Buy this book. Every woman should learn Successful Language.......2002-01-30

My only reqret is that Dr. Mindell wrote "A Woman's Guide to the Language of Success: Communicating With Confidence and Power" after I had earned my masters degree (this book should have been required reading) and after I already became deeply entrenched in my current career. My goal is to use the principles taught in "Language of Success" to help me dig myself out of my work rut and into a higher-paying position.

Dr. Mindell's book is a "must-read" and a "must-do-what-you-read" book for every woman.

This book should be required reading for every woman whether or not she earned a high school diploma or college degree. If she works with, or for, people of any gender, this book should be mandatory reading.

This book should be required reading for any mother or guardian with any type of daughter (or with a son exhibiting timid tendencies) so that she could train her child to use the language of success principles that Dr. Mindell teaches.

The concepts provided are simple, yet powerful. The book is clearly written and Dr. Mindell even uses humor; this is not a "grammar" book.

A suggestion: before you read the book, take two or three minutes and write a pretend written memo directing "someone" to do an unpleasant task. You don't HAVE to do this to learn from the book but it will be fun and you can use the memo as a benchmark to learn about yourself and compare it to later business writing after you learn how to use the language of success.

I learned a lot about myself from "The Language of Success." I learned that there are a lot of changes that I need to make. They are simple changes, but until I read this book, I was totally unaware of how "weak" I come across in the business arena.

I instantly began to use Dr. Mindell's suggestions, right from the first chapter. I know that as I put her concepts into practice, that I will reach my professional and personal goals.

Example of two easy rules to improve your image are to:
1. Avoid using "like" as in: The presentation was like real good.
2. Avoid using "I think" when you really "know" something. Don't start a sentence by saying, "I think we really ought to do such and such." Just say, "We ought to do such and such."
etc., etc., etc.

Don't worry: the "Language of Sucess" principles won't turn you into a rude woman when you put them into practice, but they will improve your image of authority without making you appear overbearing.

Please buy this book if you are a woman--whether you work in your home or for a Fortune 500 business. Doesn't matter. Read it.
I wish I learned the principles of "Successful Language" when I was a child.

Great assertiveness handbook for women - empowering tips.......2000-11-07

Mindell brings a sharp focus to the words we use that take away our power - the tentative hesitancy built into language for women in our culture. Her ideas for sharpening word usage and using tighter assertive phrasing are a must for women to learn. I began a "power verb" list right away! I am recommending this book to everyone who takes my assertiveness classes.

A power-changer and a life-changer.......2000-07-19

I've put the author's theories into practice and seen dramatic changes in the power of my communications to co-workers. Learning to speak with power has helped me embrace my real authority . I'm buying more copies for the young women in my office. Once you learn what she has to say, you never go back.

A Woman's Guide to the Language of Success.......1999-12-17

A spectacularly helpful and insightful book for anyone, male or female! Mindell describes, in compelling detail, the exact ways in which women unknowingly use weak language that undercuts our authority, power and persuasiveness--and she shows how to fix the problem. Mindell believes that strong language empowers everyone and she teaches the reader how to communicate clearly, forcefully and effectively, with respect for your listener AND your own ideas. Whether you want to lead at the office or at home, this book will help you do so more successfully, and with greater pleasure.

Book Description

This book provides a description of German environmental law and provides the statutory texts in both the original German language and an English translation. It informs the reader of practice related problems and helps to overcome the language barriers. The book is meant for all those involved with decisions concerning the environment in a legal context. Neither environmental pollution nor the protection of the environment stop at individual national borders. Many international business organisations operating in Germany have to take the protection of the environment into account in their investment decisions. Foreign countries have a particular interest in German environmental law which, in an international context, is of a very high standard. This book emphasises those areas where German environmental law has special practical effects.

Good for mediocracy.......2000-07-07

I am a biology teacher who was looking for a book to help another teacher's student prepare for the SAT II's in Biology. I was attracted to this book because it seemed to have a lot of helpful test taking strategies and because it was a fairly easy read. The student I worked with, who had done very well in a competitive high honors biology class, did the entire book, and the two practice tests, yet she only scored a 650 on the real exam. In looking over other materials, I can now see that the Princeton Review manual is a lot less thorough, although it is clearer and more readable. Since many courses do not cover all the material on the exam, lack of thoroughness can mean the student does not get any exposure to several topics. If you are looking for an above average score, this book is certainly easier to follow, as well as more enjoyable. However, it is not for the person loking for the highest possible score. In addition, the amount of mistakes the book has is pathetic- for example, they left out how to score one of the tests!

The Princeton Review has a good reputation, but I am beginning to believe they are for the average to slightly above average level student. This is not the only book by them in which I have had a negative experience- I doubt I'll buy something from them again.

Recommended Book.......2000-05-09

The material in this book is easy to read (easier than Barrons). It doesn't get into the nitty gritty details but the important concepts were covered. It's good to read before you go to the textbook; it gives a general idea of the topic. Barrons went into a lot of details and for me their explanations were not that clear.

Pretty Good.......2000-04-18

It was a pretty good preparation. Though the review of Biology was pretty skimpy, the techniques for getting a higher score is Great! I am taking AP Biology right now, so I understand all of the info, but I am a bad test-taker, but this will give me the edge I need!

This Book is too Easy.......2000-03-08

This book took me about 10 seconds to read. When I finished, I thought I knew everything. Nope. I got a lousy 690 (about 10 points were becuase of this book and the other 680 because of my teacher). If thats what you want go for this book, if not get another one (still looking for a good one) Plus there are about 5000 mistakes

Too many mistakes. Covers just basics........2000-02-16

It's a shame they didn't proofread the book. The number of mistakes in the 1999-2000 edition which we bought in Spring 1999 rendered it totally unacceptable. [Just two examples of the types of careless mistakes found throughout: on page 27 the drawing of a peptide leaves out a double-bonded oxygen. In the first test there are two errors in the answer section: in one case the answer key gives the wrong letter for the answer (the explanation section is correct) and in another, the explanation section gives one letter for the answer but proceeds to explain why another one is correct. My son even found two mistakes on one page of the text; I wish I could remember which page.] These sorts of mistakes made it impossible to trust anything else in the book.

If they would remove all the mistakes it would be a very helpful, easy-to-read book for those who need quick help in order to score decently. For those striving to score in the top brackets (above 700), a "meatier" book like the Barron's is essential; this one is rather minimalist in its coverage of the material.

Ok.......2006-06-16

This book is an excellent source to study from for the sat II biology. However, there areonly 2 problems 1) it is wayy too boring for me to study from 2) it is extremely long.

+++++.......2000-05-15

This book was really helpful. It gave me all of the information on the test that we never covered in my Biology class, and the overlap was easy to skip past.

Excellent Study Guide.......2000-04-09

This book is very thorough and presents a complete, well-organized set of SAT II Bio review material. There were a few minor errors throughout the book, but it is a good preparatory tool for both the Ecology and Molecular Tests.

Book Description

Geology, one of the basic natural sciences, is proving to be of outstanding importance in solving problems relating to:

agriculture

The main objective of the book Medical Geology: Effects of Geological Environments on Human Health is to show how the geological environment affects human health and to explore preventative methods for improvement.

This monograph consists of the following five segments:

Introduction

Geological and other factors and their influence on the human health

Subject, tasks and methods of geomedical discipline

Regional medical geology

Applied medical geology

The topics covered in this book will be of interest to a wide circle of readers, including geologists, doctors, biologists, ecologists, planners and many others who are dedicated to the quality and protection of human health.

medical hydrology.......2005-09-16

This is a great book on medical geology. The chapters dealing with medical hydrology alone are worth the price. I don't know what the other fellow does who wrote a review, but I apply medical hydrology in the form of balneology and medical geology in the form of pelotherapy/moor therapy on a daily basis. This book brings in the European tradition of medical geology (which is applied much more in a medical setting than we do in America)and sheds light on this great healing tradition. Anyone interested in medical geology, medical hydrology, spa medicine, etc., would be better off having this text in their library. Period.

