4 out of 5 stars Fascinating example essays, Advice from admission directors.......2003-02-12

I find the previous review disturbing. It is obviously the editor or author of the book giving themselves kudos.

I liked the book. It made me realize that the personal statement should not only be a self-marketting piece, but also be entertaining enough as to not get sorted into the circular file.

4 out of 5 stars Review of Perfect Personal Statements.......2001-12-08

Every year, college students across the country prepare to enter the workforce or graduate school. One important part of this process is writing a personal statement that describes and applicant's goals, experiences, and future plans. Mark Alan Stewart is an expert on graduate level entrance exams. His book, Perfect Personal Statements, provides information and advice for college students seeking admission to graduate and professional schools.
Stewart's book is easy to read and understand. He answers the common questions like, "How will my essay be evaluated?" and "Should I discuss that glaring blemish in my past, or should I ignore it?" Stewart also provides students with minor details, like how to dress for an in-person interview. Finally, the advice from medical, law, and business school experts could prove to be helpful. The experts provide specific information about what they look for in an application. Each type of school has different standards and it is beneficial to know what admission offices across the country like to see.
College students applying to graduate schools tend to be very busy. They don't have time to read a long and confusing book. Mark Alan Stewart seems to have kept this in mind. He has packed a lot of information into only 114 pages. The book is also divided into sections that allow the reader to quickly find information on certain subjects. Stewart's book helps to simplify the application process and provides students with strategies to prevent them from feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.

3 out of 5 stars Good not great.. but real example.......2001-02-19

The title said so. This is the guide for writing statement. Unlike other books, this book won't show the typical format. This book, however, shows the "real" statement of applicant who success. Many examples are interesting. Moreover, the guideline of recommend letter request is very good. It's not only for people who ask letter of recommendation, but also for the recommendation letter writter can see what they should said to thier students. I disagree with other reviewer that this book is not limited only Law, Business, and Medical school. It's true that the title said it and the examples are to Law, Business and Medical school. However, if you read it carefully, many examples and guidelines can be used in other school as well. This book is well written and organized. However, due to limited resource, example and guideline, this book is only in 3 stars.

3 out of 5 stars only good for law, business and medical school applicants.......1999-10-16

This book is nice for people applying to law, business or medical school but doesn't cover anything for other programs.

      Book Description

      David Gleicher and Lonnie Stevans present a theory of occupational wage rates that is a classical alternative to human capital theory. They introduce the "net employment reserve," a novel explanatory variable that measures the bargaining power of employees in an occupation. An econometric model which includes net reserves is designed and tested. Results suggest standard empirical tests of human capital theory are misspecified. Other topics include: the origin of the firm, screening hypothesis, wage-efficiency, internal labor markets, and labor-market segmentation. This work offers insight into the theoretical and econometric modeling of labor specialization, as well as wage-rate differentials among occupations. It addresses researchers and graduate students in labor economics, classical price theory, and general political economy. Gleicher and Stevans design an empirical study of the determination of occupational wage-rates, "testing" the net reserve against other hypothesized variables. Their first two chapters model relative wage rates within a broad classical conception: a simple model of relative prices is extended by incorporating relative wage rates according to occupation and training services. (The authors discuss the implications of these extensions with regard to the "labor theory of value.") A testable hypothesis is put forth in Chapters 3 and 4. The fifth and final chapter presents econometric results.

        4 out of 5 stars Not "that" Scott Thompson.......2002-06-28

        I found this enjoyable book by accident. I searched for books by "Scott Thompson" of "Kids in the Hall" fame, but I happened upon this little jewel. (It's not "that" Scott Thompson, but it's still a Scott Thompson I'd like to meet and call a friend!) At first I was a little worried. The title made me think I was going to be in for PFD humor...sort of like the Queens of Comedy (No, again, not Scott Thompson). This book is filled with good humor ideas that you can use as your own without giving credit to the author. Plus, it's not a very popular book, so no one will ever catch you. I had my friends in stiches with props I made by stitching. Literally! This book doesn't guarantee you'll become a college favorite like Carrot Top, but it won't hurt. A must have for any do-it yourselfer or amateur prop comedian.

        3 out of 5 stars Not What I Had Hoped For.......2001-08-18

        After just seeing Carrot Top's road show, I was hell bent on buying absolutely anything Carrotty! (He's amazing) But, when I bought this book, I was hoping for something a little more biographical. This book is full of prop pictures, and that's about it. And, it is not nearly as amusing as I thought it would be, which proves that the humor is mainly in Carrot's live delivery of the props. Not bad, but not great.

        5 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK EVER.......2000-11-20

        Hillarious from beginning to end.I couldn't belive a book could be this funny, or touching I found myself being moved at least fifty times. Carrot Top is a true genius.

Jung, draw upon the insights of depth psychology to delve into the meanings of TV programs like Star Trek and Fawlty Towers, movies such as The Piano and The Silence of the Lambs, and other contemporary media, as well as the public preoccupation with such issues as abortion, AIDS, the O.J. Simpson trial, and our enduring fascination with Elvis.

        "The Soul of Popular Culture" is a significant contribution not only to understanding contemporary culture, but also to comprehending what is going on beneath the surface in the collective life and psyche of America. The contributors to this volume have extensive experience in depth psychology, which gives their analyses a dimension one will never find in the typical movie review or newspaper commentary on some pop singer. For those wanting to understand the deeper currents of our time, this is a valuable contribution.

