Book Description

Foreword by Joy Dryfoos

"The title says it well. This practical work offers a guiding framework for evaluating a school-linked services’ initiative, delineates specific steps, and includes a host of useful tools that have been field tested. Anyone planning such an evaluation will find this a major resource aid."
Howard Adelman, School Mental Health Project
Center for Mental Health in the Schools, UCLA
Los Angeles, CA

"A very good resource for those in collaborative services who are new to evaluation. The authors break down the sometimes complex and intimidating process of evaluation into manageable action steps, and show how evaluation can be used to both improve accountability and foster organizational learning."
Karen Horsch, Research Associate
Harvard Family Research Project
Cambridge, MA

Specific evaluation instruments you can start using now!

Do collaborative services between schools and community service agencies really work? What are realistic goals, and how can they be achieved? The pressure to build and use reliable tools to assess collaborative services is growing, but there’s no reason to ‘start from scratch’ when creating the processes and procedures you need. Here are time-tested instruments you need to evaluate the success of collaborative services, already developed and in use in large and small communities – and presented in a format that your school and district can immediately adapt and put into practice.

Subjects include:

Monitoring and gathering outcome data
Assessing student risk
Assessing program implementation and customer satisfaction
Assessing program results using qualitative and quantitative data

... as well as specific surveys for elementary, middle, and high schools, surveys for parents at different levels, examples of data collection formats, and much more. It’s the comprehensive resource you need ... ready for you to use right now!

We're on the verge of ubiquitous connectivity, says technowizard Alex Lightman. His Brave New Unwired World: The Digital Big Bang and the Infinite Internet might read like science fiction, but smart money is betting on his predictions of wearable computing devices and cheap-as-water wireless bandwidth coming true. Even those who don't stand to make a gigabuck or two off fourth-generation wireless tech will race through Lightman's prose with abandon. He makes the future sound fun. While he can't promise personal jetpacks, his descriptions of simple, elegant communicators will make every red-blooded nerd drool.

Brave New Unwired World is more than just next year's Sharper Image catalog, though. Lightman has been watching trends in commerce, government, and technical research, and points out things to watch for in the first decade of the 21st century. American dollars, European regulators, and Asian factories, he predicts, will combine to change the world yet again. It's a fair bet that Aldous Huxley didn't see Brave New Unwired World coming, but we can be thankful that Dr. Lightman did. --Rob Lightner

Book Description

A whirlwind tour through the exciting landscape opening up around digital wireless communication
In The Brave New Unwired World, the CEO of one of today's hottest wireless businesses explores the latest thinking and trends in the exciting world of digital wireless communication and boldly predicts the future of this hot new field. He acquaints readers with the amazing technologies involved and the no less amazing profit opportunities opening up around them. Drawing upon his unique access to top management at Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, Verizon, IBM, Cisco, Psion, Microsoft, and other key players, he profiles those who are vying to be among the first to cash in on the wireless revolution while holding their own against brilliant upstarts, government regulation, and the threat of extinction by competitors who appear from virtually nowhere, at any moment.

A compass for wireless business and investment.......2003-10-11

A thouroughly researched, detailed book on what direction wireless and ubiquitous computing are going in. There may be those who shake their heads at how much these new sensors/appliances/gadgets will influence our lives, but the book lays out the data and trends methodically. This is must reading for any manager of a high-tech company or anyone investing in same. The book is highly unusual in its level of illustration, examples and background data -- many other books on future technology, in contrast, offer only oceans of opinionated verbiage with little to back it up. Any reader alert to opportunity should get a very high ROI out of buying this book.

Great material but a disjointed presentation.......2003-06-29

Brave New Unwired World addresses an exciting genre, personal wireless systems. The book also brings up and discusses many of the latest technologies in mobile computing.

Where this book falls short is it's presentation of more complex areas of mobile computing. Instead of building up to deeper issues with background and supporting information, there are spikes of depth. Specifically, terms and concepts will be brought up with little or no supporting background. And just as suddenly the depth will be abandoned, jumping to a new point at a low level. This makes for a very disjointed presentation.

If this were the only work in the field I would rate it higher. However there are similar works that are far superior (ex. Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution by Howard Rheingold) and cover the same subject matter.

See the future, and its business opportunities.......2002-05-12

A must for senior executives and policy makers around the world: Pervasive computing unobtrusively built into clothes, appliances, accessories--all connected wirelessly, using new technologies most of us don't know is already on the drawing boards. It's hard to imagine for most of us, but as the authors point out, the first 30,000 or so people who "get it" will be the ones who make the money. One of the most techically-grounded, insightful and credible visions of the future I've read.

Very timely.......2002-05-03

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in knowing
where the future of wireless communications will go.

The book touches on many of the important topics of our time,
including pervasive computing (ubiqcomp) and wearable computing.
Indeed, much of the future demand for wireless communication
will come from digital eyeglasses (computer vision systems
built into eyeglasses, visual prosthetics, Global eHealth, etc.).

For teaching courses related to or using wireless communiction,
even if this book is not being used as the main text,
I would highly recommend the book as additional optional reading.

This book is a must have for anyone interested in the future.......2002-04-04

The authors have done a brilliant job on exploring the fringes of wireless technology research and showing how these are going to become the next generations of mainstream products. How they are going to change all of our lives.
It's rare to see this kind of information discussed publicly instead of behind the closed doors of some corporate R&D Lab with everyone under NDA.

From the supplier: More organizations are relying on teams for success. Most teams are cross-functional, deriving strength from the various functions within the organization. Team performance depends on two major factors, namely, performance and process. Team leadership addresses team performance, while team facilitation tackles team process. Team leaders and facilitators ensure that team meetings are significant and productive.

Developing a Successful Advertising Plan.......2001-01-25

This book is an eloquent statement of how you must communicate to overcome the clutter and confusion in your reader's mind. The authors make a strong point: Pick out something unique that matches the needs of some customers and differentiates you from the competition, and keep repeating your message. Do not dilute your message or broaden your positioning. I have seen many of my clients waste hundreds of millions of dollars by failing to heed these lessons, and I was delighted when I first read this book so that I could refer my clients to it. Read this book, use its lessons, and you will vastly increase your influence. In my own work, I find that 'stalled' thinking that delays organizational progress is normally influenced by poor communications. Some of the other stalls are tradition, disbelief, bureaucracy, procrastination, unattractiveness, and misconceptions. Learn your challenge your thinking habits in these areas, and you can have twenty times as much or the same results 20 times faster.

FACTS the Insurance Agents Hope you NEVER KNOW.......2007-10-01

After readying this you will see the MOTIVATION for the Agents selling this line of BS, it will take most of you over 20 years to have any type of REAL NET return on your Life Insurance Policy. Want the TRUTH talk to an unbiased ACTUARY not a saleperson making a fortune off of your home equity. I am telling you when people finally realize what is taking place lawsuits will start to fly, IMO.

When did the Life Insurance Agent become a charitable organization?

Anyone who is believing this so called NEW way of thinking is either really bad with math or simply does NOT understand Life Insurance. There is a REASON you don't see REAL professionals using this concept they KNOW the TRUTH!!!

What is the ROI on my home Equity? MORE THAN ANY LIFE POLICY!!!!

After you learn how to subtract out all the commissions and fees, then the REAL cost of the death benefit, loan fees for your house loan fees for the life policy let's sit down and compare which approach works best. Having my house free and clear with NO COMMISSIONS to pay, no loans, and no INCREASING internal costs for the life insurance will BEAT any Life Policy I GUARANTEE IT!

Here is a shocker to reality. If you bought into this BS and mortgaged your house and placed the money into a life policy order a current statement for your policy showing the SURRENDER CASH VALUE in the first year, HOW MUCH did you LOSE? Then look at the 5th year how much have you LOST? Tenth year? Do the REAL MATH find out the REAL FACTS.

LIFE INSURANCE is one of the HIGHEST commissioned products in the financial industry FACT! Where do you think that money comes from, YOUR POCKET.

