The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual: How To Tie The Knot Without Coming Unraveled
Michael R. Perry Manufacturer: Pocket ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0671537903 |
Amazon.com
Imagine a wedding-planning book written by a guy--a '90s guy, a funny guy, a guy who's been through it all himself. Michael Perry points out (repeatedly) that what you need to be married is each other and a few bucks for a marriage license; the rest is gravy, even though to some it's pretty important gravy. From families to jewelry to making decisions together, Perry manages to dispense both wicked wit and good advice for those who, in spite of everything, really want to take that plunge. Perry on budget cutting: "Suddenly, the $8-a-bottle champagne looks just as good as the $80-a-bottle champagne. And do we really need a lion tamer and Yo-Yo Ma at the reception?" As a bonus, it's illustrated hilariously with stock photos from a previous era. For couples with a sense of humor, there's no better engagement gift than The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual.Book Description

Saying "yes" was the easy part -- now comes the first big challenge for every engaged couple (no, not who's in charge of the remote control).

Michael Perry, a happily married former groom, offers hip, helpful advice for navigating the land of weird wedding stuff you never knew existed, and gives you the best gift of all: the attitude to enjoy yourself and each other in the premarital months ahead -- and for a lifetime afterward!
Do you want a royal wedding or a backyard barbecue? A stay-at-home honeymoon or a Hawaiian getaway? Only the bride-and-groom-to-be can decide; The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual shows you how to:
...and much more. Like a best friend, The Couple's Wedding Survival Manual calms your jitters, keeps you smiling, and prepares you for wedded bliss!

Keeps things in perspective.......2001-10-18
Highly Recommended - Funny and Helpful.......2000-11-04
A must-have book for all Engaged Couples!.......1999-02-17
My fiance particularly liked the section on ring buying.
Perry keeps the focus on WHY you are getting married, to be together forever. He downplays the keeping up with the Jones which is so prevelant in marriages these days. However, if you want to go all out, he'll tell you who, traditionally, pays for what!
A must have book!

Work Smarts for Women: The Essential Sex Discrimination Survival Guide
Patti Paniccia Manufacturer: Ballantine Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0345422619 Release Date: 2000-01-04 |
Book Description
Corporations spend millions of dollars to protect themselves from sex discrimination lawsuits. Now here's the book that will protect you!Customer Reviews:
I badly needed this book!.......2002-03-28
There were some areas of interest that I personally have that Paniccia did not cover, but overall this is a worthy read if you're contemplating a lawsuit. It will prepare you in many ways and this type of preparation is necessary in order to survive a lawsuit of this nature. No one but a woman who has endured sexual discrimination or retaliation could understand.
Whereas Paniccia's case was outright and obvious with her "mommydom" memo, there are many women, I believe, who are constantly enduring discrimination only in more oblique/obtuse ways that can easily be covered over or explained away. This is especially true in today's society where I do not think the court system is favorable to the individual. Finding a lawyer who is truly dedicated to your cause and remembers that it's your case and you lived it is very important to succeeding. These types of lawyers are few and far betweeen. What with case loads so high, and the push by firms to take clients that can make big settlements, these cases often don't get the attention they deserve.
Maybe if they made the settlements higher, more lawyers would be inclined to take the cases and then maybe there would be less tolerance in the workplace for this type of behavior. Right now, it's still a good 'ol boy system and as long as it is, they'll make and break the rules as they please!
Invaluable Resource.......2000-09-28
Everyone has to decide what course of action is best for themselves. Read this book before you try to work with organizational management. It will help you decide what course of action is best for you and how to go about achieving your goals.
Be Prepared!.......2000-03-28
We found the book to be a well written and informative guide. Especially useful to us were the sections on collecting proper documentation, and lodging a formal complaint.
Recommended to any woman who wants to be proactive and protect herself from sexual discrimination before things get out of hand.
Paniccia Sets Precedence.......2000-03-16
Why should women ipso facto put up with inferior gender biasing? Paniccia's personal account with sex discrimination infuses the book with fire and solution.
Passing on a baton of freedom from injustice is Paniccia's true gift. Her children will reap the benefits of her undisputable strength.
great resource!.......2000-03-16

Newspapers of Record in a Digital Age: From Hot Type to Hot Link (Praeger Series in Political Communication)
Shannon E. Martin , and Kathleen A. Hansen Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0275959600 |
Book Description
Newspapers as a record of the day's events and conduit for public business have been part of life in the United States for several hundred years. While some newspapers claim the "newspaper of record" characteristics for themselves, others are so designated to serve specific community functions, such as the town chronicler or public notice distributor. The expression "newspaper of record" is most often found among works by lawyers, historians, and librarians. Yet many newspapers are now developing online news products that do not correspond directly to the newsprint version. Many are asking whether online newspapers will replace traditional newsprint products and whether the online version can or should be treated as equal to the newsprint version. State and municipal governments are exploring electronic distribution of public notices, challenging newspapers' exclusive claim to legal notice advertising revenue. Martin and Hansen focus on some of the traditional uses of newspapers by groups who use the "newspaper of record" concept, and they compare traditional newspapers to online newspapers as "records." After a historical review, they examine legal and archival uses for newspapers, report on several case studies of online newspaper production, and conclude with suggestions for future scholarly, legal, and industry focus on the "newspaper of record" concept. This valuable analysis serves professionals in journalism and law as well as scholars and researchers in journalism and archive management.

The Economist Style Guide: A Concise Guide for All Your Business Communications (Economist)
Economist Publications Manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0471248398 |
Amazon.com
Rare is the style guide that a person--even a word person--would want to read cover to cover. But The Economist Style Guide, designed, as the book says, to promote good writing, is so witty and rigorous as to be irresistible. The book consists of three parts. The first is the Economist's style book, which acts as a position paper of sorts in favor of clear, concise, correct usage. The big no-noes listed in the book's introduction are: "Do not be stuffy.... Do not be hectoring or arrogant.... Do not be too pleased with yourself.... Do not be too chatty.... Do not be too didactic.... [And] do not be sloppy." Before even getting to the letter B, we are reminded that aggravate "means make worse, not irritate or annoy"; that an alibi "is the proven fact of being elsewhere, not a false explanation"; and that anarchy "means the complete absence of law or government. It may be harmonious or chaotic."Part 2 of the book describes many of the spelling, grammar, and usage differences between British and American English. While many Briticisms are familiar to most Americans and vice versa, there are some words--such as homely, bomb, and table--that take on quite different meanings altogether when they cross the Atlantic. And part 3 offers a handy reference to such information as common business abbreviations, accountancy ratios, the Beaufort Scale, commodity-trade classifications, currencies, laws, measures, and stock-market indices. The U.S. reader should be aware (but not scared off by the fact) that some of the style issues addressed are specifically British. --Jane Steinberg
