This dictionary is fun and gorgeous! Great format: very light and ergonomic having over 500 pages of invaluable information! Clever design. Everyone in computer industry should have it on the desk, read it during lunch break, have it as a contemporary coffee-table book. You will learn something new even if you think you know all about it. It may open your eyes on terms you have used incorrectly. I am webdesigner with years of experience and I have always thought that "hacker" is a negative hero in the Internet jargon, but I was wrong according to Netlingo Dictionary... I believe that it's newest Net dictionary out there.

The Netlingo dictionary gives me an enormous assortment of Internet, computing, telecom, and networking terms for reference. The definitions are written in a laid-back, conversational tone. It's as readable and friendly as you can get in this technical area, but it doesn't get condescending or cutesy. I wind up reading the surrounding terms after I've looked something up. I've recommended it to my parents because any computer user will benefit from having the dictionary as he or she moves up the learning curve. Plus, the chat acronyms, smilies, and assicons are hilarious ;-)

NetLingo has become a wonderful resource for me in understanding what my 'web guys' are talking about. I am somewhat computer saavy, but sometimes get my cookies confused with my bytes. It is nice to finally have a reference beside my 14 year old nephew. I'm getting a copy today for my home office.

This book is essentially free. The book had a sticker on it that directed me to their website for a free sales strategy report. I downloaded the forms on one of my most difficult doctors and sent them in, within 24 hours they sent me a complete sales strategy report, which is a twenty five dollar value. I know of no other book that gives you so much for the money.

Terrific, has a great selling skills section that provides all of the skills and techniques required to sell in today's competitive market. Is more complete than many selling skills manuals I have seen.

New Wave Pharmaceutical Selling has always focused on customer relationship management, ever since the first version of the book was written in 1996. The new revised edition, which was published in October 2002, builds on the customer relationship management approach, but also brings in a whole new 45 page selling skills section. The selling skills section covers all areas of the sales call for GP/Primary Care sales representatives. Clear cut examples of all selling skills are provided, written by pharmaceutical industry sales professionals. The book also points readers in the right direction on where to go to find doctor profile information. It's like having your own pharmaceutical specific selling skills manual.
Purchasers of the book will also receive the added benefit of a free 360 Degree Sales Strategy Report on any doctor, by simply contacting the publisher.
New Wave Pharmaceutical Selling is real world, with real life selling examples.

"Life on this planet, this place called Earth. this spinning sphere of joy and sorrow, of love and violence, of light and dark, is but a reflection of a greater reality" writes author and seeker Vincent Cole. Thus begins one of the most insightful, integral and wisdom-filled books this reviewer has seen in a long time.

The Next Step in Evolution was completed while the author was on a personal retreat in the desert resulting in his most spiritually satisfying experience, ever. The words channeled come from beings who came from God. The words are a simple message for your soul that can encourage, strengthen and enhance your understanding of reality. Mr. Cole writes, "The journey begins by looking inward...to glimpse even a small fraction of God will bring understanding of your own true nature".

The Next Step in Evolution offers more than a glimpse, though. Vincent Cole leads the reader to an understanding of who we are, who we can be, and how. He takes us, for instance, beyond ego to unity with Spirit. He takes us from, "I am a man, woman, democrat, republican etc. to I AM...and the reality of true self and true personality.

Mr. Cole takes us through and past the conflict between our ego-based fears and the power of Spirit, thereby enabling us to heed a new master. The result is totally wonderful, "...to grow into the person God created you to be: a child of light and love". This responsibility gives us strength, wisdom, knowledge and so much more.

The Next Step in Evolution is a doorway to enlightenment. And love, compassion, trust, peace and forgiveness. Vincent Cole has brought us the words of the messengers from God. "And we will always be with you, reminding you of its existence, reminding you there is more to life". Don't miss this one...it can change your life!

You must read this book if you are interested in any type of self-improvement, personal development, or understanding of yourself and others. After reading the first chapter, I was going to buy a highlighter to start highlighting the important sentences in each chapter. I am glad I didn't. The entire book would be highlighted. Every sentence put me deeper and deeper into the understanding of myself and the world around me. I have read several best selling "self-improvement" type books and none came close to the affect this one had on me. This book should be read by everyone. It helped me understand my attitudes towards myself and others and what to do to correct and/or improve on them. I can't say enough about the book, except buy it! You will thank me.

Vincent Cole's book, The Next Step in Evolution, can be read for information or really used as a personal guide when one is going through transitional periods. I found it to be very informative and comforting at times. Not only is it affirming but it is also a great guide to taking the next step and evaluating where one has been. I have given it as a gift to a friend and plan to give several more copies to friends who are at cross roads in life. The old saying of " the teacher appears when the student is ready" is very apt in the case of this book for me. Honestly, I was ready for ho-hum and was very pleasantly surprised and gratified by the level of the concepts, explanations and writing style. It is a wonderful addition to our library on understanding the human condition ! Bravo to the author !

This is a fine reference! It asks the hard questions, and the workbook exercises are designed to help everyone over the tough answers. Readable, practical, most helpful.

"Don't merge without it!"

