      4 out of 5 stars one of the best NLP resources for trainers.......2001-04-21

      After looking around for a while, I must admit that it is the best book about training I've found (as long as you're not involved in the classic education). The book offers a good and complete overview of what training is all about. If you know something about training, you will find out how much you already know. A nice feature of this book is its use of brain maps to offer a section overview, and really each chapter ends with an overview, offering the key points. My conclusion? If you want to know about training, get this book! If you want to get training in training, follow a seminar!

      exciting training for high technology companies such as
      the Big 3 Auto Companies.

                Book Description

                A century ago, most Americans had ties to the land. Now only one in fifty is engaged in farming and little more than a fourth live in rural communities. Though not new, this exodus from the land represents one of the great social movements of our age and is also symptomatic of an unparalleled transformation of our society.

                In Children of the Land, the authors ask whether traditional observations about farm families—strong intergenerational ties, productive roles for youth in work and social leadership, dedicated parents and a network of positive engagement in church, school, and community life—apply to 300 Iowa children who have grown up with some tie to the land. The answer, as this study shows, is a resounding yes. In spite of the hardships they faced during the agricultural crisis of the 1980s, these children, whose lives we follow from the seventh grade to after high school graduation, proved to be remarkably successful, both academically and socially.

                A moving testament to the distinctly positive lifestyle of Iowa families with connections to the land, this uplifting book also suggests important routes to success for youths in other high risk settings.

                  Book Description

                  Dramatic progress is a trademark of the recent study of globular cluster systems. Considerations about the formation and evolution compose the first chapter, followed by a chapter on young star clusters. Then come four chapters reviewing the globular cluster system of early-type, late-type and dwarf galaxies, as well as of groups of galaxies. One chapter is dedicated to stellar population models and their applications to the field. Finally a chapter reviews the kinematics of galaxies derived from globular cluster systems and another their role in the context of galaxy formation and evolution studies. As a whole, the book gives an up-to-date view of the field at the beginning of the new decade, which will without doubt again bring significant progress in our understanding of globular cluster systems and galaxy formation and evolution.

                      Book Description

                      Diagnostic checking is an important step in the modeling process. But while the literature on diagnostic checks is quite extensive and many texts on time series modeling are available, it still remains difficult to find a book that adequately covers methods for performing diagnostic checks. Diagnostic Checks in Time Series helps to fill that gap. Author Wai Keung Li--one of the world's top authorities in time series modeling--concentrates on diagnostic checks for stationary time series and covers a range of different linear and nonlinear models, from various ARMA, threshold type, and bilinear models to conditional non-Gaussian and autoregressive heteroscedasticity (ARCH) models. Because of its broad applicability, the portmanteau goodness-of-fit test receives particular attention, as does the score test. Unlike most treatments, the author's approach is a practical one, and he looks at each topic through the eyes of a model builder rather than a mathematical statistician. This book brings together the widely scattered literature on the subject, and with clear explanations and focus on applications, it guides readers through the final stages of their modeling efforts. With Diagnostic Checks in Time Series, you will understand the relative merits of the models discussed, know how to estimate these models, and often find ways to improve a model.

                        Book Description

                        Slade Cutter's heroic feats as an athlete and World War II submarine commander left an indelible mark on the U.S. Navy. From a humble upbringing on a Depression-era farm in Illinois, he became one of America's most formidable and decorated officers of the war, earning four Navy Crosses and a Presidential Unit Citation as the commander of a submarine in the Pacific that sank twenty-three ships. His brilliant tactics and unusual exploits are the stuff of legends, yet no biography has been previously published about him. Now, with complete and exclusive access to Cutter, who lives in Annapolis, journalist Carl LaVO presents a remarkably candid portrait of the storied captain. He draws on countless interviews with Cutter and with many of his shipmates and admirers, as well as a few detractors. Cutter's own views about his naval career and the inner ticking of the Navy's hierarchy are always forthright and make a unique and memorable contribution to the official record.

                        The biography also pays welcome attention to Cutter's athletic achievements at the Naval Academy in the 1930s. A charter member of the College Football Hall of Fame, he single-handedly beat Army in 1935 to end a thirteen-year losing streak for the midshipmen. An undefeated collegiate heavyweight boxer often compared with the great Joe Lewis, Cutter says he never regretted turning down an offer to become a professional and vie for the world heavyweight championship. The book offers a parade of colorful figures that played a role in Cutter's life, from his pre-Annapolis days to his post-war cruise aboard the nation's first atomic sub, his stint as the Academy's athletic director, and service as captain of a cruiser in the Bay of Pigs operation in Cuba. LaVO's honest account of this national hero and Cutter's own insights into the Navy of the mid-twentieth century make exciting reading for a broad range of readers. 15 photographs. Bibliography. Index. 6 x 9 inches.

