Solving Workplace Conflicts.......2006-01-25

"Montgomery and Cook conducted a survey that asked the question, "What are the common causes of workplace conflict in libraries?" From the results of the study, as well as formal and informal observations, they developed 17 scenarios of library workplace conflict and effective ways to manage them. Administrators, directors, managers, and supervisors should find valuable information in these library-specific examples." (summary by South Texas Library System)
I like section three where it gives additional tools including:
*Developing Emotional Intelligence
*Planning For, not Denial of Workplace Conflict
*Examining Your Organizational Culture
*Leadership: So Much more than Management

Book Description

This volume identifies the similarities and differences in the processes of formation and evolution of all planets in the solar system. By comparing common processes and features of the planets, including Earth, we are better able to understand Earth as a planet, and the evolutionary processes that have led to its present state. As a result of these studies, we will acquire a better understanding of other planets, such as Venus and Mars. The results can then be iterated to achieve a common consensus. The prediction of future evolution is a definite ultimate goal. Also recommended as a reference source for graduate students in the planetary sciences who are interested in comparative studies of the planets.

Book Description

Denmark Wheeler had it all: a gorgeous wife, Sierra, whom he passionately loved, and a respectable job that allowed him to keep her living in the style to which she was accustomed. The good life wasn’t handed to him on a silver platter, though. Growing up in the Cleveland ghetto, his father was shot by a drug addict, he worked the streets to help his sister through college, and he made his fair share of enemies along the way.

Yet not even his tough upbringing prepared him for the mysterious DVD that showed up on his doorstep, its contents revealing an explicit sexual encounter between his wife and another man, whose face was purposely blurred. Sierra’s betrayal is heart wrenching, and Denmark’s on the warpath to find out the identity of the man behind it. One thing’s sure: It’s someone close to him.

Suddenly everyone is suspect, especially his two best buddies, and he’ll stop at nothing to exact his revenge–even if it means sleeping with their wives to get it. But when Denmark takes justice into his own hands, he discovers a truth even more shocking than his wife’s infidelity. . . .

In this gritty revenge tale, Freddie Lee Johnson III takes us into the mind of a man consumed with grief and rage. Full of jump-off-the-page characters and fast-paced drama, Other Men’s Wives is an explosive ride fueled by love, lust, and deceit.

This book became hard to catch my attention. I had to finish this book in three days just so I wouldn't endure the pain of constantly reading it on and off for weeks. The story had potential, but it wasn't hard to tell that the writer didn't exactly know what to do with it. It was like watching an all-star casted movie go down the drain because the plot wasn't strong enough to make sense. The book title catches attention. The previewed discription is what sells the book. But the read itself is what kills it. Lets see where he went wrong here. EVERYWHERE! First off, the story took too damn long to get to the point. By the time it did get to the point, it became uninteresting and rushed. There are too many details that didn't need to be mentioned and too many characters that really didn't need to be known. It became too hard to focus on the pages because for a while, the story didn't go anywhere. I'm sorry but this book was a dead end for me. And it definitely killed any future book purchases for this writer.

Like Watching a Train Wreck.......2007-02-21

This book does a good job of merging a good story, with urban grit and a tad bit of erotica. Very well written. Although you know destruction is coming, you have to keep reading to figure out what happens. The first few chapters are rather "sing-song" and predictable. However, if you can make it through you will be pleased. Quick and easy read.

Interesting.......2007-01-02

I found this book to be average overall. It didnt really grab me. I thought the plot and the story were good but thats about it.

Revenge is Bittersweet.......2006-12-23

In this suspenseful novel, Freddie Lee Johnson III takes readers into the lives of a seemingly happily married couple. All is not as it seems as adultery and revenge soon rear their ugly heads.

Other Men's Wives was a little slow in the beginning, but as the drama increased, so did the pace of the book. It will keep readers attention until the very end.

Book Description

A rare, fascinating personality emerges in Donald B. Cole's biography of Amos Kendall, the reputed intellectual engine behind Andrew Jackson's administration and an influential figure in the transformation of young America from an agrarian republic to a capitalist democracy. After helping Jackson win the election of 1828, Kendall became the president's chief advisor—speech writer, postmaster general, and author of the famous veto of the bill to recharter the Bank of the United States. Born on a small Massachusetts farm and educated at Dartmouth, Kendall moved to Kentucky as a young man to seek his fortune and eventually became one of the very few nationally prominent antebellum politicians who successfully combined northern origins and southern experience.

Kendall's role in democratizing American politics is shown in a compelling narrative of his evolution from a republican idealist to a democratic individualist who contributed greatly to the rise of the Democratic party. His innovative campaign techniques and direct appeals to ordinary voters helped attract Americans to the polls; yet Kendall, like many of his contemporaries, also had a limited egalitarian vision that excluded the participation of women, African Americans, and Native Indians. In that sense, Cole demonstrates, Kendall was a man of his time, an era of unprecedented transformations in politics, economics, and technology.

Unforgettable in appearance and manner—a gaunt, white-haired, reclusive hypochondriac—Kendall inspired mystery as well as awe in admirers and enemies. He exemplified the American self-made man in his rise from a struggling jack-of-all-trades to a wealthy Washingtonian. His story also offers a fresh look at important elements of the antebellum communications revolution: he was deeply involved in the expansion of the post office and in the rise of the telegraph, and as a philanthropist he founded the school for the deaf that became Gallaudet College. The first biography of Kendall, this superbly written and researched volume unfolds the rise of American democracy and the culture that created it.

