a must have reference.......2002-01-15

While nearly all SPSS versions now have pull-down windows, there are many times where you don't want to use the defaults and want to modify the pull-down options. This book includes syntax for all commands in SPSS Base for use on statistical procedures. There is an introduction that explains some of the common commands and then a comprehensive user's manual for the language alphabetized by main commands. There is also a subject index and a keyword index that is very helpful. While the examples in the book leave something to be desired, the book takes some of the fear out of creating syntax for novices. It is a much needed companion for students and experts alike. This book can be used with most SPSS versions.

Book Description

Quality management techniques can be used to lead project teams to success. An invaluable resource, as well as an entertaining read, The World's Greatest Project!, an updated and expanded version of Darnall's best-selling Achieving TQM on Projects, tells the fictional story of the successful application of quality techniques in three major projects.

Darnall's easygoing style allows him to present various points of view, to examine resistance and barriers to change, and also to remind you that fun is a viable project management tool.

A must for anyone studying Project Management.......1998-11-14

Book Description

In the aftermath of the 1910 Mexican Revolution, Mexican and U.S. political leaders, business executives, and ordinary citizens shaped modern Mexico by making industrial capitalism the key to upward mobility into the middle class, material prosperity, and a new form of democracy-consumer democracy. Julio Moreno describes how Mexico's industrial capitalism between 1920 and 1950 shaped the country's national identity, contributed to Mexico's emergence as a modern nation-state, and transformed U.S.-Mexican relations.

According to Moreno, government programs and incentives were central to legitimizing the postrevolutionary government as well as encouraging commercial growth. Moreover, Mexican nationalism and revolutionary rhetoric gave Mexicans the leverage to set the terms for U.S. businesses and diplomats anxious to court Mexico in the midst of the dual crises of the Great Depression and World War II. Diplomats like Nelson Rockefeller and corporations like Sears Roebuck achieved success by embracing Mexican culture in their marketing and diplomatic pitches, while those who disregarded Mexican traditions were slow to earn profits.

Moreno also reveals how the rapid growth of industrial capitalism, urban economic displacement, and unease caused by World War II and its aftermath unleashed feelings of spiritual and moral decay among Mexicans that led to an antimodernist backlash by the end of the 1940s.

A highly readable textbook with lots of diagrams.......2000-07-04

I am just learning to be a librarian and this book is the first I have read from my reading list. It sets out how to logically organise a library from start to finish. It sets out a lot of basic principals of management; different types of manager and management roles, why you need to do consumer research and check statistics, how to keep staff happy and improve communications. It is a huge exercise in stating the obvious, but somehow when you have it all displayed before you in charts and bullet points it is very comforting and you know that with this book beside you you'd make sure you were covering every aspect of best practice in the way you run your library. Its interesting to see how the county which employs me carries out almost all the recommendations to the letter.
