Hated it........2006-12-21

I might not be entirely fair for me to rate it because I didn't even finish it, but I couldn't manage to drag myself through this tedious book. I felt like I was wasting time and grey matter. Filled with inane jokes about dieting/being fat/being old, this book is like sitting in a room full of middle-aged women and having them giggle out platitudes like "Remeber: Dessert is stressed backward!" (yes this is actually in the book). If you like that kind of thing, you might love this book. I'm not one of those people.

The tips given in this book are about as obvious as they get (volunteer, work part time, do what interests you, etc.) and if you need a book to tell you these things you're gonna need a lot more help than just this book alone. The anecdotal bits are an interesting enough read, though IMO not enough to carry the book through its plethera of regurgitated advice. There are better books out there, and this might be a decent enough read if this is your first exposure to such topics, and if you don't mind the trite comments (to be fair, it was only a few per chapter), but I personally thought it was a waste of time and money. You'll be finding my copy in the used section.

Wonderful Strategy Book.......2005-06-01

I have just finished this book. I wished that I could have given it more stars. The book helped me to map out a strategy for going back to work. It is very inspirational.

Going Back to Work....fabulous.......2005-04-16

I recently checked this book out of the library and am I ever glad I did! As a stay-at-home mom and business owner, I think about what it will be like when my three kids are off in college and it's just me and my husband again. I tell my friends to "get a life now because our kids will be gone one day," this book will definitely be read and reread as I go through this complex decision process. I'm now 40 years old and wondering what I want to do when I grow up, Going Back to Work will be a wonderful help with real life examples from all walks of life. It's an intelligent look at the real issues we all wrestle with as wives and mothers about our importance to our families and our contribution to our communities. I loved it and am recommending it to my friends and acquaintences.

Lots of creative ideas and practical tips.......2004-08-25

I really enjoyed this book and got lots of useful ideas from it. My toddler will be ready for preschool soon and I am faced with the usual dilemma of how to resume my career while balancing family responsibilities. I know I don't want to return the corporate hamster wheel, but I need to do something interesting and stimulating.

Quigley and Kaufman give plenty of examples of creative solutions to this dilemma and some very practical tips on how to get there. They start with how to make the decision to go back to work, how to decide what to do and how to win your family's support. They even cover resume writing, interviewing and handling difficult bosses.

I highly recommend this well-written book to anyone who is thinking about going back to work after having kids. I also think it should be required reading for HR managers.

Going Back to Work: A Survival guide for Comeback Moms.......2004-08-06

Quigly and Kaufman's "Going Back to Work" was just what I needed to complete the "re-invention" of myself!
I was not a "stay at home mom". I had climbed the ladder to the top of my career of over 25 years while juggling a son, husband, and home. One week before 9/11 I was downsized from my job of over 16 years. After 9/11 I realized that working 50-60 hour weeks and making good money was not as important as my having time with my family, home and personal happiness.
I went back to school for technical skills on the computer and just graduated with honors. I am re-trained for a new career.....but now what?
In reading "Going Back to Work" I see that I am no different than someone who has stayed home many years raising her family.
We all share emotions of fear and anxiety starting a new career path from the bottom. We also share dreams and goals for personal growth, challenges, worth and satisfaction.I also do not necessarily want to have a fulltime job and Quigley and Kaufman have given me the knowledge and tools to get that flextime position!
As a 48 year old who does not know who I will be when I grow up, I recommend "Going Back to Work" as a great resource and confidence builder for your first step back into the work force. Read this book and good luck in your new job!

Interesting and useful, but very incomplete information.......2002-11-13

This book has some useful information in it, about diet, vitamins and supplements for your older horse, and gives a nice (though not in-depth) overview of some of the health concerns for older horses. However, it is shockingly incomplete in some areas. For example, I bought the book in part because it has a whole chapter on arthritis, a problem for my own older horse. But in this entire chapter, not once were any of the current injection treatments (either the intramuscular or intravenous ones such as Adequan or Legend, or the hyaluronic acid & steriod joint injections) even mentioned, let alone described and discussed. Treatments such as oral joint supplements, regular exercise, treating arthritis with ice, etc., were presented; this is useful information as far as it goes, but of limited value to a horse such as mine who is already exercised regularly and already on oral joint supplements, and still suffering from arthritis. The author clearly prefers natural and alternative treatments over traditional ones throughout the book; this would be fine if both the `natural' and `traditional' treatments were still covered and discussed. But to not even mention the most common current veterinary treatments for arthritis is an inexplicable and glaring omission, and it made me wonder just how incomplete and selective all the other chapters are in the information they cover. Also, while this book is over 300 pages which sounds like a lot of information, there are huge margins on each page and big spacing between the lines, and it is heavily padded with redundant or unnecessary text. (For example, do we really need a one-and-a-half page lecture on what happens if we don't take good care of our automobile as it gets older, to understand that good preventive care of a horse helps it age well? Often the author uses a whole page to say what could be said in one sentence. One gets the impression this was a deliberate strategy used to reach the target number of pages. After all, you can charge more $$ for a fat book than a skinny one.) So it really doesn't have as much information as the number of pages suggests.

10 years is old?.......2002-07-02

Ok, first off, 10-15 is not old. IF it was old, then why would the proffesional hunter- jumpers be using horses in that age range? I have an 11 year old ex racehorse, who still thinks he's 4. My horse is still going strong and is learning a lot. If he is so old and decrepi, then why would he still be so rambunctious, even if I ride him for an hour and a half 6 out of the 7 days a week? So to all of you who have a horse this age, don't buy this book because your horse isn't old!(Unless it has injuries that make it seem old)

Invaluable Guide for the Older Horse Owner.......2000-07-10

Keeping the Older Horse Young is a great book for concerned owners of older horses. I have an 11 year old gelding that I didn't ever really think of as an "older horse", but he has had recent injuries that have led me to seek information from just about any source in order to help him. I'm really glad I took a chance on this book. I particularly enjoyed the wonderful chapters on arthritis and alternative/complementary medicine. They cover the gamut of supplement and alternative therapy options and provide valuable ideas for treating horses suffering from the pain of arthritis. After reading them, I now have a handful of new ideas to try for my gelding's non-arthritis-related injury as well. The book also includes many other topics of interest to older horse owners including chapters on preventable causes of aging, diet, exercise, routine health care, and health problems particular to the older horse. The book is clearly-written and very thorough. I found a lot of information that was useful immediately, and more that I will be able to refer to as my horse gets even older. For anyone who wants to help their equine partner live a long and useful life, this book is invaluable.

Book Description

Study of the Geography of 1 Enoch 17-19 examines the travels of the patriarch Enoch who is given a guided tour of extraordinary and at times terrifying places located throughout the cosmos. Coblentz Bautch clarifies the text of 1 Enoch 17-19 by explaining how the sites described relate to one another geographically and by reconstructing the mental map of the geography that lies behind the textual descriptions. Especially provocative is the consideration of sources from the ancient Near East, Hebrew Bible and the world of Hellenistic Judaism that may have informed the world view of 1 Enoch 17-19 and parallel traditions. Through this study an important facet of apocalypses is illumined: their portrayal of geography and sacred space.