Here is a little KNOWN FACT there are currently MANY so called experts out there today TRAINING for a large fee many other life insurance agents how to SELL LARGE COMMISSIONED life insurance policies. They don't care if you need a policy or NOT they only care about SELLING a policy. Check the facts. Some are even paying for cruises for Seniors then encouraging them to apply for insurance. IT IS HIGHLY PROFITABLE to someone BUT NOT YOU the policyholder.

You will see many lawsuits in the coming years from these abuses when the you know what finally hits the fan.

By the way did you know that it was illegal for you stock broker to encourage you to take out a mortgage to buy a REAL INVESTMENT? It should also be illegal for Insurance Agents but it's not, well not YET, time will tell.

Where is Elliot Spritzer when you need him?

I wish more people would ask the harder questions before believing this new line of BS.

FACTS The INSURANCE AGENT want to hide from you: Insurance agents make about a 30-50% commission on term life insurance and around 90-95% commission on whole life products. Keep in mind that this is the first year commission on the premium and subsequent year commissions are much lower with an average of 6% per year for whole life products and 4% per year on term life insurance products.

One of the great problems with whole life is only an expert can tell if a policy you own or are considering will ever become a decent investment. James Hunt, actuary for the Consumer Federation of America, who has analyzed thousands of policies, notes that whole life policies hardly ever yield a reasonable return unless held for 20 years or more.
So if you buy one be prepared to pay into it for the very long haul.
The key to a whole life policy is its internal rate of return -- the yield on the policy after all fees and charges are subtracted. A competent analysis can determine at a minimum whether the weight of the fees and charges built into one of these policies will ever allow a worthwhile return. Such an analysis will also pinpoint the minimum amount of cash value that you can derive from a policy at any given time interval.
Some financial planners, actuaries and accountants can perform internal rate of return analysis on your policy. The Consumer Federation has a service that will do this, calculating the real return year by year and comparing it with other investments. The fee is $50 for the first policy, $35 for each additional. Call 603-224-2805 for more information.

Get Your Fortune Back.......2007-09-17

This is an excellent book with many examples of how changing your money management and especially you equity management strategy will result in greater wealth and safety in investing for you. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the author belabors several points and essentially is just repeating the same material over and over. Other than that, the ideas and strategies are well worth looking at and the authors heart is in the right place.

Good read but be wary........2007-09-04

Like many of the other reviews, I agree the concept is interesting and makes sense for very specific cases. I would be causious of thinking this is for everyone who owns a home.

The concept in general is simple, which I like. If you can explain it to a 12 year old then I think you have a good grasp of the idea. Doug does a good job of breaking it down so that most of us can easily understand and probably explain it to a 12 year old. Applying it over the long term is something entirely different. In California most people do refinance or sell every 5 so years. This concept at least tells them to focus on saving rather than spending it, something that most Americans do not do well.

I would recommend reading it and understanding it but talking to several advisors and other people who have experience with this before acting.

Although not for everyone, you would be remiss if you didn't learn the strategies........2007-07-25

Much has already been said - to which I endorse this book's overwhelming ability to change the way you think. With that I also caution the need for clarity and focus in the execution of these strategies. I have been fortunate to meet with Doug and had him explain these strategies personally. Although these strategies could benefit everyone, not everyone is the same and thus differing results are inevitable. After having read this book, I not only implemented these strategies myself, but have integrated them into my professional practice and have clients grateful for the insights. To reiterate, these strategies are not for everyone. If you read the book I think it becomes self evident who it is not appropriate for, but may I allude to them as those who feel "equity is for consumption and not conservation".

Investment version of War & Peace.......2007-05-14

Very thorough with a tremendous amount of information and investment concepts. I read it in 3 1/2 days and have re-read several chapters.

Actually change the way I work.......1998-10-23

While ALL CHANGE!/The Project Manager's Secret Handbook has a great series of steps for properly managing your projects (it takes up the reverse half of the book), Obeng's focus is on helping you get the right thinking on your project. No easy answers like in most management books, but ways to approach projects and manage them to a successful completion.

The first half, ALL CHANGE!, is actually a narrative about a project manager coming to understand why his projects always seem to go wrong.
