Book Description
Most employees would agree they spend too much time dealing with disagreements, differences, and other conflicts that arise in the workplace. Conflict Resolution Styles drives home the message that we usually can't avoid ignore these conflicts, but we can learn how to deal with them.
It is a powerful tool for teaching employees how to handle conflict and minimize the stress, frustration, anxiety, and sleeplessness it can cause. The video is also a strong way to head off the potential high costs to business when conflict is not recognizedranging from avoidance and third-party mediation to physical threat and violence.
Conflict Resolution Styles uses real life, emotionally charged business scenarios to demonstrate and discuss five different approaches to handling conflict:
Accommodate (I lose, you win)You put aside your needs and desires and give in to the other person's demands.
Avoid (I lose, you lose)You avoid, postpone, or prevent a conflict and neither party wins because the conflict remains unresolved.
Compromise (We both win, we both lose)You resolve the conflict quickly and efficiently by seeking a fair and equitable split between your respective positions.
Compete (I win, you lose)You seek to win your position at the expense of the other party.
Collaborate (I win, you win)You cooperate with the other party to find a resolution with a mutually satisfying outcome.
Participants will see Kim, an operations manager, deal with differences between her and a vendor, her boss, and colleagues. In each scenario, she provides positive behavior modeling by showing when each style works and how to use it successfully. The video includes do's and don'ts, things not to say, and many other tips for using each style appropriately.
Use Conflict Resolution Styles to encourage discussion among employees of:
How they define a conflict situation
The types of conflicts that arise in their workplace
How they typically handle these conflicts
Examples of when they have used each style
Situations that could have been handled better using another conflict resolution style and why
Key lessons:
Everyone encounters situations where they must handle some type of conflict.
Most people favor one conflict-handling style, but there is no "one-size-fits-all" response to conflict.
Employees who master all five responses to conflict, assess each situation, and choose the most appropriate response style are most successful at resolving conflict.
Includes:
22-minute Video
Dealing with Conflict Instrumenta self-assessment that will help employees learn about their own natural conflict-handling style and encourage them to use other styles when appropriate
Video Facilitator's Guidehighlights key points from the video and provides trainer instructions

Book Description
La lumière que nous recevons des astres est polarisée chaque fois qu'une dissymétrie a affecté l'émission ou la propagation du rayonnement jusqu'à l'observateur. Ainsi la polarimétrie est capable de fournir des informations utiles, difficiles à obtenir autrement, dans des contextes astronomiques très variés : étude du sol et de
l'atmosphère des planètes, de l'atmosphère du Soleil et des étoiles, ou encore du milieu interstellaire et des nébuleuses diffuses, mais aussi détection des champs magnétiques.
Ces différents domaines de recherche sont présentés, pour la première fois, dans une même perspective qui permet de dégager la logique commune à tous les phénomènes de polarisation. On a voulu que ceux-ci soient décrits de manière essentiellement qualitative, et sans appareil mathématiques/ et non mathématiqure, afin que cet ouvrage soit accessible à tous les amateurs d'astronomie. Une large biographie incluant les travaux les plus récents permet au lecteur qui le souhaite d'approfo

Good biography, but a bit patronizing toward the Welsh.......2005-02-13
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, having grown up less than 20 miles from the farm. As a child, I used to go on walks with my father in many of the locations he mentioned - the Snowdon range, the Glyders, Carneddau, Cwm Idwal, Cwm Ffynnon and so on. What makes the story for me is the struggle against nature - the wins and losses against the elements and the terrain. A good balance of fun-loving individuals and hard-working, entrepreneurial spirit makes the book very readable.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable on sheep farming, but the author does seem to capture well his journey from ignorance to competence with regards to the details of farming - purchasing livestock, keeping them alive, breeding them and selling them on. I used to attend the local agricultural shows as a boy and the depictions of the local markets certainly bring back some memories.
The book does have a tendency toward a patronizing attitude regarding the Welsh and I can see how a Welsh person local to the area would be annoyed by the tone in many places. There are several hot buttons there - the author was obviously a highly privileged man, arriving at a young age with a good education and able to buy a 2,400 acre farm - yet there does not seem to have been much of an effort to learn the language. A bit of an old colonial attitude perhaps.
Having said that, the author and his wife have made great strides in protecting the area and recently bequeathed the farm to the National Trust to protect the landscape. In other words, the negatives are more than outweighed by the positives.
If you have spent any time in North Wales, you will be sure to enjoy this book - if not, it may be a bit strange, but is worth the read and might even spark enough curiosity for you to pay a visit. If you do, remember the author's warnings about the weather in the area - take your waterproofs with you!
A perfect capture of the spirit of Wales.......2000-11-26
The previous reviewer has the great misfortune of not having been to Wales. I could never truly recommend this book to anyone who has not been to the area where this is set, in Snowdonia, one of the most beautiful and amazing places on earth. Until one has been there for brilliantly clear days where you can see forever, or spent an afternoon in a pub with a real fire watching the steam rise off your socks following a soaking hill walk, you won't begin to understand the trials and the joys of Firbank.
This is a classic book. I highly recommend it, and a visit to North Wales.
Good but at times boring........2000-07-26
This book was recommended to me as a "dramatic" story. While I did find the depiction of life on a sheep farm in Wales interesting I would at no time describe the book as dramatic. However I would like to visit Wales now so maybe it could be used to intice tourists?

