Book Description

Many people experience some degree of job dissatisfaction. But figuring out whether they should change themselves — or change jobs — isn’t easy. Drawing on her business background, her training as a social worker, and her years of experience as an executive coach, Maggie Craddock outlines a therapeutic process that carefully separates what the reader wants and needs from the often-frustrating demands of family and work. The author believes that identifying authentic career goals and strategies requires a careful examination of one’s inner life. She clearly outlines the four-stage process — beginning with the Awareness Stage and ending with the Integration Stage — and includes exercises, examples, and inspirational quotes. Craddock gently guides the reader through the process, illustrating each stage with real-life examples, including stories from Fortune 500 CEOs and professional women returning to the workforce after having children. Ultimately a very hopeful book, The Authentic Career is a welcome companion on anyone's career path.

Life Changing Book.......2007-04-25

Ms. Craddock's book is thought provoking. As an award winning portfolio manager, she brings her business background to a level where we can all relate. Never before has an author taken such an introspective approach to career development. Maggie is the Phil McGraw of career advice. This is a must read.

I no longer view negative co-workers the same. .......2007-03-04

There is a section in Ms. Craddoock's book that hits home with me. I could not understand for the life in me why co-workers sometimes took a dislike for others on the job for no apparent reason. According to this book, it turns out that individuals bring a lot of baggage from their childhood to work. One person in this book admitted to not liking their co-worker because they resembled a relative who had mistreated them in the past. Is that wild or what?

Soul based career development.......2005-01-30

The book is four-stage self-inquiry process by Executive Coach Maggie Craddock. Ms. Craddock's exercises comprise mind, body, and spirit in interactive exercises and follow-up action items. Her book was very helpful for me with respect to a recent career change from public relations to producing executive conferences for the pharmaceutical industry. The Authentic Career process a vital compass point in the navigation of a life-long work life.

The job market is moving at lightning speed. It is now essential for young professionals to assess their skills, talents, and values before taking life-altering paths. As for seasoned workers, The Authentic Career offers a balance between effective career evaluation and proactive actions consistent with one's values and needs in a professional context. This book that avoids the trap of "analysis paralysis" and aids to forwards anyone into decisive action.

living & working well.......2004-04-21

Rebeccasreads recommends THE AUTHENTIC CAREER as an elegant & deeply invested seminar on transforming the quality of both your professional & private life.

Illustrated with stories from Fortune 500 CEOs & women re-entering the workforce after having children, along with a four stage process, THE AUTHENTIC CAREER is deep reading, & certainly a worthy companion upon your professional path.

Zen and the Art of Professional Coaching.......2004-03-07

Ms. Craddock does a brilliant job of taking us through the often painful process of finding ourselves and then bringing the best of ourselves to the workplace. The Authentic Career is about finding and living the authentic self. It brings us back to the things we might have once been told by a well-meaning friend or a self-help lecture; it makes real and fleshes out exactly what we need to do to work through core issues of our identity and find our "true bliss" in the workplace.
What better person than Ms. Craddock to show us the way. She went from making million dollar business deals to working with mental patients to try to find her bliss and to bring the fruits of her labors to us, in a very readable,
usable form. I have benefitted greatly from reading this book!

Book Description

Until now, the field has lacked a concise, down-to-earth guide for people who must make effective maps using GIS. Making Maps is visually engaging, clear, and compelling--exactly how maps should be if they are to meet your goals. Featuring over 300 maps and other figures, including instructive examples of both good and poor design choices, the book covers everything from locating and processing data to making decisions about layout, map symbols, color, and type. For students, professionals, and others who want to make better maps, this is an essential, uniquely helpful resource.

Not very comprehensive.......2007-08-05

This was not quite the book I was looking for. It doesn't cover the topics very comprehensively. I was hoping for a book which talked more specifically about map design(i.e. colors, placements and such). The book is ok if you have never read about this topic before. For me who has read about this topic before it only took about 2-3 hours to read it through.

Nice book.......2007-04-05

I'm newly employed with GIS. I use ArcMap to make maps of properties for a real estate developer. This book was nice in many ways. It is very informative regarding styles, helping me create professional looking maps at my job. It was detailed enough to be informative, but was not overloaded by any means. The book was a quick read. It did not bog me down in boring details. It was well written, well organized, and well designed. I like the book and recommend it.

a real gem.......2006-05-18

This book should be required reading for anyone who is allowed to make maps with a GIS. It's actually a pretty quick read (3-4 hours for me) thanks to its concise and tightly organized text set in context of some very clean and simple graphics. There is even a healthy dash of humor (so welcome in technical writing), genuinely funny but always in service of the text.

Read this book to avoid the classic mistakes that all neophyte mapmakers commit.

Why make maps.......2006-01-16

What makes this book exception is not its clear design and simple text. It's a book about making maps, after all. One would hope the design was adequate. What distinguishes this book from its competition is that, implicitly if not always explicitly, it is about using maps, the arguments maps make. From the first page, a First Nation historical map, the argument is clear: Maps make arguments and making maps is about the best way to make arguments.
That's something worth seeing and reading. Design details are available in many places. This argument is not.

