Learn the secrets of running your own business.......2000-07-15

Reading this book is like sitting down with a person who has "done it" and learning their secrets for success. An easy read, full of real-life stories and very specific "how-to's", this little book is filled with good ideas and insights.

Book Description

"This is the project management book I've been waiting a decade for! . . . The new world is the Project World, and this book gloriously shows the way."-Tom Peters

How to get beyond the formulas and succeed in real-world project management

Project Management Success Stories begins where most books on project management leave off-with the real-world experiences of professional project managers working without a net. From these stories and the lessons they teach, project managers emerge not as bureaucrats or technicians clinging to rules and formulas but as champions who challenge the status quo, set goals that extend the limits of their teams' capabilities, rely more on judgment and intuition than calculation, and are not afraid to take risks when necessary.

Based on a comprehensive, NASA-sponsored research project, this practical guide takes readers beyond textbook management systems and articulates the field-proven tacit knowledge that these veteran leaders have accumulated through years of experience under fire. These stories contain lessons that extend far beyond the field of engineering; they apply in any environment, from the government task force to the corporate boardroom to the shop floor. This remarkably unconventional how-to book:
* Features 70 firsthand project management success stories
* Presents actionable lessons demonstrated by these success stories
* Inspires and energizes readers to reach new heights in their own performance
* Conveys leadership principles and intangibles in a simple, nontechnical format
* Provides resources for creating success stories within any organization
* Includes profiles of five "star" project managers

Project management is not just for engineers anymore, and Project Management Success Stories is for anyone-engineer or generalist, project manager or team member-who wants to turn the tacit knowledge of proven professionals into hands-on solutions to the recurring challenges of a dynamic and constantly changing business and technological environment.

The Book is itself a Great Success.......2000-04-21

This book is great on three critical dimensions

Format--Structure Content--Concepts Reality--Real-life

The format of very succinct articles is the key to all great literature.

Usually the things of most worth are simply stated Majestic in concept Whip sentences in writing Words with wallop, like burning, hanging and the rack

Words that crash through our defenses That force us to face reality That compress a vital concept Into spear-like succinctness

The concepts are true--and illstrated to establish their verity

The practicality of each article and concept is substantiated by the real-life experiences that serve as their basis

This is a vital addition to the literature on system design and development: projects.

beautiful wedding decorations and gifts on a small budget.......2004-07-09

Lots of tips on everything from the engagement party thru wedding party gifts on to the getaway vehicle. There are plenty of nice line drawings which should help the do-it-yourselfer. This book was a bit to frilly(lots of ribbons and bows)for my taste, but if thats your kind of thing, it would be great.

You can do it, cheaply.......2003-04-11

After a lot of research on weddings, I bought this book about a year before my 1996 wedding, and although I never used it for that wedding I kept it because of the ideas that can be used for occasions other than weddings. Biscotti was "hot" at that time, and she has an easy recipe for it to bag and give as gifts. Gift baskets are included as well as something called a "crazy quilt," which looks easy and I hope to attempt one day (mostly to use up all my fabric scraps.)

While some of the other reviewers called it "girly," and I agree, but there are more ideas than most people would use. Mrs. Warner's other books also contain the same types of ideas.

The overblown bridal "industry" will have you believe that if you want a "proper" wedding, spending $10K to $20K is reasonable. It's not. It is NOT necessary to mortgage your future on a one-day event. That kind of money is a degree! Enjoy your day, of course, but don't blow it on a party. Reasonably priced weddings with all the trimmings are possible. I did it, and it was because I did research before I spent a dime.

Small budget, HAH!! Maybe for Bill Gates.......2002-01-31

I don't know where the writer of this book comes from, but it must be from money. There is nothing in this book for a normal bride trying to save money. I would NOT recommend this book for anyone on a budget. It was a total waste of time and money.

Too much hearts and flowers.......2000-03-24

I have to agree with the previous review; I found the book to be more girly than upscale. Fortunately, I bought the book used, so it wasn't much of an investment. But, yes, if you're looking for "Cinderella", you might find tons of romantic ideas that can keep you within a budget. This book is useful as a starting point, to get your creative juices going. If you're looking for truly unique, memorable, and modern, this book is not for you.

I found the book to be a great help for the reception.......1999-09-18

We created the tulle gazebo that is in the book. Other than adding a few extra touches, we did extacly how it was described. We received many compliments on it. I also did some of the favors, and incorporated some of the idea themes into our ceremony and reception. This book may not be for the "Modern Bride", but it is worth looking at if you are wanting to have a "Cinderella Wedding" without the expense.

Great Read for Anecdotes .......2007-03-13

I like reading biographies but oftentimes when they are about a historical figure I get bored before the author gets to the interesting stuff. This biography is organized by subject -- i.e. Hitler's favorite foods, wardrobe, etc. It is nice because, to be honest, it's that kind of thing I'm interested in anyway. I don't particularly care to go through every aspect about him.

