Methods for Soil Chemical Analysis.......2005-09-26

Certainly a critical reference for anyone who deals with soil chemistry. These are the classical analyses that were state of the science when this reference was published. This series is periodically revised and updated so it is best served as a library reference so it can be accessed by as many people as possible. Not only are the presented methods the "industry standard", the introductions and discussions are also valuable resources.

Book Description

This review gives a brief discussion of the structure of the Standard Model and its quantum corrections for testing the electroweak theory at current and future colliders. The predictions for the vector boson masses, neutrino scattering cross sections, and the Z resonance observables such as the width of the Z resonance, partial widths, effective neutral current coupling constants and mixing angles at the Z peak, are presented. Recent experimental data and their implications for the present status of the Standard Model are compared. Finally, the question of how virtual new physics can influence the predictions for the precision observables and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) as a special example of particular theoretical interest are discussed.

Book Description

-- A brand-new wardrobe from Saks

-- A private jet to Holland to select the perfect tulip

-- A guest list that rivals red-carpet after-parties

-- And a birthday bash that blows all others completely out of the water

Okay, it's not your average birthday wish list, but Whitney Blake and Sophie Mitchum are anything but average.

I'm Laura Finnegan -- thrift-store junkie and scholarship student at Tate, our posh all-girls high school in Manhattan. Needless to say, I'm not like Whit and Soph -- gorgeous, popular, and filthy rich -- but that doesn't stop us from being BFFs. Sophomore year was going great, until they started tuning in to the all-Sweet Sixteen, all-the-time channel. Now tempers are flaring, Prada bags are flying, and guys are being tossed around in vicious tug-of-war battles. All this, just to see whose Sweet Sixteen reigns supreme?

Customer Reviews:

Loved This!.......2007-08-28

This is classified as a teen read, but I think adult women can definitely appreciate it too. I definitely got caught up in the story of how teenage girls can turn against each other. Carrie Karasyov writes about believable characters and I always enjoy her writing style. Plus, it is always entertaining to read about the super-rich--in this case, their lavish Sweet 16 parties.

Cute and charming.......2007-08-17

Laura and Whitney have been friends for years, despite the fact that they couldn't be more opposite: Laura is the daughter of two NYU professors and is on scholarship to Tate; while Whitney is a blue-blooded Upper East Sider, raised in the lap of luxury. Enter Sophie, the daughter of a well-known movie director, who fights with Whitney to be the "queen bee" of their exclusive private girls' school. Everyone is obsessed with having the biggest and most over-the-top Sweet Sixteen Party. Although Laura goes along with her friends' materialistic behavior, she's still able to remain objective about her life.

The outcome is predictable when Whitney and Sophie, friends at first, begin fighting over a boy both of them like and figting over who will have the biggest and most expensive Sweet Sixteen Party. The authors do a wonderful job of depicting teenage angst in the voice of a teenager who isn't quite as self-absorbed as her friends are. I found it remarkable, though that Laura never feels resentment towards her friends for having more than she does. She's able to realize that, even though her parents don't have very much money, she still has a great life. This was a great one-sitting read that kept me hooked until the end.

Bittersweet Sixteen.......2007-04-16

Bittersweet Sixteen

Bittersweet Sixteen, a novel by Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman, takes place in the upper east side of Manhattan at Tate, a private high school. Laura Finnegan, even being a scholarship student without the must-haves of the season, doesn't feel as out of place as you might think. That's because her long time best friend, Miss Whitney Blake, happens to be queen bee of the school. Everything changes though, when Sophie Mitchum, a former queen bee from her old high school in LA, moves to Tate and squeezes her way into their exclusive clique. Sophie being exuberantly rich and having the same birthday as Whitney has her taken to like a fish out of water. They soon become best friends, leaving Laura out of the mix when combining their sweet sixteens into one fabulous party. But as could have been predicted by their superficial bond, it all comes crashing down over a major fight leaving the school with two queen bees, two sweet sixteens, and Laura stuck smack dab in the middle.
One of my favorite scenes in the book is when both Sophie and Whitney come crawling back to Laura after demanding she choose between them. When she doesn't answer right away, they both drop her like a hot potato and deem her invisible. Laura after telling them off, demands that they make up if they want her forgiveness. This scene made me feel like cheering Laura on because they had been out right nasty towards her.
All in all, I'd give this book four stars. I'd have to say though that while it may look as if the over all theme of Bittersweet Sixteen is friendship it ands up being the same theme as those corny self books, just without the corniness. Be true to your self, and you'll be rewarded.

