      Book Description

      This is the first book to cover all of the pertinent information that any worker, in any position, in any type of health care organization needs to know to present a professional image and to be successful in his/her job. Written in a personal, conversational, easy-to-read-and-understand style, it focuses on the "soft skills" (rather than on the hands-on technical skills) that are needed to perform in a professional, ethical, legal, and competent manner, regardless of one's job function/position--e.g., communicating appropriately, working well on teams, respecting and valuing differences, and interacting effectively with co-workers, patients, visitors, and guests. Making a Commitment to Your Job (work ethic, accountability, compliance, quality of work); Personal Traits of the Health Care Professional (character, reputation, respect, trust, ethics, and morals); Working with Others (interpersonal relationships, personality preferences, teamwork, diversity, manners, communication skills, conflict resolution, and customer service); Personal Skills (appearance and grooming, personal habits, language and grammar, problem solving, managing time, stress, personal finances, and change); Growth and Advancement (career planning, goal setting, effective resumes, and interviewing skills). For anyone preparing for a career in health care (whether as an allied health professional, nurse, or clerical or support staff), as well as for new and current health care workers in any setting who could benefit from additional professionalism training.

        Book Description

        Because an increasing number of patients are covered through managed care plans, psychiatrists need to understand the managed care system in order to answer their patients' questions and ensure the continued prosperity of their practices. To assist clinicians in these challenging times, The Psychiatrist's Managed Care Primer arms psychiatrists with the information and tools they need to flourish within the managed care environment while simultaneously delivering quality patient care. This monograph provides an overview of the evolution of this industry; detailed explanations of current managed care models, operations, and anticipated trends; and practical advice on key problem areas. It focuses on the pressing issues of utilization management and capitation as well as important regulatory, ethical, and legal issues psychiatrists confront under this system. The potential impact that managed care systems have on their patient referrals, clinical decision-making autonomy, and income is also examined closely.

        Equipped with the sophisticated understanding of managed care supplied by this primer, psychiatrists can make the important decisions that will ensure the survival of their practice.

                                        From the publisher: "Born January 22, 1902, in Arizona Territory, John Woolf O'Connor ultimately became America's most popular outdoor writer. From his first magazine article in 1934, which he sold to Sports Afield for a whopping $12.50, and continuing until just a few weeks before his death in 1978, Jack O'Connor would write nine books on hunting and sporting firearms and more than 1,200 articles for Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Redbook, True and Esquire. His longest and most treasured magazine association, however, was with Outdoor Life. The Lost Classics of Jack O'Connor features 40 of his best Outdoor Life articles, none of which have ever appeared in any other book. They range from O'Connor's hunts for Coues deer in his beloved desert Southwest to his pursuit of Dall sheep and grizzlies in the Yukon and lions and leopards in Africa."

                                        5 out of 5 stars A superb record of O'Connor's achievements as a hunter.......2002-06-05

                                        Jack O'Connor: The Legendary Life Of America's Greatest Gunwriter is the definitive biography of one of twentieth century North America's premier sportsmen, big-game hunters, and gun experts. Biographer Robert Anderson drew upon information provided from interviews with O'Connor's family and friends, as well as O'Connor's own papers, photos, and correspondences. The O'Connor papers from Washington State University were to prove invaluable in presenting a complete portrait of a man who had a great zest for love, despite a concurrent ability to be egotistically and occasionally mean spirited. A superb record of O'Connor's achievements as a hunter, the reader will learn about the early years of hardship in Arizona, the personal family tragedy of losing a son, the post-World War II "glory years" when O'Connor hunted tiger in India, sheep in Iran, buffalo in Tanganyika, and encounters with the ruling class of foreign land, and the corporate moguls of hunting and firearms industries. All of which gave O'Connor a special prestige to the point where his writings could spell success or failure for products and armaments marketed for the sportsman hunter. If you've ever read one of his columns or experienced the thrill of a big game hunt, you will want to read Jack O'Connor!

                                        4 out of 5 stars Good book on a great writer.......2002-02-11

                                        I would have given this five stars except for its "thrown together" feel. It started as a full-scale biography but the source materials simply were not available. The book that was written consists of some short character sketches and a recapitulation of JO'C's hunting trips and writing career.