This book is invaluable when your nonprofit is going through any form of strategic restructuing, up to and including mergers. As someone who has participated in nonprofit merger negotiations--both as a consultant and a board member representing a nonprofit--I believe this book can make the difference between success and failure.

Not only does David La Piana talk the talk in this book, he has also walked the walk. As an Executive Director of a nonprofit for many years--and having successfully led that organization through several mergers--La Piana understands the realities facing nonprofit managers and board members. His approach to strategic restructuring is pragmatic, and has enabled his consulting firm to become THE experts on nonprofit mergers in the country.

Even if you're just thinking about restructuring your nonprofit, buy this book!! You will save your nonprofit time, money, and energy, as well as protect your own sanity during the process.

I wrote this book because there was no other resource available to nonprofit leaders that provided a thorough, easily understandable road map to negotiating and executing a merger. As both an executive and a consultant I have been involved with more than 60 nonprofit mergers and have learned what works and what does not in these difficult, emotional undertakings. This workbook provides all the tools you need: decision trees, worksheets, and special tips, to make your merger work. Check it out!

I was told on Friday that on Monday I would be a district manager. Wow, what a shocker, and no corporate training program available for at least three months down the road. This book gave me all the in's and out's that I eventually learned as I grew into the job. A terrific book for newly promoted district managers.

A great book for new district managers, provides all of the skills that they require to get up to speed and running. Provides everything they need to know to make the transition from sales rep to district manager, during that tough first year.

This is the only pharmaceutical district management book in the United States. The book is designed for all district managers with two or less years of experience, however it provides excellent information for even the most seasoned district managers. The transition from representative to manager and the definition of management are completely covered. The managemet skills of planning, organizing, leading and contolling, are civered in depth. Managers are walked through all skill areas required to be successful in pharmaceutical sales management. Each of the eleven chapters has its own set of learning objectives, review questions and answers. Checklists, forms and numerous exercises are included in the eleven chapter text. This book is an economical and effective way to support existing district manager training programs, and it is precisely for this reason that many pharmaceutical companies have purchased it for all of their district managers.

This book showed me how to simply turn my negative thoughts into positive thoughts. I have read many books on the subject of positive thinking and books of healing. Mr Peale focused on the Love of our God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I have referred to this book so often that it has literally fallen apart at its seams. I will get another copy as I really do believe in what Mr. Peale is saying to be the complete truth. This book is a must read for anyone suffering from anything in life, so that means everyone should read this excellent book. I am almost fifty years old and I have encountered some great problems in life and this book shows me how to face them. Mr Peale refers to Biblical passages throughout the book all of which are authentic, for I have checked. This book is certainly one of the best pieces of self-help literature that one could be fortunate to find. Read it, you'll be glad you did. Patty Harman

I've read many self-help books, as well as various books which include imaging for goal setting, etc. This was written by someone who knows what he is talking about, has had many years of experience with imaging. His belief in what he is writting comes accross very intensely.

This book takes positive thinking to a new level. A picture is worth a thousand words. So results are fast track. This man (Norman Vincent Peale) would have ruled the talk show circuit if that was his desire, but his pleasures had more depth than the tabloid mentality. Bravo on one of the greatest books ever written

_Practice in Christianity_ is one of Kierkegaard's more underrated books, and should not be overlooked. I will summarize his concepts as best I can: In this book Kierkegaard encourages a rigorous and "militant" practice of Christianity. By "militant" he does not mean violence in the physical sense, obviously. What he means is a determination to constantly find better ways to understand God and Christ, even though every question that gets answered seems to spawn more questions. Rigorous Christianity is a continuous chasing after that which perpetually eludes us. Even though we may never reach a true catharsis in our understanding, the process of continually seeking understanding is still beneficial to the individual. It helps to strenthen the uniqueness of our individuality, and helps to set us apart from society in a way that preserves the "heterogeneity" of society. Kierkegaard stresses the importance of maintaining heterogeneity within society because this is essential in the creation of individual personalities, and is an essential ingredient to conscious life in general. Kierkegaard states it thus: "woe to the Christian Church when it will have been victorious in this world, for then it is not the Church which has been victorious but the world. Then the heterogeneity between Christianity and the world has vanished, and Christiantiy has lost" (p. 223). It is important that society does not ever reach a consensus on what to believe in, because then we will all rest on our laurels and abandon the continual, rigorous striving that is essential in enhancing our individualist personalities. The loss of individualism is synonymous with the end of conscious life and self-awareness as we know it. There must always be individuals who stand out as beacons of virtue, if for no other reason than to infuse other people with life by making them feel inadequate and subjugated. Rigorous, militant Christians must always turn their back on the world and strive for something better, and indoing so they help to blaze a trail into higher realms of understanding, dragging the reluctant congregation behind them.

If these concepts sound interesting to you, I highly recommend this volume. Die hard atheists will probably view this book as a fruitless discussion over a moot point. But people who consider themselves Christian, and want to set themselves apart from other lackadaisical, so-called Christians, could benefit greatly by reading this book. This is not a book for people who show up to church just to show up and then fall asleep in the pew - it is for people who want to reach a higher standard of rigorous practice in religion.

