A Must Read for all Teachers.......2001-01-25

With the government's influence of teacher accountability, I would recommend reading any literature regarding the teaching profession! This IS A MUST READ! I gained so much knowledge from this little book, graciously given to us by Ms. Anderson! READ IT NOW! It is so practical for every day to day teaching routines!

Educational and emotional a book that kept me turning pages.......2007-10-18

When I purchased this book I did it in support and interest for my friend who is the author. When I began to read the pages I learned more about my friend and more about a new perspective on life than I had imagined. I found the book to be educational concerning two aspects of AIDS. First I learned about the disease and secondly I learned the effects that is has on the life of someone infected and those close to that person.

Randy & Joe's story really moved me and I am not the type of person who wears my emotions on my sleeve. The love, devotion and support that they have for one another makes me proud to be their friend.

I guess on the exterior you could say that I lead a different life from these two friends but what I found in this book has led me to feel a new connection with them as I feel we share the same values. I was able to identify with their unwavering love for spouse, family and support system of friends.

Due to these similarities in values I was able to forget about sexual preference and I was really able to identify with the story. It showed me that although being infected with AIDS or being sick could break someones spirit, that with the right support it really can make people stronger.

In conclusion I wanted to thank Randy for writing this book so I could have the priveledge of reading it. I would recommend it to anyone who needs some inspiration and guidance in what it means to be in a supportive relationship and to share unconditional love.

Thanks Randy,

The Wolfgang

Inspirational.......2007-08-13

Laugh, cry, and rage with this writer...I dare you to resist turning another page once you have started reading this book. What a gift to be able to write about one's personal tragedy with wit and sarcasm...an amazing inspiring memoir.

Spunk.......2007-08-03

I've had the pleasure of knowing and performing with Randy and his talented family for many years, and will testify to the fact that Randy has more SPUNK than Jack has Beanstalks.

Congratulations, Randy!

Realistic, emotional journey through love from despair to a new hope.......2007-07-26

In autobiographical style, the author starts with his childhood, growing up in a conservative Quaker family in a small Southern California town. He knew he was "different" than most of his peers early on, although he really didn't have a word for it (homosexual) until his early teens. Involvement in singing and acting in high school plays, followed by five years of touring with The Young Americans singing group, were just diversions that helped him not to deal with his sexual orientation, until he left the group at 21 and moved to Hollywood to explore a career in television production.

Randy knew that Joe was "the one" for him, the moment they met at a gay bar, when Randy was pushing 30. They moved in together immediately, had a commitment ceremony on their fifth anniversary, and were very happy ... until a routine insurance physical revealed that Randy had HIV, contracted before he met Joe. Thankfully, Joe remained negative.

The book takes you through the years following the 1988 diagnosis of being positive, to the first of many opportunistic infections Randy suffered, which marked its progress to full blown AIDS about five years later. The author deals with the realities of such a diagnosis that aren't often covered in such stories, including the financial uncertainties, the emotional and mental toll on the caregiving partner, all the while dealing with toxic medications that kept one alive, but at a great decrease in the quality of that life. The late 1990's saw the advent of protease inhibitors, new drugs that - while not a cure - gave patients such as Randy a new reason to hope. They work on rebuilding the lives that had been put on "hold" for the past decade, trying to establish a more enjoyable and successful career path for Joe than the one he left behind, and also to negotiate Randy's gradual return to the work force.

An emotional yet realistic journey from despair to a new hope, excellently written by a talented author. Much recommended. Five stars out of five.

Here Today, You'll Want to Read the Entire Book By Tomorrow.......2007-07-20

Here I am: a straight guy, happily married to my wife for 25 years with a wonderful 20 year old son. Why would I love reading this book? Because it is a well written, wryly funny, poignant love story with a very happy ending. At times achingly painful while describing the devastation that HIV/AIDS inflicts on its victims, it is also full of hope and inspiration. This book is a "must read" for anyone who provides health care to the HIV positive community or who has in any way been affected by the AIDS epidemic.

Book Description

This is an expanded edition of the author's "Multivariate Statistical Analysis." Twice as long, it includes all the material in that edition, but has a more extensive treatment of introductory methods, especially hypothesis testing, parameter estimation, and experimental design. It also introduces time series analysis, decision analysis, and more advanced probability topics (see the accompanying table of contents). It has been used as a textbook at the graduate level at over 300 leading universities, in over a dozen academic disciplines, including education, business, and the social and health sciences. Like its abridged edition, it has been acclaimed for its lucid treatment of difficult statistical concepts.

Customer Reviews:

A truly great book!!.......2006-07-12

I read this book even after 15 years since my Ph.D. data analysis course and thank my prof. everytime. It lays out the conceptual foundations of different analyses in a really neat way.

