The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SSAT and ISEE exams is very different from getting straight A’s in school. We don't try to teach you everything there is to know about English and math–only what you'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SSAT & ISEE, we'll teach you how to think like the test writers and

·Solve analogy and synonym problems even when you’re not sure what all the words mean

·Crack the general math section by learning to avoid wrong answer choices that look correct
·Solve math problems by learning to turn complicated algebra problems into simple word problems

OMG THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!!!!!!.......2003-11-10

Wowers! I was taking the ISEE test for 9th grade and I was really nervous. It was only a week before the test. We ordered this book right away and I studied and praticed it every night until the test. It taught me everything and gave me lots of pratice tests right away! This is a genius invention! I got a wonderful score on the test and I know it was because of this book! And you don't have to spend a year before studying! I recommend this book to any - it will really really really really ( I don't know how many times I should say this) really helps! ;-)

SSAT 2005 by Peterson.......2005-08-28

This book is a good rendition on SSAT test preparation. Sample
diagnostic tests and exams are provided to assist candidates in
simulating live exam scenarios. The questions are topical and
current.

The candidate's strategy is as important as knowledge acquisition
of synonyms and analogies. For instance, all candidates will be
provided with paragraphs to read followed by interpretive questions. The proper test strategy is to read the questions first, review the paragraphs and attempt to answer the questions.
This form of reinforced learning will help to ensure the maximum score possible on paragraph reading/interpretation. Candidate schools will read the essay answers provided. Therefore; you should be prepared to provide a scholarly writing sample in response to standard essays on the exam.

A sample essay would be as follows:
- Write multiple paragraphs on " A Stitch in Time "
" Be Safe Rather Than Sorry "
"Trust but Verify "

Some uncomplementary reviews were written several years ago.
The 2005 version of the text differs substantially from previous
versions . My review of the 2005 version reflects important
changes in the thrust of the questions formulated for candidates
in the current examination cycle.

Book Description

By mid-1996, over 10,000 companies in the United States had achieved ISO registration-a staggering jump from the 100 registered at the end of 1991. Why the explosive growth? For many, ISO registration acts as proof that the company has an outstanding and continuously improving quality process. As registration continues to grow at a rate of more than 400 companies a month, it's clear that the ISO/QS phenomenon shows no sign of slowing down. To become ISO/QS-9000 registered, a company needs an effective plan. Because the average process can take 12 to 18 months, it's important to know exactly what steps need to be taken - from start to finish. And that's where this book comes in. Passing Your ISO 9000/QS-9000 Audit is a clearly written, step-by-step guide to passing the external audit and getting your company ISO/QS-9000 registered. Passing Your ISO 9000/QS-9000 Audit is ideal for "ISO champions" and "management representatives"-those individuals within a company charged with implementing the ISO/QS-9000 process-as well as corporate executives interested in knowing more about the program. Using this book as a guide, any ISO champion should be able to effectively prepare his or her company for successful ISO registration.

A breath of fresh air on a stale topic........1999-10-22

If you're going to read this book, be prepared. This is not a book of sports metaphors. This is not a ritualistic hosanna to the glory of teams. This is not "rah, rah, sis-boom-boaster, teams are the best thing since the wide-slot toaster."

In fact, Why Teams Don't Work is that rarest of beasts: a book of truths. Using language that is remarkably entertaining, honest, and brief, Robbins and Finley dissect the hackneyed assumptions about teams to explain why so many companies that switched to teams "have not been experiencing the organizational bliss they counted on." A simple matrix of fourteen team problems, symptoms, and solutions - one of the blessedly few diagrams in the book - sets the tone. Teams don't work because they're made up of people: people who don't communicate, people who are uncertain, people who lack feedback and tools, people who are (surprise!) reluctant to jump on a live grenade to save the team.

A recipe for pessimism? Not at all. The authors' antidote to "happy talk" team books emphasizes common sense recommendations.

* "Form teams only when they make sense."

* "Adapt your style to suit the needs of whoever you're communicating with."

* Since there are at least six ways to make a team decision, "the important thing is that the team decide, in advance, what decision making method will be used."

* "The more goals and objectives a team is handed, the worse their performance will be. If a task doesn't appear on the high priority, short-term goals/objectives list, the hell with it."

These may not sound like epiphanies, but they are ultimately more practical than rhapsodic cheerleading or abstruse four-box models. Robbins and Finley believe in teams because they do produce results - if you can avoid the pitfalls.

