Customer Reviews:

Great for any teacher.......2006-04-29

I have this book and truly enjoyed using it. It sounds pretty intense but it is easy to read. As a teacher who has taught at almost every level, I can say that the strategies are very sound and accurate. Whether it is an advantage or disadvantage, the book only briefly covers the research they used to develop these strategies. It does hit all the major high points and points out some pitfalls. This is outstanding for a beginning teacher or a quick review for a vetran.

helpful.......2005-07-20

This book is very good at giving strategies that can be utilized in a classroom setting. It will be something that I will refer to often in my teaching. This book will be very helpful and it is a very interesting read.

Book Description

Since the civil rights movement of the 1960s, research into race relations has tended to focus on political and social inequality rather than the economic impact of racism. A Different Vision: African-American Economic Thought redresses this imbalance. It is a landmark two- volume work--the most significant contribution to the study of blacks and economics ever to have been published.

A Different Vision brings together for the first time the ideas, philosophies, and interpretations of North America's leading African-American economists. Each of the thirty-five chapters presented in these two volumes focuses on various aspects of the social and economic experiences of African-Americans, past and present. This volume dramatically illustrates that African-American economists do have "a different vision," as it offers the hard, incontrovertible evidence--as no other book has before--that when it comes to economics, race matters, and that economic inequality caused by race has had and continues to have an immense impact in every sphere of African-American life. Volume 1 of A Different Vision includes an in-depth discussion of the economics of race and gender; an assessment of the contribution and influence of major African-American economists and economic philosophies, including Booker T. Washington, Abram Harris, and Phyllis Wallis; an examination of racism within the economics profession; and an accessible approach which is free of technical jargon.

Volume 2 offers an analysis of urban poverty; discusses aspects of racial inequality and public policy, including affirmative action, and self-help solutions; examines the theory and method which underlies public policy; and studies the impact of racism on the socio-economic status of African-Americans.

Book Description

How can comparable food-processing plants with identical equipment, raw materials, and finished goods, generate different amounts of waste? Too often, the answer is that managers have not considered waste a function of plant efficiency. In Managing Food Industry Waste: Common Sense Methods for Food Processors, waste management expert Robert Zall shares his philosophy and techniques for monitoring and accounting for food processing waste.Plant managers too frequently recognize product recovery only in terms of finished food yields per ton of raw ingredients, or as a percentage of throughput amounts. Managers need to regularly measure waste as a separate and identifiable by-product. Improving in-plant waste abatement methods is less expensive, and far more productive, than end-of-the-pipe treatment and can substantially reduce a plant 's waste load. Managing Food Industry Waste shows food processing managers how today 's waste can become a managed resource for producing economic credits.Drawing on his forty years of experience in managing waste, Zall explains how to identify the actual losses sent to drains and sewage treatment plants, how to pinpoint which unit processes generate these losses, and how to uncover hidden losses previously dismissed as "materials unaccounted for. " An extra feature of the book is a "self-test " covering waste treatment technology; ideal for students or new employees studying waste management. Also included is a Glossary of terms used in water and waste management.The book 's common sense narrative is aimed squarely at food processing managers - this is not an engineering text about how to build and operate wastewater treatment facilities. Instead, Managing Food Industry Waste is a highly readable, management tool filled with invaluable waste management concepts and practical methods for implementation.

Book Description

With software and hardware development techniques improving constantly, it's surprising to learn that more than half of all technology projects overrun their schedules and budgets by 200 percent or more. Computerworld magazine recently reported several surveys showing that project failure is overwhelmingly traceable to poorly defined project organization, a lack of training, weak executive support, inconsistent methods and policies, and other readily addressed factors.

Managing Information Technology Projects gives systems project managers field-proven tools and step-by-step methodologies to start and complete every project -- hardware, software, or integration -- within prescribed parameters. Coverage includes:

* Organizing information technology project teams and developing project plans * Risk management issues for IT projects * Systems engineering * Customer requirements and service * Project monitoring, control, closeout, and assessment
