Book Description
Waste Minimization as a Strategic Weapon provides guidance on how to design, implement, evaluate, and maintain a waste minimization program. It describes how waste reduction programs can be successfully coordinated into company procedures, while simultaneously improving that company's bottom line. It illustrates how to set goals and metrics for a waste minimization program, how to determine the progress of such a program, and how to calculate the true costs of environmental compliance. The underlying assumption is that waste is a manageable resource, and can therefore be turned into profit when managed appropriately. This comprehensive new book ties together the various systems, listed below, into a cohesive waste minimization program called Environmental Resources Management (ERM):

Business cost improvements.......2000-05-15
Used this book as a means of changing our company culture. Helped reduce not just environmental waste but business waste as well. Basic thoughts about engineering, manufacturing and support functions caused dramatic improvements. Highly recommend it for business cost improvements. Simple, effective advice.
Waste minimization.......2000-01-27
The subjects discussed are done in a clear and easy to floow style. They allow any size organization to get an effective environmental program as well a business waste reduction, i.e. scrap, rework, energy, labor etc. program. Great how-to book for an executive for any type of business. I like the author's style and look forward to reading more by him.

Book Description
The Imaginary Time Bomb diffuses the myth that the aging baby-boomer population is producing a downward economic spiral. Phil Mullan argues that the growing preoccupation with aging has little to do with demography, but is instead used to justify future reductions in the role of government in the economy, and the curbing of the welfare state.

Book Description
Be IN THE KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Doing business across borders is very different from doing business across town–subtle and not-so-subtle differences in attitudes and etiquette play a big role.
Did you know?
• Bowing in Japan isn’t just bending at the waist; where you put your hands and how deep you bow makes a big difference!
• Don’t give gifts in groups of four or nine. “Four” and “nine” are unlucky because the words sound like “death” and “hardship” in Japanese.
• Don’t expect Japanese colleagues to come out and say “no.” They will usually say “maybe.”
In the Know in Japan helps you:
• Fit right in by understanding local manners, etiquette, and behaviors
• Navigate through everyday life with tips for the whole family
• Get an insider’s perspective on the social and business environment
The book includes a FREE 60-minute CD with the key phrases you need to make a great impression.
Customer Reviews:
Indispensible,yes, and an enjoyable work to read........2005-02-13
Reading this book will help prepare expatriates know about the culture and subcultures of the Japanese. The text comes with a 60-minute CD that can be read along with to practice some common and practical Japanese words/phrases.
This book does not prepare readers for writing or understanding kanji characters, but it can let you know how to say things like: Where are the restrooms? : Toire wa doko desu ka?, as well as times, calendar terms, business jargon and a bit more.
I think the value of this book lies in the fact that it is comprehensive. It begins with a nice little history lesson about the eastern archipelago. It progresses into conversational but well-written explanations of transportation, lodging, etiquette, politics and the psychological aspects of entering (and eventually leaving) such a different culture. It also has a nice little black-and-white map printed on the inside front cover.
This book is ideal for students, travellers, TEFL teachers and people who just want to learn about a very interesting society.
I enjoyed reading it and I think it's worth its price.

