Marketing Phrase Book (Professional Edition).......2001-07-12

On receipt of this book I was reminded of the Spanish proverb "cheat me on price...never on product"

The content of this publication provides a useful shortcut to the dictionary. However, having paid ... for this product, I must stress my disappointment with the physical quality. It is poorly reproduced. Unless you can live with the imperfection of the reproduction, consider buying the non-professional addition of this book and save yourself a lot of dollars in the process.

Book Description

The origins of this book lie in the first Oxford Law Colloquium held in St John's College, Oxford, on 12-13 September 1991, organized by the Faculty of Law of the University of Oxford and the Norton Rose M5 Group, a national association of seven major independent law firms. This, it is hoped, will be the first of many such bubble01ces run on a biennial basis. The aim of each conference will be to combine the specialist knowledge of both practising and academic lawyers on a selected subject, enabling the exploration of fundamental concepts, principles, and trends in particular fields of law of mutual interest and importance. The subject of this first conference - Commercial Aspects of Trusts and Fiduciary Obligations - was chosen for its considerable theoretical and practical importance, and the contributors amply demonstrate both the impact of the law of trusts and the law of fiduciaries upon such diverse subjects as company law and insolvency law and the continuing need for further discussion on the relationship between equity and commercial law. Contributors: Sir Peter Gibson, Sir Peter Millett, Paul Finn, Peter Graham, Jack Beatson, D.D. Prentice, Paul L. Davies, Klaus J. Hopt, Roy Goode, Peter Birks, Hamish Anderson, Harry Wiggin, Jeffrey Schoenblum.

Finally, a cookbook worth using.......2006-10-27

A good cookbook must be a regional one. Huntley Dent's book, The Feast of Santa Fe, is the gem in this class. Most important, all the recipes I have tried in this book have been a success.

The author is straightforward when advising extra effort when a shortcut will not do, such as grinding your own chili powder. Dent is equally candid when convenience is more practical, such as purchasing flour tortillas instead of making them.

I appreciate the author telling how to best prepare the fillings for burritos and enchiladas. The resulting quality you will be hard pressed to find even in the most prestigious New Mexican restaurants. The sauce recipes found in the book are certainly a match for those establishments.

There have been some recipes I tried with a less than authentic but convenient substitute suggested by Dent; the result was still quite good. A perfect example is Chorizo made with kielbasa. It was so easy. The flavor is very New Mexican. Dent's real specialty is in authenticity. There is a recipe for authentic Spanish rice that is easy to make and authentic. This is certainly better than what is served in restaurants.

The book offers so much. I still have some suggested techniques to try with chili sauces. So many recipes are offered with multiple variations. I'm sure it will take years for me to try them all. But I am determined, this is a fun book.

Absolutely the BEST SW Territorial Cuisine - AUTHENTIC!.......2001-12-19

There is no doubt in my mind or on my tongue that this cook book has absolutely the best recipes for SW Territorial Cuisine. When you dine in Santa Fe or Taos, this is the food you eat in private homes or at the best restaurants. The meals are totally authentic. Dent takes you through time and tradition providing descriptions of ingredients and preparation methods that are sure to get your juices flowing! There isn't a better reference. I've given over a dozen of these books to people who have commented on my enchiladas and green chile. Go for it without hesitation!

This is the only Santa Fe cookbook you need.......2001-06-16

This is a splendid book that is both entertaining and informative. The advice on how to choose fresh, ripe produce is very helpful as many of the ingredients mentioned may be foreign to readers.

The Cookbook I Use the Most.......2001-01-01

I have used this cookbook for over 5 years and I still find new things to try. Today I showed this book to my in-laws and they were so excited to see long forgotten recipies from their childhood. I will now buy another copy to give my father-in-law otherwise he will have me make all his favorites everytime he visits.

This cookbook is excellent.......2000-08-07

I have had this book a few years now. Every recipe has been great. The spare ribs with peanuts and chipotle chile sauce are wonderful and completely different. The carne adovado is wonderful served over spaghetti noodles instead of the usual spaghetti sauce. If you are tired of making the same old thing, buy this book.

Book Description

Why is ethics important to organizations?
What are the characteristics of an ethical organization?
How can we audit the ethics of an organization?
What measures and activities stimulate the ethical development of organizations?