If only it would also come with the instructions for software such as SPSS!

Yo Baby, Sammy is Da' Hoochie Daddy.......2001-11-27

I just wish he would write a new book and focus it around SPSS. Although the book was published long ago, it is written to those struggling in their Multivariate classes. It is very clear and concise. I could have read this in high school and understood every word. The book is not focused on linear algebra or higher level mathematics. Instead, he provides a clear conceptual understanding of the major techniques. If you read this much, buy the book and read it. I guarentee that in no time you will be asking your prof questions that will boggle his or her mind and you will score you some brownie points. Further, after reading it you will love the subject and study stats naked. Even if you decide not to keep this as a desk reference, you can always sell it to another student and use the cash to buy some beer. After reading this review, I only ask that you write Dr. Sam and tell him to keep writing. Tell him that we will revoke his Visa if he doesn't. I love you SAM. Peace to the world. Long live Dallas, TX! This book helped me earn an A+ in advanced stats in the MBA that I am enrolled in.

Statistical Analysis by Kachigan.......2001-02-06

This book has an excellent treatment of the various statistical methodologies. It has an easy-to-read treatment of basic probability with a gradual introduction into conditional prob. The coverage of mean, variance, weighted mean and the standard deviation is good. I was impressed with the explanation of the z statistic and hypothesis testing. The author had a good rendition of regression and correlation in single, as well as, multiple models. The style of this work is a belles lettres

treatment-almost akin to reading a story. Despite the simplicity, there is enough complexity for the quantitatively oriented readers. I would like to see an update of this book with some cross-referencing to the internet and more modern terminology. Despite the fact that it is an older work, there are few books which explain the material with the clarity of this text. Its weaknesses may be overcome by utilizing the REA Statistics or the Schaum's outline. This book is excellent for students who find math hard to comprehend. It serves all levels of students from the most advanced to the students requiring more time with the material.

Afraid of Statistics? This book is for you!.......1997-09-27

This volume is an excellent introduction for someone who needs a conceptual understanding of statistics without the rigor or depth of a specialist. The presention is very non-technical with each new subject carefully developed. Ideal for the general business or social science undergraduate or anyone needing a brief and relatively painless encounter with a vital subject.

Perfect for businesses comtemplating SLM expenditures.......2002-11-11

It's interesting how networks, computer systems, and software applications have evolved towards the notion of information services. The industry is looking at information technology in terms of services provided for business operations, and that has caused interest in buying, deploying, and managing services instead of networks and applications.

This book is a buyer's guide into the numerous products that manage services in one way or the other. The first 50 pages are devoted to concepts in service level management, while the remaining 300 or so pages describe some 70 SLM solutions along several dimensions, including product functionality, distinguishing features, data sources, third-party product reliance, support for service-related standards, pricing/packaging, and strengths/weaknesses. I would think that readers would study the first 50 pages carefully and use the product description section as a reference. The 50 page overview is excellent, from both a technical and business point of view.

I almost gave the book four stars because it is inevitable that SLM vendors with change their products, some will go out of business, and new ones will come into play, and thus the book would become obsolete in relative short order. However, the very last page of the book promises a 2nd edition. A book of this sort should probably be updated annually.

Also, I almost gave the book 4 stars because it has no references to other sources. But section 2 refers to several SLM standards bodies and lists URLs, including ITIL, Telemanagement Forum, and IEFT.

There was just one thing about the book that puzzled me: In the table of contents, about a dozen of the 70 companies are in bold, and I couldn't figure out why. However, that problem wasn't worth taking off a star.

In sum, the book is perfect for businesses comtemplating SLM expenditures. I would expect to see it updated from time to time to keep up with the industry.

SLM Solutions: A Buyer's Guide - Review.......2002-10-24

The analysts at EMA have written a very clear guide to helping IT people prepare for, evaluate and compare, and implement an SLM solution. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a detailed discussion of the important facets of Service Level Management: what it is, all of the things that it encompasses, how to create and negotiate SLAs (Service Level Agreements), creating RFPs to evaluate SLM offerings, and some of the nitty-gritty around the actual measurements. The second part is a synopsis of the majority of commercial software products available for SLM. Each vendor gets a four or five page write-up that summarizes key features, the pricing model, expected support costs, and a brief EMA summary of the product and company, including strengths and limitations. If you need to implement an SLM solution, don't expect to find all of your questions answered just by looking at the product comparisons. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a wealth of information about how to evaluate solutions based on your specific environment and then how to write the RFP so that you will get the information to meet your specific needs. The one thing that is missing from the Vendor Briefs is any mention of open source software. In some cases, open source solutions my provide a better fit than COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) software products at a somewhat lower price point. Regardless of the direction chosen (commercial or open source), the information in "SLM Solutions: A Buyer's Guide" will provide the reader with important information about the whole SLM process.

SLM Solutions.......2002-10-22

Great resource for anyone trying to implement SLM. A must have
that lists (what seems like) every vendor's product with an honest
evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of each. Every IT professional should have a copy on his/her bookshelf.

Exhaustively researched and clearly presented material.......2002-10-07

This book is to service level management consultants and prospective buyers of SLM solutions what Hoover's handbooks are to business intelligence - a complete and comprehensive survey of SLM solutions from major and minor vendors.

The information in this book is divided between timeless reference material and time-sensitive information. The reference material is comprised of a thorough discussion of what service level management is, what is required to implement it, and the value and ROI that you should expect from both the processes and the tools. The reference part of the book also extends to how to effectively manage the selection and procurement process of a solution. This material is on the mark, is consistent with best practices in service level management, and is clearly written. In fact, after reading the author's earlier book, "Foundations of Service Level Management" (ISBN 0672317435) I expected the depth and detail in which the reference part of this book delved.

Time-sensitive material that comprises the second part of the book consists of a collection of vendor brief that are arranged alphabetically from Aligent Technologies to WiredMinds, Inc. Each brief is similar in format to Hoover's handbooks in that you are shown an 'At a Glance' view of the vendor (product/service offering, SLM solution, date founded, number of employees, target customer and operating requirements for the solution). This is followed for each vendor by a more detailed view that covers product details (functionality, distinguishing features, support and pricing). One nice touch here is that each product is also depicted in an architecture diagram. Each vendor brief concludes with a summary, strengths and limitations from Enterprise Management Associates' (the book's authors) viewpoint.

In addition to the material in the book the publisher's website contains a wealth of additional material, which augments this book and adds considerable value to it.

If I could change one thing about the book it would be the title, which should be renamed to "SLM Solutions: a buyer's guide - 2002 Edition", which subsequent editions appearing twice a year. Yes, the reference material is likely to remain the same, but the vendor information is in a constant state of flux and will render this excellent resource obsolete unless it's updated at least every six months.

Overall, this is an impressive compendium of information that reflects deep and exhaustive research and the authors' extensive knowledge of the subject.

Book Description

This book examines the consequences of periods of dearth in England in the years between 1550 and 1800. For this period serious harvest failure has been connected with a marked increase in the political activity of the ordinary people, and attention has been focused on food riots. In this concise survey for students, R.B. Outhwaite surveys the enormous volume of literature that has been generated on the subject, explores interconnections, and draws attention to problems still outstanding, paying particular attention to changes in government policy toward grain provisioning.

Having been a Human Resource Director for many years, I feel qualified to review Ms. Gust's book. It is very thorough, and covers everything you need to have a successful orientation. In a very organized and concise way Ms. Gust has arranged this book to be a tool for the employer to create a top notch orientation process. It puts together everything you need during an orientation process- all in one place. It is a "must have" reference for every Human Resource Department. In this day and age of continued recruitment and retention efforts for the best and the brightest the first impression (for a new employee) is critical. I applaud Ms. Gust for her stellar effort!!

I recently purchased this book. If you rely on this book for your ads and other marketing pieces, you won't do well.

This book has some good scripts for radio advertising but that'a about it. I thought about just throwing this book in the trash.

Feedback is a rare commodity in organizational life, but it is key to managerial effectiveness. One increasingly popular vehicle for getting feedback from one's boss, peers, and subordinates is the multiple-perspective, or 360-degree, feedback instrument. Use of such an instrument can enhance self-confidence by highlighting individual strengths and can facilitate greater self-awareness by pointing out areas in need of further development. Because of the availability of so many feedback instruments, finding the best instruments for an organization's needs is difficult. This book presents a step-by-step process that shows how to evaluate multiple-feedback instruments intended for management development. The steps take you through such issues as instrument development, validity and reliability, feedback display, scoring strategies, and cost.

A Very Compelling Two-Pronged Approach.......2003-10-08

Dr. Davis has compiled a very compelling two-pronged approach for evaluating business information technology. Being a model-based practitioner, I appreciated Dr. Davis starting each section with a proposed evaluation model and following the model with case study results. Dr. Davis correctly identified the need for several interlocking models to adequately broach information technology evaluation.

As a software testing professional, I was especially interested in the Balanced Scorecard measurement framework. It underscores the importance of complete, well written requirements for the success of all IT development projects. By strong implication, the Balanced Scorecard underscores the importance of thorough testing of requirements before any detailed software planning is begun. Also by strong implication, the Balanced Scorecard underscores the importance of testability of requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
