The Lawyer's Guide to Increasing Revenues
ASIN: 1590311590 |
Book Description
This book provides advice on how to hire and use top notch paralegals to achieve success in providing clients with quality service.
Customer Reviews:
Love the formulas in this book.......2006-08-25
If you are a paralegal and want to convince your lawyer that you can help be a profit-maker for the firm, get this book. If you are a lawyer and want to know how to increase your firm's profits and use your support staff more efficiently and effectively, get this book. One of the things I like best are the formulas to show how delegating substantive legal work to qualified legal support staff is a win/win for the law firm and the client.

Best Judo (Illustrated Japanese Classics)
ASIN: 4770029799 |
Book Description
The Long-lost "bible of judo" is back in print after almost 30 years.
Judo's origins date back to ancient times, and through the course of its long history it has evolved into one of Japan's most renowned heritages, assimilating many aspects of Japanese culture. In recent years, Judo has acquired heightened popularity, both in Japan and around the world, as a martial
art and a path to spiritual enlightenment.
Kyuzo Mifune (1883-1965) began Judo as a junior middle-school student, and in 1945 was awarded the rank of 10th dan. known as the "God of Judo," he was so famous that, in referring to him, the words "10th dan" alone sufficed. Legend has it that in his sixty years of practice he never lost a match
and was never thrown.
This book is the completely revised edition of Canon of Judo, originally published in 1960. It is said the book played a big role in founding the International Judo Federation, and in helping Judo to become an Olympic sport in 1964.
Shortly before his death Mifune revised his work, and this new edition includes these revisions, as well as a completely new translation of the original. It also contains a completely new layout.
With around 1,000 photos of the author and his students, and detailed, thorough explanations of the techniques, The Canon of Judo is the only book of its kind to provide such a comprehensive guide to the various techniques and the spirit of Judo. It will be an indispensable resource for all Judo
practitioners.
Customer Reviews:
Classical Judo.......2007-10-01
Mifune's 'The Canon of Judo' is an outstanding work and certainly joins Kano's 'Kodokan Judo' as an essential book for all Judoka. The instuction included within is exceptional and will without doubt be of the utmost benefit to any and all Judoka who may read it. Mifune was undoubtedly one of the greatest Judoka to have lived, and the quality and depth of instuction given in this book is a fitting match for the man. Few, if any books available at this time present techniques in the format offered in this book. Mifune offers not only the pure techniques but also advice, key points and cautions for their use which are often only learned the hard way.
The Real Deal.......2007-05-18
I wish I had bought this book while I still an actively practicing Judo. It is comprehensive and impressive. I wanted to reconnect to the dicipline and history of Judo, and this did the trick. My son has become very interested in Judo as well as other cultures becuse of this book. What more can a you ask?
Recommended for all Martial Artists.......2006-08-10
Each page has about six pictures showing progressions of the various techniques. Some pages have four pictures and some have eight or nine. Description headings include: Description, Practice, Important Points, Caution and Remarks. It starts with judo fundamental principles and etiquette and progresses to posture, exercises, falls and breaking of balance. The book continues to descriptions of practice and philosophy. After the first fifty pages, forty pages of throws, ten pages each of grappling and strangling are followed by another ten pages of counters and defenses. Fifteen pages of joint locks follow with seven pages of ground strategy. Then twenty four pages of defensive and counter techniques for throws with multiple counters or defenses per throw lead into a brief discussion of modification of technique and adapting to circumstances and several pages of more specialized techniques. A few pages of counter techniques for practice are finally followed by methods to revive the injured.
All in all, this is one of the very best books on martial arts I have seen. It belongs in every martial artist's head, but you have to read it and practice it to get it there.
Simply the best.......2006-05-15
Fantastic source of info & techniques. Definitely one of my most used resources.
Simply the best.......2006-02-28
This puts 90% of the judo books in the shade. A must have!