This book addresses these questions.
It is easier to say that ethics is necessary than to tell how to organize ethics. This book provides a fundamental and coherent vision on how ethics can be organized in a focused way. This study examines the assumptions for organizing ethics, the pitfalls and phases of such a process, the parts of an ethics audit and the great variety of measures.
The methods and insights illustrated in this book are based partially on practical research. One of these methods, the Ethics Thermometer, was based on more than 150 interviews at various organizations. The Ethics Thermometer has been applied in a great variety of profit and not-for-profit organizations in order to measure an organization's perceived context, conduct and consequences.
This book will be important to scholars in the field of business ethics, as well as to managers and practitioners. For scholars, this study provides general knowledge about auditing and developing the ethics of an organization. A summary is given of the criteria by which the ethical content of an organization can be measured. For managers and practitioners, this study provides concrete suggestions for safeguarding and improving ethics within their organizations.

Book Description

Ariel Sharon, Israel's new Prime Minister, is perhaps one of the most controversial public figures in the Mideast.

He was born in 1928 in a moshav—an agricultural community in which, unlike a kibbutz, residents own their own property—and was raised by parents who were not only ardent Zionists but were also rugged individualists. His father especially was contemptuous of socialism and believed in individual enterprise, raising his son to be self-reliant and physically strong in order to prepare him for the inevitable struggle to establish a Jewish state.

Sharon is perhaps best known as the organizer of what was called Commando Unit 101 and for his original ideas for the training of commando forces, which he later adapted to the training of larger, more traditional armies.

During his military career he personally led many raids into Arab territory and has been criticized for his role in the destruction, in 1953, of some forty Arab homes—which he insists he thought were empty and in which sixty-nine Arabs died. Later, in 1982, he was blamed also for allowing the Lebanese Militia into a Palestinian refugee camp in which hundreds were killed.

His political career is of course indelibly colored by his military exploits.

What makes Sharon tick? What kind of a man is he? How did his childhood and early life condition him to become a brilliant commander, controversial soldier and as-yet-untested leader of a small democracy which is divided both within and without?

This first biography in English—frank, but balanced—will perhaps answer some of the questions raised by his career both as a soldier and politician.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2006-06-02

There are verious serious problems with this book. First the book seems to be an attempt to legitimate Sharon and his life after he assumed the premiership. Ya, ya, I do feel he is over demonized but this book goes to far to counter that, glossing over and speaking dryly about important events and disputes. Secondly, or the first fourth of the book (until the 1980's) is nothing more than a paraphrasing of Sharon's biography, using limited sources and no apparent attempt to do any in depth research or interviews. Another point is the book is simply not scholarly. It has noticable editing mistakes, content errors (no, Yossi Beilen was not a negotiator at Camp David, come oh) and the annoying habit of repeating the credentials of people when not necessary (you will not find Marwan Barghouti's name without the extension of "leader of Fatah movement" for example).

All and all, its is interesting for its contemporary accounts, but overall a poorly written and badly timed book. I would not recommend it.

Well written.......2005-05-18

I like this book. Sure, the first third of the book does rely too much on the works of Van Creveld and Morris. And it could have said something more (and something different) about Israel's war in Lebanon. But it is fairly reasonable. It does spend a little time showing how Sharon won the libel suit against Time Magazine. And it has some interesting material from Sharon's time as leader of Unit 101 (an anti-terrorism squad that was formed in 1953, after more than 450 Israelis died in terrorist attacks over a three-year period).

There is plenty of discussion about retaliatory raids for terror attacks. Can one simply ask folks nicely not to allow their towns to sponsor terrorist attacks? Um, no. That does not work. The people in the town simply deny them. And they mention that they are not required to keep Israel safe! Well, what if one fights back? Doesn't that just provoke more terror? Not necessarily. We see that even the Kibeyeh raid did more to slow down terror than increase it.

Still, the best part of this work is the excellent history from 1997 to 2002, which takes up about two thirds of the book. We are told of the BBC's vicious untruths in its program "The Accused," which aired in June of 2001. We read about the Durban conference. And the battle of Jenin. And much more.

