Resurrecting Sex: Solving Sexual Problems and Revolutionizing Your Relationship

2 reviews
David Schnarch, James Maddock

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Very helpful guide for a "work in progress"
The fifty pages in Part II are the core content of this book. They offer a comforting view of the difficult side of marriage - the long term, committed relationship where sex is dead or dying. I say "comforting" because Schnarch maps out the progression of a relationship in a way where you can see that the fluctuations in the passion and intimacy couples feel for each other are part of the ...

Six Sigma: The Breakthrough Management Strategy Revolutionizing the World's Top Corporations

39 reviews
Mikel Phd Harry, Richard Schroeder

Doubleday Business, 2006

Old wine in a new bottle
As a person with exposure to Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model, I can say with conviction that the authors of this book have tried to sell the concept of Six-sigma the way corporate chieftains want to hear. i.e increase in bottom-line. The book gives a good, superficial account of what is Six-Sigma with reference to implementations in Motorola, General Electric and ...

Administrative Excellence: Revolutionizing Our Value In The Workplace

Erin O'Hara Meyer

Beaver's Pond Press, 2005

Great and New Ideas
So often, a book for Administrative Assistants has the "same ole stuff." While this book certainly covers some of the basics, there is a new and fresh approach to the profession. It is written as if the PA (Professional Assistant), as she calls us, is indeed a partner with their manager. The accountability and responsibilities are spelled out in a very professional manner. I truly enjoyed the ...

Barbra Horowitz

Sterling, 2007

The perfect wardrobe revamping guide for the new year!
In addition to gift giving, holiday parties, and mistletoe kisses, the end of the year brings about much self-reflection, especially as we stare into our over-stuffed closets and utter the famous phrase "I have absolutely nothing to wear!"

The Enlightened Stepmother: Revolutionizing the Role

29 reviews
Perdita K. Norwood, Teri Wingender

Harper Paperbacks, 1999

Straightforward and No-Nonsense
This is a book that gets right to the point and doesn't waste my time throwing fakey "hugs and support" icons my way. It treats me as an independent and highly competent adult. The facts are there, the likelihoods, probabilities and tendencies and indications are all spelled out as well. It was well-written and researched and held my attention.

A revitalizing way to look at democracy as education
Three important points this book makes: Reclaim a Democratic Vision: Our forefathers founded this country on democratic principles which seemed to have gotten lost in the mist. Yet, in order to regain the vision, education must look back to these principles and revolutionize its pedagogy in the same manner as Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, et al. did for their countrymen.
