Book Description
Published in cooperation with the Association for Consumer Research "This book is of great value to researchers in the area of marketing and for those conducting marketing studies for decision making. This compilation is helpful in locating instruments for survey research in marketing and consumer behaviour. It also provides researchers with different options to consider for any construct having several measures. The book can be expected to spur further research in this area. It will help identify areas where measures are needed and encourage further development of valid measures of consumer behaviour and marketing constructs." --Management and Labour Studies "This sorely needed book is a fantastic aid to scholarship. It provides admirable, painstaking scholarship, which painstaking scholars will admire. . . . This book could lead to exciting new vistas." --The Journal of Consumer Affairs "This book is a most welcomed addition to the researcher's library because it provides quick and easy access to many of the measures that have been developed by consumer and marketing researchers over the years. . . . The book starts with a useful essay discussing psychometric criteria for good scales that is a valuable introduction for novices and a helpful review for more experienced scale developers. A table summarizing criteria for evaluating scales drawn from Robinson, Shaver, and Wrightsman (1991) provides an excellent guide for evaluation and new scale development. . . . This book should be on the shelf of every marketing researcher. This volume would also be a good supplement for graduate classes in scale development or research methods. . . . Very well-referenced guide to the literature and thus provides support for developing better scales in marketing. . . . The book is a valuable guide. . . . This book should stimulate wide use of scales, the refinement and improvement of existing scales, and the development of new, psychometrically worthwhile scales. The editors should be congratulated by all market researchers for their efforts." --Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science "Marketing scholars and marketing research practitioners will find the book useful. It offers an excellent sourcebook for a variety of scales, and the reviews of the scales are thoughtful and well crafted. The book includes many of the most widely used scales in the field. Its relatively modest price will also make it particularly attractive." --Journal of Marketing Research "The authors have provided a much-needed book that is well executed and crafted with great care." --Terence A. Shimp, Department of Marketing, University of South Carolina "A book like this is long overdue in marketing. The volume does a great job of putting together in one place some of the most important scales with which marketers work." --Gilbert A. Churchill, Arthur C. Nielsen Chair of Marketing Research, University of Wisconsin "The Handbook of Marketing Scales has been sorely needed in the field of consumer behavior. An outstanding volume that is highly useful and very thorough. Bill Bearden is one of the best! The authors are all outstanding scholars and they demonstrate these abilities in this book." --Lynn Kahle, Professor and Chair, Department of Marketing, University of Oregon After an introductory chapter, which provides an overview of the development of multi-item scales, the Handbook of Marketing Scales includes the foremost scales on such prominent topics as individual behavior, values, information processing, reactions to advertising stimuli, attitudes and ethics, and sales and sales management practices. Throughout, the authors present 124 scales in all. To be included in the handbook, a measure had to meet these criteria: It had a reasonable theoretical or conceptual base; it was composed of at least three items or questions; it was developed or at least applied to the accepted marketing or consumer behavior literature; scaling procedures were employed in scale development; and estimates of reliability and/or validity existed. Each of the 124 scales is presented in a consistent format, including the construct, description, development, samples, validity, scores, source, other evidence, other sources, references, and scale items. Then, of course, the actual measurement item is included. Clear, concise, and easy-to-use the Handbook of Marketing Scales is a must-have for all marketing professors, researchers, and doctoral students.Customer Reviews:

You know the old joke about getting to Carnegie Hall: talent helps, but practice is essential. Most golfers love to put in their hours on the course but have never learned to properly prepare off the course with the kind of focus, planning, discipline, and dedication that translates into lower scores. David Leadbetter, one of the game's reigning gurus, begins Positive Practice with a refresher on fundamentals, then offers detailed, clearly written, and well-illustrated advice on what he considers the three essential parts of a golfer's preparation: pre-match warm-up, technical workout, and mental focusing. He offers plenty of imaginative drills and imagery to turn the grind of the game into something as stimulating and rewarding as a birdie on a difficult and demanding hole.Book Description
"The thing that makes David such a great coach is his incredible knowledge of the golf swing and the way he communicates it to you. It always makes sense and I trust what he says, totally."
-- Ernie Els

This is where this book comes in. It goes over basics of swing and then shows how one can track and practice those aspects of the game that are losing you shots.
Diagnostics are similar to John Jacobs' "Golf Doctor" who influenced Leadbetter much.
Here though in the book are really good drills and practice tips that will help the beginner through intermediate. The more advanced player is usually a good practicer already or doesn't need it.
Excellent book for a beginner.......1998-07-30

Malicious Resplendence: The Paintings of Robt. Williams
Robert Williams Manufacturer: Fantagraphics Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1560973668 |
Book Description
The definitive collection of paintings by outsider icon Robert Williams.Simply put, this is the coffee-table collection of the paintings of Robert Williams, one of the most lauded and controversial American painters of the 20th Century. Williams sprang from the hot rod culture of Southern California and the roots of underground comix, ultimately transcending both by cultivating a mastery of oil paints and forging a career as the preeminent artist among a generation of painters gathering inspiration from the shadowed corners of contemporary culture. Williams singlehandedly became the model of the "Outsider" art movement, influencing a generation of artists to create without concern for the fine art world, which Williams held in contempt (a feeling reciprocated in kind for years until recently, with Williams's past two shows at Tony Shafrazi's New York gallery selling out before opening night.
Originally released in 1997 and now back in print, Malicious Resplendence features over 200 full-color paintings spanning Williams' life and career, reproduced with breathtaking clarity (no small feat with Williams' hyper-kinetic visions). Along with a comprehensive and carefully compiled retrospective of Williams' body of work, the book also features extensive biographical information by critic C.R. Stecyk, an introduction by noted curator Walter Hopps, and dozens of rare and never-before-seen photos of the artist and related ephemera.

Transatlantic Perspectives on Euro
C. Randall Henning , and Pier Carlo Padoan Manufacturer: Brookings Institution Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0815735596 |
Book Description
The European economic and monetary union has changed the structure of international monetary relations fundamentally. In this book two experts--one European, the other American--offer transatlantic perspectives on the ramifications of the monetary union and the launch of the euro.C. Randall Henning examines selected American views on Europe's monetary union, and looks at the political, economic, and institutional interests of the United States as they are affected by the creation of the euro. He examines the external monetary policymaking machinery of the union and discusses the relationship of the monetary union to international institutions, particularly the meetings of the G-7 finance ministers and central bank governors and the International Monetary Fund. Henning is generally sympathetic to European integration, supportive of the monetary union, and persuaded of the importance of international cooperation.
Pier Carlo Padoan presents a European view of the role of the euro in the international system. He looks at the euro as a potential global currency and examines the transition phase between a regional currency and a global currency. Central to this is an analysis of the appropriate exchange rate policy for the euro. He also considers euro-dollar relations and the prospects for transatlantic cooperation.

International Business: A Manager's Guide to Strategy in the Age of Globalism
Carl A. Nelson Manufacturer: International Thomson Business Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1861523157 |
Book Description
This book is designed to explain to managers the international business system. The book covers all aspects of modern international business including the USSR's entry into the free world market, the expansion of economic integration such as EC-92 and NAFTA. This title will show how nation/state boundaries are overlaid by a global business system. Material found in more traditional international business textbooks will be presented. However in this book the subject matter will be treated in terms of how businesses can and do interact with governments which use laws to manipulate business for their nation's economic advantage. The processes that can be used to improve and facilitate cross-border business are explained and the reader will be shown how governments and businesses can reach a situation that benefits both parties.Customer Reviews:
