1 out of 5 stars A VERY CONCEITED AUTHOR.......2003-08-28

If I were to describe the contents of this book to a friend, I would definitely say "it is a book about Dr. Glass boasting her accomplishments and the great number of celebrities she knows," rather than a book that helps you with your communication skills. The book is overwhelmed with grand examples of how many celebrities, popular people, and important public figures she has helped and she also named everyone of them. The overall information she provides is good but superficial and general. In addition, I feel that Dr. Glass really lack the grace of an author. In one chapter, Dr. Glass was criticizing the renowned author Dale Carnegie and his extremely popular book "How To Win Friends and Influence People." After reading Dr. Glass's degrading and unrealistic criticism of Mr. Dale Carnegie, I would sincerely suggest that Dr. Glass should REREAD his book again carefully and attentively and pay attention to what Dale Carnegie really meant in his book. First of all, I think it is very conceited and unrespectful as an author to only praise her own points in her own book and literally "trample" on specifically one other author's points of view - point by point. I think it is also unduly bold when the author she is criticizing is one who is recognized by so many people all over the world. I would like to ask, what made Dr. Glass think that her points and perspectives are better than Dale Carnegie's, whose status, reputation, and knowledge is already so deeply rooted in and widely approved by so many people? It makes me think she is trying to say that those who love Dale Carnegie's concepts, and those companies who paid expensive amount of money for their employees to participate in Dale Carnegie's communication workshops are just outright stupid. Second, I have read "How To Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie many times, and I think I can be in the position to say that Dr. Glass has distorted and mistaken what Dale Carnegie INDEED meant in his book. Dr. Glass's understanding about Dale Carnegie's concepts are absolutely exaggerating, radical, and distorted. Every point that she commented on the book was not the message that Dale Carnegie was trying to deliver. For this reason, I really urge Dr. Glass to REREAD Dale Carnegie's book without preconception and with an open-mind and humble heart. I think one very important quality in great communicators is being humble, not to brag about oneself and step on other people's accomplishment.

2 out of 5 stars Lots of fluff, not a lot of substance.......2000-04-27

This book skims the surface of this difficult subject. While the general points are good, you finish it off with nothing gained, really, besides common sense stuff. Some of the info on relationships is good. Like most other books on conversational skills, it lacks realistic, concrete ways to improve your confidence. And yes, she name drops like a fiend! Doesn't come anywhere near the realistic effectiveness of "Conversationally Speaking" by Alan Garner. After going through a few other books, Alan's is one of the few that doesn't have all of these ridiculous things that you would NEVER say in a social situation without being laughed at. Trust me on this one.

3 out of 5 stars Good reference material for those who need it.......1999-09-11

Good basic reference for those who don't have strong conversational skills or who's skills are limited to a narrow area. I first checked this book out of the library. It was well worn and was wait listed when I returned it (1999). I am buying another copy as a reference. In my particular case I have very strong business communication skills but weak social communication skills. I found the common sense guidance information in the book very helpful. Since I am trying to change long running habits in my conversation, I need to keep reminding myself (by referancing the book) of the new behaviours I am trying to adopt until they become second nature. Ms. Glass' name dropping of those she has helped does more to distract than add the credibility I suspect she was intending. On the other hand, I had no trouble reading past it to get to the real suggestions. I regularly interact with people who would benefit from following the information in this book.

1 out of 5 stars Anthology of rambling and common sense.......1998-03-17

This anthology of common sense book is a great waste of time. The length of discussion on each topic is very minimal and superficial, muck like the author. The crux of this book rambles on about how many celebrities Ms. Glass knows. She's just really full of herself!

4 out of 5 stars Right on target!.......2001-03-30

After reading this book, I am convinced that every manager/supervisor should have this book in their library. The approach goes way beyond theoretical to the practical day to day business of creating solutions to what matters most - how to deal with change in the workplace. I carry it with me always.

