Book Description

Según sus autores, las personas sometidas al autoengaño viven y trabajan como si se encontraran encerradas en una caja. Ciegas a la realidad circundante, van minando tanto su propio trabajo como el de los demás. Pero el problema es que, como están encerrados en la caja, no se dan cuenta de ello y, por tanto, no hacen nada por cambiar. Y así, sus resultados tampoco varían.

Tal como se expone en esta obra, se trata de un fenómeno bastante frecuente en el mundo empresarial. La mayor parte de gente pasa mucho tiempo ahí encerrada, y es la multiplicación de cajas la raíz de muchos de los problemas que impiden un mejor rendimiento laboral, afectando a aspectos como el liderazgo, el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, la responsabilidad, la confianza, el compromiso y la motivación.

Book Description

Cajas de cartón is the first title in the literary series Nuestra visión: U.S. Latino Literature, which features original works by Latino authors living and working in the United States. This work is the Spanish version of the author's award-winning collection of stories, The Circuit. Jiménez' 12 independent but intertwined short stories chronicle the experiences of a Mexican-American family of migrant farm laborers, as narrated by one of the children, Panchito. Unlike many readers for this level, which anthologize standard works, this book presents authentic, outstanding literature and themes that are highly relevant to native Spanish speakers in the U.S.

La pura verdad-the whole truth.......2006-06-01

This is a great family book.I am American Caucasian and my husband is a Mexican imigrant.We read this story out loud to one another,and while it is writen (very well) in simple English so that any reader could probably read it,we enjoyed it imensly.
I can tell you that so much of this story corrolated with our friends and family and was very touching,but brought on a lot of chuckles as well.A great family read.

Great Book.......2006-03-20

This book was very interesting. I loved the way this book shows how Mexicans suffer, struggle and work hard to get what they need to survive. This book has a good way of showing the different types of experiences the family goes through. It gets to a point where you get so into the book that you get frightened of what could happen to the family next. You don't know if the family is going to get caught by the border patrol or if you're going to be able to find a job for the next season. You just don't know if your going to be able to survive the only thing you have in your hands is hope and faith.
There was nothing that I could hate about this book the only thing that I hated was to read about how bad this family suffered. It hurts to see how your own people gets discriminated but, it's ok because this family like many other Mexicans have still succeeded after all the things they have to go trough, like being discriminated. Other than that there is nothing to dislike about this book.
I would definitely recommend this book for everybody especially for people who like this family is an illegal immigrant in this country. I would like for the anti-immigrant people to read this book so they can see that no matter what they do to try to stop the immigrants from succeeding the immigrants will never stop trying no matter what they do to try to stop them. This book is a great book I am sure that this story has repeated itself many times by other Mexican families. I am also sure that it will keep repeating itself for many years, but there is always a limit and the day will come when the Mexicans will be treated the same as everybody else in this country. There are many illegal immigrants that have been more successful in life than the people that are legal in this country, and it kills the anti-immigrants to know this is true.

Want to know what it's like?.......2006-03-16

This book is a great place to start if you are interested in learning about the life of someone less priviledged than yourself. Perhaps it will help you appreciate the simple pleasures in life and everything that you've got. When you reach the end of the book, you'll be glad Jimenez wrote a sequel (Breaking Through).
Written in a language that is accessible to everyone from grade school to adulthood, Jimenez doesn't exaggerate details or go into a lot of long desriptions. It's simply his memories of his childhood in a migrant family. As all memories go, the book does not flow smoothly from chapter to chapter, but rather gives you snapshots of his life, so take it for what it is and don't worry about the chronology.
As a teacher, this book really helped me appreciate the lives and struggles of many of my students (who lead lives similar to Jimenez in his childhood).

If You're Looking For NO Action..........2006-03-08

It starts out with this Mexican family illegally coming across the border into the United States. When they get to the U.S., they go to a labor camp in California. This first labor camp is probably the best one that they go to. The whole book is about this family moving around to different labor camps during different crop seasons. Every now and then, Francisco and his brother Roberto go to school. Along the way there are more people added to the family. The book doesn't really come to a good ending. It is also kind of hard to understand because it jumps three years into the future at times and then you don't know what's going on.
This was a very good book at some times but most of the time the author put in way too many unnecessary details that make the book kind of boring. This book is exactly like it's sequel, Breaking Through. I would rate this book pretty low if like a lot of action.

The Circuit.......2005-10-14

The Circuit, one of my favorite books, is written by Francisco Jimenez. The Circuit is about a family that lived in El Rancho Blanco, Guadalajara. Francisco and his family moved to the United States crossing the border illegally. When they get to the United States in California they look for work and they work in the fields picking cotton. Francisco's family is always hiding from the border patrol which they call it "la migra." As they go on they move to different places. The reason I read this story is because it held my interest , because I wondered how it would be crossing the border illegally. Also, because some of the story reminds me about when I got here from Mexico. I really recommend this book. It's exciting and it taught me to eat all my food and not throw it away because Francisco's family did't have anything to eat sometimes. I would give this book a ten, and I really loved it a lot and I think you should try it.

I Don't Know How to Cook Book: 300 Great Recipes You Can't Mess Up

On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen

ASIN: 1556706022

Amazon.com

The Essential Cook Book was written by Brits who love and understand good food, which is not an oxymoron, as anyone visiting Great Britain these days will discover. This book contains more than 450 recipes, all Americanized by the expert Rick Rodgers, but its real strength is as a reference. More than half of its pages are devoted to describing and explaining ingredients and kitchen equipment. A multitude of photos illustrate hundreds of ingredients and show important techniques such as cutting up chicken and paring out a globe artichoke bottom.

