1 out of 5 stars Poor paper, only a bunch of flowers.......2006-08-28

When my wife opened the box, she was completely disappointed: the book was thin, the paper was poor (black and white) and the pages had its borders yellow - sign of a book that was forgotten for many years...

It could be improved if:
- could have more projects;
- the paper could be better;
- and the drwaings could be in full color

                        Book Description

                        The Hidden Inns of East Anglia is another great title in the Hidden Inns series of regional guides, which will cover "hidden" pubs and inns throughout the United Kingdom. The series originates from the enthusiastic suggestions of the landladies and landlords of inns reviewed in the Hidden Places series of travel guides and from Hidden Places readers who want to be directed to traditional inns with atmosphere and character, which are so much a part of our British heritage. The inns reviewed in the book may have been coaching inns and have definitely been a part of the history of the village or town in which they are located for many, many years. All of the inns reviewed have been visited by a Travel Publishing researcher and all serve food and drink. Many also offer the visitor accommodation. The guide covers inns and pubs in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.

                        Norfolk is well known for its Broads, a landscape of gentle hills and expansive horizons, delightful pastoral scenes, a beautiful coastline rich in wildlife and many interesting places to visit. Suffolk was made famous by the brush of John Constable and is blessed with incomparable rural beauty, encompassing wide-open spaces broken by gentle hills and tidal rivers meandering from a coastline teeming with birdlife. Essex contains England's oldest recorded town (Colchester) and has a strong maritime tradition, pretty villages, a coastline with attractive estuaries and a rich history going back to Roman times. Cambridgeshire is famous for its ancient university and being the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell and Samuel Pepys it offers a wealth of peaceful and attractive countryside with many towns and villages steeped in history. Other Hidden Inns titles have received excellent reviews in the local and national press including television and radio.?

                              A comprehensive new framework for winning at Mfrom up-front planning to postmerger integration

                              The challenges of mergers and acquisitions can be daunting-but the opportunities and benefits they offer forward-thinking companies can be tremendous. Winning at Mergers and Acquisitions offers a critical new approach to strategic M&A based on the authors' pioneering concept of marketing due diligenceSM. Covering every stage of market-driven M&A planning and integration, this book shows how to look beyond the quick hit to focus on long-term growth rather than short-term cost-cutting. Featuring dozens of real-life case studies-including both failures and extraordinary successes-plus inside comments from leading M&A specialists, this book contains crucial guidance on:
                              * Predeal planning-how to identify your strategic needs and pinpoint the merger candidate(s) that will help you meet them
                              * Sizing up targets for acquisition-how to examine the essential marketing, sales, and product issues that will determine a good company "fit,".strategically and culturally
                              * Revenue enhancement planning-how to identify ways to drive top-line growth and develop action plans to generate near- and long-term revenues
                              * Filling the pipeline-how to prioritize and actualize the critical steps necessary to drive shareholder value
                              * Developing communication programs-how to design and execute communication strategies to garner support for the merger by employees, customers, and other stakeholders
                              * Building a comprehensive postmerger integration plan-how to align diverse corporate cultures, develop training and reward programs, and move beyond the turf wars and lack of productivity that hamper the success of mergers and acquisitions.

                              Last year more than 7,000 mergers and acquisitions were completed, with a collective price tag estimated at more than $800 billion. And although they are known as highly effective means of achieving corporate growth and strategic advantage, these transactions are fraught with pitfalls: Statistics indicate that a third of these deals will fail and another third will not bear out the expectations of the merger partners. What can businesses looking to undertake strategic mergers and acquisitions do to ensure that they do not fall victim to confusion, multimillion-dollar losses, declining market share and profits, or any number of other negative results of failed transactions?

                              The answers are in Winning at Mergers and Acquisitions, a pioneering step-by-step guide to growth-driven planning and swift, effective post-merger integration. Challenging the conventional emphasis on cost-reduction synergies, this book presents the authors' groundbreaking blueprint for mergers that yield strategic synergies and high returns in meeting long-term growth, increased market share, and revenue generation objectives.

                              Mark Clemente and David Greenspan explore in detail the marketing, sales, and organizational issues that are vital aspects of successful M&A ventures. They take executives through the entire strategic M&A process-from setting objectives, to evaluating target companies, to aligning corporate cultures in an effort to ensure problem-free integration. They show how to maintain a sharp focus on the markets that will be reached by the merger-and they offer invaluable advice on charting a steady course through the often tumultuous period of integration, when organizational chaos can cause the merged company to lose momentum, market share, and the backing of customers, prospects, and shareholders.

                              Winning at Mergers and Acquisitions is essential reading for CEOs, managers, deal makers, and others looking to capitalize on one of the most important methods of effecting corporate growth in business today-while staying focused on the people, product, and process issues that power that growth.