                                        The author is a hunter so he does justice to his subject.

                                        In my view, this book has two serious omissions. First, the author repeatedly asserts that O'Connor was the dean of gunwriters in his time. This is true (IMHO) but the book does a poor job showing why this is true and what made JO'C's writing special.

                                        Second, this work does not discuss the feud between Elmer Keith and O'Connor. Ostensibly the point of contention was the effectiveness of small, fast bullets like the 270 Win. But the Keith side (since Elmer's acolytes got in on the fun) made it personal. JO'C, in contrast, showed a sense of humor and charity that reflects favorably on his character.

                                                        What does it mean to be a patriot?

                                                        This U.S companion to the runaway British blockbuster, The Pocket Book of Patriotism, will tap into our national pride. Written by distinguished journalist and historian Jonathan Foreman along with George Courtauld, the author of the original, this small but richly informative timeline highlights key moments in U.S history, and simultaneous happenings abroad. More than just a list of important dates, it provides memorable quotes and speeches from major figures, excerpts from patriotic songs, and specific U.S. facts and trivia. From the Revolutionary War to Ground Zero, from "Give me liberty or give me death" to "I have a dream," The Pocket Book of Patriotism is instructional and inspirational for every citizen.

                                                        Parents, are you concerned that your children are not being taught the valuable lessons of patriotism and the rich history of America? Of course you are or else you wouldn't be considering this book. THE POCKETBOOK OF PATRIOTISM by Jonathan Foreman is not a bad place to start. I say it's not bad, because it certainly could have been better.

                                                        I love the premise of this book. It presents a small amount of information regarding American heritage in the form of speeches, song and verse that is sure to inspire the reader. There is also a wonderful section devoted to our Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. Contained also is a timeline of American history, as well as an introduction to each of our presidents. All good stuff, to be sure, but why stop there? The dust jacket promises a retelling of the history of America and there is simply too much vital information omitted here to uphold that claim.

                                                        Don't get me wrong, this is a great little book. But when I see a book with a title like this one has, I expect more. When it comes to American patriotism, how can you limit your work to less than 100 pages? How can you include the Red Sox winning the World Series but not include Washington's farewell address to his troops, or James Otis sending us down the road of independence when he challenged the British Writs of Assistance? Critical events such as these simply must be included!

                                                        Nevertheless, there is much to learn here, especially for anyone confined to the limited offerings of public education. Dear Mr. Foreman, please add a couple of hundred pages to this and send me a copy! I love the premise and would love to see this work further developed.

                                                        1 out of 5 stars Patriotism Light.......2006-01-08

                                                        I really wanted to like this book; I truly did. At a time when too many Americans define patriotism to include encouraging our enemies to defeat our troops in battle so they can take political advantage of the situation, real patriotism needs all the reinforcement it can get. Though Jonathan Foreman's motives seem sincere, his book is a disaster, not worth the money or the time.

                                                        To begin with, at 9 inches by 6 inches, this "Pocket Book" isn't, and at 96 pages, it isn't much of a book. Worse, more than half of these few pages are taken up by a "Timeline of American & World History". Such an item would have its place in a general history book, but all it does here is to reduce the space available for "Patriotic Texts & Essentials". In fact the table of contents actually states "All texts excerpts except where noted". Well, DUH, with only 22 pages available, they'd have to be! (I've seen giveaway pamphlets on patriotism with more contents).

                                                        So here is what you get under said Patriotic Texts & Essentials. Under "Speeches, Charters, & Significant Documents" you get two clauses from the Magna Carta, part of the Mayflower Compact, the passage about "A City on a Hill", the paragraph beginning "These are the times that try men's souls.", part of the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the passage including "To Bigotry No Sanction", the entire Gettysburg Address, two paragraphs from Lincoln's second inaugural, Wilson's "Safe for Democracy" paragraph, FDR's "Four Freedoms" fragment, the "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women" paragraph, Ike's entire D-Day address, and parts of Kennedy's inaugural, King's "I have a dream" speech, Reagan's Pointe du Hoc speech, and one paragraph from Bush's "Forward Policy of Freedom" speech... all crammed into 13 pages.

