A book of workplace transformation for those who are ready!.......1998-08-22

Margaret Lulic's book offers extraordinary insight into what's important in life and work. I read the book two years ago, and started to make changes in my own business--an architecture firm of 35 people--that have helped to give every individual within the firm the opportunity to blossom, find their passion, find a greater purpose in the workplace. The results speak for themselves. We have a highly motivated, and extraordinarily talented and creative team of people who are in the process of revolutionizing how we think about the way we live. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It precipitates transformation for those who are ready.

Here are some of the guiding principles to ³Who We Could Be At Work², according to Lulic:

* A vision, without a task, is but a dream. A task, without a vision, is drudgery. A vision, with tasks, is the hope of the world.

* Without hope, nothing changes. Without hope, we stop dreaming. Without dreams, we can create nothing new.

* Hope is a clear intuitive knowing that recognizes that good can triumph when charged with courage and unshakable determination.

* I¹ve learned that doubt is part of growth. The challenge is to live with questions, not always to come up with answers. What are we in this for? What¹s the big picture?

* What is my gift? What is it that I have to give to the world?

* If I am living my purpose and vision, I will live from a place of inspiration. If I am inspired, others will be inspired by my presence. They will find their own fire, passion, and reason for doing things well.

* Good bosses must provide good direction, but at the same time, value people and honor their aspirations in their work and as human beings. They must create an empowering vision people can relate to and constantly communicate that vision.

* The laws of nature do not demand that we inherit the future. Rather, it is ours to create. We can create a dramatically different, healing workplace.

* The great teachers have shown that if we seek change, we must first embody the change ourselves. By living it, we mirror it and influence others more deeply.

* More and more people are asking, ³Is this all there is?² We need to create more meaning in our lives and work. Ask, ³What was I born to contribute through my whole life¹s work?²

* Business is the most powerful institution on earth. Responsibility must be commensurate with power. Organizations must ask, ³What higher purpose should our bottom line be serving?²

* The data is in. Individuals and companies can do good and perform well financially. The question is, ³Do we have the courage to try?²

* How do your create courage and vision? Ask deep questions of yourself and allow a dialogue to emerge between mind, heart, spirit and body.

Book Description

Sustainable agriculture is not just a goal to be attained; it is an ongoing, dynamic process. Rather than a destination, it is a journey.

At the present time, the vast majority of the world's agriculture is non-sustainable. If this self-destructive trend is allowed to continue, future generations will suffer enormously. This book is about reversing that trend, by making world agriculture more sustainable.

On a tangible level, sustainable agriculture means raising food crops and livestock using systems that maintain and enhance the health of the soil and the environment. Part of a more general commitment to sustainable development, the goal of sustainable agriculture is to meet the food needs of the present without endangering the Earth's capacity to meet the needs of future generations. But the goals of sustainable agriculture go far beyond food security, encompassing many ecological, economic, and social dimensions. The goal is widespread adoption of highly productive farming and marketing systems that:

* prevent starvation through local food security;
* regenerate soils;
* enhance communities and family farms;
* promote the health of farm workers and consumers;
* protect the environment and biodiversity;

Gradually, governments are realizing the hidden dangers and real costs of chemical-intensive Green Revolution methods of farming. The public has begun to challenge the wisdom of industrialized farming systems that promise short-term gains, but yield long-term destruction, deplete and ruin natural resources, and threaten the health of both the people and their ecosystems. Donors and government officials are turning more often to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and innovative farmers in efforts to develop and encourage adoption of more sustainable farming methods. Successful efforts are highlighted, and persistent barriers are explored.

Part 1 includes 13 chapters on topics such as:

* Expanding the vision of sustainable agriculture
* Farmer-centered development
* Overcoming hunger and food insecurity
* Urban agriculture
* Public policies promoting sustainable agriculture
* Community Supported Agriculture
* Dominance by transnational corporations
* The increasing role of NGOs
* Can organic agriculture feed the world?

