Completely Accurate!!!.......2007-05-26
I just lived through a major work place blow-up with a co-worker whom I've always struggled to get along with. During the blow-up I was repeatedly verbally attacked and accused. I also lost my temper. Being totally devastated, I sought out answers and advice from my pile of waiting to be read professional development books. Maravelas' book was near the top of my pile, so I picked it up. I had purchased it last summer - never opened it up. From the start she was right on with the level of hostility I have witnessed, her description of how we react, and everything else she writes about. I took out my highlighter which I never have done except for course work. My book is now full of yellow highlights.
I felt so strongly about what I had learned, that I mentioned it to our HR rep (who was brought in due to the severity of the blow-up). I also got the courage up to ask my manager to read it. I have never done anything like that before. I felt though, that the more people in the organization who have read the book, the stronger and more effective we can make our organization. This book has definitely help heal some of the wounds caused by the caustic relationship I've had with this co-working. Do I believe that everything will be fine from now on? No, my co-worker has not read the book and would take offense were I to suggest it. That said, I now have a much better understanding of why each of us responded as we did, and I now have some tools I can attempt to use during future interactions.
It's an easy read which I need to reread now that I'm am in a far better frame of mind. Anyone who works in an organization, especially those who are managers or need to work with others should read this book and apply what they read. Don't wait for that major, embarrassing, career hindering blow-up to take place before you do.
Workplace Conflict in Healthcare.......2007-03-19
Conflict in the changing healthcare environment is prevalent. Everyone is stressed and sometimes out of control! This book allowed me as a manager to better understand the core of why workplace conflict exists. I also learned tools to be able to lead my staff past the conflict. It was a real eyeopener! Every maanger should read it!
A Great and Very Useful Resource.......2006-11-06
I bought this book after reading an excerpt in 'O' magazine. What initially interested me was the author's approach to making change. The book is even better than I'd hoped. Anna's approach is simple, personal and very practical. And becuase she illustrates her suggestions with stories from her own experience the book is easy to read.
I also liked that I could start trying her suggestions right away- even before finishing the book. Following just two of her recommendations got me through a number of very sensitive and difficult meetings without giving into my usual knee jerk reactions. To date I've sent copies to 3 colleagues and just can't recommend this book enough.
Karen S. Hoffman-The IDEA Coach.......2006-10-21
Wow.
Was I blessed to "discover" this book!
Synchronicity led me to "How to Reduce Workplace Conflict and Stress". A client needed a workshop to reduce stress and help employees bond. The same day, I "happened" to read the review in "O" Magazine and ordered immediately.
I LOVED it. I KNEW it was no coincidence either. My work focuses on positivity and ideas. On finding the good in situations. Well this book was like hanging out in a place that takes conflict and turns it in to appreciation.
I loved it (did I say that before?). My first order was for me; second order of 9 books was for clients and friends. Next order was for 5 more. And, I will be placing my fourth order this week.
There are stories and terms that can be used in the workplace to help change the energy from negative to thoughtful then hopefully to appreciative.
Please! Read this book to find out what "BIBS" means. I feel I can promise a paradigm shift that is SO transferable! Learn about the "stinky" twins. Understand flooding. Understand what happens to our brain when our heart beat increases to over 100 beats per minute. Understand the three cultures at work (Hostile, Helpless and Hearty Appreciation) and so much more.
This week was the week I used the material for that clients' workshop that led me to buy this book. This group works with prisoners and prisoners being paroled and included as employees a few paroled convicts that work with the prisoners. I always ask what someone finds useful from a workshop I conduct, several shared material I used from Anna's book as impacting them. The BIBS story was a highlight as was the flooding information. These paroled convicts said that it helped explain things from their past and and an understanding and a way they can share with the prisoners they are working with, new ideas to help them create a more positive future.
Thank you Anna!
Again, I thank Anna Maravelas that she took from her heart, soul, and her real life experiences to create this book that can truly change cultures from mindless or negative to hearty and positive appreciation.
Buy it for your boss, your employees, your co-workers, for government leaders, for non profit board members. Basically ANYONE working in groups.
Thank you again, Anna, for a book that is already impacting my world.
Positively,
Karen S. Hoffman-The IDEA Coach

The messages stay with you.......2006-08-07
Anna provides so many messages that simply stay with me in my everyday life. They include avoiding judgement of people and taking time to appreciate the context or the system in which they work. The downward spiral on relationships when I am tempted into hostility and blame. The need to feed the positive loving energy we all have and starve out our negativity, etc etc. This is an inspiring, as well as a very useful, book

Book Description
Patricia Ball is right on target when she points out how empowering it is to realize that we constantly have choices to make about our actions and response to situations. Once we sense this power, understanding that it is private and inviolable, and that it grows as we grow, we release ourselves from the miscommunication and fear of expressing ourselves that intimidate so many. We learn early in Straight Talk Is More Than Words that the power of choice is ours. We can give it up, but it can never be taken from us without our consent.
Ball goes on to show how this intrinsic power is related to communication and persuasion in many forms, from the most obvious - words - to the often more telling nonverbal behavior. She steps us through all the components we use, some knowingly, some reflexively. She takes us to the heart of the matter - the response from our audience, whether that audience is your life partner, a child, 50 potential clients or 10,000 diverse humans who share at least one reason for being in the same place at the same time as you.
With her twenty years as a professional actor in live theater, Ball sees and clearly explains, the spectrum of techniques at our disposal for "setting the stage" for our message - from when and how to use humor; what difference gender makes and when it makes none at all; why power is related to the response you achieve; when brevity and silence are better than words; how to use the space around you as effectively as eye contact, a handshake, a smile and body language. And don't forget listening, a critical skill good talkers often ignore.
Straight Talk Is More Than Words is a book about communication and personal power. We learn how to better communicate in order to achieve understanding. After all, getting ourselves understood is the first step in getting what we want in the more tangible sense - a promotion, a lower price on a dream house, commitment from a store clerk to correct a mistake, a standing ovation from an audience which listened intently, and on and on throughout life.

