    1 out of 5 stars Stuck in the 1980's.......2006-01-30

    I couldn't believe it when I got this thing in the mail. The data set for the software is on a FLOPPY DISK! How many students have even seen one? It's almost impossible to buy a computer with a floppy disk drive these days. Worse yet, the software is antiquated, with an obsolete user interface and a worthless help system. I had to upload the data files to our shared data area so that the other students could download them and write them onto some other kind of drive (USB stick, for example). You MUST have the data saved to a rewritable drive - it won't accept a directory on your hard drive.

    What a piece of junk, and at an outrageous price. Oh yes, did I mention that the software doesn't match the written instructions in the book?

                      Book Description

                      Knowing what's going on in your company isn't just a requirement—it's power

                      How much do you really know about what's going on in your workforce and organization?

                      Good information is essential if managers are to manage well. Yet, too often, the right information does not get to the right place in the right form at the right time. That's because information often is spread throughout the organization—and hidden from management

                      This book will change all that. Learn how to establish a system that enables you to gather, process and make available internal information in your organization—quickly, easily and inexpensively.

                      Making your "best call" or going with your "gut" isn't good enough. Avoid the high costs of poor information:

                      Poor quality
                      Resistance to change
                      Lack of commitment to strategic initiatives
                      Turnover
                      Lack of motivation
                      Misdirected reward systems

                      The book is packed with techniques and tools to enable you to:

                      Gather information, using mini-surveys, focus groups, interviews, performance reviews and records
                      Understand what people do by studying work processes, using process mapping, flow charts and block diagrams
                      Design, administer and analyze internal surveys
                      Develop an information utility that allows management to connect to and analyze internal information—such as information circles or an office of performance improvement.

                      Part I addresses information and management success:

                      Why organizations need solid internal information to achieve competitive success
                      The critical role of information in effective and predictable management
                      Common approaches to managing information
                      Organizational rationality—a requirement for management success
                      How managers can determine their own information needs and strategies
                      The need for consultants and how to use them effectively

                      Part II introduces the art and science of information:

                      Comparing the various ways to gather internal information
                      The most common methods of gathering information
                      Ways to ask the right questions
                      How to administer a survey
                      Analyzing data to identify internal conditions and operations needing improvement

                      Part III covers how you can manage information:

                      Management systems that can generate, store, and distribute information
                      Organizing and using your own management system for performance improvement
                      How to overcome stumbling blocks to enjoying an information advantage

                          Book Description

                          Managing for IT skills is never easy at the firm level. Technologies change constantly and rapidly. The supply and demand of IT skills fluctuate. Firms do not have commonly recognized frameworks to manage IT skills of their workforce. A consistent taxonomy of IT skills is underdeveloped and used infrequently in industry. This book provides the basic vocabulary and managerial framework for managing strategically the IT workforce at the firm level. It also informs managers what tools and services are available to assess the skill levels of their IT workforce and job candidates. Finally, it gives different perspectives on managing IT skills - how individuals, HR managers, educators, and governments approach IT skills management.

                                5 out of 5 stars A must have if you want to know about confocal microscopy.......1999-05-05

                                This is a great reference book. A great place to start if you want to learn about confocal microscopes. The chapters are written by experts in their specific field of confocal microscopy. The book is also well referenced so that you can easliy continue your search for knowledge on confocal microscopy. I also found the appendix interesting, they list most of the existing confocal systems and there specs. This is useful if you plan on purchasing one. This book is also useful if you plan on building your own.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Out of date.......2006-04-23

                                  Not bad and a good resource from a respected author; however there have been some big moves forward in anchors in recent years, particularly in the small boat / cruising yacht area that this addresses.

                                  Anchor types such as Spade, Bulwagga, and Rocna have made the traditional plows, claws, and Danforth-types all but obsolete.

                                  A revision that devotes a chapter to these newer designs is badly needed. In the meantime be sure to take note of what is missing.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......2006-02-25

                                  Definitive book on the subject. Read it to learn what you didn't know you needed to know.
                                  Also good reference to have on board in case you get into a dicey situation.

                                  There is lots of good information in this well-written book. I've been anchoring for years and have read many books on anchoring and still I learned a lot from reading it. However, I am left wanting for some details.

                                  For example, the entire second chapter is devoted to describing how hard boats pull on anchors and how to determine the pull for particular boats. But when I tried to follow along and do the calculations for my boat, the information I needed was not there.

                                  This is a very good book, but I'm still searching...

                                  5 out of 5 stars Complete Book of Anchoring & Mooring - Earl Hinz.......2005-09-20

                                  Very thorough material regarding probably one of the MOST significant factors in boating; i.e. how to KEEP your vessel in tact and prevent unforseen disasters. Very factual & a real eye-opener of one the most critical foundational components of boating. I never realized that something so meaningless as anchoring, anchors, ground tackle, chains, ropes/lines, windlasses, moorings, etc. could prove to be so vital yet disregarded by a skipper. Earl Hinz really did an excellant job pooling information together from a lot of different sources. This is one subject that any skipper should become enthusiastic about even though it sounds glamorless and boring.

                                      This book so speaks to the contemporary writer that it is nearly impossible to believe that it was originally published in 1938. In If You Want to Write, Brenda Ueland sets forth not just a philosophy about how to write or how to create, but also about how to live. Beginning writers will certainly be encouraged by Ueland's words, but even the most experienced have much to glean from Ueland's simple wisdom. "Everybody," writes Ueland in the opening chapter, "is talented, original, and has something important to say." Finding that something important involves embracing creative idleness ("the imagination needs moodling--long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering"), freeing "what we really think, from what we think we ought to think," and "thumb[ing] your nose at all know-it-alls, jeerers, critics, doubters." One must think, she says, "of telling a story, not of writing it." And when revising one's writing, she advises, "do not try to think of better words, more gripping words.... It is not yet deeply enough imagined." Finally, "whenever you find yourself writing a single word or phrase or page dutifully and with boredom, then leave it out.... If what you write bores you, it will bore other people." And just because If You Want to Write is passionate, sincere, and even spiritual, do not think it is not also witty. One footnote bluntly declaims, "No doubt my terms would horrify a psychologist but I do not care at all." Elsewhere Ueland titles a chapter "Why Women Who Do Too Much Housework Should Neglect It for Their Writing." Amen, sister!

                                      Book Description

                                      In her 93 remarkable years, veteran freelance writer, memoirist, and writing teacher Brenda Ueland published some six million words. She once said there were two simple rules that she followed absolutely: to tell the truth, and not do anything she didn't want to do. Such integrity both distinguishes and defines If You Want to Write, her bestselling classic that first appeared in the late 1930s and has inspired thousands to find their own creative center. As Carl Sandburg once remarked, Ueland's primer is "the best book ever written on how to write."

                                      2 out of 5 stars A Nice Old Lady.......2007-09-30

                                      Undoubtedly Mrs. Ueland was a nice woman but this book is self-indulgent fluff. All she says in the entire book is, "If you want to write, write; everything you write will be worthy simply because you are a unique human being." If that inspires you, read the book (even though you now know every thought contained therein).

                                      5 out of 5 stars a life-changing read.......2007-09-12

                                      I read this book when I was 13, so I can't vouch for how useful it might be to an adult reader. All I know is that no book has changed my life as dramatically as this one did when I was 13. I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say that this book has the power to cure minor mental disorders and to help you find direction in your life. Reading this book was like one long epiphany for me. It is an energizing read, written in simple, clear, vivacious prose by a woman without a shred of pomposity but with fierce, passionate beliefs about art and individualism, a la William Blake.

                                      Looking at this book from a more detached perspective, I think Ueland could justly be viewed as a proponent of American Romanticism, a scion of the nature-based (as opposed to nurture-based, or formal-education-based) philosophical tradition that gave us greats like Whitman and Thoreau. If you liked "Walden," you'll almost definitely love this book. It's quite a bit like Walden in spirit, actually, except that its scope is somewhat narrower and it's less self-righteous and significantly easier to read.

                                      This book will sing for you. Whatever your muse - even if you think you don't have one - you want to read this book. Go ahead and borrow it from a library, but I suspect you will want to own it later.

                                      5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL............2007-08-01

                                      I've read this book at least 5 times, and I'm still not willing to let it go.

                                      I recommend this to anyone who always thought about writing, but never did because they felt they didn't have a talent for it. Brenda Ueland proves that such thoughts just aren't true, that everyone has originality and talent. She also explains why 'constructive criticism' isn't really constructive at ALL.

                                      But this book isn't just a motivational tool - she also includes helpful suggestions for readers to actually get started on their writing.

                                      So if you want to write, but don't know how to get started, get this book - and go for it :)

                                      4 out of 5 stars Great Writing Inspiration.......2007-06-26

                                      I decided to read "If You Want to Write", since it was mentioned in Robert J. Ray's "The Weekend Novelist", which was immensely helpful to me in improving many areas of my writing. I had hit a bit of a stumbling block in my own writing, and, so I thought I'd see what a book of a different style had to offer. I'm glad to see that this book has gotten a new printing for 2007.

                                      I had gotten pretty good at all of the planning stages of writing; making character sketches, summaries of chapters/plot, and other related activities. But, as far as writing the actual text of the novel, I wasn't doing so well. I liked writing stories for fun, but I wasn't turning out anything publishable. When I looked over what I had written, I felt that it was lacking a certain quality, but I couldn't place what it was.

                                      The first aspect of this book that really struck me was its free-flowing, non-rigid structure. Many books that offer writing instruction are rather strict, telling the would-be author how to lay out their plot, how to write their opening scene. Not that this is always bad. 'The Weekend Novelist' has a very precise layout, of course allowing the writer creative liberties. Structure is good for keeping a person in-line and motivated about their novel, so they don't drift off to some other project. However, rigidity doesn't offer much inspiration for a beginning writer. This is where Ueland's little book comes in handy!

                                      "If You Want to Write" is peppered with valuable suggestions, coming from Ueland's own life-experience as a writer and her observations on the writing of others. Ueland's advice about writing for an audience in chapter 16 was quite useful to me: "...it helps often, to have an imaginary listener when you are writing, telling a story, so that you will be interesting and convincing throughout." When I read this, I though, "Oh! This is what has been missing from my novel-writing all along." You see, when I am writing my character sketches or plot summaries (or Amazon reviews!), my writing is better because I show them to people and I am KEEPING that fact in mind while writing them. When I am writing passages for my stories, I write differently. I am trying to hard to use clever words and I revise repeatedly with slight adjustments; I go into a panic, almost! The problem has been that I'm not keeping an audience in mind, since (when writing my stories) I'm not really writing to entertain an audience or for the purpose of sharing my ideas. There are numerous other helpful pieces of information scattered throughout, and the reader will probably find passages such as the above that shed light on what has been missing from their own writing.

                                      The last chapter summarizes the guidelines given in the book, which I'll abridge here: 1) "Know that you have talent, are original, and have something important to say.", 2) "Know that it is good to work. Work with love and think of liking it when you do it.", 3) "Write freely, recklessly in first drafts.", 4) "Tackle anything you want to-novels, plays, anything.", 5) "Don't be afraid of writing bad stories. To discover what is wrong with a story, write two new ones and then go back to it.", 6) "Don't be ashamed of what you've written in the past", 7) "Try to discover your true self.", 8) "Think of yourself as incandescent power.", 9) "If you are never satisfied with what you write, that is a good sign. It means your vision can see so far that it is hard to come up to it.", 10), Quote from Van Gogh: "If you hear a voice within you saying: You are no painter, then paint by all means lad, and that voice will be silenced, but only by working.", 11) "Don't be afraid of yourself when you write.", and 12) "Don't always be appraising yourself, wondering if you are better or worse than other writers."