Book Description

"A chilling account of... the global resurgence of this disease..."--The New York Times

"Tuberculosis--a nineteenth century disease--has come back with a vengeance... Timebomb is the extraordinary story of courage and cowardice in confronting the global TB epidemic."--Donna E. Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services, President of the University of Miami

Download Description

Written by one of the world's preeminent TB experts and an award-winning medical writer, Timebomb details the evolution and current state of the multi-drug resistant TB epidemic. From the overcrowded prisons of Siberia to the streets of New York City, the authors sound the alarm on this global epidemic and herald the work of the men and women who are laboring on the frontlines, waging real-life biowarfare, in a scientific race to defuse the ticking bomb.

scary and revealing.......2005-12-21

For those of you unfamiliar with tuberculosis: TB is a life-threatening disease that is caused by bacteria. It is treatable, but the treatment is lengthy (at least 6-8 months) and relatively costly (around $900 in the US). If patients do not receive the correct combination of antibiotics, or if they stop treatment prematurely, they may develop (or transmit) multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, a disease which is nearly impossible to treat, treatment requiring up to 2 years of taking very expensive (up to $250,000 for 1 case of multi-drug-resistant TB) antibiotics that have a lot of side effects.

In Timebomb Lee Reichman gives a very clear description of all the factors involved in Tb, its treatment, the ways in which such treatment may fail and the dire consequences of failure. He also gives personal account of his experiences with multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, with an emphasis on the situations in the United States and Russia. In the beginning of the 1990s there was an outbreak of (multi-drug-resistant) tuberculosis is New York: a team of very dedicated public health officials, doctors and community health workers fought the outbreak by treating patients as much as possible at home and were capable of reversing the situation, be it at very high costs (1 billion dollars in excess spending on health care). These costs would have been unnecessary if policy makers had in the past realized the threat that TB poses to the society once you become complacent.

In Russia, on the other hand, doctors are far more influential and there are a lot of very perverse incentives that stigmatise patients to such an extent that they actually do not come forward with their TB: they are locked in hospitals for up to 2 years for treatment and 1 in every 5 TB patients is operated upon, even when these operations are absolutely not necessary. And in prisons everything goes wrong that can go wrong with regard to transmission and control of TB and the emergence of multi-drug-resistant TB: overcrowded prisons, interrupted treatment and amnesty for TB prisoners that have not finished their treatment, And all this combined with an unjustified national pride that prohibits the Russians to ask for help or to accept evidence-based interventions that are promoted by the World Health Organization.

I have worked in a few of the prisons in Russia myself to try and improve the diagnosis of TB and the descriptions are very recognizable for me. I wish I had read this book before I started that job, because it had given me a better understanding of the forces I had to fight against.

anger.......2002-10-05

This book is captivating and reads well, however I have found myself overcome with rage and anger while reading. Here's a couple of thoughts. First of all intellectual imperialism. Russia lost the cold war -- therefore the achievements of Soviet research, science etc are useless, primitive, unscientific. The author says, for example, that "English is the language of science", and that Russian doctors who speak English and can therefore read scientific literature in English are far more advanced than Russian doctors who only read literature in Russian, since Russian methods of medicine are at least 50 years behind Western ones. (I have never heard of an American scientist, however, who had learned Russian and studied Russian scientific and medical literature.) The author dismisses Russian treatment methods as barbaric just because they are different from the orthodoxy of treatment prescribed in the States. That's one point. Secondly, extremely frustrating is the absense of numerical data or statistics. DOTS is always more effective than the methods used by Russian medics, but no stats or studies as to this issue are ever sited. The one time the author does site a study (Tomsk) where 50 patients treated with DOTS were compared with 50 patients treated with the classical Soviet method, he is forced to admit that the cure rates were equal!!!!!!! So what then of his argument that Soviet medical treatment is not based on evidence and is barbaric? Also, TB was on a steady decline throughout the Soviet period, -- isn't that evidence enough that the Soviet way to treat TB is not entirely bogus?

Thirdly: the comparison between TB treatment in the US and in Russia is entirely inappropriate. It would make far more sense to compare Russia with a country that has similar rates of TB infection in the population, as well as similar economic conditions.

Fourth: The author talks about TB as if all there was to it is inhailing the bacteria. Meanwhile, the facts are that 80-90% of the people exposed to the bacteria never develop the disease. It is only when their immune systems are weakened (by poor nutrition, homelessness, stress, etc etc) that people actually get sick with TB. The author completely ignores the role that the social chaos of post-Soviet times and the sky-rocketing rates of poverty, starvation, malnutrition that followed the establishment of "democracy" play in the tuberculosis epidemic.

