Book Description

Längst spielt der Handel die zentrale Rolle in der Volkswirtschaft, er kann heute als unersetzlich gelten. Zahlreiche Industrieunternehmen der Konsumgüterwirtschaft, vielleicht sogar die meisten, sind heute, gemessen an der Wertschöpfungsstruktur, nicht mehr primär Hersteller (sie ,lassen herstellen’, vornehmlich im Ausland), sondern sie sind primär Händler. Deshalb ist die Beschäftigung mit Handelsbetrieben und insbesondere mit Unternehmensnetzwerken in Handel, Distribution und Dienstleistung unerlässlich. Dieses Buch bietet dem Leser die hierfür notwendigen Grundlagen der marktorientierten Führung von Handelsbetrieben und berücksichtigt dabei auch neuere Konzepte wie z.B. den Bereich des Markenmanagements im Handel.

Book Description

Critical to the success of any organization is a characteristic called dynamism. Exactly the opposite of anhedonia, or listlessness, dynamism is identified with intensity, enthusiasm, and motivation, qualities that enable people in organizations to get things done. Psychologist Wayne Pace clarifies the meaning of dynamism and its various roles in organizational functioning, provides ways to enhance and measure it, and introduces to human resource professionals a new model of career progression based upon it. Better grounded in scientific principles and data than other books dealing with topics like vitality and enthusiasm and written in a direct, positive, credible, and easy to grasp style, Pace's book covers an unusually wide range of topics--from work systems to language and interpersonal style, to modes of thinking, to mindsets--all of which he sees as dimensions of organizational dynamism and all of which play crucial roles in saving the organization from anhedonia. He makes clear that we cannot design work systems that alone will compel outstanding performance. Instead, we must find ways to release the power of individual workers themselves. His book shows why work systems are so detrimental to enthusiasm and what can be done to reverse their effects. The result is an essential explication for human resource and organizational development specialists and an enlightening introduction for top management everywhere. Pace develops his ideas from a theory of credibility consisting of three dimensions: expertise or competence, trust or confidence, and dynamism or enthusiasm. Focusing his attention on the latter, he explores the underlying mindsets that affect decisions to devote energy to work. He introduces new practices, such as Altra Teams, E-prime language, and Natural Work Goals and explores the mental sets and perceptions that workers have, things that affect the amount of energy, enthusiasm, and vigor they can devote to doing their work. He goes on to explain four work perceptions--performance, opportunity, fulfillment, and expectations or aspirations--which he identifies as basic to the way modern workers approach their tasks. Not only does his book offer a theory and explanation of dynamism, but it also provides concrete instruments to measure it and how well it is developing in your own organization. He then introduces the concepts of organizational learning and learning organizations, and closes with a chapter containing incidents, cases, and personal reports that show how other organizations actually can--and do--release dynamism in their own work settings.

Good book for new owners.......2006-08-28

This is the best book available for the new millepede owner or those considering buying one. It's an easy to read book, filled with color photos. After research on the web I bought this book as a resource and to learn more. Highly recommend.

Poorly written and very unhelpful.......2004-05-27

In the introduction the author tells us he has kept a number of millipedes over a number of years. He then goes on to state; "Overall, I've had limited success" and "I admit to being confounded by some millipedes I've tried to keep". Thanks for the honesty, but I don't want to read your book if you don't know what you're talking about. In his section on care he talks about regularly removing dead millipedes from the tank. I don't know about other millipede owners, but that's not something that happens on a routine basis for me. He also says he has never had success breeding Giant Africans - from my own experience and from ever other source I've read these guys are happy to give you lots of babies. In fact, mine are mating as I write. Other major flaws in the book:

-The species he lists are only a few of those commonly available in the millipede trade.

-He has a whole paragraph on how it's bad to drop you millipede on the floor (though he once dropped one from about four feet and it was fine)

-His overall writing is unprofessional and wandering, he claims to know almost nothing with any certainty.

-There are 7 pages total in the book about centipedes, including one full-page photo and several half-page ones.

If you want to know about the basic care of millipedes, the common species, and where to buy them, go to:

http://www.geocities.com/millipedes_uk/

And seriously, unless you want the color photos, don't buy this book.