                        This book depicts Captain Cutter's life very well. The book is not only about his heroic feats as a Captain in WWII, but in other areas of his life as well. In everything Captain Slade Cutter attempted he did it with integrity and passion.

                          COLONEL ROOSEVELT

                          Theodore Roosevelt Goes to War, 1897 - 1898

                          His celebrated charge up San Juan Hill made him an American icon—a roughshod, take-charge leader in the glorious service of his young and ambitious nation. For Theodore Roosevelt, it was a defining moment, the scene with which he would become most often associated. And, as H. Paul Jeffers shows in this lively new account, the now-legendary episode not only made the future president's political career, it took center stage in a "splendid little war" that Roosevelt himself orchestrated almost single-handedly.

                          Colonel Roosevelt is an exciting and thoroughly captivating portrait of a man and a country at a crossroads. The Spanish-American War of 1897-1898 was the shortest conflict in American history. Yet it played a pivotal role in propelling the United States onto the twentieth-century world stage—along with the man whose nationalistic and military ideals were most responsible for bringing it about. With his keen eye for characterization and rich period detail, Jeffers captures the spirit of a newly industrialized nation with dreams of the spoils of empire hitherto reserved for her European rivals, a country flexing her newfound muscles.

                          No man more clearly exemplified late nineteenth-century notions of manifest destiny than Theodore Roosevelt. And no man was more willing to wage war to fulfill them. As Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Roosevelt dreamed of a massive two-ocean navy capable of exerting American influence around the world. Going to war against an aging Spain, with Cuba as the prize, seemed the perfect way to make his dream come true.

                          The events and colorful personalities of this crucial period come to vivid life in Colonel Roosevelt, from William Randolph Hearst and Henry Cabot Lodge, to Richard Harding Davis and Stephen Crane. Here, too, is the personal side of Theodore Roosevelt, much of it revealed in his own words. It is a candid glimpse of the blunt man behind the historic figure, relishing the swirl of international tensions he so vigorously helped to stir.

                          From the parlors of power in Washington to the dust-choked backroads of Cuba, from the epic sea battles around the Philippines to the legendary charge up San Juan Hill, this vigorous account of Teddy Roosevelt at his finest hour is compelling biography and fascinating military history.

                          "I had very deeply felt that it was our duty to free Cuba, and I had publicly expressed this feeling; and when a man takes such a position, he ought to be willing to make his words good by his deeds. He should pay with his body." —Theodore Roosevelt

                          It was the shortest conflict in American history. Yet, for the pugnacious, saber-rattling "jingo" who helped bring it about, the Spanish-American War of 1897-1898 would be the stepping-stone to notoriety, a governorship, and, ultimately, the presidency. A rousing portrait of a fascinating period and a one-of-a-kind man on his way to becoming a legend, Colonel Roosevelt is H. Paul Jeffers's brilliant follow-up to his critically acclaimed Commissioner Roosevelt. The power plays, political intrigues, and military adventures of a century ago unfold with all the drama and impact of the Rough Riders' famous charge up San Juan Hill. Colonel Roosevelt is the unforgettable tale of how one man's personal ambitions and dreams of destiny propelled a young nation to prominence and a new era.

                          5 out of 5 stars A Bully Introduction To A Splendid Little War!.......2004-11-27

                          In "Colonel Roosevelt" H. Paul Jeffers continues the magnificent story of Theodore Roosevelt which he began in "Commissioner Roosevelt." On its pages he tells the story of TR's involvement in the Spanish American War.

                          The story begins with TR's successful campaign to obtain the appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Despite President McKinley's prescience that "Theodore is too pugnacious" the appointment was made and Theodore began his crusade for war. For one year TR maneuvered for hostilities with Spain and prepared the Navy for the War which he was creating. Serving notice of his world view in a speech to the Naval War college in 1897, TR ruffled feathers while securing his place as a prominent "jingo", those working for war. During his year in the Navy department, Roosevelt was busy requesting appropriations for ship building, chartering vessels and ordering ammunition and coal, all the while presiding over training of the crews. Having secured the position of Commander of the Asiatic Squadron for his friend, George Dewey, TR took advantage of a day that Secretary Long took off to send the momentous telegram to Dewey ordering him to be ready to seize the Philippines in the event of war with Spain. Despite his horror, Long let the order stand, profoundly changing the history of the 20th century

                          Leaving TR in the Navy department, Jeffers does a nice, although brief, job of explaining the causes of and agitators for the war. The primary causus belli was the Spanish suppression of the revolt in Cuba. While William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer beat the war drums while President McKinley worked for a peaceful solution. After the sinking of the Maine McKinley lost control of events and was eventually forced to ask for war. When he did, Roosevelt was ready.