1 out of 5 stars Not worth the cost.......2000-10-05

I just received the pamphlet (it's not a book) and I'm completely disappointed. It's less than 1000 words long, if you don't count the advertisement for the author at the end. I can't believe I was charged $4.48 in shipping for what should have been mailed in a #10 envelope for 33 cents. The information here is insightful, but extremely minimal. I don't recommend you purchase this pamphlet. The author should post it on his web page instead. If your time is worth anything, this booklet isn't worth the time it will take you to place an order for it.

5 out of 5 stars Wish I'd written it?.......2000-01-25

What a handy, concise, common-sense book for any manager trying to implement positive change in the workplace and facing resistance among the workforce. I'm recommending that my clients read it, and carry it in their suit pockets for ready reference as they streamline their operations. This quick-read book can help prevent or mitigate predictable concerns among employees who feel threatened when faced with work-habit changes. Keener's insight makes so much sense. I wish I'd written this little book myself. "

5 out of 5 stars Time well spent.......2000-01-19

You can read Jim Keener's book in much less time than it takes to watch the evening news, and with a much heftier payoff. He manages to say in a relatively few words what long-winded pundits and business consultants turn into huge, unreadable books and pricey seminars. What I like most is Keener's optimism and common sense. I imagine him sitting in a comfortable room chatting with some intelligent, well-intentioned people who are smart enough to solve their own problems if given a gentle nudge. People resist change, he says, for good reasons, but if you give them some guidance they will be more comfortable with what is going to happen anyway. Change is nothing to be afraid of, but something to be turned to advantage. Keener's book would be ideal for busy, skeptical people in organizations going through a shake-down. It's a book they will actually read, think about, read again, and pass along to others. A few bucks and a few minutes well spent.

    Release Date: 2005-06-15

    Book Description

    The Feder Guide lists street parking regulations for every street in the downtown area of Manhattan (30th Street - Battery Park) as well as over 150 parking facilities in this same area including their locations, hours of operation, contact information and rates. This book also provides street maps, gives helpful hints as to the best and worst places for street parking and offers tips for what to do if a car is missing, towed or ticketed. It also gives tricks to help you get out of parking tickets that have already been given!

    There is a need for The Feder Guide - no such book currently exists and as anyone who drives a vehicle in Manhattan knows, trying to park your car or truck in Manhattan can be a frustrating and sometimes costly experience. Research shows an average of over 22,000 tickets are issued daily in New York City, of which Manhattan is by far the largest contributor. If this book helps a Manhattan motorist avoid just one parking ticket, it'll pay for itself up to six times over. If it helps a driver in Manhattan to avoid being towed, it pays for itself at least fourteen times over.

    No more driving around in circles forever to find a place to park for a downtown NYC show. I've been towed, ticketed, even forgotten where I parked my car. Now all I have to do is look up the streets in the Feder Guide around where I'm going, pick the ones with the best FREE parking, and BAM, I'm parked with no worries. Why didn't somebody write this book 20 years ago???
    I would be a few hundred dollars richer if they had. Thanks Mr. Feder!

    5 out of 5 stars Don't drive to NYC without it!.......2005-08-17

    Essential for people who drive in Manhattan. Why didn't someone think of this before? It's easy to use and will save you aggravation and frustration (not to mention parking tickets)whenever you need to drive and park in the city. Highly recommended!

    Book Description

    Lochner v. New York (1905), which pitted a conservative activist judiciary against a reform-minded legislature, remains one of the most important and most frequently cited cases in Supreme Court history. In this concise and readable guide, Paul Kens shows us why the case remains such an important marker in the ideological battles between the free market and the regulatory state.

