                        The study explored the perception of executive coaching among the chief executive officers (CEOs) of America's largest 500 companies as shown on Fortune magazine list of April 15, 2002. This study utilized an instrument of 12 questions. The questionnaire was sent to the CEOs of the top 500 American companies. A cover letter and a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope were provided. Attribute responses were coded and analyzed using several descriptive statistical tools.

                        Out of the 500 targeted CEOs, 143 participated in this study. Seventy-six percent of the respondents demonstrated a good understanding of the basic concepts of executive coaching. Eighty-three percent were able to distinguish coaching from consulting, 61% stated that coaching can make their life somewhat better, 49% agreed on the idea of hiring executive coaches, and 32% declared that they had hired coaches. Those who never hired a coach showed a great deal of willingness (37%) to hire one. Sixty-two percent of the respondents indicated a preference for coaches from outside their organizations, 51% would search for one through human resources, 31% preferred sites off their company premises for coaching sessions, and 43% would keep their coaching relationship confidential. Thirty-nine percent of the participants expressed the belief that coaching should not be limited to a specific management level, and 37% said they supported research related to executive coaching. Based on these findings, executive coaching can be considered as a worthwhile investment. Future studies may take a closer look at the details and characteristics of the coaching session, and may explore what is called the "trusted advisor," someone who is believed to be much closer to the client than is the coach.

                          Book Description

                          Can developing countries meet the food requirements of their growing populations without jeopardizing a natural resource base that is already under great stress? Can increases in food production achieved in the past two decades be sustained in the next two decades? Can developing countries achieve freedom from hunger and malnutrition for their entire populations? How can food security be reconciled with environment quality in an industrializing society? Leading authorities, from soil scientists to economists, address these critical questions in Food Security and Environmental Quality in the Developing World. With a focus on India, this book reviews the state of natural resources, fertilizer and energy needs, and the potential importance of biotechnology as they affect all developing countries. It then addresses issues pertaining to water quality, agricultural chemicals, and pesticide residues on food. Part Three examines water harvesting, post-harvest food losses, storage and processing of animal products, and sustainability and inequality issues. The next sections deal with poverty alleviation, microfinance, gender equity, policy issues, and the role of the public sector. Finally, the book considers emerging issues and priorities. Developing countries have achieved an impressive increase in total food production over the past two decades, but at a high cost to environmental quality. As the populations of these countries continue to grow, soil degradation, pollution and contamination of natural waters, deteriorating air quality, and growing dependence on expensive and diminishing fossil fuels become increasing concerns.

                              5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of province's waterfalls.......2006-08-05

                              Few people in Ontario, much less the rest of Canada, realize there are substantial waterfalls outside of the west, north and, perhaps, Quebec. This book goes a long way toward rectifying that.

                              Author Mark Harris divides the province into 5 districts -- Algoma, cottage country, Golden Horseshoe (around the western end of Lake Ontario), Lake Huron and Ottawa Valley -- and uses George Fischer's mostly excellent colour photographs to show us what this province has to offer.

                              Together, they cover at least 100 waterfalls, including more than a dozen in the Hamilton/Ancaster area (who knew an area best known for steel mills has such natural wonders?)

                              Each waterfall has a two-page spread including detailed driving instructions, fact boxes including rating, size and nearest settlement, plus a short essay on the waterfall and its history.

                              Is the book useful? You bet. It quickly became my prime resource when I want to photograph waterfalls. (Another resource:Waterfalls The Niagara Escarpment, by Jerry Lawton and Mikal Lawton. The pictures aren't as good, but it's still quite useful).

                              4 out of 5 stars Niagara - Mad Waters.......2007-01-10

                              A great and very fun read for the Niagara Falls lover or history buff.

                              5 out of 5 stars wonderfull read, it brings forth the true power of niagara.......2003-06-20

                              This book absolutly keeps you intrested from the first page to the last. After a recent trip to the Falls ( having not been there since a 9 yr old kid) i was captivated by the wonder of the falls and the respect it comands. I wanted to know more, not just everyday facts, but the inside stories and how lives are affected by the wonder of Niagara. this book captures that and makes the reader gain a respect for the falls and for all those who dare to take on the wonder of it. The stories of those who tept fate at the falls are intriguing and very well told. Again it gives you an added appriciation for the wonder and power of such an amazing place. Anyone with an Intrest in the falls and wants to know more about it and how it affects people has to read this book.

                              5 out of 5 stars In the Mad Water: Two Centuries of Adventure and Lunacy at N.......2000-09-30

                              Having grown up just a few miles from the falls and working there for four summers, I've seen and heard first hand many accounts of lives lost tempting fate on this incredibly dangerous river (both upper and lower). Perhaps having been a local I have a better appreciation and respect for the Niagara. But I am constantly amazed at the stunts and stupidity people will undertake trying to conquer this obviously unconquerable landmark. After each account you'll be asking yourself the same question locals have for years... what was that guy thinking?

                              5 out of 5 stars Completely Captures a Feeling.......2000-09-03

                              This is the first book on Niagara that has captured both the fact (which many books do quite well) and the FEELING of the place. I grew up on Grand Island, just upstream from the Falls, and growing up on 'that' water was different from growing up on any other, because you always had the nagging sense that four miles away was certain death. When you went fishing, you were afraid to fall asleep for fear of waking up in the Rapids; when you went swimming, there was always the unreasonable notion that somehow the river would not let you get back to shore. TW Kriner is the first person I've ever read to capture a sense of the ominous presence of the Falls just in the background of daily life on the Niagara Frontier.

