Book Description
There is no magic in the simple strategies and approaches that hi-paid Management, Leadership and Systems consultants use to improve business performance. They simply have something that you don't - an Operational Management Strategy! This book will teach you the "secrets" to creating positive change in your organization.
This simple guide is loaded with examples, templates, and "real world" applications that will teach you:
- The keys to reducing operating costs and increasing profit margins - even in a bad economy.

Thorough, honest, and well executed..........2003-09-08
If you are at the top and are having troubles, this book is for you. If you are on your way to the top, keep this by your bedside. Or, if you find yourself one of the lost... avoid the New Jersey Devil Consultant and purchase a copy for each of your staff.
Bob has a great talent for simplifying the complex, a hard-to-find talent amongst consultants. His proven record and examples are a rare find among business books. Take a look around the business topics here on Amazon.com and you'll find many books written by leaders who eventually stomped their companies and/or their employees into the ground. OR - you'll find books written in theory, but never delivered on in an actual business.
Bob's refreshing book shows his experience, knowledge of the complex balance of employee leadership, intellectual talent, knowledge management, systems, and process management. Being good at any ONE thing may get you to the top... but you need to know how to balance all to keep there. Bob understands this.
This book will save you time and expense. For once, a book with a Return on Investment!
Must Read for Anyone in Business.......2003-08-26
This book is a must read for anyone in business. Flores' approach to management and writing is straightforward and succinct. His explanations and examples are engaging and applicable across organizational departments. He is arming people with the knowledge they need to `see through' so much of the unnecessary politics and inefficiencies in corporations. He accomplishes this through his story-telling as well as giving the reader tools to use to achieve efficiency and sanity.
Made MY Customer's happy!.......2003-07-29
I was looking for a book that would help me to serve my customers better in addition to saving money in my business.
This book is it!
This book should be called "How to please your customer and save money while doing it."
After reading the first three chapters, I decided to put the material to the test and begin some of the work suggested in the book. The results were nothing short of amazing. Using the pre-made templates, and what I learned on building an effective organization, I was quickly able to make small changes within my organization that had HUGE impacts.
Our customer satisfaction ratings went up by over 25% in a MONTH, and we've saved enough money to hire new people. Not bad for an economy that is suffering so badly, I'd say.
I also like Robert's writing style. It's easy to read, and it is assuring to know that there is a "real person" behind this work, whose faced similar business problems and found a way to overcome them.
I'll also mention that we considering hiring a Six Sigma consultant and narrowly averted the disaster that surely would have followed. Six Sigma sounds like a good way for improving a business UNTIL you read this book. Now that I understand what Six Sigma REALLY is, I won't even consider them in the future or other consultants that can't explain to me what it is that they are going to deliver for my business.
This is my kind of book. Easy to understand, practical to use, and results right away. I highly recommend it.
A GREAT Reference For Everyone in Business.......2003-07-19
With the large number of layoffs in corporations and government agencies in the past couple of years and the economic slow down, people have to work more efficiently, and effectively to maximize the resources that they still have. To use a tired and well-worn expression " to work smarter".
This book teaches you just how to do that. It showed me how to make the most of the assets within my company that I would never have even thought of, or even considered an "asset" per se, to help my work group to make up for the people that we've lost due to layoffs and "rightsizing."
I would never have guessed that some of these simple suggestions and techniques would have such a large impact on my business.
I also really enjoyed Robert's writing style . It's an easy read, and not like other similar books I've read that seem more like a Ph.D. thesis. His book is direct, to the point and I really like that examples and templates are included for all of the work.
This is "not your father's managment book". There are no punches pulled, and I LOVE the stories that he uses to explain his point (the story of Margaret and Mary alone, is worth the price of the book) FUNNY! I can't believe that this actually happened!!
One other thing that really drew me to the book was the part about the New Jersey Devil Consultant. My company has had many consultants in and out of here for over two years, and they never seem to do any good. Now I know why. I'll never look at another "six sigma" consultant or any other, the same way again. I now know how to spot a good consultant who will actually do some good, versus one that is only going to rip us off and will be sure to quiz them on HOW they do their work, not just how much they are going to cost us.
I HIGHLY recommend this book for ANYONE in business. I'm not even convinced that we NEED consultants anymore. Me and my team can do this work ourselves!