                          Having done what he could for the Navy, TR left to have his share of the fun in the Army. Wisely he accepted a Lt. Colonelcy under Col. Leonard Wood in the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, soon to be known as Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Roosevelt realized that his limited military experience may have delayed the unit's training until the war was over. The Rough Riders were unusual in that most volunteer units were organized by state, not nationally. Although created to admit volunteers from the Southwest, it also attracted many Easterners, including many Ivy League athletes.

                          Organized in San Antonio, the Rough Riders moved to Tampa for embarkation. Orders kept a portion of the unit in the States, but not Roosevelt. Although lamenting the loss of Rain In The Face, his horse which drowned while disembarking in Cuba, TR approached the landing in Daiquiri with enthusiasm. Organizing his troops, TR got his first taste of combat on June 30, 1898 on the road from Siboney to Las Guasimas. Leading the troops against the Spaniards in the gloom, TR inspired his men as he lead them on to victory. His "Crowded Hour" followed on July 1 when he lead his men up Kettle Hill in the assault on the heights overlooking Santiago.

                          Having achieved the domineering position over looking Santiago, the destruction of the Spanish fleet by the Navy which TR had prepared, substituted disease for the Spanish as the main threat the Army had to face. During this phase of the campaign, TR, as one without a military career to place in jeopardy, took the lead in demanding the evacuation of the troops from Cuba. Stateside panic that the Army would introduce Yellow Fever, whereas it suffered from malaria, presented a temporary impediment to repatriation. This being overcome, TR accompanied his men to Montauk, Long Island for quarantine and discharge. From there he went on to the governorship of New York and, eventually, the White House. Jeffers also introduces the reader into the subsequent careers of other members of the Rough Riders.

                          Although somewhat superficial due to its length, "Colonel Roosevelt" does give the reader a good introduction to TR and the Rough Riders in particular and the Spanish American War in general.

                            3 out of 5 stars Interesting character study, not much plot.......2003-11-28

                            This is a deceptively long book, filled with atmosphere, and lacking much in the way of plot. Jimmy Burns, JoJo Paradiso, and Dante O'Donnell grew up in the same neighborhood, and now Burns and O'Donnell are cops on the Organized Crime Task Force, conducting surveillance on Paradiso and his buddies. Paradiso is the son of the local Don, and while said Don is aging and slowing down, he still controls things enough to make his prohibition against the family doing business with drug dealers or dealing drugs themselves. JoJo wants to overturn this and go into the drug business in a big way, in order to make money, so he's scheming behind his father's back.

                            This comprises the first half of the book. By the time the plot actually got going, I was pretty bored. The atmosphere is well-done, and the characters are interesting. When the plot does get going, however, it's almost totally predictable and takes way too long to get where it's going, especially since the first half of the book took so long to get to that point anyway. I enjoyed this book somewhat, but calling it a mystery or a suspense novel is a stretch to say the least.

                            5 out of 5 stars unforgetable- pure and simple.......2000-08-14

                            This book is stays with you long after you finish. It is rare for a novel to be so real, so affecting, but this is. Anyone interested in police work, NYC or more important, friendship and betrayal, should rush out and get this brillant book. You will never forget it. Leuci is a magnificent writer

                                            "Urban ugliness has often been a topic of other writers but apparently not so wilderness ugliness..." Tyrone Thomas, one of Australia's most respected bushwalkers, redresses the balance with his latest and by far most controversial title to date. Written by one who truly knows the Australian landscape, Tyrone has observed first hand some of this destruction during his 40 years of bushwalking. His environmental expos tackles not only the physical disfigurement of the Australian environment over the last 100 years but also exposes the psychological mindset that has gone with it. He argues that white Australian settlement "essentially began a tragic scene of greed for land, power and wealth" which is being perpetuated even today. Economics, he argues, cannot be the sole concern for Australia and Australians; that 'traditional' pastimes such as outback farming, grazing, as well as fishing and hunting as sports, need to have checks in place in order to stop the associated rampant environmental degradation.

                                            From one of Australia's most respected bushwalkers - Tyrone Thomas - comes this necessary expose covering such important issues as: the Government's mismanagement of National Parks, forestry, hunting, the atrocities of duck season, and farming. Tyrone both critically analyses these environmental issues and provides sensible and practical solutions and strategies on how we as a community can begin to address them.
