A Gem of a Book.......2003-11-12

We tried applying the techniques outlined in this book in our organization. - It works! - I think this little book is probably overlooked in the grand scheme of change management literature, and it is a pitty. - The authors are not Harvard Professors, but their suggestions really work, because they are street-wise and pragmatic. - I cannot recommend this enough.

Not Very Helpful.......2003-08-13

This book is not bad, but there are better books on organizational change. "Publishers Weekly" review said the case studies were "lackluster." That's putting it kindly; they don't add anything to the book.

Good book, plus..........2003-06-19

This is a very good book. In addition, I strongly recommend "Strategic Organizational Change" by Beitler.

Finally something substantial on Change Management.......2002-02-08

Excellent descriptions of the challenges associated with a major change effort in organizations. Practical advice with checklists to guide managers. Best and most practical book I've read. This book offers not only what you need to do to manage a major change effort, but also provides tactics on how to resurrect a change effort that is stalled - great advice.

Mourier and Smith provide real-life advice, obviously learned from years of practical application of these tactics. This book is "real-world" - not just philosophy and theory.

A "How To" Book on Change Management.......2001-11-17

What I like about this book, is the fact that it is practical. Many books in the area provide the reader with the WHAT needs to be managed during change efforts. This book provides the HOW TO.

I also liked the emphasis on both tactics for new change projects AND tactics for reviving efforts that are stalling. The many checklists are helpful and the focus on what Change Sponsors must do, what Project Team Members must do, and what Change Agents must do is quite appropriate.

I would have liked a little more focus on how to manage people in the organization who resist change.

I will be advising my clients to get copies of this book.

Product Description

The authors have endeavoured to put together their own theoretical and practical guide to analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the use of students and researchers who have not had a formal course in this technique, but nevertheless require to employ this form of analysis as part of their research. From their experience in teaching this material and applying it to research problems, the authors have created a summary of the statistical theory underlying ANOVA, together with important issues, guidance, practical methods, references, and hints about using statistical software. These have been organized so that the student can learn the logic of the analytical techniques but also use the book as a reference guide to experimental designs, realizing along the way what pitfalls are likely to be encountered.

This is possibly the best book on Greco Roman Wrestling in print. I have a copy of Greco- Roman Wrestling by M.

Greco Roman teaches holds for above waist, and is practiacal for street fighing, and has holds you can use staying on your feet ...

good book of basic throws.......2005-09-19

this book covers some basic greco-roman throws, as well as some exercies to build you up for the throws so you can proform the movments required. overall i would say get this book if you are looking to add some stand-up throws to your grappling or fighting game.

Greco-Roman Wrestling.......2005-09-17

Excellent book. I recommend it to all wrestlers, Judo, BJJ and Submission grapplers. Upper body moves and applications are discussed in great detail along with body positioning. The book emphasizes that even though you can not use legs to trips your opponent positioning you body nonetheless is paramount. Will little modification these techniques can be applied to MMA as well.

Great for Observers, for Understanding and Insight.......2005-05-16

I would like to describe how extremely helpful this book is to a spectator of the sport of wrestling. Since I am merely a fan or observer of this great sport, I don't have the inside knowledge to understand exactly what I am seeing when I watch wrestling. This book has been an excellent reference text and teaching guide for me to learn more about my favorite sport.

Since so much happens in such a short amount of time in wrestling matches - which is one of the reasons this sport is truly special and so exciting to watch (no endless waiting for something to happen, no standing around, no lengthy time-outs) - this book does a wonderful job explaining in depth what actions the observer is witnessing.

I know this book is intended as a training/how-to manual, but I feel it is great for non-participants (cheerers) too. I intended to pass this book on to a family member to encourage participation in the sport, but I am afraid I am keeping it for myself, at least for the time being.

Great photos, easily understandable technical/strategy information, and a nice history/background section - this book has it all. I already had a tremendous appreciation for the sport of wrestling as far as the sportsmanship, strength, endurance, strategy, training, skill, etc. Now I have a greater understanding of the complexities and nuances as well. This has given me wonderful insight into something I could admire, but only slightly understand before. And I am planning to employ some of the flexibility exercises in a non-wrestling context. This is simply a wonderful book for everyone to enjoy, not just wrestlers and coaches.

