Book Description
Written for both in-house counsel and the outside lawyers who serve them, this book provides a framework for building sustainable strategic productibity into law departments by redefining both internal and external roles.
Customer Reviews:
Reprinted from the Chicago Bar Association Record, February/March 2004, Volume 18, Number 2.......2005-09-03
Wouldn't it be great if your law department were recognized as a valuable corporate asset...? If your legal personnel loved their jobs and felt they were bringing the best of themselves to work...? If your outside counsel firms were strategic partners, delivering incremental bottom line value to the company ...?"
Sounds good, doesn't it? Snider makes a compelling case that creating what she calls "a productive law department culture" will provide all these results. Snider defines a "productive culture" and explains how a corporate law department can benefit by one. More importantly, she provides a well-thought out model for achieving one.
Snider knows what she is talking about. Having been a partner at a leading national law firm and General Counsel of a Forbes 500 corporation (Heller Financial, now part of GE Capital), she has substantial experience as both a buyer and seller of corporate legal services. As GC of Heller in the 1990's, she led the development and implementation of a "productive culture," meaning this book is a lot more than nice-sounding theory.
She writes:
It is interesting and telling that a great deal of what clients view as highly value-added is traditionally considered non-bill-able by outside law firms.
Snider offers a well-written, thought provoking set of proposals to fundamentally improve relationships between corporate law departments and their outside counsel, increasing the profitability of both. She presents a five-step program to align in-house legal departments and outside counsel with company strategic values and goals. In the course of the analysis, Snider builds a complete model that covers analysis of appropriate tasks, human resources, strategic partners, and resources to achieve a defined mission.
Insights to Improve Relationship
A major contribution is Snider's insight. She has already accomplished what she is advising the reader to consider. Moreover, the reader is not left trying to figure out how to implement the more esoteric concepts such as "ultimate value." Snider explains how it can be done. If you have a question, chances are Snider anticipates and addresses it.
When she introduces the concept of "strategic partnering" between in-house lawyers and outside counsel, Snider pro-vides a step-by-step analysis that will go a long way toward soothing doubters. She differentiates her definition of strategic partnering from the one shot cost-cutting measures some firms and corporate law departments refer to by the same name.
Of interest is her focus on the win-win scenario for both corporate counsel and law firm supplier. Reading Snider's analysis produces a sense of excitement and expectation that real change may be in the air for law firm-client relationships.
"After developing a "deep and rich under-standing of the client's business," says Snider, "the outside law firm is well-positioned not only for significant repeat business, but also to provide other services the client needs and should be willing to pay for."
Snider's work is a worthwhile read for those in management positions, whether in-house, in law firms, government and not-for-profits. While some of the details will change and be more appropriate for one type of organizational structure than another, her over-all emphasis on starting with a mission and moving on to adopt vision and other key components of cultural change works in just about any setting.
A particularly valuable aspect is the case study designed to provide insight into how strategic partnering worked at Heller Financial.
If the book has a weakness, perhaps it is not giving enough weight to change aversion that characterizes so many law firms, including some of the most successful. Also, the author's concepts are not trade secrets. Why haven't more firms and corporate legal departments developed the in-depth partnerships that seem to have so much potential?
Chapter 8, "A Not So Modest Proposal for Change," is worth a read by itself.
In it, Snider advocates changing the business model for the legal services industry, so that the focus is placed on client ser-vices rather than technical expertise. Snider argues persuasively that such a change would stream-line corporate legal services, enrich the relationships between lawyer and client while increasing the profitability of both, and increase the satisfaction level of many currently burned-out, frustrated, unhappy attorneys, both in-house and in law firms.

Book Description
"Vernal Pools" is the most comprehensive and substantive book available on the natural history, ecology, and conservation of the myriad small, transient, biologically dynamic pools that appear in low-lying areas, especially in spring, and then typically disappear as the seasons progress. "Vernal Pools" emphasizes the pools of the formerly glaciated region of eastern North America, but the information contained in the book also will be of great value to those readers wanting to recognize, understand, protect, or manage seasonally wet pools wherever they occur. "Vernal Pools" is written in a style that is accessible, appealing, and informative to both general and advanced readers.
