Personality and the Prediction of Job Performance: More Than the Big Five: A Special Issue of Human Performance (Human Performance, Volume 17, Number 3, 2004)
Manufacturer: Lawrence Erlbaum ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0805895302 |
Book Description
The three primary papers in this special issue explore personality measurement in both directions, that is, more narrow and specific and more broad and heterogeneous. The first paper reviews research on conditional reasoning, with a focus on the construct of aggression. Next, tolerance for contradiction is explored, which is defined as a mode of thinking that accepts and even thrives on apparent contradictory information. The last primary paper covers core self evaluation, which combines measures of four traits: locus of control, self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, and emotional stability. The special issue concludes with provocative and insightful critique and commentary of the three primary papers. It notes some important points of criticism, but is primarily positive and laudatory of these research programs.

ASIN: 1585743534 |
Book Description
This classic guide presents practical information on virtually every aspect of farm equipment, machinery, and organization. Originally published in 1917, Farm Equipment and How to Use It surveys every topic of importance to the challenge of equipping a successful and fully functional farm, offering useful and handy advice on such issues as laying out the farm, lighting the farm home, establishing sources of water, and arranging for sewage disposal for the farm home. Additional sections provide detailed discussions of such indispensable examples of farm equipment as tillage tools, seeding machinery, manure spreaders, grain binders, and corn harvesters.Fully illustrated throughout with drawings, diagrams, plans, and photographs, Farm Equipment and How to Use It will prove as interesting to the current farmer for its still prudent advice on the timeless problems of farm management as it will to the history buff who wishes to catch an image of what the American farm was like at the beginning of the twentieth century. It provides a lovely foray into the rich legacy of American agriculture and will appeal to anyone who has ever been interested in the nut-and-bolts of farm life.

Memory Lane Is A Pleasant Neighborhood.......2002-04-14
The articles had some neat patches for holes in my understanding of windmill pumps and numerous other items. Much of the book is as useful now as it was then. An example is the table that shows the life in years of various woods used as fenceposts. (Osage Orange still has almost as many nicknames as favorite body parts.)
If you grew up with them as I did, it will be hard to read this without thinking of some of the fine people that used to operate the equipment in these pages. Back when daily work relied more on armstrong lift and hay-eating horsepower than hydraulic or electric gadgets, the tough regimen helped mold some great qualities and fine people. They left us clean, fertile fields and a good example. Sure miss a lot of them.

Wonderful book - could use more illustrations though.......2003-09-07
The author writes in a surprisingly readable style. The book's only drawback is the almost total lack of illustrations. Judging from the nice drawing on the cover, taken from a page of the explorers' journals, there were illustrations available but they didn't make it into the text. There were so many times when even a line drawing would have been helpful. At the very least some maps (one for each chapter, showing rivers, the explorers' path, and major landmarks along with maybe a light outline of present state boundaries) should be added to future editions.
The bottom line: this is a good book with a wealth of information. You may want to keep a map and/or a wildlife guide handy as you read, though.

Conscious Coaching : The Soccer Mom's Bible
Kathleen E. Donovan Manufacturer: Conscious Coaching ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0967927307 |
Book Description
CONSCIOUS COACHING by Kathy Donovan is a MUST read for coaches and parents involved in all youth sports. In light of the recent violence among coaches and parents at youth sports events, Conscious Coaching is a timely publication. This is an indispensable manual for anyone working with or raising children. The awareness Ms. Donovan brings to her coaching is direly needed in all youth sports, and the same awareness is applicable to all interactions with children as well as adults.What makes CONSCIOUS COACHING such an appealing and in fact, compelling book, is Ms. Donovan's ability to find clear, simple solutions to what appear to be complicated issues; this clarity and simplicity is also reflected in her writing style. This is a book that is engrossing from page one.
Ms. Donovan emphasizes that sports are a metaphor for life, simply one avenue through which children can develope life-skills, social skills and communication skills. The central question through which Ms. Donovan's coaching has evolved is, "Who are the kids becoming in the process of playing sports?" CONSCIOUS COACHING is a book that demonstrates how easily coaches and parents can cultivate love, respect and positive regard for children in the spirit of competitive play.
Kathy Donovan brings to coaching not only life-long love of sports and kids, but also her professional experience as a social worker and teacher. More importantly, she brings the ability to be an eternal student: being forever mindful, receptive, and humble; and she reminds the audience that being a good student is the key to being a good coach, teacher and parent.

Concious Coaching: Your Soccer Kids Will Love You for It........2001-01-11
Whether you are a parent, coach or teacher, this book will "coach" you to discern what works in your relationship with others (coach, child and parent) so that you can continue to reinforce those attributes that are positive. Most importantly though, it will guide you to recognize and shape your own behavior within those unfolding dynamics to effect desired outcomes and achieve empowering results.
Having said as little, it should be noted also that Conscious Coaching is a quick read; you will love it for its clarity, as much as for its wisdom.

If Rock and Roll Were a Machine: A Novel
Terry Davis Manufacturer: Eastern Washington University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0910055866 |
Book Description
If Rock and Roll Were a Machine offers a priceless gift; Bert Bowden, and Everyteen caught poignantly in the throes of becoming himself and torn by the task of breaking away from his loving-but-confused parents. It is an old story made new once again in the roar of Harleys, the pulse-like throb of an R&B baseline, and the silence of adolescent solitude. The story teaches us once again that the pain of "coming of age" is the purchase price of mature joy.Customer Reviews:
Battling Childhood Demons.......2007-06-03
Enduring Tale.......2005-12-21
NO MOUSER.......2000-08-08
Well-paced, with language that soars at times, IF ROCK N ROLL... places Davis in the upper echelon of adolescent fiction writers. The central images, the sleek powerful motorcycles, a child's terror and the athlete's development are so well-drawn that they will not let go of you easily.
