Topics include: letters, memos, and e-mail; short, informal reports; larger informal and semiformal reports; formal reports; technical proposals; communicating with prospective employers; and technical writing.

Product Description

Book Description
This practical, innovative guide book is directed to trained professional personnel who want to publish in the technical and trade press. It outlines a dynamic approach to translating non-verbal thought into written information, including an empirical method to classify thoughts for organizing and developing material into publishable articles. In addition, the book demonstrates how articles have generated significant sales opportunities for companies whose research is reported. Miller begins by giving examples of non-verbal thought and proceeds through a succession of problems related to expressing and organizing thought for presentation, with special emphasis on writing clearly, choosing a medium of publication, and getting published. Techniques are covered for dealing with editors and learning what topics they are interested in, writing query letters, and assessing whether alternate publication channels (books, etc.) may be more appropriate. Practice exercises are included to help readers apply the principles discussed.

Un Método para el Éxito Personal.......2006-02-10
UN EXCELENTE CLASICO DE AYUDA Y SUPERACION PERSONAL
Todos los logros, incluyendo todas las fortunas jamás acumuladas, tuvieron su origen con una idea.
La riqueza proviene de convertir una idea de algo que solamente nuestra mente puede ver en algo que le sea útil a otras personas, y para lo cual estén dispuestos a pagar.
Esto se realiza mediante la autosugestión, la planeación organizada, la asociación de mentes maestras y una armonía interna entre los pensamientos y las acciones así como los logros en la vida.
Requiere Actualización Lingüística.......2005-09-28
PIENSE Y HÁGASE RICO
He leído este libro un par de veces. No porque me parezca tan bueno como para leerlo más de una vez, sino porque la traducción al español fue hecha hace mucho tiempo, por lo que no estoy familiarizado con algunas palabras.
Tengo entendido que ya existe una versión con lenguaje actualizado en inglés, pero no sé si en español ya exista algo similar.
Yo no he visto con mucho agrado los libros de superación personal, tal vez porque los primeros que leí fueron obligatorios en la escuela, y además eran aburridos. Sin embargo no podía dejar de leer este libro, escrito por uno de los más grandes exponentes de la literatura de superación personal que jamás ha existido: Napoleón Hill.
"Piense y Hágase Rico" no solamente pretende exponer la fórmula que el autor descubrió para adquirir riquezas económicas, sino que en general contiene los pasos a seguir para obtener éxito en la realización de cualquier objetivo.
Puntos a favor:
· Muestra excelentes ideas, en la forma de 13 pasos, para plantear objetivos, formular planes y ejecutarlos.
· Es un libro que, como lo dice su título, te pone a pensar.
· Contiene palabras y pensamientos que realmente inspiran al lector.
Puntos en contra:
· El autor es muy rígido e insiste demasiado en llevar a cabo los 13 pasos... yo creo que es mejor obtener la esencia de los principios expuestos, y formular personalmente su propia metodología.
· Para lograr los objetivos planeados el autor da por hecho que el lector cree en la existencia de un Ser Superior, o Mente Infinita, o como se le quiera llamar, excluyendo de esta manera a los ateos... entonces quien no cree en la Mente Infinita, o en Dios, o en algún ser superior está destinado a ser un perdedor, y un miserable toda su vida. Por supuesto esto no ocurre en la realidad.
· El lenguaje y algunos conceptos son anticuados.
En resumen, sí recomiendo leer "Piense y Hágase Rico" de Napoleón Hill, pero con una mente crítica, reteniendo la esencia de los principios expuestos en el libro.
A MUST READ.......2005-08-12
This book is the spanish translated version of 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill. It is tremendous in that it helps you not only monetarily; but that it also applies to any other goals you have in your life. The book was a gift to my father - who sometime thought of 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks'; believe me after reading this book; his mind has opened up to so many more possibilities, adventures, goals. a must read.
Inspirational and specific language to explain concepts.......1999-06-28
Wonderfully specific for every level of employee within a company. Definitely a great handbook of 'expectations' to share with staff and family/friends. Bilingual English/Spanish make it perfect for the Latin American or multi national companies of small side looking for a training outline.

Piense y hágase rico & Como un Hombre Piensa Asi es Su Vida (2 en 1)
PIENSE Y HÁGASE RICO
Enseñando por primera vez, la famosa formula de Andrew Carnegie para ganar dinero basada en los PROBADOS TRECE PASOS para lograr HACERSE RICO. Organizado durante 25 años de investigación, en colaboración con más de 500 hombres distinguidos de grandes riquezas, quienes probaron mediante sus propios resultados que está filosofía es aplicable.
Como un Hombre Piensa Asi es Su Vida
Este libro (resultado de la meditación y la experiencia) no intenta ser un tratado exhaustivo acerca del poder del pensamiento, de lo que ya mucho se ha escrito. Es más bien sugestivo antes que explicativo, su objetivo es estimular a hombres y mujeres al descubrimiento y al entendimiento de la siguiente verdad: Los pensamientos son forjadores de sí mismos.