J.H. Sweet, author of The Fairy Chronicles, and wrestling fan

Decent book on a hard-to-find subject.......2005-04-17

This is only the second book I've been able to find on Greco-Roman wrestling, and while it's pretty good, it's nowhere near the level of William Martell's text. British karateka-turned-bouncer-turned-pioneer Geoff Thompson presents basic Greco-Roman stance, grips, and throws. The basics are covered in a single chapter, then each throw he presents (ten, with some minor variations) is given a chapter all it's own, with between two and ten pages (including photos). I find it disappointing that he doesn't cover any of the underlying principles for these throws, as each throw DOES follow certain principles that are almost unique to Greco. With all that said, the black & white photos are quite clear, which is a plus; the text itself is well-written; and Mr. Thompson always keeps the techniques in context of what he's trying to demonstrate: workable moves for street defense. Overall, I've gotta confess that I find the book unextrordinary, but it's decent enough for those with no access to Greco-Roman wrestling throws, which are among the most devistating in the martial arts.

Gain Knowledge in the Understanding of Addiction.......2007-08-10

This book was an eye-opener. I specifically bought it for an online course I am taking towards my CASAC certification. It gave me information that I wasn't aware of. An excellent book for anyone, even if you are not in the field of counseling or medicine.

Good Insight.......2007-08-09

The subject of illegal drug abuse in the US and all around the world is explored in this book. The book provides thorough information about chemical charateristics, type of drug, street names, origin, the ethnic group or race the drug is associated with, synthetic forms of the drug as well as an interesting history of the particular drug and their use dated back centuries ago!

Overall I found this book an informative, engaging read and would strongly recommend it to anyone!

Facinating.......2007-04-06

Unbiased look at American facinations with drugs. Gives all the dangers, yet explains WHY folks would use them.

Excellent, readable review of the drug world.......2006-09-05

This is among the most readable reference books written. The history and relationships of abusable drugs are covered. Then, commonly abused drugs receive individual attention. The information seems accurate and factual, and the author is a University-based M.D.

Unfortunately, he doesn't always note the source of some quotes clearly in the text. This leaves one wondering, at times, if the quote was intended to demonstrate a truth or a misconception -- especially if the topic in question is controversial. There are only occasional, minor references to sensationalistic stories that leave one wondering if they're true.

The author's bias (having read 2/3rds of the book so far), seems to be that the "War on Drugs" has not worked, but he's not a promoter of drug use, noting frequently the enormously harmful effects of drugs on both individuals and society. He describes both the positive and negative uses of drugs.

While this book contains a great deal of medical info, it is written for an educated layman and is not filled with the arcane technical writing and jargon of typical medical texts. Highly recommended overall.

Teachers, Take Note!.......2006-07-28

I thought I already knew quite a bit about illegal drugs, but this book is CHOCK-FULL of information. What stands out in my memory is the woodcut of the medieval "witch" applying LSD to her vaginal mucous membrane while riding a broomstick - wooow!

I thought I was a mini-expert on Malignant Hyperthermia, only to learn the new drug Ecstasy causes MH and is treated similarly with ice and Dantrolene. He also describes how to use Prozac (a re-uptake inhibitor) to protect oneself from nerve terminal destruction caused by Ecstasy.

These fun little nuggets of information could be used to liven up any Biology lecture! I especially liked how he compared the effects and risks of each drug of abuse and gave examples of famous users. He made what could have been a boring topic, very engaging and relevant.

D&D Special Edition Players Handbook.......2006-11-12

The Book Arived through amazon quicker than the estimated time. But that was only the begining, the book is really well held together the black leather cover gives it a timless/omoness sort of appearance, but the feel was well worth what I payed for it on amazon. The book feels as though it belongs in the traveling pouch of a wizard. (Just a word of caution the rest of the book is exactally the same as the D&D 3.5 Players Handbook even the artwork is the same) This is I Feel a great edition to and obsessed D&D fans collection even if they are not that big of a 3.5 fan.
