        5 out of 5 stars This workbook is just what I needed !.......2000-08-16

        I enjoyed the "101 Ways to Have a Great Day @ Work" and was glad to hear there was something that would let me explore these concepts even more. I learned a ton of new things to help me at work and have passed on these ideas in my staff meetings. Well worth the $$!

        This book helped me better understand the relationship between sales and service. The real-life examples showed me the success that is possible when an account is strategically managed. I will use this as my text book for strategic account management.

        2 out of 5 stars Material is dated with emphasis on HP way of doing business.......1999-05-20

        Though the book was titled, "Manage Globally, think Locally,", the material often did not discuss global issues. Clearly, this was written with a local HP mentality, with little, if any, fresh ideas.

                      Book Description

                      It started with a coffee cup that John Nirenberg found in a store. It was a corporate premium, a giveaway item by a huge oil company to promote goodwill (and good sales). On the cup, Nirenberg saw the words PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT followed by THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY. Nirenberg bought the cup and uses as something to think about when he focuses on socially responsible corporations. In this article, he overviews the history of the oil company that gave the cup away, and he analyzes what's really involved when a company pledges to "protect the environment." It is, he asserts, much more than printing words on a coffee cup. Nirenberg is Chair of the Leadership and Personal Development Department at Shinawatra University in Bangkok, Thailand. He is also the author of Global Leadership, Power Tools, and The Living Organization. This e-Doc is published by BrownHerron Publishing, with permission.

                            Book Description

                            “The art of rolling paper then arranging it into exquisite designs makes quilling look attractive. Also consider the cost, which is nominal; skill level, which is easy; and variety, which is limitless, with projects ranging from frilly and delicate to bold and modern.... Featured projects include everything from an elegant framed wedding invitation to stackable boxes.”—Crafts ’N Things.

                            5 out of 5 stars A must for any quilling library shelf.......2007-08-30

                            This is a very good book for beginners and intermediate quillers. The first pages give clear directions to get started and the photos show real hands holding the tools and creating the shapes so you can get a feel for the technique.

                            The projects are nicely laid out, with clear directions and the patterns are full size. My daughter and I found lots of projects and ideas we want to try. There are simple projects and more complex ones to try once you ready and a nice variety. I am looking forward to making the Welcome sign once I have mastered some simpler projects.

                            Some reviewers on Amazon said they felt the book wasn't good for beginners because the projects were too "perfect" and some were to complicated. I disagree. I appreciate a book that includes simple projects and more advanced as well so that it is useful even as my skill grows.

                            In summary I would recommend this book for any one who wants to learn quilling beyond making a few scrapbook embellishments.

                            Happy quilling, Lady Rose (Quilling Garden blog)

                            5 out of 5 stars very nice book.......2005-11-01

                            This book is very nice, just not alot for me. It does have some bugs and seasonal stuff in it but not to much boyish stuff. Dont get me wrong, this is a very good book with lots of stuff in it, just no to much for boys. I do like the patterns they have in it. The seasonal things like leaves, snowflakes, christams trees and more make awesome patterns and projects. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn quilling or make some advanced designs.

                            This book has a very good "how to" section and some patterns even a beginning quiller can do.




                            4 out of 5 stars Good Sample Pictures, but. . ........2004-02-25

                            I read this book after reading about quilling in one of my magazines, except that they used twistie-ties. I learned a lot, but I think that they should have started out with some easier projects for really beginning beginners. Some of the pictures were just too perfect to be real. My aunt has a friend who teaches paper arts, and even SHE thought that no one could make anything THAT perfect. Otherwise, I liked it, because the directions were really clear.

                            4 out of 5 stars nice quilling projects.......2000-06-21

                            My daughter and I are both impressed with the projects. The illustrations are very helpful, and the projects are fresh and fun

                            Book Description

                            A fascinating account of a remarkable life that took the author, through hard work and determination, from rural England to the highest ranks of the United Nations

                            Dame Margaret Anstee was born in the 1920s to a poor family in rural Essex. With the support of her parents and through her own determination, she graduated from Cambridge with first class honours, and entered the Foreign Office where she worked with the spy Donald Maclean shortly before his defection with Guy Burgess.

                            Her career here ended as was customary at the time, when she married a diplomat and was posted to Singapore. As the marriage began to fail Margaret accepted a job at the United Nations in order to earn her fare back to England.

                            It was the start of a career that was to push the boundaries at every step. She became the first woman to be posted to her beloved South America, where she drove through the Andes in her VW Beetle, she headed up the first Government think tank during Harold Wilson’s Government and she was the first woman to break the glass ceiling at the United Nations.

                            Dame Margaret Anstee served the United Nations for four decades, both at the New York Headquarters and in some of the poorest countries of the world attempting to help the victims of war, poverty and natural disasters. Throughout this time Dame Margaret has worked relentlessly to overcome the inequalities between the developed and developing world, a battle that she considers essential for the survival of both worlds.