This book is somewhat hard to review. To me its sole purpose is to get you away from rationalizing about God and to develope an uncompromising faith in the God of Christianity. The book is revelant even to our times when nominal Christianity runs rampant and doctrinal beliefs akin to the Health and Wealth message gain acceptance from the naive masses. I guess in the end this book made me think about what i do believe about God and Jesus...something some of us are afraid to do candidly because of what we might find.

To describe Kierkegaard is, to say the very least, difficult! Not that his style of writing is boring or even overly difficult. Not at all! His style is poetic, warm, and loving. Yet all the while, he makes you feel uncomfortable, leads you to questioning your faith, and often makes one angry! However, the thing that I admire most about the author and the book "Practice in Christianity", is how he has led me to recklessly look inside myself, so that I can see the the truth about who I am! In short, no other author has ever made me just "think", the way that SK has. I have read and heard much of modern theology. For me, this "modern theology" only scratches the surface of these important thoughts. SK will take your mind and heart, to spiritual depths that are thus far, undiscovered.

It is very rare in today's world that one can sit down and, in a matter of minutes, be taken to a place of inner Peace.

Practicing Enlightenment, by Mary Vincent Hunt, does that for the reader. Each sentence can be pondered and savored as a rich morsel of "spiritual chocolate". It is a true treasure, yet to be discovered by the world.

In one of the chapters of Practicing Enlightnement, Mary Hunt asks someone in the midst of a crisis, "are you all right now?" It is one thing to always be seeking some spiritual alternate life - hoping to click into just the right other-worldly formula that will fix up all my problems and crises...but what about this moment right here and now?

And that is what I like so much about this book. It is simple, yet has layers of insight and meaning that spin me around face to face with the very simplicity and depth of aliveness I am experiencing here and now......as is. So a tendency to think about enlightenment as an ethereal state (problem free of course) to attain somewhere in a future time-frame, shifts. As she writes in the frontispiece for the book: "The miracles of life are right here. They are right here. Only they are just bread and butter." (amen....)

Practicing Enlightenment is also a most practical book about meditation itself. It is both highly relevant for those who have been meditating for years and years, or for those just beginning a practice. In a sense, the author de-mystifies meditation - talking about the natural faculty of learning to become aware of what I already am once I realize I am not this thought or that other thought....

I highly recommend this book.......

I have just read Mary Vincent Hunt's PRACTICING ENLIGHTENMENT and I am brimming with compliments for this very practical and inspiring book. I've nodded here and there in recognition and shed a few tears in awe. I may keep this book next to my meditation chair for the rest of my life. I'm buying it for longtime spiritual seekers and those new to the journey.

Having used this book for my Virology class at Princeton (taught by Lynn W. Enquist), it was probably the best accompanying text to this sort of introductory survey virology course. The book can be read through, skipped around or used as a reference - it shines in all three uses. A great categorization of viruses, explanation of all the myriad replication methods they employ, the book is more than an intro text - the references at the end of each chapter point you toward very very good sources for further research. Highly recommended!!

Watson & Crick take a backseat to the finest virology text in the history of science. The 20th Century has seen no scientist/editor like Jane Flint. Her incisive, detailed investigations into the genesis of Adenovirus study will likely not be equalled in the next millenium.

Newcomers will be happy to know that this book is highly readable and I found that with a glass of Cognac and a cigarette after dinner created just the atmosphere needed to further a keen interest in Influenza virus, HIV. and the immense body of work that has gone into peeling back the layers of the actions of these killers and their close relations.

Field's Virology completely misses the boat the Jane Flint sails, DiCaprio-like into the Atlantic. We all toast her and her comrades in this undertaking . FIVE STARS!

This textbook of virology provides a significant background of many kinds of virus that we now know much about. A few textbooks in virology available in the market such as Field's Virology or Fundamental Virology are often too complicated for a beginner and they are also quite expensive for a student. This book comes out as an excellent supplement that is ideal for both undergradaute and graduate courses. Written by very well known experts, you can be assured that you will get a very accurate concept in this book. For example, Jane Flint is an expert in Adenovirus and Robert Krug is a well-known pioneer in influenza and many more.... All of the writers do the great job exploring their expertise that is evident in this book...Try it and you will see.

This was a great book. A friend of mine recommended this book and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed The Rocking Chair. I thought the premise and the story line were wonderful. I really like the way the author would switch back and forth between past and present. At first I thought it might get confusing but it didn't at all, it was very easy to follow. This book is a fast read which I really liked because I didn't want to put it down, nor did I want the story to end.It you are looking for a real sweet love story this is the book.Definitely purchase this book, you won't be sorry. Can't wait to see what Vincent Scialo (the author) writes next!!

I found this book intersting and a great page turner.

This book is EXCELLENT!. I could not put it down. The part when Heidi finds the rocking chair again, kept me at the edge of my seat. This is an easy reading book and it flows very smoothly. I found this first time writer's book very interesting from start to finish. I'm usually very reluctant to purchase a book from an unknown author, however, the title intrigued me. I must admit I made the right decision. Not only was this book good, but I found that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I just had to know what happened to the main character Heidi. I highly recommend it!
A real tear jerker for women of all ages.
