Book Description
(Pearson Education) A comprehensive reference answering all of the most common questions about Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and it applications. Offers examples of how NLP can be used, how to use it to create specific effects, and even how to create an NLP toolkit for success. Softcover.
Customer Reviews:
Very very very good!.......2005-11-26
It surely must be me - that I did not find this book earlier. :).
The examples are very relevant and the points simply hit home. Finally after reading (daniel goleman, dale carnegie, napolean hill, ...) a whole bunch of other books .... here is a book that provides a constructive way of making a difference. It'll surely change yours.
Cannot stress this enough - get the book. Can't afford it new? buy it used. Buy it and buy it now!
I was hoping for more from Prentice Hall ! :(.......2003-12-24
Cannot these concepts be presented in plain English rather than convoluted jargon? If you, like me, have been looking for a book that will bring NLP skills to the real world, you've probably noticed that 90% of the titles are published by "Meta Publications" or "Metamorphus" or "Crown House" publishers - all seemingly established by nlp trainers. The usual approach of the books is to present transcripts of training seminars (with commentary annotations if you're lucky). At least this book ATTEMPTS something more than that.
Unfortunately, it still requires that you steep yourself in the whole language of "meta-" this and "meta-" that and try to wrap your thinking about business situations in that quagmire. If I had not already worked my way through O'Connor & Seymour's "Introducing NLP", I would have given up on this book after a few chapters.
Even more aggravating is the shallowness of the material once you learn the jargon. The book jacket promises to help you "get the best from your teams, motivate people, developed committed responsible staff, develop leadership." OK - so who doesn't? What it offers is little more than management principles you've been learning since day one. If nlp has the potential to "influence success and change" in corporate environments, it's going to take something beyond this item to achieve it.
In the introduction Molden says one of his favorite books is Peter Brook's "The Empty Space." I think I get the joke now: Although every page of Molden's book is covered with words, the effect is to provide us with Empty Space on which we are to imagine all the "Magic" and "Ultimate Human Potential" that nlp is supposed to offer. Potential? Potential to continue buying nlp books until I give in and attend the "Master Trainers' " seminars and be initiated as a High Priest with secret handshake and jargon password? Does that work for you? Ah, then perhaps you'll want this book.
Despite the praise of Don Mitchell (who rates all positive-thinking books with five stars) and George Zee (who loves EVERY badly edited nlp book ever printed): CAVEAT EMPTOR. If you are a management professional who wants to determine whether nlp holds promise for more effective corporate functioning... don't hold your breath looking for it here. Struggle through the jargon & amorphous conceptual landscape of O'Connor & Seymour first; then you'll be better equipped to evaluate the inflated claims for "the magic of nlp."
A disappointment.......2003-10-21
I had high expectations of this book. But the material presented in it could not even come close to meeting them. This book does not add anything to what you already know.
Determine what you want and take the necessary steps to achieve that goal. Have strong believes and principles but stay flexible and be able to adapt when required. Be open to others, listen to what they have to say. Share your point of view, but don't force it on people. Study "succesful" people and learn what makes them succesful. Then integrate that information into your own life.
It's amazing the author needs 300+ pages to deliver this message.
There are many great books available on how to reach your full potential as a person, but this is not one of them.
Save your money.

This is the best NLP book I've ever read!.......2002-02-05
Have you read a lot of the NLP books out there, and maybe even poked around to see what's on the internet about it, and yet still feel like you haven't quite gotten it?
Join the club.
That's because NLP often involves so much that you can't write down, that even the people who can do it quiet well can have a hard time writing good books about it.
'NLP Business Masterclass' is one of the rare exceptions that will provide you MANY exercises of things you can experiment with IN REAL LIFE, right now, to learn how to incorporate the methods and insights that make NLP so valuable.
It might help if you already know something about NLP, although it's certainly not necessary. But even if you're an NLP trainer, this book has much to offer. So no matter what level you're at, I cannot more strongly urge you to buy this book, get some friends together and play with the exercises, until you find that you can't NOT communicate with the new levels of effectiveness, clarity and impact that you've learned.

