The Intuitive Businesswoman: Achieve Success Through the Power of Your Personality
Judy George , and Todd Lyon Manufacturer: Clarkson Potter ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0609604333 Release Date: 2000-05-23 |
Book Description
Why do some women gravitate toward the arts, while others are scientifically minded? Are some women natural-born entrepreneurs? How can co-worker A work in the midst of chaos, while co-worker B insists on keeping her office compulsively neat? An Intuitive businesswoman will tell you that it's all a matter of personality: the four archetypes of the Intuitive System.Amazon.com
Have you ever wondered how your colleague can wear an oversized, flower-print linen dress to meetings, when you feel your exceptionally pulled-together look is as important as a pulled-together presentation? Or why she seems eager to treat her support staff as though they were her children, while you keep personal friendships and conversations firmly where they belong--at home? Well, look at it this way: perhaps you're intuitively a Visionary and, by nature, she's got a sizable dollop of the Artisan in her. This may not convince you she's not slightly loopy, but it will, according to the authors of The Intuitive Businesswoman, provide you with empowering insights into what you do best and what you'd be smart to leave to others.Before you settle down to read, get out a pen and determine if you're predominantly a Visionary, an Artisan, an Idealist, or an Adventurer--the four archetypal personalities that Judy George and Todd Lyon describe, illustrate, and comment upon in this upbeat, informative book. The archetype quiz they provide is short, easy, and contemporary, and above all, more fun than the role-defining career tests we all took in high school. Don't expect to be neatly defined by one grouping; the authors don't expect you to be such an uncomplicated being, either. What they do suggest, however, is that in discovering the characteristics of a typical Visionary, for instance, and reading the stories of other Visionaries, both famous (like Elizabeth Arden) and not-so-famous (such as a literary agent who loves her job because of the "thrill of the hunt"), you'll soon be able to identify your truest type. This will then enable you to cherry pick from the advice the authors provide on matters such as managing your finances and your approach to money, interrelating with others at work, changing jobs or careers, starting a business of your own, and volunteering your time and money. Loaded with juicy informational sidebars and quirky quotes from all over the place, this book is not only a productive tool but a fun read. --S. Ketchum

An Adventurer/Artisan review.......2000-08-10
My business partner and I are both adventurers, go figure that two adventurers would found an Internet startup. Some of the archetypes can be deep rooted. Two years ago, I would have sworn I was more of an idealist - I was on a very straight career path - until I jumped ship. Moving from a non-profit healthcare consulting career to running artimix.com, a startup selling framed contemporary photography, was certainly a jump - an adventurous one at that! One caveat, don't let these categories pigeonhole you, you never know what will happen if you let it...

Just forms, which can be obtained for free.......2000-01-20
The book also promotes the author's company, which charges very high fees for simple incorporating services.
If you need sample bylaws, etc, get them from "Small Business Kit for Dummies," which has much, much more useful information and many other forms you can use. Don't waste your money on this book like I did.
Terse but useful book, for comparing incorporation states........1999-08-08
If you want to learn more about incorporation and what it means, look elsewhere. If you want a bare-bones incorporation guide that does cover the ground, is up-to-date and points to a company well-known for pioneering low-cost self-help incorporations, then this is a good book, and your money will have not been spent in vain.
The Title should end with "In Delaware".......1998-10-20

Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
Manufacturer: CABI ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0851991505 |
Book Description
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB International (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection, and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures, and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. The present book contains approximately 400 color illustrations, some of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets, planned for publication at the end of 1996.

Quarantine Pests for Europe: 2 Volume Set: Quarantine Pests for Europe and Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe (Cab International Publication)
M. J. Pearce Manufacturer: CABI ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0851992064 |
Book Description
A result of collaboration between the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL sponsored by the Commission of the European Union, this two-volume set contains data sheets and illustrations on pests of quarantine significance for Europe and the Mediterranean region. Coverage extends to insects, mites, fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and parasitic plants. The volumes also include organisms found outside Europe and the Mediterranean that present a risk to the region, as well as those which are present but have restricted distribution and are subject to phytosanitary controls. All 188 data sheets from the first edition have been revised, some data sheets covering groups of similar organisms have been split up, and 56 new sheets have been added, resulting in a total of 300 data sheets. This set represents the definitive reference source, not only for those with specific interests in plant quarantines, but also for all concerned with pest management.

