Book Description
This text looks at the dual relationship of the Canadian north as both resource frontier and homeland of many Aboriginal groups. Since the last edition of this text, many changes have occurred, raising the possibility that both the frontier and homeland concepts can become a northern reality. These concepts are coherently presented throughout the book and brought to the fore in the concluding chapter.
Book Description
Integrating key concepts and ideas about public speaking into a clear, step-by-step, transformational method, Power Speaking teaches emerging speakers how to grow the necessary skills and unleash their inner power. Divided into proficiency levels-mastering the basics, making the connection, and polishing the core-this guide allows speakers to conquer public speaking systematically. Readers start with the use of voice and body movements, then move on to learn the use of personal stories, intent listening, and positioning or reframing a topic.
Customer Reviews:
A step-by-step set of rules.......2005-07-04
These excellent business guides are quite specific but general-interest collections will also find them very useful. Achim Nowak's Power Speaking: The Art of the Exceptional Public Speaker doesn't just cover public speaking; it focuses on the best speaking techniques which embody person presence and the finer skills of the presentation. Chapters follow a step-by-step set of rules, from using voice and body movement to personal energy, stories, and developing a compelling topic.
Power Speaking, by Achim Nowak.......2005-01-08
As a trained public speaker, I have read many books on speaking, but this book is having me re-think how I want to present myself in the future. I think I'm a really good speaker so to find new fresh insight in how to be even better is thrilling.
Five stars & two thumbs up for a great book!.......2005-01-01
I highly recommend "Power Speaking: The Art of the Exceptional Public Speaker" to anyone who aspires to be authentically present in any situation, especially infront of an audience.
Nowak has written a thoughtfully organized, clear and helpful book. The many examples given from Nowak's own experiences have made this a concrete and personal book. These characteristics are what have made it so useful, readable and valuable to me.
Exceptional from Within.......2004-12-03
Achim Nowak truly grasps what a Public Speaker looks for in a book of this subject. Instead of revisiting and/or paraphrasing what too many other authors have done before, Nowak invests his readers time effectively by having him/her work with those internal "issues" that are key in the process of becoming a better public speaker.
Each chapter challenges the speaker to engage in activities that often have a theatrical twist to them - which is one of the elements that allows a speaker to be, not only informative, but entertaining and fun to listen to. He focuses on activities that seriously helped me polish my technique. I made it a point to apply 3 of the techniques shared by Nowak - within a week of having finished the book - at a very important Keynote engagement. The results were simply spectacular for my audience, and I walked away with a stronger sense of security about why I do this for a living.
This book is A MUST for anyone who, for any given reason, has to stand in front of any group, for any length of time and communicate an important message. Managers, sales staff, trainers, speakers, CEOs should all read this book.
Customer Reviews:
The Best Restaurant Review Guide! Great St. Louis spots!.......2003-07-02
Zagat always does a great job of pulling together reviewers information on great restaurants... this one is small, but very useful. This is a great guide on where to eat--even locals can find some great new places to try. A few restaurants are missing here, but the information that is here is very reliable. Well worth purchasing!

Book Description
How does working at home change people's activity patterns, social networks, and their living and working spaces? How will it change the way we plan houses and communities in the future? Will telecommuting solve many of society's ills, or create new ghettos?
Gurstein combines a background in planning, sociology of work, and feminist theory with qualitative and quantitative data from ten years of original research, including in-depth interviews and surveys, to understand the socio-spatial impact of home-based work on daily life patterns. She analyzes the experiences of teleworkers including employees, independent contractors, and self-employed entrepreneurs, and presents significant findings regarding the workload, mobility, the distinct differences according to work status and gender, and the tensions in trying to combine work and domestic activities in the same setting. As organizational structures, technology, and family priorities continue to change, the often overlooked phenomenon of teleworkers has important implications on everything from employment policies to community planning and design.

Customer Reviews:
More than just the facts........2006-08-18
Having consumed several books on the topic, this is an easy to read and useful book with good facts, lists, and questions to ask. It is not as detailed or as comprehensive as others available. Appendix A's sample forms, timelines and documents for planning and evaluating the event and Appendix B's lists of Terms and Phrases are very useful. I think it is good for someone who may wish to plan their own event, but not detailed enough for an individual who wants to become a professional in the industry. Event examples they use are from their professional experience and would not be applicable for one planning a private event. The pictures are in black and white and the detail is not clear. A few excellent color pictures would make a real difference.
The best event planning book.......2005-10-28
This is the best event planning book. It covers all aspects of event planning for gala charity balls etc. and special functions. I flicked through other event planning books and they were mostly about small events such as meetings and parties. This book is comprehensive in covering all aspects of big events.
A useful practical book for event organizing.......2005-07-26
This is illustrate the steps to organize a event, in a practical way. In this book, you cannot find the theory but the way.
Pros: easy to read (even for beginners), step by step, straight forward, sufficient explaination, simple cases provided for learning
Cons: Seldom theory, not in-depth, bad paper quality

A Good Basic Book.......2001-01-22
Facilitation Made Easy is a good basic book for the beginning facilitator. It provides step by step instruction on how to set up your workshop. It provides a good overview of listening skills, conflict resolution, how to keep things moving along, managing time and many other useful skills. I used it as a guideline for my first Joint Application Development workshop and got very good reviews on the workshop. I recommend the book to anyone who is responsible for bringing a diverse group of people together for the purpose of getting something accomplished.

Deftly written by certified financial planner and culinary gourmet Meena Cheng, Fortune In Your Cookies: Finding Financial Wisdom In Everyday Eating uses great food dishes as a metaphor for making wise choices and preparations for one's financial future. From investing wisely to protecting oneself against catastrophe to funding your dreams and ensuring an equitable division in the unfortunate case of divorce, Fortune In Your Cookies is a solid and clever presentation of serious money matters in simple terms, easily understood and digested by anyone who enjoys a good meal!
Tasty morsels.......2002-06-13
What a treat it was reading Meena's book. Her simplicity of style, both in recipes and approach to financial planning, is a breath of fresh air in today's complex world of day trading and returns on investement. As our generation matures and is faced with dealing with the death of our parents, we'd find the section on estate planning especially helpful. I marked it for my husband to read!
Great book to send as a gift to your sister, your mother, your dear friend or co-workers.
Abbondanza!.......2002-05-31
'Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death' is a line from 'Auntie Mame.' Good food and good financial planning can help one live life to its fullest. In 'Fortune in Your Cookies,' Meena Cheng combines her expertise in both areas to create an entertaining primer on investments, tax matters, wills, ways to save, and much more, with recipes for delicious dishes. Her use of food metaphors for teaching time-tested principles of money management are quite apt, such as the one about crayfish. Anyone who has tried to make a meal out of crayfish can relate to the notion of how many days out of a year one must work just to pay Uncle Sam. Like the memory of an enjoyable meal with family and friends, the excellent advice in this entertaining book stays with you for a long time.