Increasingly, vernal pools and their habitats are being recognized as places of interest and importance to many students and stewards of freshwater resources and biological diversity, including: land owners, naturalists, teachers, researchers, conservationists, resource managers, planners, and policy makers.
Customer Reviews:
Very good book on vernal pools........2005-05-28
This is a very good book on vernal pools ecology. I have studied vernal pools in the university a few years ago and it's a shame that this book wasn't there at that time.
The author describes different aspects of vernal pools: their origin, hydrology, the inhabitants, vernal pools conservation and many more.
The book is well written in a language easy to understand for everybody. If you have not study at the university, don't worry because it is very easy to understand.
A five-stars.

A compendium of superbly organized information .......2005-01-08
A "vernal pool" is a small, transient, biologically dynamic pond that appears in low-lying areas (especially in spring) and then typically dries up as the seasons of the year progress. The focus of Vernal Pools: Natural History And Conservation by aquatic ecologist Elizabeth A. Colburn (formerly with the Massachusetts Audubon for 18 years and currently a staff member of Harvard Forest in Petersham, Massachusetts) is upon the formerly glaciated region of eastern North American, but the detailed information is applicable to vernal pools and ponds anywhere else they appear in North America. A compendium of superbly organized information about vernal pools and their habitats, and their role as freshwater resources and in the promotional support for biological diversity, Vernal Pools is a core addition to academic library Environmental Studies reference collections, and especially commended to the attention of land owners, conservationists, land-use policy makers, and environmental protection activists.
Book Description
Carnivorous pitcher plants, pygmy conifers, and the Tiburon jewel flower, restricted to a small patch of serpentine soil on Tiburon Peninsula in Marin County, are just a few of California's many amazing endemic plants--species that are unique to particular locales. California boasts an abundance of endemic plants precisely because it also boasts the richest geologic diversity of any place in North America, perhaps in the world. In lively prose, Arthur Kruckeberg gives a geologic travelogue of California's unusual soils and land forms and their associated plants--including serpentines, carbonate rocks, salt marshes, salt flats, and vernal pools--demonstrating along the way how geology shapes plant life. Adding a fascinating chapter to the story of California's remarkable biodiversity, this accessible book also draws our attention to the pressing need for conservation of the state's many rare and fascinating plants and habitats.
148 outstanding, accurate photographs, more than 100 incolor, illustrate California's diverse flora
Covers a wide range of locations including the Channel Islands, the Central Valley, wetlands, bristlecone pine forests, and bogs and fens
Provides selected trip itineraries for viewing the state's geobotanical wonders
Includes information on human influences on the California landscape from the early Spanish explores through the gold rush and to the present

Superb.......2007-03-24
This is the best intro to the soil-plant interface that I've read. It's very well written, documented, researched, and also just fun to read. The author's enthusiasm for his subject area is contagious. Focussing on unique substrates such as vernal pools, serpentine formations, dunes, deserts, and so on, the author shows how geology even more than climate determines which plants grow where in California, especially in the case of serpentine derived soils, which are very poor in nutrients and high in magnesium. Overall a wonderful book on the subject and one that should be in every botanist's library. Be aware that some previous geology and understanding of rock types and minerology is a big help in understanding the text, but you don't have to be a "hard rocker" to benefit from it.

Book Description
The Third Edition of An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology retains all of the features of the bestselling prior editions, and provides an updated, integrated presentation of the study of hormone-behavior interactions. Continuing to emphasize a comparative approach, the text explores the endocrine mechanisms that have evolved in both human and nonhuman animals to solve common problems in survival and reproduction.
The text describes hormone-behavior interactions from a historical perspective, emphasizing connections among key theories and tracing the emergence of important hypotheses. The book is organized around the conceptual theme that hormones may affect behavior by influencing one or more of three "components" of behaving animals: input mechanisms, such as sensory or perceptual processes; the central processing mechanisms of the nervous system (either directly, or by affecting its development or structure); and output mechanisms, such as effectors or peripheral structures. Despite increased coverage of molecular and cellular approaches, the book retains its accessibility for non-biological science students.
