great business dictionary.......2000-03-31

I find this book very helpful for translators. If you need a business or business related word in either English or Spanish you will find it here. It is very complete, easy to use and easy to understand. A great investment.

Very good reference book.......2000-02-02

I bought this after reading a good review in a translator's journal and it's very good. I translate for corporations in my area - and this covers translations of tens of thousands of the business words I need. There are lots of basic general terms, but it's also comprehensive with specialist words and expressions. It's got definitions and translations so would probably be okay for college business students too.

very bad.......1999-10-20

lacks coverage of even the most basic terms. plus, the name is not so challenging

Excellent content: poor binding.......2007-09-16

I have found the dictionary to be excellent. But the dictionary's binding quickly began to fail. Also, at my college a class was using the dictionary and they all fell apart so it wasn't just mine that was defective. I still use my copy even though it must now be in about twenty pieces and held together by an elastic band. I wish a hard cover edition was available.

A Great Buy.......2007-01-08

This particular is very light, small, but very compact. I found everything I needed was already in here, which was great. I would recommend it.

Great Dictionary.......2006-10-20

So far, this is the most complete and accurate dictionary that I work with on a regular basis. I was able to find about 90% of the words I was looking for, but to be fair, the Portuguese language I'm dealing with is ancient and suspect that I would need a Spanish, Galician, and Latin dictionary to find those obscure or "obsolete" forms of the words I've come across.

If you're learning the modern language, this dictionary is a must have.

Good dictionary.......2005-07-15

This item is a good buy. It has most words you'll want to look up in Portuguese (there were a few I couldn't find, but could figure out, more or less). I wish there was some more information on grammar such as how to conjugate, recognizing different verb forms, etc. Due to the nature of Portuguese, some words that are very common won't be in there, such as a conjugated form of a verb. This can lead to confusion if you don't already know all the conjugation tables. That's why 4, not 5.

Great definitions.......2005-06-28

This is an excellent resource for anyone who is an English speaker and seriously interested in learning Portuguese, or vice-versa. (For those who only want a tourist pocket dictionary, there are others that are smaller and lighter that will meet your needs.) This dictionary has sufficient breadth without being too large (physically). Most importantly, it is the best on the market in terms of providing correct definitions as well as differentiating between word use in Portugual vs. Brazil.

I'm from the U.S. and have been living and working in Brazil off and on now for 3 years. This dictionary has continued to be invaluable from my journey as a beginning speaker to a fluent translator.

My only complaint is that the binding eventually begins to come apart. It is because of this that I only gave the book 4 stars. In terms of content, it is 5 stars. I believe it is the best Portuguese/English dictionary you can buy on the U.S. market.

UML Usability.......2001-09-25

Designing Easy-to-use Websites is much more than a conventional usability book, it's an attempt to make us rethink the entire Web design process. Instead of directly jumping into the fun stuff of design and layout, as most designers tend to do, Vanessa Donnelly advocates a much more structured approach to Web site development that includes analysis and design techniques that enable a Web development team to design usable websites.

The process she lays out is not unlike a well-run software development project (only with continuous updates). Based on her own extensive usability research, and experience as IBM's chief usability guru, Vanessa has compiled a comprehensive, high-level, uber-guide to creating high quality, scaleable, and maintainable Web sites.

Donnelly's thesis? Usability is much more than layout and link colors, it bubbles up naturally from a well-planned database- driven site using a content management system that scales well, raises productivity, and dramatically reduces operating budgets.

The idea is to plan for expansion early, and separate the different components of content into manageable, discrete chunks (content, layout, style, navigation, and classification) that all exist independently, and can be assembled using a database. The days of lone webmasters coding entire Web sites by hand are over. In order to succeed, today's e-business sites need a content management system, extensive up-front planning and usability testing throughout the entire development process.

The author first shows how the current ad-hoc one-HTML-page-at-a-time methods are not working, and can cause problems as sites scale. Maintenance, version control, access, archiving, deletion, and classification are all made more difficult and ad-hoc by using a manual process. By separating out the various components of Web sites into discrete orthogonal chunks, and using a structured approach to planning and deployment, you can avoid many of the problems static hand-coded Web sites are experiencing today. As these "first-generation" sites grow larger, the maintenance problems multiply and productivity suffers, and they become an unwieldly mess of broken links and outdated information.

