Congratulations, you're expecting a baby! What you may not be expecting is all of the requisite gear you "need" to look after your dear bundle. Fear not. Denise and Alan Fields, authors of Bridal Bargains, are here to tell you what's super and what's silly, and how to find it at the best price. You'll learn all about how (and where) to shop for a crib and dresser (including how to get European styling at reasonable prices), what you need in bedding and what can be skipped (a hint: no baby requires the $200 quilt!), which clothing brands are safest and least expensive, and how to shop for monitors, toys, car seats, strollers, books, videos, and more. The authors have field-tested every major brand (and several of the minor ones), and they provide star ratings and annotations at the end of every chapter. A helpful feature in each chapter called "Wastes of Money" will steer you away from $35 Baby Air Jordans and frilly diaper stackers that match your bedding. If that's not enough, they offer a money-back guarantee: If the book doesn't save you at least $250 in baby expenses, they'll refund the price of the book. Well researched and written in a witty and comfortable tone, Baby Bargains should be required reading for every safety- and money-conscious parent-to-be. --Rebecca A. StaffelCustomer Reviews:

Product Description
Dance - Dance of the Butterfly By Cris Anson Book 2 in the Dance series. Magnus Thorvald, as strong and stubborn as the oak he carves, steers clear of loose women since his ex-wife's betrayal. Kat Donaldson, thirty-something free spirit, suburban Philadelphia art gallery owner, enthusiastic sex-club devotee, meets the first man who won't say yes. When Kat hears about an obscure artist's uncommon talent, she tracks him down to a rural corner of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he lives in a stone barn like a monk. Overwhelmed by the power of his carvings, she offers to represent him. Her blatantly sexy attire warns Magnus away from the tall, willowy redhead even as she ignites unwanted feelings of lust. Despising his body's instant reaction, he turns her down flat. This only makes Kat more determined—she has a reputation for launching new talent. Plus, the sight of this magnificent Viking, six-five with blond hair and glacier-blue eyes, kicks her libido into instant lust. When Magnus' irrepressible younger brother agrees to pose nude for Kat's art class, all hell breaks loose as he tries to make Magnus jealous enough to go after what he wants. Note: Although this book can be read as a stand-alone, some references are made to characters and situations from Book 1 in the series, Dance of the Seven Veils.Download Description

Creating Software Alliances: A Detailed Look at Establishing Partnerships in the Software Industry, Structuring Agreements, and Managing Relationships
Michael L. Whitener Manufacturer: Aspatore Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1596226218 Release Date: 2007-02-15 |
Book Description
The rapid globalization of the software industry, combined with ease of software distribution worldwide, has transformed the industry into a vast network of alliance relationships. By partnering with resellers, system integrators, and others, a software company can extend its reach to customers in markets and geographies that would otherwise be closed to it, or accessible only at great expense and effort. But the actual structuring of a software alliance has often been a hit-and-miss proposition . . . until now.Written by a seasoned intellectual property lawyer, Creating Software Alliances takes a comprehensive yet detailed look at how a software alliance agreement can be drafted to maximize profits for the software vendor. By analyzing the critical provisions of an alliance contract on a clause-by-clause basis, Creating Software Alliances promises to (1) reduce the time and expense of negotiating software partnerships, and (2) provide software companies of all kinds with the tools to strengthen their alliance relationships.
Creating Software Alliances also addresses the art of managing software alliances; revenue recognition issues that may arise; and special considerations when software companies expand overseas. It is a must-have resource for every executive and professional interested in making software alliances work.
Praise:
"Michael Whitener has done a brilliant job with Creating Software Alliances. Advice this valuable is rarely heard outside of a law firm's offices. If you're a decision-maker in the software industry, you should read this book." --John Sharp, Chairman and CEO, Authentium, Inc.
"This book is a must read for any software company that is selling through channels. It will reduce risks and lead to higher revenues." --Harald Horgen, President,The York Group
"Successful alliances have a clear business strategy, well-crafted structure, and flexible management. This book is a must-read for business development and legal executives crafting software alliances. It explains in plain English how the scope, terms, conditions, and framing of these deals can be designed to reach strategic goals and set the stage for productive partnerships." --Ben Gomes-Casseres, Co-author, Mastering Alliance Strategy and Professor, Brandeis University

