No Answer Key.......2005-06-02

I purchased this book to help me with a new editing job. I took the plastic wrap off of it and started reading. Nowhere on the cover does it say you need the instructor's manual for the answers. It says it in the beginning of the book.

I contacted the publiher to see if where i could purchase the instructors manual and they insisted it was only available to schools. The book is totally useless to me since i need a way to check my answers and brush up on my skills.

I returned the book and will try not to purchase from this publisher in the future. I have since purchased a workbook with an answer key.

Planning a Foodservice from Scratch.......2000-05-25

Kazarian has written the classic text for designing any type of foodservice establishment. Examples of different types of foodservice production areas are included. Does not go into detail on purchasing equipment. I have used it to plan foodservices and as a textbook.

Spirituality at work? Isn't that the oxymoron to end all oxymorons? Not according to Lewis Richmond, a veteran corporate executive and former Zen Buddhist priest who convincingly disputes the phrase's inherent contradictions in Work as a Spiritual Practice. "Even people who are comfortable with the notion of spiritual practice," he concedes, "are skeptical when I say that it can be done not just at home or at a retreat center but in the workplace." Nonetheless, he maintains, "this book is based on the premise that it can be done, and the circumstances and challenges of our work life can be transformed into opportunities for inner growth." After explaining how common mental and emotional experiences can be parceled into four distinct categories (conflict, inspiration, accomplishment, and stagnation), he effectively shows how Buddhist principles might be employed to mitigate related problems and enhance associated opportunities. The bulk of this satisfying book is divided into sections that correspond to these categories, with each exploring appropriate practices followed by real-life examples that illustrate their power and applicability. Recommended. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

A guide to developing and maintaining a spiritual life on the job, drawn from the teachings and practices of Buddhist tradition.

Most people associate Buddhism with developing calmness, kindness, and compassion through meditation. Lewis Richmond's Work as a Spiritual Practice shows us another aspect of Buddhism: the active, engaged side that allows us to find creativity, inspiration, and accomplishment in our work lives. With over forty spiritual exercises that can be practiced in the middle of a busy workday, Work as a Spiritual Practice is based on the principle that "regardless of your rank and title at work, you are always the chief executive of your inner life."

Drawn from the author's diverse professional experience--as a Buddhist meditation teacher, business executive, musician, and high-tech entrepreneur-- Work as a Spiritual Practice addresses a wide variety of on-the-job problems. Here you'll learn how to:

perform spiritual practices while commuting to and from work
meditate while sitting, walking, or standing--a minute at a time
understand ambition, money, and power from a spiritual perspective

Work as a Spiritual Practice is an essential guide for anyone who wants to bring his or her spiritual life and work life together.

clear understanding.......2007-09-04

I read this book.What I like about it is that he gives real life stories of people.He tells them in a way to help the reader out .It is worthwhile for anyone to read and then apply to their own work lives.

Clarifying.......2005-06-24

This is an excellent book for those seeking to integrate spirituality into their workplace. It covers many common concerns and issues, but also leaves enough flexibility for the reader to adapt the content to their own situation. A good and easy read--I read it during breaks at work!

Emminently Practical.......2002-02-16

Let's face it, if you study Buddhism you probably have at least a dozen solid theoretical texts lining your bookshelves. And if there is any area in which those texts seem to be weak, it is in their approach to applying Buddhist tenets to the modern workplace. At first glance, Western capitalism and Eastern spirituality appear distinctly at oods. How is it possible to follow Buddha's Right Livelihood tenet and still succeed in the cutthroat workplace?

Mr. Richmond has been there and done that. He brings practical advice that is soundly grounded in Buddhist thought and tradition. He doesn't try to pretend that it is realistic to construct an altar at your desk, but provides reasonable ways to extend your spirituality to the workplace. Above all else, this book is a practical set of guidelines for maintaining your spirituality in America's competitive workplace. I've only just read it, but it has helped me immensely to find ways to make my worklife simply an extension of the rest of my life.

USEFUL EVERY DAY!.......1999-07-22

You will find something that applies to whatever kind of work day you are having. I read it as I struggled with a decision to quit or not quit; to compromise my personal beliefs or keep my job. I already knew the answers, but this book was comfortingly reassuring and supportive of the path I knew was correct for me. Now when I go back to reread, and reread sections, I always find something that helps me survive whatever work situation with which I'm dealing.

All employees and managers should read this book!.......1999-06-03

This is an excellent book. It was very easy to read, and provided lots of practical advice on all sorts of work problems ranging from stress to stagnation. It accepts the premise that emotions (such as anger) do happen at work, and provides advice on how to diffuse the negative aspects of emotions and harness the positive energy. This book was very helpful to me and probably would be helpful for many people.

You Get a Good Return on Your Time and Money from This Book!.......2000-07-23

Nancy Dunnan has taken 300 important and valuable personal finance lessons and made them fun, easy and interesting to read. Although some of these things you know already, it's not a bad idea to be reminded. In other areas, you'll either get new ideas or better ways to implement them.

Here are some of my favorites:

You can save money on international air travel by being an air courier (if you can live with carry-on baggage), and she provides a telephone number to get assignments.

While abroad, use your ATM card to get cash rather than your credit card. The credit card will start charging you interest right away.

To use that ATM card in many countries you need a 4 digit PIN code. Be sure to change to one before you leave home.

On the other hand, buying things abroad with a credit card is a good idea because you get a better exchange rate that way than by converting currency.

Want a beach home? Buy it in January in North America.

There's a service you can contact to find someone to pay your parents' bills when they can no longer do so, and they live far away.

You can save money by letting vines crawl up a trellis rather than your home.

If your bank is taken over by another one, switch your account to a credit union. Fees will be lower, and the rates paid on your savings will be lower.

Shop with 20 friends, and you can probably get extra discounts.

She shows you how to get rid of junk mail.

Be sure to check the register tape at stores that scan items. A 10 percent error rate is not unusual.

If you have student loans, she has lots of information about how to gain advantages in paying them back.

If you are near retirement, she has lots of good data on Social Security and tax issues.

If you take a cruise, be sure to buy any on-board gifts at the end of the trip (big discounts come then).

If you have too much debt, she can point you to those who can help you.

With this book, your money can take you much further. You'll also be proud of yourself for being a more intelligent consumer. So overcome your misconception stalls about how to get the most for your money with this book!

It's small and handy and I refer to it all the time. I even took down some notes in the margin.

This book of short common-sense statements by Nancy Dunnan will keep you on top of money happenings. It's like the money knowledge you lose through the years, brought back to life in a way that isn't preachy or patronizing.

Book Description

By spring 1998, agreement must be reached on the first group of countries to participate in economic and monetary union (EMU). This report looks at this final stage of the transition to monetary union. Written by a team of distinguished European academics, it discusses the best time to set the final conversion rates between EU currencies and the Euro. The authors consider whether the current ERM rule should continue to operate between the announcement and the start of EMU. They also assess when the new exchange rate system (EMS-2) designed to link "ins" and "pre-ins" should start operating. Their analysis and conclusions will continue to influence the conduct of monetary policy long after the 1998 decisions.
