Book Description

This is the first comprehensive book to be published on the subject of intuition in management, a key element in business thinking and practice. The conventional management approach based on analytical problem solving is no longer adequate by itself to cope with accelerating change, complexity, uncertainty and conflict. The book presents a conceptual framework of intuition as well as extensive material on its application, especially to corporate vision building. Intuition is thought provoking and well-grounded, being based upon a global survey of more than 1,300 practising managers in nine countries - USA, UK, Austria, Brazil, France, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden. This book is invaluable not only for managers and management educators, but also for those interested in enhancing their intuitive capacities. The reader will not only get clearer insights about the concept of intuition, but also learn processes for applying intuition to decision making in general and vision building in particular.

Book Description

We all know that pumpkin pie is super, so why not enjoy more of this delicious, nutritious squash in year-round recipes? Dee Dee Stovel carves out a new image for pumpkin with such creative combinations as Roasted Ginger Pumpkin & Pear Soup; Pumpkin Sage Risotto; Spring Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Pepitas; White Bean, Chicken, and Pumpkin Chili; Pumpkin Pizza with Gorgonzola Cheese; and Pork Tenderloin with Red Wine Pumpkin Sauce.

These 125 recipes celebrate the varied ways that pumpkin can enhance a wide range of dishes, from beverages, starters, and snacks to soups, salads, main courses, and, of course, pies, cookies, breads, and cakes. Whether starting from the whole pumpkin (which, Stovel shows, is easier than many may think) or from canned pumpkin (a fine alternative), cooks will be surprised by the variety of ways they can use the entire fruit, including blossoms and seeds, as well as the pulp itself.

Special features include complete menus and decorating and entertaining ideas for harvest celebrations and Halloween parties, as well as sidebars highlighting pumpkin festivals, lore, and growing facts. With pumpkin acreage and sales growing every year, and more health writers touting the fruit’s nutritional powers, Pumpkin comes to the rescue for everyone who wants to expand their cooking repertoire.

I love pumpkin pie and make it every year. But when I saw this book I was intruiged. Can you really make a dish for every course with pumpkin? Surely not! Oh, but yes... you can. I am hooked.
I am a pumpkin-cooking fool now!
So yummy, so good for you and it makes you smile. I've even been inspired to use pumpkin in some of my old favorite recipes. The fam loves it and my coworkers are begging me for the recipes. Well, they're getting copies of this book for christmas :)

This is a unique book with winning recipes. I have tried the bread, scone, and soup recipes and found them to be delicious, as well as nutritious. I have purchased this book for myself, as well as for gifts, and I would highly recommend!

Pumpkin pleasure.......2007-02-12

A really splendid package of menu's to suit all tastes and personalities. Our grandchildren refer to Pumpkin soups as Grandma's special soups and are always on the look out for variations, so this book has served as a wonderful insight to all the variations that are now possible.
The fact that this book also includes a miriad of other recipes, not normally found in the UK, has proved a treasure and it looks as if we shall continue to grow a regular crop of these wonderful vegetables for many years to come

If you love fresh pumpkin, you'll love the recipe book........2007-01-10

DeeDee Stovel's guide to using fresh pumpkin in a variety of excellent pumpkin dishes is a joy to read due to easy step by step directions. Her knowledge of this food is excellent and she creates a wide variety of recipies for different tastes. I've purchased a copy for myself and have given several as gifts.
Enjoy!

super food, super cookbook.......2006-08-11

I have to start out by saying I LOVE pumkin, but have had a hard time finding recipes that extend far beyond your typical Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Until I found this book, that is. As stated by another reviewer, the author gives great instructions on how to prepare pumpkin, which is great for people like me who have only cooked with the canned puree. Not to say that you have to have a pumpin patch to use this cookbook; on the contrary, the author offers a wide variety of recipes, utilizing both fresh and canned pumpkin. There is also a very handy list that organizes the recipes by the type of pumpkin used (canned, roasted, etc.) so you can easily find a way to use what you have on hand. Every recipe that I have tried to far has been great, epecially the Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins. *** I have to add to this and say that the pumpkin-molasses snaps alone make this book worth buying! My family polishes them off and then requests them again before the cookie sheets have cooled!

Excellent for do-it-yourself investors!.......2001-11-14

I read a lot of books and articles on personal finance and investing - this book is one of the best I have read and acted on....the author really motivates you to plan your portfolio...and he sure has a lucid way to make it look easy. If you're committed to getting a sense of your financial life and want to build a comprehensive investment portfolio, get this book!

