Book Description

This book focuses on the methodology and analysis of state and local population projections. It describes the most commonly used data sources and application techniques within each of three classes of projection methods (cohort-component, trend extrapolation, and structural models) and covers the components of population growth, the formation of assumptions, the development of evaluation criteria, and the determinants of forecast accuracy. It considers the strengths and weaknesses of various projection methods, paying special attention to the unique problems of making projections for small areas, and closes with an examination of technological and methodological changes affecting the production of small-area population projections.
The authors provide practical guidance to demographers, planners, and other analysts called on to construct state and local population projections. They use many examples and illustrations and present suggestions for dealing with special populations, unique circumstances, and inadequate or unreliable data; they also describe techniques for controlling one set of projections to another and for interpolating between two projections. They discuss the role of judgment and the importance of the political context in which projections are made. They emphasize the "utility" of projections, or their usefulness for decision making in a world of competing demands and limited resources.
This comprehensive book will provide readers with an understanding not only of the mechanics of commonly used population projection methods, but also of the many complex issues affecting their construction, interpretation, evaluation, and use.

5 out of 5 stars "Population Projections" for those so inclined.......2001-05-18

The new book by Smith, Tayman and Swanson is the first in many years to compile the major components of small-area population projections(data sources, methodology and evaluation) in one place.

The book is particularly good in describing the fundamentals of population analysis - which many other articles, chapters and books on projections neglect. Additionally, important advanced elements of population projections that are not commonly touched on, such as special adjustments, are addressed nicely here.

The book further instructs the reader how to use projections objectively. Too often, forecasts that are not 100% accurate are dismissed. In fact, as the book describes, imperfect forecasts still provide considerable utility in presenting alternatives, promoting agendas, sounding warnings and providing a base for other projections. To this end, the book provides a unique service in not only describing how to make small-area projections, but what to do with them.

In addition to the conventional techniques and concepts described, the authors present the latest developments in the field of projections, including structural models, GIS applications and innovative evaluative techniques.

I would strongly recommend this book as both a textbook - particularly for demography, planning, and economics students, as well as a resource for professional planners, administrators and scientists that rely on population projections.

        Book Description

        This book provides the first summary and critical appraisal of the thinking that currently informs the management of business relationships, from the perspectives of both the buyer and supplier. The authors argue that these approaches are one-dimensional and instead recommend a more holistic approach based on power, interaction and portfolio perspectives. The book provides evidence of how relationships can be aligned and misaligned in practice, using eighteen examples drawn from a variety of business cases and circumstances.

            From the author: In this paper we analyze contracts for multiple products when the supplier offers business volume discounts. The contract takes the form of price discounts for total minimum dollar volume commitments over the horizon with flexibility to adjust the total purchases upwards by a fixed percentage about this minimum commitment. The optimal policy could be complex since it involves the solution of a constrained multi-period multi-product dynamic program. We suggest approximations that give us an upper bound. To develop this upper bound, we present the optimal policy for a similar contract for a single product problem. We then develop a lower bound for the multiproduct problem and show, numerically, that the gap is small. Given the approximations standard single period resource allocation algorithms can be used to solve the problem. The resulting solution methodology is fast and permits evaluation of various what-if scenarios.

                          5 out of 5 stars The Real Deal Book on Cold Calling.......2007-08-12

                          I am one of those rare folks who enjoys cold calling but I picked up this book as a companion to Closing the Sale. This is an excellent read that can better you best results or turn around your cold calling (lack of) success. In short, this is the real deal.

                          5 out of 5 stars With Keith by Your Side, Cold Calling Works!.......2007-08-09

                          Despite what some talking heads may say, cold calling works. I've read both the "anti-cold calling" books as well as Mr. Rosen's books, and I can say that the arguments clearly lean in Mr. Rosen's favor. The "never cold call again" groups really address similar stuff that Mr. Rosen does, which leads me to believe that their position is more a matter of savvy marketing, driven to sell books, rather than anything revolutionary.

                          With that said, cold calling doesn't work...that is, unless you have a method that provides you with measurable results. And that's precisely what Mr. Rosen's book gives you. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling, is one of those essential books that never has a chance to rest on a shelf and collect dust.

                          In my experience, I was stuck. I had been cold calling for a couple of years and found myself in a telemarketing quandary. Mr. Rosen's book couldn't have come at a better time. He combines a precise, no-nonsense message with words that are easy on the eyes. His book is equal parts practical guide and motivational tool. I particularly appreciated the time he commits to the psychology of selling. The emphasis on process goals (a book he should write next) is a new look at the outcome-driven goals that many of us were taught to follow.

                          I read Mr. Rosen's book and committed time to completing his exercises and following his techniques. Two weeks later, I scheduled five qualified appointments. Why do I say "qualified"? Before I read his book, I focused on setting up the appointment. I'd meet with prospects, but after all the driving and time spent in an office, often, the only thing I had to show for my effort was a wrinkled shirt that required dry cleaning. Using Mr. Rosen's book as a guide, matters quickly turned around for me. I met with people that were ready to close because I qualified them over the phone. I wish I had his book three years ago. (To think of all the gas I would have saved!)

                          If you've doubted your skills, needed some fresh ideas, or are new to the cold calling process, buy The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling. Once you do, you'll soon have a book that has a worn down spine, pages loaded with Post-its, and a cover that refuses to stay shut--just like mine.

                          4 out of 5 stars Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling Review.......2007-07-28

                          This is a good book for those who are just beginning their cold calling career. It provides good techniques as well as outlooks on the reasons for cold calling. I would recommend for any novice cold-caller just getting started. However, for those who loathe cold calling, but realize the necessity of it in their business, I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy Weiss's Cold Calling for Women.

                          the best cold calling book out there. Really changed how I view about cold calling. I hated it before. Was truly stuck and terrorized by the phone. Very easy to read.

                          5 out of 5 stars A must read if you set sales appointments over the phone........2006-12-23

                          As a sales professional with over 20 years of sales experience I've read many books on various sales issues I can say this is one of the best and most useful. I'm always looking for fresh ideas and Keith Rosen has really done a fantastic job in covering all the aspects of cold calling. Compared to all of the other books on cold calling this is the best I've read.

                          Keith's approach to the call and the to the process itself are completely professional and teaches you how to be respectful to the person on the other end of the phone. If you follow the techniques that Keith outlines you will have better success in securing more quality appointments with more prospects.

                            "Federal Jobs in Law Enforcement" is another example of an ancient career book that should be taken off the shelf. Entry requirements, application procedures, training programs, and even the agencies have changed dramatically since this book was published in 1992. A much better choice is "Guide to Careers in Federal Law Enforcement," by Thomas H. Ackerman, which is by far the best book ever written on federal law enforcement careers. A good resource for history of the agencies is "Handbook of Federal Police and Investigative Agencies," by Donald A. Torres.

                            1 out of 5 stars Good for history buffs, but not for job hunters!.......1999-08-23

                            I found this book to be of almost no value as a resource for finding a federal law enforcement job. It's fine as a history book, but not as a job search resource because almost all of the information has been out of date for years. Many of the jobs listed don't exist anymore, and there's no information on how to compete for a federal job. It was probably a good book when it came out eight years ago - if you were looking for a history of only the largest agencies - but not if you were looking for a job.

                            This book is great. It gives the reader a look at all the departments in the US Government that deal with law enforcement. Even angencies that some people didnt know about.

                                4 out of 5 stars Good general overview.......2003-11-11

                                It was very useful for me to see all the agencies listed with their web sites, numbers and typical background/degrees of new hires.This allowed me to narrow my focus. The main weakness for me was not enough info on KSA's, fed resumes and actual interviews. I would recomend this book, but also suggest you pick up another to complement it...

                                3 out of 5 stars CORRECTION.......1999-12-08

                                MAKE A NOTE OF THIS, EVERYONE! This book has incorrectly listed the job hotline for the Environmental Protection Agency. They listed the number as #202.260.5055, but the correct listing is #202.418.4320. PLEASE pass the word. Thanks!

                                5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the US resident jobseakers.......1998-11-18

                                I have read this book and it is excellent. Whatit is light on are recent policy changes, hot openings areas and good definitin of residency exeption, the onsite contractor opportunities and the educational/industrial partnership availablities. It is heartwarming to know even in this harsh erra of trial by fire downsizing in the federal arena, there are still 38000 great jobs in NSA, 5100 PTO positions and 52000 in the Defense Investigative Service. So many openings in high end administrative, tech savy,or secure positions with so few willing and able candidates obsessed with private industry.Too bad there entrance requirements for most mean you'd have to be a fresh college grad, PhD (at 57k and secure US resident) or not have a single mark on your police or financial record. Kinda tight requirements in national security regions these days.