The introductory chapter describes the history of behavioral endocrinology, as well as common methods, techniques, and levels of analysis used in this rapidly expanding field. The anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the endocrine system is described in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss sex determination, sex differentiation, and what is known about sex differences in behavior from both animal models and studies of humans. The relationships between hormones and male and female reproductive behaviors are presented in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively; effects of hormones on parental behaviors are described in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes the effects of hormones on social behaviors, such as affiliation and aggression. Endocrine mediation of homeostatic processes, such as feeding and drinking behaviors, is presented in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 discusses hormones and biological rhythms. The effect of stressors on hormone-behavior interactions is presented in Chapter 11. The role of hormones on learning and memory is described in Chapter 12. The final chapter explores the effects of hormones on mood and other psychosocial processes in humans.
An Introduction to Behavioral Endocrinology is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, biology, anthropology, or zoology. It contains several important pedagogical features. The text is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings. Key terms are identified and defined in the text, and summaries at the end of each chapter restate important points. Discussion questions and suggested further readings are also included in each chapter. The text contains over 2,000 references to the literature in behavioral endocrinology. Accompanying this edition is a new CD that contains animations, video, sound files, and graphics to aid in understanding the material in the text.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Suvey of Behavioral Endocrinology!.......2007-07-31
I have been using this book for interest purposes. As an advanced undergraduate interested in behavioral neuroscience, I find this to be an excellent survey of this developing field.
The book is very readable with concise chapters. Its very broad in scope and includes many recent, key experiments which are fundamental to the field. It is interdisciplinary in approach with references to fields such as: social, evolutionary and physiological psychology.
It appears as though the author(s) have done well to bring this excellent text up to date with each edition. There are many fine, recent references. I am currently reviewing the third edition and have had an opportunity to glance at the previous editions in the library.
Overall, I recommend it highly to those interested in social, development and physiological psychology. If you are interested in neuroscience and biochemistry/endocrinology this is a very interesting approach to a fascinating discipline!
Good text, bad editing.......2007-07-08
This book does a good job as an introductory text that gives the student enough information and context to begin to explore the research literature. The author makes extensive use of in text citations, as is common in social science texts, and does not assume an extensive biology background, so the book is useful to students approaching animal behavior from either a social science or biological science perspective. In selected examples the author explains the details of the research that led to the conclusions presented in the book. An especially nice feature is the end of chapter 'Questions for Discussion' which encourage critical thought about the material rather than rote memorization.
My cheif complaint about the book is the poor editing. As an example, in chapter 2, the reader is referred to a table in appendix II - which does not exist. There are also several in text citations which do not have corresponding references in the back of the book and several duplicate references (which probably displaced the missing references). I think only a textbook geek like myself would even notice these oversights, much less mind them, but they keep me from giving five stars.
A Text Book, Really!.......2005-11-19
This is a true text book. It takes a very diffuicult subject matter and tries to help the reader learn about a topic that can be overwhelming. The book is well written, with good, real-world examples, but it still has very detailed information. Read it if you want to learn more about the endocrine system, and its hormones.
Very Confusing Book.......2004-12-14
I would not recomend this book. It was a required text for one of my classes, and it was terrible. I ended up reading only the first six chapters (instead of all 13) due to the way it was written. It is very easy to get confused due to the fact that the author continue to ramble on using complicated terminology. For readers with a lot of backround in endocrinology, biology and the structures of the brain, the book may be of some use - even though I have all of those backgrounds, I still found the book a terrible read due to all the rambling and repetition - very confusing book - you have to reread many of the paragraphs to figure out what he's talking about. For anyone just looking into the subject, don't bother with this book (try Life - The Science of Biology by Purves, Sadava, etc. for general biology or Animal Physiology by Randall, Burggren and French for a more advanced physiology text - both great books).
What a book!.......2000-04-07
This textbook is a delight. Well written, accessible, wonderfully wideranging and thoughtful. It's even funny.

Dynamite Book for Coaching Midgets.......2003-11-07
Coaching Hockey Successfully has a loads of valuable information from hockey philosophy (teach your players to create space and time and teach them the concept of support) to good drills to teach your players hockey sense. This book would get five stars but sometimes Gendron loses you e.g. a description of a drill to which he does not have a diagram and one you do not understand. I thought it was my problem until I talked it over with a friend. This book is so valuable. If you are coaching Bantam and above, it's a top notch resource. Thanks, Red!

Great Book for all High School Students.......2005-09-11
This is a great, informative book that is definately a must for hish school students. Im a senior now and I was so confused about the college admission process and what I need to do to make my application stand out. This is an EXCELLENT book. It's so well written and not voring at all. It has so many facts that you would've never knew about. I am so much more informed about applying to colleges now and I feel like I can get accepted anywhere. To al high schoolers who are starting on their applications and are confuse- GET THIS BOOK!
very useful.......2005-03-11
A very helpful and exhaustive book. Allen has a lot that you need to hear, and you probably have not heard it before.
The book, unlike most college guide books, is not carefully divided based on colleges or regions. Instead, it has more of a narrative structure, although the chapters are divided by aspects of the admissions process.
However, it's very absorbing and witty writing. So interesting that I read it from cover to cover, even though I'm even not in the market for going to college! It was a real eye-opener.
I do have some complaints, though. Don't get the wrong idea from them, however. Allen's work is, overall, is a brisk, useful, and amusing read. And the gripes are:
1. The book is written almost exclusively for traditional college applicants (i.e., 17 years old, currently in high school, etc.) Non-traditional or transfer applicants will therefore find the book's strategies largely (but not entirely) useless.
2. The thing was evidently hastily written: there are countless typos, misspellings, printer's errors, etc. Likely this won't bother you too much given your probable reasons for picking it up in the first place, but it does make me wonder about the reliability of the numbers Allen is reporting. Here, for example, is a disturbing contradiction: [p. 186]
". . . Yale filled 43% of available seats for the Class of 2007 with Early Decision applicants, and those applicants were admitted at a 22% rate . . ."
and then, later, in the same paragraph (!):
"A small number of top colleges . . . most notably Yale, do not fill a significant portion of the freshman class with early decision candidates."
3. The author has what appears to be a very low opinion of UC Berkeley, in contrast to the majority of students, teachers, and college counselors I have worked with. Though this is never stated explicitly, his dissenting view is unmistakable:
"Of the roughly thirty top colleges in America, only six -- the Air Force Academy, Cal Tech, Stanford, Rice, U. Chicago and Northwestern -- aren't on the east coast. [p. 241]"
4. The thing is seriously disorganized. The author, aware of this, warns you about this upfront, but still, it's disorganized all the same. As just one example, suppose you only need help with your essay. So you read his essay section. Unknown to you, there is a lot of potentially useful information on college essays in the "strategies" section which you wouldn't have discovered if you had merely dipped into the "essay" section.
The only solution is to read the entire thing through from cover to cover. I don't think you'll regret this, though.
This book helped our family separate fact from fiction!.......2005-02-11
I read four other books in addition to this book to prepare as a parent for our son's college process. I found this book to be the most realistic. The author does not present the topic of college admissions in a pollyanna manner the way others books did. He tells it like it is or pretty much the way we discovered the process to be. I highly recommend that parents read this book and cite the gist of the book to your prospectice college student over time- Too much reality can demotivate/demoralize your child. Other books that were recommended by counselors,school, etc., placed the colleges on a pedestal as if they are altrusitic without a profit motive in mind. We found the opposite as we went through the college process. Andrew Allen's book prepared us in a way that produced a positive college search process for our family.