                                                        As for the rest, we get parts of 10 songs in 7 pages, parts of 3 poems in 2 pages, a 1 page list of presidents, a 1 page list of the order of the states joining, 2 pages of quotes on patriotism (11 total quotes), 2 pages about medals for valor, 2 pages on flag tradition & etiquette, and 1 page with the Naturalization Oath and the Pledge of Allegiance, the latter printed with brackets around the phrase "under God" so as to offend everyone. Six flags depicted on the endpapers complete the debacle.

                                                        One of the reasons I'm so angry is because of what might have been. In a few hundred pages of small print in a mass-market-paperback-sized, cheaply bound hardback, one could have produced a truly useful, comprehensive collection of complete (or at least more complete) speeches, charters, significant documents, songs, and poems, plus pages and pages of quotes, with plenty of room for that timeline, in a package that truly WOULD fit in the pocket, for about the same price. Instead we get what should have been a giveaway pamphlet. I was thinking I might buy Sterling's similar The Pocket Book of British Patriotism: The History of Great Britain and the World, but at only 64 pages for a country with a LOT more history, I'm assuming it is even worse.

                                                        This book is a breath of fresh air in a time when it seems everyone is publishing a book on patriotism that is actually just a thinly disguised xenophobic and often inaccurate portrayal of history cleaned of all errors and restated in a way so as to present their views of how American history should have been. Author Jonathan Foreman instead presents a timeline of American and world history without commentary except for the occasional insertion of quotes from people of that time period. In Part two there are several pieces excerpted from the writings of various historical figures and related to patriotism, thoughts of the founding fathers, songs, flag etiquette, etc. This is the basics of American civics that are no longer taught in many schools. A true introduction to patriotism in its finest form instead of the blind nationalism often seen today, The Pocket Book of Patriotism is highly recommended.

                                                        4 out of 5 stars Missing Some Things, but Not Bad.......2005-10-29

                                                        According to the book jacket, this book "retells the thrilling story of America from an unabashedly traditional, proudly patriotic point of view." The book contains speeches, songs, poems, and more that were written in honor of the country. The book bills itself as being "free of political correctness of any stripe," and it does deliver on that promise. As far as retelling the history of America, it falls a bit short. This is a short book, and it cannot contain all the speeches and documents from American history. I just was disappointed in some that were left out.

                                                        Washington's farewell address to his men? Not in there. Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech? Nope. Jefferson's "Wall of Separation" letter to the Virginia Baptists? Absent.

                                                        The Declaration of Independence is included, though it is only excerpted. It's really not that long a document-I'd have liked to have seen the whole thing. Surely there was room. The entire Star Spangled Banner is not included, either-just the first verse. Nobody remembers the rest of the poem anymore.


                                                        But the hazard of doing a short book like this is that things will be left out, and everyone will be upset about some document or song that is not included. I did really appreciate the timeline of American history, with events in US history listed alongside what was going on in the rest of the world. I think that is a valuable resource, and one that many Americans would do well to pay attention to. The flag code and etiquette is also something that many forget about, so its inclusion is appreciated-I just wish that the history of the flag had been included in the book, rather than just having selected flags appear on the frontispiece.

                                                        On the whole, this is a good book. I think that anyone who is studying American history will appreciate the things that are included in the book, and those who are looking for a basic book on American patriotism will not be disappointed.

The American timeline is presented in a side-by-side parallel to the "Abroad" timeline. In addition to all of this valuable information, there is also the history of our flag, important speeches and documents, patriotic songs and poems, lists of American presidents and states- in the order of their joining the Union.

                                                          Book Description

                                                          This self-published sensation sold over 120,000 copies in one month in Great Britain. George Courtauld wrote it when he discovered one evening that his three young boys had history questions even he couldn't answer. So, he set out to create a simple book that would outline the basic facts and make his children proud of their heritage. What he produced is a uniquely British, thoroughly fascinating timeline of events, with no judgment or padding, brought to life by soul-stirring quotations. Major moments in British history are placed alongside coinciding world events in an easy-to-read format. From the building of Stonehenge to England's rugby World Cup victory in 2003, from the rule of Henry VIII to the death of Princess Diana, The Pocket Book of British Patriotism covers all of Britain's essential dates, quotes, and speeches--and has proven itself a must-read for every historian, trivia buff, and Anglophile alike.
