I am the editor for this book and I thought it would be helpful to include an overview of the target audience and highlights of the included works in the collection.

This collection is a targetted at leaders in government, industry, or academia who are interested in starting or evaluating a knowledge management program, are currently implementing a knowledge management program, or are simply interested in expanding their understanding of knowledge management.

This book is an invaluable source of perspective on understanding the subtle linkage between driving world class manufacturing and human relations. Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld is clearly one of the pre-eminent scholars in the field of labor relations today and this book demonstrates his ability to diagnose and explain complex scenarios and relationships with ease and clarity.

An artifact capturing the trajectory of etheral spatialization begun by Mies, spontaneously and without apparent precedent over 60 years ago. Krueck's early projects bear testament to the pure potential of the lyrical study of architectural space conducted 50 years ago at the Illinois Institute of Technology under Mies, Speyer, Brenner and later Danforth and Takeuchi. At its best, Krueck's work is resolved to Greek ideals. Even Krueck's later work prove how fleeting is the vision.

Excellent. This book will be useful to the novice or professional interested in a well-rounded book on fish and seafood. It is a research tool as well as a comprehensible volume of work. The chapter about nutritional values information was exceptional. The book condenses important facts and presents them in a quick reference chart that will prove to be tremendously useful. A must for every kitchen.

Excellent introductory book for people who are interested in molecular biology. It is loaded with very detailed and easy to follow description of current molecular technicques. The book also contains a great deal of information on current theories in molecular biology, which are written even for the layman. I would also recommend this book for high school students who are interested in this field.

Lake of Fire is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. If you are interested in cults, this is the book for you. But it's also funny, sad and warm. I gave this to my daughter to read and she loved it.

Rivoting and suspenseful. Excellent character definitions - makes you really care what happens to the main character.

Although this book is now out of print, it is well worth a search to find this jewel. It is rare to find a book like this on Pakistan, and in a way that is geared towards children. Wonderful!

This 2002 book is up to date with a wealth of information concerning land trusts. Written by a Florida Attorney with 20 years experience, and author of 60 books, this book is thorough and comprehensive. One of the best part of the book is Appendix A which has a page for each of the fifty states as well as Washington, District of Columbia detailing the requirements by state and even court cases dealing with trusts in that state. There is also another Appendix B which has all the forms needed for a trust from deeds, to co-trustee etc. In all there are 27 forms. There is also a bibliography and a list of court cases applying to trusts. And there is the all importance, for easy reference, index at the back of the book. The text part of the book is 124 pages covering set-up, benefits, operations, litigation, financing, buying, selling, taxes Federal and state, security laws, and the pitfalls/drawbacks/concerns of land trusts. This is the most complete text on the subject that is geared to the layman non-attorney. However, the author recommends and I concur, that you should consult with a local, knowledgeable attorney before jumping into a land trust.
