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.

In The Intuitive Businesswoman, Judy George and Todd Lyon show how understanding your inner Visionary, Artisan, Idealist, and/or Adventurer can help you achieve career wellness. After taking the lively Intuitive Quiz, discover which personality archetype, or combination of types, best represents you and start learning how to handle stress, relate to other personalities, and find success in the workplace. Along the way you'll find which style your colleagues, employees, and boss favor--thus enabling you to optimize your working relationships. Throughout the book, Judy and Todd use real-life observations and a witty perspective to demystify the personalities that fill the working world, and illustrate how everyone can find a path that suits her truest self.

Through in-depth interviews, the Intuitive System plays out in the real-life success stories of Ann Moore, president of People, Inc.; Rose Marie Bravo, CEO of Burberry; Shelly Lazarus, CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide; and many others. The Intuitive Businesswoman also looks back in history to such remarkable women as Josephine Baker (Adventurer), Laura Ashley (Artisan), and Grace Hopper (Idealist). Sections range from "Intuitive Financing" to "Playing Well with Others," and each chapter is peppered with fun sidebars that target each Intuitive type.

Whether you're in search of fulfillment, a raise, more free time, a friendlier work environment, a new career, or your own corner office, The Intuitive Businesswoman is an essential guide to making your personality work for you.

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

5 out of 5 stars useful information!.......2002-01-09

If you're like me and you've spent years figuring out what the heck you're supposed do with the skills you've been given, this is a great tool for helping you pull it all together. My artisan/adventurer labels were right on the money---so close, in fact, that I think I should go start a new business right now! If you've got an open mind and a searching heart, The Intuitive Businesswoman can give you some direction.

5 out of 5 stars Intuitive Businesswoman.......2000-09-07

Judy George is just brilliant in her assessments. Her representations are vital for those looking for another way to look at their lives, careers, etc. She offers the ecouragement to start today and do not wait for tomorrow. Anyone fortunate enough to hear her speak about her journey to the top, comes away with feeling as though they have just made a new friend. Judy is engaging, witty and charming; and not afraid to share those qualities and her soul with you. Hurrah for Judy George-and I love her furniture!!!Viva Domain.

5 out of 5 stars An Adventurer/Artisan review.......2000-08-10

I have read many books that highlight the importance of identifying what motivates each employee. Judy and Todd's book actually gives you a tool to identify these individual motivators based on whether the employee is a visionary, adventurer, artisan or idealist or a combination thereof.

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...

5 out of 5 stars I'm not crazy!.......2000-07-14

So this is why I've spent much of my career feeling like everyone around me was crazy: they were! Or at least, they were not my "type", or I wasn't theirs. I would have saved years of angst, frustration and sleepless nights if I'd had this book, and the personality archetype quiz years ago when i was just starting out. An especially invaluable tool for insight into one's relationships in the workplace; gives perspective if you've been working a long time. It would be especially great for young women just starting out trying to make decisions and choices about their future and career.

2 out of 5 stars Something's fishy here.......2000-06-28

The book was OK. Just OK. I skipped around, wasn't terribly impressed. (Could be that it just wasn't my kind of book.) But all five of these 5-star reviews singing the praises of a book by Judy George -- chairman and CEO of Domain, the Boston-based home furnishings chain -- come from, yup, the Boston area. Well. Need I say more? Except that it irks me to no end to see these reviews, which people expect to be honest appraisals and not marketing ploys, skewed like this.

1 out of 5 stars Just forms, which can be obtained for free.......2000-01-20

This book is horrible. First it focuses on incorporating in Delaware, and gives you most of the necessary forms for that state as well as basic forms 40 other states (no explanation why 9 states were excluded). These forms and instructions are all downloadable from the states' Web sites anyway, so this book is pretty much useless.

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.

3 out of 5 stars Terse but useful book, for comparing incorporation states........1999-08-08

This book indeed concentrates on Delaware, but does offer incorporation procedures and fees for every state in the USA (as far as I could see, anyway). It's entirely adequate, if extremely lacking in the sort of explanatory babble that one might desire from such a book.

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.

3 out of 5 stars The Title should end with "In Delaware".......1998-10-20

The book is very informative and helpful, and gives the reader a good background on what is required to create a corporation. The weakness of the book is that it focuses on creating a corporation in the State of Delaware. And does not warn the reader of this until they begin reading the book. All the forms and information provided relate to creating a corporation in Delaware. If that is the objective of the reader, then this is a very useful book. If one is planning on creating a corporation in another state then this book may not be very useful.

1 out of 5 stars Great Book -- Not So Great Study Guide.......2001-12-11

The book provides valuable insight into developing leadership qualities. However, the study guide seems to only confuse the issue and does a less than adequate job of helping apply the truths contained in the book. I would recommend that anyone interested in being a leader read the book, but avoid the study guide.

5 out of 5 stars Good Book!.......2001-11-02

5 out of 5 stars great companion to the book.......2001-07-17

This is a companion guide to the book "21 Irrefutable Laws" and is designed as such. When used in conjunction with the text and the accompanying tape series, the study guide can be invaluable to developing leadership.

1 out of 5 stars Doubletalk leadership.......2001-06-24

Although it purports to be about what one does to become a leader, this book sadly confuses cause and effect. The opening chapter, on "The Law of the Lid", is mostly anecdotes about people who have been more successful than others, because they had more leadership capability. The second chapter on "The Law of Influence" explains that leaders have influence, so if you want to be a leader, be influential. Being stubborn, and optimistic, I read about half the chapters, but finally gave up and returned the book.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Read!.......1999-09-16

This was a great book. Anyone in leadership needs to read this book. A must read for anyone in Spiritual leadership.

