5 out of 5 stars Every office needs this guide!.......2003-11-27

I run travel programs for a consulting firm and several large business clients, and I use this guide constantly. I received it as a gift from a friend and have since given copies away to others as well. It provides all of the travel necessities, such as phone numbers that actually get answered at airlines, as well as information on all of the extras that it takes to pamper your Execs and important clients. I can't believe more people haven't heard about this book! It will be as popular as the Zagat guides as soon as the word gets out.

        4 out of 5 stars Passionate cooking from a passionate man.......2001-01-21

        This is a great cookbook, not only Italian but some other cuisines as well, e.g. one of my favorites, Cabbage and sausage with apples. Unbelievably good! To use his recipes after seeing him on PBS is great! This guy is terrific. Hope someday to eat at his restaurant. All his cookbooks are terrific.

        5 out of 5 stars He's the BEST!.......2000-04-28

        Nick Stellino's television shows and cookbooks are wonderful. His recipes don't call for any exotic ingredients and the instructions are not complicated in any way. I had the opportunity to see him in person doing a cooking demonstration and he is as entertaining in person as he is on TV. And he ended the demo saying "from my heart to your kitchen, arriva derci!" You've got to love him!

        5 out of 5 stars Seductive, fabulous food.......1999-11-10

        I bought this book for my husband before we were married and we dipped into it now and again to experiment with some of the recipes. Every one we tried was a resounding success. We surprised ourselves with how wonderfully these dishes turned out! Many unusual and creative dishes, from antipastos through to desserts. The entrees include wine, dessert and salad/side dish recommendations for easy menu planning. Every recipe has a heartwarming story behind it's history and inclusion in the book as a favorite of Nick's. The only thing the book lacks is photographs of the foods. I almost didn't buy the book because of this, but the stories in the margins and the descriptions of the recipes seduced me. Now, the lack of photos is part of the intrigue of this book--it forces me to focus on the power of the recipe and makes trying the different dishes all the more alluring because of the mystery behind what the dishes will look like when they're complete. Each one has been a surprise and a delight. Some are a bit labor intensive, but I love the challenge and it's fun to watch the metamorphosis of simple ingredients into art. Particular favorites: the asparagus salad, baked pasta in eggplant and the TORTA RUSTICA! My family thinks I'm a culinary genius anytime I try any of these on them for the holidays. My parents start making special requests! Usually for encore performances. And I haven't seen most of these recipes anywhere else. All are unique (including the desserts which are mostly fruit and/or nut oriented, rather than cakes and pastries as found in most cookbooks.) Great fun! My favorite cookbook to turn to when I want to play in my kitchen.

        I actually bought this book after watching his great PBS show, and now I'm after copies to give as gifts! His life and joy for his cooking really comes through with these great recipes! It really is an exploration of food, using tasty ingredients (I had my grocier in fits looking for all of it!), and prividing recipes both easy and--more involved! A great book! I highly recommend it!

          2 out of 5 stars Boring!.......2007-10-22

          This book has little to recommend it in my opinion.

          He needs an editor--badly. It has a multiplicity of typos, which I find distracting. He defines jargon with more jargon. He cites his own work more than anyone else's. It's information-like but not really informative. When I finish reading a chapter, I don't feel like I've gotten one solid idea out of it. [Unfortunately I have to read it for a class I'm taking.]

          The design of the book adds to its lack of readability.

          The stories at the beginning of each chapter are interesting but he didn't write them.

          My advice: Save your time and money. Approach management from the standpoint of commonsense and treat your employees the way you would want to be treated.

          4 out of 5 stars First rate management textbook.......2007-05-21

          For a textbook on what is a fairly dry subject this is surprisingly readable, with complex ideas discussed in a lucid and informative manner. The author addresses a wide range of topics under the umbrella of Management of Technology, from theories of motivation to the Request for Quote process, along the way covering project organization, the impact of new technology and tools for planning and controlling project work. Many references are provided for further study, should the reader wish to delve deeper into the academic underpinnings of the book.

          Particular highlights are sections on motivation of technology specialists, organizing for project work (with emphasis on the plusses and minuses of matrix approaches) and project management tools. The discussion on why project managers don't use all the tools available is especially thought provoking.

          There is some padding (the chapters on managing environmental quality and using consultants don't add much) and too many typos, some of which do change the author's meaning, but overall this will be a useful reference for anyone who manages engineers and scientists or is studying engineering management.

              Managing Innovation: New Technology, New Products, and New Services in a Global Economy, 2nd Edition is devoted to providing a better understanding and better management of all of the causes and consequences of change that have technological implications in and around our global organizations. This text is a unique, original contribution and represents a significant alternative to the collection of chapters written by others.

The key subjects that are included have been significantly updated and treated in greater depth. The number of chapters has been reduced from 12 to 10 so it is easy to adapt to almost any course or training on the subject in any discipline or to any audience.

