Customer Reviews:
More here than meets the eye........2003-09-30
Each chapter has a short story that makes a point about a topic and then a discussion of that topic follows. There are quotes on the bottom of each page and several pages of quotes at the end.
What are some of the things I gained an insight into?
Time. We all have the same amount but we don't all use it the same, an interesting look at how we deal with time.
Creativity. What is the difference between being creative and simply following the crowd? How can we "steal" ideas yet still be creative?
Learning. This was perhaps the most important chapter. Do we really learn to learn or do we just memorize facts and figures? How learning, continual learning, is so important.
Supporters. The people we surround ourselves with.
Does the idea of an "honest" thief sound like a contradiction? An oxymoron? Perhaps, but the author here makes a clear cut and compelling argument about using the foundation set by those before us to climb even higher and reach our goals.
A very strong recommendation.

Balancing supply and demand.......2005-05-25
Fairly comprehensive and EZ to understand.......2001-03-24
Comprehensive and wonderfully written........1998-09-18
Contents include the mechanics of master scheduling, managing the MPS in various manufacturing environments (make-to-stock, make-to-order, etc.), planning bills, finishing schedules, capacity planning, demand management, and system implementation. Key points are punctuated by a running fictional account of master scheduling in action -- with all the personalities and politics that bear on this essential task.
Proud presents the vast material in a logical and entertaining manner. Detailed computational examples are provided for many of the situations a master scheduler will face. Proud is not afraid to depart from standard APICS language or teachings when appropriate -- but he does clearly identify when he has done so. Perhaps most significant is his exceptional grasp of the human relations and management issues involved. He shows that master scheduling is more than just crunching numbers.
Highly recommended as preparation for the APICS Master Planning exam.

The Lion's Pride: Theodore Roosevelt and His Family in Peace and War

ASIN: 0195134249 |
Amazon.com
When Colonel Theodore Roosevelt led his Rough Riders up the San Juan Ridge in 1898, it was one of the most daring exploits of the Spanish-American War. Colleagues would later report that, seemingly oblivious to the threat of death, Roosevelt "was just reveling in victory and gore," collecting spent cartridges as souvenirs for his four sons while shells exploded around him. His martial vigor served as a model to those sons, one that they took to heart, but their own experiences of war were far removed from TR's swashbuckling adventure.At the end of World War I, the youngest Roosevelt son--Quentin--was dead, shot down in the skies over France. Theodore Jr. (Ted) and Archie both sustained serious injuries, and Archie suffered from bouts of serious depression many times in the years afterwards. Yet they both served, along with their brother, Kermit, in World War II as well. At 57, Ted was the oldest American participant in the Normandy invasion; Archie became the only U.S. soldier ever to be classified as 100% disabled twice in his career.
The Lion's Pride tells all their stories with thoroughness and graceful simplicity. Although military historians will surely appreciate its combat narratives, it is at heart a family saga, a tale with profound emotional resonance for parents and children alike.
Book Description
In The Lion's Pride, Edward J. Renehan, Jr. vividly portrays the grand idealism, heroic bravery, and reckless abandon that Theodore Roosevelt both embodied and bequeathed to his children and the tragic fulfillment of that legacy on the battlefields of World War I. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unavailable materials, including letters and unpublished memoirs, The Lion's Pride takes us inside what is surely the most extraordinary family ever to occupy the White House. Theodore Roosevelt believed deeply that those who had been blessed with wealth, influence, and education were duty bound to lead, even--perhaps especially--if it meant risking their lives to preserve the ideals of democratic civilization. Teddy put his principles, and his life, to the test in Spanish American war, and raised his children to believe they could do no less. When America finally entered the "European conflict" in 1917, all four of his sons eagerly enlisted and used their influence not to avoid the front lines but to get there as quickly as possible. Their heroism in France and the Middle East matched their father's at San Juan Hill. All performed with selfless some said heedless courage: Two of the boys, Archie and Ted, Jr., were seriously wounded, and Quentin, the youngest, was killed in a dogfight with seven German planes. Thus, the war that Teddy had lobbied for so furiously brought home a grief that broke his heart. He was buried a few months after his youngest child. Filled with the voices of the entire Roosevelt family, The Lion's Pride gives us the most intimate and moving portrait ever published of the fierce bond between Teddy Roosevelt and his remarkable children.Customer Reviews:

Product Description
Description: Family memoirs and previously unpublished material provide the backdrop for this poignant portrait of a man whose heroic idealism inspired a nation. Edward Renehans graceful prose allows listeners a close-up look at an entire family of larger-than-life heroes. Theodore Roosevelt taught his sons that wealth and influence were inextricably bound with a duty to defend democracy to the death. His own exemplary conduct in the Spanish-American War helped win the war for the United States. Later, as the world watched the Great War escalate in Europe, Roosevelts four sons competed with one another to be the first at the front lines. The pride of watching his sons live up to his high expectations was bittersweet: his youngest was killed in action, and two were seriously wounded. Informative and insightful, this family saga reveals the powerful bond between a devoted father and his children. John McDonoughs impeccable narration exposes the complexity of the Rough Rider who espoused the warrior way of life but sorely regretted the tragedy his ideals visited upon his sons.

Living and Farming in Pike County
Ralph Thomas Kern , and Ralph T. Kern Manufacturer: Xlibris Corporation ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0738866989 |
Book Description
Eight-year-old Ralph Kern had been a farm boy only two years before Depression and droughts threatened the family's economic survival-but didn't dampen boyhood joys. By the time of World War II, the family had survived, and Ralph chose farming as his career. From then until he left farming in mid-1960s, he proved his ability on four farms with widely recognized crop and hog programs. Still working with farmers in Pike County, IL he gave fuller rein to his passions for fishing, hunting, and collecting farm memorabilia. Now over 80, Ralph has written essays on his life and experiences in farming under adversity and in better times, highlighting his love for machinery. Hunting, with well-loved bird dogs, and fishing in many Midwestern, Northwest, and Canadian rivers and lakes get equal billing. And throughout are memorable people with whom he lived, worked, hunted, fished, and collected for three-quarters of a century.

Process Problem Solving: A Guide for Maintenance and Operations Teams (Teach Employees Problem-Solving Tools and Techniques to Incr)
Robert Sproull Manufacturer: Productivity Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 156327244X |
Customer Reviews:
Process Problem Solving.......2001-08-16
Incorporating a variety of learning aids, Process Problem Solving encourages the reader to learn the concepts presented. Sproull uses the "learn, then apply" approach by beginning each chapter with "What You should Learn in this Chapter" to emphasize the major concepts to be presented. In each chapter, Sproull has incorporated illustrations, charts, and examples to explain the concepts in practical terms that may easily be transferred into practice. Each chapter concludes with a problem assignment, to provide practice in applying the concepts, and "What did you learn" which prompts the reader to express what has been learned.
After discussing the tools, their use and application, and the problem solving process, Sproull introduces the "Problem Analysis Flow (PAF) Chart" in Chapter 6. This chart is a new tool for use through the problem solving process. It guides the user through the process in a logical manner. When the PAF Chart is complete, the user should have all the necessary information necessary for corrective action.
The problem solving examples provided in the main text are supplemented by four case studies in the Appendix. Each case study contains a complete discussion of the problem solving process from the discovery of the problem through its analysis, using the PAF Chart supplemented by the tools described in the text, to its resolution. These case studies provide practical examples of the tools, techniques and concepts presented by the author.
Process Problem Solving is a practical text for learning and applying a practical problem solving process. Although intended for a manufacturing setting, the principles, tools, and techniques are equally applicable in a service industry. This book recommended for managers, process engineers, quality managers and others involved in training problem solving methods or the resolution of process problems.