Hoping to Visit Brittany & Normandy.......2006-08-18
This is a detailed and helpful guide book which appears to cover almost all of the questions a visitor to Brittany & Normandy might ask before and after arrival. The Contents page shows the variety of subjects covered. Among the many sections, there are recommendations on preparing for unexpected health problems; there is a brief language/phrase section and a glossary for quick French/English or English/French one word references on a travelor's most commonly needed words/translations. For each area reviewed, there are brief commentaries about history, points of interest and transport. In the Directory section there are suggestions and telephone numbers and references for finding rentals, camp sites, hotels, restaurants, culture, shopping, and regional attributes and regional agriculture. There are contact numbers or addresses for variously priced lodgings and overnight accommodations as well as other services. Much information, including small maps, is squeezed into this 368 page book to read and savor ahead of the trip, as well as for every day reference while touring. This little book could be the only Brittany & Normandy guide book needed, tucked into your carry-on...and kept in pocket for use from landing until departure.
An excellent guide and a must buy.......2005-06-29
I hesitated to buy this book to plan a recent tritp to Normandy -- with a high-speed connection to the Internet, doing research with travel books seemed so pointless and expensive. Besides, buying the book seemed to open Pandora's Box -- we're doing quite a bit of traveling nowadays, and if we bought this book, shouldn't we buy a book for every country we're visiting in the coming months? This could easily rack up expenses for frugral travelers.
It turned out to be a great decision to spend the dozen or so dollars on this book. Jam-packed with helpful information and wonderful maps (besides the ones in the DK travel guides, Lonely Planet offers better maps than any guide book I've tried to use), I referred to this book over and over again during both planning and travel.
The information in it is occasionally outdated, but no book is ever completely up to date. For example, prices have gone up and hours have changed. Not a problem though, because the book offers phone numbers and websites to check the info. We used it to find campsites and places to visit. It pointed us to things that we would otherwise never have known existed -- e.g. the Pont du Normandie and the Route des Traditions. And it steered us clear of some cities so that we could spend more time on what we were interested in.
The book also includes sections on the history of the area and information about local foods and customs. It's just chock full of everything you'll need to plan your trip -- info about tolls and transportation, French phrases, etc. Definitely pick this one up!
A Business-like Guide.......2004-08-18
This one does exactly what it says on the packet. Accurate, up-to-date (it's a year newer than its competitors) and easy-to-use. A bit low on illustrations and pictures, so not got the coffee-table factor, but that's not what it's for. Very good on camp site info.

Book Description
I thought becoming a teenager was going to be fun. Instead., the summer I turned thirteen my life turned upside-down. Dad lost his job and we moved into my aunt and uncle's beach house. Sounded great-but not When I had to share a room with my boy-crazy cousin Fay. Fay was having plenty of fun, but I just got to sit on the beach and watch. It seemed like Fay had the kind of teenage life I only dreamed of. But then the end of summer came and everything seemed different. It looked as if my life might even turn fun-side-up.

True to the time of life, and the location.......2004-06-26
This was one of my favorite books in my young adulthood. Soon after I had moved away from my bayfront house in the town in the book (yes, it's a real town!) I discovered this book on the library shelves. I was amazed that the author was able to capture the essence of North Beach so well. She also does a very good job with the relationships of the girls...I remember that age and the so called "friends" I made. For me it will always be a reminder of my childhood. Highly recommended from someone who has been there :)
And to correct a previous review from someone...This did not take place in New England...Baltimore and North Beach are both in Maryland.
A Great Read!.......2001-07-28
I first read this book when I was in Middle School and now that I'm almost 21, it still ranks right at the top of my list of all-time favorites! A great book for a mother and daughter to read together.
Wonderful Memory.......2000-12-02
I first read this when I was ten years old, and I searched for years for something like it. I related to it, and thrived on this book as a child. After many years, I still think of this book with warm memories and recommend it for any child growing up, dealing with confusing feelings. It helped me and made me feel not so alone.
Childhood memories.......2000-03-20
I first read this book when I was 10, and it's been a favorite of mine for 5 years now. Even today, it powerfully conveys the difficulty of growing up. Kathleen has insecurities about her looks, longings for love, and conflict in her family. As I read, I feel as if I'm right there with her as she rebels and grows. The story is so realistic, with great dialogue. I'd reccomend it to any girl who's having a rough time being teenager. "The Jellyfish Season" is also a roadmap for preteens who don't know what to expect and a trip down memory lane for women who've already been there.
Beautiful!.......1999-11-08
This is a great a book... but I only think it deserves four stars. This book may make girls think it's okay to lie, cheat, and disobey their parents. Although it's just the setting for the great, wonderful story, be careful. Other than that, A GREAT BOOK!