                              5 out of 5 stars Gave me the advantage i needed........2003-12-13

                              Several years ago I was in a class at Cornell Law School that Drs. Clemente & Greenspan taught. Winning at M&A was a required text and their insights from working on several high profile deals were inspiring. Just a few years later, I am a successful in-house counsel to many recent acquisitions of a relatively high profile multi-national corporation. I have had the opportunity to share the finer lessons from Winning at M&A with our COO, director of Corporate Development, and our head of HR. Drs. Clemente & Greenspan have written an important book whose lessons seem to transcend time or circumstance. Just like Peter Drucker's management wisdom seems to apply to every company, economic environment, and business circumstance over the last 50 years, the work and guidance of Clemente & Greenspan in Winning at Mergers seems to be timeless and evolutionary. It allowed me as someone with little experience in the realm of consolidation and backwards integration to understand the ins and out of the process before I had ever sat in on a deal. This book should be read and kept by those who want to learn about business, marketing, or M&A.

                              5 out of 5 stars Well put together and soundly presented.......2003-02-28

                              I just got this book as a gift. WOW!!!!!! It's very well written and the ideas are refreshing compared with the beancounter approach of all the accountant types who crush companies, cut the staff in half, and gut the core. We all know companies that have just thrown away the wrong people and slashed all their expenses (especially marketing) to make the numbers work so they can get their stock to budge or the consultants/Investment bankers to pocket their success fees. This book shows in a very sly way how corrupt the entire M&A world is. Show me a merger and I'll show you a greedy CEO or soul-less investment banker. This book provides helpful solutions to making the worst possible combinations work and pulls back the curtain on the scam of so many business analysts and beancounters who always claim"It's only business; it's not personal." Last time I heard that, I was fired.

                              5 out of 5 stars This book made us $22 million and saved our company big$.......2001-12-24

                              The patented processes in this book helped my company get an actual return on our substantial investment by driving revenue and saving us millions. A roadmap for success,the book walks through all stages of the deal. It starts with the out-of-the-box "marketing due diligence" which honestly reveels the shortcomings of traditional due diligence. A jealous reviewer here calls it unrealistic, yet it's used by most of us in the Fortune 50 (he must have lost the contract to these guys) The writing is smooth and keeps your interest all the way and it gets quickly to the meat and potatoes focusing on revenue enhancement.(SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!) Anyone who's worked on a deal knows this is where the rubber meets the road. Even a fool can cut costs after a merger, but a failure of so many deals is not gerating revenue. The book using examples and case-studies explains how to fill what the author calls "the revenue enhancement opportunity pipeline." It virtually put money in our pocket!! Sheer genius. The middle sections of the book address combining products, services, customer bases, personnel decision-making criteria, management functions and proceses. The last 200 pages detail specific strategies and tactics for successful integration. Discussing the most commmon challenges, how to align corporate culture, employee and customer communication strategies, training and development, reward and recognition prohgrams,theres even a very comprehensive chapter on designing the new organizational structure. No book I have read on this subject speaks about so many important aspects and in such detail. The seven members of our management team each read this book over and over and used it as our gameplan constantly referring to it over the 8 months we worked on this deal. It was like having a consultant on staff! Our deal was a success BECAUSE of this book. Other companies, afraid to break with the traditional practices that only work half of the time, will be destined to repeat their failures. Heaven help their shareholders.

                              5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and complex.......2001-09-24

                              This is a great book. Similar to Jemison's Managing Acquisitions, this is a book that provides extensive information on many strategic topics. The book is well-written, far from dry, yet really digs down deep. It departs from Jemison in its real-world application. The book details where other companies have gone wrong and where others have made the right decisions. It is a bit high level, so I don't think it would suffice as one's first introduction to business. But I was exposed to this book as a grad student at Vanderbilt and it has plugged me in more quickly to the world of organizational design, cultural analysis, and specific business strategies than I would have guessed. Real interesting book. I could see having it around for a long time to come.

