MUST HAVE FOR ALL PARENTS!!.......2006-03-09

This is a great book for assessing your child's education so that you can catch deficiences and correct them before they snowball. Thank you, Ann Cook! You've done all conscientious parents a tremendous service by writing these 3 books...I also love that they are now compiled into 1 book. Unfortunately, you can't just assume you child is learning all the essential skills in today's schools. Trust, but verify!!

Great for parents and teachers!.......2001-02-19

As the mother of a 3 year old son, I found the book to offer great insights for his current age - allowing him to choose what is showcased on the refrigerator, having him "read the pictures" and encouraging him to be happy that he "reads like a 3 year old", as well as providing games and projects for us to work on as he progresses. I found it to be very helpful, easy to read, and broken down into small tasks/projects that are very easy to follow.

Completely outdated!.......2007-06-16

As with all software-specific manuals, this one is well behind the releases of the software, which is not very surprizing (except that it IS still on the market!).

Benchmark book on a relatively young discipline of CI/BI.......2000-04-08

This is the most professional collection of articles on competitive intelligence I know of, with a good mix of both technical intelligence and foreign intelligence information. The Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP)has grown from 2,000 members in 1992 to 6,000 in 1999, and it's journal as well as its conferences, set the industry standard. A relatively low standard, but the standard never-the-less.

Book Description

For many Germans the hyperinflation of 1922 to 1923 was one of the most decisive experiences of the twentieth century. In his original and authoritative study, Bernd Widdig investigates the effects of that inflation on German culture during the Weimar Republic. He argues that inflation, with its dynamics of massification, devaluation, and the rapid circulation of money, is an integral part of modern culture and intensifies and condenses the experience of modernity in a traumatic way.

The best of all the consulting books!.......2005-01-07

I have actually been an independent consultant for 9 years, but I wanted to become more successful - so I bought several books on the subject. This was by far the best book on consulting that I found. Every warning he gave to the reader was SO TRUE - it nearly always described a mistake I had made along the way that had hindered my success! I read several poor reviews of this book, but I can only imagine that the reviewers were new to the world of independent consulting, and maybe were hoping for a rosier picture!

Doesn't Measure Up..........2003-06-03

I agree with the other reviewers: there are many other books that cover the material in more detail and in far fewer pages. I'd recommend Alan Weiss' "Million Dollar Consulting" or Alan's "Getting Started in Consulting." Either of these books should be considered a MUST addition to any consultant's library. Overall grade: D+/C-

Not So Concise.......2001-01-11

I have to admit that there was some useful information in the book. Especially in setting fees, importance of retainers, the current outlook towards the consulting industry. While Mr. Holtz does have a great amount of knowledge, that can be quickly seen in the text, I find his writing style lacking and even frustrating. Many subjects appear in the book multiple times - a rehashing of subjects he has already discussed. This, and the back and forth references of subject matter was disconcerting. I think that if the duplication of information was removed from the book, the nearly 300 page book would be about 25% smaller.

Reviewed by Azlan Adnan.

He holds a Master's degree in International Business and Management from the Westminster Business School in London.

Herman Holtz updated for the late nineties.......1999-09-02

Holtz's general consulting guide has been updated for the new millenium with this new concise edition. Notice it is concise, perhaps in deference to the whole notion of the lack of reading time our contemporary business environment. Nevertheless the book is packed full of advice about the nuts and bolts of consulting and the perspective is useful to experienced consultants as well as beginners..

I was struck by two issues that are emphasized in the book. There is lots of attention paid to the notion of continuous marketing. According to Holtz, most businesses fail because of a lack of a marketing strategy; they just don't have enough sales. The other emphasis is an in-depth discussion of consulting to government agencies at the local, state and federal levels

Book Description

This book was born from the editor's conviction that a wide set of contributors should provide the economic and corporate sectors with guidelines, developed from rigorous research and case studies, to analyze those adjustments made necessary through international terrorism, as known since September 11th, 2001. It argues that corporate asset protection and accurate business risk assessment is vital to the longevity, and resilience of business.

The volume reveals how the pre-9/11 era of contemporary economic history gave birth to a nexus of a) globalization b) increased systemic vulnerability and complexity and c) the transitions of terrorism. As a result, the post-9/11 era is one which should incorporate risk analysis audits on a regular basis, political and geopolitical risk research, the use of quantitative risk assessment and qualitative risk analysis to implement risk strategy planning, its management and appropriate risk transfer considerations.

The formulated call of this work is for diplomacy and business to incorporate the knowledge and lessons of international threat, security and disaster. Their management may reveal important competitive advantages in the long run.

Terrorism and the International Business Environment will appeal to a wide audience of risk strategists, CEOs of MNCs, credit risk analysts, as well as academics of international business and politics.
