Book Description
Reasonable accommodation is defined as any change in the work environment or in the way business is usually conducted that results in equal employment opportunity for an individual with a disability. With the Americans with Disabilities Act in full swing and more than 35,000 court cases on record, there is much to be done to get most companies into compliance. Reasonable Accommodation: Profitable Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act was designed to provide those responsible for diversity and implementing the ADA with specific benchmark examples of how companies have provided accommodations that have had a positive impact on profitability, quality, employee and customer relations. This masterfully written book covers many important topics dealing directly with the ADA. It also provides numerous technologies available that can greatly increase productivity and quality of performance for disabled employees, as well as a "who's who" of case studies including: AT&T, Boeing, Federal Express, Ford Motor Co., Bank of America, Digital Equipment, General Electric Co., IBM, Motorola, WAUSAU Insurance Co., Sears Roebuck, Philip Morris, and many more.

Book Description
The solar system is the physical manifestation of a vast Life, Being, and Spirit which we call a Solar Logos. Here, in clear terms, is a description of its life, intelligence, consciousness, and form nature.
"The Solar Logos is evolving, growing, and expanding. Physically, we see energy and light radiate outward from the sun in all directions. Its vibrations reach plants here on earth and stimulate them to growth. Its light reaches our eyes, revealing to us an expanded knowledge of our universe. The same type of radiatory and expansive occurrence is also happening on subjective levels. The radiance of the consciousness of the sun stimulates the consciousness of our higher Self. The attractive potency of the Solar Logos leads to human synthesis and the urge to a higher existence. Just as the light of the sun is vitality to plants, so the radiance of the subjective Heart of the Sun provides vitality to our own spiritual nature, filling it with love, joy, and harmony. The Solar Logos is the source of our existence, both physically and spiritually. Its radiance vitalizes our physical bodies and vitalizes our spiritual growth."

The Windward Road: Adventures of a Naturalist on Remote Caribbean Shores
ASIN: 0813011795 |
Book Description
In the timeless voice of a classic, Ulendo speaks to readers today with even more force and elegance than it did on its first publication in 1954. Written by Florida's preeminent nature writer, this memoir describes the African journey--the "ulendo," as they say in Malawi--of Archie Carr, who spent several summers in Africa on official business to study animal-borne diseases and sea turtle habitats.

Coaching Footballs Split 4-4 Defense.......2006-11-14
I did not receive this book. Can you please look into this.
In your face Defense.......2006-07-01
Hard hitting, full impact reading between a coach's head and heart.
This book has been everywhere with me - even the sidelines. Concise and direct; it's a down and dirty guide that will allow any Defensive Coordinator to install this set up quickly. I've used the suggestions from this book to take my team to the next level.
Good Base.......2006-02-27
As a young coach I am always looking into increasing my football IQ. The book is written in a user friendly manner and gives you all the information you need to implement this defense. Good coaching points for each position on the field complete with read keys, alignments and various shifts based on formation and motion. Very good resource.
A Must Read for Defensive Coaches.......2001-02-22
The clarity of expression found in Coach Noble's book is rare in any work much less one on football. He avoids too much inside jargon and gets right to the straight scoop. Even if you are not a proponent of this defensive scheme, the book is a must read. The elegant simplicity of the defense is complemented by the concise expression of the ideas behind the scheme.
Excellent for Highschool coaches.......1999-10-29
Great tool for defensive drills, breaks down the positions and what must be accomplished at each position to have a winning defense. The book gives you a great start for implementing your own defensive gameplan.

Customer Reviews:
advices w/ practical examples.......2007-10-15
Insightful information and good examples of essays and recommendations. I also liked the directors of admission's quotes. It is pretty much the same advices you hear when you go to the School's info sessions but on the book the advices are clearly linked to how you write each part of your application.
Great book, but nothing new from previous editions.......2007-08-31
Needless to say, this book is now the Bible of MBA applications.
What works:
1. Lots of advice, starting from the basics.
2. Tons of feedback from Admissions Committee Members
3. Essay samples
What doesnt:
1. Essay samples are limited to people who were leaders, consultants, etc etc. I dont believe these form the majority, Instead, I think the majority applicants are engineers, investment bankers and people from Asia. So the examples should have been chosen to fit that demographic too. I am more interested to see how an engineer represented himself well to get into a B-school, rather than read an essay of someone who was in the Army asa Lieutenant. It doesnt help much by publishing essays of people who're inherently different because of a very rare background.
2. Nothing much has really changed over the 2002 edition of the book. So, if you have the old one, I dont think this is worth buying. You could just use the library.
Fantastic Guide, we call it the MBA admissions bible.......2007-08-15
This is a fantastic book. I used it while in the Peace Corps to write my application to a top 5 MBA program. It has great advice on how to organize your application and your thoughts. It is not a 'shortcut' to getting in, but helps you put yourself together and show all of your background and your ambitions in the best light possible. If you're looking at even a top 10 program, this book is required reading. I can safely say probably 80% of us here used it to help us write our apps.
Wrong Title.......2007-08-10
I just think this book's title is misleading to someone who has already decided to get an MBA, researched schools, and selected the top schools to which apply. I was looking for something that was going to help me AFTER all these events have taken place as the title suggests. If you're saying: "I already know exactly what I want to do, now give me some tips to make it happen;" then this book is not for you. I found SOME tips, while skimming this tomb, and I think they're all common sense, widely available on the web, or easily obtainable simply by looking at the MBA schools' websites.
A complete guide to readying yourself for an MBA.......2007-07-07
Immediately upon receiving this book, I was shocked at it's sheer size. When I ordered it, I had neglected to notice how many pages it includes, and I assumed it was going to be relatively short since it is not expensive.
Then, I wondered how much there could be to say about the MBA admissions process, and if the book would become too repetitive. Well, as it turns out, the book doesn't repeat itself and Montauk takes advantage of every page to guide you through what it takes to get into a good MBA program.
I am still in the process of applying, but what I have found is that this book has given me a great outline of what I should be doing to prepare myself, and provided detailed steps of how to navigate each step. Studying for the GMAT, getting letters of recommedation, writing the schools' essays, interviewing, it's all covered in great detail.
I continue to use this book as a reference guide as I am going through the application process, and I find that whatever I am confused about, the answer is provided in the book.

