Nice Guide for Beginners.......2007-06-16

The author writes a nice overview of the entrepreneurial process. It's basically for novices but it does a good job for this audience. The only problem I have with this book is that it is too basic and is therefore non-unique because it is so low-level. Regardless, I must say that for the right audience, it does a fine job over giving the big picture.

If you are advanced or aspire to become advanced, I would recommend "The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs" but only for high-tech entrepreneurs. Even this author has recommended it.

A Must-Have for Entrepreneurs.......2007-05-14

Steven gives great illustrations to drive home his insightful advice for entrepreneurs. As he's "been there, done that," we can take his advice to heart in the hopes of becoming a success like him!

Exellent Book.......2007-05-11

Great book for getting ready to open a new business. Would refer to anyone thinking about opening a business.

Brief and to the point.......2007-04-27

This is a delightful little book that contains a wealth of useful and helpful information and ideas on starting a small business and ensuring that it is viable and succesful. The book is well written and easy to follow and interesting to read.

This is a must read for entrepreneurs, particularly budding ones as the information the book provides is very practical and can help you avoid making costly errors. The book covers a wide range of topics including the start-up process, marketing the business on a small budget, cash-flow forecasting, among other things.

The book is an excellent companion for the entrepreneur that is well worth having.

Invaluable advice for the budding entrepreneur.......2007-03-04

This book does a terrific job of presenting some of the most important issues entrepreneurs face when embarking on new ventures, touching on topics such as the business plan, funding, team building, and cash flows. Using simple, yet stunningly accurate models of the entrepreneurial process, Steven Gold distills complex subjects into simple, practical, take-away messages. The classification of entrepreneurial personalities (professionals, pragmatists, and inventors) is something I think we can all relate to. I find the metaphor which compares building a new company to making "stone soup" equally compelling. There are countless books out there for budding entrepreneurs, but this one is no fluff. It gets right down to the nuts and bolts so you can concentrate on your business.

Book Description

The creative industries are a growing economic as well as cultural force. This book investigates their organizational dynamics and shows how companies structure their work processes to incorporate creative employees' needs for autonomy while at the same time controlling and coordinating their output. Research in television and radio broadcasting, publishing, advertising, the recorded music industry and the performing arts is used to show the variety of ways in which organizations respond to the creative imperative. The authors help to answer a larger question which has been neglected in theories of management and organizational behaviour, namely: what should replace the management principles and practices inherited from industrial society in the types of organization which predominate in post-industrial society? The arguments and evidence are made accessible to a multidisciplinary audience of students and researchers with an interest in the study of organizations as well as to managers in the creative industries.

Book Description

Step into the past.

Tips cover cleaning, preserving, and displaying your finds. Document and identify your collection properly using the handy guide, arranged in three sections.

Customer Reviews:

Another Great Fossil Reference.......2002-12-07

An excellent reference book and an easy read for the more serious fossil collector.

This book helps answer the question: "What do you do when all the shoe boxes are filled with fossils?"

Detailed enough for the educator dealing with class credits and important learning standards. Expansive enough to cover the range of collecting, identifying, preserving, storing and displaying a wide range of fossil specimens.

Excellent photography and written in an easy-to-read-yet-serious style.

Great addition to an expanded paleo library and and a solid reference for field and prep work.

The only caution - this is a hard-bound book that needs to be handled with great care. Suggest not taking it into the field. And, make sure it's protected from dusk or vapors around a serious prep or work area.

Well worth the price, especially since the information will never go out of date. This will be one of those books we'll see in collector sales during the next century!

About "Collecting Fossils".......2001-07-14

A very well presented, attractive publication. The range of fossils presented is very limited and many of the examples shown are below average for the type. There are far superior publications available within a similar price range.

Good Introduction.......2000-06-19

Very nice introduction to the subject of collecting fossils. It has a beautiful layout and photos and is a well organized book. A few more specific details in some of the sections (like on cleaning your finds) would enhance an already fine book.

Review: "Collecting Fossils".......2000-03-31

"Collecting Fossils: Hold Prehistory in the Palm of Your Hands", by Steve Parker, is an excellent book for the beginning fossil collector. Each page has a thoughtful layout with beautiful photographs and/or illustrations which aid in visual understanding. This book discusses the fossilization process and describes the link between prehistoric remains and the past. It also includes all the basic knowledge on collecting fossils; from hints on recognizing rock types which usually contain remains, to tools, equipment and "hunting" techniques. The topics of proper conservation, storage and documentation are also included to enhance and preserve one's collection.