I've seen quite a few books about Israel fall down badly when they get to recent history. This one is a big exception to that rule. I recommend it.

a flawed book, but should be read.......2003-02-21

Ok so you bought the autobiography of Sharon and now you want the unbiased account. This book may be in order. The problem is that the book is 557 pages long(text). By page 184 you are at 1990. page 362 is already in 2001. This book makes the fatal mistake of focussing so heavily on the present, dedicating 100 pages to only a few years time when the first 100 pages covers more then 50 years. Is it possible that the current situation is worth so much text? I doubt it. Sharon has lived a life of action, serving in all of Isreals wars, the architect of victory in at least two of them. He is an amazing figure and this book focuses to much on the present, not realizing that daily events in ISreal today are just as important as they were in 1953 or 1976. If the book had dont justice to the other years it should be 5000 pages long. SOmething is fishy in denmark when it comes to this book and I would only recommend it as a history of the modern Sharon era, pick up the autobiography "warrior" to understand the rest of Sharons life.

A Great Disappointment.......2002-11-02

This is not a scholarly work, and not truly a biography (although it does have an elementary review of personal details about Sharon). The presentation is a flat monotone with no attention to relative importance of events discussed. It's as if the authors had daily news bulletins spread out before them, and then give us a synopsis. There is no analysis of significance and import of the events, or background explanation of Israeli and Palestinian personalities, politics or issues. What commentary that is given is by way of quotations (or paraphrases) of recognized authorities in the field, and often this material is without source attribution. Unless the reader has some significant prior understanding of the Israeli/Palestinian situation, much of the book will be confusing and of low informative value.

Don't listen to the critics - their agendas are obvious.......2002-09-27

To truly understand the conflict that rages in the Middle East you have to first understand the players and no player is more complicated than Ariel Sharon. Known across the globe as a hawk and hard liner - Prime Minister Sharon began as a farmer in his often ostracized family and rose through the ranks in an undisciplined quasi-military before the formation of the Israeli Defense Forces ("IDF"). His tenure at the IDF was controversial and turbulent, but highly effective. Sharon entered politics after being forced out of the military and ultimately became the Prime Minister of Israel after the disappointing tenure of Ehud Barak. Sharon: Israel's Warrior-Politician captures the life of this most complicated man in a manner consistently balanced and fair. As a Zionist myself I am suspicious any time a group of academics gather to write about any member of Likud or other right leaning political group in Israel, but as I read this book, I was pleasantly surprised at just how balanced and fair the authors were. As debates rage over whether or not college students should read about Islam - one thing that should be added to every curriculum is a study of the man who has been instrumental at just about every twist and turn of Israeli history. From the first war in Israel to the current conflict - no figure captures the essence of Israel like Ariel Sharon and no book has ever captured the man behind the hawkish right leaning persona. A must read.

Book Description

This is the author´s true story. In 1991, as a foreign student in California, the author studies for a computer science degree, excels academically, and gets along very well with his American friends. But later, five invisible voices call on him, whispering instructions for a prophetic message. The author then strives to find a rational explanation for this phenomenon, attempting to authenticate it with coded illustrations.

But, he is eventually confined in an American psychiatric hospital, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. And after discovering the scientific community´s viewpoint--that all Biblical prophets are mentally ill--the author rethinks all his beliefs, including his faith in God.

He inevitably returns to the Philippines, where he meets a beautiful girl, who becomes his best friend. Surprisingly, in 1999, he discovers an authenticating key for his message, within an ancient writing system of an indigenous tribe, located in the girl´s native province. Unknown to the author previously, their writing is remarkably similar to the codes he drew six years earlier...

A Lost America Needs a Guide to Find Its Way Back.......2004-09-30

When I saw my friends recently reading new books like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code or Harry Potter books, I wondered what the fuss was all about. They were all works of fiction that were cheap imitations. After all, my mum gave me a copy of Little Voices, and this book is the Real McCoy! And by Jove! What a guide! While America loses its way, it refuses to ask for directions, splits itself like a pea-nut and denies that the image on the mirror is itself. Seeing the humour in all this is the best part, and that's where Little Voices shines!

Little Voices.......2001-12-21

I am a man with schizoaffective dissorder and it's similar to what the author of this book has. I liked it mainly because it is his voice and from his point of view. Most of the books about schizophrenia out there are from a third person or a affected female. The first part of the book is the best. Very real in his discription. I'm on Zyprexa and I wish the author would take something also because he still seems somewhat lost. I wish the author luck and it has inspired me to write down things that I experianced. It's a good read, probably not the best, but I belive it shows an authentic view of a schizophrenic.