The Passion of Alice
ASIN: 1416908935 |
Book Description
Mercy O'Connor is becoming an angel.
She can feel her wings sprouting from her shoulder blades. They itch. Sometimes she even hears them rustling.
And angels don't need to eat. So Mercy has decided she doesn't need to either. She is not sick, doesn't suffer from anorexia, is not trying to kill herself. She is an angel, and angels simply don't need food.
When her parents send her to an eating disorder clinic, Mercy is scared and confused. She isn't like the other girls who are so obviously sick. If people could just see her wings, they would know. But her wings don't come and Mercy begins to have doubts. What if she isn't really an angel? What if she's just a girl? What if she is killing herself? Can she stop?
Customer Reviews:
If Only Antieau Had Mercy on Her Reader ... .......2007-08-07
Simply, almost cruelly put, this book is a failure. It clumsily strives to engage the young reader in a dialogue about eating-disorders ... and only succeeds at thoroughly confusing its audience. Let's begin with its "cardinal sin" ... in NO way can a young adult relate to the main character, Mercy. She has been raised by former hippies (Mom is a whacked-out environmental lawyer, Dad does the cooking). Fine. But ... she is a non-practicing Jew who chants "Om Tara tu tare ture" on her japa mala (Tibetan), is questioning her sexual identity, has a dead brother, thinks she's transforming into an angel (no joke), develops amnesia (no joke), has a grandmother who suffered through a WWII concentration camp ... and her character becomes more and more removed from reality as the story progresses. Mercy is a complete aberration. Where does a teen find her/himself in this odd construction? Good question.
At points it becomes difficult to discern if this text is focused on the AIDS crisis, on WWII concentration camps, or on feminism. I see what the author was trying to achieve, but it's artless. While a skillful writer could weave these thoughts into a coherent text (if need be), Antieau awkwardly stacks these topics on top of one another ... The result reads like a complete lack of focus. And, again, if the text wants to illuminate this topic for young people, why not keep the focus as narrow as possible.
Antieau references obscure material with which even some Ph.D. candidates are unacquainted. Foremost, she frequently weaves Mary Wollstonecraft (late Eighteenth-Century feminist) and Mary Shelley (early Nineteenth-Century Gothic novelist) into the text. Their incorporation seems more the "inside-joke" of a pompous grad-student than a genuine attempt to reach-out to young people. Second, she all-too-often compares the emaciated girls/women of The Mercywood Clinic to the zombies of Romero's "Day of the Dead." A B-film from 1985, most of my undergraduate film-studies students have never even seen this work ... let alone a ninth-grader (the target audience for this text). Likewise for references to Forman's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) and frequent allusions to "The Twilight Zone's" episode #73 "It's a Good Life" (1961). And, this is JUST the beginning! (I am not even going to launch in the gratuitous mention of Kate Wilhelm, Margaret Sanger, Sappho, Georgia O'Keefe, Carl Jung, Franz Kafka, et al). At worst, it appears that this author seems rather insecure of her own education/knowledge of pop culture ... and feels compelled to slam everything she knows into this minuscule book. At best, she is shockingly inept at reaching young-people.
Antieau's use of profanity is both awkward and unnecessary. Simon & Schuster has placed this text in their "Simon Pulse" division: one AGAIN aimed at "young adults." However, Antieau peppers her text so thoroughly with every vulgarity imaginable, I don't imagine too many parents would be amenable to having their children bombarded with such words. And, though I personally do not object to the language, I find it stilted and a transparent effort to connect to a younger audience. It's a cheap ploy.
As a college instructor, I am always searching for texts to recommend to my students both in and out of class (read both "academically" and when "emergency" dictates). Under no circumstances would I ever suggest this text to a suffering student or even for class analysis. Like the librarian below, I am back to searching for another text on this topic.
Didactic Disorder Not an Eating Disorder.......2007-03-11
This book is divided into four parts, the reason I gave it more than one star
was because of the second part. This second part describes the main character's
(Mercy O'Connor) experience at a clinic in New Mexico for anorexics. Not knowing or even
really ever thinking about what goes on at one of these clinics it gave me insights
into a disorder that I have not read much about. Additionally, the second part
had less political commentary than the rest of the book.
This is my main complaint with the rest of the book. The narrative will move along
and then BAM! p. 5-"She(Mercy's Mom) does not believe in God. She said she can't because
if there was a God who could make things better and didn't, then that was a God
