Ralph Fletcher, JoAnn Portalupi

Heinemann, 2001

Outstanding Read!
I have taught writing for the past five years utilizing the teaching structure, writing workshop. I have also taught teachers how to teach using writing workshop and this has been the most helpful book in training new teachers. It is an easy read with lots of timelines, teacher guides, quick summaries at the end of chapters and practical advice. There are a lot of books out there about writing ...

Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations

Clay Shirky

Penguin Press HC, The, 2008

An Excellent Discussion of Changing Group Dynamics
I am not one to read books on technology, strange as it may seem. Especially ones that talk about current issues as they will become dated in a few months, or less. However, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations, by Clay Shirky, works for me on several levels. You could read this book a year from now and still gain valuable insight into the blogging, Twitter, and ...

Getting Past No

William Ury

Bantam, 1993

Useful & Easy To Read
This book is simple and to the point. It does what it claims - teach you how to negotiate. You follow the steps when you deal with salespeople, bankers, and so forth. It is particularly helpful because it tells you the games people play. Once you know what they do, it is possible to counteract it. In other words, it is a useful book.

Chronicle Books, 2007

excellent documentation on wonderful project!
After seeing the film doc I was excited to order the book to see many other entries that were made in the many journals. A simple little image book...lovely, I was surprised by the added feature of stitching on many pages...really made it feel like more of a homemade piece. If you're in to visual journals, buy this book! (It's priced way under value too.) Love it! So many ideas form so many ...

Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams

Portfolio Hardcover, 2008

Wikinomics Will Change the World
The theme of this book is simple enough to understand and clearly stated at the beginning of the book: More minds and new technologies are allowing more people to share information and ideas, collaborate and innovate in ways the world has never seen, all of which will lead to more rapid and innovate change in the way we live our lives and interact with each other. The remainder of the book is ...

Seth Bates, Tony Smith

Apress, 2007

Excellent book for various skill-level users.
This book is easy to use both as a learning tool and a reference tool. The many examples provided give good background on the context of the desired function, and explicit, step-by-step instructions. The book has lots of "usage" suggestions.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

PANCE
This is all I used to study for the PANCE and it was worth every penny. I read several reviews that were not recommending this book but I strongly disagree. I paid a lot of money and attended a course in Chicago and I actually got more from reading this book. To be honest I read the book before I attended the review and learned nothing new at the review. Save your money on the course and buy this ...

Psychological Consultation and Collaboration: Introduction to Theory and Practice (6th Edition)

1 review
Duane Brown, Walter B. Pryzwansky, ...

Allyn & Bacon, 2005

Ridiculously Verbose and Boring
This is quite possibly the worst text book I have ever tried to read. It seems as though the author took a simple subject and squeezed the life out of it in order to fill more pages. I do not recommend this book to anyone, unless you are having trouble falling asleep or you like wasting your money.

David Straus, Thomas C. Layton

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2002

Terrific Book from a National Leader in Group Empowerment
Just plain terrific. David Straus's second book is useful for anyone involved in groups, whether at work, at home, or in the community-- and isn't that all of us? He covers it all-- from very basic details such as how to arrange the furniture in your meeting room, to how to effect the most sophisticated interchanges between participants at the highest levels of authority.

Major Contribution-Nearest Billionaire, Endow a Center for This Guy!
CHRISTMAS TIP: For the CEO who has too much money, too little time, myopic solicitous subordinates, and some anxiety about the future, this book, together with Howard Gardner's Five Minds for the Future comprise the perfect Christmas gift. Print copies of my review of each and insert those inside each book's cover before wrapping. I have been interested in collective intelligence ever since ...

Trust-Based Selling: Using Customer Focus and Collaboration to Build Long-Term Relationships

Charles H. Green

McGraw-Hill, 2005

This Man is Dead On
As a salesman for many years I agree with everything that Mr. Green says. In fact I remember a particular sales call where I took my vice president to visit the vice president of a company with whom we were doing business. The customer had issued a requirement for a computer printer. I had brought one of our printers with us and given it to one of his teckies on the way to the meeting. The ...

Wikipedia: The Missing Manual

John Broughton

Pogue Press, 2008

Comprehensive
Having used Wikipedia for a long time as a reference tool, I liked it for being able to quickly look up topics. I had no idea until reading this book what a huge amount of time and people's work to ensure it works smoothly. I also was unclear about the process involved in contributing an article to Wikipedia and the rules an article should conform to. This book answered a lot of questions I had ...

Microsoft SharePoint 2003 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Vanessa L. Williams

For Dummies, 2005

Two thumbs up to the author...
Being given the task of constructing an intranet for our company's service desk felt a bit daunting, but then being advised you're going to use Sharepoint 2003 (which I'd never heard of) just added to the pressure... My initial reaction was that I needed to get "one of those books for dummies" on Sharepoint...I've never really liked reading and am still not the biggest fan, but Vanessa made it ...

We Are Smarter Than Me: How to Unleash the Power of Crowds in Your Business

21 reviews
Barry Libert, Jon Spector

Wharton School Publishing, 2007

Packs More Power Per Page Than Any Book I Ever Read...
I'm a long time automotive entrepreneur, now making my business online communities and specialized professional networks, and an old time Wharton School alumni, so when this book was announced I naturally had to buy and read it. Wow! Though very simple to read and absorb in a very short amount of time, with some helpful and entertaining call outs and pictures, there is not one book I've ...

Organizational Communication: Foundations for Business and Collaboration (with InfoTrac®)

1 review
Alan Zaremba

South-Western College Pub, 2005

could use some reorganisation
It would be a little easier to read after a reorganisation of the chapters. It just doesn't quite flow right. Lots of theory with a little "what's in it for me" thrown in. Required reading for my class.

Kia J. Bentley, Joseph Walsh

Brooks Cole, 2005

A Recommended Addition to any Social Worker's Bookshelf
In the coming years, the role of the social worker in the treatment of the mentally ill will continue to grow. Books such as this help social workers to define their roles, which are critical ones. The mentally ill deserve the very best that the social work profession has to offer. Kia Bentley and Joseph Walsh do a great job in compiling the information needed to ensure that the ...
