Beautiful Marin - Mendocino: Pacific Coast Events

Book Description

Every day college and university faculty ask themselves the question, 'How can we become more effective teachers of a culturally diverse student body?' This book provides the most comprehensive and useful answer that I have ever read. Drawing upon years of experience and research with students from various cultural backgrounds, Wlodkowski and Ginsberg offer faculty a remarkable integration of theory and practice--full of the kinds of insights and strategies they can use today.

--Michael Nettles, professor, Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education, University of Michigan

A Nice Springboard for Discussion in Class.......2007-06-01

This is a terrific reference and a springboard for discussion in class, but as far as books go, it's nothing so terrific that would turn me on to mediation if I were in a book store flipping through books for something to read.

The book is easy to read and follow as far as topics are concerned and if you need to look something up, topics are easy to find and outline.

Book Description

This handbook invites readers who are interested in mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution to share the perspectives of experts in the field. Contributors include scholars, mediators, trainers, and negotiators, all of whom are passionate about their work.The handbook takes an interdisciplinary approach to mediation, emphasizing both internal and external factors as important sources of influence when negotiating conflicts. It explores the cultural and institutional frameworks that have shaped intervention processes, and it considers which intervention techniques might work - when, how, and why. Particular topics covered include: understanding variation in mediation programs; the dynamics of power in child custody mediation; pre-mediation strategies for dealing with strong emotions; and developing a conflict-positive organization.The Blackwell Handbook of Mediation affirms that the study of mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution has moved beyond experimental research and descriptive analyses into a more sophisticated domain.

Book Description

For graduate or undergraduate upper-division courses in Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, or Labor Relations, which can be found in various departments such as business, law, education, engineering, psychology, and public administration.

A major goal of the authors was to write a book that could be easily utilized in a variety of courses and would be universally appealing to students of all majors. To enhance the readability, they intentionally chose a “conversational writing style” rather than a traditional “textbook style” to engage students of various different backgrounds. The book has a lively and interesting approach and incorporates several unique features that focus on “real world” negotiation cases. These features include cartoons like the popular Zits series, offering the reader a humorous but realistic viewpoint as well as many practical bargaining tactics and tips. All chapters include many boxed items and discussions of actual negotiations to illustrate major concepts and make them more accessible to students.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent book on Zero Quality Control.......2006-03-24

The author has really shown the way to achieve zero defect through best method of quality control. The idea implementation of source inspection, self checks and successive checks and their result is really impressive. Various method shown to eliminate various errors and defects during manufacturing provides the eye-opening to people who want to acheive zero defects with zero quality control.

Not as good as Shingo's SMED, but.............2006-02-08

Book info : I read the 1st English edition that was published in 1986.
Pre required knowledge: None
Purchased price : USD 29,99
General : The book is easy to read, in occasion the book is repeating itself and the 1st chapter is a copy from Shingo's book on SMED.

Book content:
The book is basically divided into 2 parts. Part 1 (46% of book content) handles all the theory on processes, operations and the different kind of inspections. Then the book moves on to Quality Control, Statistical Quality Control and Zero Quality Control with the explanation of how this can be achieved by Poka-Yoke devices. The 2nd part of the book handles examples of Poka-yoke systems and more information on the author. Because of the age of the book some of the ideas are still good but the solutions are outdated.

It is a good book; but I was a bit disappointed after reading Shingo's book on SMED. Maybe were my expectations to high, if you are able to purchase this book for a reasonable price I recommend it.

Master piece, but..........2005-09-18

The book can be divided into two parts:
1-st: theory, philosophy of Zero Quality Control; this part is well written, gives you power to act.
2-nd: samples of POKA YOKE; this part you can omit unless you will find similar problem that has been solved - old equipment, poor pictures and drawings.
From my experience - use wisdom from the first part of that book to explain to your collegues "WHY USE POKA YOKE?", then they will find the technical solutions.

Excellent book on making 100% inspection affordable.......2003-10-12

This is an excellent book on reducing the cost of 100% inspection so that product quality can be assured. The book is clearly written, filled with useful examples, and very well translated. This book does not deal specifically with methods of reducing the cost of inspecting precision parts. Most of the examples describe methods of assuring that assemblies are put together properly, by making incorrect assembly virtually impossible.

Learning from the master.......2002-07-10

Mr Shingo was the technical man behind Mr Ohno who was the manager in the implementation of the Toyota production system. He defined the how to methods of SMED and 0 defects Quality that support the non stock production system. This book is of the type for the hands on engineer who wants to understand and implement the concepts, directly from their creator.