International in scope, The Essential Cook Book shows ingredients often used in ethnic cookbooks as well as some unique to American and to British cookery. The equipment section provides exceptional explanations of which appurtenances are good and why. The recipes offer simply presented, serviceable food with a touch of flair. They range from Grilled Salmon with Hot and Cold Cucumbers and a nice Sauté of Chicken with Potatoes and Mushrooms to Indian-Spiced Spinach and Chickpea Stew, Sweet Potato and Orange Pie, and Hazelnut Macaroons.

The Essential Cook Book: The Back-To-Basics Guide to Selecti.......2003-02-06

A very thorough and dependable guide to foods and spices, complete with preparation how-to's and recipes. A great system of cross referencing saves time and beautifully detailed photos make this a must-have book.

Starters' encyclopedia to cooking.......2001-11-04

This book is a complete compilation of ingredients and food we eat. I borrowed this book from the library with the intention of knowing names of food I usually purchased but do not want what it's called. The pictures in this book allow you to acknowledge them. It is a good resource to help me in using recipes that I read from magazines & cookbooks. This book does not delve into the nutritional aspect of the food but focus on how each food is usually prepared. The glossary on every page brings you to related pages of the food. The book is well organized and the pictures are clear and sharp. I bought this book eventually after returning the library's copy.

Great for a Learning Chef Student!.......2000-03-26

My Girlfriend gave this book to me as a gift and i can't thank her enough. I'm doing a Chef Course here in Venezuela and it's a great help in classes because it talks about everything you need to know on picking any kind of food and how to cook it. This type of books are really hard to findSimply Great!

This IS the Essential Cook Book.......2000-03-04

This would be the PERFECT gift for a friend who likes to cook. It's a great reference on ingredients, explaining the difference between similar foods, when to use what, what can be used as a substitute... The pictures are terrific, the recipes I've tried are excellent, and most not too complicated to try for the first time on a weeknight. It's a great book if you like to READ cook books. The best part? They place page references to recipes on the ingredient pages and where to find the write up on the ingredients on the recipe pages. It's 100% enjoyable, right down to the heavy paper on which it's printed.

Only 1/3 Recipes!.......1997-10-29

This book is an excellent source for cooking without the crutch of recipes. It teaches you the principals behind recipes and allows you to create your own.

Concise but sufficiently detailed. A good textbook for business undergrads.......2007-01-16

Because there is no table of content here, I would like to take the priviledge to type one for you.

Ch 1 Employee stock options: what every MBA should know
Ch 2 Roche Holding: the company, its financial strategy, and bull spread warrants
Ch 3 The three amigos (three option traders)
Ch 4 Metallgesellschaft AG: illusion of P/L, reality of cash flows
Ch 5 Swaps that shook an industry; P&G vs Bankers Trust
Ch 6 Orange County: the largest municipal failure in US history
Ch 7 Barings Bank PLC: Lesson's lessons
Ch 8 Long-Term Mismanagement: "John Merriwether and the Arb Boys"

IMHO, the author had delivered well what he promised on the book title. The cases are representative, concise but sufficiently detailed. The review questions in the end of each chapter and the absence of sophisticated option pricing formula make it particularly suitable as an HBR type textbooks on derivatives for business school undergrads. However, I am obliged to comment that the author had overlooked the negative influence of investmment bankers on the proliferation of derviatives. For readers who want to get a more complete picture, I would strongly recommend "Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation by Edward Chancellor", "Fiasco by Frank Partnoy", "Eyewitness to Wall Street by David Colbert" and "Wall Street Meat by Andy Kessler".

Lessons we can learn from debacles.......2005-05-26

This book features examples of both good and bad uses of derivatives. All the scandals we read about in the newspaper are a result of certain factors which we can learn from. It is clear that each scandal has a lesson for us to learn from, but derivatives as financial instruments in itself are not bad or destructive. This book shows these lessons with simple explanations.

A must-have book.

A "CHEAT SHEET" FOR THE LITTLE GUY!.......2000-03-29

Well, it is about time that "normal" folks like myself have access to something that can really help them.

Finally I feel like I can join in because I was able to learn so much from this book. It is easy to read and so well illustrated that its like having an instructor in the room with me. The pictures of the windows screens were very easy to understand. It dares you to not follow along!

The best kept secret in this book though might be the chapter that lists search engines and worthwhile sites. I have no doubt that reading this book has made me money. What better endorsement is there than that!

What a gift INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERNET FOR INVESTORS is, making the complex simple, the ambiguous clear. Its cleverly and attractively done - amazingly easy to read - and something I can work through step-by-step. Thank you, KSI, for giving us a tool us neophytes can use with enthusiasm.

Its numerous lists of Web-sights are practical and resourceful, its information is up-to-date, and even for the computer-savvvy Investor, its helpful tips and hints are a time-saver. Plus, since its format is that of a 'guidebook' , its very handy to carry around or to pass to a friend. And I liked the fact that the book is durable and artistic; two features that make the book a keeper and/or a great gift. I'd recommend this book for anyone who is interested in looking into the opportunities of investing on-line seriously.

Book Description

Despite his major role in early American history, President James Monroe has been the subject of limited scholarly work, due largely to the difficulty of locating his papers, especially in a published collection. Monroe scholarship is based on only 25% of his papers, and a great mass of material--over 25,000 items--has remained mostly unknown and unused until now. The eight-volume Papers of James Monroe project will fill a major gap in American history and provide access to the massive and widely scattered Monroe Papers, enabling scholars to revisit Monroe's role in the birth and infancy of the United States. This volume covers Monroe's presidential tours in 1817, 1818, and 1819, including his correspondence, newspaper accounts, and eyewitness accounts. All major founders of the American nation have modern documentary collections--with the notable exception of James Monroe. Yet Monroe was not a minor figure, having served as Minister to France, Minister to Great Britain, Secretary of State, and Secretary of War.
