Book Description

"This book is written for the manager who wants to make their company more flexible, more competitive, more successful, and a more satisfying place to work—what we call the High Performance Enterprise. It explains how this kind of enterprise can be created through two interrelated processes: one strategic and one people-oriented. . . . [U]ntil now, no books have simultaneously provided (1) a process for creating the High Performance Enterprise, and (2) a process for linking the people side of the company to the business strategy. Our goal is to do both, and to provide a model for tying both processes together. Whether you're skimming this book for a few good ideas or seeking a complete battle plan, we hope that you will find in these chapters the tools you need to change your company into a High Performance Enterprise." —from the Introduction

In today's fast-paced, rapidly growing business environment, survival truly does depend on being the fittest. For companies, this means performing at the highest level possible to be more flexible, more competitive, and ultimately, more successful than the rest of the field. Attaining—and maintaining—peak performance may be easier said than done, however, as bold initiatives once thought to be the answer have fallen short of expectations and yielded less than stellar results. What, then, is the solution? In The High Performance Enterprise—now completely revised and expanded—management consultant Donna Neusch and operations manager Alan Siebenaler shed some much-needed light on the ongoing dilemma of improving performance and sustaining long-term standards of excellence.

For the past several years, companies have strived to change the way work is performed and business is conducted, trying everything from TQM, teams, and Kaizen to QFD, right-sizing, and activity-based costing. Yet, despite these various techniques, results have been less than managers have hoped. Why the shortcomings? In most cases, the reason has been that people systems, including work design, compensation systems, and team structures, have either been ignored, ineffective, or counterproductive—costly mistakes that need to be corrected if a company is to succeed.

The High Performance Enterprise, Second Edition emphasizes the crucial role of people systems in the overall performance improvement program, examines its relationship with another important component—strategic direction—and shows you how to tie them together seamlessly to achieve optimal results. With complete details on both subprocesses, you'll learn about key concepts that are integral to strategic direction, such as mission, values, and vision, as well as the basics needed to turn this direction into action.

To help you strengthen and reinvent the people side of your business, you'll find a proven 10-step process that incorporates managing performance and compensation, defining flexibility and teams, developing staffing strategies for future skills, and planning for implementation, among other fundamentals.

Packed with helpful case studies, numerous real-world examples, and practical applications from the field, The High Performance Enterprise, Second Edition offers new solutions for age-old problems: how best to improve performance and increase return on compensation dollars. Essential reading for all managers.

Book Description

Throughout his career Sir Robert Wilson has demonstrated that advances in a wide variety of fields in astrophysics and laboratory physics are achievable through the application of fundamental plasma spectroscopy. His work has included: optical studies that probed the nature of interstellar dust and first revealed the existence of O star winds; vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray diagnosis of fusion plasmas; rocket ultraviolet and X-ray observations of the Sun; and the conception, development and use of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite which has contributed greatly to stellar, interstellar and extragalactic astrophysics. This volume contains reviews honouring Sir Robert and reflecting his interests.

Gorgeous photographs, excellent information, easy to use.......1998-11-24

This book is a very useful guide to a large variety of Florida plants, as well as a superb collection of truly stunning photographs. It can be used for simple visual identification, but its organization by family and its binomial key make it user-friendly for the botanist as well.

Book Description

How to enjoy a day at the races-and bet to win!
The last two years have seen a record number of Americans tune in for climatic Triple Crown races featuring Smarty Jones and Funny Cide; in 2004, television viewership jumped a whopping 61 percent over the record set in 2003, and the Belmont Stakes race itself drew a record crowd of more than 120,000! This easy-to-understand guide shows first-time visitors to the track how to enjoy the sport of horse racing-and make smart bets. It explains what goes on at the track, what to look for in horses and jockeys, how to read a racing form and do simple handicapping, and how to manage betting funds and make wagers that stand a good chance of paying off. Complete with coverage of off-track and online betting, it's just what anyone needs to play the ponies-and win!
Richard Eng (Las Vegas, NV) is a racing writer and handicapper for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a columnist for the Daily Racing Form, and the host of a horseracing radio program in Las Vegas. He was formerly a part of the ABC Sports team that covered the Triple Crown.

