Human Resources Management for Effective Schools.......2005-10-01
I have yet to receive my book and I plan to ask my credit card to credit my account. It has been well over 14 days, actually it has been close to 5 weeks, since the order was placed. I am disappointed in the service.

Book Description
This book provides a bridge from learning the theory of school administration to the practical problem solving in which school principals and other leaders engage.
This book continues to be based on the research indicating linkages between educational leadership and productive schools, especially in terms of outcomes for children. It supports the understanding that formal leadership in schools is a complex, multi-faceted task that requires continual learning and that effective school leaders must be strong educators focused on the central issues of learning, teaching, and school improvement. School leaders must also be moral agents and social advocates for the children and communities they serve while working with community stakeholders to create learning communities that value and care for others as individuals and as members of the educational community.
For those aspiring to become principals or hold leadership positions.

Practical Ideas.......2000-09-20
I used this book in my classroom. The reading was easy and the ideas were very practical. I was able to understand the difference between managers and leaders.
Book Description
This timely and comprehensive guide is designed to meet the security response needs of both educators and law enforcement personnel by detailing how an effective response plan can be developed to deal with the issue of school violence. By implementing the guidelines detailed in this book, those in responsible positions can help prevent the incalculable costs of death, facility destruction, disruption of operations, negative public perception, and the resulting embarrassment that these acts cause. The information presented will help reduce the amount of collateral damage to the threat area and adjacent areas. It is designed to expand the effectiveness and performance of special response police forces, fire department personnel, medical aid personnel and ancillary support personnel, as well as provide a comprehensive guide to school administrators and other educators who are concerned with school safety issues. The main idea behind this book is the principle of "saving lives when all other proactive means have failed." It focuses on the elements of rapid containment, area control, and the re-securing of the affected area. The author emphasizes that time is an essential factor: the longer the perpetrators remain active, the higher the likelihood that additional people will be killed. In addition, the book is designed to generate a detailed analysis of possible contingency plans for respective emergency responders. An analysis is also included that is site specific and which will help to streamline the planning efforts of all emergency responders, thus heightening personnel survivability and mission success. It is a must-read for those who are responsible for school safety and security.

