Should be a required text in every economics department.......2005-07-02

As any economics student knows, economic methodology and the philosophy of economic science have been entirely removed from the modern economics cirriculum, which I think is an intellectual crime of epic proportions. If you are an economics student who also happens to have a brain, you will at some point find yourself asking "what can these models with their blatantly implausible assumptions really tell us about reality, anyway?" This book helps you to think about the methods and limitations of modern economics, and provides you with an excellent introduction to the methodological debates in the field (not that any of your professors will ever admit that there *are* any debates!). The text assumes no philosophical background whatsoever, but after a few chapters you're well into it, getting into the methodological prescriptions of Friedman, Mises, etc.

This book should be the text of a required course in every economics program.

Book Description

With downsizing, layoffs, and other retrenchment measures afflicting both public and private sectors, outplacement consulting has grown from a minor specialty among human resources (HR) firms and practitioners into an important industry. Meyer and Shadle explore changes that have occurred in the outplacement process--as well as its practice--to provide a clearer understanding of what it is and what it offers organizations and their employees. Clearly written and designed to assist management and their HR professionals, the book provides not only an insight into the meaning of job loss and its devastating impact on workers and the organization, but also a way to help lessen the blow to both. Among the topics explored here are the seven dimensions of the new careerism, an inclusive definition of outplacement, a complete and objective review and analysis of the elements of the outplacement and career transition process, and a description of the different kinds of assessment typically offered as part of outplacement. It also provides an inside look into this multimillion-dollar industry, its organization and markets, trends, and the industry's burgeoning technology. The authors answer such questions as: Why does one need outplacement counseling? Why do corporations pay for it and how much? How do outplacement firms contact and contract with corporations? How can the outplacement firm provide consultation to downsizing corporations? This book is a well-researched practical resource for all organizations and their employees in this economically difficult decade.

"One of the big fears about the Internet," says Moira Anderson Allen in Writing.com, "has been that it would (or will) replace traditional markets for writers." Instead, it seems not only to have increased the number of markets for writers, but also to have made the process of writing for traditional markets easier. Research can be conducted from the privacy of your own home (and the information found, though at times questionable, is more likely to be up-to-date). Potential markets can be checked out online. You can schmooze with other writers without buying a cup of burnt coffee at your nearest bookstore café. In short, the Internet saves writers time and money. Allen divides her book into three sections: researching online (including evaluating and using search engines), communicating online, and publishing online. Her appendixes include 500 "excellent" writing sites.

Can you query via e-mail? How about conduct an interview? Are online critique groups and classes worthwhile? The answer to all these questions is a qualified "yes." Allen's most resounding "yes" is to the writer who asks whether it's necessary to have a Web site. Why? To post clips, "to establish your expertise and/or educate readers," to promote your books, and to educate writers. Don't be daunted; Allen tells you what a writer's Web site should and shouldn't include (leave out the snapshot of Fido), as well as how to construct and then promote a Web site. Yes, publishing online has resulted in some significant losses of rights for writers, which are clearly discussed in Allen's book. But it can also bring you worldwide exposure, even if you live in the middle of nowhere. Just be sure your chosen nowhere is supported by a decent ISP. --Jane Steinberg

Thought about writing for the Internet?.......2003-10-04

Have you ever thought about writing for the Internet and were afraid to ask how to go about it? Fret no longer, Moira Anderson Allen has probably written the bible pertaining to writing and the Internet.

Her comprehensive tome entitled Writing.Com: Creative Internet Strategies To Advance Your Writing Career-Revised Edition is an update of a previous book published in 1998. As she mentions in her introduction, "the purpose of the second edition is to take a fresh look at the Internet and answer the question, "What does it mean to writers today?"

A non- fiction book pertaining to a particular subject matter is worth reading, provided it painlessly imparts a great deal of information. This is exactly what Allen has managed to achieve in covering just about all you need to know and more about Internet publishing.

In addition, the book comes with an electronic guide to online resources for writers. This guide offers nearly two thousand listings that are available as a downloadable PDF file. A password and URL site are provided.

Extremely well organized, complete with an alphabetical list of online resources and index, the book divides itself into eighteen chapters and two appendices. The author explores where writers and the internet are today, mechanics of the Internet, online research, writing communities, finding markets online, email queries and submissions, screenwriting and the Internet, electronic rights protection, piracy, scams, promoting your book, web sites, e-zines and newsletters, various kinds of publishing, e-books, and the future. At the end of every chapter, Allen provides Internet resources, where you can further your knowledge on the various topics.

What is interesting about Allen's writing is she never strays from what she is trying to explain. She neatly sums all the queries a novice or a veteran would like to know about Internet publishing. Moreover, Allen's writing is crisp and clear, and she avoids using sophisticated technical terms that would turn off many a reader.

For example, a glance at the chapter dealing with networking online and joining the writing community, the reader is immediately informed that many of the people who contribute to these forms are top-name authors and editors. The reader is then given a list and explanation of all of the possibilities-newsgroups, forums, chat, blogs, advantages, disadvantages, and twenty tips on effective discussion. There is also within the same section an excellent analysis of critique groups, their advantages and disadvantages. All of this is followed by a list of Internet resources.

Another plus is that you don't have to start at the beginning to enjoy this book. Open any section and you will be intrigued by the abundance of interesting information exposed on the chapter's topic. If you are already familiar with copyright, you can move onto the next section without skipping a beat.

The book represents a welcome contribution to a greater understanding of the many opportunities the Internet presents to authors and writers. A must purchase by Internet publishing beginners as well as the more experienced.

worth a read.......2001-09-18

Definately worth your time if you are a writer trying to make it. The strategies are great and have given me hope about how I can get published. Of course, there isn't much writing practice in this book, so you should go elsewhere if thats what you need.

Every writer needs to get this book.......2001-01-12

Writing.com should be in every writers book bag! It is easy to read and has great- useful information. Everone needs to be savy on the internet- this book tells you how.

Internet for Writers.......2000-10-20

This is an example of a well-targeted book: a treatise on the Internet for writers. It is a book that writers will identify with. Allen describes where to conduct research, where to find markets, all about electronic rights, promoting your book online and much more. While the book is directed to writers, a great deal of the advice, tips and insight will benefit anyone who wishes to know more about the Internet.

For a detailed description of the book's coverage, click on Table of Contents in the left-hand column of this page. The book also has more than 30 pages of valuable resources and an index.

Moira Allen has been a professional writer of both books and articles for more than 20 years.

As a publisher, author of 113 nonfiction books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I recognize the value of targeting your reading audience. Moira Allen is delivering her vital message to writers in a time of exciting change.

Perfect for the net-savvy writer!.......2000-01-26

I'm a computer-savvy fiction writer who has used the Internet extensively in connection with my writing. This book has really hit the spot for me, as I'm just beginning to formulate more comprehensive Internet strategies. I actually know a lot of the detailed stuff in the book, but no one has ever encapsulated my potential choices so well. The book is well laid out, well written, and imbued with the voice of experience. A must-have for writers keen to blossom in the age of the Internet
