Book Description
Greening Industry: New Roles for Communities, Markets, and Governments shows how recent economic and regulatory policy reforms are reducing industrial pollution in developing countries without threatening economic growth. After many failed attempts to import regulatory models from the industrial countries, pioneers of the new approach are developing a new model for environmental control. Based on sound economic principles, this new model incorporates market-based incentives, a broad commitment to public environmental information, and targeted assistance to managers who are trying to improve environmental performance. It stresses participatory regulation where community representatives share in negotiations with government regulators and factory managers. With much better public information about pollution, market agents also make their presence felt through the decisions of consumers, bankers, and stockholders. Greening Industry: New Roles for Communities, Markets, and Governments speaks with authority because its authors helped establish many of the innovative programs that are featured in the report. And the outlook is optimistic. After six years of research, policy experimentation and front-line observation, the authors conclude that sustainable industrial development is within reach. Although greening industry will take time, even the poorest countries can accomplish it. The report shows why, and suggests strategies for moving forward. Greening Industry: New Roles for Communities, Markets, and Governments is an indispensable resource for policymakers, the international development community, students, and all those concerned with protecting the environment.

Realistic recipes, informative, balanced, easy to read.......1999-10-13
This cookbook is extremely helpful for those who wish to incorporate natural foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables into their diet without sacrificing taste and without being a gourmet cook. Different foods are listed and given their particular health benefits. There are also quite a few different and simple diet plans that pertain to specific health concerns, i.e. preventing cancer, lowering cholestoral, weight loss, etc. All in all this cookbook is something of an encyclopedia and a comprehesible, easy to follow, and informative sensible eating guide.
This is the best book I have seen on foods that heal ........1999-03-03
Very informative! There is a whole section on the healing properties of the foods which are used in the book. You can look up different types of ailments and find out what foods to eat for that condition. It has great pictures and the recipes are easy to prepare. I give it 2 thumbs up!
An excellent guide to preparing meals that are truly healthy.......1999-01-04
I love this cookbook! It has great, simple recipes. If you have to cook, why not cook the best you can for your family. You can really focus in on the beneficial foods for your family. A win-win situation when it comes to cooking good tasting but absolutely nutritional meals. Highly recommended.