Customer Reviews:

Great Resource!.......2007-08-25

This book has taught me alot about horse racing, and had definitely aided in my enjoyment of the sport and helped me win some money! There are some chapters that are a little boring with unnecessary info.

Excellent For Starters.......2007-06-30

I gave this as a gift to my mother before several trips to the races, and after completing it, I was pleased to find she was doing basic handicapping correctly. This book doesn't get deep into hard-core handicapping, but for most people who enjoy the races as an occasional fun day out, it puts all those numbers in the program or the racing form into perspective... making for a more enjoyable experience! Well done.

And Down The Stretch You Come, With Betting Knowledge.......2007-02-20

With the Kentucky Derby about one week away, it will be like NCAA March Madness where even the casual of sports fans is going to have an opinion on the outcome.

But maybe you will want to take that opinion one step further and place a bet at the local race track or OTB that's simulcasting the race. This book will help you learn the nomenclature associated with wagering on the races and the nuances to betting.

Author Richard Eng guides the reader through the basic bets like win, place and show, but really earns high marks by delving into the exotic bets - like exactas, trifectas and superfectas - where betting the same money as you would on the traditional trio may yield much higher payouts.

The book is not how to handicap races, which is the art or reading a racing form or researching with other material to select runners for your various bets. It purely focuses on understanding what bets are possibly available for the races at your local tracks or on the simulcasts.

And with confidence, you'll be able to march up to the teller and state - for the record - "In race five I'd like an exacta box with with 2 and the 6," just like a pro. And through the help of Eng you will certainly understand it just as well or better than that "expert" who's next in line.

Five stars for the target audience: "Dummies".......2006-11-29

This is a great book for the absolute begginner, first time track experince. For the enthusiastic hobbyist like myself the book only gets two stars.

I thought the pull out cheat sheet in the front of the book was irresponsible, suggesting a sixteen dollar play for the pick 6. I believe two dollars is okay, because it's like buying a lottery ticket, however a minuim of a 128.00 is needed. Anything else is just throwing away money. The suggested amount for the superfecta and pick 4 were off base too.

The book was very hard to read, as it seemed like every chapter the author was just saying the same thing over and over again. Although the book explains to the reader the different types of handicapping methods, it does not teach you how to handicap. Remember the book title is "Betting on Horse Racing" not "Handicapping on Horse Racing".

Now for what I liked about the book. Great glossary and index, something that all horse racing books that I've read lacked. I enjoyed chapter 17, which covered handicapping tournaments. This is something I've never tackled and find interesting after reading. Chapters 19 and 20 covered Harness racing and Quarter horses. I prefer throughbreds because I understand it and find it more enjoyable, but if I ever decide to bet on these types of races I will refer to these chapters. Chapter 25, the ten best race tracks to visit, was also interesting. I'm fortunate to have two of these in my back yard, and in the future I would like to visit the authors other eight picks.

I bought this book after I selected another book and needed to spend more to avoid the three dollars shipping and handling. So factoring that in 10.59 was not a bad price. The amazon advertised 13.59 is'nt bad either, however I would not purchase the book for the suggested 19.99 cover price (not worth it).

In all, good book to have for begginers. Also a good book to have for experinced horesplayers who have non horse playing friends that want to tag along. Much easier to let them borrow the book over night then to have them harrassing you at the track like a little kid with thier questions.

The other do it yourself series KISS and Complete Idiots Guide do not have books on this subject, instead there covered in chapters of other books. KISS Guide to Gambling, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Gambling Like a Pro, respectfully.

Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies.......2006-05-10

I found this book to be just excellent. After being invited to the Kentucky Derby by some folks who own a Kentucky horse farm started in 1867, I wanted to learn more about racing and betting before I went. I was a complete novice, having been to Saratoga several times betting on horses with cool sounding names and always losing. The book goes through everything you need to know about racing and betting. Not only did I win several races before the Derby, but I actually won the Derby with a bet on Barbaro! I made quite a reputation for myself as a handicapper!