Book Description
A leader in the anticon-sumerism movement offers a clear and simple path for parents to follow as they seek to protect their children from the notion that 'more is better.' With parents today worried that they are raising the 'I want' generation, this book arrives at just the right moment. Betsy Taylor's advice ranges from simple, everyday things parents can do to more sophisticated approaches, such as teaching media literacy and financial skills to their children to fight this problem. Along the way, she enlists the voices and stories of parents and educators on the front line in this 'war' against consumerism. She also promotes the philosophy of how to have 'more fun' with 'less stuff' by returning to simple and meaningful rituals like dinner conversation and nature outings. Striving toward a life in which the 'hand, heart, and homemade' is highly valued, this inspirational guide fromBetsyTaylor offers a much needed helping hand.Customer Reviews:

Commerce and Government: Considered in Their Mutual Relationship
Etienne Bonnot De Condillac , and Walter Eltis Manufacturer: Edward Elgar Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1858981719 |
Book Description
This book is the first English language edition of Le Commerce et le Gouvernement by the distinguished eighteenth century economist and philosopher Condillac. It was one of the most original contributions to French economics in the eighteenth century. In this edition the editors provide an English translation of the original and a comprehensive account of Condillac's life and contribution to economics. In the late eighteenth century Condillac used the clarity and precision of thought of a leading philosopher to derive a fundamental set of economic principles and their implications for policy. He arrived at the same free trade conclusions as Adam Smith, and Le Commerce et le Gouvernement was published in the same year as The Wealth of Nations. Condillac's economics was initially condemned by the physiocrats because in his utility-based analysis, industry and commerce and not just agriculture contributed to the wealth of France. The original French edition was quickly dismissed by those in positions of power in France who preferred dirigism to competition, while across the Channel the British were unaware of its existence. The importance of Condillac's contribution to economics was recognized after the marginal revolution of the 1870's. In the eighteenth century Condillac won the respect of Voltaire and Rousseau, and the high regard of the King and the Church. His work has since been admired by Allais, Hayek, Menger and Weulersse, while Jevons believed that it provided the first distinct statement of the true connection between value and utility. Commerce and Government will be of special interest to historians of economic thought and those interested in the economic history of the eighteenth century.

Maintaining and Evolving Successful Commercial Web Sites: Managing Change, Content, Customer Relationships, and Site Measurement (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
Ashley Friedlein Manufacturer: Morgan Kaufmann ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1558608303 |
Book Description
Ashley Friedlein's first book, Web Project Management: Delivering Successful Commercial Web Sites, became a bestseller and an essential reference for Web professionals developing new sites. Maintaining and Evolving Successful Commercial Web Sites addresses the realities of successful sites today, namely the notion that maintaining and evolving a site is actually a bigger commitment than launching it. Management wants to maximize returns and obtain reliable performance data, customers demand better service and insist on sites that are more advanced yet easier to use, and the Web site must increasingly be integrated with the entire business even as the amount of information it handles continues to grow.Customer Reviews:
Invaluable analysis.......2006-03-04
Practical, real-world advice from an expert.......2004-06-20
What sets this book apart from others is the way he focuses on two critical aspects of web site maintenance, (1) change management, and (2) content management. Whereas there are a number of books that address content management, this is the first I've read that goes into detail about change management. Many books mix the two, and fail to emphasize the criticality of change management on site reliability and availability. These two parts of the book alone warrant reading it.
There are two additional parts of the book that provide unique insights into critical success factors of web site management and evolution, which are customer relationship management, and site measurement. Whereas the first two parts deal with behind-the-scenes maintenance, these deal with business aspects, which do need to continuously evolve if a commercial site is to provide revenue in a highly competitive environment.
The part on customer relationship management starts with a primer on CRM to assure that readers understand a much-hyped topic. It then goes into how to achieve success factors by addressing understanding your users, personalization, community building, and customer service.
Site measurement, the final part of the book, is also detailed and filled with advice. Topics include: an overview titled, "Promises and Challenges of Web Site Measurement" and chapters on evolution of E-intelligence, measurement approaches and techniques, and reporting and analysis. This part of the book wraps up with chapters on how to improve a web site and tackling a web site measurement project.
Like his first book (cited above and which I highly recommend), this one is essential reading for anyone working with commercial web sites. The author, in my opinion, is one of the most savvy experts who has unique insights in all aspects of web site project and management. This book is yet another achievement and contribution to the body of knowledge by Mr. Friedlein.

Deborah A. Demott Manufacturer: West Publishing Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0314830006 |
Book Description
Designed to teach students that relationships governed by fiduciary obligation often require parties to abide by a high standard of fidelity and to remain loyal to the interests of the other party of the relationship, even at some personal cost. Even with outside relationships governed by fiduciary obligation, parties' conduct is evaluated against norms of good faith as well as against norms derived from the parties' express contractual undertakings. These duties play a significantand arguably unifyingrole in otherwise disparate bodies of law.Books:
