A Dictionary Should Not be Biased!!!.......2000-10-05
The hallmark of a good dictionary is fairness to all schools of economics, but the editor, Robert Beynon, lives up to his profession of "yellow" journalism. Imagine a dictionary on "globalization"--the end of communist command economies, global free markets and entrepreneurship, the dynamic financial markets, currency crises, etc.--and the editor has NO entries for Milton Friedman and the Chicago school!!! The Routledge dictionary has separate entries on Keynes, Marx, Solow, Galbraith, Malthus, Marshall, Mill, Say, Smith, Pigou, Schumpeter, Hicks, Modigliani, and Ricardo, but no entries on Friedman, Stigler, Fisher, Mises or Hayek. The latter two deserve special mention because they were the principal economists to predict globalization and the collapse of Soviet central planning! The book doesn't even have an entry on Paul A. Samuelson. Go figure.
A poignant summary of modern economics.......1999-05-16
This book is a must read for students of economics, policymakers and business people alike. The essay contributions cover a host of interesting topics in economics not to mention an impressive list of contributors. I especially enjoyed the piece by Paul Ormerod on What Economics is Not. The papers summarize the economic topics in a very reader friendly format as well as raising some interesting questions for the future of economics. The A-Z entries are a useful guide for readers with a less formal background in economics

Change-ABLE Organization: Key Management Practices for Speed and Flexibility, by management consultants William R. Daniels and John G. Mathers, describes an integrated system for maintaining a steady and dynamic growth pattern in today's rapidly changing business world. Culled from 25 years of experience in companies such as Intel, Genesco, and Motorola, Change-ABLE Organization explains five specific practices--hierarchical structures made up of linked teams, clearly defined key goals, regular work reviews, group decision-making, and procedures for individuals to manage and monitor their own performance--that have proven successful in large and small companies alike.
Book Description
Organization leaders at all levels in today's fast-paced business world are searching for management skills to sustain consistent performance while they increase their speed and flexibility.
Based on participative control backed by a uniquely integrated and pragmatic system of five practices, Change-ABLE™ Organization has been practiced in large and small computer, consumer goods, government and telecommunications settings like Intel, Etec Systems, Genesco, and Motorola.
This book is the result of those experiences and includes key practices and values, the use of graphics and watercraft analogies to contrast highly adaptive and ineffective organizational cultures, warnings about consequences of becoming Change-ABLE, and an in-depth look at one medium-sized organization's experience and success with the method.
For those investigating a complete system of management organization and to stop practices such as “Go with the Flow,” Working Alone...Together,” and “Autocratic Control,” Change-ABLE Organization guides the way.
Customer Reviews:
Practical approach to business success.......2002-04-19
This book is highly readable, and contains all the practices you'll need to make your organization successful and ready to meet its challenges. You'll have enough information here to train your staff and peers on a proven approach that has resulted in Fortune 500 successes for Intel, Motorola and other companies that Daniels and Mather have worked with. Once you've started using these methods, you'll wonder how you survived without them.
Watercraft analogyes to analyze organizations & culture.......2000-04-13
This excellent book describes organizational cultures in terms of different kinds of watercraft. It covers small entrepreneur, dot com like cultures, professional associations, large corporations and bureaucracies and brings a "map" to diagnose and migrate from one to other safely.

Book Description
n this compelling book, Dr. Darshak Sanghavi takes the reader on a dramatic tour of a child's eight vital organs, beginning with the lungs and proceeding through the heart, blood, bones, brain, skin, gonads, and gut. Along the way, we meet children and families in extraordinary circumstances-a premature baby named Adam Flax who was born with undeveloped lungs, a teenage boy with a positive pregnancy test, and a young girl who keeps losing weight despite her voracious appetite. In a deeply personal narrative, Sanghavi provides a richly detailed-and humanized-portrait of how the pediatric body functions in both sickness and health.
Customer Reviews:
Phenomenal.......2006-12-01
As an undergraduate interested in pediatrics but without an extensive knowledge of the body as of yet, this book was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Sanghavi provides a frank, honest view of children's health that I couldn't put down. Wonderful book.
GREAT!!.......2006-02-25
It's an easy and interesting read. Awesome inside look at some of the cases encountered by a pediatrician-- DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT!
Fascinating.......2005-07-26
I'm not a doctor but I am the mother of a child and I found this book hard to put down. The author did a terrific job of packaging very clinical information in a compelling and readable book. The stories of his personal and professional experiences really bring the book to life. It's a must for every parent.
Experience life as a pediatrician.......2004-06-01
This book is a highly readable journey ranging from intensely personal experiences and explanations of the underpinnings of childhood medical ailments. Dr. Sanghavi explains case studies like a master storyteller, so that the reader learns experientially, which is much more enjoyable than perusing a dry textbook. It is not a comprehensive handbook of what ails children, nor is it meant to be. But it does give insight on a wide variety of medical conditions that may affect your child or the children of friends and family. Besides being appealing to any parent, this book will appeal to those who are fascinated by the function of the human body, what life would be like as a pediatrician, and current thinking on a variety of medical debates, including homeopathic medicine, medical opinion and knowledge in the courtroom, and prenatal care. This book is an educational and touching way to see life through the eyes of a thoughtful and academic pediatrician.
Where is the chapter on Immunology?.......2003-12-27
I wanted this book when I was pregnant with my 3rd child- a step by step guide through the child's body. The chapters included are Lungs, Heart, Blood, Bones, Brain, Skin, Gonads, Guts. Each chapter includes a nice discussion of how the organ or set of organs, are supposed to function and a few case studies on what can go wrong with them.
Darshak Sanghavi strikes me as a very intelligent, compassionate and caring pediatrician. He attended Harvard Medical School and trained at Boston's Children's Hospital. Generally only the most successful of students have those opportunities. Darshak attends summer camps for kids with cancers and makes his way to a Navajo reservation to practice pediatrics- presumably his education was paid in part because of an agreement to work in underserved areas. Over the course of the book, he talks about the extra time he spends with his young patients, making them comfortable and explaining their illnesses to their parents. Noble goals, all in all.
Unfortunately, the author misses a crucial chapter when he fails to include Immunology, and he apparently hasn't read the American Academy of Pediatrics Statement on the Use of Human Milk. This statement includes over 100 references, citing the need for human babies to receive their mother's milk for at least the first 6 months of life.
Why is this significant? In his chapter on Blood, a child undergoes a bone marrow transplant. It has been well documented that organ transplants are more successful if the recipient was breastfed as a child. It would have been useful to see mention of this fact. No one expects their child to have an organ transplant, but I think all mothers would do whatever they could to ensure that the child survives one. Sadly, this child didn't.
I'm not sure if Darshak really likes seeing mothers parent instinctively or naturally. The same chapter opens with the only account of a homebirth in the book and leads to the case of a child with hemorrhagic disease of the newborn or HDN. Homebirths are safer than hospital births and the outcomes for the baby are much better when the child is born at home. I don't find it coincidental that the author chose this family to illustrate a very rare condition that could happen in the hospital as well as at home. After all, any mother can decline the Vitamin K injection for her baby.
The chapter on Bones includes a lengthy review of a child abuse case and a discussion on medical findings in abuse. Artificially fed infants are at greater risk of being abused by their parents than are breastfed babies. Pediatricians need to let parents know that their job as parents will be more stressful when they bottle feed their baby rather than breastfeeding. In the case study in the book, it was a nanny who abused the child, not the parent, but it is an important piece of information that parents need to know.
In Guts, a small, but important piece of information is left out. The chapter includes an 8 year old girl who is diagnosed with Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitis (IDDM) and we read that "no preventable risk factors have been identified". Had Dr. Sanghavi read the literature published in the Lancet, among other journals, he would have learned that early introduction to cow's milk is a significant risk factor in developing IDDM. Most infant formulas are cow's milk based, therefore, most infants not breastfed have early cow's milk exposure. If parents are given that knowledge, that is an easily prevented risk factor. Why did this pediatrician fail to give it in this easily read form?
The infant who is dehydrated at the beginning of this same chapter is also a breastfed (all one word, no hyphen) baby. Rarely do breastfed babies suffer diarrhea, rarely do mothers have a hard time keeping up with their child's needs. Human milk is a very effective oral rehydration therapy, and in most cases, it is a fantastic, free option. The case study would have been more believable had the child been a formula fed child, as they are significantly more likely to suffer early rotovirus infections than a naturally fed baby.
Immunology is a very important part of anyone's organism. A chapter that includes the many ways in which the infant humans immune system is unfinished at birth and how species specific milk completes the immune system is sorely lacking. Parents need to know that the live antibodies and macrophages are present in the milk of the mother. Formula is a dead substance from an animal intent on building muscle mass- human milk grows fantastic brains and healthy immune systems. Why wasn't that chapter written for this otherwise well written book?