Book Description
The proceedings of the March 1997 symposium on
Evolution! Facts and Fallacies are published in this short, accessible, and profusely-illustrated text. When Darwin originated his concept of descent with modification by means of natural selection, evolution became the instant focus of uncertainty and debate. In
Evolution! noted experts sort facts from fallacies by answering questions most often asked of Darwin's grand theory. Interwoven throughout is the broad theme of how science is done and the answer to the most crucial question of all: How can we be sure that science will uncover the truth? Contributors are key experts on evolution and extraterrestrial life. Written at an easily understandable level, this book is accessible as well as entertaining to the general reader, high school, and college student.
* How does evolution work and how do we discover its rules?
* How can life's history be traced through millions and billions of years?
* Where are evolution's "missing links" and how do we hunt them down?
* Are we alone, or is the Cosmos teeming with life?

The cure to scientific illiteracy?.......2001-09-08
The 6 chapters of this slim volume occupy only 140 pages. Only the first half deals with the subject of evolution proper: punctuated equilibrium, dating, missing links. The rest of the book deals with: the mass media, scientific blunders, ET life.
The book's mission is to counter the scientific illiteracy, as perceived by its authors, of the American public as well as the rest of the world. It sets out some very sound scientific principles (p79). Unfortunately the authors themselves have generally failed to adhere to them. Science is equated with evolution, and evolution is treated as a premise throughout. The treatment of the subject is superficial, arguments are oversimplified, difficulties are glossed over, and the wool is pulled over readers' eyes. For example, an evolutionary tree of hominids is presented unquestionably as fact, including H. habilis which is not even accepted as a valid taxon by some evolutionist authorities. Nothing is said to alert readers to the pitfalls surrounding theories of human origin. In his book "Bones of Contention", Roger Lewin wrote: 'In fact, "virtually all our theories about human origins were relatively unconstrained by fossil data," observes David Pilbeam. "The theories are ... fossil-free or in some cases even fossil-proof."
It is claimed that "evolution tells us that all living (and extinct) species did indeed evolve from earlier ancestral species" (p43). Quite apart from the tautology and question begging inherent in the statement, the book offers no empirical evidence for evolution. According to Alan Linton (Emeritus Professor of Bacteriology & former Head of Dept. of Microbiology, University of Bristol, UK), "None exists in the literature claiming that one species has been shown to evolve into another. Bacteria, the simplest form of independent life, are ideal for this kind of study, with generation times of 20 to 30 minutes, and populations achieved after 18 hours. But throughout 150 years of the science of bacteriology, there is no evidence that one species of bacteria has changed into another, in spite of the fact that populations have been exposed to potent chemical and physical mutagens and that, uniquely, bacteria possess extrachromosomal, transmissible plasmids. Since there is no evidence for species changes between the simplest forms of unicellular life, it is not surprising that there is no evidence for evolution from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells, let alone throughout the whole array of higher multicellular organisms." (book review in The Times Higher Educational Supplement, 20 Apr 01).
Evolutionists frequently portray creationists as scientifically illiterate, and this book adopts the same attitude. But according to Prof. Linton, "They include leading research scientists, past and present, who find the theory of evolution to be scientifically untenable".
I am totally sympathetic to the concern expressed in chapter 4 over the shoddy treatment of science by the mass media, but I also find it ironic that the book laments the lack of critical thinking among the lay public. The fact is that many evolutionist popularisers are not at all interested in critical thinking on the part of their readers. Instead of presenting an accurate, balanced account to their readers so that they can critically evaluate the evidence for and against, and make up their own minds, evolutionist authors are far more concerned to get their readers to believe evolution. This book is no exception, and it is not the answer to making America, and the rest of the world, more scientifically literate.
Typical Rationalism-Equals-Science Spiel.......2000-04-06
This is the usual humanistic rosy misportrayal of organic evolution. As always, trivial changes within species or within genera are blindly extrapolated to molecules-to-man evolution. The numerous contradictory opinions within human evolutionary scenarios are conveniently glossed over. Creationism is rejected as science because it supposedly is simply a belief. In truth, whether you agree with creationists or not, you must face the fact that creationists rest their positions not just on religious beliefs but also on the empirical evidence.
Excellent.......2000-01-18
This book is a collection of papers presented at a sumposium on evolution. The target audience of the papers is the proverbial educated layperson. This is a good book to give your creationist friends who are asking questions about the reliability of dating methods, missing links, the completeness of the fossil record, etc.
The first paper is by Stephen Gould who is always trotted out by Creationists as someone who doesn't believe in Darwinism ( but punctuated equilibrium ). Wrong ! While Mr. Gould is a proponent of punc ek, he still agrees with Darwinism as his paper makes clear.
A useful way to look at evolution is to divide it into 3 categories: the fact of evolution, the path of evolution and the process of evolution. As Mr. Gould makes clear, the fact of evolution cannot be doubted by any sane person. As he also makes clear in his paper, the path of evolution is random. It is directionless. That is, we did not have to evolve. Mr. Gould's twist is on the process of evolution. He presented punc ek as an enhancement to Darwinism. He felt that Darwinism was incomplete. The Cambrian explosion is an example of evolution that appears to have taken place quickly. He presents punc ek as an explanation. Punc ek is still debated largely because it is not really a theory but more a description.
The papers on dating methods and missing links in the fossil record are good as well.
I recommend the book for new comers who are interested in the specific issues discussed.
For more exhaustive and complete books on evolution, I would look instead to *Evolution*, by Mark Ridley or the new edition of *Evolutionary Biology* by Douglas Futuyma. Some other books to consider that examine creationism and find it wanting: 1)Darwin's Dangerous Idea - Daniel Dennet 2)Tower of Babel - The Evidence Against the New Creationism - Robert Pennock 3)Evolution and the Myth of Creationism - A Basic Guide to the Facts in the Evolution Debate - Tim Berra 4) Science on Trial - The Case for Evolution - Douglas Futyma 5) Darwinism Defended - Michael Ruse 6) Taking Darwin Seriously - Michael Ruse 7) The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins
There are so many more, but this is a good start.
Besides quantum mechanics, the theory of evolution is the most widely tested and substantiated theory in science. It's a tragedy that more people aren't aware of this. Maybe they don't care for the implications. But: there is a way the world is that is independent of our thoughts and wishes!