was crazy evil sonofabitch...." A few sentences later on the same page BAM! "He(Mercy's
father) was raised in the Midwest on a farm an organic farm, no less....". As an aside here
funny that Mercy's grandparents are organic farmers as her dad describes that his family came
over to the United States due to the "potato famine" in Ireland caused by
phytophthora infestans. Uhhhhh, if it was me and my family had to leave Ireland
because of some fungus I would make sure I would be killing anything that threatened my crops with pesticides.
Anyhow, narrative continues, BAM! p. 11-"Just like the Catholic Church to make a man
the saint of a kitchen. How many men do you know cook?" At least Mercy responds to her mother
that her father does the cooking at home. Narrative continues BAM! p. 12-"That is essentially
what they're doing in Africa. Denying women their reproductive rights. Here in the United States
women died so that other women could have the same rights as men", her mother explains. Alright,
I think I have made my point, God knows the author has made hers.
Mercy thinks she is growing angel wings, I found this distracting. Not only is the reader
trying to figure out why Mercy has anorexia, she comes from a solid family, not sexually abused,
denies that her anorexia has anything to do with onset sexuality, but then the reader has to
deduce why she thinks she is growing angel wings. If the author's point is to get the reader
to think about a lot of things at once she has accomplished her goal. Mercy then inexplicably
is found running around in desert, naked and has blacked out for four days. She is found,
starts eating and regains her memory. Well, I guess if I had a problem and was taken care of by nice
people at the Mabel Dodge Luhan house I might be cured as well. I found part four to be maudlin
and saccharin. A fourteen year old girl may not feel the way I do about this book, but if she is
as smart as Mercy is she will at least see that it is not the book that is described on the back cover.
Lastly, the author is a librarian and I am as well, therefore I was disappointed at some lax fact
checking that occured in the book. Mercy remembers her dead maternal grandfather Max who was an
Amercian soldier. Grandpa Max met Grandma Dottie when Grandpa Max liberated Grandma Dottie at Ravensbruck
concentration camp. Unless Grandpa Max was also a member of the Red Army this could not have happened.
Ravensbruck was a concentration camp for women that was liberated by the Soviets. It is odd that the movie
"King of Hearts" is mentioned and lauded twice in this book. It is a great anti-war movie, but if it were not
for people like Grandpa Max whether he fought for the Americans or the Red Army Grandma Dottie would probably
have died.
If a young library patron wanted a fiction book about a girl with anorexia I am afraid I could not
recommend this one, therefore I will have to find one and read it.
stupid book.......2007-02-10
This girl keeps thinking that she is an angel which had no point to the story. It made a treatment facility for eating disorders as a way to just ask on your eating disorder and not show how treatment can help you. The end of the book makes no sense at all---she loses her memory and then when regains it she is recovered from eating disorder. completely unrealistic.
Intriguing and suspensful.......2006-12-29
This has probably been one of my favorite books that I have read in the past six months. And, mind you, I have read my fair share of books. This particular book happened to catch my eye in the young adult section of the Tenafly Public Library. The blurb (back cover of the book), I found particularly intriguing. And to be honest, I have never read a book anything like it. Which is a good thing. I know I'm not the only one who has picked up a book that was nothing special and then later read something almost exactly like it. I would strongly recommend this book to girls over the age of 14. (Mostly because of all the cursing that is done by some of Mercy's friends.) I certainly enjoyed it.
Haunting Narration.......2006-08-01
Mercy is a fifteen year old girl with an eating disorder; she's on the verge of starvation when her parents send her to a treatment facility in New Mexico. But these facts, clearly evident to the reader, allude the patient in question.
Kim Antieau has created an incredible novel narrated by Mercy. Seen through her eyes, her warped, diseased perspective, Mercy is not sick. She doesn't need treatment. Her problem? No one believes what she holds to be true. Mercy is an angel-in-disguise whose wings are always days away from sprouting on her back. She feels the wings itching beneath the surface. She sees the world differently. She feels that once she is an angel she can help people...she could help ease some of the world's pain. As a human, she's useles...but as an angel there's endless possibilities for her to change the world. Food just stands in the way of her destiny. Angels don't eat. And she is almost there. If only people wouldn't pressure her, they would see the truth...
Mercy's breakthrough from almost-insanity to recovery leads the reader on an exciting, realistic journey of the psychological impact of eating disorders.