VWS review of Conover's Astute Investing.......2001-11-14

This book provides the most systematic approach to investing I havc encountered. Its step-by-step approach walks one through the process from establishment of investment objectives through examination of investment alternatives and the selection of funds based on meaningful criteria. Very well presented, and most certainly highly recommended!

This is a user-friendly comprehensive book for investors.......1999-10-30

I thought I knew how to select a mutual fund and to diversify my portfolio before I read this book. Now I have adjustments to make. Conover gives valuable tables of criteria for bonds and funds, which I copied for personal use, and he offers his own slightly-outdated top picks. This is a must read for unsure investors with any investing horizon!

An excellent step-by-step guide to investing.......1998-06-03

A terrific book for anyone trying to gain a better understanding of investments and how to prepare for the major financial events in life. Conover combines common sense with specific advice about which mutual funds to buy and how to create a personalized financial game plan. Very readable and concise.

Book Description

Reinterpreting the American Dream is a uniquely pragmatic book on ethics and religion in today's world. Primeaux uncovers the complexity of human nature, in all of its potential for evolution. Though written from a Catholic viewpoint, the book encourages openness in the search for truth, postulating that this quest is the ultimate meaning in life. In an approach that emphasizes honesty with respect for others, and pragmatism with an eye for growth, the author sets the stage for those individuals who want to escape from the "disconnections of independence and the connections of dependence into the interconnections of interdependence." A challenging read on a personal level, yet highly applicable to business ethics and the larger society, "Reinterpreting the American Dream" will be of interest to philosophers, sociologists, students of ethics and the general educated public.

The Ultimate KISS Book.......2000-06-07

I have read so many books on KISS, I could tell you every thing you needed to know about 'em, but this one day I came upon a book in the Rock 'n Roll section at my library, so I took it home and read the whold thing in one night; it was amazing. Want details, action, bios, info, and so much more buy this book, chances are you will not find it in your library so get it at Amazon.com.........and beleive me, you WILL NOT regret it!

Book Description

It is a story that has gone down in the annals of American art history: a New Yorker visiting upstate Hoosick Falls is entranced by four pictures hanging in the window of a drugstore. Investigating further, he learns they are the handiwork of a 78-year-old widow. Thus begins the rise to fame of Grandma Moses--farmwife, painter, and unlikely celebrity.

In this book Karal Ann Marling, distinguished observer of American visual culture, looks at Grandma Moses as a cultural phenomenon of the postwar period and explores the meaning of her subject matter--and her astonishing fame. What did the "Greatest Generation" see in her simple renderings of people, young and old, tapping maple trees for syrup, making apple butter, gliding across snowy fields on sleighs? Why did Bob Hope, Irving Berlin, and Harry Truman all love her--and the art czars of New York openly despise her? Through the flood of Moses merchandise--splashed across Christmas cards, dishware, yard goods, and gewgaws of every kind--Marling traces the resonances that these "primitive" images struck in an America awkwardly adjusting to a new era of technology, suburbia, and Cold War tensions.

Between the cultural ephemera, folklore, song, and history embedded in Moses' paintings and the potent advertising shorthand for Americana that her images rapidly became, this book reveals the widespread longing for the memories, comforts, and small victories of a mythic, intimate American past tapped by the phenomenon--in art and commerce alike--of Grandma Moses.

Book Description

What could be better than a visit to Grandma's? A sleepover, of course! But despite all the excitement, despite Grandma's delicious special meal, and despite Grandpa's fun games, there's still a moment when home suddenly seems very far away. That's when Grandma tells a soothing story and presents a family heirloom--a quilt to keep her granddaughter cozy all night long.

Mary Ann Hoberman and Tiphanie Beeke have together created a universal tale about the love and comfort that only a grandma can provide.

I got this for my almost-three-year-old son right before we flew to visit his Grandma. He loved the book and was very excited about the trip beforehand. It gave him a little bit of an idea about what to expect. For example, he saw a person in uniform walk by in the airport and asked if she was the flight attendant because he had learned that word in the book. It was also the type of book that he was able to memorize and knew the words that came next, having read it a couple of times. I recommend it!

My daughter's favorite.......2002-06-17

My 21/2 year old daughter adores all Amanda Pig books but this is a particular favorite. She laughs like a drain at the antics of the pigs in the story about the thunderstorm. The story about Amanda and Grandmother helping each other has encouraged Katie to offer to help me with chores too.

An O.K book.......2000-11-13

Grandmother is no fun. She can't read to Amanda because she keeps losing her glasses, and she can't help Oliver build with blocks because she can't sit on the floor. But she can tell stories,and sing songs... and soon Oliver, Amanda and Grandmother Pig are the best of Friends!!