Well researched with extensive Hosey family trees, copies of documents, historical photographs and descriptive stories as told to the author by the actual people involved. Darrell Hosey did an excellent job representing the Hosey families of Alabama.
I highly recommend this book!

HOSEY FAMILY OF ALABAMA.......2002-11-16

The version of Hosey Family of Alabama that I read has a lovely soft cover with a photo of some of the ancestors. Darrell Hosey has done an excellent job and put out a lot of hard work on his research and compilation of valuable information for anyone interested in the Hosey Family of Alabama. The book includes many photographs and also has stories told in a very descriptive way by the people that experienced life in Alabama in their era. I found myself engulfed in the stories, especially the one about the annual Halloween party at Gantts Quarry School. I also lived through one of those famous parties when I attended Gantts Quarry School! Whether or not you are a Hosey or associated with the Hosey family, I highly recommend this book and am in a position to highly recommend the author, Darrell Hosey.

Book Description

Winds of change have turned us in search of basic values. The time has come for someone to nudge us back in the direction of being what we always were-the most caring nation in the history of the world.

Since United States Senator Ted Moss was born in 1911, everything has changed, yet nothing has changed. We still spend most of our time hunting and gathering. Only the pace has changed. Amid the chaos, Ted found a constant north star in the ever-changing night sky that guided him through thirty-six years of public service.

This fascinating book reveals the sense of joy that guided him as a scholar, husband, father, judge, county attorney, watermaster, naturalist, explorer, legislator, politician, and patriarch.

Book Description

Sheila Siddle's life was changed forever one fateful day in 1983 when a local game ranger brought a battered, malnourished chimpanzee to the door of her cattle ranch in central Zambia and asked her to do whatever possible to save it. As Sheila and her husband nursed it back to health, they treated the young chimp they would name Pal as if he were a human infant -- feeding him medicine and bottled milk, sharing their bed with him at night, and carrying him on their backs until he regained the strength to survive on his own. From these humble beginnings Sheila and David Siddle would go on to launch the Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage, an internationally acclaimed animal refuge that has grown to become the home for more than eighty chimps, one disarmingly domesticated hippopotamus named Billy, and a variety of other endangered animals. Currently the largest primate sanctuary in the world, Chimfunshi has been honored by the United Nations Environmental Programme as one of the Global 500 and called by Jane Goodall "the most wonderful place on earth." In My Family Tree is the uplifting story behind one woman's transformation from a grandmother on the brink of retirement to an international animal-rights activist -- and the unforgettable chimpanzees she has come to know and love along the way.

Heart-Warming, Inspiring, and Compassionate.......2002-12-29

Sheila Siddle and her husband, David, are an amazing couple. They show that life is not over when you are at a "retirement" age. They created a whole chimpanzee sanctuary at such an age. Love, compassion, determination, and strong opinions of what is right and wrong all allowed the Siddles to reach out to animals in desperate need. In doing this, they also touch everyone with whom they come in to contact. Mrs. Siddle's book allows them to touch a great deal more of us. Thank you for all of your efforts and for this great book Mrs. Siddle!!

A Must Read.......2002-04-01

In this beautiful memoir, Sheila Siddle takes readers on magical journey--to Chimfunshi, a wildlife sanctuary Sheila and Dave Siddle founded in Zambia in 1983. Siddle's honest account of their work on behalf of chimpanzees will make you laugh out loud at the wonder and joy of working with wildlife. Siddle's prose also brings the battle for chimpanzees, which is far from won, into vivid and tragic relief. Filled with both humor and profound courage, this book is an inspiring must read for anyone who loves chimpanzees and all wildlife.

Trust me, all the information in this book is EASILY accessible online at each university's website. I would be surprised if you find this book helpful.

The only thing somewhat useful about this book is the way it lists schools according to Degree's offered and State. This only made my internet searching slightly easier, and this alone is not nearly worth the price of the book.

After over twelve years in the craft business this book finally answered the question that nobody else seemed to be able to answer, "How to create a formula to set my prices". I covers everything you need to consider and offers some advice on other areas such as record keeping.

Based on extensive research, and drawing on a wide range of sources, including local documents and interviews with descendants of both slaves and slaveowners, Cooper reconstructs the plantation economy of the East African coast and its effects on slaves. His work is intelligent, quite readable, and broadly comparative, as he relates the regional variations in slave systems along the coast and sets them beside forms of slavery

The ongoing global paradigm shift.......1999-09-13

I really enjoyed reading this book. It fits in to what many researchers already are saying that there is a major paradigm shift in the world today. The authors have caught the evidence for it in a most interesting way. The three trends are significant. I also fond the part of the development of business process re-engineering to knowledge engineering very interesting. The book is absolutely worth reading.

Very insightful book about the future of internet marketing........1998-12-24

I very much enjoyed Larsson and Lundberg's observations about direction and trends in internet commerce. The observations relating to classical economics "perfect market" are particularly insightful. Adams Smith's theory of "perfect knowledge" leading to a "perfect market" may not be just theory, but reality in the near future.

This book is well worth reading for anyone involved in marketing on the internet.