Waste of trees.......2006-04-30
Soon after starting I found myself paging ahead in hopes of finding something worthwhile for my backpacking quite soon i was at the end: i got up and threw the book in the trash; I NEVER throw books in the trash..........
A pointless waste of innocent trees, living things died to make the paper for this, sad, very sad.
Vacuous opinion, little to no useful advice. Buy Fletcher or another, but anyway choose an author that actually wants to help rather than merely pontificate emptily.
Innovative, informative and encouraging.......2005-09-07
Ray Jardine has written my favorite book on backpacking. I was expecting a nutty, opinionated rant. What I found instead was an incredibly positive, articulate and informative book. I've been backpacking regularly for years but I can honestly say that this book taught me a lot and opened my eyes more than once. It's not critical of other backpacking styles and it doesn't create fears- it dispels them. After reading this book, I was so hyped up by his positive attitude and deep love for the outdoors that it made me want to get out even more. He points out that we've been taught to fear the outdoors by equipment manufacturers who want us to buy all their bombproof, leadweight gear to deal with improbable situations on the trail. Much of this gear is not optimally functional and comes between us and the outdoor experience. He liberates us by teaching us to make our own gear and modify what we've bought.
He deals with many aspects of backpacking not even touched upon by larger books like "Complete Walker IV". "Beyond backpacking" is largely dedicated to backpacking practice, rather than just a long gear list. That's exactly why I learned so much even after having read two books by Chris Townsend and one by Colin Fletcher.
If you go into this book having decided that lightweight backpacking is a fad, you're not going to like it. This book is not a fad, however, and Jardine doesn't even use the trendy word "ultralight". After reading this book, my pack went from 25 pounds to 10 and my daily mileage has doubled with no extra effort. The numbers are just numbers to me though, the important thing is that I feel my new backpacking style has brought me closer to what I go outdoors to enjoy.
He does have some 'mystical' moments that might not appeal to some, but I just see it as him expressing his great love of the outdoors. If it bothers you, just ignore those passages. He also comes to a few conclusions I disagree with, but these were minor. The book might be a bit too advanced for someone just getting started.
Overall, an extremely liberating and encouraging book! I highly recommend it!
hippy dippy blowhard.......2005-07-12
Ray approaches "the ultralight philosophy" like a recovering alcoholic preaching about the evils of "demon rum". The one thing all these ultralight writers have in common is they once carried ridiculous loads like sherpas, and finally saw the light. Who was ever that idiotic? Most of us figured out long ago that lighter is better, and I've never seen anyone outside of a paratrooper carry 60 plus lb. loads. He reminds me of a kid I knew in 5th grade that maintained he invented the word (insert common racial epithet).
Jardine brings nothing new to backpacking, except for the digusting habit of hiking in biking shorts. For the most part his book consists common sense tips on lessening the load, interspersed with egomaniacal psuedo-spiritual diatribes. Other highlights include some incredibly stupid thoughts on giardia, mosquitos and food.
Save your money, buy Colin Fletcher's book. He's a good writer first, backpacking guru second.
I can't believe I wasted my money on this.......2005-01-15
After hearing of Ray Jardine's hiking exploits (AT, PCT, CDT), I decided spring for his book. This book is full of Ray Jardine's personal opinions that are packaged as "facts". In particular, his outright slander against all commerical food borders on the absurd, and he provides no evidence for most of it, other than referencing some obscure books by guys who probably wear tinfoil hats. And, the Ray Way is apparently the only way to hike (so says Ray).
Don't waste your time or money. There are far better guides out there that cover lightweight backpacking.
must study.......2004-11-16
i am an experianced outdoors man and new to the world of backpacking. this book has all the info on how to pack how to organize a extended trek and invaluable concepts for any beginer or seasoned hiker. there is chapters on potential dangers of wilderness packing, ticks poisonous plants, animal danger, hygiene, and how to cope w/ each of the elemants. if you're experianced in backpacking it may change you're point of view or hiking style all together. i highly recomend this book to any one new to this style outdoor adventure. :)

Dance Magic (Here Comes Heavenly)
ASIN: 0671036289 |
Book Description
HERE COMES HEAVENLY...
She's cool, she's punk, she's Heavenly, our nanny for my baby brother, Tyler. And she makes magic. So who'd ever believe she is afraid of flying?
PASTABILITIES
Hi, it's me, Kit Rand. I thought I was getting friendly with Jessica Huffington of the fabulously wealthy Huffingtons. Then I found out she was really just using me to get to my gorgeous stepbrother, Chance. So it was sort of a relief to hear that Mom has been offered a big job in Rome and she wanted the whole family to fly over for vacation and see if we liked it. I mean, at least we'd be out of Jessica's reach, right? Mom and Dad had to fly over to Italy first, and Heavenly was supposed to bring us later. But it turned out that not only had Heavenly never been in a plane, she had hardly been out of town! The thought of flying turned her into a basket case! Chance and I had to take over.
Heavenly was so freaked she almost used her magic powers to shut down the airport. But we finally took off, and when we got to Rome, guess who was waiting there for us? Jessica! But then I met handsome Rafael...

Anyway, Mom and Dad got a new job and they got to go to Italy. Heavenly suppose to bring me and the others later. but heavenly was afraid of the thought of flying. So me and Chance take over because we're the oldest. Well, when we got there, guess who we found? Jessica 'Know it all' Huffington was there. Jessica such a mean person. She was suppose to be my arch enemy and she got a crush on my gorgeous stepbrother and she aws trying to get through him by using me. And I thought she was wanting to be my friend and how very wrong I was. And she not the only one we met in Italy but also gorgeous, handsome hunk name Rafael....
