Book Description

Women are almost half the workforce, yet their incomes in comparison to men's have changed only slightly in the past 20 years. While there are more women in visible professions than ever before, most women do not believe they "qualify" for the higher-paying positions. They are much more qualified than they realize. This book is written to help each woman recognize and rise above the barriers to a higher income. END

Andrea Novakowski.......2007-07-17

A good overall primer to help women understand the actions they need to take to be more successful in business. This book covers topics from dressing for success to learning to read financial statements. Your eyes will be opened to seeing work in a totally different way. This book best serves women who have no knowledge of the inner workings of business.

Very inspiring; potentially life-changing.......2007-07-03

Generally I'm not big on self-help books; they are typically full of no-brainer truisms and advice that is impossible to follow (i.e., if you could follow it, you wouldn't need the self-help book).

This book, however, is very insightful about women in the workplace, and although it contains its share of truisms, it also offers some enlightening observations. For example, men assume they will learn on the job, while women assume they need to have experience in every aspect of a job description before applying. Also, women may shy away from higher-level or management positions, assuming they require too much work/stress, but in fact many of these positions offer more recognition and pay for LESS work/stress.

I personally found this book to be of great help in getting a new perspective on my career and on presenting my professional self and would recommend it to any woman interested in gaining perspective on gender in the workplace.

Now I understand.......1999-12-08

I read the book Each of Us and now understand why I felt like I was on the outside of the team of computer guys I worked with last year. This book articulated things that I suspected were hindering me but I couldn't name. I am recommending this book to my friends and family.

This is a MUST READ.......1999-12-02

This is a MUST READ book if you're thinking of changing careers, have been out of the workforce, or just want to make more money. This book changed my life, and I can't say that about very many books. Because of this book, I went for jobs I would not have considered before. I had several offers, and have a job I love.

Read this book!.......1999-11-30

I have read this book and can't say enough good things about it! It's wonderful, insightful, uplifting. Even if you don't think it's what you want to do, read it. You will believe in yourself. You will want every woman you know to read it. It will make you strive for something more. It will make you happy to be you.

AMAZING TUNA RECIPES GOOD ENOUGH FOR COMPANY!.......2004-11-10

I've been collecting Joie's cookbooks for several years now. I have more than 200 cookbooks in my library, but hers are among my absolute favorites. I cook from her pizza, chicken and muffin books all the time. And I think her `no-cook pasta sauces' cookbook is brilliant.

I recently bought Joie's Take a Tin of Tuna and like her other cookbooks, her recipes are simple to prepare, always turn out perfectly and taste wonderful. The book has lots of pretty pictures of yummy-looking soups, sandwiches, appetizers, and main dishes. I never knew there were so many ways to prepare tuna and how sophisticated this food item could be.

Now I'm cooking from her new tuna book and so far these are my favs,

1) tuna and sweet corn chowder--my husband and kids loved it!

2) tuna tapanade--friends dropped by and I made this instant tuna spread with ingredients I had in my cupboard.

3) tuna, lemon and caper crostini-- elegant and easy with great "wow" factor.

4) deep-fried tuna wontons--sounded weird, tried it, tasted fab.

5) tuna and bacon stuffed baked potatoes-- pure comfort food.

6) curried tuna and chutney salad with mango--awsome tuna salad.

7) tuna reuben sandwich--I think I like it better than the original with corned beef!

8) grilled eggplant, tuna and roasted red pepper panini--totally awesome sandwich.

9) classy tuna noodle casserole--simply fab. I served it to guests and they all wanted the recipe.

10) extra lemony tuna risotto--so good and easy I've made it 6 times already.

I can't wait to try the broccoli, cheddar and tuna chowder and the tuna stuffed red peppers.

My only tiny complaint is that in some of her recipes using olive oil, she discards the oil in the can instead of using it as part of the ingredients. I am quite a frugal person and I've recently discovered that I actually like the tuna flavored oil. So why not use it?

I did not understand Mr. Marold's tirade about dried parsley and basil. What I really love about this author's recipes is her bounteous use of fresh basil, parsley and chives.