Unexpected.......2007-02-06

I have to be honest with you, this was a story that I expected to be read then forgotten , meaning I was just thinking that i would read it as something to do and then get over it. But, when I read it it was unexpectedly talently written and overly funny.

It was mostly about three teen girls . Their lives are filled with designer clothes , money, and catfights AND one particular celebration that in their world goes down in history... Their Sweet Sixteen.
All the girls are competeing to throw the best party.
Everyone expects Whiteny , theee most popular girl ever in the School of Tate , to win it easily. Then everything is mixed up when fresh and unique Sophie moves into school. Sophie and Whitney go at it. It is so funny! And Laura (normal , pennyless , designing her own clothes, alian of Tate and best friend of Whiteny) is stuck in the middle.
You will love how it turns out! I suggest it to anyone 13-17 years old. Do NOT judge a book by its cheesy cover.

Chick Lit at It's Finest.......2007-01-31

Take one part Cinderella and three parts "Mean Girls", stir until boiling and you get Bittersweet Sixteen. This sassy chick lit novel combines the stresses of birthdays, boys, and best friends in the high class society of Manhattan at one of the most exclusive private schools. Laura Finnegan's life was great until little Miss Sophie Mitchum enters her school. With this new friend the entire social standing of Tate Academy is completely turned upside-down. You will laugh, cry, and rejoice with Laura's terrors and triumphs. This is a great read for anyone.

Book Description

Customer loyalty has always been grounded in human interaction. Years ago, you'd walk into your favorite store and the staff would know your name, they'd remember your favorite brands, and they'd smile, nod, and take pains to make sure you came back. Because you were treated well by a personable, friendly staff--and because you were physically constrained by time and distance to limit yourself to particular stores--you'd go back to the same stores again and again.

The reach of the Web and advances in database technology have made this same level of personalized attention attainable by e-tailers thousands of miles away with a virtual staff customers may never meet. With customers now freed of the shackles of distance, they can comparison shop and fill out a profile that introduces a personalized element where e-tailers remember their name and preferences at a level that exceeds what a brick-and-mortar retailer can provide.

More than ever, the Web is empowering customers, making them more demanding of a great shopping experience, and consequently more fickle. Today's customers have the world at their fingertips, and keeping them loyal has become even more difficult. This is why websites are failing at an alarming rate. It's more obvious than ever that success lies not only in attracting customers but in retaining them.

In e-Loyalty, Ellen Reid Smith, leading customer loyalty expert and nationally acclaimed speaker, offers the definitive and essential step-by-step guide to creating and managing highly effective online loyalty and retention strategies.

Using some of the Internet's leading consumer and business-to-business websites as case examples, she takes readers from the early stages of implementing e-loyalty marketing programs through budgeting and evaluating their impact. From explaining the key concepts of e-loyalty to advising on critical website design factors, Reid Smith imparts techniques that can be applied by companies of any type or size--from the Fortune 500 companies she is regularly called upon to consult with to Internet start-ups.

Most of all, what truly distinguishes Reid Smith is her unwavering focus on not just retaining customers but retaining a company's most valuable customers through customer lifetime value modeling. Her advice will help companies ensure that their retention programs are focused on the most profitable customers since this aspect of online marketing has become the most important issue facing websites worldwide.

No matter which segment of the online economy you hail from, this is the essential handbook for initiating, cultivating, and extending that rarest of company assets: e-loyalty.

Customer Reviews:

This book gave me a plan for designing customer retention.......2003-03-07

I heard Ms. Smith at a conference and bought her book to get more details on her 7 steps to designing an e-loyalty strategy. The book throughly explains her 7 steps with tons of examples, some of which were really funny (I love humor in a business book). I designed and implemented a customer retention program based on the book and our customer return rate has really soared. Both the customer communications and reward ideas were key in raising our page view and purchase rates. It's a great book for businesses with websites that aren't successful, or for anyone implementing a customer retention program online.

Remarkable light on the substance; disappointing purchase.......2002-09-11

I read a number of the reviews here and was quite excited to read this book when it came in the mail. Much to my chagrin, the material was very light and pretty much common sense. There were no great insights and a remarkable lack of specific examples. The author discusses her suggestions in generalities, but does not support those suggestions with specific examples forcing the reader to long for clarification on exactly what she is trying to recommend. All in all, a disappointing purchase. This book may have been great in 2000, but today is obsolete.