I had this book, but I sold it on eBay .......2006-07-29
I bought this book last year and I could not believe what a mess the book was. There was no structure, no information, total mess. I tried to figure out what kind of method the author(s) used for coming up with a table of contents, but failed. If you see this on eBay, don't waste your money. There are a lot of copies floating around from India as that seems to be the only place where this is printed now.
A waste of good money.......2005-09-08
I think this author must have been given the title without knowing anything about SAP. It is a total disaster, nothing flows, no information, nothing. Save your money and take a SAP MM consultant out for dinner. You will get more information and you get food too.
Absolutely null !!!.......2004-12-31
I would like to put 0 star in your ranking, but this choice doesn't exist.
I am so disappointed that I could pay about (...) for a such inefficient book!
No informative, only banalities and obvious sentences.
I can't believe how some people could make a many in a such unfair manner.
Don't buy it! Never!
Don't even think about buying this ..........2002-10-24
Very, very bad. Nearly of no use. Please, respect also the comments from other reviewers. I bought it during my SAP Academy, when I was strugling to get some information. But, unfortunately a disaster even for a beginner, not to mention someone who works in SAP consulting business.
Not usefull and outdated.......2002-08-29
I found SAP R/3 Help file is much better than this book. This book is based on older version and has no configuration instruction at all. It only creates confussion especially for new readers. I won't recommend this book to anybody.

Intergrated Marketing Communications - The Holistic Approach.......2000-04-20
This book is very student orientated. It meets its objective as a CIM marketing communications subject book. Have very good details. Only problem for non EU community is that all the examples and references are mostly UK related. Would also advise future readers to have a base understanding on the topics or may need other books to develop understanding for the topics. Many abbreviations for the "subject" not futher elabotated eg: DAGMAR, JICNARS. (JICNARS is a readership survey but not explained what the abbrevation stands for, so with people like me not being in the UK do not know what it stands for! - or the author expects you to know it!) The indepth study of the book covers very detailed areas and even " future gazing" where the author anticipates some of the important factors likely to affect the field of communications.

Customer Reviews:
Clearly a Market Leader!.......2003-01-03
An excellent informative resource, Chris Fill's 'Marketing Communications' is a comprehensive yet easily readable text the content of which is suitable for both marketing student and practitioner. Now in its third edition, it has improved yet again in both structure and content with rearrangement of chapters into a more logical order and with updated content.
The text has detailed content but succeeds in achieving a theoretical authority which is translated into strategic approaches and practical application, and supported with clearly related examples and mini-case studies. The marketing communications mix and related issues are covered with focus on the individual marketing communications elements and on the critical activity of planning and managing their integration. For students of studying for marketing examinations in higher education and professional Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) / American Marketing Association (AMA) level, this is an essential study text.
For business and marketing practioners requiring a marketing communications reference text this is a valuable resource. Those who do or wish to work in specific marketing communications fields such as advertising or promotion with find this a good background springboard to more specialised reading. Overall a highly recommeded text for students, professionals and business people in marketing and/or business. When its time is due, the fourth edition will be equally welcomed. An excellent marketing text and clearly a market leader.

Book Description
LoPucki's provocative critique of Chapter 11 is required reading for everyone who cares about bankruptcy reform. This empirical account of large Chapter 11 cases will trigger intense debate both inside the academy and on the floor of Congress. Confronting LoPucki's controversial thesis-that competition between bankruptcy judges is corrupting them-is the most pressing challenge now facing any defender of the status quo."
-Douglas Baird, University of Chicago Law School
"This book is smart, shocking and funny. This story has everything-professional greed, wrecked companies, and embarrassed judges. Insiders are already buzzing."
-Elizabeth Warren, Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
"LoPucki provides a scathing attack on reorganization practice. Courting Failure recounts how lawyers, managers and judges have transformed Chapter 11. It uses empirical data to explore how the interests of the various participants have combined to create a system markedly different from the one envisioned by Congress. LoPucki not only questions the wisdom of these changes but also the free market ideology that supports much of the general regulation of the corporate sector."
-Robert Rasmussen, University of Chicago Law School
A sobering chronicle of our broken bankruptcy-court system, Courting Failure exposes yet another American institution corrupted by greed, avarice, and the thirst for power.
Lynn LoPucki's eye-opening account of the widespread and systematic decay of America's bankruptcy courts is a blockbuster story that has yet to be reported in the media. LoPucki reveals the profound corruption in the U.S. bankruptcy system and how this breakdown has directly led to the major corporate failures of the last decade, including Enron, MCI, WorldCom, and Global Crossing.
LoPucki, one of the nation's leading experts on bankruptcy law, offers a clear and compelling picture of the destructive power of "forum shopping," in which corporations choose courts that offer the most favorable outcome for bankruptcy litigation. The courts, lured by big money and prestige, streamline their requirements and lower their standards to compete for these lucrative cases. The result has been a series of increasingly shoddy reorganizations of major American corporations, proposed by greedy corporate executives and authorized by case-hungry judges.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent and well written book.......2007-01-09