Book Description
The Monopoly game, Trivial Pursuit, Clue, Boggle, and Risk are more than games-they're part of Americana. All of these games were published by one company, Parker Brothers, which began as a dream inside the mind of a sixteen-year-old boy, over one hundred years ago.
In The Game Makers, industry expert Phil Orbanes reveals how, by adhering to the principles of its founder, Parker Brothers rose to prominence, overcame obstacles, and forged lasting success. Orbanes, a game historian and former executive at Parker Brothers, draws from company archives, interviews with surviving family members, and the newly discovered records of founder George Parker to tell a story rich in examples of business acumen that spans world wars, family tragedy, the Great Depression, and global competition. Pairing Parker's enduring business lessons with little-known historical anecdotes, Orbanes reveals the often whimsical origin of classic games-Tiddledy Winks, Monopoly, Nerf, Sorry!, the modern jigsaw puzzle, and more-and how Parker Brothers turned them into cultural icons.
Engaging and insightful, The Game Makers explains the rules that popularized the games we play and reveals the people who built an American business empire.
"From one who loves games: The Game Makers is a real page-turner. Nobody knows the subject matter better than Phil Orbanes, and it shows. A most compelling read."
-Wink Martindale, host, Music of Your Life, and veteran host for award-winning game shows such as Can You Top This , Tic-Tac-Dough, and Trivial Pursuit.
"Phil Orbanes is a gifted chronicler. He serves up a tantalizing tale of fast-paced competition, drama, risk, eccentric personalities, and strategy, in one of the world's most competitive industries. The reader wins!"
-Richard C. Levy, Author, The Toy and Game Inventor's Handbook
"In this deeply researched look at the evolution of business practices within the world of 'game makers,' Phil Orbanes takes readers on a journey in which they will happily recall the joyful hours spent playing the games that rolled off the presses at Parker Brothers."
-John J. Fox, Professor Emeritus, Department of History, Salem State College
"A classic tale of American entrepreneurship, The Game Makers is a detailed study of successful business expansion and an insider's view of the cultural conflict between a corporate parent and its prize acquisition. This history of Parker Brothers offers something of interest to any serious student of American business practices."
-Linda M. Lemiesz, Ph.D., Dean of Students, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Arts
"I thoroughly enjoyed Phil Orbanes's journey through the history of Parker Brothers. Enjoyable and informative, The Game Makers is a fascinating account of how one individual's strength of character-or weakness-exerted a significant influence over a company's fortunes."
-Ralph H. Baer, Toy and Game Inventor, and Father of Video Games
Customer Reviews:
As good as it gets for business books!.......2006-12-21
Parker Brothers have made some of the most memorable games and the story of how they came up with them and built an empire is fascinating. This is one of the great business books on the toy industry of which sadly there are few. No attention was placed to video games undercutting board games sloes but otherwise this covers everything you would want to know. The stories are great and the ideas for the games really come to life. For those who want to create board games or understand the toy industry this is a must read.
Fantastic story of the ups and downs of Parker Brothers.......2006-05-07
This is a must read if you enjoy collecting or playing with classic toys and games. I was to learn more about how the early jigsaw puzzles were made. Phil covers the the eras of George S. Parker, Ranny Barton and General Mills well. The Nerf section near the end of the book is pretty cool, too.
Sanguine but credible history.......2004-04-29
The author is a former employee and diehard fan of Parker Brothers which makes his viewpoint a double edged sword. On the one hand, his account is complimentary although never gushing. He does not shy away from relating some of the nasty corporate politics especially those during the company's recent years during which he worked for them. Some of the early history though, seems a bit too rosy especially when you consider US labor conditions in the early 20th century.
On the much brighter side, Orbanes' passion and connections to the company have afforded him dilligence and sources no other author could have attained. The book is well documented with accounts from George Parker's own private papers as well as interviews with lifelong employees from the upper and lower reaches of the organization.
Being a game fan, I can't be completely objective about the historical quality of the book. Orbanes injects as much historical context as he can and documents these references as well. Personally, I couldn't put the book down and found every chapter fascinating.
Makes you want to invent games yourself.......2004-01-16
Philip Orbanes tells a sympathetic and interesting tale of Parker Brothers' long rise to fame and fortune between 1883 and the beginning of the 1980s, as well how General Mill's video-game-stoked greed and lack of prudence brought on the decline of the once so respected game maker. This is the point where the authors tone as well as coverage of the history of the firm change dramatically, becoming somewhat more emotional, although not less enthusiastic.
One thing that "bothers" me about Orbanes' book is that the author is not always as elaborate as he could be. For example, he could have been more explicit on how Parker's Banking game was actually played, rather than just a basic outline of the game. Or the history of the Mah-Jongg game could have been more detailed. Also, an early example of the clear and concise wording of game rules that George Parker was famous for would have been interesting. None of these shortcomings seriously compromise the quality of the book, but it left me somewhat hungry for more material.
Much to my amusement, from the moment I passed the first few pages of Philip Orbanes' Parker story I have been housing the notion of making games myself. I can only imagine the satisfaction of creating intelligent and fun games. I find the concept of take a set of concise, simple rules and turning them into challenging and lasting game quite intriguing. Parker certainly mastered this principle in the past with games such as Risk or Monopoly, to name two of the most prominent.
A fascinating family and all the games we grew up with.......2003-11-25
I finished reading the Game Makers at 2:00 a.m. Usually I am sleeping long beforehand, but I found it just fascinating to learn about this amazing family and their great company-- especially because of the the way the story is told. It is filled with real drama and surprise. It made it difficult to stop reading before the last page. I learned a lot about making games as well. I also understand much better now the relations between the principles of successful business and the rules of games. The incredible changes in the last 25 years were of great interest for me. The amount of details presented is astonishing and the way they are presented makes it a pleasure to read.I applaud this highly original and interesting book.