                              4 out of 5 stars fascinating and stimulating.......2001-09-11

                              Winning at Mergers is a brilliant book. It is not an ABC of M&A. As a former investment banker, I can see how it might turn off those consumed with completing transactions. Several chapters advise against doing deals that would undermine the success of the combined entity. That's a somewhat radical concept considering accountants and bankers have a singular objective in mind when faced with a corporate marriage. This book is ideal for graduate business courses. It takes the reader from the basic M&A 101 accounting-focused level to a broader and more business-focused level. That's what makes it stand out. It's more a book about successful business than number crunching. This book focuses on real-world challenges and operational factors to help a deal move from strategy through completion. It is divided into three parts: strategy; pre-deal (due diligence, etc.); and integration. The chapters on culture, organizational design and integration tactics make it worth the price of admission. No other book that I have read takes this approach. From the detail provided at every step of the way, the guidance seems tried, tested and improved upon. The book is also very well written. Interesting and filled with case studies and quotes that make the insights fresh. As another reviewer suggested, it is the perfect companion book to a dryer and more elementary book like Patrick Gaughin's. Without the insights of Clemente and Greenspan, one ventures into M&A with only a rudimentary understanding of what it truly takes to make a deal work and a company succeed. I recommend this book as a business tool and a reality check on whether one is even approaching transactions correctly.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Concise, but useful.......2007-06-09

                                  This is a relatively small book at about 150 pages, but it manages to pack in a lot of information very concisely. It's beautifully illustrated with color photographs and drawings.

                                  The first 2/3 of the book includes general herb gardening background and use of herbs tips: how to choose plants, pick the location, general design principles, planting instructions (including some nice tips on extending the growing season), propagation, harvesting, drying, pests and diseases, etc.

                                  It also includes suggestions for common culinary uses, such as salads, herbal vinegars, flavored oils, teas, jellies, honeys, and breads. These are not an extensive set of recipes, but more like master recipes with some suggestions for how you can mix them up with variations.

                                  The book also includes suggestions and recipes for health and beauty products (again, not an extensive collection). This section includes potpourri, sachets, bouquets, dried arrangements and insect repellents.

                                  The last 1/3 of the book has individual pages on about 50 different herbs. These individual pages tell you a description, how to grow, harvesting instructions, suggested uses, tips, cultivars, and also includes a quick key on the level of care required (using a 4 glove rating system), if it attracts beneficial insects, whether or not it is ornamental, whether or not it can be grown in a container, how much yield you can expect to get and how easy it is to grow.

                                  The back of the book contains a few pages of resources for laboratories, vendors, herb associations and other books or literary resources.

                                  There are lots of charts and sidebars and overall I found this book to be very useful and easy to access. It doesn't have the level of information needed to make this anything other than a quick reference book though.

                                  5 out of 5 stars in love with herbs.......2007-01-25

                                  I adore this book! Wow! It has all the things I wanted!
                                  - it's organic
                                  - it very thorougly covers many herbs in different formats, so you know everything from what bugs they attract or repel, how tall they grow, and what zone they can be grown in
                                  - common uses for them: I discovered many herbs I thought were inedible plants that are indeed herbs
                                  - easy to use tables

                                  I wasn't too hip on all the cosmetic and craft uses - I'd rather eat them, but they're short and may come in handy. I know the rest of the book sure will!

                                  5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK.......2006-08-23

                                  This is a great book for a beginning herb gardener. The first half of the book is a general overview of gardening techniques, designs, and uses for herbs. The second half gives specific information on growing and using many herbs. This has been extraordinarily helpful to me as background and reference for me.

                                  However, it is pretty basic and only covers the most commonly used herbs, so I'm not sure that advanced herb gardeners would get much out of this.

                                  I really like this book. It is very easy to follow and has a little bit of everything you need to know packed into the book. I bought it for the outside herb garden design, but I changed my mind. I am trying a kitchen garden, growing the herbs inside in containers. If you are new to herb gardening, this is the perfect book. And in my opinion, it is the only book you will need. I want to use the fragrant herbs for sachet crafts and dry some herbs for cooking. These will be terrific gifts for my DIL because she buys and uses a lot of herbs for cooking and will never have the time to grown them. You will never put this book away. There are so many possibilities of what to do with herbs.

                                  This is a wonderful book for biointensive organic gardeners. It is packed full of information about how plants affect each other. It also has information about how different plants or weeds are used. It is lacking in some of the latin nomenclature when referring to certain plants, but overall they do a good job. The body of the book is an alphabetical list of vegetables and other herbs, plants and some vocabulary having to do with organic gardening. It is easy to read and easy to use when planning your garden.

                                              The practice of tin glaze spans thousands of years of history, from its inception in Mesopotamia, through its flowering in Islamic culture, its brilliant heyday during the Italian Renaissance, and its current active revival around the world. It has always been a medium both varied and expressive that has inspired ceramists and artists alike over the centuries to ply their brushes in an exuberance of painted decoration and narrative. Within the field of ceramics, maiolica, with its stable color-holding glaze surface, is unique as a medium--indeed, it has been called a painter's medium.

                                              The New Maiolica is conceived by Matthias Ostermann as a workshop in print, guiding the reader progressively through some of the conceptual, material, and technical concerns that inform this versatile and compelling medium.