Rare but Mediocre.......2003-01-01

I am rating this book with 4 stars, even though I think that it leaves a lot to be desired regarding the care of millipedes. There are not many books on millipede care... so do get this one if you are interested in millipedes. However, this book does contradict itself in a couple of areas... and is limited in what it teaches... so do some web searches and find articles on the web regarding the care of millipedes. CentralPets.com has a report on Madagascan Orange Legged Millipedes, for example, that is very beneficial with many good points. Most people overclean their millipede enclosures... if you do not overfeed them, there is no need to keep cleaning; cleaning too much will kill them. Rotten Oak wood and branches, which many pedes like, must be thouroughly sterilized, though, before placing them into a terrarium... or various invertebrate enemies, such as unwanted centipedes, can enter your terrarium, killing the millipedes. Heating and freezing (in the freezer overnight) wood and branches... will help keep invertebrate enemies to a minimum.

not enough about centipedes.......2001-06-26

This is a beutifully illustrated book with lots of excellent pictures. The section dealing with millipedes is an accomplishment all by itself, not only because this is the first book to deal with millipedes, "there is no other" but it tells you all you could possibly want to know about millipedes. Unfortunatley if the author did not like centipedes (which he seems to state in the book) He should have only made this a book only about millipedes. I was dissapointed that there was only a very small section on centipedes near the end describing centipedes, but at least he does explain general care and a few species. If this book had shared it's pages equally with millipedes and centipedes i would have given it 5 stars. But if you really are a beginner and don't know much about millipedes and centipedes i recommend buying this book i'ts definatley worth the money.

Book Description

The idea that the universe is created out of sound or music (and therefore is music) is a very ancient one. In this book, Joscelyn Godwin brings together three contemporary German thinkers who exemplify this tradition in its modern variants: Marius Schneider, Rudolf Haase, and Hans Erhard Lauer. The selections draw on ancient Indian sources and mythology; Kepler's Platonic vision of a musical, geometric universe; and the evolution of the tone systems of music.

While every music lover senses the power and truth that reside in music, very few actually approach music as a path to cosmic knowledge. Godwin takes literally Beethoven's assertion that "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom or philosophy." Godwin writes, ". . .to penetrate the mysteries of music is to prepare for initiation into those fathomless mysteries of man and cosmos."

Book Description

Despite the boundless advances of modern science, much of the Universe still remains a mystery. Mysteries have a way of gnawing at the human mind. Mysteries demand to be solved. In seeking to unravel the mysteries of the Universe, scientists and philosophers have proposed bold speculations to explain those mysterious phenomena that lie at the edges of knowledge. The mysterious phenomena to which the author refers are those that have remained elusive to established fact and certainty. Such phenomena include the nature, structure, origin, and terminus of the well-ordered Universe. This book explores these phenomena through careful scrutiny which separates cogent conjectures from wild flights of fancy in order that these phenomena should be explained with the utmost accuracy.

Many of those speculations and conjectures proposed by contemporary science and philosophy to explain the Universe will prove useful. These are retained. But there will also be many conjectures in need of revision and many speculations that must be replaced. These speculations and conjectures that do not prove fruitful to the inquiry are revised.

With the rising popularity of UFO conspiracies and alien abductions, good books on low profile subjects such as cryptozoology have become scarce. Many people have relied on standards such as On the Track of Unknown Animals to explore the fringes of fauna, but Karl P.N. Shuker's From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings is a more budget-conscious option. An accomplished zoologist, Shuker bypasses the hype found in the tabloids and leaves cryptozoological celebrities such as Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster behind; he concentrates only on the rarest of the rare. Shuker also provides a revealing glimpse at the detective work involved in deciphering the identities of creatures whose existences refuse to be denied, but who have been proclaimed extinct or relegated to myth and folklore. He constructs a formidable argument for the existence of new animal oddities not yet recognized by science, even in the late 20th century, and cites important discoveries from the 1990s. From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings is sure to pique the curiosity of anyone interested in exotic specimens from the animal kingdom, and doesn't require a major financial investment or a degree in zoology.

