5 out of 5 stars Practical approach on performance measurement system design.......2005-10-17

This book was a pleasant surprise, and an useful tool, which unfortunately I found after developed my own tool kit and process to design performance measurement system. A very practical approach of the necessary steps to take: identify stakeholders, define business objectives and associate measures, check and fine tuning measures, use measures to manage the business and improve performance. The book comes with a CD ROM which contains forms, templates extremely useful in implementing and tailoring the process. Highly reccomended for managers, and project managers, interested to design and implement results oriented activities. If you ever asked your self: "how do we are ensure activities are focusing our ultimate objectives?", "how we better explain people what and how they are supposed to do?", "how we better track the implementation?", "what information to look for in order to be able take real time decisions?", this book might help you figure out answers.

      From the supplier: Sanitary food handling is one of the important considerations that restaurant operators should focus on, as many incidents of food poisoning have been related to the sanitation issue. Proper training of food-preparation workers should be provided, and emphasis must be given on cleaning their work areas as well. However, the pressure of producing large quantities of food often times impedes the maintenance of sanitary standards at the work areas. Supervisors should exert more effort in ensuring adherence to sanitation policies to avoid health risks on customers.

            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.

                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.

                5 out of 5 stars Memory Lane Is A Pleasant Neighborhood.......2002-04-14

                Wow! The iron tools of fields, sheds and barnyards when I was a lad are alive and well in this book. There needs to be a companion CD with the sounds of the implements working. (You never forget the sound of a poorly oiled hay carrier in a hot, dusty barn as it moves across the rail to where you dump your next pile of hay - and forking work.) Always did like line drawings, and there are plenty here.

                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.

                  Book Description

                  Written in a folksy, down-to-earth style, this user-friendly guide to the night sky is designed for beginner and intermediate stargazers ages twelve and up. It begins with chapters explaining the stars, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies—and what readers can expect to see from their own backyards with a modicum of equipment. Virginia StarWatch then examines the major constellations, offering updated tales of the mythology surrounding them and detailing their seasonal movements in the sky. Later chapters delve into the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, and "celestial extras," such as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. The final chapter provides advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment. Appendices include monthly star maps for Virginia’s northern latitude, a local resource guide, and a list of Virginia’s brightest stars.

                  First published in 1969, Lewis and Clark: Pioneering Naturalists remains the most comprehensive account of the scientific studies carried out by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their overland expedition to the Pacific Northwest and back in 1804–6. Summaries of the animals, plants, topographical features, and Indian tribes encountered are included at the end of each chapter devoted to the particular leg of the journey. A distinguished biologist, Paul Russell Cutright will be remembered for this landmark contribution to our understanding of the world that the expedition observed and recorded.

                  4 out of 5 stars Wonderful book - could use more illustrations though.......2003-09-07

                  This book is a fascinating natural history of the Lewis and Clark expedition that deals not just with flora and fauna but also with geology, geography, medicine, and the ethnography of the tribes the explorers met on their way to the Pacific and back. The story is told chronologically, with enough detail that if your main interest is natural history this could be the only history of the expedition you will want to read.

                  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.

                        This book is great but I have not had timeto finish reading. All the topics are well done.

                        5 out of 5 stars Tom Hull - Review as Coach and Owner.......2006-07-20

                        Nicely organized book for any soccer coach or aspiring coach. This covers ground that some books tend to miss. We've used this in our youth clinics and drill instruction. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone that will be putting time into the development of athletes and/or teams.
                        We've move onto Football in that season as many people do but there are drills that translate into other sports. This includes Basketball and Baseball as the top-3. Again this is highly recommended and can help with strategy and scoring. Very appropriate.

                        This book is for every soccer coach out there, at any level. It has fantastic contributions from the likes of Anson Dorrance and Steve Sampson. I am a UEFA A licensed coach, and this book was well worth me reading!

                        5 out of 5 stars Great Collection for Coaches.......2004-07-29

                        This is a great collection of articles from experienced coaches and trainers - many of them well-known names. Coaches at any level will benefit from the insights offered. Topics cover a wide range from the philosophical (coaching principles and objectives) through adminstrative (club, team adn league management) and nuts and bolts (training for specific outcomes, developing training activities, fitness).

                        The book finishes with chapters on player motivation and management as well as a look at coaching opportunites.

                        Overall, it covers as wide a field as you can expect from any one book. On the negative side, those looking for extensive training outlines and menus of training activities will need to supplement this volume with more specific coaching books.