Finally: behind the fancy DOTS programme, all that is asked for is a dismantling of the social networks of support. Instead of putting people into hospitals where they will be fed, cared for, and constantly observed by a trained professional for signs of negative reactions to drugs -- make sick people walk to clinics to get anti-TB drugs. Obviously this method of treatment is "more cost effective". But is it really more effective? I would highly doubt it.

A Riveting and Absorbing Book!.......2002-04-24

This shocking book focuses on the emerging public health threat associated with the rise of multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains of tuberculosis, especially in the former Soviet bloc of countries. In an age when worldwide travel can be accomplished in days if not hours, the connectivity between what is transpiring in the underdeveloped world and within our own borders is more striking than ever before. Therefore, we must recognize the threat posed by the emergence of such strains, and prepare to deal with the almost inevitable outbreaks of such strains of TB as they begin to occur in modern western societies.

This is not an easy read, but it is a quite fascinating and eye-opening one. The spread of MDR tuberculosis with the populations of Russia and the former satellite countries is shocking, and the total number of individuals latently infected now number some two billion people, or over one third of the total world population! Given the inability of modern medicine to counteract the course of the disease or to easily cure people infected with these new strains, the threat posed by them for people in all countries cannot be over-dramatized. Tuberculosis is indeed highly contagious, spreading freely through the air from infected individuals when they speak, cough, or sneeze. The authors refer to it as the "Ebola with wings", making a tacit reference to this most deadly form of hemorrhagic fever which is quite lethal when contracted, but which is thankfully more difficult to spread since (unlike tuberculosis) it is not airborne.

The predictions of its consequences are dire indeed; MDR tuberculosis is anticipated to kill 30,000,000 in the next decade alone. It festers in the more humid and warmer reaches of the earth, from Brazil to India, from Russia to China, and it is especially dangerous in those area of the world that have the poorest existing public health infrastructures. The economic collapse of the former USSR condemned millions to conditions of enforced cohabitation with infected individuals in the most congested, least sanitary, and most poorly equipped social structures in the world. Given such an alarming rise ion incidence and prevalence of the disease entity, the risk for cross-cultural contamination is only a short air-flight away from a looming public health disaster in the small towns and mega-cities of Europe and North America. Indeed, it is hard to engage in hyperbole here to overestimate the threat.

This book is indeed a call to arms, a plea for enlightened action on the part of governments, public health agencies, pharmaceutical research conglomerates, and the general public in order to avoid the terrors that await us if we sit by without doing all we can do to ensure better safeguards and better screening find, isolate, and treat infected individuals before they can lay the groundwork for a tragic and unstoppable epidemic. This is an important and worthwhile book, and one that I heartily recommend.

Timebomb: The Global Epidemic of Multi-Drug-Resistant TB.......2002-03-27

This lively and well-written book is packed with fascinating nuggets of historical and medical information. From the "dark, Satanic mills" of the Industrial Revolution to the squalid prison cells of contemporary Russia, from Egyptian mummies to DNA fingerprinting, you will follow the trail of the TB bacillus and the heroic researchers and public health workers who remain committed to conquering it.

"Timebomb" is a winner!

Timebomb: The Global Epidemic of Multi-Drug Rfesistant Tuber.......2002-03-04

Anthrax, shmanthrax. To come down with good, productive anxiety, read about "Ebola with wings"-drug-resistant TB. And no, tuberculosis is not a thing of the past: It's here, it's now, it kills 2 million people every year. Several chapters of this book read like a detective novel. Timebomb starts by showing us Nicolay, a Russian, as he flies into New York in 1998, coughing highly infectious, drug-resistant TB bacteria into the plane's air. Then Timebomb looks into risky-to-work-in TB labs; a Siberian prison (where much of the world's TB is generated); a lung operation; the Russian medical system that's failing to control the bug; and takes us along on the dangerous rounds of an unsung heroine, a public-health worker. The book is not only well written, it's about a threat that individual members of the public can actually do something about-if they know the problem exists.

Well done field guide.......2007-05-21

An encounter with a herd of "Oreo cows" prompted me to buy this book. What's an Oreo cow? Why a Dutch Belted, as is easily determined using this book.

