Geometry-success in 20 minutes a day.......2000-07-12

I am a homeschooling mother of 2 high school students. I have been teaching geometry but with great difficulty. It has been 30 years since I have taken geometry and it was not a happy experience then and a struggle now. We do use a regular textbook but they are not always as clear a I would like them to be. I have been using this book as a back up in teaching the basics. They are clearly presented and easy to grasp. Each chapter presents a concept with self tests to make sure you understand before you go on the the next idea. It is a great suppliment to our textbook and a good review for the GED test.

Zig covers the basics with ease.......2007-06-28

Being new to the selling business I found this a very useful tool for covering the basics needed for a successful start.
It was a big boost for me.

Zig Ziglar hits this one out of the park.......2007-06-12

I felt that once again Zig Ziglar came out on top with this product.
Currently, I am in the process of learning how to sell and the audio cd's on selling by Zig really helped me perform my job more effeciently.

WOW!.......2007-03-24

Wow, wow, wow!
If you are in sales, this little cassette will save you money, time, and energy. This is a must have for all sales people.
If you are a sales professional and dont have this little gem, I dont think you are serious about your sales!

Brian Tracey is much better.......2007-03-22

I purchased both this audio book and Brian Tracey's Psychology of Selling, the Art of Closing the Sale on audio book. I have never written a review on Amazon and my dissapointment was enough to motivate me to do se. First off the auther is very distracting with a voice that sounds like Mr. Roper from Threes Company. Secondly just about everything minus one or two things was available in Brian Tracey's audio book. Get Brian Tracey, it's worth the money. It has more information, longer in length, presented much better, no corny humor, and best of all, he doesn't sound like Mr. Roper. Hope this helps.

Total waste of time!.......2007-03-19

Zig only states the obvious, with the worse humor. Tries to portray motivation by boasting his own arrogance. Rip off!!!

Book Description

This major two volume work presents a new decision making tool which enables manufacturers and scientists to undertake life-cycle assessment (LCA) of new products from the design and development stages. The methodology allows the enviromental consequences of a product to enter into decision making in the same way as traditional commercial parameters such as price, quality, etc. Significantly, it is in accordance with international consensus, as defined by SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Moreover, the individual steps have been made operational through the creation of a collection of tools for assessment. The books are derived from the Environmental Design of Industrial Products (EDIP) programme organized by the Technical University of Denmark and five leading Danish companies. The project was sponsored by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Confederation of Danish Industries.

Book Description

Government subsidized crop insurance has been used by a number of developed countries as a mechanism to reduce farm income instability by reducing yield risks. This book provides an in-depth analysis and evaluation of government provided crop insurance in developed countries. The book is organized into three sections: Part one presents background material on crop insurance programs in the U.S., Canada and selected other countries. Part two provides some analytical models of multiple peril crop insurance which suggest the possibility of modification of design which could improve performance and which explores theoretical linkages between crop insurance decisions and other producer decisions previously not analyzed. The main part of the book is Part three, where the results of a series of empirical studies using databases particularly designed to answer crop insurance questions are presented. This part of the book tests a number of the hypotheses which were raised in Parts one and two regarding reasons for the view widely held by economists that crop insurance has not functioned well.