Book Description
Written to meet the needs of both students and applied researchers, Design of Experiments for Agriculture and the Natural Sciences, Second Edition serves as an introductory guide to experimental design and analysis. Like the popular original, this thorough text provides an understanding of the logical underpinnings of design and analysis by selecting and discussing only those carefully chosen designs that offer the greatest utility. However, it improves on the first edition by adhering to a step-by-step process that greatly improves accessibility and understanding. Real problems from different areas of agriculture and science are presented throughout to show how practical issues of design and analysis are best handled. Completely revised to greatly enhance readability, this new edition includes- q A new chapter on covariance analysis to help readers reduce errors, while enhancing their ability to examine covariances among selected variables. q Expanded material on multiple regression and variance analysis. q Additional examples, problems, and case studies q A step-by-step Minitab® guide to help with data analysis Intended for those in the agriculture, environmental, and natural science fields as well as statisticians, this text requires no previous exposure to analysis of variance, although some familiarity with basic statistical fundamentals is assumed. In keeping with the book's practical orientation, numerous workable problems are presented throughout to reinforce the reader's ability to creatively apply the principles and concepts in any given situation. A solutions manual is available for qualified buyers

Book Description
Power meters are rapidly becoming an invaluable part of training and racing among professional cyclists and triathletes, amateurs looking for a competitive edge, and gear fiends. For coaches and athletes, these devices offer enormous potential for targeting and timing training to realize a rider's goals. Yet few athletes or coaches understand how to interpret the data for optimal results, and few cycling resources do more than mention the possibility of wattage training. Training and Racing with a Power Meter decrypts the layers of information and explains how to begin a program that effectively integrates power. Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan have conducted extensive research and consulted with manufacturers to deliver the most sophisticated and scientific approach to training on the market, allowing riders to tap every last watt of power. The book includes cogent case studies, sample power workouts, and a chapter on the future of training and racing with these soon-to-be indispensable devices.
Customer Reviews:
The user's manual for training with power.......2007-10-12
If you are looking for the rosetta stone to unlock the mystery of wattage data and what it can mean to your training then this is the book for you.
The Benefits of a Power Meter.......2007-04-09
Cyclists who train with a power meter must have this manual. It's the first of its kind, and you can learn everything you need to know to get started with this new trend.
great reference.......2007-01-12
this is a great book to understand the details of training for cycling using a powermeter. a necessary reference for the library of an athlete with a powermeter. this is the first of its kind and does a great job directing the reader in methods to analyze power data from rides, get the most of workouts, and monitor training stress. also includes pretty thorough reviews of the various powermeters on the market.
Power Meter Decision maker.......2007-01-11
This book is a must have for those already training with power or cyclists interested in learning what all the hubbub is about.
I bought the book in October 2006 because I had been hearing success stories from folks who trained with power. The book is well laid out and even provides enough information about the top four power meters and the software they come with to make a reasonable decision, however I would recommend joining some of the forums and reading as much as you can before you make your final decision.
Some of the topics were a bit technical, but you don't have to fully understand the most technical aspects of the book to find the information within these pages useful. I wanted to understand as much as possible without having to become a physiology major. With three readings under my belt I feel confident that I can create a reasonable training plan for improving my standing within the weekend group century rides. In addition to the book the authors provide a power meter course that visits major cities. I believe serious cyclists will find this course helpful especially if they read the book first.
My power meter, which this book and the forums helped me choose, arrived this week. I hope to install it over the weekend and take my first fitness test so I can build a power based training plan.
This book is a must have!
Take your training to the next level.......2007-01-10
I am an experienced racer in triathlon and MTB ultra-distance events. This book, coupled with my new power measuring tools and my long-time use of a heart rate monitor, has taken my training to new levels. I am a detail-oriented, technical person, and the book satisfied my need for insights into how and why things are recommended or advocated. I found the advice and techniques to be absolutely useful in helping me improve my knowledge and my performance. I am wasting less time training wrong and getting more back from my sessions in the few months since I began reading this book-- but it will take me years to master the material inside, which tells me that I've got a real reference as opposed to an owner's manual here. If you're going to train with power, don't do it without this book.

A Cruise Guide That Includes All Sizes of Ships Worldwide.......2000-01-08
More than 500 pages. In addition to the 200 pages of ship profiles, there are sections on choosing the cruise that is best for you, traveling by freighter and chartering your own boat. The thing that makes this guide really unique is the collection of personal reports -- first hand accounts by professional travel writers on cruises they have taken.

The irrepressibly plucky Molly Moon returns for a sequel and discovers a super-power more amazing than hypnosis in this even-better follow-up to Georgia Byng's best-selling debut, Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism.
Molly Moon Stops the World begins with our 11-year-old heroine back at the newly-improved (thanks to Molly's mind-control powers) orphanage in Brierville. A disturbing meeting with Lucy Logan (Molly's guardian librarian from the last book) changes everything--Molly must stop a megalomaniac master hypnotist named Primo Cell from taking over the world.
Many elaborate setups and silly reversals of fortune ensue, as Molly and Rocky hunt the villainous Cell. The duo discovers that things are even more dire than expected (could this evil genius really be running for President?), and Molly soon stumbles onto her even-more amazing ability: She can stop time.
It's hard to resist the obvious fun that Byng's having here, as the story takes countless twists amidst frantic, page-turning action (older kids will especially enjoy the many wry nods at celebrities and advertising). Molly fans get an extra treat in the book's white-knuckle conclusion: Molly finally learns how she ended up at the orphanage...and the true identity of her parents. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Molly Moon is back -- and this time she's hypnotizing her way to the Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Along with Rocky and Petula the pug, Molly is tracking the sinister activities of American billionaire Primo Cell, who wants to become president and take over the world. He has all the Hollywood celebrities in his power, but Molly Moon has an amazing power of her own, which even she doesn't know about ...

