I keep this book around all the time, and refer to it as need. Just as the book states, it's for the consumer and very reader friendly.

Anyone working in the logistics and delivery field must read this book and keep it in your library. The book is all-inclusive so you don't need lots of others. This may help justify the high price.

This book was one of the finest pieces of literature on such a complex and important topic.

This 2001 collection of essays from 22 living theologians is a celebration of the 70th birthday of a pastoral human being who is a renowned transcontinental scholar of our times. It is obvious that Fr. O'Collins' deep faith in Jesus Christ has personally touched each writer as they participate in his enthusiastic search for truth. The book is a theological treasure that will find a warm welcome in global circles. While I did not receive any new insights, the work tied together numerous concepts that are fundamental to Christian theology. I would highly recommend this "Festschrift" for Adult Lifelong Learning groups as well as for College courses. For all who engage in "faith seeking understanding," it treats many topics that provide stimulating reflection and discussion. It leaves one immersed in an experience of a lived community of believers. Happy Birthday, Gerry!

Transposed to England, with a few specifically Polish references removed, this is one of Witkacy's easiest and most entertaining plays. Like most of his best work, it's a lunatic parody; unlike some, it parodies only one genre, the "country house" drama of conflicts and secrets within a well-to-do family. Thus much of the dialogue takes the form of debates, with the mother's ghost, over tea and toast, over who her various lovers were and what they and her husband may or may not have done to her. The Geroulds' translation is as fluent as always, and there is a long and very fine introduction. An extra and unexpected bonus in this edition is the inclusion of several of the author's paintings and drawings, quite a few in colour. Like the play (and like most of the rest of Witkacy's work), they are grotesque, downright peculiar, and well worth a look.

The Regents exams are a series of subject-specific proficiency tests that are becoming mandatory for all New York state high school students by the year 2000. Since students will soon need to pass these tests to graduate, these annually updated guides will be of great help. Each book has been reviewed by a panel of 10 New York State high school teachers.

In Creating A Judaism Without Religion: A Postmodern Jewish Possibility, Daniel Breslauer explores the contemporary phenomena of a Jewish identity that is divorced from traditional concepts of "religion" as the sole source of Jewishness. Challenging, articulate, and occasionally iconoclastic chapters include Creative Betrayal: Hasidism, Israeli Writers, and Martin Buber; Jewish Studies, Disciples of the Besht, and Responses to the Holocaust; A Possibility for Deconstruction of Revelation: The case of Eugene B. Borowitz; Visions of the Messiah in Poetry, Theology, and Mysticism; Jewish Culture as Experiments in Variety: Some Reflections on Hayyim Nahman Bialik and Cultural Zionism; Anthropological Betrayal: Bialik and the Jewish Book; Bialik, Agnon, and Ben Yehuda: Hebrew and the Individual's Spiritual Quest; Negotiation as Theology: Reflections on Stories by I.L. Peretz, S.Y. Agnon, and Martin Buber; Considerations of Eisik Ben Yekel of Crakow, Some Stories of I.L. Peretz, and the Meaning of Circumcision; and The Limits of Covenant Theology, Instructive Poems by Ilan Sheinfeld, and the Subversive in Peretz. A welcome and recommended addition to Judaic Studies reading lists and academic reference collections, Creating A Judaism Without Religion is enhanced with an extensive bibliography and an exhaustive index.

From a creative thinking/problem solving standpoint, this is a excellent resource. From a opportunity finding viewpoint, it's quite disappointing, personally speaking. Although the coverage on the aspect of creative thinking is very broad and somewhat deep in many respects, with good, useful strategies/techniques and examples to follow, it does not offer much in terms of opportunity finding approaches for the business reader. For that, you need to buy and read Michel Robert's "Innovation Formula", and/or Edward de Bono's "Opportunities", and/or & Nigel MacLennan "Opportunity Finding." Neverthesless, this book is still worthwhile to be bought/read and kept in your personal library. Reading it is like reading many creative thinking books in one go. The author drew a lot - I mean really a lot - of creativity stuff from other books.

I find this book when I search books about neighborhood watch project. Although there is just nine pages about this issue in this book, I browse the whole book because I feel it is very good. In this eight chapters book, it gives a whole picture about many major aspacts of theories and policies on crime prevention in modern society. In the first part, it introduces the concepts, the theories and policy of crime prevention. In the second part, it introduces crime prevention within the criminal justice system including the police and probation services, and crime prevention beyond the criminal justice system which includes local authorities, the voluntary sector, the informal sector and the private sector. It also introduces partnerships in crime prevention, community safety and the politics of crime prevention. Every chapter has an introduction and summary. It is a good text book and easy to understand. If a person curious like me want to "learn" something about what is going on in criminal prevention theories, policy and prctices since 60's through 90's, it will fullfill you curiosity. For example, I'm interested in the part of neighbourhood watch. In this book (paperback page 142 - 150), it mentions how this project expanded, developed in UK after transplanted from North America. By reading these pages, it's very useful that I find a dozen other authors who have published articles or books on this issue. Then I can find and read more archives.

A woderfully brilliant piece of writing, a text book all universities shuold keep in their libraries!
