Media Ethics: Issues and Cases4 reviews
Philip Patterson, Lee C Wilkins

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1997

Patterson was my professor
I have the first edition of this book and, unlike other professors, he did not lecture verbatim from his own book. I appreciated this. His lectures are dynamic, humorous and insightful. His books can give you a fine taste of his vast knowledge but don't adequately reflect his excellent teaching style. Furthermore, his material applies directly to your career. He makes certain that there are ...

Dressage from a to X: The Definitive Guide to Riding and Competing6 reviews
Barbara Burkhardt

Trafalgar Square Publishing, 1999

Very useful book
This book really covers a lot of topics that new dressage riders and potential showers want to know about. It is aimed at the training level rider who is considering competition or has perhaps done a little showing. It has a very common sense approach and deals with topics such as how to memorize tests, how to come up with warmup routines, how to handle nerves, etc. The author seems to have ...

Oren M. Levin-Waldman

State University of New York Press, 2001

A good read!
Timeless Places: Morocco is an enjoyable read, which takes the reader (and the viewer) to a land which is filled with mystery and mysticism.

Dr. Levin-Waldman blows the lid off the latent hippocracy behind the minimum wage "debate" with real statistics and voting records. When I first ... 		  
  







  
  
Reorganizing the Factory: Competing Through Cellular Manufacturing2 reviews
Nancy Hyer, Urban Wemmerlov

Productivity Press, 2002

Everything about CM and easy-to-understand.
I personally had the chance to take Urban's Cellular Manufacturing class and discuss the entire book with him. Urban and Nancy did an excellent job explaining what cellular manufacturing is, what it does, how it improves the competetiveness of an organization with easy language. The best thing about this book is that almost everything mentioned in the book can be implemented and you will learn ...

first good text on this since David and Moeschberger in 1978

People get sick or die or hardware fails due to one of several possible causes. In the competing risks model these causes are all given probabilities of ...

Mike Carson

Outskirts Press, 2008

teaches you to think correctly not just remember platitudes
I read a lot of sales books and they're all full of fancy catch phrases and killer closer lines but this is the first one I have seen that teaches me to think correctly so that I make up my own lines and closing conditions...what kills me is it's so easy...you just have to know how to think about it. I'd buy this book 10 times over again! 		  
  







  
  
How to Balance Competing Time Demands2 reviews
Doug Sherman, William Hendricks

Navpress, 1989

Fantastic book!
Companies spend billions of dollars writing business plans and then performing and measuring against the objectives they contain. If we can go to such great lengths for something as fleeting and superficial as a greenback, how much more of an effort can we make in living life intentionality. This book, more than ever I've read, is perfect for not only casting a vision for living life to its ...

A brilliant idea!
Many management books prescribe one management method as the cure-all which would resolve all problems. Others suggest that one management philosophy is the only one appropriate for a given organization. This book suggests that there are several basic management philosophies, and that organizations go through different cycles with a different managerial approach being correct for each stage ... 		  
  







  
  
International Business: Competing in the Global Marketplace, Postscript 19982 reviews
Charles W. L. Hill

McGraw-Hill Companies, 1998

a very practical and enriching insights
These views are personal! This book is comparable and on equal footing with the "International Business" by Czinkota, Ronkainen & Moffet. One is complementary of the other.Some of the subjects are overlapping. I am in the opinions both are focusing on the topics for the benefits of the readers, especially for MBA students. Both are a great & wonderful books. By the way, I have only read Mr ...

Outstanding. All org leaders should read
This is an excellent look at what motivates people, and what business leaders need to do to revitalize their organizations.

We found them to be very engaging, down to earth, and exceptionally talented at the ...