I enjoyed being able to read about one aspect of his character at a time. I gained a lot of insight into how he lived and what might have influenced his views and decisions without getting bored in the process.

A highly readable and useful book.......2005-03-15

I don't think you could come up with any question about Hitler -- no matter how silly, serious or obscure -- which isn't answered in this book. You can try, but you probably won't succeed. My young nephew was assigned this book in a college level history course. When I was in college, none of the history books we were forced to read were anywhere near as entertaining (if I can use that word about Hitler) and down-right fascinating as this one. It is carefully researched and documented, scholarly, without ever being the least pedantic. Even if you think you already know enough about Hitler, I highly recommend you read this book.

Adolph Hitler - A to Z.......2003-03-28

Any book with the name of Adolph Hitler in the title is bound to catch the eye of all Germanophiles - serious and semi-serious - and those people will grab this book off the shelf, automatically. It is only 195 pages, and so, is not really a serious biography of Hitler - but it is, nevertheless, a very readable book , especially for those who are already somewhat familiar with Hitler and German history - which means, I guess, sadly, mainly for just those people over 60.
Nevertheless, there are many people with a sense of history who will remember that Hitler was an Austrian-born megalomaniac with mesmerizing oratorical skills, who after fighting in the trenches in World War I gravitated to politics and eventually - in 1933 - rose to become the leader (eventually the dictator) - the "Fuehrer" - of Germany. Hitler was determined to right all the wrongs he thought Germany had been subjected to following the Treaty of Versailles, to restore the German economy, to establish Germany as the leading country of the world, to establish the German Third Reich (Empire)which was to endure one thousand years (it lasted 12) and to purify the German Aryan race - which, for various reasons, required the elimination of the Jewish population - wherever and whenever the opportunity permitted. While this book contains bits and pieces of that unbelievable saga, it deals with none of those issues in any great detail.
What author Fuchs does focus upon in his little book is certain trivia, personal ideosyncracies and eccentricities of Hitler that he judges will be of interest to fans of Hitler
and German history. Fuchs divides his book into 35 short chapters (5-10 pages per), which makes for easy reading. A sample of some of the chapter headings will illustrate the variety of subjects that Fuchs deals with: Hitler's mustache, his dog, his book ("Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle"), Nazi party stuff ( songs, flags, uniforms, greetings, titles, etc.), the "People's Car" (Volkswagen), Hitler, the orator, Hitler's women friends, Hitler, the hypochondriac, Hitler's diet, his dentist, his wardrobe, his reading habits, his tastes in movies, his artistic passions, his money, his anti-Semitism, his relationships with Goering, Goebbles, and Himmler - and more.
The book also contains some 38 pages of notes (but no foot notes), 8 pages of bibliography (containing titles of some more serious biographies of Hitler) and a 26-page chronology of the major events that transpired during Hitler's life - private and
political. The book is in its way entertaining - and reading this book might prompt the reader to move on to other, more serious, more comprehensive books on these matters.

Stay away from this book!.......2002-08-24

This book was a poorly compiled regurgitation of Allied World War II propaganda. The author had an incredible bias against Adolf Hitler and it gushes out in every chapter. According to this book, anything that Hitler did was the most evil, demented or terrible thing in all of history. When Hitler did ordinary things, or showed kindness, the author criticizes these as well.

Unless you want to read a book that is dedicated to Hitler bashing, I would stay away from this one. You will learn absolutely nothing, except disproven lies, from it. I am not quite sure how people can get away with publishing such discredited information and call it history.

Reader beware.........2002-07-11

The author of this book set out to write about a subject he apparantly didn't understand. I don't know what his sources were, but if his readers actually believe most of the things he has written here as "facts", then they are as naive as he is. It is a small book full of hearsay and fabrications, making Fuchs's so-called "Concise Biography" anything but. This book is sad proof that anything can be published nowadays. This is definitely one to avoid.

Quant Free! (MBA Appropriate).......2000-02-10

This text doesn't waste time teaching MBA students how to race through simplex by hand (should anyone?) but instead focuses on what's important - models, assumptions, and reality checks. Sure, it's loaded with terrible puns but the reader is left feeling that they've been shown valuable techniques by people that care whether enjoyable learning is taking place. The examples are done in pre-Windows STORM, so there's a need for updating by one party or the other but the prose will never go out of style.

Book Description

This thoroughly revised and updated edition of a classic text provides a comprehensive, non-technical overview of the principles of environmental and resource economics. The distinguished group of authors offer both an introduction to the economic causes and consequences of environmental and resource problems and an assessment of recent developments in environmental policy instruments and corporate responses to environmental problems. The first part of the book provides a broad overview of the economic causes of environmental and resource misallocation in a market economy and analyzes the implications of environmental policy and the problems involved in valuation. This serves as a foundation for expansion of the discussion to business policymakers and the argument that environmental economics should place greater emphasis on processes taking place within the firm. Further insights are also offered into such important topics as international trade and environmental policy, social accounting, green taxation, waste management and the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality.
