Reference Manual To Mitigate Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings: Providing Protection To People And Buildings, December 2003

Book Description

This book is about the place of pedagogy and the role of intellectuals in medieval dissent. Focusing on the medieval English heresy known as Lollardy, Rita Copeland shows how how radical teachers transformed inherited ideas about classrooms and pedagogy as they brought their teaching to adult learners. The pedagogical imperatives of Lollard dissent were also embodied in the work of certain public figures, intellectuals whose dissident careers transformed the social category of the medieval intellectual.

Download Description

This book is about the place of pedagogy and the role of intellectuals in medieval dissent. Focusing on the medieval English heresy known as Lollardy, Rita Copeland places heretical and orthodox attitudes to learning in a long historical perspective that reaches back to antiquity. She shows how educational ideologies of ancient lineage left their imprint on the most sharply politicised categories of late medieval culture, and how radical teachers transformed inherited ideas about classrooms and pedagogy as they brought their teaching to adult learners. The pedagogical imperatives of Lollard dissent were also embodied in the work of certain public figures, intellectuals whose dissident careers transformed the social category of the medieval intellectual. Looking closely at the prison narratives of two Lollard preachers, Copeland shows how their writings could serve as examples for their fellow dissidents and forge a new rapport between academic and non-academic communities.

Book Description

The purpose of Business Process Engineering: Advancing the State of the Art is to outline the structure of Business Process Engineering (BPE), its practices, methods, and theory for implementing successful organization restructuring. BPE is the design and implementation of efficient and effective business processes, and the corresponding alignment of enabling information technologies and systems. The editors have assembled the best research on BPE and recreated a structured volume that provides academic researchers and practitioners with a theoretical and practical framework for implementing specific BPE solutions for business and government. Hence, the book covers theoretical efforts towards the creation of new methods in BPE and practical issues that relate to its actual implementation in the real world of business and government. Authors from industry, government, and academia have contributed individual chapters. The emphasis is on methodology that can be replicated. Industry and governmental contributors have provided a synthesis of BPE experiences or individual case studies. In both cases, the work is intended to lead to lessons learned that may be successfully employed by others. The academically oriented chapters relate BPE methodologies to other forms of organizational change, building on previous research in related areas. The chapters are grouped as follows: Structures for BPE, Model Development, Information Technology for BPE, Tools for BPE, and Case Studies of BPE. The goal of this volume is to present works that clarify the definition of the field and establish factors that lead to success in implementation. The editors' premise is that the objective of BPE is to bring about organizational improvement by the application of scientific principles and the use of enabling information technologies. This new methodology, founded and nurtured in practice, will evolve into a mature academic field that will involve many diverse academic disciplines. This volume is intended to contribute to that development.

Microsoft Project 2003 seems to be an afterthought.......2007-01-09

This book does a very good job of explaining the essentials of project management, as well as basic project management theory. The problem for me lies with the "with Microsoft Project 2003" part of the book - the lack of practice or at least example files. Screen shots illustrating various Project 2003 screens were just not enough for me - I needed to see (and the book should have referred to) actual sample Microsoft Project projects. In addition, it could have been a bit more comprehensive - I found that a lot of basic Project 2003 how to information was missing. Project 2003 is a very feature rich application and this book just scratches the surface. I think the Microsoft Press Step-by-Step volume is a much better introduction to using this application for project management (although not as strong on the theory).

Does what it says on the tin.......2006-11-02

Good read that gave me lots of handy hints and tips, both in project management itself and in using Project 2003. A definite buy.

I feel this book is easy to understand and implementable. I use the book daily to help me improve my event planning and managment.

The Complete Idoits Guide to Project Management w/ Microsoft Project 2003.......2005-10-15

Ron has delivered a powerful book for anyone that uses Microsoft Project 2003 because he explains complicated concepts in an easy to understand format. But this book is more than a software guide, it provides an enlightening approach to project management that makes this book worth reading for anyone in project management regardless of whether they use Microsoft Project or not.

Unfortunately, too many books and articles on project management offer poor advice. These are written by technicians who don't understand the real world - they focus on process instead of results. Project Management is simply the art of getting things done. Ron knows how to get results and reveals the secrets to getting the desired results. I've presented hundreds of seminars on project management, yet the advice Ron conveys in his easy to read style still opens my eyes to new ideas. This is a book everyone in project management must read. I know my copy will be worn out.

Covers all the basics for handling Microsoft Project 2003, 2000 and 2002, providing updated terms, tips for approaching workgroup projects and communication requirements, and project presentation. Chapters show how to both operate the application itself and get the most from project goals.