        Go ahead read the excerpt included here at Amazon. This looks like an example of what passes for scholarship these days: erudite academics discussing popular culture. I might have found this more entertaining, had I not been forced to look up so many complicated words used in the excerpt - words for which there are simpler, and equally effective equivalents in more common use. Fortunately I have a great on-line dictionary that served me well.
        When I was younger I may have found writing like this entertaining, but now I find it less so. So go read the excerpt here

        4 out of 5 stars Great little book .......2007-04-22

        I originally had this book on loan from the library when my baby was 7 weeks- about the time you start to wonder how you are supposed to fill the hours with your curious little bundle. Anyway, after having used the book so much I went ahead and purchased a copy. Love how it's a small book and the ideas (games/rhymes, etc) are sectioned out by age. Some of the rhymes or activities seem a little odd and ancient, and I wonder about their origin, but I've used enough of the material to make it a worthwhile and recommended purchase for new parents.

        4 out of 5 stars Good ideas for new parents.......2006-02-09

        When our baby was born I was of the mind set that I didn't want to rely on everyone else for child raising ideas. This put me in a difficult position because I've never been around babies before. So, I put away my pride but kept searching for ideas on my own too. That's how I found this book. Lansky has included a lot of great ideas for helping you interact with your baby in creative ways. I agree that it is not perfect (and am not sure that any book really is), but this can be easily overlooked due to the other very redeeming qualities.

        1 out of 5 stars Games we'd play anyway and some NEVER.......2005-02-26

        So I'm flipping through the book and thinking "Did I actually pay money for this?". So many of the activities were things that I (and many other parents) are already doing with our babies. Like playing with rattles, talking to your baby while looking in the mirror, kicking at toys, pointing to objects and saying the sounds they make, peek-a-boo, waving bye-bye... you get the idea. But the moment I knew I wanted to get my refund was when in the 0-3 months section, the author suggested going to the hardware store to buy a blank set of keys to put on a strong ring to "make great noise and be cool teethers". The thought of my infant's delicate gums knawing away at the sharp edges of metal keys--YIKES!!

        4 out of 5 stars Informative, but not colorful enough.......2004-07-08

        It's a good little book that can definitely help people who had no prior experience in baby handling. As a first time parent, I really appreciate the help!

        Vicky Lansky offers a book that is organized by appropriateness for each quarter of baby's first year, and includes wide variety of play activities. Each sector of the book (0-3 mo., 3-6 mo., etc.) is preceded by the summary of developmental milestones.

        However, in comparison to Baby Play (Gymboree) by Wendy S., Dr. Masi, Roni Cohen, Dr. Leiderman, this book lacks pictorial support. I have encountered a couple of activities that are not easy to follow just by reading the instructions. A simple picture or a photograph would eliminate this problem.

        4 out of 5 stars Sweet & Simple.......2004-01-31

        Tiny little book, broken up into birth to 3 months, 3-6 mo, 6-9 mo & 9-12 mo (95 pages) Quick and easy ideas for having fun with your little one.. this would make a nice gift for a baby sitter too! Sweet little book.

        5 out of 5 stars Making Unified Messaging Work.......2004-11-09

        In the beginning there was the telephone. Then there e-mail, and not long after came sophisticated voice messaging systems that replaced the simple answering machines. Then all of this kind of communications becan to converge. The combined communications capability became called Unified Messaging. Cisco's Unity server is the state-of-the-art in unified messaging systems. And this book seems destined to be the Unity Bible.

        This book covers unity. Part I, about a quarter of the book is on the concepts and architecture of the of the Unity system. A good bit of the material in this section covers features that are not discussed anywhere else.

        Part II, about a third of the book is on Deployment. Unity is a very flexible system. That means that the installer has many options to consider, and the use of these options involves tradeoffs.

        Part III is on the ongoing management and administration of a Unity system. What tools, for instance, are available to monitor the performance of the system and how to interpret the results that these tools give you.

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Dr. Mary Ann Segal came upon warnings of a fuel crisis shortly after 9/11. She was reading the New York Times Magazine and saw the article entitled, "2011", by Niall Ferguson, in which there were predictions that by 2010, due to increasing demands upon peaking oil, there would be a world-wide shortage, and the "price would become out of reach." Then on February 24, 2004, another Times article said the largest amount of the world's increasing demand was upon Saudi wells which are becoming tired. She considers it very fortunate that her mind had turned to wind/solar electrolysis of water for a universally useful, renewable, absolutely clean fuel, that would put a halt to the widespread threat of freezing and starvation, when oil was selling for out of reach prices, with an inadequate supply of barrels. Hydrogen could save civilization as we know it-if we jump in and make the infrastructure for hydrogen. It would certainly be a new frontier to do so, as hydrogen can replace all fossil and nuclear fuel. The warnings in the February 24, 2004 article suggested to her that within two or three years we would perhaps already be at the place that "20ll" put off till 2010. She began a manuscript to warn Americans to conserve fuel stringently, so that the supplies could be available for necessities, without over demanding the sources. One year passed without too much price pressure. But in 2005, the emergency emerged! Many people cannot afford the price of heating oil and natural gas and electric heat or even wood this year. Gasoline for cars is also high in price. Katrina and Rita complicated an already narrow margin. She expedited this manuscript with AuthorHouse, to get out an explanation of why we are in this shortage, and to offer suggestions and hope about what steps we could follow that could probably get us through this wilderness. She cares about every American and feels a profound need for unity amongst us to face this crisis with cooperation and dedication to one another, rich, just comfortable, and poor alike. We would be showing the world a new democratic example and new technical ecology. Her life experience prior to this most recent undertaking of hers is found on the last page of the book, "About the Author."