                        3 out of 5 stars Keep looking.......2004-06-15

                        This book is fair. It's great for a coach moving up to club levels. Where they need to know team management motivation, etc. But if your looking for rules, tactics, techniques: It's lacking.

                              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.

                              5 out of 5 stars A MUST for any parent of sports-minded kids!.......2001-01-28

                              This is not just for soccer moms. If you coach kids, have kids in sports, or are an adult involved in any way with organized youth sports, this is a MUST read. The author brings a deeper level of understanding and revelation about providing a healthy and positive experience for sports-minded kids.

                              5 out of 5 stars Concious Coaching: Your Soccer Kids Will Love You for It........2001-01-11

                              Sports education today plays an increasingly powerful role in shaping our children's behavior. Indeed, it is capable of imparting to them a host of character-shaping attributes, including - but not limited to - confidence, discipline, perseverance, assertiveness, decisiveness, insightfulness, humility, fortitude and temperance... all of which empowers them to embrace life's challenges long after they have kicked their last soccer ball or swung a final home run. Conscious Coaching will help you to recognize that, within the confines of sports education (and by extension, any other form of education), the dynamics manifested among coach, parent, and child can either lead to wholly empowering experiences for everyone involved - children especially - or, in stark contrast, result in emotional upheaval for all parties involved, particularly the young and most impressionable.

                              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.

                              5 out of 5 stars MUCH MORE THAN A BOOK ON SOCCER!.......2001-01-04

                              Finally, a book which not only brings sanity back to competitive sports, but to basic human interaction. Nasty and all-too-often violent behavior on and off the playing field is indicative of an ill society, and this book becomes an excellent model for change where it's impact will be the greatest--with the children. The author has the credentials and natural skill to bring important information to light using the game of soccer and a youth soccer team as her vehicle. She is not only a sports enthusiast, but also a mental health professional, and incorporates the best of both worlds together in a book that is long overdue. It is not only a model for coaching, but a paradigm for problem-solving through structure and clarity which the kids seem to hunger for. She guides them gently to the root of a problem, either within the individual or the group, through awareness, and teaches them skills for problem-solving, all the while never letting them forget to have fun with the game. They naturally incorporate these skills (and joy) into their daily lives as evidenced by their parents' comments. Likewise, it is not only a joy to read, but becomes a practical guide for, not only those working with children, but for anyone interested in becoming a little more enlightened through awareness.

                                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.

                                4 out of 5 stars Battling Childhood Demons.......2007-06-03

                                When Bert was young, he remembers being very smart and not afraid to show what he knew. He was bursting with confidence and happiness. Then he spent two years, fifth and sixth grade, with Mr. Lawler as his teacher. Lawler seemed to really have it in for Bert, and he encouraged the entire class to help Bert to "change his ways." Bert was subjected to two straight years of public humiliation, which left him very quiet, with a stutter and nearly no self-confidence.

                                Now Bert is a junior in high school and is cut from the football team. He needs to find something else on which to focus his attention. He decides to buy a motorcycle.

                                Buying the motorcycle introduces Bert to a whole new group of people, who are able to help him on his way to rediscovering who he is. The most important is Scott Shepard, the man who sells him the bike and then gives Bert a job in his motorcycle shop. He sees something special in Bert and is determined to help Bert himself discover what that something is. Eventually Scott may help Bert to face his biggest demon--Mr. Lawler himself, still the same after all these years.

                                I liked the Shepard family. They were a very tight-knit group but at the same time they were so open to include a guy like Bert. I also liked Bert's English teacher and his sensitivity. Bert needed some sort of support system. Much of the time, Bert seemed to just float through his life, and his parents were almost nonexistent after their first fight about the motorcycle. I would have thought they would play at least some role in his life.

                                5 out of 5 stars Enduring Tale.......2005-12-21

                                I first this book when it was first published, and I was in the 8th grade. I remember it b/c I rated it an 8 out of 10 in my reading journal for school. Ten years later, I've reread that book so many times that my copy is dogeared. "If I changed once for the worse, I can change again for the better." These words are Bert Bowden's new mantra as he faces old demons and struggles to define himself. Davis' language is poetic, full of colorful phrases and thoughtful prose. I'd recommend all of his books, but this is the one that touched my heart.

                                4 out of 5 stars NO MOUSER.......2000-08-08

                                Davis does for raquetball what he did for wrestling in VISION QUEST. The raquetball court becomes the three dimensional metaphor for the complex obstacle that Bert Bowden must overcome if he is to get on with his life.

                                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.