      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.

        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.

          Book Description

          A book for clinicians and basic scientists

          The 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

            Book Description

            Recent progress has led to a better understanding of the molecular structure of sodium channels, how they work and the mechanisms that restrict their expression to particular cell types.

            This book explains how these channels are modulated in various pathological states to enable the development of therapeutic strategies based on sodium channel restoration.

            The authors present the most current research on sodium channels and

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.

                    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.

                    5 out of 5 stars Just Delightful.......2007-06-05

                    What a delightful read! The book weaves the happenings of a current boat trip with stories of previous trips and experiences. It is hillarious, laugh-out-loud funny in a lot of spots. The language is superb and the research section is very helpful. All in all a great read!

                    4 out of 5 stars Mediumly funny, but dry humor (except where they fall overboard!).......2007-04-20

                    I liked it, but then I have a dry wit as well. It is two books in one publication and so it is good value. It also came from an age where the average folk could afford to buy books. So it is very colloquial in content. The sort of "you could be out having fun" too sort of tale. And yet most of us could easily replicate a journey like their's either rowing up the Thames or biking in Germany.

                    So not a laugh a minute slapstick stuff but definitely funny. On the other hand if you are worried, buy a used copy some of them are quite cheap. Or get it from the library.

                    5 out of 5 stars How have I missed these books for so many years?.......2005-06-10

                    I was going to hold off on glowing reviews for a bit, but I couldn't resist commenting on this book. I'm not even sure how I stumbled on Jerome, but I found Three Men on the Bummel about as funny as anything I've read in a long while. Bummel is about three Englishmen from the Victorianish era heading off for a bike trip through the Black Forest. I've studied German off and on for a few years, so I got a kick out of Jerome's comments on the language and people, and with the driest of dry observations energized by a bit of hyperbole it was the rare book that had me laughing out loud. Both stories are very funny, but Three Men on the Bummel was laugh out loud funny to me, and his observations on the German people (pre-WWII) were uncannily prescient. He was an unusually perceptive and observant writer, to say the least.

                    As an aside, I've noticed most people seem to find Three Men in a Boat the funnier of the two, but you really can't go wrong with either, in my opinion. Both stories are similar, they involve a bungling, but not too bungling, English fellow getting in a bit over his head with his mates, and the use of humorous exaggeration is about as well done as you ever see it in print. For a Wodehouse, etc fan- these are in must read territory.

                    2 out of 5 stars Only slightly humorous.......2002-12-10

                    I'm a little surprised that so many people found this book so humorous. After reading this little travelogue I would say that I snickered about, oh... twice, and was stupefyingly bored for most of the read. This book put me to sleep in mid-chapter for many nights, and they are very short chapters.

                    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.

                    1 out of 5 stars An enjoyable author, but the book is physically too big........2007-05-08

                    I'd recommend both the author and his work but not in this format. A paperback that is nearly 10" by 8" by 2" is too heavy and clumsy to hold and read. I've already dropped it a couple times and I'm hoping I can finish reading it before the binding starts to go. Too expensive a purchase to last through only one reading.

                    This book offers an extremely rare opportunity - to own most of JKJ's works in one volume at a terrific price! I have been collecting Jerome K. Jerome's books for years; editions ranging from early 20th century to contemporary paperbacks. And now I have them all, the works of the greatest, the most brilliant humorist ever born (to say nothing of his punctuation!)

                    1 out of 5 stars Terribly disappointing.......2007-02-08

                    Unless you must have the text of these 14 Jerome K. Jerome books, don't waste your money (as I regret doing) on this terribly disappointing volume. It's densely printed, in two columns per page, in a rather small typeface, and has none of the illustrations that the original books had and that, for me, added much to their charm. I opened this volume once, and immediately put it straight into my bag of "Books to be Discarded."

                    Three men in a boat is a fantastic read - the mix of comedy and adventure is perfect and it captures the Victorian era to a 't'.

                    I therefore had high hopes of the sequel, Three men on the bummel. Unfortunetly I can not praise it. The laugh aloud comedy element has given way to, at beast monologues you smile through, at worst, ones you want to skip. The adventure is in short supply and doesn't sit well with the comedy. A real shame.

                    5 out of 5 stars What could possibly go wrong?.......2005-02-03

                    Three Englismen decide to go on holiday in Germany. They plan to take their bicycles; they will travel by train between the major cities and do day trips by bike. What could possibly go wrong?

                    The answer is EVERYTHING! You will laugh yourself sick.

                    I'm surprised that this hasn't been made into a film or a TV series; get some of the guys from Monty Python, or the guys who played James, Tristan and Sigfried on "All Creatures Great & Small".

                    5 out of 5 stars Humorous tales of cycling the Black Forest.......2004-01-13

                    I read this book--which I assume is a fictionalized account of an actual journay--after having spent a year in Germany and I bemused by the fact that the Germans that Jerome K. Jerome characterizes in this book (published in 1900) are very similar to those of the present day. Added to this, is the fact that the book is mainly set in the Black Forest region of Germany, which is where I stayed. So not only was this book humorous and entertaining, it rekindled fond memories as well. The writing I fear will disillusion the more casual reader, but for those who have the inclination, this book is a very worthwhile read.
