Patti Hathaway

Destination Publications, 2000

Employee Centered View
Change is a critical factor in today's business world. When thinking of change we often have our punch list for the technical, procedural changes such as software, SOP, job aids and references, but we neglect those that are directly impacted, our ambassadors of change, the people. This book is straight forward approach and an easy read. It is an excellent tool for those struggling to rally the ...

Peterson's Techno-Crazed: The Businessperson's Guide to Controlling Technology-Before It Controls You1 review
Michael Finley

Petersons, 1995

Self-defense against technophoria
I liked what I read on the back cover of Michael Finley's book, and I bought it as a kind of "self-defense"; course to protect me from someone who has been subjecting me to their symptoms of compulsive technophoria. On the basis of my preliminary scan, it seemed like a good collection of idiosyncratic cases of technological extremism -- no great depth, but some useful ammunition. The more I read ...
  
  











  



  
Before the Change : Taking Charge of Your Perimenopause56 reviews
Ann Louise Gittleman, 2004

I had immediate results/improvement! Thank God!
I am just about to turn 40. For the past two years, I've had insomnia and severe PMS symptoms every month. I've been to a sleep specialist, an endocrinologist, the gynocologist, all to no avail except money spent on meds that didn't work. I threw the meds out when a friend handed me this book, tried just the vitamin and mineral supplement suggestions (one of the perizappers) plus the magnesium ...

Diane, Ph.D. Holloway, Nancy Bishop

Collier Books, 1990

Great Book For People Considering Any Job Change
This is the second time I am ordering this book...lost the first copy. I am again considering a job change, and want to make a well-thought-out decision because the last thing I want to do is move-on and continue to be dissatisfied. This book is easy to follow and provides an excellent framework for factors that should be considered prior to making a workplace change. It helped me define the ...
  
  











  



  
Is Your Genius at Work?: 4 Key Questions to Ask Before Your Next Career Move11 reviews
Dick Richards

Davies-Black Publishing, 2005

Not just for job seekers
Before I go any further with this review, let me set something straight: the value of this book is not limited to jobseekers. This is stuff that will help you reframe the way you view your life. There are plenty of other books that help you figure out your most basic competencies (books on enneagrams, Now Discover Your Strengths, etc...). I've only done a little bit of messing around in this ...
  
  











  



  
Before Time Could Change Them: The Complete Poems of Constantine P. Cavafy1 review
Constantine P. Cavafy

Harcourt, 2001

Expatriot longings in Alexandria, the poetry of love
Constantine P. Cavafy is one of the most intelligent and elloquent poets of this century, but remains barely known in American. Why is this? Probably because Cavafy is a man and his poems of lust and longing are addressed at other young men. I would never have discovered this amazing man if it were not for an essay about him published in Gore Vidal's "The Last Empire." Cavafy spent his life ...

Dr. Andreas Osiander comes from ancient German blood; his name has been around in German religious biblical culture for 500 years. He has noble ancesters who bear his same name.

Lord, Change My Attitude: Before Its Too Late13 reviews

Great Bible Study
This is a great Bible study if you truly want to change your attitude. James MacDonald has an easy to read and understand style that gets the most out of the Word of God. He covers 10 attitudes putting off each of five negetive attitudes and replacing them with 5 positive attitudes using the Isrealites in Numbers as examples. This is the second time I have done this study and I really needed ...
  
  











  



  
The Last Dream Before Dawn: A Novel6 reviews
David Valentine Bernard, D.V. Bernard

Strebor Books, 2003

A new genre
This book was a great departure, from what I normally read, which is black fiction, based around romantic relationships. These books are more commonly known as "sistagurl" books. This book was written intelligently, and dealt with issues that we can all relate to in society. This book was a page turner, filled with mayhem, suspense, love, hate, violence, peace, and introspection. This novel makes ...
  
  











  



  
Reading Magic: Why Reading Aloud to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever: The Internationally ...2 reviews
Mem Fox

Scholastic Books, 2002

A Must Read
Reading magic is a great book that should be required reading for all parents, especially those that are expecting or have toddlers. The one quote I love the most from this book is "The fire of literacy is created by the emotional sparks between a child, a book, and the person reading it". Reading Magic explains the importance of reading aloud and how easy it is for mothers and fathers to do. ...
  
  











  



  
The predictable failure of educational reform: Can we change course before it's too late? (A Joint ...2 reviews
Seymour Bernard Sarason

Jossey-Bass, 1991

Why Education Reform Has Failed
Sarason writes for those who are members of the community of learners and members of the political community whose role and power affect the direction of educational reform. His ideas are not unique, but are distinctive in that there is an emphasis of ideas that have in the past have been kept separate. His belief is that as long as we keep them separate, failure will occur. Chapter One ...
  
  











  



  
Before the Revolution: Nationalism, Social Change and Ireland's Catholic Elite, 1879-19221 review
Senia Paseta

Cork University Press, 1999

Consider the source
This is the kind of research you get if you just rely on statistics and searching the newspaper records. There are still people living who know about this era from parents, grandparents and friends. The author, however, seems to have relied on newspaper quotes, tests results, and graduation rates and misinterprets what those mean. Graduation from the national university does not mean that ...
  
  











  



  
Scuttle Your Ships Before Advancing: And Other Lessons from History on Leadership and Change for Today's ...1 review
Richard Luecke

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

Good book - and many fine lessons
This books takes its title from the Spanish conquest of Central America where (I think it was Cortez...it's been a while since I read the book). The Spanish came ashore with the idea of conquering the indigenous population and scuttled their ships in order to wipe out any chance of restreat. What's interesting is the weaving of history and management styles. A book worth reading if you ...

Awesome book. So informative and encouraging

Excellently written for the lay person or professional. Covers symptoms, ...

This handbook is not a cook-book per se, but the kitchen metaphor comes to mind when ...
  
  











  



  
Poems written before jumping out of an 8 story window1 review
Charles Bukowski

Poetry X/Change, 1968

A Flawed Gem
It's been several years since I read this early work of Bukowski's--while sitting in a special collections room at the Washington University library (they have an excellent archive of contemporary American writers). From what I recall, this collection typifies Bukowski's poetry of the 50s and 60s. His writing is tentative and uneven, his style is still somewhat uncertain, but the passion and ...