    The Supreme Court's decision declared unconstitutional a New York State law limiting bakery workers to no more than ten hours per day or sixty hours per week. By evoking its "police power," the state hoped to eliminate the employers' abuse of these workers. But the 5-4 majority opinion, authored by Justice Rufus Peckham and renounced by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, cited the state's violation of due process and the "right of contract between employers and employees," which the majority believed was protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

    Critics jumped on the decision as an example of conservative juidicial activism promoting laissez-faire capitalism at the expense of progressive reform. As series editors Peter Hoffer and N.E.H. Hull note in their preface, "the case also raised a host of significant questions regarding the impetus of state legislatures to enter the workplace and regulate hours, wages, and working conditions; of the role of courts as monitors of the constitutionality of state regulation of the economy; and of the place of economic and moral theories in judicial thinking."

    Kens, however, reminds us that these hotly contested ideas and principles emerged from a very real human drama involving workers, owners, legislators, lawyers, and judges. Within the crucible of an industrializing America, their story reflected the fierce competition between two powerful ideologies.

    This book is part of the Landmark Law Cases and American Society series.

    3 out of 5 stars Law, Liberty and the limits of Judicial Activism.......2007-09-04

    "Lochner v. New York" is one of the best known and most despised US Supreme Court rulings. In Lochner, the Court voted 5 to 4 to invalidate a New York law that limited baker's working hours to 10 a day or sixty a week. The Court found that it was a "labor legislation", and therefore unconstitutional. To this day, Lochner v. New York is remembered as one of the most extremist judicial activist opinions, and gave the name to an era of conservative judicial activism, which lasted well into the New Deal.

    Professor Paul Kens' "Lochner v. New York" (I shall henceforth refer to the decision as "Lochner" and to the book as "Lochner v. New York") is not the type of book I was looking for. I wanted a legal analysis of the infamous decision. Kens' book is less a legal analysis as a social, political and intellectual history, explaining the various trends that shaped the law, the case, and the decision.

    Too often, Social History can be merely a list of practices, or a description of conditions that are entirely predictable to anyone with even a slight familiarity with economic and social concepts (see respectively Eric Poner's Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 and John Dower's Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II). "Lochner v. New York" on the other hand is revealing of the working conditions and social and economic situation of the baking industry, and Kens judicially uses statistics to chronicle its evolution from the mid 19th century to the early 20th.

    As Intellectual history, Kens offers an in depth look at the thought of various Lessez-faire and Social Darwinist ideologists, as well as their progressive opponents. Although Kens clearly has little sympathy for Social Darwinists, they come out quite well - Social Darwinist thought, while extremist, is not all that different from modern Libertarianism.

    Kos does a good job of describing the politics surrounding the Baking hour law's passing, and the ironies with which it abounded - including the fact that one of the Law's chief backers were later to argue its unconstitutionality before the Supreme Court.

    After contextualizing Lochner, Kens gets down to legal analysis. Essentially, the court applied the doctrine of "substantial due process" to declare the 10 hour law unconstitutional. The court used the 14th amendment requirement against deprivation of liberty to protect the "Sanctity of contract". The state must not deprive a person of the right to work at whatever terms he sees fit, unless it is for reasons of public health or safety, or unless the person is in need of paternalistic protection, if he is a minor or (in Victorian America) a she.

    The vast majority of the Court, including Dissenter John Marshall Harlan, subscribed to this interpretation. Harlan only claimed that the Court should give the state the benefit of the doubt - if it claimed that the Law meant to protect bakers' health, then that is what it did. Only Oliver Wendell Holmes articulated a completely different vision: "The 14th Amendment does not enact Mr. Herbert Spencer's Social Statics" he famously wrote in his classic dissent. The sanctity of Contract was not in the constitution, and states should have no problem overruling it.

    Kos agrees with the dissenters. He convincingly (in my view), demonstrates that the framers of 14th amendment did not intend to protect the liberty of contract, and that laissez faire Capitalism was not an antebellum ideology (although he may underestimate the extent to which laissez faire was latent in pre Civil War America - most ideologies only take shape when challenged, as laissez faire was by the increasingly powerful state of the late 19th century). Ken clearly thinks that the Court should not enforce values that are not clearly articulated in the Constitution text or its history.