                                              The work of more than fifty international ceramists is shown, giving evidence to the great variety of contemporary expression in tin glaze. There is also an examination of the problems that can occur in maiolica production, and suggested solutions, followed by a list of recommended reading, with food for philosophical, aesthetic, and technical thought.

                                              While I prefer traditional Italian maiolica to contemporary, this book is still excellent. It is filled with glaze recipes and practical technical information. This book is worth it's purchase price just for it's 8 page Troubleshooting chapter.

                                              I recently purchased four or five books on ceramics. This was by far my favorite. The beautiful work is inspiring and well presented with clear how to information. He even shows what brushes he uses for each and every stroke.

                                              I found that the artwork is beautifully featured in this book and many of today's finest potters' work can be viewed. In particular, I truly enjoyed Ostermann's feature on up and coming Ontario potter-Richard Mund. His beautifully decorated work makes this book a new favorite for reference, inspiration and knowledge.

                                                    Book Description

                                                    The craft of craft, the art of craft - here in Canada we're just starting to really talk about these things. In March 1999, Jean Johnson, who runs Toronto's Craft Studio at Harbourfr ont Centre, organized a wildly successful symposium on the state of craft in Canada. Curators, writers, critics, academics and craftspeople spoke about all aspects of craft: history, practice, theory, criticism. Taken together, these papers create a clear picture of the vibrant crafts scene in Canada.

                                                    The symposium was a groundbreaking event, a first in Canada, offering to the crafts community a new depth of consideration. The book, too, is a Canadian first, and it will allow a dialogue about the academic side of the craft movement to continue.

                                                    Each of the book's three sections, History, Theory and Critical Writing, contains a keynote paper and essays by experts in each field, including Mark Kingwell writing 'On Style,' Blake Gopnik on 'Reviewing Craft Exhibitions for the Art Pages,' and Robin Metcalfe addressing 'Teacup Readings: Contextualizing Craft in the Art Gallery.'

                                                      Kidding Around with the King of Comedy

                                                      Jim Carrey is used to being laughed at. In fact, he thrives on entertaining others. As a precocious young boy, he practiced pulling faces in the bathroom mirror -- a talent that would later prove to be instrumental in his success -- and performed self-created skits for his family.

                                                      Unfortunately, his life wasn't one smooth cruise to the top. The Canadian-born funnyman's rags-to-riches tale is the stuff dreams are made of.

                                                      Since his early smash hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the blockbuster movie roles just keep on coming. But Carrey isn't content simply to play it safe and stick with the slapstick comedy roles he knows and performs so confidently. In fact, with releases such as The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, Carrey has challenged himself creatively and shown audiences that he is capable of demonstrating sensitivity and immense dramatic range. With his latest hit move, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, this shooting star's future just keeps getting brighter!

                                                      3 out of 5 stars Not a very long read, no new info..........2002-06-16

                                                      If you are an avid reader, and thus have read other bios of Jim Carrey, this book, although seemingly accurate, is just a time filler. Nothing new, just a different premise. As an adoring Jim Carrey fan forever, it was fine to finish through, and it listed all of his screen prefomances, even had a Jim Carrey quiz to see how much you know, but this isnt a book of defined details. It is very brief and seems geared toward teens. Much better JC bios out there, but it will do for the time being.

                                                      2 out of 5 stars Meant More For Kids.......2001-03-10

                                                      I recently bought this book and was disappointed to realize it was intended more for kids than adults. It has the facts but the writing isn't very great. There is no emotion in this book unless you search for it, the way it's written is more like a chronological list of the events in Jim Carrey's life than a story about a man. It does tell the very basic story of Jim Carrey's struggle to achieve his dreams so if you're interested in Jim Carrey it's not all bad, but I think 'The Joker Is Wild' will be a much better biography than this. But hey, if you're buying this book for a kid, go for it. Jim Carrey's is a very inspirational story, a true rags-to-riches tale. Only his story is real.

                                                      I gave it two stars because I'm still a huge Carrey fan, so if it had been a picture book I wouldn't be completely disatisfied.

                                                      5 out of 5 stars One of my new Favs.......2001-02-21

                                                      This was such a great book. I really enjoyed reading so many interesting details about him that i never knew!

                                                        Book Description

                                                        Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury (668SH90), shaped the English Church into a structure it has retained for a millennium. Yet until recently he has remained a shadowy figure, whose early career in the Near East and at Rome has been unknown. In this book, which builds on the 1994 publication of previously unprinted Biblical commentaries from Theodore's Canterbury school, internationally distinguished scholars provide a fresh account of the career and writings of a unique personality who brought to Anglo-Saxon England the cultural heritage of Syria, Byzantium and Rome.
