Product Description
From leading business thinkers to frontline employees, most everyone agrees: Not only is more and more organizational work becoming project-oriented, but the pressure is on to accomplish projects in less time, with better results, and with fewer resources.

This new reality is making project management one of the most important and frequently requested topics for corporate trainers--and yet one of the most difficult disciplines to teach. In fact, most companies lack the expertise to handle the topic, resulting in expensive out-of-house training.

Enter THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP. Fourth in a much-needed series of "train the trainer" workbooks, it supplies the information and tools needed to design and deliver effective, on-target corporate training sessions on project management.

Packed with lecture notes, examples, problems, worksheets, overheads, and more, this hands-on trainer's manual is perfect for both professional trainers who need a crash course on project management and experienced project managers who need explicit training instruction. ... Read more

Best textbook for a course in autonomy available today
I've recently used this collection in a graduate seminar on individual autonomy and found it invaluable: together with some older articles from *The Inner Citadel* and Al Mele's book, it formed the backbone of the course.I'd also use the book for an undergraduate elective.The introduction is extremely helpful in charting the development of autonomy theory in analytic moral psychology since Frankfurt and Dworkin's essays some 36 years ago.All the essays are new, though some summarize the views developed by their authors over a larger body of work (e.g. Mele and Wolf).The volume includes a number of essays representating more rationalist and proceduralist ends of the spectrum, as well as coherence theories such as Ekstrom's.The essays on autonomy and free agency are all innovative, though I wish the contributors took the kind of autonomy to be analyzed as the freedom/control condition of responsibility for character.The book also includes four essays looking at applications of personal autonomy concepts to debates in political philosophy and bioethics.For more discussions focused on implications for political philosophy, one can turn to the collection by Christman and Anderson, which forms a great companion to James Taylor's volume.

Great collection of new papers
This is a great collection of new papers by some outstanding philosophers. It includes papers by Michael Bratman, Bernard Berofsky, Susan Wolf, Ishtiyaque Haji, Paul Benson, Nomy Arpaly, John Christman, Al Mele, Laura Waddell Ekstrom, Marina A.L. Oshana, R. G. Frey, Tom Beauchamp, Tom May, and Robert Noggle. The book is divided into three sections: Theoretical Approaches to Personal Autonomy, Autonomy, Freedom, and Moral Responsibility, and Expanding Role of Personal Autonomy. (This last section has papers on political philosophy, medical ethics, and the rights of animal and subnormal humans.) It also includes an Introduction by Taylor that covers the development of discussions of autonomy in theory and practice since John Christman's Inner Citadel. I'm still reading, but so far this is looking like it was worth dipping into the stipend for! ... Read more

A must have for every vibration analyst or engineer
I own the set of books (Vibration Analysis, Bearing Analysis and Gear Analysis Handbooks) that Mr. James Taylor has written on the subject of vibration. The Vibration Analysis Handbook particularly is a vital book that every vibration analyst or engineer must use to accurately diagnose vibration problems in rotating machinery. This book is the result of Mr. Taylor's 30 year hands on experience as a vibration analyst. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Taylor on several occasions. I attended all three of his week long seminars and let me tell you Mr. Taylor is the most knowledgeable vibration person I have ever met. This book is made up of 6 chapters and it is very well organized. To make a long story short, buy this book with confidence, it is worth every penny.

As the title of the book, this is a Handbook fo Vibration Analysis.
The Chapter is well orgainzed in gradual knowledge building.

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Product Description
It is commonly believed that the computer-based systems most organizations rely on to support their businesses are not very smart. Many of the business decisions these companies make tend to be hidden in systems that make poor decisions, or don't make them at all. Further, most systems aren't configured to learn from the past and therefore struggle to keep up with the pace of change. While many organizations believe the answer is to implement newer, "intelligent" systems, the fact is that much of today's existing technology has the potential to be "smart enough" to make a big difference to an organization's business.

Product Description

The Situated Organization explores recent research in organizational communication, emphasizing the organization as constructed in and emerging out of communication practices. Working from the tradition of the Montreal School in its approach, it focuses not only on how an organization’s members understand the purposes of the organization through communication, but also on how they realize and recognize the organization itself as they work within it.

The text breaks through with an alternative viewpoint to the currently popular idea of 'organization-as-network,' viewing organization instead as a configuration of agencies, and their fields of practice. It serves as an original, comprehensive, and well-written text, elaborated by case studies that make the theory come to life. The substantial ideas and insights are presented in a deep and meaningful way while remaining comprehensible for student readers.

This text has been developed for students at all levels of study in organizational communication, who need a systematic introduction to conducting empirical field research. It will serve as an invaluable sourcebook in planning and conducting research.

This book is intended to answer five questions and speculate on the sixth.They are;
1) What is really happening to the U.S. economy?
2) How did this recession come about?
3) Who is responsible for this recession?
4) Is the government following the right policies?
5) What can I do to protect my job and/or my company?
6) What is likely to happen next?
And the subtext that runs through the book is that there is a conspiracy among Wall Street bankers to loot the U.S. Treasury (that is where your money is kept).We present the evidence and you make your own decision. ... Read more

An Explanation
This is not a reader's review, it the author's explanation of Why This Book and Why Now?
We hear people asking six basic questions;
1)What is really happening?
2)How did the recession come about?
3)Who is responsible?
4)Is the government following the right policies?
5)What can I do to protect my job and/or my company?
6)What is likely to come next?
This book is intended to answer the first five questions and to speculate on the sixth.The book is short so the reader can get a quick and clear understanding of what is going on, and it is written in easy to read English.
The book is fact based.The numbers are real. It is not based on anyone's theories or ideology.
There is, however, a subtext running through the book and you are invited to examine the evidence and draw your own conclusions.We believe that the U.S. Treasury Department is now under control of one or two Wall Street banks, and it is not being operated for your benefit. That is why we called the book The Great Recession Conspiracy.Read it and make up your own mind.

Factually correct. Almost
This book started out looking really good. It is full of some of the best pictures of BMW 5-series cars I have seen in a single collection.

However, by the time they get onto the E39 cars, things begin to fall apart. The book becomes factually incorrect. Some of the humdingers include:
1) "All E39 cars came equipped with electric seats". Bolox. Not correct. I have driven two German built cars that had manual seat adjustment
2) The gear selector is moved to the right on right hand drive cars to select manual mode. Rubbish. They all move to the left.

It goes on and on...

Also, being published in 1999, it stops at the launch of the M5. There must be newer, better books available on this subject.

Incomplete Story
The book title is incorrect because the story contained within is not complete.There is no mention of the different styles of ventilation control housings underneath the center of the dash panels, in E28 5 series BMW.Illustrations on pages 75, 80 and 96 show different styles E28 vent control and a/c housings, however there is no mention of these differences in any of the text.Appropriate additions should be included in all future editions of an otherwise excellent 5er book.