I think I read the main reason in the last two pages, after the physician's first child is born. He tells little about the birth, but it was obviously not a homebirth. Then he writes about his son's first night, when he and his wife "took turns feeding him". Clearly, he has failed to understand that there are risks to not breastfeeding and he and his wife are willingly taking risks with their child's health. That is a sad decision they have made for this baby because of the risks to him and because of the example they are setting for their patients and for readers of this book. Parents and children deserve better than that from this skilled author and physician.

Customer Reviews:
Save your money and buy a notebook at the local discount store!.......2005-11-02
I was so ticked off when I bought this book. The title " A JOURNAL from the author .. . . " This is NOT a journal FROM Gawani Pony Boy - it's a blank book!! Waste of money!
Better than any other Journal or Cheap diary/notebook.......2004-05-03
At tfirst I was surprised this was available, but WOW! this book by G. Pony Boy has really encouraged me to think deeper about my relationship with my horse, as well as given me a reason to spend some time with myself, which has really helped me to grow. The pictures and beautiful layout are a plus, and really guides you through a process of thought while adding your own writings - and I can add photos in here as well, a great keepsake, I am getting one for each of my horses :-)
An amazing journal that all horse-lovers should own!!!!.......2001-11-26
I read the online reviews, and I was a little skeptical. But I'm telling the truth, THIS BOOK IS REALLY HELPFUL. I can't stress that enough. It's not just some dumb notebook with pictures inside (which are amazing by the way) it asks you questions that make you think about what never had occured to you before. It's not only a way to make you get to know your horse better, but it is a way to remember your horse forever if you ever for any reason have to stop riding him/her. You answer the question, and then you build on that. There's also advice and knowledge about horses within the pages. There's even a few pages that says visions, and you write your visions with you and your horse. There are so many books about horses, but finnaly this is the book that tells you about YOUR horse. You just have to fill in the lines. I am throughly enjoying this book, and think everyone should.
A lovely journal for your favorite horse lover..........2001-06-10
My husband bought me this journal for my birthday and I am quite pleased by it. It is a smaller hardbound book with the lovely photos by Gabrielle Boiselle that GaWaNi Pony Boy has used in his other books. There are lots of lined pages sprinkled with questions from Pony to jog your thoughts and provide a springboard for your writing. There is plenty of room to write comments and then come back and revisit your thinking later. It's a lavish yet practical book which can be taken to the barn and then brought home again to fill with your observations. It makes a wonderful gift for any horse lover.
Not just cute, VERY practical!.......1999-10-19
This is a great journal to take to the barn, rugged hard cover, and great to sit indoors later and review! GaWaNi Pony Boy's books are so beautiful, and this one is no exception...his questions make YOU think...he doesn't just tell you about your horse...one he hasn't even met...but allows the owner to learn about their own animal. I highly recommend this to every rider who truly cares about their animal!
Book Description
Filipino Combat Systems chronicles the creation, evolution and core concepts of one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world. It overcomes the shortcomings inherent in martial art instruction manuals by focusing not on technique, but on the strategy and philosophy of movement behind the technique. Written by a first generation student under the authority and supervision of the system's Founder and Grand Master, this work is an excellent introduction to the system. FCS is one of the most practical combat oriented martial systems in existence, bridging the gap between the ancient fighting arts and the modern world.
Customer Reviews:
missed potential.......2007-01-19
When I ordred this book, I expected lot more after seeing the contents in the preview. First of all, I do not like Ray Dionaldo being signed as a co-author...I mean being interviewed in the book does not exactly make one an author, even if the book is on the system he has created.
Now, the principles and concepts featured are very well chosen nad valuable, but the presentation could have been much better. I mean, the "fortune cookie" type advice gets kinda irritating after a while, no matter the "wisdom" it caries.
Finally, with all due respect to author's background in karate, and its influence on is understanding and interpretation of FMA, there could have been less stuff directly referring to karate/bushido/zen...as in essence it has very little to do with FMA. After all, that is why Mr. Cody has authored another book on that subject.
Also, I have no ide whatsoever why have some reviewers described the book as "ultimate" knife fighting resource, as it is clearly not. For that, go to Rey Galang's "Masters of the Blade", or several other books, for that matter.
On the good side, the book does have a sort of familiar atmosphere to it, which is very nice, and I liked the dictionary section quite a bit, and it is technically very well done.
The bottom line is, it is not a bad book, but if your interest is FMA in particular, you should look elsewhere, as this one should not be on your priority list, though it makes an interesting read in certain points.