Lost in translation.......2005-07-19

Don't waste your time trying to read this poorly translated volume. Unfortunately, the publisher did not help the author or the field of medical geology by putting forth such a poorly translated book. For THE benchmark tome on this topic, see my review of ESSENTIALS OF MEDICAL GEOLOGY.

Book Description

This book provides a coherent and unified treatment of the fundamental physical processes involved in bubble dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. Of interest to a wide range of mechanical engineers, the study of cavitation and bubbly flows is applicable to topics ranging from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment, ship propellers, and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines and pumps of all sizes. Well-written and up-to-date, the book will prove indispensable to engineers and students needing a reference detailing the problems of cavitation and bubbly flow.

Book Description

This volume covers topics in cavitation bubble dynamics, sound and wave propagation in bubbly mixtures, bubbles in flow, sonoluminescence, acoustic cavitation, underwater explosions, and bursting bubbles at a free surface.
The physics and chemistry of sonoluminescence and the modelling of jet impact during bubble collapse are examples of issues which enjoy considerable attention. One of the most exciting areas of contemporary chemistry and physics is single bubble picosecond sonoluminescence. The high pressures and temperatures generated over picoseconds, coupled with previously unachievable rates of reaction have recently attracted attention. High temperatures and pressures are often associated with symmetric bubble collapse; however, asymmetric collapse can typically lead to the development of a damaging ultra-high-speed liquid jet that pierces the collapsing bubble. Occurrence of this high speed jet was reported at both the microscale in laser surgery and the large scale in underwater explosions, but it is also frequently present in collapsing cavitation bubbles.
The volume contains a wealth of information on the latest research on a range of topics in bubble dynamics, underwater acoustics and multiphase flow and is an essential reference for scientists and engineers conducting research in these areas.

Despite all the critical analyses, art histories, surveys, reviews, critiques, and articles we might read, there is no substitute for an artist's own words to inform us of his or her intentions and ideas. Published interviews provide such access. When reading this remarkable collection of 12 conversations between artists who are intimately familiar with each other's work, one feels a little like a voyeur or a fly on the wall. In these revealing interviews, artists discuss their relationship with their work and reflect on the culture in which they live, giving readers a deep understanding of their daily roles and struggles. They share their insights on such topics as AIDS, art history, craft, tradition, religion, and feminism, and their voices reflect a reassuring diversity. Some interesting pairings are Felix Gonzalez-Torres interviewed by Tim Rollins, and Anne Scott Plummer interviewed by Viola Frey. It is surprising to learn, for instance, that Gonzalez-Torres never worked in a studio for fear it would paralyze his creativity.

Book Description

In 1987, when A.R.T. Press began to document the current art scene, the publisher decided to avoid academic historians and ask the artists to interview each other. One result of the project is this lively collection of interviews between Mike Kelley and John Miller, Vija Celmins and Chuck Close, and Laurie Simmons and Sarah Charlesworth, among others. Dimension: 6 x 9 inches, 48 b&w reproductions.

valuable artist insight.......2000-12-18

This book provides a rare opportunity to see contemporary artists thoughts on thier work and the contemporary art environment through the sympathetic questions of other contemporary artists. I found that the questions were better and perhaps the answers were a little more frank (than you might find in a magazine like Bomb) because of the easy relationship and high degree of understanding that flows between these great artists. You don't find the dry pretention of some art history professor magazine editor butting up against the subtle distrust of an artist for the establishment- it's just plain ol' artist on artist. This book is worth it for the Mike Kelley interview alone. Why aren't more books put out like this? I highly recommend this book if you can find a copy (c'mon, you know anything dave hickey puts out has gotta be good)