Book Description
This book looks at animal law in a wide context and considers policy issues, moral and ethical debates, political ideas and economic influences. It concentrates on public forms of control as these make up the bulk of legal protection in this area, but it also looks briefly at common law controls. The book also examines European law and International law and it takes a comparative look at Australian law which has taken a different stance to the UK in relation to the protection of animals.
Book Description
In the 1960s, California's Yosemite Valley was the center of the rock-climbing universe, spawning many of the finest rock climbers in the world and shaping the future of the sport. Camp 4 is Roper's take on his ten years spent in the valley among the era's top climbers.
Customer Reviews:
How It All Began.......2002-12-20
Steve Roper is meticulous. This is an excellent history, and I feel positive and secure that Mr. Roper's records are as accurate and precise as they can possibly be of that rowdy and rambunctious world. I enjoyed reading about the historical climbers and the more social rock climbers of the '30s. Those were the days when families came, climbed a little, picnicked a lot, and a good time was had by all.
The Golden Age of the '60s, of which Steve was a part, was a time of great improvements in equipment and methods, and also a first crack at some of the awesome spires that were heretofore thought "impossible." It was wild, giddy and reckless, adjectives I would never apply to Steve Roper. Mr. Roper is austere in his beliefs of the "purity" of the climb and who is worthy. Though he recounts a few wild escapades, I had the feeling he did not approve. His callousness toward the first Camp 4 fatality made me back up and reread. Yep, I read it right, though I'm sure he was trying to keep up the "Right Stuff" façade in the face of what must have been a great shock to an 18-year old boy. That is the problem; there are so few that Roper considers to have the Right Stuff. If they were women, they were mere appendages. If male and had the misfortune to be born after 1955, they were not pure enough.
John Long's "Rock Jocks, Wall Rats and Hang Dogs" is devoted to Camp 4 in the '70s. John is Steve's polar opposite except in their mutual love for and expertise in rock climbing. John is wildly funny and sometimes just wild, but I had more a feeling of place when reading his book.
As another reviewer said, "Camp 4" is a must-have for West Coast rock enthusiasts. It is considered the Bible of the Golden Age.

Enthralling and Exact.......2002-08-01
I was a Yosemite climber in the 1970's and met a number of the major characters (Frost, Chouinard, Robbins, Harding). Steve Roper has done an incredible job of capturing the ephemeral facts and essential spirit of the climbers and times. He is frank about their weaknesses: "We were thoughtless and immature"(pg 154) and "...we were puerile youths. We had been taught the correct values at home, yet we rebelled against everything," (pg 155-6), referring to the troubles they caused in the Vally. He is honest about his own failures, both in his own character and on climbs he could not do. He is enthusiastic about the successes of the pioneers and freely gives credit to those who deserve it. Steve not only gives you facts, he gives you feelings and insights. You can't get better history than this.
The only criticism I have is that the book ends. I could have kept reading for many more days. If you want to FEEL what it was like, buy this book. I will bet you can't read it only once.
The Golden Era!!!.......2001-12-07
This is probably the best account of the Golden Age of Yosemite climbing that has come off the presses. Very honest portrayal of the figures and players by someone who has there to see it all. Very moving, and also very humurous at times. Roper has truly captured the spirit of a long gone era for the younger generation to enjoy and look up to. Thanks.
A fine history of an extraordinary time and place.......2000-01-11
While I doubt anybody could do complete justice to the history of rock climbing in Yosemite, Roper's focus provides a wonderful personal perspective on the most important twenty years of the development of this activity in Yosemite.
Since he knew, and climbed with, many of the pioneers of modern free and aid climbing, this book is often more valuable as a source of anecdote than as a more detached "history". Taken as such, though, it is well-written and entertaining.
Camp 4.......1999-12-11
This book has been very popular among enthusiasts of climbing history, and is certainly worth looking at for the rare snapshots which it contains. It's particularly timely now with the recent fight to preserve Camp 4.
However, I found Roper's moralism, his unremitting attempts to make climbing Meaningful and to extol those climbers whom he feels are somehow Pure, tiresome. There are both gods and devils in Roper's version of the Valley, and he gets pretty bitchy when he talks about the devils.
It's the canonical Valley history, though, so read it anyway.