Simple and Effective.......2005-12-28

While I do a lot of GIS work and never took a cartography course when I started my career in geography research work. After searching through the local geography dept library, and searching the university bookstore for something simple, practical, and effective, I have to say "Making Maps" works great.

My background lies in biological and environmental work so there's quite a few times where I've been asked to make maps from a variety of different data sources for different audiences (i.e. scientific conferences, presentation diagrams, screenshots for emails, etc). Krygier & Wood's book effectively covers numerous cartographic principles while keeping in mind all the changes in the modern GIS world: i.e. the technological advances in mapping and geographic software, professional printing requirements, and the use of color in maps and how it may "play out" to different cultures around the world.

I really enjoyed reading this book over the holidays and found a lot of great mapping tips and techniques in it. It's a very strong visual guide and it's a lot more challenging to read than ESRI's simple intro guides. It's also more fun to read than a cartographic textbook! The list of other references at the end of the chapter are a good bonus.

But my favorite line in the whole book had to be on page 212 (choropleth maps) when the authors recommend to "please use your brain when making maps". Hilarious! There's gems like this in a few places through the book. A good read for the graphic artist in every cartographer and academically solid. It'll be a reference book on my workshelf for years to come.

A Must-Read for Renaissance Literature students.......2001-05-15

In refusing to share the patriarchal historiography, Tina Krontiris starts her four-chapter- book, with surveying the history of women writers from the "Early Renaissance Period" to the modern time from eclectic feminist and Marxist lenses. Through focusing on women's struggle to gain recognition and break the mirror that has always reflected them as mere subordinates to men, and, thus, relegating them to be mere objects of their desires and hopes, Krontiris strongly celebrates this struggle that, according to her, has debunked the perpetuating patriarchal discourses of religion, capitalism, authorship, and literary production.

Book Description

At a time when philosophy of history is decidedly out of fashion, Theories and Narratives explores the relationship between historical writing and theoretical understanding and seeks to establish the legitimate scope of large-scale theories to grasp historical processes as a whole.
Pursuing this objective, Alex Callinicos critically confronts a number of leading attempts to reconceptualize the meaning of history, including Francis Fukuyama’s rehabilitation of Hegel’s philosophy of history and the postmodernist efforts of Hayden White and others to deny the existence of a past independent of our representations of it. In these cases philosophical arguments are pursued in tandem with discussions of historical interpretations or, respectively, Stalinism and the Holocaust. Leading theories of history—Marx’s and Weber’s—are then examined in the context of recent work by writers such as Michael Mann, W. G. Runciman, and Robert Brenner
Finally, the politics of historical theory is explored in a discussion of Marxism’s claims to be a universal theory of human progress. Contradicting current fashion, Callinicos rebuts the claims made by many postmodernists that Marxism is inherently Eurocentric in both its conceptual structures and its political practice. Marx’s project of human emancipation, he concludes, still define our political horizons.
Theories and Narratives will interest all readers for whom the role of history in the understanding of contemporary civilizations is an essential issue.

Book Description

* That sinking feeling!

* One of the world ’s great stories

* Published on 92nd anniversary of disaster

In a night of unforgettable tragedy,the Titanic ,the
world ’s largest liner on its maiden voyage,struck an
iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11.40 p.m.on 14
April 1912 and sank at 2.20 a.m.the following
morning.Over 1500 people died.Whose fault it was,
and how the passengers and crew reacted,has been
a subject of dispute ever since the first news of the
disaster broke.
Titanic:A Night Remembered ,as well the story of the
ship and its only voyage,is an account of ten of
those who died:among them Titanic ’s captain
Edward Smith and builder Thomas Andrews,John
Jacob Astor,the richest man on board,and the
bandmaster,William Hartley,who played as the ship
sank.Stephanie Barczewski traces their lives and
careers and what brought all of them together on
that fatal night.Many of those who died were treated
as heroes (in contrast to men such as J.Bruce Ismay
and Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon,who used their
influence to get places in lifeboats).How these men
and women were remembered in both Britain and
America says much about contemporary values of
manhood,heroism,chivalry and national pride.
Titanic:A Night Remembered also sets the Titanic in
the context of three ports:Belfast,where it was built;
Southampton,which lost 600 citizens as members
of its crew;and Queenstown in Ireland,its last port
of call.

Customer Reviews:

Wait a minute, wrong book.......2007-07-28

If you're browsing through the bookstore shelves looking for material on the Titanic, you might see this book and mistakenly take it for Walter Lord's similarly-titled 'A Night to Remember.' Make sure to get the right book, because Lord's novel is in every way superior, and, just as importantly, doesn't take such a high-handed, condescending and know-it-all view of everything that occurred on the night of Titanic's sinking.

