Book Description

The key to good organization is not a one–size–fits–all method. It is a unique plan that considers personality type, lifestyle, income level, and family schedule. Author and speaker, Karen Ehman believes that with her simple step by step process moms can recognize their own personal style of managing their households successfully and develop a unique plan that gives them the freedom to:

manage their time wisely
de–clutter and organize their homes
plan menus, shop more efficiently, and become more comfortable and creative in the kitchen
get children involved in pursuing an ordered life and home
avoid the trap of overcommitment
use practical tools to assist in organization

Getting and staying organized means more time for the important things in family life—concentrating on cultivating a close, personal relationship with the Creator, drawing His word into every aspect of living, and ultimately tying their children’s heartstrings to God.

Best Investing Book I Have Ever Read.......2002-07-22

This book lays the foundation for making money in the markets. It is clear and to the point. The only book you really need.

UP 45% LAST YEAR THANKS TO THIS BOOK!!.......2000-08-12

I'VE COMPLETELY AVOIDED THE INTERNET HIGHFLYERS-THEY DON'T GENERATE FREE CASH FLOW. ON THE OTHER HAND THE BOOK PUT ME INTO COMPANIES WHOSE UNDERVALUED STOCKS QUICKLY TURNED AROUND WITH THERE LOW DEBT HIGH FREE CASH FLOW. I PARTICULARLY LIKED THE WAY THE AUTHORS LOOK AT CORPORATE FAT

Not Helpful.......2000-02-07

I re-read sections of this book on cash flow analysis and found it much less useful than 5 years ago when I read the first edition. The market does not care anymore about smaller high free cash flow and low debt companies.

I've made 33% a year by buying growth stocks!.......1999-08-03

I buy growth stocks - not small to mid-cap deep value basic industry cyclicals. Buy Growth not Value! FREE CASH FLOW ANALYSIS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!

I'VE AVERAGED 27% PER YEAR DUE TO THIS BOOK.......1999-07-24

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK 5 YEARS AGO. WHILE I MISSED OUT ON MANY STOCKS THAT DOUBLED, I ALSO ESCAPED STOCKS THAT FELL IN HALF-OR MORE. I HAVE TURNED IN VERY CONSISTANT RETURNS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME-WHAT'S WRONG WITH 27% PER YEAR?

Capitol Punishment. As other reviewer here
stated, not for the faint hearted!

Great Details.......2002-04-16

This book is not for the weak of heart. The author puts his biases aside and just clearly explains what goes on in this part of the American criminal justice system. He takes you through the equipment used and the manufactures of the equipment. He looks over the legal framework for the convicted man / woman. The process of actually testing and performing the sentence. He also spends some time talking to people that are for and against the method of punishment. All in all this is a very interesting and well-done book that tells the reader everything they would want to know about this process. If you are interested in law enforcement, the BoP or criminal law then I would suggest finding a copy of this book.

Interesting and Informative.......2000-05-20

An excellent look inside the death penalty system including the creator of the lethal injection machine and interviews with death row inmates. It's informative and tries to remain detached (tough in places), but is a very worthwile and honest look into the engine that drives the system.

Should be required reading in the US........1999-02-15

After reading this, you can't be in any doubt that the Death Penalty, no matter how it is carried out, is a "cruel and unusual punishment". Lots of history, as well as interviews with prisoners (many of whom have since been excecuted) make this a well-rounded read. I just hope that this book's reach goes beyond the converted.

Too technical I did not find it interesting.......1999-01-14

The books focus mainly on technical gadgets and stuff, is not hard to put it down I expected an insight story about how offenders feel the last day of his life, overall dissapointing

Excellent textbook.......2007-08-16

This is the best, most up to date book on the subject that I know of.

Magill has done such a good job with "R cubed" as some people call it, that it is a suggested introductory text and is offered for sale in the book stores of several well respected international research organizations.

One of the biggest challenges in science is to keep up with the flood of information. Magill's book is the most current available.

Book Description

The purpose of this book is to present a state of art summary of current knowledge of methods of assessment of radionuclides in the terrestrial and marine environments. It cover the traditional methods of radioactivity measurements such a radiometrics techniques, but also recent developments in the mass spectrometry sector. The book starts with a short preface introducing the subject of the book, summarising content and philosophy of the book, as well as the most important historical achievements. The scientific topics are introduced by description of sampling methods, optimisation of sampling sites and sampling frequency. The recent developments in radiochemical separation methods using chromatography resins for the treatment of actinides, transuranics and other groups of radioelements are also described. No other book is available covering all aspects of environmental radioactivity measurements, although remarkable progress has been made in detection techniques over the last ten years. At present the new methods enable to carry out investigations which were not possible before, either because of lack of sensitivity or because of the fact that they required too large samples.