Awesome resource.......2006-03-22
I am a parent and I really loved this college guide! I have read several guides and this really did a great job of reviewing the colleges from an African-American perspective. My husband went to a historically black university (HBU) and he felt the comparison of the historically black university (HBU) to the predominately white universities was incredibly accurate.
Thsi book exceeded my expectations!
It's A Great Help Guide ! ! !.......2003-10-03
This is a tip to students and parents. If you have a good student who is trying to get into a select school, this is the best help guide I've seen in years. My daughter and friends made top schools using this one
An Amazon Customer.......2003-09-13
The information provided in the book was informative, however over 1/3 of the letters I mailed out requesting scholarship information were returned due to bad addresses.
Extremely Helpful Resource for Student and Parents.......2001-09-21
This guidebook has been meticulously researched and gives readers the kind of heads-up needed to get in the best schools and find money to pay for it. Solid info and insider coaching for every phase of the process. Invaluale.
A Must Have!!!.......2001-05-25
This book is outstanding! I should have ordered two copies, because my daughter and I hounded each other for the book. We couldn't put it down. It gives great advice on every aspect of the application process. It gave my daughter the extra confidence that she needed. My daughter took it to school and everyone who saw the book wanted to know where and how to get it. Every student should have a copy of this book. I highly recommend it.

industry standard.......2007-08-03
It's a good and informative book, but be aware that the authors assume you already know how to use the equipment needed (including ink, pens, computers, software, etc).
Amazing book for Visual Artists & Filmmakers.......2007-07-31
You sometimes have to read outside of your field to understand central aspects that goes unsaid or unexplained. As a filmmaker, I've looked to other how-to comics and graphic novel books for help, but they didn't bridge any gap between the page and screen. Alas, in the first few pages, all the questions I've had of color theory and applying it are answered with accompanying illustrations. Right away you can see the dramatic effect of a color value in a black and white image. The last book that attempted to cover this that I read was Sight and Vision, and it kind of confused issues by being too academic. This is very direct.
This book focuses on Photoshop and Illustrator, and explains the workflows for each. Again, very direct on the ideas behind WHY you do something, provides the HOW, leaving it to the reader to put in the time to get good through practice. The ilustrator portion will have you doing quick balloons in no time. Even if you don't know Illustrator or can't get through the manual.
So if you're unsure of why you would color correct an image- get this book. If you're unsure of why you should even bother to worry about the colors of sets and costumes- get this book. Again, I've been aware of these issues and theories, but this one book just made me say "Hey! I got it! I understand the jargon finally!" And not only do I get it, I understand WHY an image works, and how to make it work for the emotion desired. For the cover price, that's a low fee for a personal triumph!
Finally, this is a practical book. There are books on doing fantasy art and sci fi art, but this focuses on an extremely important art of coloring and lettering. Read this first!
Color Heroes.......2007-07-06
A very extensive review of all that goes into good quality illustrations and comic books. There is minimal text, and MANY illustrative examples. This book covers everything you need, from tools to terms, in order to design a classic comic panel. I recommend for all cartoonists and illustrators.
A must have for aspiring colorists and lettering.......2007-03-17
This is by far the most informative book I have come across for lettering and coloring comics. it gives you step by step instructions on how to scan your art, prep it in photoshop, color it, letter it and finally the clean up process. heck, it even goes into how to submit it to the publisher. it also gives non step by step info on things such as color theory and the use of photoshop filters. WAY better than any Marvel book i've read so far.
big on theory lacking in instruction.......2007-02-15
I purchased this book thinking I would learn Photoshop techniques for coloring. There weren't any. It verily explained the terminology. If you are interested in the theory of why comic books are colored the way they are, this book is for you. If you want to learn the technical skills for coloring, this book is not for you.