Why Teams Don't Work can be inconsistent. In their rejection of algorithms and hard-and-fast rules, the authors sometimes substitute pithy ideas and aphorisms for diagnostic tools or practical solutions. Nor do they offer revolutionary research that sets aside past thinkers; the book is peppered with quotations from the likes of Peter Senge, Wm. Edwards Deming, and B. W. "Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing" Tuckman. Nonetheless, Why Teams Don't Work makes for terrific reading: clear, realistic, and genuinely amusing. If you believe in magic and mantras and the panacea of teams, read something else. If you want to find the truth and enjoy yourself at the same time, read Why Teams Don't Work.

Book Description

Between Politics and Markets examines how the decline of central planning in post-Mao China was related to the rise of two markets--an economic market for the exchange of products and factors, and a political market for the diversion to private interests of state assets and authorities. Lin reveals their concurrent development through an account of how industrial firms competed their way out of the plan through exchange relations with one another and with state agents.

The Brave New World of Communications.......2002-10-07

The whole world of advertising, marketing, public relations is in a chaotic state. Old rules just don't apply. Lines, hard cut in the corporate and consumer landscape are blurring and for the first time in a century we find ourselves scrambling to define who we are and what we do.

I run a firm that provides tactical creative services to the corporate world. Don Middleberg's book makes one thing clear: This is a new millenium for any communications business. Any company that hopes to be heard above the din needs to understand the concepts illustrated in this book.

"Winning PR in the Wired World" sounds a bell... a wake up call.
Agile, smart, awake and aware companies can ride the wave or be left behind. Get this book.

Strong and Engaging.......2002-08-22

Middleberg's work is about using the Internet to achieve the communication goal of an organization. He hardly stands alone in writing about this area. The real trick to success lays in the techniques discussed and how applicable they are. While they're quite useful, I found Michael Levine's Guerrilla PR: Wired to be more effective.

That said, Middleberg's work has plenty of useful ideas. Given his reputation, though, I expected far more. It's a good book, but it fell a bit short of my expectations.

Letdown ... big letdown.......2002-02-27

I purchased this book because of Don Middleberg's good reputation in the PR field. Put simply, it would be an understatement to say that this book is terrible. Three main reasons for my drawing this conclusion: 1. outdated anecdotes and examples to illustrate ideas, 2. the thrust of the book (i.e., what value you get out of it when finished) is bland and generic at best, and 3. poor writing. Middleberg is definitely a successful PR professional but this book is a stinker for certain - and a big waste of money.

Outstanding.......2001-12-29

Don Middleberg has a winning book here. Having done internet pr and developed web sites, he has put into words many of the techinques learned from on-the-job training. Now as a college professor teaching communications, this is a must read for the students as it gives them a background on how the internet has changed the communications landscape.

One of the best books you could buy..........2001-12-28

There are so many books now about getting publicity, but this book gives fresh insight about how news travels and the best ways to share your news with the world. There are few books that I buy that I don't end up just skimming. I immediately read this book cover to cover. It's a gem.

Unfit as a college textbook.......2006-04-27

This book contains articles of opinion on the subject of te environment, but very little concrete information. What references are offered in the various articles are pieces of select information that only tells half of the story. Most of the articles have an obvious left-leaning political slant (a few are absolute extremists), and most express opinions as though they are facts. Although the articles are well written for the most part, this book should not be used as a college textbook since it only presents one side of the environmental issue- basically, humans are bad for the environment.

If you want facts, don't bother with this one.

Book Description

The management of the environment, whether locally, nationally or globally, is of crucial economic, social and scientific importance. Uncontrolled exploitation has led and will continue to lead to the irreversible loss of valued and unique resources, to human misery, and to costly natural disasters. Effective and safe intervention in natural processes requires, as this book vividly demonstrates, a depth of scientific knowledge and a wide range of social and technical skills.This book presents thirty-six key articles on environmental management. Arranged in six thematic parts, each individually introduced and with annotated sections of further reading, it provides a stimulating companion and general introduction to the field of environmental management.

Book Description

Computer Hardware Maintenance presents the full scope and understanding of how the PC hardware maintenance function should operate and be managed in an organization, including steps involved in containing costs, keeping records, and planning the integration of the help desk function.

In today's IS department too often the PC hardware maintenance function is treated as a 'necessary evil', with the understanding that eventually all equipment will have some degree of mechanical or electrical failure. This book discusses scenarios where keeping the maintenance function internal is most viable and where having it external, from a depot service, pickup and delivery, or on-site service, is most viable. Computer Hardware Maintenance concludes with brief descriptions of available third-party systems and how emerging trends in PC hardware configuration as proposed by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) will have a major impact on the PC hardware maintenance function in the future.