SIMPLY THE BEST.......2003-12-21
Simply put, there is no book that offers as much information, advice and opinions as Trade Secrets. Most admissions books offer 1/10th what this book offers -- you would be INSANE to apply to college without first reading this book. I suspect that the majority of the bad reviews are from high school counselors or admissions offices--Allen takes both to task. Beware: if you can't take strong advice (that's wickedly helpful), then don't buy this book. If you want some great insider help, then get a copy.
Cynical, poorly-written and inaccurate.......2003-11-03
Interestingly, Andrew Allen never tells you where he himself went to college. Given how poorly written and repetitive this book is, and how unappreciative of the true value of a great education, it's just as well for the reputation of his alma mater. Allen fits Oscar Wilde's definition of the cynic -- he knows the price of everything, the value of nothing. He makes ridiculous claims about schools' reputations such as that Dartmouth has a reputation for being antagonistic towards men whereas schools such as Davidson and Washington & Lee are known to be "very male-friendly" -- a term he leaves completely undefined. Allen also says that "if you can get into Stanford, then you can get into Yale, Chicago, or Georgetown, all of which offer a better education." Says who?
This book is all about a not-very-talented man who has fallen in love with the position of power he has assumed as a self-anointed guru of college admissions. If you are a bright, hardworking person who wants to go to a great college to be in the company of other bright, hardworking people, you will want to avoid the company of Andrew Allen before you get there. There are a slew of better college admissions book to turn to, including "How to Get Into the Top Colleges" by Richard Montauk.
Book Description
This is the classic introduction to Chinese calligraphy. In nine richly illustrated chapters Chiang Yee explores the aesthetics and the technique of this art in which rhythm, line, and structure are perfectly embodied. He measures the slow change from pictograph to stroke to the style and shape of written characters by the great calligraphers.
Speech and writing are two organs of the same human impulse--the conveyance of thought: the one operating through hearing, the other through sight; the one by sound from mouth to ear, the other by form or image from hand to eye. But each can do something besides convey thought. Spoken words can be so arranged as to discharge aesthetic "musical" significances, as in much Western poetry. Written words can be formed to liberate visual beauties; and it is these which form the subject of this book. In addition to aesthetic considerations, the text deals with such more practical subjects as the origin and construction of the Chinese characters, styles, technique, strokes, composition, training, and the relations between calligraphy and other forms of Chinese art.
For the third edition the author has added two new chapters: "Calligraphy and Painting" discusses the dependence of Chinese painting on calligraphic training and techniques; "Aesthetic Principles" explores the fundamental concepts underlying every Chinese art form.
Chinese Calligraphy is a superb appreciation of beauty in the movement of strokes and in the patterns of structure--and an inspiration to amateurs as well as professionals interested in the decorative arts.
Customer Reviews:
Best All-Round Book forUnderstanding the Chinese Aesthetic.......2003-01-06
The book deals with the traditional art of Calligraphy from both a philosophical and an aesthetic point of view and uses numerous examples for the serious student of Chinese Calligraphy. It is written in a lively and informed manner that will stimulate the reader's imagination and appreciation of the art of Calligraphy and its masters throughout history. It is the #1 book in the field.
A good start.......2002-03-04
I feel that Mr. Chiang Yee's book provides an excellent introduction to the art of Chinese Calligraphy as well as to the idiosyncrasies of Chinese aesthetics. However, it is an old book, and it constantly dates itself. There is more than a touch of "orientalism" in this book, and Mr. Yee presents China the way it would be seem to a Westerner a half century ago, as a mysterious place, a dark "other" with incomprehensible mystic traditions that stand in sharp contrast to the bright and carefully delineated West. For example, he makes the assertion several times through the book that a person's appearance and personality can be gauged by their calligraphy style. Analyzing Emperor Hui Tsung's calligraphy Yee reveals to us that the emperor was "a well-built handsome figure." Of course, as this particular emperor died nearly 1800 years ago, there is absolutely no way to empirically refute or support his claims. Of course, we can't forget that modern China is not a land of dragons and mystics. It is a nuclear power, and a burgeoning economic superpower. However, with that one caveat in mind, I would still heartily recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Chinese calligraphy or aesthetic traditions.
