Customer Reviews:

If you teach computer science, get this book.......2001-04-11

"Computer Science Project Work: Principles and Pragmatics" has the three hallmarks of a classic: it is passionate, well-researched, and well-written. It is passionate about educating new software developers, designers, and analysts wisely and humanely. It is full of real information--the authors collected data on hundreds of real group projects and pedagogical best practices. It is written without ostentation or obfuscation--it is as clear as water. I wish I'd had this book from the beginning of my teaching career.

Book Description

This text successfully integrates statistics and research methods, by placing statistics in the context of research to help students grasp both topics more clearly. Discussions include all major descriptive and experimental methods, as well as primary and secondary statistical procedures.

Certain chapters include a new section, APA Format for Statistical Notation, to help students report findings according to APA guidelines. Pedagogy includes restructured chapter-opening learning goals, a new end-of-chapter Review Questions section, and an increased number of Practice Problems.

It serves the purpose........2003-04-08

In the past I have been quite critical regarding the quality of this book. I had found it tedious, overly descriptive, and lacking of significant examples.
In the meanwhile I have been using this book consistently because I needed information and verifications regarding the design of a challenging study. Well, I had to change my mind regarding my doubts and skepticism, and now I feel that I must vote in favor of the book.
Research is not exactly a walk on the beach, and this is certainly not a "beach" book. Research requires lots of patience, and very systematic people willing to devote much of their time for the sake of science. This book should be approached in a similar fashion, and with the intent and will to learn. If the reader establishes such a relation with this textbook, she/he will find most of her/his questions answered.
Aside the above praises, the author should consider to add practical examples to theory. This suggestion could be of great help to students willing to stay focused on a stimulating problem, and without ending up lost somewhere in the middle of the path.

Understanding Research Methods and Statistics.......2000-11-14

I never thought that I would understand statistics, but this book proved me wrong! The explanations were very detailed and tailored for people who have not previously taken a statistics course. I highly recommend this book, especially for those in the psychology field...

overkill.......2000-02-14

The material is good, but the author get to involved to soon in the text. It is a must to sort through what information you need and the excess! I do not think that this is a good text for a student new to statistics. Examples are poor and brief.

A reference not a how to book.......2001-08-15

This book is more of a reference book rather than what the title implies. It contains a lot of text on subjects other than implementation including background of the standard series and devlopment(36 pages),comparison of the ISO 14001 standard to other standards (75 pages), text of the standard and reference to other 14000 standards (38 pages). The remaining text on executing ISO 14001 (94 pages) is wordy and does not offer a clear cut method to implementation. This is not a how to book but rather a collection of some experiences.

Book Description

This book goes behind the success story of the Federal Republic of Germany since the Second World War to examine the principles underpinning the so-called 'economic miracle'. West Germany's Economics Minister, Ludwig Erhard, maintained that his Social Market Economy worked because it consisted of sound economic principles applied with common sense and consistency. It was a serious attempt to harness the dynamic forces of free-market competition while avoiding the damaging social problems created by unfettered laissez-faire. A. J. Nicholls examines the intellectual origins and history of the concept of the Social Market Economy, and its implementation in the difficult years of post-war devastation and recovery in West Germany. He traces the struggle of liberal economists to assert their ideas in the unfavourable circumstances from 1933 to 1948, when they triumphed with Erhard's implementation of a policy of liberalization following currency reform. The book analyses the extent to which West Germany's economic success was due to Erhard's policies, and assesses his attempts to attain the goals of the social market up to 1963, when he became Federal Chancellor. The Social Market Economy remains the official policy of the Federal Republic today, and must face up to new challenges in the former German Democratic Republic. A. J. Nicholls's study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the historical dynamics of the German economy and the political culture of the Federal Republic.

Whether you've already written your masterpiece and feel it's award worthy or you just can't seem to find the time or place to get those words on paper, Diane Billot's Money for Writers is invaluable. Billot lists hundreds of writing grants, contests, prizes, and such, from the Senior Poet Laureate Competition's $50 prize (plus publication and chapbook) for a U.S. poet over the age of 50 to the $250,000 awards in Health Policy Research. In addition to the more commonplace categories, there is money to be had for writing about cats ($500) and dogs (two awards, one for $500, the other for $2,450), biblical position papers on current world issues ($10,000), and stories about bowling ($3,800). Many of the prizes are regional--there are at least 10 prizes for Texans alone. Billot also includes sections on Internet sites, conferences, organizations, and books for writers. --Jane Steinberg

A "short list".......2003-06-23

I found "Money for Writers" extremely helpful. It lists hundreds of grants and awards with small snippets as to what they fund -- i.e poetry, fiction, drama, etc. The purpose of Ms. Billot's book is to provide writers with a consise listing to contact for more information, it is NOT a listing of federal grants, or what is known online as "free money". If you are looking for specific details ... merely type "grant money" in your browser search box.

As to some of her entries no longer existing, Money for Writers' copyright is 1996, and 1997... 6 and 7 years ago. Take a look thru WRITER'S MARKET 2003, or POETRY MARKET 2003. Find a trade journal and join or write to them.... do a search for an award, etc you're interested in -- find their dotcom; whatever you can think of. But Money for Writers is not a detailed guide.

That would be the federal government, or private funding sources. Try Grant Seeker Pro's site. Or the Guru of Grants, Mathew Lesko. [I must warn you however, that Lesko's book is 800 pages long]

Anyway, I have been writing FOR YEARS, and found "Money for Writers" very helpful. Just take what you find in it's pages as a "short list" that you need to investigate and follow up on.

Hang in there, and good luck, I know what a writer's life is like.

Terrible.......2000-09-10

I was excited when I received this book, but my interest soon turned into anger. What a rip off. There's little information about the grants and awards, and worse yet, I found....by doing some research which the author certainly didn't do....that some of the awards no longer exist! Pity the poor writer who uses this book as a reference. Terrible.

Terrible Book.......2000-01-03

As a professional journalist, let me describe this book as economically as I can. It sucks. I was fooled by the title. It is a book that the author could have had compiled by an intern. I would be surprised if she spent more than 45 minutes of her own time on it. It is nothing more than a list of available grants, with names and addresses of the sponsoring organizations. No information about the award. What good is a book like this without giving a few paragraphs about the criteria for each award, or a few examples of recent winners. Arghhh! It pains me to think of the editing and severe scrutiny I have endured by editors, while this piece of crud made it onto the shelves. Who does the author know?

Great resource for rookies.......1998-09-15

This book opens up some opportunities for people like myself. That is, someone who loves writing but has no experience with it. Without this book I would have no idea that there are actually things I can do with my work. Besides file it and read it to friends and family. But I do feel the book lacks some important content when dealing with organizations. And maybe some more ideas on presentation and subject are needed.

extremely limited use for serious writers.......1998-04-28

I was excited when I ordered "Money for Writers" in mid-1997. I've been freelancing full time for 17 years and I thought I might be able to land a grant or project that would let me concentrate on a "from the heart" project. No such luck -- the info in "Money for Writers" is profoundly disappointing. Billot doesn't provide enough info about the listed grants and fellowshops for serious writers to be able to make smart decisions about whether it's worthwhile to apply. Introductory chapters provide no helpful advice on successfully applying. Worst of all, when I returned the book, Billot ignored my request for my money back...it wasn't until several writers from the American Society of Journalists and Authors started clamoring together for refunds that any were forthcoming. Overall, a great idea torpedoed by its execution.

Book Description

This book questions the naïve, self interested and popularized messages that surround knowledge work and knowledge management. Case studies highlight the politics of new communications technologies which are frequently offered as a means for managing knowledge in the workplace.