Molly Moon Stops the World (Molly Moon).......2007-06-27
This is a great book!! A great follow up to the first Molly Moon book. My boys and I take turns reading(ages 8 & 12) We can't put it down! I highly recommend it!
this is the best book ever!.......2007-03-25
my grandma got the first three books for me as soon as the time travel (book 3) one was in the book store. then she sent them to me in a package. when i saw them, i was in the middle of reading a different book (narnia, i think..), so i put them in my shelf so i could finish "the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe." when i finally finished that by thanksgiving '06, i pulled out the molly moon books and read the first one, the second one, and the third one, straight through in that one day! it was so much fun when molly and rocky (in the second one) were in New York, livin' the sweet life. and i thought my heart was going to burst when (also in the second book) the magpie could have made them into human being salsa!!!
but i thought it was great when they were in Sinclair's car, watching ms. trinkleberry and nockman. (hahahahahaha!!!)
i love this book, and ive loved all the other ones, too!
Just great!.......2007-03-12
This is the second book of Molly Moon I've bought for my 9 year old. She loves them! It is a fairly thick book but she knocks it out in about 3 days. Highly recommend!!
Stopping the World.......2006-12-20
Little Molly Moon was delivered in a Moons Marshmallow package to Hardwick House Orphanage. Molly Moon learns hypnotism, but with a diamond the world is changed and not everything is going in the right direction. Molly has to stop Davina and Primo Cell, but it is not going to be easy. With the help of her dog Petula and her friend Rocky they have to change everything. But the question is HOW?
This fantastic book by Georgia Bnyg is long but definitely worth reading. It is a great adventure and a fun book. You will not be able to out it down. It is filled with details and it will never get boring. If you want to read this book you have to read Molly Moon's Incredible book of Hypnotism. It is the first book of the series, and this series rocks!
Its Great.......2006-03-22
My 9 year old can not put it down. She was reading under the covers. She said it was funny and can't wait to see what happens next.

Book Description
What do anthrax protection, golf clubs, and cordless power tools have in common? Each was invented or improved with technology first developed for the space program. Since NASA's inception 45 years ago, hundreds of everyday devices and products have emerged from the research and development required to put rockets into space and humans on the moon. To expand our knowledge of the universe, scientists and engineers with the space program constantly confront new challenges in vehicle design, life support, communications, and astronaut health and well-being. The solutions to these challenges have often benefited those of us who remain on Earth. This book tells the story of 67 of the most consumer-friendly products born of space-related research. Discover the fascinating histories of commonplace items that we now take for granted. One model of ergonomic chairs was based on the position of astronauts at rest in Skylab. Improvements in health-rate monitors resulted from the need to track changes in an astronaut's heart rate. Even swimsuits and ballpoints pens have been improved by space technology. This book also includes extensive information on the history of NASA, and on the technology-transfer centers that help make such product improvements happen. Lesson plans and resources offer additional sources of information on this remarkable subject.

Book Description
This book examines the state of the German model of capitalism today and offers an integrated analysis of the political economy of unified Germany. Challenging the traditional view that Germany is lagging behind other capitalist states in the transition to a postindustrial economy, it looks in detail at the expansion of the service sector, the transformation of the industrial sector and the development of the knowledge economy in unified Germany. Annesley finds that Germany is indeed becoming postindustrial, but that it is not developing in any single direction. She suggests that some regions perform well in services or the production of knowledge, while others have successfully transformed industrial production. This variation, it is argued, is the consequence of unification as well as older economic traditions which pre-date the industrial revolution.

Book Description
Is the battle against inflation in China now over? Can Zhu Rongji, the economic guru turned Chinese premier who has successfully reduced the skyrocketing inflation of the mid-1990s to a near zero level, while yet maintaining high economic growth through the new millennium, relax? These are the key questions raised by China's current economic transition towards a market-based system, and they both revolve around the institutional economics that is the focus of this volume. Dealing specifically with the giant state-owned enterprises (SOEs), Industrial Reform and Macroeconomic Instability in China unravels the intriguing dynamics between industrial deregulation and inflation, in the context of China's continuous search for sustained, stable economic growth without runaway inflation. This book is unique among western studies: it addresses the very core, but to date least reformed sector of the Chinese economy. SOEs have monopolized key industrial supplies, commanded the bulk of national investment, disctated much of the nation's credit and finance, and have been the single most important source of state budget revenue. Continually faced with enormous internal wage pressures, all attempts at marketization and price liberalization are inherently inflationary. Based upon an independently, specifically designed set of questionnaires administered to 300 large and medium-scale state industrial enterprises in six major industrial cities, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the first decade of the reforms of the 1980s. The findings are formulated as pointers for understanding the macroeconomic vicissitudes that occurred after the launching of the campaign to create a 'socialist market economy' in the early 1990s. This book will be of use to China analysts, students, and businessmen who are interested in learning about the progress made, the remaining obstacles that the state-owned enterprises face, and their inevitable impact on China's economic growth and stability.

