It got me through Econometrics.......2002-01-26

This was an extremely useful book for the understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. Each topic had examples to show how the formulas work. The computer chapter went over the programming in SAS, Excel, and Eviews for the problems in the book. Best of all, the problems had answers. This is a must-have for beginning statistics and econometrics since it starts from scratch, and for theory students in search of an application.

Customer Reviews:

I'm in LOVE with the authors of this book!.......2006-05-29

This book took me on a deep journey through the indigenous peasant world of Campesino a Campesino, a fascinating movement working for food sovereignty and environmental sustainability. I had no idea of its existence or of the dramatic struggles of its protagonists. On one hand, it is told through the eyes of the peasants themselves as they brave repressive regimes, war, globalization and poverty. On the other, the author weaves in his own observations and thoughtful analysis of how and why these events occur. It is powerfully and passionately written, without losing any of its sharp analytical edge. I learned a lot from this book, and will use it in my teaching and simply to share in the wisdom of the peasants.

Book Description

Whether you're a runner, skier, rower, cyclist, or triathlete, as an endurance athlete you need to maximize your lactate threshold. Elite athletes and coaches know that training your body to manage lactic acid is essential to achieving your optimal racing time. Now you can use this knowledge to maximize your endurance performance.

Lactate Threshold Training explains the theory behind the training and presents practical programs to condition your body to train efficiently and race as fast as possible. The book includes

• heart-rate based training programs,
• tests for self-assessment of lactate threshold,
• scientific guidelines to avoid overtraining,
• advice on nutrition, and
• workout examples of elite endurance athletes.

Author Peter Janssen, MD, is recognized as one of the pioneers in lactate threshold training. Dr. Janssen has put together this complete and comprehensive training manual through research, training, and testing of elite endurance athletes. If you want to take your endurance performance to the limit, this is one book you won't want to miss.

Customer Reviews:

Inconsistent.......2005-09-12

One minute training is being based on max heart rate, the next it's based on your lactate threshold. There are just too many contradictions throughout the book.

Great Book To Improve Aerobic Conditioning.......2005-01-15

Next to the book, Rowing Faster, by Dr.Volker Nolte; Lactate Threshold Training,by Dr.Peter Janssen, is also a must have for any coach.

A good start when learning about how to use your HR monitor........2003-10-23

For someone how just wants to learn more about how the body works while working out, but doesn't want to get a degree in sports science, this is a book that can really help. I found this book to be an excellent reference for when I have questions about endurance training. I can say that I now run faster for longer because of the ideas I found in this book.

quite good.......2003-10-16

simple language that reads quite fast (5 hours total). It shows the principle but does not detail how to set up a full and comprehensive training program over a few months of training. Although it could be argued that all the information is present to do so by yourself. The book contains a lot of information on nutrition which I feel is pertinent to understanding why and how this may affect lactate measurments. Interesting tidbits of info on the state of doping procedures in cycling (how pertinent is this???).

Lastly, if this is one of the first books you buy on overal training and nutrition, then it is quite good. If you already have a good library and adequate coaching, this may not be for you if you expected the whole book's content on LTtraining. Strange to see graphs with missing titles and units.

good stuff.......2003-01-22

As I was searching through my college coaches shelves I discovered this little thin book, opened it and discovered a science book rather than book on reading. However when one looks past the formulas and math, the text and information provided for you are amazing. Not only do I train myself using the methods and information, but I also train my team according to what I have discovered, learned and experienced through the use of the text. It is a very valuable tool for those who are not afraid of some math and some serious thinking. I will purchase the new edition and hopefully it will contain updates in science, nutrition, as well as other various fields that not only help strengthen my own being, but my teams as well.

buy APA format software online.......2007-07-24

I recommend PERRLA. It's cheaper and it works in tandem with your MS Word.

Download it at www.perrla.com That's it. Much easier than this program and so so so much less expensive.

Not what I thought.......2007-05-21

Unless I still have to figure it out, I have found this product to not be as user friendly and helpful as I had hoped.

apa style helper.......2007-05-21

It was very difficult to figure this product out! Once figured out it is helpful. However, the reference page will not print with your paper. The software help page state that they are working on a patch to fix it.

Worked great with me!!.......2007-04-25

I don't know why some reviewers felt this software didn't do a good job but it did great with me!!

I had to write a paper and used this software and I was doing last minute work. The software helped me a great deal and saved me from screwing up. It was so easy to learn. I kept writing and followed the instructions and after I finished and did a run up, it turned out perfect!!

I would definitely recommend it since it is so easy to learn and makes writing paper much more easier!!

Helper? Give me a break!.......2007-02-11

I am in a doctorial program and thought this would be a great tool. After spending several hours entering data, everything looked great until it came time to stop working for the night. I received an error message and my data was lost.

Over the next few days the ITT guys at the college where I work were unable to make the program work. I emailed the publisher (using their help desk) that was no help. I called and a support tech sent me to a web site to download a patch - didn't work! I called back and the tech help said, "sorry, I don't know what to tell you."

I just learned how to do citations the old fashion way; just didn't feel like wasting more work time accomplishing nothing.

That being said, I would give the printed manual (APA Style) four stars. It is very helpful. However, to receive five stars they need to simplify it some.

Book Description

Survey of more than 100,000 consumers reveals how they want to be treated, and the way they want to buy.

What do customers really want? Not all retailers are in the habit of listening when customers talk. They can do better, according to master customer service speaker, author, and consultant T. Scott Gross. In fact, research shows that unhappy customers talk about negative experiences for an average of 18 months. Once they have a bad experience, it will take 12 positive experiences to make up for it. However, if a complaint is resolved, count on an intensely loyal customer.

In When Customers Talk, the third volume in his customer service series, Gross partners with consumer researcher Joe Pilotta from BIGresearch to draw conclusions for frontline retailers and managers based on the insights of 100,000 retail customers. This approachable, must-have guide offers detailed insights to help retailers learn how to anticipate customer needs and take advantage of emerging trends.

Written in an engaging style, and backed by statistical research, When Customers Talk helps retailers:

Bridge the disconnect between retailers' and customers' attitudes. Ask the right questions to get answers that will make a difference. Turn the knowledge of customers' habits into sales. Leverage customers' loyalty for a lifetime relationship: heart, mind, and wallet. Understand pricing and discounting to maximize profits. Tap into technology to avoid being blindsided by changes.

With customer insight ""straight from the horse's mouth,"" retail managers disregard this information at their peril!