This book is so bad it doesn't merit an in-depth review, so let me just forewarn you that the author makes several sexist remarks, many of which are aimed at males and their failure to behave in a Victorian gentlemanly manner -- ironic considering the author's faux-feminist, supposedly progressive view. She seems to believe that she knows exactly what went on in different people's minds, without any substancial, reliable (read: not tabloid) sources to back her claims. She freely throws the word coward around.

The whole work screams of a lack of professionalism, and shouldn't be considered a credible academic source. It's not even good gossip, because you heard it all before, just like you probably heard this book's title before (Lord's book) before she ripped it off and tried to pass it off as something original.

If you're looking for a serious, thorough examination of events unfolding on the night of the titanic's sinking, please look elsewhere, unless you want to annoy yourself.

The memory is what matters.......2005-04-17

The topic of the book, as the title suggests, is not what happened during the Titanic disaster but how the incident and the people involved were remembered. Specifically, Barczewski contrasts the American reactions to and interpretations of the event, epitomised by Cameron's film, to British responses, beginning with the two inquiries that were held, one by the United States Senate, the other by the British Board of Trade. In doing so, she provides brief biographies of several of the most important figures in on the Titanic--Captain Edward Smith, First Officer Murdoch, wireless operator Jack Phillips, shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and bandleader Wallace Hartley--and chapters on the three cities most closely associated with the ship: Belfast in Northern Ireland, where it was built; Southampton, whence it sailed; and Queenstown (or Cove) in southern Ireland, its last port of call before striking the open sea.

Barczewski demonstrates how American interpretations tended to see the Titanic disaster as an upset of the existing class, gender, and nationalist structures of British society, upheld on a British-run ship as on land, culminating in Cameron's film interpretation of Titanic as not a British ship at all but an Irish one, built by Irish workers. British interpretations, by contrast, used the sinking to reinforce those structures; the press, public monuments, and poetry portrayed manly Anglo-Saxon men sacrificing themselves in purity of heart for their weaker dependants, women and servants and foreigners. The reason for this, she suggests, was that the sinking of Britain's largest, most luxurious vessel was a direct hit to its waning mastery over the seas. No longer could Britain boast that she ruled the waves when American and German shipping lines were building larger, faster, more elaborately appointed ships every day. After Titanic, it would all be downhill, though her sister ship the Olympic served with distinguished reliability into the Second World War.

It was a pleasure to read a book on this subject that disposed of the actual events of April 14, 1912 in one chapter without too many speculations and then delved into the wider implications of the disaster. My only complaint is that the book ended without any sort of summary of her argument; it went directly from the chapter on Queenstown into the appendices. Clear and persuasive though her argument was, I felt that the book needed a summary, structurally. Nevertheless, I recommend it to anyone interested in the world's most famous maritime disaster.

This is an editorial book not meant for facts........2004-05-26

Her tone is brash and her words are served on acid-laced sandpaper. As an editorial that relies heavily on editorials for material, it is a good and provocative read. However, her constant American-bashing gets very old very quickly especially in this day and age when I hear how much the world hates us on a regular basis on the news. I can appreciate where she is coming from but question why. If she is trying to provoke debate, she does it well in a one-sided and opinionated manner. I question why she constantly puts down the country that employs her and why she seems to delight in calling American millionaires "plutocrats" even if they are not. I was hoping to see a thought-provoking debate on what happened (editorially and culturally speaking) on both sides of the Atlantic, both pros and cons. Instead, she sticks to a very narrow British point of view.

While I would be willing to praise her taking the side of the disaster not often heard in America, I find it increasingly hard to give her any merit or credibility when she cannot get the simplest of facts straight. For instance, the ship's carpenter's name is John not Jim and it is well known by now that the photo she labels as being of John Jacob Astor is, in fact, not. Obvious errors aside, I find it a demerit in her favor that she relies heavily on Butler's Unsinkable.

While the book is an interesting and infuriating rant, it does not rise above editorializing what has become, whether the author likes it or not, a pop culture icon. As a historian, this book will reside in my collection. It is about Titanic and therefore automatically gets a place in my library. However, it will henceforth be taken out only to be used as a hard surface on which to place my notepaper or coffee whilst researching more credible sources.

Product Description

History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Current population growth is leading to a depletion in natural resources and could eventually cause irreversible damage to the environment. This book attempts to explain trends in the growth of the global population and the ecological consequences by blending the insights of analytical economics and behavioral ecology.

The book begins by looking at population from a long term perspective and considers the ecological influences before going on to examine the economics of population growth. Reproduction decisions of the family are then analyzed, and the welfare effect of these decisions on society as a whole are considered. Anup Shah pays particular attention to policies which could try to prevent or cure overpopulation. He asks whether there is a case for intervening in order to prevent overpopulation, and suggests that one way of reducing the effects of population growth is through technological advances which can help compensate for the adverse external effects. Finally, he examines the future of urban centers in the light of population growth.
