The Art of the Business Lunch.......2007-04-17

This is a fabulous book for learning to entertain with sales in mind. It explains how to have a positive effect on others and sell yourself successfully during a meal or networking event. In today's world with the decline of social graces, this book is like a breath of fresh air. It gives practical and applicable tips and techniques to take relationships to a higher level. It teaches the importance of building solid relationships that will increase business. Great information...for anyone who needs to sell him/herself. I also had the opportunity to hear Robin Jay speak recently and the information she shared was solid gold.

For those who dont appreciate the usefulness of a business lunch.......2006-08-08

Dont know whether I had too high an expectation of it under the influence of its title "the ART of the ...." or the very favorable comment on the back cover and here on Amazon I had been a little bit disappointed. Perhaps I have been in the business for long so I truly believe that the ideas covered by the author should be readily practised by even the mildly successful sales or account executives. If you are a greenhand in the industry or you honestly consider yourself ignorant of business etiquette and networking, the book is still fine for you. However, if you want to read something of the advanced level, "Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time" by Keith Ferrazzi and Tahl Raz would be a much better but demanding choice.

Great advice to make any business relationship better.......2006-06-03

If building more productive business relationships interests you, you'll want to read The Art of the Business Lunch: Building Relationships Between 12 and 2 by Robin Jay.

Ms. Jay, the "Queen of the Business Lunch," explains that successful business relationships are built and enhanced at lunch. Better than a stuffy board room or office cubicle, a restaurant setting brings elements of class, style and fun to just about any business meeting. This outside-the-office setting allows people to get to know each other on a more personal level and personal relationships make for better business dealings.

The book is filled with excellent advice and interesting anecdotes on how to make all your lunch meetings more productive and successful. You'll discover how to create lunch opportunities, how turn every business lunch into a relationship building experience, which fork to use when, and so much more.

Even if you don't think of yourself as a salesperson, you'll still benefit from The Art of the Business Lunch. We all need to network productively and conduct ourselves in professional settings with grace and style; this book details just how to do that and so much more.

Disappointing.......2006-05-28

This book was a disappointment. The artwork on the cover is enticing. Essentially the book is a series of anecdotes with few tips or advice of real substance. A much better book has been written by an Australian author called "Charming up Profits". I would have to say that the book was a piece of sef-promotional self-indulgence doubtless designed to support the author's speaking engagements. I had expected so much more.

READ THIS BOOK!.......2006-04-29

This is an awesome book whether you are hosting or being hosted at any business function as it gives you much more than just "doing lunch". I have been in the retail/wholesale clothing business for over 18 years and sat on both sides of the table. This is a must read for anyone in the business world as it really goes into depth about the "art" of doing business in social settings. Now get this book then call someone and ask them, "Wanna have lunch?".

"A judge is merely a lawyer who has been benched.".......2004-03-07

I found this little book to be very entertaining.I have a lawyer friend and always pick up these "Lawyer" books for him when I see them.As a fan of one-liners these books are some of the best.
Usually the Lawyer jokes are pretty mean ,but this book tends more to good humor,wit and a lot of stories, experiences, plus some deep seated wisdom.The book gives the source of each quip and has a very helpful Index of Names where you can look for a quote.
For example:
Otto von Bismark,Prussian Prince (1815-1898)
"If you like laws and sausages,you should never watch
either being made."
This little,but thick book has 288 pages ,quotes from over 400
people giving one or two quotes and others giving 3,4 or 5.
These people come from every walk of life and will surely
include many of your favorite people.
Here,s what Mae West had to say:
"It ain't no sin to crack a few laws now and then,just so
long as you don't break any."
And here is another good one:

"FOR A GOOD TIME, HIRE A HOOKER.
FOR A LOT OF TIME,HIRE MY ATTORNEY."
-Prison wall graffiti-

A great little tome for a hot afternoon with a cool drink in the shade.

Book Description

Extensively illustrated with over 500 photographs, maps, diagrams, and tables, this unique reference source offers comprehensive coverage of this fascinating subject. The IEncyclopedia's 350 alphabetically arranged entries cover a wide range of topics, including biospeleology (by organism and by habitat); geoscience; cave archaeology and human use of caves; cave art; cave and karst history; hydrology and groundwater; conservation and management; and exploration, equipment, and rescue.