Customer Reviews:

Rare Gems Just Waiting To Be Classified.......2007-04-05

Could the Dodo bird still be hiding out there? How about Blue Tigers in China? Some of the extremely interesting possibilities revealed in this book. Real can't put down reading, zoologist Karl Shuker is a leader of today's Cryptozoology investigation. Have enjoyed reading Mr. Shuker's articles in the Fortean Times for years.

Here Be Monsters.......2002-11-22

Cryptozoology, the study of undiscovered animals, is a relatively new science. One of its foremost pioneers is Karl Shuker, who has a doctorate in Zoology and Comparative Physiology from the University of Birmingham. Dr. Shuker has collected dozens of his cryptozoological articles in his book From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings. The book is a fantastic journey through every corner of our planet. Throughout the journey the reader encounters a parade of rarely seen creatures, including: whale-sized sharks, man-eating elephants, and blue tigers. Dr. Shuker's writing style is educated and fanciful. The result is a book that can be enjoyed by cryptozoological novices and veterans alike.

The Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot are perhaps two of the world's most notorious cryptozoological entities. Dr. Shuker presents a far more diverse group of lesser-known creatures. In fact, two of his chapters deal with newly discovered animals and proven hoaxes. This impressive collection of creatures would appeal to anyone interested in animals or the unknown.

Dr. Shuker uses thorough scientific research and eyewitness accounts in each of his articles. For example, in his chapter devoted to sharks Dr. Shuker describes an incident involving a very large shark: " They told him that their series of heavily weighted three-and-a-half-foot crayfish pots had been carried away once by a shark of ghostly white coloration and so extraordinarily immense that they estimated its length to have been anything between 115 and 300 feet." Dr. Shuker then goes on to explain that recent research on fossilized megalodon (prehistoric shark) remains have proven that sharks over 50 feet did indeed exist, a mere 11,000 years ago. Dr. Shuker believes the fishermen who saw the shark were shocked and therefore exaggerated the shark's length. Most of the creatures discussed in the book appear to be highly elusive and rarely seen by man. Others like the monster salmon of China, 33 feet in length, are alive and well.

From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings is skillfully divided into eighteen chapters. Each chapter discusses a certain type of monster, such as: mystery bears of the world, giant jellyfishes, and the graveyard of monsters. The book has many illustrations and contains illustration credits to help locate the source of an illustration. There is also a selected bibliography and an index of animal names. This book would be useful to zoology students, science-fiction writers, and passengers aboard a long plane trip. Dr. Shuker clearly explains scientific information and presents each animal with the enthusiasm of a proud father. The number of animals presented in the book is incredibly lengthy and richly diverse. It has provided countless hours of enjoyment, and the book itself has held up quite well, with minimal wear and tear.

From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings sheds light on a subject not usually discussed. With this book Dr. Shuker has made a significant contribution to the field of cryptozoology. Dr. Shuker does not limit his research to the common lake monster; he discusses the existence of the Golden Fleece and the macabre eating habits of sheep during food shortages (they bite the heads off young birds). Dr. Shuker's book is a sometimes frightful, thrill ride through the zoo of the unknown.

Not just for Cryptozoology buffs.......2001-12-29

Although I've always been big on the paranormal, and supernatural, and all things abnormal, this was my first strictly cryptozoology book and I thuroughly enjoyed it. It's not the sort of thing you sit down and read strait through, but I had a hard time putting it down. It's fascinating and extremely well written, and very informative. It was a stroke of luck that I happened to run across it in the bookstore, and I think that anyone with even the slightest interest will be more than pleased.

Extremely useful RPG resource.......1999-12-02

While it appears that most of the previous reviews were from dedicated cryptozoology buffs, I had a much more "normal" use for this book. I run a role-playing game called "Conspiracy X" and I had just purchased the Cryptozoology sourcebook only to be dismayed by the lack of ...er... noncommon creatures (although there was plenty of Nessie, Bigfoot, et al.). I found this book here by accident and bought it and I have to say that I was plesantly suprised. Extremely well written and intelligent with all kinds of facts and tidbits that can be easily dropped right into a game. I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to run an "X-Files"ish RPG.

