This book was not as helpful as I expected........2007-05-31

This book was not as helpful as I expected.

Very helpful guide for the business school selection process.......2002-07-06

If you are certain that you have no interest in studying outside the U.S. or Canada, then this book provides a good amount of information on the business schools on which you will be focusing. It also provides a nice summary table of these schools as well as a short section dedicated to the GMAT exam. This is the perfect book if you need to narrow down or even just select the business schools in which you may be interested. It can be particularly useful in assuring you don't accidentally overlook a program for which you are well suited. The financial aid section is also pretty helpful. Beware that, if you are applying to a competitive business school, you will want to do additional research for your "Why I want to attend your business school" essay beyond what is covered in this book.

The better essays.......2006-03-17

This book helps you to get good personal essays for business school. If you are looking for a guide, it will be useful. However it takes lots of time to complete this book because it's not a small pocket book which you can finish in a couple of days because of many advices and themes

Quick and to the point.......2001-05-08

While not as good as Montauk's "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs," this book is much shorter (1/3 the size) and may be better if you're on a tight deadline. Found that the essays provided some good guidelines. Helped me get into UCLA, so it was definitely worth the read.

Perhaps useful to quell anxiety, but it's not the best..........2000-08-27

resource.

The point of writing the application essays is to emphasize your candidacy while presenting yourself as unique "fish" among the "school" of applicants. While the examples and critiques are mildly interesting, they don't do that much to help you be yourself.

A better, and more holistic analysis of positioning your entire application is presented in the Richard Montauk book, "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs."

If you're interested purely in the essay portion, the Harry Bauld "On Writing the College Application Essay" is much better because it adds a human (and humor) element to writing. (Don't be misled by the undergraduate flair: Harry Haggard and Sarah Bleary review B-school applications, too!)

Useless!.......2000-06-03

These essays are outdated, answer irrelevant questions and are entirely too long. They are good only to read and say - "I can do better than that." Besides, reading other people's essays is not as useful as a good book full of advice on which topics to cover and how to write. Save your money.

Excellent book to get you started!.......1999-04-13

As someone who works privately with students, helping them with admissions essays for MBA programs, I highly recommend this book. When students call me in regard to assistance with their essays, I recommend that they first buy this book as a means to get started. The guidelines and essays have helped my clients not only to gather their thoughts, but also to organize and write them into interesting and creative essays. By the time they come to me for feedback and editing, they are well along the way to getting into the MBA program of their choice.

Book Description

This new series of fifteen books - The Food Service Professional Guide TO Series from the editors of the Food Service Professional are the best and most comprehensive books for serious food service operators available today.

These step-by-step guides on a specific management subject range from finding a great site for your new restaurant to how to train your wait staff and literally everything in between. They are easy and fast -to-read, easy to understand and will take the mystery out of the subject. The information is "boiled down" to the essence. They are filled to the brim with up to date and pertinent information.

The books cover all the bases, providing clear explanations and helpful, specific information. All titles in the series include the phone numbers and web sites of all companies discussed. What you won't find are wordy explanations, tales of how someone did it better, or a scholarly lecture on the "theory". Think of them as "Cliff Notes TM" on the subject matter.

Every paragraph in each of the books are comprehensive, well researched, engrossing, and just plain fun-to-read, yet are packed with interesting ideas. You'll be using your highlighter a lot! The best part aside from the content is they are very moderately priced. You can also purchase the whole 15 book series the isbn number is 0-910627-26-6. You are bound to get a great new idea to try on every page if not out of every paragraph. Do not be put off by the low price, these books really do deliver the critical information and eye opening ideas you need you to succeed without the fluff so commonly found in more expensive books on the subject. Highly recommended!

What a great little book!.......2006-01-13

I wish I'd had something like this when I was working in the food service industry. This book, with brief bullet points that still manage to spell out the practical details as necessary, gives the seasoned restaurateur hundreds of tips on how to cut costs--everything from trimming energy expenses (run the water supply for your ice machine through the refrigerator or freezer to pre-cool it) [...] It seems like it would be very practical to copy pages out of the book and include them in your employee training packets or post them in the kitchen. I've found that the more employees understand the reasons behind your policies--and the big differences they make on profit margins and customer satisfaction--the more likely they are to follow them. The book has tips for all parts of the food service industry, from fast food to fine dining, and states the reasoning behind each tip in a way that would be easy to explain to others. The book is well written, clearly organized, and includes a helpful index. If you're looking for something specific, you should be able to find it in moments. I would recommend this to any food-service business looking to increase its profit margins and willing to do the planning and work necessary to make it happen. This is not a quick fix book (although quite a few of the tips would take little time or money to implement), but a thorough and honest guide on how to cut costs over the long run.

Great Book.......2002-10-12

Great Book! I Found These step-by-step guides easy-to-read, and easy to understand! The books are packed with information. They reminded me of "cliff Notes" from my college days.The information is comprehensive without the fluff you find in so many of the more expensive books out there on the subject. The books are also packed with resources such as phone numbers and the web sites of the companies they are discussing - there is no "theory" just great information.

