Good Book.......2007-09-28
This is a good book for Mid career PMs. Also, a good reference for MS Programs
Useful for financial systems projects.......2000-12-14
This book is very helpful to knowledge workers. It is now translated into Chinese and doing well in China -- the first printing sold out quickly. It is friendly written and interesting. It concentrates on real issues on projects. These are not techniques, but people issues. Frame has good technique book called New Project Management. Managing Projects in Organizations has many examples that are realistic and apply in all industries and cultures. I find it especially useful for practioners in the financial and information technology sectors.
Highly readable and on point.......2000-08-22
This book is a refreshing look at what is most important in achieving project success: people functioning in organizations. While it reviews key tools and techniques in a user-friendly fashion, its chief goal is to raise readers' awareness of the central role of people and organizations in delivering successful projects. What's more, it is an easy read, filled with practical examples of real world scenarios. It is particularly useful for knowledge workers in businesses like IT, finance, telecoms, R&D and training because it does not get bogged down in painfully detailed treatment of techniques that are marginally useful on real-world projects.
Discussess only a few topics in project management.......2000-04-19
You are bound to be disappointed if you want to learn how to manage projects from this book.
This book is a very introductory and basic book that describes project management and projects, and then delves into aspects that the author considers interesting. It can best be described as an elementary introduction to the field.
I liked the "Fast Forward MBA in Project Management" much more than this book. It gives one a set of tools and a process for managing projects.
Dry but informative.......2000-02-02
I read this book in conjunction with an online course I wastaking through ESI's The Vine. I am new to project management andthis was a good reference text, but I don't think I would haveabsorbed the information as well if I had been relying solely on the book. There is a lot of good information here, but it's pretty dry. I don't recommend trying to read this one at bedtime. END

Book Description
John J. Benedetto has had a profound influence not only on the direction of harmonic analysis and its applications, but also on the entire community of people involved in the field. This self-contained volume in honor of John covers a wide range of topics in harmonic analysis and related areas, including weighted-norm inequalities, frame theory, wavelet theory, time-frequency analysis, and sampling theory. The invited chapters pay tribute to John’s many achievements and express an appreciation for both the mathematical and personal inspiration he has given to so many students, coauthors, and colleagues.
Although the scope of the book is broad, chapters are clustered by topic to provide authoritative expositions that will be of lasting interest. The original papers collected here are written by prominent, well-respected researchers and professionals in the field of harmonic analysis. The book is divided into the following five sections:
* Classical harmonic analysis
* Frame theory
* Time-frequency analysis
* Wavelet theory
* Sampling theory and shift-invariant spaces
Harmonic Analysis and Applications is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in pure and applied mathematics, engineering, and physics.

Grief Lessons: Four Plays by Euripides (New York Review Books Classics)
ASIN: 1564781887 |
Book Description
A book about love as seen by the ancients, Eros is Anne Carson's exploration of the concept of "eros" in both classical philosophy and literature. Beginning with: "It was Sappho who first called eros 'bittersweet.' No one who has been in love disputes her. What does the word mean?", Carson examines her subject from numerous points of view and styles, transcending the constraints of the scholarly exercise for an evocative and lyrical meditation in the tradition of William Carlos William's Spring and All and William H. Gass's On Being Blue.
Epigrammatic, witty, ironic, and endlessly interesting, Eros is an utterly original book by an author whose acclaim has been steadily growing since the book was first published in 1986 by Johns Hopkins.
Customer Reviews:
Carson is an inspired guide.......2005-09-06
Carson is an inspired guide through the tangled and fragmentary corpus of Greek lyric love poetry. She has a whirlwind mind and a gift for pithy expression, though once in a while she slips into a kind of gauzy equivocating that weakens her arguments. Still, this idiosyncratic take on ancient eros has moments of great insight and deserves the attention of classical scholars and non-specialists who are interested in the topic.
From the Classics.......2002-02-07
The Greeks did not cover everything but they made a pretty good start. Anne Carson has always been the queen of fitting classical allusions to the evident. The book could be described as an extended exploration of `Odi et amo: quare id faciam, fortase requiris/ nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.'- Catullus. (I hate and I love/ Why do I, you ask ?/ I don't know, but it's happening/ and it hurts.)A splendid place to mine for obscure quotes: `We aren't shutting you out of the revel, but we aren't inviting you either/ For you're a pain when you're present, and beloved when you are away'- Theognis
A fascinating, exciting exploration of the nature of desire.......2001-03-13
Eros contains a series of short essays on the ancient Greek notion of desire. Using Sappho's poetry as a touchstone, Carson explores Sappho's term "glukupikron"(literally, "sweetbitter"). She touches upon a myriad of ancient texts; the second half of the book draws largely from Plato's Phaedrus. Most exciting for me was her explanation of the similarities between the edges of erotic desire and the edges of the alphabet. This culminates in a wonderful series of chapters in which she relates erotic desire with the desire for knowledge. It was exhilarating!! What's more, I found the book extremely accessible. A must read!