Do you recognize the business value of "execution"--the critical ability to deliver what you promise, under budget and on time--but aren't quite sure how to get there consistently? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Project Management, by marketing and business-development specialists Sunny and Kim Baker, outlines proven ways to apply this key skill to various situations. In typical Idiot's Guide fashion, it explains all of the steps necessary to plan a project, assemble and lead teams, monitor progress, and bring resultant efforts to a successful conclusion. Tips on resolving conflict, handling change, using software, and keeping in touch with those involved are among the highlights. In a chapter called "Making Your Communications Count," for example, the Bakers examine numerous methods for distributing information that will "get your message across." They first look at the pros and cons of nine forms of interchange, from telephone and e-mail to memo and presentation; they then offer guidelines for creating effective messages and selecting appropriate delivery vehicles. Similar treatment also is given to other relevant topics, such as assembling adequate resources, launching projects in ways that motivate participants, and moving team members to other roles once their current job is finished. --Howard Rothman

Idiots.......2006-02-25

Excellent guide for those wanting to learn about project management. Used this for a class and it was extremely helpful. Easy, clear reading.

A Practical Introduction to Project Management.......2006-01-13

A practical, direct introduction to project management in plain English -- that's how I would sum up this book.

The Bakers use PMI terminology (the project initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing processes), and provide good guidance throughout the book to beginners.

Each chapter is well structured with a clear introduction, middle and summary. There are practical common sense tips throughout the book, examples are easy to follow and there are useful bullet points that you can use as checklists for your projects.

If you are a seasoned projet manager, this book is not for you. However, it can be of great use if you are planning to create a project management training session for your company/clients.

Good Introduction for the New Project Manager.......2005-08-11

This is a good first book for those without any project experience. It explains concepts clearly, and gives good examples. It will probably not provide enough depth for those individuals who are beyond the beginning phase: again, that doesn't appear to be its intent. I enjoy the way this series chunks information into easily digestible forms.

Excellent Book !!.......2004-11-11

It's been about 30 years since I did any reading on management
in school, but those years it now appears have been littered with
something that I didn't know to call Project Management.
I was nodding my head in agreement all the way through the book.

This text seems to have combined the terminology and structure
of Project Management (new to me) with a very appropriate emphasis on the coordination, communication, and for lack of a better word, politics of making something happen.
This book is not another over-simplified to the point of being
useless novice book. This one is filled with useful material yet still reads well.

Excellent Companion for those new to Project Management........2003-04-07

Actually, it isn't bad for experienced project managers to review the different sections of this book for a quick refresher on an annual basis. This is a very good book to have on your desk while you are working on your first couple of projects as a project manager. It explains in very simple terms the various aspects of this extensive field of project management. Like everyone else, you too may feel like project management is too overwhelming a subject when you first start out. It really helps to have a book like this nearby. You may want to keep it out of sight to prevent silly remarks from your colleagues.

The sidebars that you will see throughout the book 'Words from the Wise' and 'Project Lingo' are extremely useful to read and get upto speed on the definitions and the tricks of the trade. The only limitation that I found is that the treatment on some of the topics isn't very complete. That is completely understandable as this isn't aimed at teaching advanced tricks of the trade to the seasoned project manager. For that, you need to refer to an advanced book like Harold Kerzner's 'Project Management - A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling'. Or keep up with the latest by attending seminars and workshops at your local chapter of the PMI (Project Management Institute...).

Finally, keep in mind that there are situations in project management that are specific to the industry you are in and sometimes there is no right answer. But most other times, the knowledge in this book is extremely helpful. Overcome the fear of being caught with a book that has the word 'Idiot' in the title and exploit the knowledge that the book provides!

Moving forward.......2005-05-14

While this book is about using Microsofts Project 2003 Software it contains a wealth of information about leadership and business and street smarts of managing yourself. Many times in life we get so involved we "can't see the forest because of the trees". Boged down in details we lose sight of the big picture. Ron provides clarity that can help anyone move forward with laser like effeciency, if they want. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to live larger, and be more successful. Lee Holden

Everything is explained so that is easy to understand, even amusing sometimes. I think a book like this would be perfect for a beginning course on project management.

Good Starting Point.......2002-06-21

I have just started using this application and this book has turned me in to a confident user. All of my departments projects will now go on to Project 2000. Ron not only explains how to use Project, he also describes the principles behind them and the common problems that can occur while trying to run a project. He also explains the importance of "iced mochas and pistachios" and other necessities.
the book is well written, applicable and easy to read. Ron's Mum should be proud :)

Outstanding Reference!.......2001-05-20

I was just hoping to find a book on how to use MS Project 2000, but instead I found an excellent reference on project management that also teaches MS Project. That is the value of this book - it teaches good project management skills, and how MS Project can help you reach your goals. I especially recommend this to project management rookies.