The Clinical Biology of Sodium
A. R. Michell Manufacturer: Elsevier Science Pub Co ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0080408427 |
Book Description
A book for clinicians and basic scientistsThe pathophysiology of sodium is central to the management of a wide range of clinical conditions, notably liver disease, renal disease, cardiac failure, hypertension (including hypertension in pregnancy), oedema, diarrhoea, hypovolaemia, shock, the behavioural effects of hyper- or hyponatraemia and various endocrine disorders. Intensive care and fluid therapy depend crucially on sound management of sodium balance. No single clinical discovery has saved more lives at less cost than the fact that the fundamental impact of diarrhoea rests on disturbances of enteric sodium balance: the ability to restore net uptake by oral rehydration has converted cholera from a killer to a home-nursing disease. Yet if we look at animals, as well as humans, we realise that the gut is not just a source of sodium disturbances but, perhaps, a major regulator of sodium balance. We also realise that unless h

Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimetry
L. Boetter-Jensen , S.W.S. McKeever , and A.G. Wintle Manufacturer: Elsevier Science ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0444506845 |
Book Description
Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry), space dosimetry, and many more. In this book we have attempted to synthesize the major advances in the field, covering both fundamental understanding and the many applications. The latter serve to demonstrate the success and popularity of OSL as a dosimetry method.
The book is designed for researchers and radiation dosimetry practitioners alike. It delves into the detailed theory of the process from the point of view of stimulated relaxation phenomena, describing the energy storage and release processes phenomenologically and developing detailed mathematical descriptions to enable a quantitative understanding of the observed phenomena. The various stimulation modes (continuous wave, pulsed, or linear modulation) are introduced and compared. The properties of the most important synthetic OSL materials beginning with the dominant carbon-doped Al2O3, and moving through discussions of other, less-well studied but nevertheless important, or potentially important, materials. The OSL properties of the two most important natural OSL dosimetry material types, namely quartz and feldspars are discussed in depth. The applications chapters deal with the use of OSL in personal, environmental, medical and UV dosimetry, geological dating and retrospective dosimetry (accident dosimetry and dating). Finally the developments in instrumentation that have occurred over the past decade or more are described.
The book will find use in those laboratories within academia, national institutes and the private sector where research and applications in radiation dosimetry using luminescence are being conducted. Potential readers include personnel involved in radiation protection practice and research, hospitals, nuclear power stations, radiation clean-up and remediation, food irradiation and materials processing, security monitoring, geological and archaeological dating, luminescence studies of minerals, etc.

Three Men in a Boat and Three Men on the Bummel
Jerome K. Jerome , and Jeremy Lewis Manufacturer: Penguin Classics ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0140437509 |
Book Description
`Other works may excel this in depth of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable vivacity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it.' (Jerome, Preface to Three Men in a Boat). Three Men in a Boat describes a comic expedition by middle-class Victorians up the Thames to Oxford. It provides brilliant snap-shots of London's playground in the late 1880s, where the fashionable steam-launches of river swells encounter the hired skiffs of city clerks. The medley of social vignettes, farcical incidents, descriptions of river fashions, and reflections on the Thames's history, is interspersed with humorous anecdotes told by a natural raconteur. Three Men on the Bummel records a similar escapade, a break from the claustrophobia of suburban life some ten years later; their cycling tour in the Black Forest, at the height of the new bicycling craze, affords Jerome the opportunity for a light-hearted scrutiny of German social customs at a time of increasing general interest in a country that he loved. This account of middle-aged Englishmen abroad is spiced with typical Jeromian humour.Customer Reviews:

I give it two stars because the guy does make an honest stab at being funny. You will smile a few times because the observations are amusing, but the humor falls short too often.
