed my whole perception of how to get inside other people's worlds. While the book may be short of academic snobbery it (a GREAT PLUS) and short of complex jargon (a GREATER PLUS) for many so called 'experts' in the field - it is superb for people who simply want to understand people. Academic excellence written in an easily accessible style. Perfect. This book started an exploration of the Enneagram for me, which I now use extensively in my professional work, and I always come back to this book for straight forward, practical insights into how people tick.

Lack of Depth is an Unmitigated Disappointment.......1999-04-30

This 30,000-foot review of personality profiles suffers from a severe lack of depth and practical application. The authors manage to turn what should be a 5-page magazine article into 125 pages through the use of generous font-sizes, spacing and margins.

The text truly has no redeeming qualities. Definitions and characteristics of nine personality types are reasonably clear, but information/techniques on identifying which type you are (or your coworkers) is totally absent. Strategies for managing interrelationships are left out, except for a comment that "understanding types and managing relationships is important." Duh.

The lack of accolades on the back cover further should remind one that this book is best avoided. A major disappointment.

Product Description

Including native warm-season grasses in pasture systems makes good ecological sense, and this publication explores the benefits and challenges associated with their use. The uneven seasonal distribution of forage production from introduced cool-season species is a primary factor complicating pasture management, while native plant communities are more efficient at capturing solar radiation.

Product Description

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A928763. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Two aspects of nocturnal convection over Florida are examined in this study: A climatology of all warm season nocturnal cloud-to-ground lightning (COL) flashes over east central Florida, and nocturnal COL that develops near Cape Canaveral, Florida during undisturbed conditions. Seven years of warm season (May - October) radiosonde data (1992 - 1998) are used to categorize nights into one of five wind regimes based on the 1000-700 mb mean vector wind. Cloud-to-ground flashes are used to examine the spatial distribution of nocturnal lightning. Flashes are found to occur on 525 of the 825 nights with available soundings. Spatial maps of CGL flashes reveal that most occur over the Gulf Stream. Nights with flow parallel to the peninsula from the south are found to have the greatest percent occurrence of nights with COL flashes. Enhanced midlevel moisture (700 - 500 mb) increases the percent occurrence of nights having COL flashes. Midlevel lapse rates (850 - 500 mb) show little variation among the wind regimes. Streamline analyses reveal that the synoptic flow is crucial in determining thermodynamic characteristics of air over the study area. Data from the local lightning detection network reveal 74 nights during the warm season months of 1995 - 1997 with cloud-to-ground lightning within a 40 km radius of study. Surface analyses are used to eliminate nights with disturbed flow, while radar data are analyzed to eliminate pre-existing convection. A data set of nights without COL (NCOL nights) also is constructed.

Book Description

Love Canal. Exxon Valdez. Times Beach. Sacramento River Spill. Amoco Cadiz. Seveso. Every area of the world has been affected by improper waste disposal and chemical spills. Common hazardous waste sites include abandoned warehouses, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and landfills. These sites poison the land and contaminate groundwater and drinking water. A sequel to the bestselling Ecological Risk Assessment, Ecological Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites focuses on how to perform ecological risk assessments for Superfund sites and locations contaminated by improper disposal of wastes, or chemical spills. It integrates the authors' extensive experience in assessing ecological risks at U.S. government sites with techniques and examples from assessments performed by others. Conducting an ecological risk assessment on a contaminated site provides the information needed to make decisions concerning site remediation. The first rule of good risk assessment is "don't do anything stupid". With the practical preparation you get from Ecological Risk Assessment for Contaminated Sites you won't.

Description:
In recent years, methodology of ecological risk assessment has been developed and applied frequently for addressing various circumstances where ecological impacts are suspected or have occurred due to environmental contamination; however, its practice is very limited in Taiwan. In 1982, brown rice from rice paddy fields in Da-Tan, Tau-Yuan, was found to be contaminated with Cd and Pb due to illegal discharges of wastewater, known as the ''Cd rice'' incidence. Cadmium laden soil was transferred to a constructed landfill in an industrial park 15 years after the incident. Possible leakage of the landfill was suspected by committee members of a supervising board for the remediation process, and a preliminary ecological risk evaluation was requested. A possible risk scenario was that groundwater contamination due to the leachate containing Cd and Pb from the landfill could result in pollution of coastal water, and subsequently produce toxic effects to aquatic organisms. Chemical dissipation in groundwater systems was simulated and short-term chronic toxicity tests on larvae of three local aquatic species were also performed to determine the no-observed adverse-effect concentrations (NOAECs), as well as the predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs), of the two metals in the organisms tested. The hazard quotient (HQ), the ratio of predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) to PNECs, was used for risk characterization. A worst-case-scenario calculation showed that the maximum Cd concentration at 60 m and farther downstream from the site in the groundwater system would be 0.0028 mg l^-^1 with a maximum initial concentration of 0.65 mg l^-^1 in the leachate, while for Pb, the highest concentration of 0.044 mg l^-^1 would be reached at a distance of 40 m and farther, which was based on an initial concentration of 4.4 mg l^-^1 in the leachate; however, both cases would only occur 80 years after the initiation of leakage. A presumed dilution factor of 100 was used to calculate the PECs based on the maximum initial concentrations. The Cd and Pb's PNECs for three aquatic animals were 0.01~0.1 mg l^-^1, higher than their PECs in coastal water, resulting in HQs less than 1 for the scenario described. We concluded that if a leakage does occur, the ecological impact would be minimal because a majority of the metals will be retained in the soil phase and the remaining, if released into the aquatic system, cannot reach high enough concentrations to produce toxicity to marine animals.

Book Description

William Beaumont-Frontier Doctor is the life story of a Connecticut lad, born in 1785, who grew up to be a surgeon. During the years he spent in the United States Army, fate and his keen, inquiring mind came together. Beaumont saved the life of a trapper who had been shot. When the victim recovered there remained a hole, a window in the stomach, through which Beaumont performed simple experiments. Beaumont eventually discovered that digestion is a chemical process. This proved to be the single most important medical break-through in frontier history.
