On the back of this text it states "1,000,000 can't be wrong!" And after using this text for the past month I can see why, among the myriad of Abnormal Psych. texts available, this one is considered heads above all the others.

The authors write in a way that is accessable to undergraduates and/or graduate students (like myself)who are studying this subject matter for the first time. They go in depth on etiology, assessment, treatment, and prognosis on a myriad of DSM-IV-TR disorders.

Don't let the price scare you away. Text books are like anything else; you get what you pay for. Purchases such as this one are an investment in your career. Don't short-change yourself. Buy the best!

This is a great book. All aspects of travel photos are covered in a very logical manner. Lots of great photos and easy to carry on your trip. It really refined my perspective of this subject.

Author Richard Grimes speaks truth in a way that so very few dare. He touches on the much under-documented Rockefeller Administration during the 70s and 80s in poverty stricken West Virginia. In this feeble age where family dynasties permeate our American landscape, the Rockefeller name is no small player in the game. One could never know just how powerful, and yet decievingly humble the now Senator Jay Rockefeller was during those dusty days of Mountain State politics. Grimes shows what those in West Virginia must have known for decades: Rockefeller played savior to a needy state, but only got as far as his family dollar would allow. Grimes' evenhanded, yet painfully honest writing represents last from a rare breed of 'old school' journalists. The writing in this book is some of the best that this generation has to offer. His work continues to serve as an inspiration to me. Kudos Grimes!!!

"The fundamental ideas that produce real market value and owner wealth today are based on the same 'habits' John D. Rockefeller employed to master the oil industry." So says Verne Harnish, author of Mastering the Rockefeller Habits. During America's early oil-boom, tycoon John D. Rockefeller's disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter methods of the original pioneering speculators. "These important disciplines need to be embraced by all companies that want to prosper in the upcoming decade," avers expert Harnish, founder of Gazelles, Inc. and creator of the Master of Business Dynamics program. His new book offers up the tools and habits Rockefeller implemented with such notable success.

Harnish is a man with a mission: to help entrepreneurs of emerging, fast-growth companies increase the value of their firms. He has spent nearly two decades working with the CEOs and executive teams of fast growth firms.

Says former client Alan Rudy, CEO of Columbus, Ohio's Express Med, "Everyone talks about the 'entrepreneurial glass ceiling' and advises you to 'let go,' 'delegate more,' 'concentrate on alignment,' 'be unique,' 'remain nimble as your company grows,' etc., but no one, until now, ever gives you a practical guide on how to achieve all of that and keep your sanity." Complex problems may have simple solutions. Harnish says the secret is strategically smart decisions coupled with a team closely aligned and accountable to those decisions. Alan Rudy and thousands of other business owners have benefited directly from the simple and practical "tools" outlined in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits.

"Today's execs have little patience for anything except that which they can put to work immediately, " says Harnish. "My program brings solid solutions to the challenges that come with building a company." Harnish's now-famous "Mastering a One Page Strategic Plan" process has been a best-selling article on the web. Now his new book from SelectBooks is a compilation of best practices adapted from some of the best-run firms on the planet. Included is an instructive chapter co-authored by Rich Russakoff revealing winning tactics to get financial backing from banks.

For any entrepreneur who is planning on growing their company, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is the one book to read. Use this as a manual, I have, and it has made all the difference in the world. It's practical, intelligent, and easy to read and follow.

I am delighted with Mastering the Rockefeller Habits-it exceeded my expectations. As one familiar with Verne Harnish's background and experience, I was expecting a no-nonsense, to-the-point, application-oriented book of immediate value to entrepreneurs. This is there in spades. What I found above and beyond this was a plan of action complete with tools applicable for any size organization or function within a company attempting significant change. The non-profit I research and write for is tasked with helping product-centered companies transition to services-led businesses. The opportunities and roadblocks that Harnish lays out for the small, fast-growth company are almost identical to the issues and obstacles found in the start-up businesses trying to incubate in large corporate parents. Therefore, the principles and tools found in Mastering the Rockefeller Habits align perfectly with the needs of those organizations trying to create new, fast growth services business inside their corporations, no matter their size. Foundation of both research and experience, easy to read, and immediate application. I am recommending this book to all our constituents.

i thought this was an exellent book, and they expressed theyre opinions in just the right times, they didnt really talk much about the spinnaker, but other than that its great

Although the book was written in '80s, that is why it only cover spinnaker technique and old racing rules. However, it is not felt out of date.

It covers all of the topics of dinghy race. The language is simple and all important points are well addressed and clearly explained. The chapters of Tactics and Stratey are particulary wounderful.

It is an essential reading material for dinghy racers.

This book is a useful guide for university students with a special interest in abnormal psychology. It contains many useful references and I found the bibliography very easy to use. The content of the book is easy to absorb, clearly written, if a bit perfunctuary in detail. A useful book to have as a back up to a main text, but not sufficiant on it's own.
Neale is a competent writer and his books are used by most universities with a course in abnormal psychology, but this is not one of the best. Better is his co-ordinated effort with Davison called simply Abnormal psychology.
Worth a read, some parts are extremely interesting and thought provoking.