Book Description

Many environmental processes are influenced, if not controlled, by microbial action and it is becoming increasingly important to develop an understanding of microbial roles in geochemistry. This book brings together state of the art research into microbiological processes and the extent to which they affect or can be used to control radioactive elements. The basic principles and fundamental mechanisms by which microbes and radionuclides interact are outlined, the methodology described, potential microbial influences on waste repositories examined, direct and indirect effects on transport both on local and global scales considered and potential technological applications identified.

The book is directed towards advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and researchers in the areas of environmental radioactivity, environmental microbiology, biotechnology and radioactive waste management. It will also be of interest to regulators, policy makers and non-governmental organisations.

This novel and timely book offers a fully integrated approach to a topical international issue.

Description:
The results of our study revealed a local biologically relevant surface water contamination in the radionuclide anomaly in the north of Russia (Perm region) by means of Allium schoenoprasum L. anaphase-telophase chromosome aberration assay. This radionuclide anomaly was formed in 1971 as a result of an underground nuclear explosion with soil excavation. Specific activities of main dose-forming radionuclides in all examined reservoirs are below intervention levels officially adopted in Russia for drinking water. We found that ^9^0Sr significantly contributes to induction of cytogenetic disturbances. Our previous data and the data described here suggest that metal and radionuclide combined exposure (with the dose below permissible exposure limits for human) may cause substantial biological effects. These effects are in part due to synergic response. The findings described here indicated that development of a new concept of radiation protection for humans and biota should be based on the clear understanding of biological effects of low doses of radiation in chronic exposure to multi-pollutant mixtures.

Description:
Thirty-two samples of concrete building blocks were collected from different block making industries in Ibadan. The radioactivity concentrations of the natural radionuclides in the samples were determined by gamma-ray spectrometry with a NaI(Tl) detector. The radioactivity concentrations varied from 6.2 to 57.5Bqkg^-^1, 12.4 to 64.9Bqkg^-^1 and 95.3 to 766.1Bqkg^-^1 for ^2^2^6Ra, ^2^3^2Th and ^4^0K, respectively. The radium equivalent activities of the 32 samples varied from 51.3 to 175.7Bqkg^-^1. Radiation exposure levels in 30 dwellings were determined using LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters. The annual equivalent dose rates varied from 0.318 to 0.657mSvy^-^1 with a mean of 0.433mSvy^-^1. The annual effective dose rate to the whole body was calculated as 0.236mSvy^-^1, which is less than that (mean) estimated by UNSCEAR for normal background areas.

Book Description

This major new reference work contains radioactive decay data on radionucleides with radioactive half-lives of more than ten minutes. For each radionuclide, the various emissions are tabulated by type, energy and yield. The tables have been designed to facilitate use of the book for dosimetric calculations and in the identification and assay of radionuclides in experimental studies and in monitoring. The nuclear data presented were used to compute the Annual Limits on Intake for workers given in ICRP Publication 30 and are complementary to that publication. Radionuclide Transformations avoids the major deficiency of previously published standard reference works on this subject by presenting the data for ease of use; for example, self-consistent decay energies and yields are given for all emissions, and yields are specified in absolute terms, rather than relative to a particular strong emission. The data in this volume can consequently be applied directly to dosimetry or radionuclide assay.

Book Description

In this evocative account, Norman Davies provides a key to understanding the social and political inheritance of modern Poland. Beginning with Solidarity and the immediate concerns of the period since 1945, Davies works backward through time to highlight the themes and traditions of the past
which are still alive in the present. Davies shows that Poland is the heart of Europe in more than just the geographical sense--it is a country whose fate is a matter of vital concern to European civilization as a whole.

Fine Historical Argument.......2006-05-20

In the preface to the first edition published in 1984, Norman Davies writes, "No history book which sets out to relate the past to the present is written at the right time." Davies For Davies, the time he chose was 1983 - a few years into Jaruzelski's military coup and what appeared to be a definite lull in the historical action. 1983, as it turns out was also on the cusp of the great changes that the fall of communism had in store for the world by the end of the 1980's.

This is also where the book begins and then proceeds in a reverse chronological fashion to cover 5 separate periods of history including first, the period of the People's Republic (1944-1983), second, the period encompassing World War II (1939-1947), third, World War I and the interwar period (1914-1939), fourth, history during the Partitions (1795-1918) and fifth, historic Poland (history prior to 1795).