Whether you're saddled and ready for the dynamic new sport of endurance riding, or more content to lope down a pretty country lane, this thorough guide provides plenty of updated information to keep horse and rider on the right path. While it's most suited to the endurance rider, the author covers training procedures (conditioning, feeding, equipment) that are also useful to noncompetitive equestrians. Photos, drawings, and charts accompany the straightforward text.
Book Description
First Star to the Right and Straight on Till Morning.... At the 90-mile vet check she sat in the middle of the road crying, claiming extreme illness and trying to avoid her nightmarish fears her horse would die of founder or colic, or anything. The last ten miles of trail stretched forever in her mind, black like licorice taffy. After a large measure of TLC from her patient and understanding crew, she and the gelding were out of the check and on the trail again. The entire universe shrank to center on the pair in the moonlight. Time stopped and the world faded into nothingness. They were running in a small, ever-changing pocket of existence, the rhythm of his hooves, the heartbeat of that universe. Ribbons and trail appeared before them and lost substance as they moved past. For the rider, clinging to the saddle, there was no thought, no pain, no emotion, only the instinctive drive to chase past each ribbon as it appeared. Suddenly her horse jumped sideways, eyes and ears frozen forward. Awakened from her trance, she oriented herself on his suspected woods troll, a familiar embankment that meant they were a half-mile from home. Easing him past the scary object, she sent the gelding on, clinging to his neck. As his soft lope swept them across the finish line, she wanted to laugh out loud or cry, but was unable to summon the strength for either. A few small tears trickled down her cheek, the only sign of the enormous pride she felt inside. Becky Huffman Endurance rider, wife, mother of two, and student of author Donna Snyder-Smith

Customer Reviews:
Good info, some gaps........2003-01-17
This book has some really great pieces of information and I have shared it happily with my barn-mates. The author is somewhat brief in spots, and I finished it feeling like there were gaps in my knowledge that I needed to get other books to fill. I understand that everything about endurance riding cannot be covered in one tome, but I wish she had shared more of her obviously large bank of knowledge. Good ideas and great perspectives are sometimes hidden in sections where they don't belong, so read carefully.
Read and Live (comfortably).......2000-07-13
I trained with the Ms. Snyder-Smith and worked with Ms. Kanavy in a week long clinic, and I can say unequivocally that the two practice all they talk about in the book. If you want to learn the basics of endurance riding, horse and human biomechanics, and just soak up some real state of the art saavy, Donna Snyder Smith and Valerie Kanavy are the ticket!
Great Resource for Every Rider.......2000-04-25
This book gives a good, solid foundation to the sport of endurance riding, and for every rider who wants a horse at its' prime. I am just starting in the sport and this book tells you where to start and how to prime your horse and get it ready for the competitions ahead. Through this book, I have broadened my knowledge of both the sport and how to work with a horse to get it in its best condition. The author includes valuable tips, exercises and pictures which demonstrate what you need and how to use them. I highly suggest this book for anyone interested in getting started with endurance riding.
How to ride far and fast on a healthy horse.......1998-07-10
Want to feel good, cover a lot of ground, and enjoy a real sense of accomplishment? And spend a lot of time with your horse? Then read this book. Endurance riding (strictly speaking, going 50-100 miles a day across the countryside for 1-5 days on or with your horse) should not be attempted unless you and your horse have some basic training, including physical conditioning, but with the right approach almost anyone can do it. Donna shows you how, from basics to true competition (not only how to reach the finish line in one piece but how to be one of the first arrivals on a horse that is ready and able to keep going). There are a number of books offering advice on endurance riding, and most provide valuable information, but I find this one the best starting point. Besides covering the fundamentals found in almost every endurance book, Donna offers exercises for you and your horse that help you both to finish without being cramped, exhausted or otherwise unfit to continue (I can testify to this!). She also injects many nuggets of wisdom from her extensive personal experience. Finally, the format includes many helpful diagrams, illustrations, photos, boxes, summaries, lists and references that get the necessary concepts across much better than plain words in a paragraph, which makes for easier reading and quicker comprehension. My only complaint is that the book is too big to fit in my saddlebag.
