Book Description
Faded Dreams paints a new and challenging picture of how racial inequality has evolved in America. Martin Carnoy shows that three dominant views of economic differences between blacks and whites--that blacks are individually responsible for not taking advantage of market opportunities, that the world economy has changed in ways that puts blacks at a tremendous disadvantage compared to whites, and that pervasive racism is holding blacks down--do not adequately explain why blacks made such large gains in the past and stopped making them in the 1980s and 1990s. Using a systematic analysis of fifty years of data on income, education, and the variety of jobs that both blacks and whites have held, Faded Dreams offers a powerful argument for active government intervention to improve the education and living conditions of disadvantaged black children.
Book Description
A view, through rose colored glasses with a few cracks in the lenses, of a woman's struggle at home, work and play. Funny, but poignant battles with the FBI, childhood cancer and family using a wink, a smile and a frown.

Not worth the money.......2007-05-13
NOthing new in this text that has not already been said/written a hundred times before.
Dissappointing purchase.
Executive Job Search Handbook by Orrin Wood.......2004-04-11
Having experienced firsthand the sage advice of Orrin Wood in my own transition from corporate America to business entrepreneur, I applaud the publication of his second book. Recognizing how the landscape for the executive job hunt has changed, Mr. Wood provides important insights into the varied campaigns the successful candidate should undertake in this search. From thinking out of the box in developing your network of contacts, to understanding the power and the limitations of the internet, to setting critical hurdles for yourself - this book will challenge you to discipline and challenge yourself in this journey. This is the seasoned professional's "no holes barred" handbook for negotiating the landscape for the "next chapter". There are immediate and life lessons to be learned from this important book.
Principal, Quality Systems Management, Tewksbury MA.......2004-03-14
With over 40 years backgroud in the high tech field, I have experienced "job transitioning" several times; often as a painful journey. Orwin Wood, in his latest book, pulls together everything which took me 4 decades to accumulate.
I especially enjoyed reading the chapter on networking and the specific tips on being alert to hidden job possibiities. Had this particular guidance been available to me in years past, my own job searches would have been much less difficult.
Executive Job Search is an outstanding manual/guide for most levels of job hunters, even those not actively seeking new employment. I have recommended the book to friends and clients.
I used first hand the strategy defined in this book........2004-03-13
I used first hand the strategy defined in this book. Guess what? It works.
After losing my job at Agilent Technologies in Andover, MA in 2001, I spent 10 months in the Boston area looking for another job. There was none until I met Orrin and followed step by step what he prescribes in this book. I found my dream job 5 months later in the Washington,DC area.
The Executive Job Search by Orrin Wood.......2004-03-06
This book is the most comprehensive guide through the intricacies of the job search process that I have ever found. It methodically walks the reader through the complete executive job search process. Actually, to say it is comprehensive is an understatement. Orrin Wood starts at the very beginning prior to departing from one's current position, he proceeds to literally dissect the whole search process itself, finishing with the eventual adjustment period in the new job and beyond. It is rich with examples and step-by-step instructions on how to develop the necessary material for a successful job search. Then, to ensure successful use of the material just generated, Orrin Wood carefully alerts the reader to the many subtle pitfalls at various points in the search process, and the do's & don'ts to avoid them. In addition, applicable outside resources have been inserted throughout the book, making it an ideal primary guide during the job search. This book is a "must-read" for any executive who is realistic about the uncertainties in today's marketplace!

Book Description
Many executives today are vulnerable, having been recently downsized or fired, victims of the ongoing economic downtown. Or they hate their current jobs but feel they have no chance to move on to a more positive career. Executive Job Search Handbook will help management-level employees deal with the trauma of job loss, the threat or reality of down-sizing, and show how to create a plan to get the job they really want.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting book, not appropriate for executives.......2004-04-16
While the content in this book is fine and reasonable, I found most of it simplistic and not applicable for people looking for executive jobs. It includes helpful hints like "you'll need to set up a home office for your job search," "make sure your kids answer the phone in a professional manner," and "don't stop paying your bills--it will mess up your credit." There are stories of people who changed professions mid-career, with examples being a building contractor who became a doctor; a banker who became a website developer and a woodworker who became a biomedical engineer.
Fascinating reading, but what does this have to do with executive job searching? Not much.
Answers to Executives' Job Search Questions.......2003-06-09
This is the ideal book for the executive who has been downsized, or fears downsizing, because of today's troubled economy. For those recently downsized, it gives complete advice on getting your "house" in order, and then goes on to give invaluable advice on organizing a job search, from reviewing your skills and strengths, to creating an attack plan, to marketing yourself, interviewing, and negotiating. A variety of sidebars from both successful job seekers and experts in executive career placement nationwide give field-tested tips and tricks that really helped other seekers get ahead. A variety of self-assessment instruments helps readers examine their own behaviors and workways to improve their chances of finding and thriving on a new job.
Product Description
A revolutionary new way to change jobs by using the world's most advanced technology and team resources; completely unmasks today's common job hunting myths and refutes old methods.

The Beardstown Ladies Little book of Investment Wisdom.......2006-11-27
Well, here is your polar oposite view of the other comment on this book. I found it wonderful! These are not Wall Street MBA's giving you advise. These are everyday people trying to figure out how to invest their money. Over time, the Ladies have done pretty well! If you find them a bit brash, okay! A small price to pay to get their wisdom. Buy the book!
Investment Wisdom at 9.1% returns??? Gimme a break!.......1998-09-27
Irrelevant one-liners and drawings from a bunch of underperforming pseudoinvestors with a superiority complex, written in a condescending grandmotherly tone. It was hard to keep a straight face while reading it. Save the wear and tear on your nerves by not reading this book. I didn't buy it, neither should you.