Finally Somethiing New in the Martial Arts.......2006-11-18
It was a late friday night when I picked this book up off the front porch. All I wanted was a hot shower and to go to bed. That didn't happen because I started browsing through this book. Before I knew it, it was much later and I was still going over the photos sequences. This is the freshest breath of air I have had in the martial arts in a long time! From the author's dedication to the closing pages it is the passionate writing of a man who understands what warriorship is all about. It is a terrfic blending of spirituality, mentality, and technique. The photo sequences are sufficient to explain the technique and show a great awareness of line, spacing, energy, and groundedness. I could not find any glaring errors in movement or openings anywhere in the techniques. Most of the books today written by so-called experts are filled with bad techniques, rehashed from one volume to the next. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It is absolutely tops on my list of over 50 books on the topic. I want to thank the author and his instructor for producing this book.
An Excellent Introduction to the Core Concepts of the Tribal Arts of the Filipino Combat Systems.......2006-09-04
Filipino Combat Systems (FCS) by Mark Edward Cody begins with a preface written by Guro Ray Dionaldo where he describes FCS as a "Tribal Art" as opposed to a martial art or martial science. He explains that "tribal arts" have the mindset that they are training family members, and lack the political hierarchy found in more traditional "martial arts".
The core text of Filipino Combat Systems offers a great deal of information for warriors, written by someone who obviously as a true warrior's mindset. The book begins with a description of the birth, history and origins of the Filipino Combat Systems.
Several core concepts of the Filipino Combat Systems and basic martial concepts are demonstrated. This includes flowing drills, quadrants, and combat distances, and much more. We are also introduced to weapons, including single and double sticks, the karambit, the kris, and the modern expandable baton.
We are also presented with a review of Musashi's strategies from the `Book of Five Rings'. We are also presented with the author's idea of the basics of self-defense, discussing awareness and preparedness, including:
> Be aware of all avenues of escape, cover and concealment
> Look for potential improvised weapons within your environment
> Attempt to stay informed about criminal activity and other dangers in your area.
> Be aware of defensive options and the pros and cons of each:
* Firearms
* Other weapons: Tear gas, knives, impact weapons, and stun guns
* Martial arts training... and more
> Take security measures to make yourself more difficult to victimize.
And perhaps most importantly:
>Be aware that your safety is YOUR responsibility. Do not depend on others to protect you.
Filipino Combat Systems is very well illustrated with numerous photographs and contains well-written, informative text offering insight for those who follow the way of the warrior.
Highly recommended!
This book sucks!.......2005-08-28
I made the mistake in buying this book. I thought it was about Filipino Martial Arts....it's about how a supposedly avid practitioner of the FMA keeps refering to Japanese and Indonesian arts trying to lump everything and anything under FMA. It's really sad because these so called 10th degree grandmasters let these guys crap all over Filipino Martial Arts and get away with it. It's not Japanese or Indonesian..it's Filipino....The author wrote a book with nothing but his own opinion...he probably never been to the Philippines.
Sorry but Sarongs and Kerambits are not Filipino...Guys need a reality check. Stop bastardizing the art! I'm sorry I bought this book and I'm sad that this is how some Filipinos are teaching the art just to make everybody happy and to fatten their wallets!
Great job!.......2005-04-17
A splendid piece of martial arts literature! Brilliant, witty and insightful... A must-have for beginners and adepts.

The annual Writer's Handbook competes neck-and-neck with the better-known Writer's Market. The 2002 Handbook lists 3,300 markets and resources; the 2002 Market "about 4,000." Though the Handbook blurbs are not as detailed as the Market's, they are a whole lot easier on the eyes. What differentiates the Handbook from the competition is about three times as many articles about the writing life. The book's 61 such pieces, most reprinted from The Writer magazine, are by the likes of Sue Grafton, John Ciardi, and Maeve Binchy. In a piece titled "Everything You Need to Know About Writing Successfully--in Ten Minutes," Stephen King recommends that you "be talented," "remove every extraneous word," and "never look at a reference book while doing a first draft." This is the first Writer's Handbook in many years not to have been edited by Sylvia Burack; the transition to a new editor, Elfrieda Abbe, appears seamless. --Jane Steinberg

The Final Word in Publishing........2006-03-03
A great resource for the starting writer and an even better way to know what publishers and literary agents are out there. This along with the novel and short story market book are sure to help you get published.
Yet Another Success........2005-08-24
These books are my annual present for loving to write. Each is filled to brimming with articles and publishers that real people need. Always a wonderful buy, always worth every cent.