I've read the book cover to cover and there isn't one recipe with dried parsley. And only one recipe--her tuna creole--uses dried basil, which FYI is traditional in Cajun and Creole food. (I know, cause I lived in Louisiana for ten years).Cajuns use lots of dried spices and herbs including dried basil--even garlic powder, as does my favorite Cajun cookbook by Chef Paul Prudhomme.

I give this book five stars. The first for offering truly inspired recipes for such a common ingredient. The second for originality (not the same old run-of-the-mill recipes) and practicality (these recipes I'll actually use).The third is for providing amazing canned tuna recipes that are actually good enough to serve to company. The fourth is for her helpful tuna tips and list of pantry items. I took the author's advice and now use tuna in olive oil, not the bland stuff in water I've been eating since childhood. The fifth star is for explaining that in places like Italy and Spain canned tuna is actually a `gourmet' item. Good news for canned tuna lovers. Finally we can come out of the closet!!!

Although there are only 65 recipes in this book, I judge a cookbook by the quality, not the quantity of recipes. Plus I love cookbooks with pictures of the finished dish, so I'll gladly pay a little extra. THIS BOOK IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thank you Joie Warner.

Excellent Recipes for Star Pantry Item. Highly Recommended.......2004-10-14

Jolie Warner has produced another of her 20 cookbooks, `take a tin of tuna', in that relatively undistinguished but very worthy genre of recipe collections centered around a single ingredient, in this case, canned tuna. While Ms. Warner does not have the high wattage name like Cat Cora, Tony Bourdain, or Rachael Ray, she is doing us a service as good or better than these very readable chef / authors. That is, she is giving us 65 recipes for an extremely inexpensive, durable staple. With this book and similar books on recipes for pasta, potatoes, sardines, corn meal, and canned tomatoes, one can live like a king with good recipes on a pauper's income. Ms. Warner has put one more nail in the coffin of my projected book on cooking cheaply but well.

Before I go any further, I must put in a plug for canned tuna. Like several other ingredients that have been available in a can for a very long time, this product has virtually taken on a life of its own, completely distinct from the cuisine and recipes based on fresh tuna. Like salt cod, it is not only accepted as a different product, it is actually better for many recipes than the fresh flesh, which is both highly perishable and requires a fair amount of subtlety to cook well. Even the highest authorities on French cooking give us Salad Nicoise made with canned tuna.

The first chapter in this book is the routine intro. on showing us around the varieties of canned tuna and itemizing good pantry items to have on hand to work with tuna. While this list, especially the first half, is better than most, it violates my standing rule about pantry lists in that it lists several relatively perishable items in the refrigerator and dried basil in the spice rack. I use lots of dried spices, but I would not use dried basil or parsley short of having a gun put to my head. Both are available fresh the year around and fresh parsley is usually dirt-cheap. I do respect the author's recommending selected national brands for bacon and mustard. I have seen good things said about her recommended products, but I have seen bad things said about them as well. Be very aware that in spite of the sense that it is virtually imperishable, please know that mustard looses its pizzazz after about three months in the bottle, so don't stockpile the stuff, especially the stuff shipped to us from France.

Among the recipes, you will find all the old standards such as Salade Nicoise, Tuna salad, and Tuna casserole, but you will find lots of other goodies as well. The first chapter of recipes is on starters with recipes for stuff such as tuna tapenade, tuna dips, tuna and caper spread, tuna wontons, and tuna tapas, for example. I think I will pass on the tuna fondue.

The second chapter of recipes gives us tuna coups and chowders where, among other things, we have tuna standing in for clams and keeping company with beans, corn, broccoli and cheddar, and tomatoes. I get strongly positive feelings about all these recipes. This may be worth the price of the book.

The third chapter of recipes covers sandwiches, the home of the classic tuna melt. The author does here what lots of recipe writers do in turning a recipe for a salad into a sandwich, with virtually no alterations except that the ingredients are plopped between two halves of crusty bread. Ms. Joie does this with a tuna nicoise sandwich, simply leaving out the potato salad which, I'm sure, you will be happy to find as the featured side dish.