Davies then returns to 1983 to demonstrate the "past in Poland's present" or as Davies more eloquently puts it, "Such is the burden of History in Polish consciousness, that any full appreciation of the Polish crisis requires a full examination of the way in which the chief actors on the political scene perceived their roles in relation to the nations traditions." The next chapter is (now) a misnomer entitled "Beyond History" in which Davies reflects on the state of affairs in 1983 and is looking forward to the not-to-distant future. This chapter was the last chapter of the First and Second Editions and, as it turned out, Davies did not have to wait long before the not-to-distant future arrived in 1989 in which the People's Republic melted away. This inspired a new chapter for the 3rd edition entitled "Liberation" and covers the period from 1983 to roughly 2000.

Davies' work has a two-fold purpose. The first purpose is to demonstrate that one who has recourse to history can more fully understand and appreciate the significance of present day events. That is not to say that the past predetermines the present, but it is to say the present loses its meaning and significance without its relation to the past.

The second purpose was to show that although much of Poland's past lies at the intersection of East and West (or to use Samuel Huntington's formulation, between the Western Civilization and the Orthodox Civilization), Poland's proper place is in the West and it was Davies' hope when he first published that Poland would move out of the Soviet orbit and back into the Western world. Those hopes were realized when Poland joined NATO and the EU.

Davies' work is not so much history as it is historical argument and, as such, is a fine historical argument. If one is looking for a more traditional history, I would recommend M.B. Biskupski's "The History of Poland" (short), or Adam Zamoyski's "The Polish Way" (medium) or Norman Davies' "God's Playground" (long).

Excellent.......2005-01-28

Well written book, takes a very comprehensive look at the history of not just Poland, but the entire region, and the forces that shaped it. The narration is reverse-chronological, starting with the most recent events, and tracing them back in history. It's worth reading just for his thesis about Poland's history bein characterized by cycles of great idealism and great pragmatism - a paradoxical merger, but one that works to this day.

Typical brutal reply of the barbarian.......2004-11-17

(...)
Apparently for (...) history of Central Europe there is a huge black hole beginning XV century till the end of XVII century. This is not very surprising considering that in one of the previous 'reviews' she/he mentions 'typical slovian brutality'. The hatered that shouts from those reviews is disturbing. What kind of 'typical hatered' it is?

I could argue that for few centures territory of Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth has been fairly quiet patch of tolerance in Europe (compared with Western Europe). That Poland really did not start second world war and Polish really did not support Hitler. That Poland lost 6 million citizens (3 million of them of Jewish origin).
Of cause Poland ais not saint of nations, no nation is. If one wants one can find many shamefull episodes in the history. But the same can be said about English (colonialism, slavery), Americans (extermination of Indian tribes), Jews (what did American Jews do to help European ones?, what is their policy towards Palestinians? - just to give modern time examples) and so on.
The opinions like Mrs/Mr Wing ones just made it plain that there is the need for books concerning Central Europe history. Maybe in the future there will be no American asking Pole, Czech, Slovakian or Ukrainian if there are still open concentration camps or if their countries border with China.

Instead of eating books one should read them and try to understand.

Not Just History.......1999-12-04

But sociology and psychology as well. I have been trying to educate myself in the area of European History over the course of the last year or so. As an introduction, I bought "Europe: A History" by Davies. After that overview, I have acquired other titles that focus on specific topics on European history such as "Heart of Europe: A Short History of Poland." As a novice, I have no qualifications to challenge the history. I have a problem with the style. Mr. Davies, perhaps as someone who "feels" history, spends a great deal of effort addressing the sociological and psychological consequences of the various historical events. If Mr. Davies were to describe a car accident, he would include descriptions of how the passengers and by-standers felt and what it was that might have caused them to do what they did next. For me, I would rather have the facts reported as if they were a newspaper article. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book for the factual information.

Sometimes a fresh look at some old controversies.......1998-12-14

Davies ruffled feathers of academics especially with his perspective on the fate of Jews in Poland during WW II. Poles often are presumed guilty of "not doing enough" to help Jews escape the Nazis. Davies argues that Poles were also in need of help and not in any position to offer others much help. His argument conflicted with views generally held by Jewish intellectuals and others and he had claimed that their influence had him removed from a proposed teaching position at a university. In any case, the book should be read as a serious contribution to understanding Polish history, and not as a polemical threat to anybody's "ironclad" notions.
