step-by-step-instructions for leading a group.......2001-04-24

This slim, plain looking, little book is evidence that you can't judge a book by its cover. A wealth of information awaits the reader of this book. I was looking for an instruction guide for new group leaders and this book is a stand-alone resource. Initially, it describes the different types of groups. It then goes on to give a very solid foundation in group dynamics and psychology. However, unlike many books it goes beyond the theoretical and addresses the step-by-step practical issues for group leaders including opening, designed and ending group discussions. Finally it gives solid, simple methods for dealing with problems that might arise. Bottom line....this book is 99 pages full of useful facts and info on group leadership...best for the beginner but will provide experts with great tips too.

Professional Coach review by someone who works with people making this transition.......2006-10-05

All of Wendy Enelow's books on resume writing are excellent. She is particularly good at providing examples of powerful resumes and illustrates the principles she talks about to grab an employer's attention.

This book is simply written, contains the most important information you need to know to do a good resume and an assortment of formats, different types of resumes, etc.

I have used this book with my clients and I highly recommend it for those that are returning to work. It is encouraging and shows you how to take your transferable skills and present them in the best possible light.

Surprisingly valuable - more than a list of resumes!.......2006-07-13

I really like the format and targeted focus of this book. It's a big 8 1/2 by 11 book - easy on the eyes. The first 62 pages gives good solid advice on the HOW of resume writing. It includes strategies for job search, gathering information, and examples of formatting styles. The rest of the book gives many examples of resumes and analyzes what the resume is designed to emphasize and why. If you are returning to the employment world after an absence - for any reason - this book is practical and mind expanding.

Book Description

sFrom England to Australia, Sweden to South Korea, the international business community is embracing ISO 14000, the most flexible approach to environmental management yet devised. While a growing number of organizations are adopting its guidelines—with tremendous results—many are still hedging, unsure whether the benefits of implementation are worth their time, resources, and attention. This authoritative reference, written by an expert in the field, provides the information you need as a business manager to not only determine the appropriateness of ISO 14000 for your company, but to take the right steps toward successful certification.

Currently endorsed by more than one hundred countries, ISO 14000 has been adopted by such leading multinational corporations as Ford, Sony, Volvo, and Rockwell International. It has been met with tremendous enthusiasm, due in large part to its role in creating uniformity among the chaotic, often contradictory, environmental regulations that exist from country to country. In point of fact, ISO 14000 was designed to do much more than reduce waste and resource consumption. A sound system for navigating and controlling environmental impact, ISO 14000 is currently regarded as an indispensable part of the global business scene, making it essential for companies and their managers to be aware of the intricate structure, proper applications, and far-reaching effects of this important series of standards.

Perry Johnson—an ISO authority who is the founder of both an ISO 14000 training organization and a full-service registration company—shares his expertise and insight to bring you a clear, detailed look at ISO 14000, including the business impact of standard conformance. With straightforward explanations, Johnson shows you where ISO 14000 will add value to your company, how to support the standard, and what you need to do to meet registration requirements. Most importantly, he reveals how certification can favorably impact your company's bottom line.

ISO 14000 offers complete information on:

The value and benefits of complying with ISO 14000
The relationship between ISO 14000, ISO 9000, and current European quality standards
Building an environmental management system (EMS), from setting objectives and writing procedures to verifying effectiveness and avoiding pitfalls
The scope, definitions, and principles of ISO 14001
The audit and registration process, with complete details on gathering necessary documents, choosing and interviewing qualified auditors and registrars, and meeting requirements

The first in-depth guide on ISO 14000 and the bottom line—everything business managers need to know about compliance costs, benefits, and value added

Embraced by over one hundred countries, adopted by some of the largest multinational corporations in the world—including Ford, 3M, Sony, and Canon—ISO 14000 is increasingly a vital component of the global business arena. In this comprehensive and accessible guide, a leading authority on ISO principles and procedures offers an in-depth overview that not only covers standard fundamentals, but also examines the powerful business impact compliance can have on your organization.

By addressing all the essentials, ISO 14000 helps you determine the appropriateness of implementation for your company, understand the various requirements of the standard, and—perhaps most importantly—assess the costs and benefits of certification. With clear explanations and numerous real-world examples, you'll find essential information on:

The value of ISO 14000—the pluses of being "certifiably green"
Building a sound environmental management system (EMS)—how to set objectives, write procedures, avoid mistakes, and verify effectiveness
The audit and registration process—gathering necessary documentation, conducting internal audits, choosing qualified auditors and registrars, meeting and passing requirements
Marketing your environmental position—how to reap the benefits of ISO 14000 registration

Packed with perspectives and insights of manufacturing and service industry professionals, this unique resource is an invaluable guide for managers seeking to implement ISO 14000 with successful business results.

This comprehensive, in-depth overview is the one to have for integrating ISO 14000 smoothly—and successfully—into your overall business structure.

Mr. President, please read this!.......2003-04-18

I read Global Squeeze when it first came out. It's much more realistic than any others I've read since. (Future Perfect, Maestro, Independently Wealthy) I can see no hope for our middle class due to the job exports in all occupational categories. For the latest real world view read Business Week, Feb. 3, 2003, "The Global Job Shift."

We are in real trouble.

Capital.......2002-01-18

This is a very effective piece of economic reporting and must be one of the most acute pictures of 'capital in the raw' that I have read, a desmerizing tonic to the endless litany of neoliberal triumphalism. Neither Marxist, nor doctrinaire, it unwittingly scores a bullseye of indirect marxist analysis of the one-and-the-same process that is the invariant of the capitalist system. This isn't even a radical statement. Slogans one way or the other are stopped in their tracks by facts here, and facts that induce momentary helpless shock, quite short of firebrand indignation. We don't live in a global democratic system. Therefore we don't live in a democratic system. Capital has beaten the pants off sentimentalism here. Democracy so-called is a good front, but otherwise an inconvenience to the predators described herein. The author produces one horrendous
statistic about forty thousand people controlling 81 trillion in assets. Capital.
Not much more needs to be said.
Your move, unless you are powerless, a democratic nobody. Checkmate?

It is the Crisis of World Capitalism- Not Just First world's.......2001-02-01

The book would better be titled "The First world squeeze", because if we go by the parameters of this book, what we find is a purely First world crisis.This crisis infact looks like a boon for the labour-cheap thirdworld or developing countries. But, combined with the on going hi-tech revolution, it could mean a elite class in the third world also. This is the sort of reality we find, as we observe the yawninig gap in the developing countries also, between its rich and poor. So, it looks like that the world's poor are being pitted agianst the rich and privileged few of the world more and more as the Globalization advances. Going by the present trend in polarisation of the classess world wide it looks-the day is not far off when the working class of the world would rise in unison, to deliver a death blow to the global capitalist system- as predicted by Karl Marx 150 years back.

An Interesting Way to Look at The Global Markets.......1999-12-10

As an Economics major in college, I found the book captivating. It shows the ways the emerging global market affects the first world nation's prosperity, stability, and confidence. The book also raises social responsibility and personal justice issues that will directly affect everyone within the next 30 years.

The GLOBALIST FANTASY EXPOSED!.......1999-10-25

A scary must read for those concerned about the country's future. If you feel the uneasy economic chill in the air, this book will explain why! If your city's industrial base is gone this book will explain why! If you are stuck in a minimum wage "temp" society this book will explain why! This book exposes the neo-con globalist fantasy for what it is...Free trade is not free! and Cheap labor is not cheap! Unfortunately this book does not explain why no one seems to care!!!!
