This is a complete book regarding oral surger

I think that this boog y very good, it's easy to understand, and very clear and gives information very important and useful for the clinician.

The previous edition (2nd) was recommended in "A Basic List of Recommended Books and Journals for Support of Clinical Dentistry in a Nondental Library" in Bulletin Of the Medical Library Association, July 1997.

Inside out takes a fresh approach to presenting managerial and self development thinking. Inside out is laid out in short chapters that are made of a short story or parable and then a section called 'Discovery Notes'. The 'Discovery Notes' sections examine the underlying messages that can be found in these stories. Using stories or parables is not new, but using children's stories for the parables is.

Inside Out explores the following topics:
oAssume nothing - question your assumptions and expectations
oChoosing a path - Will you take the road less traveled, the easy path or the path of charlatans
oBreaking the shackles of fear - who we've become vs. who we want to be
oExecuting at the speed of thought - navigating between the known and unknown
oWhen opportunity knocks - find the hidden talents of you team members
oConsistent-is-my-name - Are you open to change and growth
oHow me was changed to we - the power of teams
oMoral Dilemmas - will your values hold up under pressure
oThe ABCs of a Strong Organization - leadership, organization and team building
oCome Monday Morning - reaching for the next step

Inside Out is a quick read and thought provoking read.

A quick read that leaves a lasting impression. Inside Out is a book that will be re-read and referenced over and over as corporations, teams and individuals hone their story. By using stories we all have heard and/or read as children, Radio and Johnson tie in the business/personal theory (take-away) that leads one on a new path to skills such as leadership, team building and empowerment! Every one of us has a story to tell, read Inside Out and make your story one that leaves a legacy!

Folk and fairy tales have survived the ages because they reflect basic truths about our world and/or our humanity. We understand that this is a good way for children to learn the lessons that we want them to. This book focuses on how those truths we learned through these tales can be applied in the business setting too. We sometimes forget that businesses are created and populated by people. This book is an enjoyable read and I now look at people who are not fully functioning in their jobs and wonder if, like Rudolph, they are simply in the wrong job and would shine if anyone realized that there was great value to having a red nose.I

The first half of this book (where Orfield talks about the various categories of suburbs and how they are adversely affected by sprawl) is brilliant. Orfield explains that not just core cities are hurt by sprawl. Older and more racially diverse suburbs are hurt because they lose their most affluent residents to newer suburbs, thus causing them to go into the same death spiral of decline and decay as the core cities nearby. Newer "bedroom community" suburbs are hurt because they get hit with all the infastructure demands caused by population growth (e.g. roads, sewers) but don't have enough commerce to finance these improvements. Orfield adds that although some "edge city" suburbs (i.e. those with a lot of commerce) appear to be big winners from sprawl, those suburbs (a) are only a tiny minority of American suburbs and (b) suffer from traffic congestion because all those jobs mean drivers clogging their roads and making life miserable for these suburbs' permanent residents. And Orfield doesn't just spin out theories -- he publishes numerous maps showing the decline not just of older suburbs, but even of some newer ones.

The second half of the book (which focuses on solutions) is worthy but far less interesting -- the sort of material that is probably tremendously helpful if you want an introduction to possible reforms, but which is less interesting if you are already familiar with these issues.

Myron Orfield has done it again. He has taken a very complex issue like urban sprawl and the social separation it causes and has put a fourth leg on the stool - Politics! He rightly explains that those who feel powerless in the development circus occurring all around them in communities throughout America can have a powerful voice for change. All we have to do is cooperate and communicate with one another on a regional level. Sounds Pollyannish, but Orfield has seen these changes in his career as a state legislator in Minnesota. If the Soccer Mom's start talking to the Bohemians in the coffee houses, they will see that neither of them are totally happy with their quality of life. The votes of these folks, if combined around issues of mutual interest (open space, farmland protection, urban reinvestment, less traffic congstion) could easily sway elections from state legislatures to the White House. This is an important book for anyone who cares about the future of America's cities and suburbs

This book presents difficult topic simply and concisely. The illustrations are plentiful and extremely helpful, together with the clinical applications they make this book a must-read book for every resident prior to taking their Board examinations.

This book offers valuable information for all medical personnel in the field of Ultrasound. General sonographers will appreciate the information on abdominal, gyn & small parts doppler applications. Easy to comprehend....a must have for all ultrasound departments. The beginner or the experienced sonographer will find this book very useful.

Myron and Shirlet Marty have given us a book that tells the story of the Taliesin Fellowship through the words of its members who have remained in what the Martys describe as "intentional community." Many of these apprentices knew and had worked with Wright before his death in 1959, most of the rest were members during the 26 years that Mrs. Wright directed the Fellowship until her death. Students of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture since that time give a hint of the future for Taliesin. The Martys interviewed these apprentices and arranged excerpts in what becomes an excellent description of life at Taliesin and the Fellowship experience from their point of view. What is needed now is a second volume, which Professor Marty has said he will consider. This would include interviews with apprentices who chose to leave Taliesin after various periods of time and for various reasons, including the feeling that Mrs. Wrights agenda varied considerably from that of Mr. Wright.

FLW's Taliesin Fellowship is a fascinating study of how an organization evolves as the people in it prosper, then age and die. The community is particularly significant because of Wright's architectural legacy, but there is so much more than the architecture involved. The stories that Fellowship members tell about the Wrights and their lives in the Taliesin community are truly compelling. If you're interested in communal societies, business development, and the creative process leading to many of Frank Lloyd Wright's greatest works, this book is essential.

When I first found this book, I visited Amazon to look for reviews and recommendations. Finding none, I thought that I would offer my thoughts. I like O'Connor's approach. He does not wade through conflicting scholarly theories or get bogged down analyzing obscure English public records searching from traces of Shakespeare. He makes use of what we know from the spare records of Shakespeare's life; and he extrapolates from his own insights into the plays and his knowledge of the plays in their historical context. O'Connor also makes use of a varied and extensive bibliography.

O'Connor puts the plays and the life of Shakespeare in the context of their time, and Shakespeare emerges as an astute, talented, subtle, and versatile man in a vibrant and turbulent time. We see Shakespeare as a contemporary Elizabethan who had his finger on the pulse of society but who was smart enough to keep his fingers out of the pie. O'Connor shows how Shakespeare also used theater as an outlet to express personal struggles and discord. O'Connor's use of excerpts from the plays and sonnets illustrates this excellently.

One of the drawbacks of the book is that O'Connor's tone is of an insider not only of the theatrical world but also of Shakespeare's world. I got the sense that I am supposed to understand all of the obscure references and the oblique tongue-in-cheek quips. On a few occasions in the book when I got the reference, I could not tell if O'Connor was making a mistake or making a joke. He refers to a novelized interpretation of Shakespeare's love life by Anthony Burgess as "Brighter than the Sun," but the actual title is "Nothing Like the Sun." It was difficult to tell if O'Connor was in error or if he was poking fun at the brilliant, stylized, and occasionally pedantic writing of Burgess. O'Connor also suggests that in "King Lear," it was not Lear who confused his Fool with Cordelia at the end of the play ("And my poor fool is hanged"), but rather that the tired playwright mixed-up the two characters because they were played by the same actor.

Another drawback is the general style of writing. O'Connor's sentences are often very long and complex. I found myself rereading sentences more than twice in order to get his point. This drawback is minor and has much to do with the British style of punctuation, but it is also obvious.

O'Connor presents assumptions about Shakespeare's family relationships that I can accept, in particular the relationships with his mother, father, wife, and son. These assumptions are based on the scant historical records, commentary by writers and actors, and excerpts from the plays and sonnets. O'Connor also writes that despite the opinion that Shakespeare did not reveal his personal beliefs in his plays, we really can know Shakespeare through his writings. There are speeches and characters that exactly fit their places in the plays, and yet somehow they also transcend the context of the play and speak to us. Through these passages we know the personal musings of Shakespeare. Perhaps that is the most important thing of all, and that is a notion that definitely can be taken from O'Connor's book.

The late Myron Matlaw was one of the foremost historians of the American stage, with a particular predilection for those amazing, phenomenal successes which criss-crossed the country in touring productions, bringing crowds back season after season with the devotion of theatergoers who imagine that a visit to New YOrk is incomplete without Cats. The plays in this volume include many such smash hits of the 19th century: Anna Cora MOwatt's FASHION (1845), a satirical condemnation of American nouveaux riches eagerly aping continental savoir-fair; Dion Boucicoult's THE OCTOROON (1859), the tale of a forbidden love between a beautiful octoroon slave and the white man who adores her but cannot marry her; Joseph Jefferson's RIP VAN WINKLE (1865), a re-telling of the Washington Irving story which Irving would hardly have recognized, but a glorious vehicle for a character actor; the play made Jefferson famous and kept him rich, as his audiences returned year after year to see him slyly rationalize each drink he takes after he has sworn it off forever. "I won't count this one," he explains each time, unable to resist the familiar pleasure. This book is a treasure house of pleasures which were once as familiar to their audiences as Andrew Lloyd Webber is to us today.

There are some very clever puzzles in this book, and it is a lot of fun trying to rationalise a seemingly impossible situation. However, some of the puzzles have not an ingenious answer, but an implausible one. It works, but it makes no sense. The best way to back this up is to demonstrate. This is on of the easy puzzles taken from the very start of the book, so giving the answer away is no big deal (but stop reading if you don't want to know it):

One night during the Second World War, an allied bomber was on a mission over Germany. The plane was in perfect condition and everything on it worked properly. When it had reached its target, the pilot ordered the bomb doors opened. They opened. He then ordered the bombs released. They were released. But the bombs did not fall from the plane. Why should this be so?

