Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide: A Handbook of Employment Laws and Regulations : Federal, Oregon, Washington
Michele A. Potts Manufacturer: Summers Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Ring-bound ASIN: 1567590055 |
Book Description
This book concerns the most important relationship most people have outside the family: the relationship between an employer and an employee. That relationship is crisscrossed by a complex web of laws and regulations. This book describes those laws in a direct, straightforward fashion.The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide provides the "lay of the land" of personnel law and regulations and integrates the state and federal law that is relevant to an employer. Each section of the book attempts to include both the underlying concept and a simple, straightforward rule.
This book is written in small, self-contained sections. The reader does not need to refer to the rest of the chapter, much less the rest of the book, to find information about a topic. Although this method of writing causes some duplication, it more than repays the reader in the efficiency of its use.
The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide is supplemented at least yearly, and more often if major legislation or court cases require. In order to incorporate updated pages easily, the book is published in a three-ring notebook. The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide is, and will continue to be, one of the most current employment law books available anywhere in the nation.
"Memo English" is used throughout this book. Whenever possible, the author has avoided terms not found regularly in a newspaper and discussions that would appear out-of-place in a business memo. This book is a non-technical discussion of technical topics.

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful.......2007-02-11
Great pictures, but lacking ideas.......2004-05-19
Ideas include putting flowers from the garden into bottles, or using big "floppy roses", or colored packing peanuts. Not to origional, but still beautiful. She does convey the importance of giving thoughtful gifts, not just store bought items. Some reviewers had said that this is just a repeat of what is shown on her television show. I personally don't watch the show, so it's not a repeat for me.
Without the photography, I would have rated this book a two. But the pictures are what inspires you to give creative and thoughtful gifts.

Practical Mathematical Optimization: An Introduction to Basic Optimization Theory and Classical and New Gradient-Based Algorithms (Applied Optimization)
Jan A. Snyman Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 038729824X |
Book Description
This book presents basic optimization principles and gradient-based algorithms to a general audience in a brief and easy-to-read form, without neglecting rigor. The work should enable professionals to apply optimization theory and algorithms to their own particular practical fields of interest, be it engineering, physics, chemistry, or business economics. Most importantly, for the first time in a relatively brief and introductory work, due attention is paid to the difficulties – such as noise, discontinuities, expense of function evaluations, and the existence of multiple minima – that often unnecessarily inhibit the use of gradient-based methods. In a separate chapter on new gradient-based methods developed by the author and his coworkers, it is shown how these difficulties may be overcome without losing the desirable features of classical gradient-based methods.

Renaissance 2000: Liberal Arts Essentials for Tomorrow's Leaders (Psi Successful Business Library)
Luigi Salvaneschi Manufacturer: Oasis Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1555714129 |
Book Description
The leaders of tomorrow must be whole people, able to deal with conceptual and abstract ideas in order to cultivate their reason, judgment, aesthetics and ethics. While most business books will teach you practical means of honing professional, technical, and vocational skills, Renaissance 2000 will show you why being a whole leader is the key to success.In an age when most businesses are international or have the potential to become international, communications must break through the barriers of language, culture, customs, and values. Only when we are in touch with each other in these ways will our relationships become meaningful. Tomorrow's leaders must create a link that will counteract the damage caused by separation and specialization.
A resurgence of small companies in the United States has brought with it a new breed of thinkers with initiative, energy, and speed. In direct parallel with the Renaissance movement of the 15th-17th centuries, humanistic principles are flourishing, and business people need to be equipped with philosophical wisdom. Renaissance 2000 will show you how to be a better communicator, performer, and producer by using humanistic knowledge and experience.
Each chapter of Renaissance 2000 features recommended reading and viewing to complement the text and help you broaden your perspectives. The chapters also feature exercises to improve your skills and inspire creative thinking.
"The human mind becomes dull, bored, and flat with exactitude and the perfection of skills; however, it becomes excited, alive, and three-dimensional through the discovery and generation of new ideas," says Salvaneschi.

REALLY BAD.......2006-03-26
A Great Little Cookbook.......2003-05-19
"Caraway Cutlets"?, I think she meant "Kotlettes" (meatballs).
Its the sort of recipe book that will happy sit on the cookbook shelf near the stove, as a reference to remind you of how grandma used to cook. I've always wondered how to make "Galerts", and there four different recipes for "piragi" dough.
A bit US-centric for my taste, but thats easily overcome.
A few photos of the prepared meal would be nice, you would normally expect it in this price range.
There are a good range of recipes including a whole chapter on potatoes, meat fish, breads, soups and porridges.
Not sure how many of my Kiwi mates would buy it, but hey, thats their loss.
Love the historical stuff interspersed with "dainas" (Latvian Folk Songs) and Latvian symbols.
Presentation is frankly unimaginative, but I can live with that.
I enjoyed this little cookbook, and look forward to the day it's updated with more recipes and colour photos.