A writer's best friend.......2003-10-06
This is a veeeery long book, but it's most definitely worth it for any writer, and I recommend purchasing it on an annual basis. Before I decided on a market guide for the writing craft, I compared this book to "Writer's Market", by the editors of Writer's Digest magazine; and I must say that I love their bookclub, but "The Writer's Handbook 2003" is the guide that I picked up for me. Nowadays, competitiveness is everywhere, and in a market so vast and varied as the one for the writing craft, one needs a guide that feels also like a close friend. Thank God I found it in this big book (my copy is full of colored flags sticking out of it, marking my choices for submission, conferences I'd like to attend, etc).
The first part includes selected articles that at some point or another have been previously published throughout the year in "The Writer" magazine. Everything from inspirational ideas, to legal advice on copyright and selling your material through the different magazines and agents, advice for poets, etc. There is also an article on how to better set up your website, something that is no longer an option but a "must" as a promotional tool; plus conversations with famous authors. The different listings include non-fiction and fiction magazines, with as much information as possible on requirements, website, editor's name, etc.; book publishers, agents, arts councils and syndicates, writer's colonies and conferences, prizes and awards, drama and theater, TV and film producers; even greeting card publishers.
I recommend purchasing this guide on an annual basis or, at least bi-annually; if the price comes to be a bit too stiff for you. All the same, it can become your best friend.
A Reference with Value Equal to that of its Competition.......2003-07-29
I first saw THE WRITER'S HANDBOOK sometime in the mid-1970s. I was already aware of (and owned) WRITER'S MARKET, but as always and still, I craved more market information. I found it in THE WRITER'S HANDBOOK.
What's the difference between the two? Oh, where to begin ... THE WRITER'S HANDBOOK has the nice feature of listing items in multiple categories when appropriate. THE WRITER'S HANDBOOK and WRITER'S MARKET each contain listings the other doesn't. Some listings are more informational in one than the other. And of course the articles are different in each.
And, if nothing else, when I cannot turn up a listing that turns me on, or info I need in one market book, there's always the other.
The bottom line: I recommend THE WRITER'S HANDBOOK equally and concurrently with WM. Buy or borrow both!
Best Writer's Resource.......2003-04-25
If you were to use only two of the best writer's resources I would say that "The Writer's Market" and this book along with it as your main tools of marketing and refining your work. Why this book? This book contains about 60 articles of advice by the most successful writers in the business. Even for a beginner this may be the only book they'll use.
It's packed with useful information. It's gives the writer techniques, inspiration and advice. Some of these techniques are discussed how to find more time to write, creating memorable characters and revising your writing. It evens tells you specific wways to market your work, designing your website and writing for niche markets. As an added plus there are over 3000 listings of markets and resources including 2000 magazines in 45 categories ranging from performing arts and religion to adult literary to juvenile. Each one with descriptions and contact information. There's 600 book publishers, plus organizations and a glossary. This is one source that will be referred to many times over. I know I have. This is one of the best writer's resource book you can get. I'm sure this is to be updated in 2003.
Book Description

A Wonderful Resource .......2006-01-31
Writer's Market Deluxe is an extremely valuable resource in my writing library. The path of the publishing world can be tough to navigate and this book is a wonderful guide. The listings are pretty detailed, offering editor names and addresses, submission guidelines, and pay rates. I really appreciate the online subscription that comes with the deluxe edition as it allows me to keep track of my submissions, responses from editors and publishers, rights sold etc.
I could not do without the plethora of information that Writer's Market offers. I know that as soon as I've completed (and revised aplenty) a manuscript, all I have to do is open this book and quickly find the most suitable place to submit my work.

Great Expose for Writers.......2006-01-08
I came across this book many years ago, ever since I have been yearning to have my own copy due to the enormous information packed in the book for writers.
One of it amazing features is that it gives minute details of publishers and what they expect from writers. Whichever aspect of writing you want to concentrate upon, this book will give you a lead.

a great resource for writers.......2005-10-23
The book came quickly as promised- not in the greatest shape, but I am happy to have it.
Useful Information.......2005-09-21
Provides the names and addresses every writer needs. Every time I decide I don't need the new one, I find that I do. I wish they'd leave the interviews and "inside publishing" crap-o-bilia out, however. Cut the size, cut the price.
2005 Writer's Guide.......2005-09-05
Invaluable resource for who can help you in the industry. It is by no means complete (sigh), nonetheless it is a necessity. I will be purchasing it every year without fail. If you are serious about making a career writing for magazines, you need this book.