Some clues are given, and the eventual answer is that the plane was flying upside-down. Now, lateral thinking it might be, but it makes no sense that a plane flying a mission during a war would order its bombs to be released over a target while it was flying upside down. A good puzzle encourages thinking, but anyone who seriously tries to answer that puzzle would discard the given answer as making no sense.

There are still some very clever puzzles to be found here, and the book is worth buying if you want a collection of lateral thinking puzzles, but beware that sometimes Sloane crosses the fine line between ingenious and implausible.

I got this book, along with 3 other Sloane & MacHale lateral thinking puzzle books for Christmas one year. At first it seemed like a sorry excuse for a gift, but as I read this one first, I found that it was a challenging endeavor of the mind. Lateral thinking, it seems, is taking a situation and finding a solution that is not the most obvious, but usually the most logical. That said, this is challenging to say the least. A good book for people who enjoy mind games.

I am a trainer at a teleservices agency. I have found this book to be full of puzzles that engergize my classes and make them think. It contains some really good puzzles that are not far fetched like some of the ones found on the internet. My only complaint is that it is rather short; there are not enough puzzles. If you are looking for a book with a lot of puzzles, pass on this one.

The first one I have to say was very easy, but the rest are fairly challenging. This is a pretty good book, It's really great for road trips and get-togethers of almost any kind. I would recommend this book along with other titles by Paul Sloane for anyone who likes lateral thinking puzzles and some that don't.

Ingeninous Lateral Thinking Puzzles is a puzzle-ing book! It really is ingenious! Even the first warm-up puzzle was really tricky for me. When I find a interesting puzzle that I like, I tell it to my friends and they always get stumped on it.

The book is GREAT! Perfect for road trips, get-togethers or when you're just plain bored. The puzzles are never impossible to figure and almost always make you "Geez! I KNEW THAT"! Pick up Ingenious LTP and everything else by Sloane. Well worth it!

I didn't read anything revealing or terribly funny in this book. I suppose it lends some balance to the dramatic tales -- like COmpany Commander -- and therefore exemplifies the boredom that fills so much of warfare and preparing for warfare.

I would have to say that there are fairly good reasons why it remained unpublished for so many years. It's simply not very interesting.

Don't know when I've laughed as much when reading as I have with "Shorty." Definitely recommended reading for anyone who served in World War II, regardless of branch of Service. Glad you finally put your memories--and mine--in print

In 1946, Myron Sutton wrote down his experiences as a young World War II enlistee in the American Army. This six-food-five GI recorded a detailed, candid, "warts and all" story of life as an army radio man with the 70th Infantry Division out of Camp Adair, Oregon. From infantry and radio training in Alabama to advanced radio at Fort Benning, Georgia, then across the rough Atlantic in winter to combat in Europe, Sutton's memoir was set down during and immediately after the events he experienced. Finally brought into print after fifty years (and 30 other books he's written in the interim), Shorty And The Radio Men is a fascinating, often hilarious story of an ordinary soldier who got caught up in one misadventure after another as he tried to fit his 6 foot, 5 inch frame into equipment, jeeps, bunks, put tents, combat boots, and latrines designed for a five-foot tall army. Shorty And The Radio Men is a unique and highly recommended contribution to the growing body of World War II biographies and memoirs.

The gist of this book is articles from New York's "City Journal" showing how welfare programs treat the poor as victims and assume that they'll stay that way - somewhat fatalistic thinking. Howard Husock's "How the Agency Saved My Father" and Brian Anderson's "How Catholic Charities Lost Its Soul" show the positives and negatives of action by religious organizations, and the danger of governmental strings. These and other analyses show good ointentions which have gone awry.

This collection of essays from the magazine "City Journal" examines the many approaches to public charitable works taken in the US over the last 150 years, and shows which ones were effective in helping the needy.

More importantly, it explains why the good ones worked and why the bad ones didn't -- and don't, even today.

The insights here are devastating to anyone who believes we need to give more money to existing welfare and charity programs, and profoundly empowering to anyone interested in finding approaches that will actually work, because they actually have.

(I am not an historian, so I am trusting that the authors are not flat-out lying. If they are, please write a book debunking them. If they aren't, then we should immediately change our entire approach to public charity in the US.)

"What Makes Charity Work?" is an excellent treatment of the subject of private charity from a libertarian/classic liberal perspective. Opening with compelling stories of private charitable work in the turn of the century northeast United States (mostly New York), the editor draws the reader in and keeps his or her interest all the way through the more intellectual and theoretical essays. As a Christian missionary and a Libertarian, I heartily recommend this book to those looking for an alternative to the dehumanizing government welfare programs. I would encourage readers as well to act on this information, and help out such private charities either through volunteerism or through financial donations, or both!