Book Description

Fourteen-year-old Rachel remembers little about her brother, Jake, except that he died in a car accident when she was seven and he was seventeen. Her parents rarely talk about him, but his presence in the family can be felt and his room has been left untouched. It's by means of Jake's journal that Rachel begins to know her brother and learns that his death was a suicide. With candor and humor, Rachel filters Jake's anguished journal entries through her own experiences – her relationship with her parents and grandmother; the departure of her best friend, Adrian; and her growing involvement with the likable son of family friends who may be as troubled as Jake. In unraveling her family's secret and examining her own shortcomings, Rachel gains sympathy for her parents, realizing that they are all survivors.

Kate Banks explores inner lives with exquisite sensitivity and precision. Sometimes funny, often sad, but painfully true, Walk Softly, Rachel is a story of love, loss, and letting go.

Customer Reviews:

Sensitive and thoughtful..........2005-11-09

This is a really nice book. Rachel wanders into her dead brothers room and happens upon his journal. Journal entries are combined with happenings in Rachel's life to illustrate how hard it is not only to truly listen to one another, but how hard it is to let go when the time comes.

I was expecting more from Jake's journal, that he had some sort of deep, horrible secret, but that wasn't to be. Thinking about it, there was a lot of me in Jake- or, I should say, the teenager I was with horrible undiagnosed and untreated depression and anxiety. Life was rough for me, people kept pushing me without giving me direction and without acknowledging that I needed help, and it all felt like some huge horrible out-of-control whirlpool, much like Jake describes. Hard to relive that kind of stuff.

But it's a good story, one that gently leads the reader to the conclusion, without being condescending or in-your-face as some teenage novels about death can be. Very good, I highly recommend this.

Awesome.......2005-07-31

My mom wanted me to read this book, mainly because my name is Rachel. As an avid reader, I jumped out at the opportunity immediatley, and I'm glad that I did too. I really enjoyed how fast paced and suspenseful the story was. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Walk Softly, Rachel.......2005-02-25

Four teen-year-old Rachel lost her brother sever years ago. She went into his old room one night and found his diary. She decided to read the diary so that she could get to know her brother more. Everyone was always telling Rachel how her brother was the most prefect person in the world. They always talked about how he was a local track star and an A+ student. Rachel had to find out for herself if all of this was true. When she read her brother's diary she found out that, surprisingly, all of that gossip was not true. Jake (Rachel's brther) was not the perfect person that everyone saw him as. He hated the people around him and most of all, he hated himself. All that Jake wanted to do was die, so on the night of graduation' Jake floured his car and drove himself off of a cliff. Meanwhile, Rachel had many problems too. Her best friend ,Adrien, was leaving town for Africa, and her parents were talking about moving. In the book, Rachel becomes best friends with her mom's best friend's son. His name is Bowman. Bowman is a senior in high school, the same age that Jake was when he died. Bowman is not sure what he wants to do with his life, whether or not he wants to go to college, or if he wants to get a job. Bowman has alot of anger bottled up inside. He is feeling pressured from everyone, so he burns down a historical mill in the town as a way to purify hus feelings and get rid of all of that bottled up anger. He then has to be put on trial (With Rachel's mom as the judge of that trial) to decide on whether or not he will graduste. I really liked this book. It was very practicle in the scense that it dealt with realistic issues. The book was really good for teenagers because they could easily apply themselves to it. I give Walk Softly, Rachel five stars!

Walk Softly Rachel.......2004-02-11

ýWalk Softly Rachelý
Can you imagine losing your brother, then your best friend moves away, and you share the same name as your mother and grandmother? Well that is the life of Rachel the 3rd. At the age of seven Rachel had lost her brother and then at the age of thirteen her best friend Adrian moves away to Africa. Rachel thought that nothing in her life was exceptional and that she herself was nothing but a string bean. Through out the entire book Rachel is convinced the death of her brother was her fault because at the age of seven she hardly knew her brother. That is until she meets and falls for her enemyýs brother, Bowman. Bowman was a sixteen-year young man who had no idea that Rachel felt the way she did, and could hardly care less untilý Well I donýt want to give it a way. Then Rachelýs family thinks that they want move, and Rachel thinks that itýs a bad idea because all of their memories of Jake [her brother] were in this house and she and her brother had grew up in this house, she told her parents that their spirits were melted into this house. So I think this book is very good and is readable for middle school kids and adults because it deals with real life situations that happen in every day life.