Not for novices.......2007-05-18
Jan Messent's work is, as always, visually stunning. I own several of her books but it has taken me a few years to not be too intimidated to try some of her projects. For advanced knitters, I would highly recommend any of her books, but it was this one that got me hooked.
Amazon.com
Edward Klein shows that, despite their glamorous public lives, the Kennedys were as human as the rest of us. Through details on the couple's most intimate moments, including Jackie's defloration in a Paris elevator, and her amusing, albeit catty, disposition (kept under wraps because of her political standing), the ivory tower of their existence seems less out of reach. With chapter titles such as "Indiscreet," "Love Lies Bleeding," and "Pleasure First" the book reads a bit like a romance novel, but with a biting touch of reality.
Book Description
The private bonds that united John and Jacqueline Kennedy hove always remained shrouded in secrecy and misunderstanding. Now Edward Klein, a former editor of The New York Times Magazine -- and a friend of Jackie -- recreates the Kennedy marriage in unprecedented detail, shedding new light on the relationship at the heart of Camelot. From their first meeting in 1951 to the President's assassination in 1963, this is a rich, personal portrait of the couple, and answers the questions millions hove posed:
- Was Jack in love with Jackie? And was she in love with him?
- Did Jack's father Joseph Kennedy, arrange his son's marriage?
- Did events on their honeymoon shape the future course of their marriage?
- Was Jackie aware of Jack's compulsive womanizing and how did she react?
- Did Jackie have affairs of her own?
- Did the enormous strains of the presidency -- and the tragic death of their infant son Patrick -- draw Jack and Jackie closer together?
Impeccably researched end brimming with fresh information, ALL TOO HUMAN reveals the private husband end wife behind the grand image -- while presenting their haunting love story for the first time in all its most intimate facets.
Customer Reviews:
Camelot was not happily ever after.......2006-04-08
The Kennedys may have lived in the White House but in many respects were just like the neighbors who seemed like the perfect White Picket Fence family. Both the myth and fascination with the Kennedys is shattered here. It's an intimate take on the family politics of one of the most intriguing American political dynasties.
five stars for effort, but not much else to say.......2005-11-22
I am wildly into Jack and Jackie Kennedy and their mythical 1000 days of "magic" in the White House. After hearing all excellent things about this book, I gave it a shot. It was rather disappointing, not in the effort but in the actual biography/story it tries to tell. Looking through the author's notes, it is obvious that Edward Klein put his all into researching this colossal and intimidating subject. Klein's awe and admiration for the Camelot couple is felt, and parts of his narrative brings tears to your eyes, but you still feel as if there are tremendous holes that, I suppose, can't be helped when writing about such an elusive subject as Jack and Jackie.
Klein basically took all relevant parts out of available books already written about the couple and stringed them into a narrative along with inputs from interviews that he mostly conducted himself. What you get is a rough, distorted gem that is beautiful in its own way but not what we were really looking for...basically meaning that while it does shed light on some touching, intimate moments in their lives we were not aware of/did not understand before, it is still just a composite of information gathered from interviews and other books TRYING to be "the love story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy." Maybe I am being too harsh (and this is not to say I did not enjoy the book--I did), but a good love story shows clearly and distinctly who and what the main players are--gets inside their heads so that afterwards, you feel as if you have personally met them and experienced the tribulations and joys in their life too. This does not quite accomplish that. It simply left me wanting for the more, more of the truth.
The Myth of Camelot.......2003-09-11
Jackie was Edward Klein's editor at Doubleday. The book opens with chapters that present a detailed biographical sketch of Jackie's pre-JFK life and then proceeds into how Jack and Jackie came to be. Joe Kennedy needed to find a suitable wife for John if he was to advance in politics. He turned to his good friend Arthur Krock of The New York Times who suggested Jackie Bouvier. Joe approved so Arthur contacted newspaperman Charlie Bartlett, Jackie's friend, to arrange an introduction.
John was the [fun loving person] of Washington with one of the worst attendance records in the House of Representatives. He found girling and parties much more interesting. Jack liked the challenge of conquest but once conquered he soon lost interest and was incapable of sustaining a prolonged relationship. He stated that he wanted to have children but he wanted to marry a woman who was chaste because he was worried about being compared to other men.
Both Jack and Jackie's families had way too much control over their adult children's lives! Joe Sr. even picked out Jackie's engagement ring. At the luncheon where the mother's were to discuss their wedding, Jack acted like a scolded child. It was pretty clear that he didn't want to kiss bachelorhood goodbye and that he wasn't in love with Jackie.
Janet Bouvier Achincloss, Jackie's mother, felt her daughter was marrying beneath her and was putting up a fight with Rose about how the wedding should go. Joe Kennedy intervened. He sneered at the Archinclosses because they were old money but were unable to maintain it and keep living in style. In the end, Joe got his very public very politic wedding.
Jack treated Jackie as the means to an end: the White House and children. Jack even had a brief fling with Jackie's sister Lee while Jackie was in the hospital. Friends implied that the Cuban Missile Crisis caused Jack to take a renewed emotional interest in his immediate family and that he and Jackie very close. Yet he still had a mistress? Please!
This book has it all scandal, [physical attraction], drugs and lies! It takes an intimate look inside the world of old money WASPs and of the newly moneyed and their views of each other. Klein used primary sources including interviews with many of the people in Jack and Jackie's life. One thing Klein never discussed was what Jackie's feelings and beliefs were surrounding the conspiracy theories that have grown up around JFK's murder. A great companion book to this is The Day John Died by Christopher Andersen, which focuses on really both JFK's children's lives before and after the assassination. I simply could not put either book down!
A Touching Report.......2003-07-26
ALL TOO HUMAN is a touching history of the marriage of John Fitzgerald Kennedy to Jacqueline Bouvier.
In hindsight, Jacqueline had as big an impact on modern culture as did her first husband, perhaps simply because her life lasted longer. Yet this is not to belittle her actual influence; an entire generation of women modeled themselves on her style. Her dignity, her educational standards, her appreciation of the arts, all proved to be an inspiration to the world.
Author Edward Klein has turned writing about the Kennedys into a cottage industry. This particular biography is a nice balance to many other harsher reports, focusing here as he does on the good points of the marriage of this President and his First Lady.
Frothy and surprisingly touching.......2003-07-04
Reading this book I was reminded of an old 70s song, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." For in this version of the Kennedy marriage, that seems to be what happened. Jackie needed to make a "successful" marriage that would land her "real money," and time was running out. After all, she was 24 years old! JFK needed a wife, a good and presentable CATHOLIC wife, to enhance his image with voters. From these cynical beginnings, according to Klein, a marriage was born and eventually, true love. Over the decade they spent together, Jack and Jackie came to appreciate and depend on one another, bonded by unique experiences and the love of their children. I have one quibble with the point-of-view of this book: Jackie became one of the most influential women of the century because of her marriage to this powerful man. To pretend otherwise is just silly. And for Klein to insist that Jackie was "important" politically is also silly. This is not Hillary Clinton, Rosalyn Carter, or Eleanor Roosevelt we're talking about here. She represented her nation well overseas, honored her husband's memory gallantly and worked hard at being a good mother. There is much to admire about her. But she was neither a policy wonk nor a political powerhouse, but a glamorous celebrity, and therefore historically, she was no where near as important as her first husband.

Improving Performance Through Statistical Thinking.......2000-04-03
This book is truly unique! It focuses on the conceptual understanding of statistical thinking - not on numbers and calculations. I am recommending this book to all the employees in our quality department because it provides the framework for quality improvement - something all quality professionals need before attempting to use any statistical methods to measure improvement. I recommend this book to any quality professional who needs a down-to-earth explanation of how statistical thinking can improve an organization's quality program.