Offshore Sailing: 200 Essential tips.......2007-07-05

I recommend this book to all novices and many experienced offshore sailors to prepare for the unexpected problems that you need to address or avoid especially when you are so exposed to the extremes of nature, and completely disconnected from any immediate help. Lots of good lessons learned and references.

Required reading for ASA108 certification.......2007-05-12

This book looks disappointing at first because it is a thin expensive hardcover, but it is worth the money. There is very little fluff and the content is well structured and to the point. It covers most things necessary to prepare your boat for offshore sailing including tool lists, weight distribution, polars and VMG, secants and many other useful tips. Lots of pictures, tables and diagrams.

It would be foolish to think about seriously sailing or cruising without taking Bill Seifert's learned counsel!!

Get this one.......2002-11-09

I rarely bother to write reviews, but I have to add my kudos to the others given here. There is a down-to-earth pragmatism in these pages that I haven't found anywhere else. The authors have condensed an extraordinary amount of experience into 200 very succinct tips that cover a broad range of subjects. Many of their suggestions are low tech and can be easily implemented yourself. They have been there, done that and it shows. I am putting this one right next to Dashew, Calder, Sutphen and Leonard to fill in the blanks.

Two totally different people fall in love........1999-05-05

I thought this book had a very unrealistic, but predictable plot. I think the book would be better for someone in their pre-teens. I would recommend this to others because it is a good story,though. I might read it again sometime.

Science girl falls in love with jock..........1997-05-13

This is not a mind-boggling book, but it is a decent young adult romance. It is about a meteorologist-wannabe, Molly, and gorgeous jock, Frank. They are brought together by the science fair and Molly finds herself attracted to him. But Frank is a major flirt and Molly is not sure if he is just using her to pass science class

The eventual reunification of the Korean Peninsula will send political and economic reverberations throughout Northeast Asia and will catalyze the struggle over a new regional order among the four great powers of the Pacific--Russia, China, Japan, and the United States. Korea's Future and the Great Powers addresses the vital issues of how to achieve a stable political order in a unified Korea, how to finance Korean economic reconstruction, and how to link Korea into a cooperative framework of international diplomatic relations.

An extremely myopic view of North Korea.......2002-04-04

I had high hopes for this book that were quickly dashed by a number of glaring problems. Nick Eberstadt is a demographer/economist and he analyzes North Korea solely in these terms. If he were to write a book about North Korean economics, he would probably be capable of writing a masterpiece. As it is, he steps out of his well-troden field and attempts to predict the future of an entire country from a demographic/economic perspective. The hubris of Eberstadt's work is that he ventures to write about things he knows little to nothing about. ...In this book, Eberstadt simplifies North Korea into a one-sided demon bristing with weaponry and a declared enemy of the free world. While this may be true, it is difficult to take him seriously since he analyzes North Korea wholly from the outside. Curiously missing from his book is a history of the internal developments that allowed North Korea to survive even when the Communist Bloc states fell like dominoes in the 1980s.

review of the end of north korea.......2000-04-29

korean peninsula was politically partitioned in 1950's korean war. korean war is often seen as democracy vs. communism, yet it is more correct to say christianity vs. non-christianity. us millitary was sent to korean peninsula to convert korean peninsula to christianity peninsula. all other wars that us millitary was involved in were from amreicans' desire to realize christianity world.

as long as christianity and related religions exist tragedies never end.

North Korean Irrationality Made Rational.......1999-12-06

North Korea is regularly portrayed in the Western media as a lunatic colony running amuck on the world stage. While its strategies and tactics can be (sometimes purposely) baffling, the country is being run by extremely intelligent and very rationale people. However, it is the framework within which the North Korean leadership finds itself constrained in facing the rest of the world that leads to actions and decisions that appear from the outside as being irrational.

Making a great deal of sense of all of this is Nicholas Eberstadt's recently released book, The End of North Korea. Eberstandt is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Research and a visiting fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies.

Last month (October 1999) the paperback version of this book appeared in its 175-page format. The original manuscript and charts were completed not quite a year ago so that the perspective is still quite timely. Why this is an important read is because the author skillfully lays out the historical and political context the North Korean leadership is calling the shots. The North Koreans' hidden agendas suddenly become much more visible by Eberstadt's well researched analysis. Actually the North Koreans have been remarkably blunt. The West has done a poor job of listening - more often than not we have just been reacting without recalling prior messages. What Pyongyang is demanding may not be what we wish to hear but they have been clear and consistent.

Book Description

This book brings together a selection of many of i the /i world experts on the North Korean economy and covers such important issues as: possible unification with South Korea, the significance of China's economic success br and the roles of Europe and the United States in North Korea.