Great Reading.......1999-06-02

I rank this book with Willy Ley's Exotic Zoology for delightful, yet level-headed reading that doesn't insult the reader's intelligence. Shuker ignores brainless sensationalism and writes with a mind that is at once open and analytical. His approach is that of a confirmed scientist who marvels at nature's capacity for producing known and yet-to-be revealed wonders. With a writing style that is relaxed and laced with subtle humor, "Flying Toads" is a book that is hard to put down and even harder to end.

Book Description

In tracking, a dog follows the scent left by a person walking through a field and finds one or more articles left along the way. Dogs have amazing scenting ability and love using their nose. As dogs develop their scenting ability and as handlers become adept at following their dog along a track, they join that special fraternity of tracking enthusiasts who experience the joy of completing an unknown track. The training method described here is a systematic technique that works for almost all dogs. It is a structured and careful method, leaving very little learning to chance. Because the dog must lead the handler down the track, motivational techniques are emphasized throughout the training process. The method prepares a dog and handler both for their first tracking test and the advanced TDX test. This training method is ideal for trainers who want a well laid-out plan that has a long history of success in training dogs to track. Throughout the book, you will find detailed descriptions of tracklayer and handler procedures as well as problem avoidance and problem solving techniques. A field ready map is included for each session to help the tracklayer lay the correct track for the dog.

Customer Reviews:

A GREAT book for the layman or the experianced!.......2006-09-30

No fanfare or complications. Just a simple book with simple terms and diagrams that anyone can understand. I have met Sil a few times at Earth Dog trials. VERY good dog trainer.

Wonderful from start to finish.......2006-08-26

I bought this book hoping for starter help with my first tracking dog. This has been a great asset to me and my friends. It was not written at a time when there was a VST title but if you can get to the TDX level then I think that is a great start.

for beginner.......2006-07-05

This is quite nice starting points, for more experienced there is some thoughts. But this is in general for people who hasn't tracked before.

Enthusiastic Tracking, The Step-by-Step Training Manual.......2004-07-30

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to track with any kind of dog. The method is designed for the dog to always have success, and it's fun for both owner & dog. I am fortunate to have this book in my library & also to have attended a seminar by the author & to have been given tracklaying pointers by him the first time I laid a track for a tracking test. I can attest that he is an excellent teacher!

Useful Pocket Map for New Orleans.......2002-04-05

Lonely Planet puts out a decent plastic covered "pocket" map of New Orleans. It has the street car stops on the map as well as a street index. I was disappointed it did not have an interesting sights or Hotel index but each of those are listed on the map itself. The French Quarter section is quite detailed. The surrounding area of New Orleans is a bit spotty. Created in 2001 so its fairly recent and up to date.

Great for a young person.......2007-07-20

I read this book when I was really young and loved it, it was intelligent and captured my imagination. I ended up reading it more than once

A relevant and beautiful short novel.......2007-07-20

I remember reading this for the first time years ago, and it simply captivated me. The story is one that I enjoyed, but also was a vehicle for a message about what we are doing to the planet. It isn't bitter, callous or harsh in its encounter with the destruction we are causing; rather than telling us what is happening, it SHOWS the damage that can happen without intent and how a beautiful world and people's lives can be hurt. I read this for the first time almost 10 years ago, and the story and the message are still with me.

My Sister Sif.......2007-02-15

I wasn't very impressed by this book. It was colorful and fairly well written, yet somehow, it seemed as lifeless as an artificial flower. It wasn't easy to get into and I lost interest before I'd even got halfway through. The story itself was bizarre, and for the most part, torpid; the casual indifference and bluntness to which we're treated to the sudden appearance of mermen, telepathic dolphins and even dwarves(!) only seemed to make it worse. After fifty or so pages, I skipped straight to the end, only to find more of the same. Heck, I only paid 99 cents for my copy and I still feel ripped off.

Intriguing and hard to put down!.......2007-01-17

I truly love this book. It was one of those books that held my interest the whole way through and was definitely worth the time. This story includes fantasy, adventure, a bit of romance, and a whole new way to look at mermaids. I really recommend it to anyone who loves reading!

Good fantasy for the younger readers........1998-11-29

There was a great cast of characters. I enjoyed the futuristic fantasy. I'm in seventh grade and found this book very intresting.