A great primer for Loyalty.......2001-04-10

I consult for clients in ebusiness strategy and one of my clients was interested in using a loyalty program to retain clients. With little time on my hands, I needed to become an expert on Loyalty and Ellen's book was the best primer I could find. As a resource, her book provides a great foundation for what loyalty is about, the theory, and the how-to-approach for building a loyalty program. I may be a quick study, but I credit Ellen's book with giving me the knowledge that I needed to be credible with the client in our first meeting. With all the confusion out there about loyalty, and the misperception that everyone has about loyalty=points program, I believe Ellen's is the right book to set you on the right path

The step by step manual to truly engender loyalty!.......2001-01-28

Ellen Reid-Smith has distilled everything you need to know and everything you need to do into a step-by-step manual for creating a website that will cause people to show up and then to keep coming back. The real key is that you must focus your efforts on Most Valuable Customers (MVCs) as these are the people who make your business profitable and pay the bills. Reid-Smith demonstrates with hundreds of excellent examples from her many years of first-hand experiences that companies who try to please everybody equally end up pleasing nobody completely. If you design your website to attract everyone and assume that your "great" service will keep them coming back, then, you don't have a prayer against your competition. As Reid-Smith points out, you MUST design with your MVCs in mind and focus on strategies that build "switching costs" that will keep you best customers with you and make it difficult for them to consider going to a competitor. This focus on MVCs will give your website a distinctive "personality" that will soon attract casual users to also become MVCs. The book is easy to read, but, is clearly quite deep on the details of what you need to do to go get it done. I applaud Ms. Reid-Smith for being the first to market with such a helpful blueprint for success fo content and commerce website developers!

Key to Survival.......2000-12-03

The key concept in the Darwinian model of evolution is that even small competitive advantages will, over time, determine the dominant traits overall.

What we are seeing in the "dot-com" world is a blindingly fast Darwinian process. The trouble is that due to its speed, it is difficult to differentiate why the winners are winning and the losers are losing. That is, unless you take into consideration the human side of the issues.

In her book, e-Loyalty, Ms. Reid Smith brings her many years of experience together with a sublime understanding of human relationships to make it clear that though the Web may be new, the principles that work to develop loyal customers are not.

The tools available are uncountable. The technologies have never been more powerful. The medium is mass-oriented. With Ellen as your guide, you will find clarity in solving your problems.

This is a must read for anyone who wishes to survive and thrive online.

Book Description

This study examines the development of Third World solidarity within the broader historical context of changing hegemonic power systems, from Pax Britannia to Pax Americana. Thomas focuses on the political, economic, and racial structures that are fundamental to hegemonic supremacy over peripheral and semiperipheral states, and he analyzes the divergent modes of Third World incorporation (subordination) into the world system. He concludes that the racial structure of global apartheid that dominated the world system during the colonial period is re-emerging under the rubric of a "New World Order."

All That the Rain Pronises, and More.......2007-10-14

The Book is well worth buying, I have found it to be one of the best available. The information is very helpful, but some of the photos could be a little more clear. The companion book is more detailed and also worth buying; Mushrooms Demystified.

good guide and fun too.......2007-02-20

This might not be the first and only mushroom guide you would buy - especially if you do not live on the west coast. It is a great compact reference and David Arora is a true expert who also makes the information fun and accessible. I think everyone who gets past a few forays should have this guide in their pocket.

This Is My Favorite Mushroom Book.......2007-02-17

I have 30+ mushroom books. This one is the one I like most. It's fun to read and is small enough to carry with me on the mushroom hunting trips. In addition to the wonderful pictures, clear information, and useful tips, it has a lot of fantastic real-life mushroom hunting stories. This book is very practical and easy to read. It is a great book for people who love mushrooms.

Best in the West.......2006-11-08

This little book led us to some of the tastiest mushrooms
I have ever eaten. Easy to follow and the pictures are
superior. I have found that by using a variety of books,
one can zero in on the edibility of a given mushroom.
This book also is packed with great tips for the fungi
friendly.

It's just what the title says. I recommend it as a take-along resource when you're out collecting or just out exploring. It has the humor and more in-depth info that makes Mushrooms Demistified a great book, but it's small enough to take with you. Great book!