The fourth chapter is the center ring for sure for the canned tuna show, as these are the salads, both classic and nuveo. The author essays tuna with lots of tomatoes, beans, curries, leafy veg, and Mexican themes. These recipes are more traditional than the soups, but swell to have all in one place.

The last chapter of recipes is largely all the things that do not fit in other categories. These are terrines, pies, omelets, and pizzas. Shades of Wolfgang Puck.

I regret that the author and her publisher did not see it fit to list the author's previously published titles. Either they are not from Chronicle Books or they are not considered worthy. I also find the $20 list price just a tad high for 65 recipes from a journeyman author.

Both of these nits are relatively trivial. This is a very good book for people both on a diet and on a budget and in serious need of some variety in their meals. If you can get it for less than $15, I say snap it up.

Highly recommended.

The book did a fine job going through the history of the pattern and had excellent color photos of different styles. I obtained the book for those two reasons -- and the color photos and variations give me ideas for projects.

I found this book to be extremely helpful in moving from "beginner" level to more advanced work in quilting. Pepper's well-written directions and tips make it easy to piece challenging curved blocks, and her illustrations are an inspiration!

Friendly view of a key man.......2006-02-17

For those familiar and/or interested with the world of intelligence communities, the history of Russia and the stormy first half of the 20th century it certainly is worth reading. Nevertheless its seems like a book aimed to justify the behaviour of Mr. Orlov, trying the author to lure the reader to build up a favourable opinion about a man, who is one of the key elements to build the intelligence and represion machine which was later to become the KGB. Known as the man who gathered the Cambridge 5 (recognized by Mr. Philby himself) as well as "Rotte Kapelle", coordinated the Soviet effort in Spain during its bloody civil war, we hardly get an insight to all these but a subjective view from Orlov's own experiences and conclusions. However it still is a very good chapter of the early history of 20th century Europe and the former USSR as well as the outrageous crimes from the Stalin era.

One patent book that is worth the money.......2004-10-02

There are too many books about patents these days that are written by consultants (including lawyers-turned-consultants). Most of them are fluff that try to promote some new buzzword, like "intellectual capital management." There's nothing wrong with having a broad and managerial view about intellectual property, but unfortunately most such books are filled with useless consultant-style diagrams and vague notions such as that intellectual asset managers' duties include "sharing best practices", "leadership", and of course "career development for IAMs."

In sharp contrast, this is one of the few books to get into the nuts and bolts of what best patent practices actually are. It's also considerably cheaper than books available from the major legal publishers.

The explanation is clear, and addressed to non-lawyers. A major benefit is that it has a very global view, discussing patent regimes of several major countries, not just the US. In my experience, most tech companies are very naive about such matters. The author also has a lot of practical experience and insight into the personality types of engineers, patent agents and others involved in the patent process. One thing I'd like to see in a 3rd edition would be more concrete illustration of patent "fences", "walls", etc. perhaps by showing some illustrative patents and claims.

As a patent and business attorney who's practiced both at law firms and in-house in Silicon Valley, I found this to be a very refreshing book. I'm considering ordering some copies for clients.

Nice and friendly thinking about Patent.......2000-08-11

For most persons, patent or trademark, such verbs of IPR, are almost very hard to be familiar with. However, after reading this book, I got used and interested in reading related articles or jounals. Sometimes, I even enjoy discussing such matters with others. What is more is it is surely practical and useful for managers or business persons. With the progressively trend of IPR, getting a opning book to enter this new world is so critical and having no choice. However, we could be a little frustrated with some tricking or unfamiliar verbs while reading some related IPR writtings. Fortunately, I got this book and really enjoy it. I fully am sure to recommand this book for the above-mentioned reasons. In addition to me, most of the classmates in the university could enjoy it and find much instriction or delighting in this book. From then on, we have started to research such knowledge. Even, I back to office-career now. My boss have told me to read this book to improve self-knowledge to be a good role in our technology market. This book is just so fancy. And everyone will be very enjoyed it with reading it.