This slightly tongue-in-cheek guide has many of the features associated with quality field guides:
- a diagram showing the terminology for the various parts, or points, of a cow
- a short essay on how to study the cows in question to make identification easier
- instructions on how to use the Guide
- a Key which groups cows by the easiest feature to identify: color
There's even a Life List checklist -- which any serious nature watcher knows is essential for keeping score in the friendly contest of "Who's seen the most kinds?" Also included are a glossary, a bibliography, a list of breeders' associations for many of the breeds featured, and all kinds of cow-related facts and graphics.

(I could have done without the "Cow Call" -- a silly cut-out cow mask on the back page of the book)

Several other reviewers objected to the lack of photographs in this book. I have used various types of field guides with various subjects over the years and have found that a good black-and-white line drawing with good accompanying text describing the colors is nearly always superior to a photograph. That said, a few photographs would have been nice to give some idea of the actual colors of the red and brown breeds -- black and white are pretty much black and white ;-)

Anyone who prefers using secondary roads to the interstate highways has passed many a herd of cows/cattle on their journeys. This book is an excellent companion to take with you on those trips so you can be informed as to just which kind of cow you are looking at.

No Cow Photo.......2007-02-14

The book had lots of good information, but only line drawings of the cows. I was disappointed in not having color photos since this was an identification book.

A Field Guide to Cows:.......2006-11-10

I was hoping it would show colored pictures of the different breeds of cows. The inside, unlike the cover, was not in color and showed parts of the cow more than breeds. Guessed wrong on what I wanted to buy.

My husband and I really like Amazon though.

Lighthearted, Cowgazing fun........2005-04-16

A nice little book for those of us city dwellers who admire cows, but know little about them. A nice place to begin. One of the most pleasant afternoons I spent recently was sitting with a herd of cows listening to them as they cropped the grass--very soothing and relaxing. Call me crazy....

Big Disappointment.......2004-02-17

If you are looking for a cutesy book you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for information on identifying cattle of various breeds accurately - keep looking. This book has a cut out mask that you can hold in front of your face so you can moo at cows over the fence. There are no photographs of cows or anything else. Black and white sketches only. Buyer beware!!!

Book Description

Crystal and Toby brought the team to a stop. Both leaders looked over their shoulder's, past the team, past the sled, and as far behind the sled as the darkness would let them see. There was no sign of Joe anywhere. Lead dogs, Toby and Crystal must figure out what to do when their musher is missing on Alaska's Iditarod Trail.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Read!.......2006-04-06

As a teacher, every year I challenge my students to choose a musher to track during the Iditarod in March. As they keep track, they also have to read as many pages as the mushers are traveling in miles in order to try to make it to the finish line first. This book is one of my favorite supplements to my program. The kids love the suspense in it. It is a wonderful story that portrays kindness, perseverance, teamwork, and many other traits so vital for kids to learn. This book is an excellent read for anyone.

Man and Dog, the Eternal Bond.......2000-04-21

When I think about dog sled racing, I don't think about who wins the race. I think about the amazing bond that exists between musher and dogs, a bond that is lovingly captured in "Where's the Boss?" While written for children, it manages to capture the attention of the child in all of us, the child who never doubts for one moment that their dog, in the same situation, would do exactly the same. Brave, resourceful Toby, new to his position as lead dog, and Crystal, who finds it in herself to be a heroine, are "every dog" in that sense.

In addition to this universal appeal, there's much to learn from the story. You learn not only of the dogs' bond to their human musher as you read, but something of the trail and mushing itself. Almost without you noticing it, Harter slips in tidbits of info on a wide variety of topics relating to mushing, ranging from the races themselves, to kennel set-ups, dog care before and during races, and the importance of trust and team chemistry. Thus, you come away from what appears a standard children's book knowing much more about dog and human behavior, as well as mushing, than you realize. Just as Joe looks after his team, Toby and Crystal, as well as the rest, instinctively look after Joe, and one can only hope that Harter will share more of their adventures with us soon.

This is one of three books by the late Helen Van Wyk all of which are very good. She has the gift of a teacher who can convey ideas simply and clearly. The book is filled with pages of examples in color which are practical and immediately useful. She gives examples of dozens and dozens of items and how to paint them. This is a great resource book for the artist. Check out her other two books also.
