Outdated and Old.......2001-06-07

How things used to be, not how they are today. Old processes, old way of doing things. Unfortunately, there's really nothing else out there to fill the gap - this may be the best available. Be warned, if you want to set up a proactive purchasing department, this is not how to do it.

A Must for New Purchasing Agents.......2000-06-29

This book provides the complete groundwork for setting policies and procedures in a purchasing department. As a new purchasing agent, I value this resource, which enabled me to develop a functional, effective purchasing department.

Invaluable Advice.......2007-09-03

This book delivers and as an added bonus - it is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Most of all it demands action and really there is no excuse but to move forward and make improvements tailored to your own practice. I highly recommend this book to all practitioners.

Just what the lawyers ordered.......2007-01-01

The Successful Lawyer is the perfect mix of practical ideas and different approaches to the practice of law. Gerry Riskin offers new and experienced lawyers tips and tactics to help them not only be more successful in the practice of law, but have more fun and enjoyment doing it. The Successful Lawyer is a must read for any lawyer in any size law firm.

Gift for Newly Admitted Attorneys.......2006-08-17

"The Successful Lawyer: Powerful Strategies for Transforming Your Practice" is a powerful tool to help young attorneys explore ways of growing their practice. Gerry Riskin uses short, practical examples taken from every-day practice to help attorneys focus on situations they certainly will be faced with at some point in their careers.

The CD's of "The Successful Lawyer" are also a great teaching tool for individuals who spend time commuting in the car. Riskin effectively uses brief chapters to move the reader from topic to topic.

This book and CD set would be a valuable gift for any newly admitted attorney.

A practical resource: Be sure and take notes!.......2006-07-12

Legal consultant Gerald Riskin does a remarkable job of forcing practicing attorneys to look at their practice objectively, particularly from a client's point of view. He suggests early on that readers mark up the margins or keep a journal - good advice! I kept a list of pointers as I read to prioritize later. The author notes astutely that no lawyer is likely to do a full practice makeover, but anyone can read this book and come away with 3-4 things they can do immediately, at little or no expense, to improve their practice. By incorporating Riskin's suggestions, in manageable chunks of 3-4 at a time, any lawyer can expand their practice and (best of all) make their practice more satisfying. It is hard to imagine any attorney coming away from this very readable book without 20 or more ideas of things they want to change in their practice.

Well Endorsed and well deserved!.......2006-02-16

This book was heavily hyped by Tom Peters in one of his blogs, and as most of you probably know, Tom Peters don't promote no garbage!

This is a great book and well worth any professional taking the time to read . . . cover to cover. Bring a fresh highlighter to mark your favorite to-do's, a pen and your diary to post your personal action plans, and you will soon be on track to transforming your practice.

Book Description

During Alan Greenspan's tenure at the US Federal Reserve Board, the US economy has consistently outperformed expectations. Greenspan has not been panicked by recessionary pressures and has held faith in the view that, despite short-term setbacks, the world economy is locked into a steady long-term upward cycle and is about to enter another "Golden Age" comparable to that of the late 19th century. The world's rapid recovery from the 1998 Asian crisis supports this theory almost conclusively and has drawn considerable interest from the world's financial and business community. This unique book explains the theory, presents its historical context, shows how Greenspan has harnessed it, and predicts how the "Golden Age" might develop.

Customer Reviews:

Truly Marvellous.......2001-02-03

Francois-Xavier Chevallier's work is truly exceptional. The book has given the right momentum to the thought of economic phenomena proceeding by alternative phases of expansion and comparison. The book has certainly taken me to the Golden Age. The Marvellous clock depicted in the book has made me think about the next up wave that is round the corner as suggested by the book. If the Central Bankers would have thought in the lines of Fed's Chairman and emphasized on the long wave phenomena then they would have been able to avert the recessionary period the world is witnessing now. This book is definitely worth having in the Library. It would have scored a top star rating if the author had explained how Greenspan read the early signals and pulled out the US from the down wave. However, the author requires aprreciation for his work in putting forward the Long Wave Theory through this book with statistical validation. The best part of the book is how the Kondrateiff Cycle is examined and compared with the present scenarios.

Book Description

Capitalism has built the modern world. Although there are some who would dispute that claim, it is clear, at least for those who examine the facts without bias or political intent, that economies based on capitalism are stronger and expand at a faster rate than other economic systems. This fact has been well established throughout history.

At its simplest and purest, capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals and companies produce and exchange goods and services through free markets. Many political leaders hope to influence their people via the economy, they may attempt to protect domestic business from foreign competition, or they may try to increase revenue with tariffs or export duties. That these types of objectives usually only hinder economic activity over the long term is frequently ignored, lost in the rhetoric about social considerations and goals.

Of the many factors that can affect how the capitalist spirit develops in a country, one which is often overlooked is that of entrepreneurship. In lands where capitalism is unfettered by unnecessary regulation and where entrepreneurship is dynamic, impressive economic gains and advancements can be expected. Entrepreneurship is perhaps one of the greatest driving forces of capitalism. Indeed, the two are inseparable.

Most people can only dream about becoming wealthy. They have all the wrong ideas. Only a certain portion of the world's population ever achieves wealth. Even in the United States, only a few get wealthy. There is a reason why only a few people produce most of the wealth in the world. It's because the majority of people have no interest in taking charge of their future. They keep waiting around for someone else to do it for them. Only those who are accustomed to taking charge of the world around them, and creating opportunities for themselves, will see the advantages of entrepreneurship.

Prosperity for the individual is the only real way to benefit society. Your personal success will do more to improve the world than hundreds of bureaucrats and their useless regulations.

Consider what your world might be like should you be given the power to do exactly what you wanted to do with your life.

We ask you to dream. Expand your personal horizons to include all the world — not the limited world you may have known most, or all, of your life — but the world beyond and all its infinite possibilities.

Clearest, most effective way to better the human condition.......2002-09-19

Capitalists are seen as little more than wealth seekers -- rarely as humanitarians. But the creation of wealth and the innovation and technological advancement that comes with it is the clearest and most effective way to better the human condition.

REAL capitalism works for everyone.......2002-05-26

The simple fact is that the sun always shines somewhere. When times are tough at home, there is some country where business opportunity is best! This book shows how to have a successful business locally and also how to expand it abroad.

Book Description

On January 1 1995, Austria and Sweden joined the European Union (EU). This book analyzes why these two countries joined at such a moment when in fact the EU's development towards neo-liberal economic policy - embodied in the Internal Market and covergence criteria of the Economic and Monetary Union - endangered the traditional Keynesian economic policy making, and at a time when the steps towards a Common Foreign and Security Policy threatened their neutrality.

Book Description

This report provides a framework for supporting the development of sustainable microfinance systems that provide diverse, high-quality services to traditionally underserved low-income or poor households and their microenterprises. In particular, the gradual commercialization of the Philippines's heterogeneous microfinance industry is explored, as well as the remaining challenges to sustainable microfinance in other nations, including insufficient understanding of the microfinancing process and slow movement toward commercialization.