Book Description
What role does consumption play in Japanese lives that are more than study, work, and shopping? How have those lives changed since World War II as Japan has wrestled with the meaning of white-collar careers, increasing independence for women, changing family values, a shrinking birth rate, and an aging population? Japan's first think tank devoted to the study of consumer behavior was created to answer these questions. In this book, an anthropologist reads its research, exploring Japan through the eyes of Japanese researchers and discovering patterns of change that are both uniquely Japanese and shared by consumers in other advanced industrial nations.
Customer Reviews:
Consuming Japan.......2003-09-07
McCreery is an anthropologist who has spent years working in the Japanese advertising industry -- not working in the sense of anthropological field work, but actually earning a living in the Japanese advertising industry. His book draws both on his insights into the industry and its products from this perspective, and his anthropological training. It is a data-rich book that ingeneously makes use of advertising or marketing research to create portraits of what advertisers think about different generations or sub-sets of Japanese consumers. It is a fascinating mosaic of materials and in many ways an experimental ethnography. Highly recommended.
Understanding Japanese generations.......2002-03-20
You, as well as I, or lot of people more have heard stereotypes of Japan and its people, for sure. Maybe you use such stereotypes when talking about any topic on Japan. However, there are very good explanations for them, and I recommend you this book to know such basics.
In the first half, you'll read about Japan's history and the evolution of its society. In the second, you'll use those arguments to understand the behaviour of the groups of Japanese identified through the book.
The book set clearly two distinctions:
1. Talk about groups of Japanese, not "the Japanese," that is, don't use stereotypes.
2. Consider the time. Any argument is valid only in a certain period of time.
On that second point, the book was edited in 2001. It has arguments for 2005 or so. After that, you should look for new arguments.
Japanese consumers explained.......2000-06-08
The expertise gained from years of experience in Japanese advertising is supplemented with interviews and translations from Hakuhodo's think-tank newsletter on consumer mindsets. Highly recommended.
A Very Worthwhile Book.......2000-05-29
Japanese Consumer Behavior is a challenging book. There are multiple frames of reference: an analytical outsider, analyzing insiders analyzing their own culture, and changing trends within that culture. And that is just the approach. Then there is the data, relatively rapid changes across generations within a culture in response to major post-World War II, economic, gender-role, urbanizing, and, well, other real big changes. In essence there is a real fine grained analysis coupled with an analysis of the larger trends. And then there is the weird sense of dislocation, of finding "sneaker middles" in Japan bearing an almost but not quite resemblence to "yuppies" and trying to put a finger on what that "almost" but "not quite" is. The traditional anthropological road map one acquires does not apply very well to this book, hence it is an active reader book. If anyone is interested in what anthropology is going to be like in the future this is a good place to start.

Book-How to do everything with your GPS.......2007-09-22
The book was very informative and told just about all you need to know about using a GPS unit in most all situations and it did it in an informative and sometimes jokingly way which made it very interesting reading and just hard to stop reading, you just kept having to go a little farther.
very useful.
How to do everything with your GPS.......2006-03-09
Great book!
A lot of great tips.
A whole lot of useful information to get your GPS running at full speed ahead.
Good info but very general.......2006-02-15
I think the title of this book is a little aggressive. It really doesn't tell you much about HOW to do anything unless you own an iQue 3600. It does, however, cover the many things you might want to do with your GPS so if you are just interested in what a GPS could do for you then this is a good place to start.
About one third of the book covers the iQue 3600 in good detail. I don't have one of those so I can't tell you how accurate it is.
Don't bother !.......2005-09-12
A very disappointing book.
very little useful information about using GPS for geocaching.
most of what IS here can be gotten for free on the many web sites dedicated to GPS, and on the excellent forums some of these web sites have.
Very helpful for beginners.......2004-02-11
I purchased two copies of this book, one for me and one for my dad. I was most interested in the geocaching game, which is really fun. The book helped me figure out what kind of GPS to buy and how to use it for the game. My dad just got one of those IQUE GPS/pdas, and the book has a couple really good chapters on that. There's maybe not as much "how to" stuff in some chapters as there could be, but I learned a lot about GPS. I recommend it for anyone who's new to GPS or just bought an IQUE.