              This exceptionally informative book provides a broad perspective on how technological change can be effectively managed in modern organizations. The text explains the conceptual frameworks supported by new and original case studies for start-up companies like Askmen.com, the complex challenges of managing international technology-based companies like NexPress (a joint venture of Kodak and Heidelberg) in the digital printing industry, and corporate sustainability using innovative new product technologies illustrated by the case of Evinrudes launch of the E-tec® outboard motor.

              John E. Ettlie's three decades in the field of innovation as an instructor and researcher bring an exceptional perspective to this subject. His text is unique in its discussion of how technology has transformed the service sector. Few books on technology make the distinction between new offerings in manufacturing and the service sector which is emphasized in this text.

              * New and original case studies: Gillette Sensor Razor, HP Inkjet, IBM, Kodak Single Use Camera, Denver International Airport, Microsoft, Honda

              Book Description

              This book centres on the ways in which ordinary firms can improve technology management. It provides a welcome alternative to the existing literature that focuses almost exclusively on leading edge firms such as IBM or Microsoft.
              The authors argue that succeeding as a follower-firm requires learning from many experiences and avoiding simplistic 'how-to' approaches that prescribe one best practice. They assert that there are many 'leading edges' and that they appear in the most unlikely places. The book contains major case studies of firms from industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, software, garments, beer and steel, drawn from twelve different countries.
              From a follower perspective, individual chapters cover:
              *the role of innovation on the shop-floor
              *the importance of mixing process and product innovation
              *the challenges involved in building an innovation culture
              *the special role of research and development, and of design.

              These topics ensure a deeper understanding of strategy in follower-firms, simultaneously providing insight for public policy in building local technological capacity.

                Book Description

                Managing New Product Development and Innovation provides a new approach to the microeconomics of innovation by measuring the technical quality of new products and guiding the managers of innovation and technology in the central considerations of today's knowledge-based companies.

                The volume features a selection of practical microeconomic tools for managing new product development and innovation. By quantifying product features and evaluating the costs and market value of improvements, a simple yet powerful conceptual framework is created. Using this framework, creative business models can be built, along with innovative products, services and processes that achieve marketplace success.

                The authors address five key questions facing managers of knowledge-based companies: € Which new features should be added to existing products? € Which radically new features should be innovated? € How can marketing and R&D be integrated? € How can the value of brand names be estimated and optimized? € How can the sophistication of product technology be measured - both at a given point in time and between two points in time?

                4 out of 5 stars Managing New Product Development and Innovation: A Microecon.......2001-12-11

                I think this is a real handy tool not just for people who do not have a strong background in Management and Economics, but also for those who had spend many years studying this subjects and need to organize their knowledge. This book simplify the task of accessing references, and also creates on the reader the notion of the dynamic links between the different topics mentioned on the book.

                  Book Description

                  New product design and development is often the result of personal vision. Harnessing this often requires a special receptiveness and enthusiasm at all levels of an organization, which serves to unlock potential and can turn the entire organizational pyramid upside-down. It is particularly important to understand and develop those aspects of design which can be constructively employed by designers in a strategic alliance with management and research.; The papers in this volume result from the conference of the Design Society held at the University of Central England in September 1998. They show how design-led product development has worked in a range of industries, from engineering through to design and management consultancy. Not only practitioners but also students of industrial design and management should find this a valuable contribution to the subject.

                        5 out of 5 stars Best Fund Guide I've Seen.......2002-06-04

                        This is by far the most comprehensive and easy to use mutual fund guide on the market. It contains performance information for hundreds of funds, so you can easily compare the returns of funds you own now. It also includes specific fund recommendations for almost every investment category, including full page profiles of each fund. I also liked that the book was very easy to understand, and shows everything from what funds are to how to put a portfolio together. It's much better than other books I've seen on the subject.

                        1 out of 5 stars What a waste.......2002-05-21

                        before you buy this book, look at some others such Morningstar's books--they are the real pros, not this guy.

                        In Jesus in the Midst of Success, Charles and Janet Morris introduce readers to people who have "not only learned how to incorporate their Christian ideals with their worldly success, but they have also learned to use Jesus' teachings to help them achieve their success." As the authors say elsewhere, "We all want to succeed in our chosen fields, but the real challenge is not to turn our backs on our spiritual values while on the road to success."

                        5 out of 5 stars Great insight to the gospel through entertaining stories!.......2000-06-29

                        Charles and Janet Morris have captured the conflict between the world of materialism and the Word of God. Their wonderful insight into how God views success in comparison to how the world views success is intricately wrapped into the real-life mini-biographies of successful Christians. Far from being a "how to" book, the Morris' continually point to Jesus and the necessity of applying His forgiveness and power to change your life every day in order to survive as a Christian in the City of Man. One is left feeling refreshed and joyful rather than burdened by another plan to "earn" the blessing of God by more rules to follow. The authors get an excellent rating for sticking to the Gospel and keeping the book engaging and interesting through wonderfully weaved words and storytelling.