Many entries are devoted to important sites across the world, from individual caves such as Mammoth Cave (the world's longest cave) and Krubera (one of the world's deepest), through key regions such as the Dinaric karst and the Gunung Mulu World Heritage Site. The book also features broader examinations of cave and karst geography within individual countries and continents.

Written by an international team of experts, the essays progress from general concepts toward deeper understanding, explaining jargon for the non-specialist. Each essay is fully referenced, with suggestions for further reading and cross-references to related articles. Thematic content lists and a comprehensive index facilitate easy searching and browsing.

A wide-ranging and up-to-date reference work, the Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science is an ideal source for students and researchers, as well as professional hydrogeologists, planners, environmental scientists, and conservationists. It is also a perfect starting point for cave explorers or any general reader with an interest in caves. Also includes an 8-page insert.

Book Description

The physical world around us is shaped by the natural forces of the Earth--by the action of climate, rivers, earthquakes and volcanoes, oceans and glaciers, the geology of the planet, and the various forms of life that inhabit it. This lavishly illustrated new reference offers a uniquely
comprehensive examination of the ways in which these natural forces shape the Earth. The Introduction examines the larger forces that impact on the Earth; the Sun; the molten core of the planet; changing climates; cycles of water erosion, and nutrition; and humans. Covering twenty-two regions of
the world, the volume explores such topics as the Mississippi Basin (USA); the Andes (South America); hurricanes and other tropical storms (Central America); the mistral and other local winds (France); Mt. Etna and volcanic activity (Italy/Greece); causes of desertification (Northern Africa); and
earthquakes and tsunami (Japan and Korea).

Deserts are Cool.......2000-08-14

This book seems to have everything there is about deserts. I learned that deserts have lions, penguins, kangaroos, many spiders, scorpions and other animals, even fish and frogs. There are also many plants, with strange things like cactus and boojum trees. Even elephants live in the desert. I think the book is like an exploring trip from one desert to the other. I wish it had more pictures but it is easy to understand and has great maps. The book helped me write a report on deserts. I got an A. I would like to visit a desert to see what it is like to live there. I never knew deserts would be so interesting. They are too cool.

Best for the Novice.......2000-06-11

The strength of this book is the number of topics it covers. Its main weakness, though, is the same. By including so many topics, the reader actually learns very little. Even a child doing a class paper on a subject in this book would have to draw upon other resources. The book is best suited for people who have little or no knowledge of deserts. Unfortunately, that means kids. But most kids would never pick this book up since there isn't one colored photograph in the book. Even the black and white photos are not the greatest quality. For its size and price, the book was a disappointment. But then, I live in the desert so maybe I was hoping for something a bit more useful and informative.

Awful book.......2003-03-11

If you can, try to convince your prof not to use this book. I'm not kidding. I've always done well with physics, from high school (AP) and my previous semester course in college. This book, even though I'm familiar with most of the concepts, is AWFUL, and most of the students (myself included) in my class are struggling with it. The writing style, even as a physics book, is bland. The explanations and example problems aren't great.

In my mind, the worst is that it lacks answers in the back. And if you're like most of the students I know, you're accustomed to having the answers to the odd numbered questions in the back, just so that you know what you're doing or at least know whether or not you're right. Try Schaum or Cutnell; those are great

Czechoslovakian Miracle.......2000-12-21

The idea,the dialogs..everything here are clever and original...Hasek gives us a funny hero who you don't know if he is stupid or pretends the stupid in the chaotic disorganised Austrian army.The book is so entertaining,that actually cannot leave it from your hands...the most interesting is that "stupid"(?) Schweik is proved finally more clever than the other characters who search for glory,fame,recognition...who try to achieve something and gain something... This book is a Czechoslovakian Miracle...a masterpiece about a hero who has not the reputation of Alexander the Great or Napoleon...but somehow surpasses all the famous historical personalities...Scweik is the hero of Czechs and Slovaks without doubt.Read the book definitely...rarely you can find such stories and with many funny elements.

Modern Day Don Quixote.......1997-04-16

The story of the simple minded soldier Schweik is reminiscent of the misadventures of Don. Hasek never finished this book but that doesn't take the charm away from this satirical adventure story