    Kens realizes that his position requires opposition not only to Lochner, but also to Liberal rulings such as Griswold v. Connecticut, which ensured the right of married individuals to use contraception. Kens argues that this also requires expansive, ideological reading of the Constitution and thus should be avoided.

    But the very purpose of a constitution is to check the majority's power against minorities. Because times change, the means of oppression can change also. The specific clauses of the US constitution - the ones that protect against abuses that were known at the time of framing - are mostly outdated. Think of the 3rd amendment's prohibition against the stationing of soldiers at private houses. It is the more general, opaque clauses of the constitution (like the prohibition against abridging the Freedom of Speech or inflicting "Cruel and unusual punishments") that can deter present day majorities from manhandling minorities and protect the little citizen from Big Brother.

    But can Lochner v. New York be distinguished from expansive Liberal rulings? Does adherence to Griswold force on us to accept Lochner?

    I think there are good pragmatic reasons to say no. First, we should acknowledge that the Court's decision is right in treating suspiciously governmental intervention in the freedom of contracts. But the Court erred, in my view, in seeing Lochner as essentially a question of Liberty. I think Lochner is actually a question of wealth redistribution.

    By regulating the terms in which bakeries and baker workers contract, New York improved the relative position of the workers vis a vis the owners. But government policy can most assuredly do that. The government is entitled to levy taxes in any form it wishes, whether progressively (taxing the rich more then the poor) or regressively (the other way around). It may levy tariffs on incoming goods, improving the lots of US manufacturers and worsening those of exporters. It can supply welfare benefits for the poor. The competition between the various interests is the very essence of the democratic process and should be left (within reason), to the democratic process. The time for the Court to intervene is to prevent Government from abusing citizens, not to keep the spoils out of the hands of the winners in marketplace of ideas.

    5 out of 5 stars Great book on Lochner and Negative Rights doctrine.......2003-11-19

    This is a great book. I like long books, but this one is short and sweet. Moves the story along, and explores the fascinating background to Lochner (including the history of the baking industry and the conflicts of interest -- to give but one example, the attorney for anti-union Lochner was in fact not an attorney and in fact was a union organizer in the past.

    Also discusses the Negative Rights (Substantive Due Process in law) doctrine and has a great bibliography.

    The author is clearly a world expert in this field and I wish the book could have been longer. The author does not appear to be heavily biased either for or against Positive Rights (read Big) government.

    Bibliography and timeline at the end of the book is great too.

    Outstanding.

    5 out of 5 stars A terrific intro to substantive due process.......2003-05-04

    As a junior political science major at UNC, I have had to read a lot of books similar to Kens's. These books focus on a particular case, be it the Skokie trial, the Tinker armband case, the Chadha legislative veto case or the Bakke affirmative action case. Anthony Lewis's Gideon's Trumpet book seems to be the first of this kind.

    Kens' book is by far the best of its type that I have read. The other books of this genre I've read in this genre deal too much with the proceedings of a case. For instance, Mr. Chadha had this legal problem, he got this lawyer, they went through this legal proceeding, they had to refine their arguments, they went to the next appellate court, blah blah blah. Frankly these kinds of details are boring, and give little if any insight into the importance of a given case.

    Kens's has a different approach. Instead of going into great detail about why Mr. Lochner picked a given lawyer, Kens goes into great detail of the impetuses for the passage of the law that Mr. Lochner was challenging. He talks about the social and political climate of the times, tying in influential theories of the day like Social Darwinism and laissez-faire economics. Kens clearly places the case of Lochner v. New York in its historical framework. This, it seems, is a superior method for studying an important case like this one.

    I would strongly urge this book to any professor teaching a constitional law/history class. I would also strongly recommend it to a student looking for a good introduction to the study of substantive due process.