Book Description
Sexual Abuse Recalled: Treating Trauma in the Era of the Recovered Memory Debate provides clinical discussion and knowledge from state-of-the-art research in order to further the treatment of adult survivors of abuse. Mental health professionals will find this psychodynamically oriented book helpful when confronted with dilemmas, questions, or concerns about adults who may have been abused as children. While it is possible for memories of abuse that have been forgotten for decades to be remembered, it is also possible to construct pseudo-memories for events that never actually occurred. Deciding which is the case as well as which of the remembered events approximate reality is often a complex task. This volume will be welcomed by mental health professionals seeking thoughtful guidance for their therapeutic work.
Customer Reviews:
Good preparatory for Antietam.......2004-10-26
I believe this book is a good lead in to the Antietam campaign.
Starting with the breakoff from the "Seven Days" battles, this book leads you through Cedar Mountain 8/9/62 and into Second Manassas. Good general maps, not regimental detailed however.
I used this book for a preempt to the Krick work of much more detail on Cedar Mountain and the Hennessy book on Return to Bull Run, again more detailed. If you are looking for a general overview of the eastern campaign summer of 1862 prior to Antietam , this fits the bill.
Very Good!.......2004-01-04
This is an excellent account of the end of the Peninsula Campaign through and including the South's first invasion of the North, Antietam. Clearly written, concise and with excellent maps, the interpretation of tactics and strategy is excellent. Given Lee's misfortunes and incredible blunders, it is almost beyond belief that McClellan would let him escape a second time. You begin to think that the South's best general was not Robert E. Lee but George B. McClellan.
In his final battle McClellan truly proves himself either inept or treasonous, you decide. Thank God Lincoln finally fired him for good. Be prepared for a little Southern bias.
Very good consolidation of this period of the war..........2002-08-21
4 1/2 stars...This is the only book that I could find that described in detail the period from the end of the Peninsula campaign to Antietam. Stackpole describes this period in clear, concise terms (if not a little slanted to the Confederate point of view) while at the same time making it very readable. We learn all about the troop movements that the Federals made to vacate Harrison's Landing on the Peninsula, while seeing the formation of Pope's Army of Northern Virginia. The plan to consolidate these forces and re-attack Richmond is very clearly covered, but ultimately under-mined by McClellan and to a degree, Halleck as the Federal forces couldn't quite coordinate this seemingly simple troop movement. We get Lee's perspective on this and learn that he had an amazing ability to "read" his enemies' leadership and he ultimately based his troop plans, correctly, on these assumptions. The battle of Cedar Mountain starts the battle sequences for this campaign and shows this ability as Stonewall Jackson advances North to Gordonsville with the idea of crossing the Rappohannock River. The standoff at Cedar Mountain should have given the Federals the momentum that they needed to continue pursuit of the Confederates back to Gordonsville, but we learn quickly that John Pope, although much more agressive than McClellan, is far too inept to lead this large a force. What we see is Pope ordering again and again, a confusing series of movements to try to 1) outflank Lee and then (when it's discovered that Lee has information concerning this troop movement plan and plans to counter-attack) 2) to retreat back across the Rappohannock and establish an entrenchment north of the river. Stackpole, again writng squarely in the Confederate mindset, describes Lee's decision to divide his army and send Jackson on a flanking movement that ultimately ended up in the battle of second Manassas. Pope is severly criticized by Stackpole for lack of leadership and egotistical behaviour and shows how this combination hurt the Union chances at 2nd Manassas. Incredibly, McClellan re-obtains leadership of the combined Army of the Potomac (shown through lack of clear direction from Lincoln and Halleck) and even though learns of the precise invasion plans Lee had of Maryland, he moves at the deliberate pace that epitomized his tenure and misses many major opportunities to destroy the Confederates at South Mountain and finally, Antietam. Stackpole manages to interpret all this complex history into an enjoyable reading experience while still telling history as it should be told. The criticism of this book, to me, is the maps. These are topography maps that really confuse more than help the reader...although, towards the end of the book, they seemed to get better. Regardless, they are plentiful and give the reader the minimum idea of what's going on. Another critique is the brief and vague discussion of the Antietam action at the Sunken Road (Bloody Lane). Stackpole gives 2 pages to this complex action while spending much more time and length to the other sections of the battle and to me, it seemed to detract from the narrative. Finally, the Commentary section that D. Scott Hartwig provides (a re-evaluation of some of the conclusions that Stackpole had that have since come more to light with increased avaialble scholorship) is a surprisingly apt ending to the book. I really must characterize this as an important study of that period of the Civil War between the Peninsula Campaign and Antietam and recommend it highly.
Excellent Book For Beginners and Hard-Core Buffs.......1997-12-04
Originally published in 1959, Stackpole's book was revised and republished in 1993 as the 2nd (and current) edition..... Having read MANY books and articles on the Maryland Campaign (including the latest from Sears and Priest) and having visited each of the battlefields several times, Stackpole's book was a wonderful addition to my collection. His compact writing style, the inclusion of some rather obscure facts, and the numerous maps make reading the book a pleasure.....For the Civil War neophyte, this book is a good means of learning about the "rebellion" without being overwhelmed with minutia. For the more "advanced" reader, the book is a delightful refresher course, with bits of new information thrown in from time to time.......In covering the Maryland Campaign (Cedar Mouintain, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam), Stackpole - out of necessity - could not go into the detail found in some more recent texts. And he does miss the mark on some facts, as known today. But on the whole, this work is extremely well-researched and well written.....I recommend it highly.