Capoeira 100: An Illustrated Guide to the Essential Movements and Techniques
ASIN: 0938190296
Release Date: 1993-02-01 |
Book Description
Capoeira weaves fighting, music, dance, prayer, and ritual into an urgent strategy by which people live, struggle, celebrate, and survive together. In this book Bira Almeida--or Mestre Acordeon as he is respectfully called in capoeira circles--documents his own tradition with both the panoramic eye of the historian and the passionate heart of the capoeirista. He transports the reader from the damn of New World history in Brazil to the streets of twentieth-century Bahia (the spiritual home of capoeira) to the giant urban centers of North America (wher capoeira is now spreading in new lineages from the old masters). This book is valuable for anyone interested in ethnocultural traditions, martial arts, and music, as well as for those who want to listen to the words of an actual mestre dedicated to preserving his Afro-Brazilian legacy.
Customer Reviews:
Amazing Capoeira Book.......2007-02-18
Amazing book, absolutely amazing. It is not for the person wanting to learn how to do capoeira, but for anyone, beginner or master, who wants to read a great history and personal journey.
It even travels into the spiritual, deeper significance of capoeira.
GREAT BOOK.
It's okay but you could do better.......2006-09-08
This book is just an "okay" introductory text on capoeira. A major draw back is the centeral focus on capoeira regional, a better text would be "Ring of Liberation" because it more comprehensivly covers capoeira.
Remains an Excellent Introduction to Capoeira.......2005-08-26
Mestre Acordeon's book has long been praised for its clear writing, for his thoughtful coverage of the history, philosophy, and artistic traditions surrounding this art-form. Other reviewers (see below) have noted that the book was among the first in English to introduce readers to these aspects of Capoeira, while also offering a glimpse into this one mestre's personal and life-long journey. Having assigned his book to students (both graduate and undergraduate alike), I have had ample opportunity to hear students' glowing reviews: most of these students had never heard of Capoeira, nor even seen it played, before having read his work. In retrospect, they (and I, too) consider this book an excellent way to delve into the topic. While there's recently been a flurry of new scholarship on Capoeira (at least 3 books in English have come out in 2005) that matches Capoeira's growing influence around the globe, Acordeon's book remains one of the best places to start one's exploration. Axe ASCAB!
100% Capoeira.......2002-08-11
Mestre Acordeon takes you on a journey through capoeira, sharing his experiences and inviting the reader to use his imagination.
A truely inspirational piece from a truely inspirational master.
Excellent book. Very Informative........2000-07-05
The book Capoeira: A Brazilian Art Form was not only well-written but was interesting as well. This book educates you about the history of capoeira, capoeira practitioners, and even a short summary of how Mestre Acordeon was introduced to the art of capoeira. I would highly reccomend this book to capoeiristas, as it was very helpful to me. Axé.

Ive learned more just reading this book and can't wait to try out all the tips and tricks Bob has put into this book. All aspects (even some I'll never use) are covered! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to finish their special project!
Great teaching tool........2007-07-20
This book is very excellent for picking up a few tips and learning new things. I've used it more than I thought I would and really appreciate the professional manner in which it explains things. Many pictures to "Show" the finished product. This is very helpful in comparing the end result. It's a great addition to the shop. Try one, you'll like it.

i already do restoration but this book opened my eyes a hell of a lot its a fantastic book and anybody that restores for a leaving or as an hoby should own one of these books
Concise, well written, comprehensive.......2007-04-10
Highly recommended. Anyone who has ever applied a finish to a piece of wood,from professional wood worker to Saturday afternoon handyman, will benefit from this book.
Simply the Best!.......2007-04-09
There is really no need to say anything more than that...this book is without equal in the area of finishing information. It is comprehensive in scope, well researched (backed up with years of personal experience)and presented in a clear and entertaining format.
Many experts in the shop have faced with great trepidation the blank screen of the computer when they have attempted to impart with the rest of us their years of gathered wisdom and abilities. Bob Flexner seemed to have slid easily into the author's chair and rewards all woodworkers with a volume of immense readability.
If you simply build things in the workshop, this book is of no value to you. If you ever intend to apply a finish to a piece then this book is one you should definitely own!
I am glad to add my voice to the dozens here who have already praised this book and agree wholeheartedly with their positive assessments.
My prediction is that if you add this book to your shop library you will feel the same way.

Book Description
When The Barred Owl Calls is a biographical novel about family values, love, heritage, and the positive role that caring grandparents play in the psychological and moral growth of their grandchildren.
Thirteen-year-old Johnny, and eighty-year-old Papa are the pivotal characters. Papas conviction is that what matters most in life is love, family and happy memories.
