Maps Need Some Revisions.......2007-08-03
This was a book a professor assigned for an Economic Geography class. We got the most use out of the maps throughout the book. The data was useful, however, the color sequences in the maps were not logical so it made them a little confusing to interpret untill we got used to the "mixed up legend". It was the class joke for the semester.

First Draft Text Book, A Joke.......2005-12-11
This book has so many obnoxious errors in it. Every thing from textual to printing to the index.
Textual:
The actual content keeps this book from being one star. It's not bad, not good, but not bad. Sort of drab, but it could be worse. There are, however, stylistic, grammatical, etc... errors in the text. They're infrequent, but present.
Printing:
The book is full of graphs and maps. However, time and again I come across a map where there is no shaded data in the regions. For example, the map will say the concentration of blah blah factories in the United States, with each state supposedly shaded differently. However, the printer forgot to add any colors to the map, so you get a blank map with no data.
Index:
Entries are listed twice a number of times. It doesn't hurt anything, but it's annoying.
Now I work part time in textbook publishing for a small company, so I know some financial constraints, such as their usage of only blue as the book's highlight color. But books should be able to afford final reviewers and editors so they don't produce a book filled with errors.
And is this really the fourth addition?
To the book's credit, some of the graphs and examples are interesting and abnormal.
I hate this book, but if you're a student, you're going to have to buy it. If you're faculty, try another Economic Geography book.

Book Description
This best-selling introduction to the basic concepts of business communication is designed to improve the communication skills of entry-level managers and employees, and to serve as a reference for experienced professionals who wish to refresh or update their communication skills. Separate chapters on the communication process, organizational theory and culture, and interpersonal communication theory form the foundation for later discussions of critical listening, nonverbal communication, and obstacles to organizational communication. Two chapters are devoted to interviewing and two chapters examine small groups and leadership processes. Four final chapters offer guidance in informative and persuasive presentations, including full-chapter coverage of language and delivery and full-chapter coverage of the use of visual aids. A highly-visual 4-color design, pedagogy that is as practical as it is effective, and a CD-ROM with sample business and professional scenarios, will help your students engage with the material and apply the text's concepts outside the classroom.

Don't Buy It if you don't need it.......2007-10-04
This is a good book, but I quickly realized I didn't need it. I have worked for 15 years in various office settings, and was able to complete many homework assignments without the assistance of this book. The only pieces that I had to focus on were the different office conflict scenarious listed through the book, but if your class does not focus on these entries, the book may not be too useful.
smooth transaction, exact product, nice&easy supplier.......2007-05-14
exact product at an affordable price w a smooth transaction
Excellent Book .......2007-03-24
I obtained this book more than ten years ago when I took Ms. Hamilton's class at Tarrant County College. I still have it and refer to it from time to time. I also used the communication styles from this book for a team presentation in another class, at University of Phoenix, a few years ago. My teammate and I had both taken Ms. Hamilton's class at TCC (different years) and were very impressed with the book, had both held on to it and use it for reference in communication styles, resumes, interviews, and presentations. I highly recommend it.
Great book, Bad CD-Rom.......2006-11-09
This book has some great information in it and it could stand alone very easily on its content. The CD-ROM, however, needs work. It is nearly impossible to install since it continually prompts you to install QuickTime 6.0, even if you already have it! The CD-ROM also requires you to turn off all of your virus protection to use it. I give the actual book a B+ and the CD-ROM a grade of D-.
Please let your instructor know of the CD-ROM issues so complaints can be filed with the publisher to get this fixed.
Good Basic Information on Improving Communication .......2006-07-06
Communicating for Results is a good primer for the student or person who wants to improve his/her communication abilities.
Among the topics covered include:
1. Information on the different types of interviews.
2. Nonverbal communication in organizations.
3. How to be an effective listener (hint: we were born with one mouth and two ears!).
4. How to deliver informative presentations.
5. The types of visual aids and how to use them.
6. How to make persuasive presentations.
7. Participating in small groups.
8. How to prepare for a presentation by researching, supporting, and delivering your ideas.
All in all, a good basic book for a 2 or 4-year school. The writing style is simple without being simplistic.
Recommended.