Excellent companion for Statistics Text.......2000-04-14

I found this book to be an excellent companion to my college statistics text. If you're taking either a statistics, research or experimental social science course that requires the use of SPSS, this book is for you. I have the student version of SPSS which has a lot of online tutorials and help sections, but comes with very little hard copy documentation. This book helped me become more comfortable with using SPSS. The book is designed to be worked thru using the exercises and disk that's included. The explanations are easy to understand and the examples add to your understanding. The layout of the book makes it easy on the eyes, which is a real plus if you're working with statistics. I only wish I had this book before I took my first statistics class!

Clear, concise, thorough, practical.......1999-03-01

If your goal is to develop a solid understanding of statistics and their application, then this is one book you will want to have in your library. It is clearly written, yet concise. It thoroughly covers the contents of a first course in graduate level statistics, using real data contained on the enclosed diskette and SPSS 8.0. Included are step-by-step descriptions of each statistical technique in enough detail to understand the purpose and application of each, followed by how to use SPSS 8.0 to apply the statistical technique.

Don't buy a statistics book that doesn't cover the use of a contemporary statistics software package. This subject is valuable only if you know how to apply it, and Marija Norusis shows you how to do so.

I also bought Green, Salkind, and Akey at the same time. It's much more obtuse than Norusis, but does describe how to write up results in APA format. For that purpose alone, it's a valuable complement to Norusis. However, if you only want to buy one statistics book, buy Norusis!

Go nowhere else for SPSS statistics !!.......1998-12-15

Save your money! This is the only book you need to buy! This book serves three purposes very well: (1) It provides good introduction to statistics (descriptive and inferential); (2) Shows every step in SPSS - including graphs and plots; (3) Full of exercises - including fill-in the blanks and analyse-yourself (disk included). I've tried "Using Spss for Windows : Analyzing and Understanding Data" by Samuel B. Green before, which is fine but terse. Green's book is a must buy if you're interested in how to prepare APA results. Once again, Marja J. Norusis' is the only book you need!

Book Description

Ron English is a culture jammer and well-known pop painter. A seminal figure in the subvertising, or culture jamming movement, in which artists and activists subvert an existing advertisement to send out their own message or encourage free thought, English has pirated over a thousand billboards over the last twenty years, replacing existing advertisements with his own hand-painted ""subvertisements."" His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, from Japan to Europe to the former Soviet Union; and included in prominent collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York. Ron has designed murals for the Guggenheim Children's Fund and created an anti-drug campaign for the United Nations' International Drug Control Program in Kazakhstan. His art has been featured in such feature films as Breakfast of Champions and Basketcase II. This year, his art will be featured on the cover of the new release by The Dandy Warhols.

Gotta love the art "terrorist".......2007-05-13

As an old 60s hippy, I can really appreciate this guy for his nonconformity and attacks on corporate propaganda. He's not only a talented artist, he's brilliant and not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. If more of us would stand up we could make a difference in our world. Do yourselves a favor and give this guy a look. There is also a DVD available that's very entertaining and insightful.

English speaks my language.......2002-02-06

This glossy, colorful book collects Ron English's great works and accomplishments, spanning his 20 years of using and twisting pop art to subvert itself, popular culture, and commercialistic overkill. Although a painter, street artist, and musician, English is best known for his hilarious - and sometimes dangerous - billboard work, whereby he would covertly paint over hundreds of billboards to convey an ironic, social point, sometimes done so well that the original doesn't appear altered. One of his thoughtful pranks was to paint a close-up of Charles Manson in the style of Mac's "Think Different" ads, to point out Mac's tasteless use of geniuses and great humanitarians to sell their products. Big Tobacco is another common victim of English's talent and wit, and his Joe Camel spoofs are more effective and affective than any government-funded anti-tobacco advertisement.

Ron English's work successfully addresses the Disneyification of America, the blatant commercialism of pop art, the uncontested corporate (and irresponsible) intrusion into people's lives, and the nonstop barrage of advertising that forces itself upon us everywhere we turn. His works throw a stick into the cogs, jamming popular culture for just a moment, so that for the split second you take in his work, you can actually "think different."

A VISUAL EXTRAVAGANZA.I COULDN'T BELEIVE HOW MANY WAYS RON ENGLISH CAN SCREW WITH YOUR HEAD. A GREAT BOOK

A golden opportunity!!.......2001-08-15

Ron English is masterfully twisted. I own four original pieces of his work which are the gems of my art collection. His work reminds me of Salvadore Dali's work with more raw talent added. You will enjoy this book.

Brava Popaganda!.......2001-08-12

Having been a protege of Ron English during the early years of his career, I am thrilled to read a comprehensive telling of his accomplishments. From his early surealistic photography tableau to illegal billboards to his brilliant current work, Ron English's art always puts his message in your face. Ron English is the ringmaster of a circus of eager zealots who will do practically anything to participate in his creative events. It is a fascinating phenomenon to observe - and even more inspiring to participate! Well written and researched, this volume gives insight into the artist's personal and creative processes. The extensive visuals and photos help tell the story of a great artist's career. Where will Ron English go from here? You should definitely tune in to find out more.