The solution? A database flowing into templates of course.

Unlike Veen and Rosenfeld and any other authors I've seen, Donnelly shows the entire Web site development process, and puts each task into words and UML diagrams, making the entire process clear. Business, user, and content analysis examples are shown, plus requirements for content providers, UI engineers, info architects, and content managers, along with checklists of best practices along the way. Finally, the site requirements and a "clear understanding of the user tasks that must be supported" are transformed into information models using standard UML diagrams so popular in the software development industry.

The net result? Think of this book as a success engine, with handy success templates and best practices. While the entire process is more than most webmasters would undertake, the book gives you marvelous goals to shoot for, and provides inspiration for improvement. The size and scope of this book are so large that a full review is impossible to fit in this space (you'll just have to buy the book :), but this is an impressive effort to encapsulate the entire Web development and usability process in a logical way...

Emphasizes front and back-end integration.......2001-03-14

I agree that the Netherlands reviewer in that the title is a bit of a misnomer in the current design/usability climate. *However* I think this is an excellent book for that odd group in every enterprise known as "core development", "integration and strategy", "publishing and architecture" or what have you. Those who approach usability from the front end only are told straight up that you really need to develop your back-end systems, particularly your content management system, at the same time as your site in order for maximum efficiency and usability to happen. This kind of info is often left out when pundits discuss usability and ease-of-use -- it's unglamourous but absolutely vital -- and this book allows you to present your case to your boss in a very persuasive manner. Only complaints are the largish number of IBM services group plugs, but since the author works for IBM, I guess that's natural.

About time.......2001-01-23

This book elevates designing web sites to the status of a science. I've read plenty of books telling me which colors to use and how to make things readable on a acreen. Most were interesting but focused on presentation. Designing a scalable and managable database-driven web site is not easy, but this book spells out the steps in a logical structure

It also links business processes directly to the construction of a web site. Content managemnent, ownership, classification, information modelling, workflow etc are all examined in detail.

If I have one criticism, it's that the section on XML standards could be expanded. These days, sharing content at the db level with other web sites is crucial to many businesses. The section on page 142 talks briefly and then refers you to more in-depth information online. I guess the author figured that XML is really a separate book.

If you have some heavy-lifting to do in terms of an industrial strength web site, spending a couple of days reading this book could save you a lot of time later addressing scalability and management issues. I've not seen another book like this.

RDW

very disappointing book.......2001-01-22

Just to give you an idea, there are about 130 pages on website development concepts and about 175 on how to hire the right people on your web team. I am sure it is important to have the right people but I am not THAT sure. The writer obviously is. The whole book has 2 chapters on actually designing an easy-to-use website. This is not what I expect from a book with such a title. Buy Jacob Nielsens book, Designing Web Usability, to get a real sence of how to build a good site. The writer seems to have taken most information from his website as it is quoted many times in the appendix. Look at that site and you'll know a lot more for a lot less.

Excellent.......2001-01-14

Well worth buying, this book does an excellent job of explaining why it's important that your Website is easy to use, and how you can design it to make it so. If you are planning to do business on the Web, this book is essential reading. The author has clearly thought through the issues and come up with a design approach which adresses them.

Book Description

Regulating the risks associated with economic activities is a feature of modern societies and one in which the state increasingly seeks to co-opt the regulatory powers of corporations. This book examines the impact of a system of enforced self-regulation on the corporate life of British Railways. It uses this case study of occupational health and safety regulation to focus on broader theoretical and empirical discussions of regulation, risk, and corporate activities. A central organizing perspective of this book is that regulation is a form of risk management. It examines how workplace risks in modern societies are managed by businesses and the individuals within them and considers what influence the law has in this. The tensions between the constitutive and controlling aspects of regulatory law are analysed with reference to in-depth empirical data about corporate and individual compliance and non-compliance. Related concerns about the social control of organizational and economic life are explored and their policy and theoretical implications examined. These issues are especially significant following the privatization of Britain's rail network and the introduction of regulatory systems which are highly reliant on industry self-regulation. More generally, their significance is highlighted by the increasing popularity of risk-based approaches to corporate governance. The book argues that if regulation is to be an effective way of managing risk we need to pay more attention to the assumptions we make about corporate life and be more prepared to use the full range of regulatory sources and tools available to us.