                              5 out of 5 stars Triumph and Tragedy at Niagara Falls.......1999-08-27

                              True stories about gut wrenching tragedy and heart pounding rescues that will leave you on the edge of your seat awaiting the outcome of yet another victim that has fallen prey to the beautiful but sometimes deadly river.

                              T.W. Kriner's style of writing and attention to detail will leave you feeling like your IN THE MAD WATER with them. A must read for anyone interested in the disasters and sometimes bizarre history of Niagara Falls.

                              And if that wasn't enough check out T.W. Kriner's previous book JOURNEYS TO THE BRINK OF DOOM and he will take you there and back with more tantalizing accounts of mystery and mayhem that have made the falls famous.

                                      On November 12, 1993, eight men met in Denver, Colorado, to decide who was the greatest fighter in the world. They fought one-against-one in an octagonal cage where they could punch, kick, knee, elbow, head butt and choke. "There are no rules!" proclaimed the organizers. The Ultimate Fighting Championship was born-and the mystique of traditional martial arts had died.

                                      For thousands of years, the fighting arts had been shrouded in mystery and deceit. Secrets were jealously guarded, while blood-curdling claims were made of lethal techniques and even supernatural powers. Each style or system asserted that it was the best, its masters unbeatable.

                                      By matching experts in different arts against each other, the Ultimate Fighting Championship exploded many of these myths. Black belts and flashy moves proved no match for the skill and technique of a new breed of athletic warrior.

                                      In just over a decade, no-holds-barred fighting-otherwise known as mixed martial arts-has gone from a novelty spectacle to a worldwide sport. It has produced its own superstars like the Gracie family, Ken and Frank Shamrock, Maurice Smith and Randy Couture. It has also attracted massive condemnation from the media and run the gauntlet of police raids and banning orders. Its critics labeled it "human cockfighting." It was pursued from state to state, excoriated by campaigners and banned by politicians. Through it all, the sport has continued to thrive, spreading across the globe.

                                      Author and journalist Clyde Gentry has interviewed more than 100 key figures to produce the definitive account of the world's most controversial and misunderstood sport and of the fighting men who dare to enter the octagon.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Great behind the scenes look at MMA's rise .......2006-12-23

                                      If you are a fan of MMA (mixed martial arts) and want to know how the sport got to where it is today, you will find this book engrossing. When the sport first started, it faced legal and financial obstacles at every turn. Many legislators wanted to ban it as "human cockfighting." The early promoters had to deal with technical glitches, unpredictable (outside the cage) fighters, corrupt government officials, even crime syndicate interference. When you know more of the story, you have to admire the folks who persevered through all that to get the sport to where it is now. It is a story rich with interesting characters, grudges, betrayals, and also honor and some humor. The writing is clear. The amount of inside information is surprising. If you are interested in the business side of this sport, you will definitely enjoy this book.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Exhaustive study on MMA .......2006-06-21

                                      As a graduate student, I've come across a lot of "scholarly books" which, for the most part, establish the author as the sole authority in some particular field or subject area. Freud to psychoanalysis; C.S. Lewis to Christianity; Herb Kliebard to Education; Clyde Gentry to MMA...perhaps. Nonetheless, I think this book makes him the foremost authority on the history of MMA.

                                      The book follows the rise of MMA, with great detail and with behind-the-scenes information. Each chapter is rich with detail and explanations on the various complexities of the world of MMA. This is a must read for any MMA fan.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Homerun.......2006-03-24

                                      Book was great in capturing the colorful, carny conception, and the bailing wire way the mma craze started in the US. Really just a history of the UFC, but great anecdotes and behind the scenes factual gems.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Excellent read!! SO much you didn't know about the sport!!.......2005-07-28

                                      Clyde does a fantastic job with No Holds Barred. I bought the newer edition in paperback and it has been an excellent read. He hold no punches in exposing all levels of the sport including behind the scenes politics, rivalries, challenges to traditional martial arts, and potentially "worked" matches in the sport as few as they are.

                                      My only criticism is he was very in depth up until UFC Japan and then rushed through after that covering 20 or so UFC's in 15 pages or less. More behind the scenes about Pride would also be good. He might consider breaking into 2 Volumes at his next publishing to help with this...

                                      All in all well done though Clyde. And this is coming from on of the forefathers in MMA information as I ran the very first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu training association website in 1995!!

                                      Thanks for an enlightening read...

                                      5 out of 5 stars Well researched.......2004-09-03

                                      It's a shame this book is out of print as it is well researchs and contained a great aggregation of facts of the early days of NHB. As a long time fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the subject. I was humbled in my knowledge as Clyde's behind the scenes knowledge rapidly broadened my perspective.

                                      Well done, and get this back in print!

                                        4 out of 5 stars Much better than I expected........2000-03-23

                                        To be honest, I didn't expect much from this book; I bought it because I am a fan of the author's Roswell High series. However, I found this title to be suprisingly good. There wasn't much action, but the characters were likable, and I really enjoyed the ending. Even though I had never been in a situation like either Julia or Maggie, I could still relate to them. I only had one question: The book seemed to focus just as much on Maggie as Julia, so why was it called Julia?

                                        5 out of 5 stars A modern day Parent Trap!.......2000-02-27

                                        I really loved this book! It starts out with two look-alikes, Julia and Maggie who are both dreading their Sweet Sixteen birthday parties, but for different reasons. They may look alike but they're from different worlds. Julia, is a rich girl from New York who feels like her life is being ran by her parents. They have her whole life planned out. Maggie is from a different part of New York, your typical fun girl. But her mother left her when she was born, and to her surprise, she's just going to show up on her Sweet Sixteen! Both girls are having troubles and on the morning of their Sweet Sixteen (the book takes place on just one day) and they decide to switch places! I recommend this book to everyone!
