Nothing Spectacular.......2005-01-19

I bought this small guide thinking it would clarify exactly what I should be keeping in mind nutrition-wise being 3 months pregnant ( I had found What to Expect's nutrition section somewhat hard to follow). This very short book had a LOT of repetition and, in some instances, displayed a poor editing job (under the heading of Peanut Allergies you will find the suggestion that you should really eliminate fish, eggs and cows milk from your diet to avoid exposing your baby to some common allergens--whether during pregnancy or while breastfeeding is unclear, while a chapter ago the book strongly advocated 12 ounces of fish per week). All in all, this book did have good information and good looking recipes (hence the three stars) but could have been much better, and I did not find that the quality justified an $8 price tag.

Book Description

In a team situation, many issues -- like lack of trust and commitment, unresolved conflicts, and the inability of individuals to understand how their actions impact the rest of the team -- can stop even the most promising groups from delivering great results. This simple, easy-to-use book gives managers, supervisors, and team leaders activities to help their teams overcome emotional obstacles and become more effective. Readers will find powerful, proven exercises they can use to help employees:

* identify individual and team mood
* deal with anger and emotional triggers
* avert, rather than avoid, conflict
* encourage communication
* overcome fear and other obstacles
* understand and manage competition
* honor differences
* assess team strengths and weaknesses
* pick up on cues from teammates
* control the emotional climate of the team

Each activity is followed by a discussion of its purpose, how to use it, and a list of post- activity questions to help solidify each lesson. This practical, effective collection of proven exercises will elicit the best from any team.

A great guide book for quick Team EI activities!.......2007-02-07

Dr. Lynn has done it again with another exceptional book on Emotional Intelligence (EI).

I especially like that the book is designed with a quick introduction to EI for those who need a refresher or if you hand it to a manager with no EI experience.

The book is neatly organized with a tables listing all the activities and requirements at a glance and then you turn to the specific activity to go into more detail.

I recommend this as an excellent resource for a manager who wants to find a quick team activity or an experienced trainer looking to expand their repertoire.

Ergonomics For Beginners: A Quick Reference Guide.......2002-07-13

I picked up a copy of the first edition of this book while working on my master's degree in ergonmics. I found it to be a useful quick reference. Once working as an ergonomist it proved to be a valuable tool. It is small enough to be easy to carry along when going out to work sites. The various illustrations are simple and clear; handy when explaining a concept. I've recommended it to workers, managers and supervisors who wanted a low-cost reference. It is a tool they can use after I'm gone to answer basic questions. In short, if you want one book about ergonomics and are concerned about cost then this one would be an excellent choice.

research and design info.......2000-10-17

great book for beginners! lots of wonderful simple to understand images and captions follow. very informative about the requirements of ergonomics in the design field and how it affects products. cheap enough to buy and keep for reference on your own bookshelf - very handy!

Book Description

In elementary schools across the country, teachers are expected to provide at least five minutes of character education each day. This book makes it easy to meet that requirement in a meaningful way. It includes 180 character vignettes-five for each of the 36 weeks in the school year-grouped by trait. Each features kids in real-life situations making decisions that reflect their character. Each is short enough to be read aloud; all can be used as starting points for discussion, to support an existing character education program, or as the basis for an independent program. An excellent tool for the classroom or the character-conscious home.

Good intentions... but need more........2007-08-24

I was very excited to order this book. I couldn't wait to read stories to my 5 and 7-year old that focused on character traits. Problem is, the stories are way too short. Most are 1/2 - 3/4 of one page. Both children complained that the stories are not long enough. Honestly, I would be better off looking for picture books at the library that focus on one character trait, but have a more involved story that the children really get into. Great intentions, but falls short.

Character Building.......2007-07-19

This book is just what I was looking for to jumpstart conversations about good character in my reading program, grades one through five. The stories are short, leaving plenty of time for discussion or written reflection.

Co-authored by educators Anne D. Mather and Louise B.

Character Building Day By Day is very strongly recommended for all elementary-level educators and parents for its invaluable collection of easily implemented daily practices for an overall better understanding by children of what good character and decision making consists of.

Best Book for Experienced Unix Programmers to Learn MFC.......1999-07-11

After searching for 3-4 years for the right book to learn MFC and Windows programming, I finally found it. Laura Draxler, you are a goddess for writing this very intelligent guide for experienced programmers to learn MFC and Windows programming. I hope you and Prentice Hall will extend a revise the book to cover advanced topics such as COM+. One of the real complaints I've had about other Windows programming books is they never made the connection between MFC and the underlying Windows architecture. This book is the RARE exception. Written for experienced programmers, it takes the reader from the basics of the Visual Studio tool suite, through most of the MFC controls, up to DLL's. Contains great illustrations and excellently documented code fragments.

Remove the mystery from Visual C++!.......1999-05-08

I have read all the popular books on MFC and C++. They all make assumptions that you understand the underpinnings of the environment. This book goes into explaining not only the most commonly used features of MFC with much clarity, but also explains numerous other details such as the use of .lib files and their role in conjunction with dll's. 'THE' MFC book!

Still the best book on MFC!.......1998-08-28

Best choice for those who want to learn MFC without missing the understanding of Windows! If you looked at hundreds of books on MFC and find it hard to pick the right one, read this book, it will prove to be most effective! I read it twice and I keep going back to it, especially when I have difficulties with MFC documentations. Code samples in this book are ready to use in your software and save time. Finally, this book is not too huge! It contains only necessary information and keeps the reader interested. Now, when Visual C++ 6.0 is out, all of the information in this book is still relevant since MFC hasn't really changed with this new release.

Nearly 200 "quickie" classroom activities and reproducible worksheets to develop the thinking, reasoning and memory skills of elementary students and help them master both basic and advanced concepts in math, language and writing. Ideal ways to get kids involved, vary instruction, fill spare minutes, introduce or reinforce specific skills/concepts, and assign as homework.

Good resource for parents, too.......2007-04-23

My son has really responded to the activities in this book. We've used activities from the "Thinking and Reasoning" and "Listening and Remembering" sections as warm-ups for more challenging work, and the math and language activities look like they'd be good "bridge" activities for the summer months. Although this book is intended for use in the classroom and contains some partner activities, it appears that most of the group activities can be used with a single child. And, of course, you can always be your child's partner for the partner activities.

a must have.......2007-01-16

I've looked at various teaching resources that claim to make kids think and several of them actually do. This one was impressive to me because of the diversity of the activities- it has math, language and general reasoning. It would be appropriate for children as young as first grade. (But perfectly suitable for my 4th graders.) I would recommend this book to any teacher for extension activities.

GREAT extra work.......2000-03-25

I copied different pages with 9th graders, and they REALLY enjoyed doing the problems. They did this after a test or when they had finished their assignment. I am a substitute teacher and this is a GREAT fill in when all the work is finished. May be used in other grades also.

All these exercises/advice were duplicated in other pregnancy books. Only good if you want one book for all exercises and don't plan to read other pregnancy books.

Some info but could have more details..........2005-01-20

I found this book to contain some useful information. However I was able to find the same info just by doing some quick research on the net.
What really annoyed me is that the author kept repeating the same points over and over and over again. If you would take that book and eliminate the repeted paragraphs it would shrink to being half its size.
