Absolutely outstanding.......2006-03-21
I am a graphic design professional and the daily application, negotiation and consideration of 'communication' in all of its forms impacts my work, and this is mostly referring to the communication that occurs between people and societies, over and above that of 'designed communication' through the products of a graphic design project. I commenced a Masters Degree in Organisational and Professional Communication, and found that this text was far superior to everything I was presented in the degree... this book crystalises every pivotal concept, in clear, accessible, and credible language... but most of all bridges the gap between academia and actual practice. I'm so thrilled with this book. It's like a bible to everything that matters... understanding more about the nature of human beings and relationships in all aspects of modern life. I would recommend this book to literally anyone.
Making Org Comm Understandable.......2004-01-30
I am a communication graduate student, so I've read a lot of organization communication texts and readers. I've read my Weick, my Mumby, my Deetz, my Jablin, my Putnam & my Poole. While I would never suggest that anyone ever forgo reading primary sources, who can argue that sometimes we just lack the time to read everything we would like to? That is where this book comes in.
This Eisenberg & Goodall book is not just an average review of the major concepts, themes and theories in organizational communication. It covers the concepts of org comm in more detail than most texts do. The authors also are very aware of the changes and challenges to organizations in the contemporary world, and included excellent chapters on globalization, outsourcing, etc.
Finally, Eisenberg & Goodall wrote this text interactively. It is the most dialogical of all the org comm texts I've read. This stimulates not just the memorization of fact, but deep-rooted thinking and contemplation.
If you do not know where to start when you look at the expansive landscape of organizational communication, this is THE place to start. After a thorough reflective reading of Eisenberg and Goodall, you will definately have a firm foundation to read the primary sources you want.

Customer Reviews:
Fairly good manual for making presentations.......2007-07-11
This is a fairly good manual for learning to give good presentations. The approach for learning presentation skills is very systematic and structured. There is a whole chapter on overcoming stage fright. This book might seem a bit dated for PowerPoint aficionados as it barely mentions PowerPoint and gives much importance to transparencies and 35 mm slides.
The work-sheets are very good and useful. I was wondering if this book would have been better in a larger size resulting in a more modern appearance and because the worksheets would have been easier to use.

Excellent Needed Information.......2005-11-30
I have attended a seminar by Mr. Gordon. I purchased the book to do planning for my parents. The information has been invaluable! Everything of any importance is covered in the book, along with references to find out additional information, if necessary. I have recommended this book to several clients for review of their own personal situations.
This is one of the best books you could buy on this subject.

The Bible for understanding Long Term Care.......2005-07-21
Harley Gordon is the master at explaining the real story behind long care planning. If you want to know the facts about how to protect assets and still provide the best care for a loved one, this is the one book to read.
Indispensable Medicaid Primer.......2003-07-03
I have heard Harley Gordon speak on a number of occasions. He is forceful and to-the-point - and so is his book. Harley eschews legalese to deliver an easy-to-read discussion regarding Medicaid planning. This is source material for those in the insurance/financial planning arena and for those confronted with the prospect of spending down their assets prior to going on Medicaid, i.e. welfare. The material is presented in "Dick and Jane" fashion; it is an easy read. I recommend it to anyone who might be impacted in any way by Medicaid.
How to Protect Your Life Savings From Catastrophic Illness a.......2000-02-16
I f you wish to understand the subjects of Medicare and Medicaid as they relate to aging and long term care, this book is a must - and a "keeper". I am a 28-year insurance professional and have been involved in long term care insurance since 1988. I have heard Mr. Gordon speak on a number of occasions. He speaks as he writes - clearly and to the point. An attorney, he avoids "legalese". Our insurance agency trains other insurance agents in long term care. I always recommend that they purchase this book. It is imperative that our prospects and clients understand what (limited) benefits they might receive from either of these government programs. Mr. Gordon makes a complex subject understandable.

Book Description
This comprehensive and far-reaching book, now available in paperback, describes the growth and economic integration of the European economy from 1500 to 1913. The authors apply macroeconomic techniques to identify growth rates, inflation, product markets, trade networks and business cycles across a set of countries over the period.
The book demonstrates that growth was the natural state for European economies throughout the period although, under the impetus of the industrial revolution, growth rates generally accelerated by the end of the nineteenth century. Similarly, business cycles in the modern sense seem to have been in evidence at the beginning of the period but by the eighteenth century there is no doubt that modern cycles affected these countries, sometimes simultaneously. Inflationary episodes are both distinct and shared in this long period, with the long inflation of the sixteenth century attesting to the integration of European markets. Finally, the authors find abundant quantitative evidence to support the argument that economies linked by international trade in 1500 came close to achieving global integration by 1913.
The European Macroeconomy will be of interest to scholars of economic history, international economics and macroeconomics.

References and questions.......2005-05-29
The authors seem to have set out to summarize existing themes in European Macroeconomics. While the authors don't actually present decade by decade Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates, the issue must have been on their minds. Instead of The English GDP in 1510 we get estimates of agricultural output, standard of living change, industrial production and population growth. GDP is left to the reader. As the authors approach the modern era, the documented record only makes GDP estimate easier. As a reference for population growth and industrial output, the book provides a real service.
I was a bit disappointed by the omissions. There was no discussion of the growing literature on weather conditions between 1500 and 1900. Russia, Turkey and Morocco played important roles in European affairs, but were generally ignored. Finally, the paucity of 16th century data is in stark contrast to the 19th, but no effort is made to infer what suddenly made the tracking time series data useful.
a must-read for economic historians!.......2003-11-26
The complete reference, all at your fingertips, on the European Macroeconomy.