                            Praise for Never Learn to Type:

                            ‘Her achievements are truly inspirational.’ 
                            The Rt Hon. Jack Straw MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

                            ‘The preamble of the UN Charter announces the commitment...to...“reaffirm the faith in the fundamental dignity and worth of the human person.”...No one has lived for these principles more selflessly or diligently than Margaret Anstee. Her life...is inspirational, and her story is highly recommended.’
                            Jimmy Carter, Former President of the United States of America (awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2002)

                            '...a true pioneer of the international community... an account of a rich and fascinating life, as well as the kind of insight only the insider can provide into the nature of conflict, development and the work for peace.’
                            Kofi A. Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations

                            ‘...a remarkable and entertaining account of her adventures in many parts of the world.’
                            Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations

                            ‘...she became, with all my support and pleasure, the first woman Under Secretary-General.’
                            Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations

                            ‘An extraordinary book about an extraordinary life. ...A story written with wit, charm and affection. ...Thank God she never learned to type but learned to think and care!
                            Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, President of Bolivia

                            ‘A truly absorbing account of achievement and adventure, by a remarkable woman...she engages and holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end.’
                            The Rt Hon. The Lord Howe of Aberavon CH QC

                            ‘Anyone who doubts the usefulness of the UN should read her book.’
                            The Rt Hon. Lord Hurd of Westwell CH CBE PC

                            ‘...a witness to many of the momentous events that shaped the last 50 years. ...this is a writer who sets off up rivers, into the plains, mountains and deserts to get to the heart of a country. ...a remarkable story told by a remarkable lady.’
                            Rt Hon. Peter Hain MP, Secretary of State for Wales

                            ‘...she also writes of romance and travel, friendship and daily incident - even about making herself a ball-gown out of a parachute and dancing the night away.’
                            Onora O’Neill, Principal, Newnham College Cambridge

                            Hard Talk - with Dame Margaret Anstee

                            On the practicality of the United Nations :
                            “The UN is always judged on political grounds, where compromise is inescapable.  Critics invariably forget the myriad practical achievements in the economic, social and humanitarian fields that benefit millions of human beings.”

                            On the future role of the UN:
                            “As Adlai Stevenson said, “If it didn’t exist, it would have to be invented.”  The role of the UN in nurturing peace and international cooperation and bringing about better conditions of living for the deprived of the world is essential for security in its broadest sense (human security).  But a sea-change in the policies of member states is needed which peoples everywhere should urge on their governments.”

                            On the role Britain should play in global politics and the war against terrorism:
                            “Britain should play a major and statesmanlike role of promotion of firm but balanced international policies, using its long experience to moderate and mediate between extreme positions.”

                            On Bush:
                            “Successive U.S. administrations have traditionally been ambivalent towards the UN.  At the outset of a new century it is troubling to see this attitude personified and expanded by a President who seems to regard the UN as a fig leaf to be resorted to only when expedient.”

                            On Blair:
                            “Blair has played a crucial role in persuading Bush and his administration to use the path of the UN and international consensus over Iraq rather than unilateral action – so far.  I hope that he will continue to pursue this difficult political juggling act.”

                            On the position Hans Blix finds himself in:
                            “I empathise with Hans.  Any international civil servant responsible for decisions that can cost human lives is in an invidious position, as I experienced in Angola.  In this case the stakes are even higher – the risk of war with incalculable consequences.”

                            On her most significant role model:
                            “My mother, who never let anyone deter her (or me) with her dictum “never say your mother had a jibber”.  And my aunt Christina who showed you could demonstrate professional competence in a man’s world without sacrificing femininity.”

                            On today’s youth:
                            “They have many more advantages and opportunities but also many daunting challenges in an increasingly globalised world.  In rising to these one hopes they will not discard the lessons of the past.”

                            On the event that had the greatest impact on the course of her life:
                            “My mother, putting on her best suit and hat in 1936, taking the bus into the country town and button-holing the Country Education Officer (without prior appointment) to ensure her sick daughter (who’d missed the examination date) could have another opportunity to sit the scholarship examination – without that there’d have been no high school or university.”

                            5 out of 5 stars Inspiring Story Told By An Amazing Woman.......2004-07-12

                            Margaret Joan Anstee's life reads like the script of an epic movie: financially challenged semi-rural childhood redeemed by her parents' commitment to educating their daughter (not at all common in the early part of the 20th century), the intervention of a few kind and well-connected teachers, and the serious smarts of Anstee herself. From rationing and loss associated with World War II to the hallowed halls of Oxford to just about every important geopolitical event of the latter half of the last century, Anstee brings to life the people and places that colored her life (and impacted the world!).

                            Anstee writes with a sense of humor and bemusement. Relating an episode wherein she and a girlfriend are kept as virtual hostages by a pair of elderly women from whom they had rented a room, one gets more a sense of amusement at the whole event rather than an impression of terror. This attitude of welcoming and seeking adventure and the improbable permeates the entire book and is shown to be a key value that led Anstee into her globehopping life.

                            Anstee relentlessly confronted the limitations that others continuually tried to place upon her. Her gender, social class, education and even religion could have prevented her from accomplishing even a fraction of what is related here and no one would have cast even the smallest amount of blame. But she not only overcomes these obstacles but actually triumphs over them. Anstee is a true inspiration and an amazing woman.

                            "Never Learn To Type" is a highly recommended book for anyone who wants to learn from the example of one who never quit even when given more than ample opportunity to do so, who wishes a backstage pass to key events of her time or who just wants to enjoy a good story of a life well lived.

                              Once called "the most remarkable delineation of pioneer life on the coast of Maine ever published," this little book, first published in 1899 in "Century "magazine and later in book form, tells the story of a man and a family, and in so doing tells the unique story of a special time and place in American history.

                              Charles W. Eliot (1834-"1926) was president of Harvard University for 40 years. He lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
