Workplace Communications.......2006-01-04
Having taught technical writing, workplace communications, and business English at three different institutions--community college, four-year institution, and private university--and possessing an earned doctorate with an English minor, I find Searle's textbook user friendly, relevant, and functionally practical for nontraditional students, particularly those seeking applied science associate degrees that are terminal. Each of the 10 chapters relate to written and spoken communicative tasks that are required on the job for most persons employed in skilled and paraprofessional positions. The format of the text is inviting and varied without being cluttered or obtrusive. Every community and technical college should consider this text for nontraditional "technical" or business writing courses.
It sucks.......2005-01-25
This is a terribly written and composed text. No school anywhere should use it.

English the Easy Way by Schachter & Schneiter Williams.......2005-04-28
Sorry authors but this book sucks...excuse the grammar. I really couldn't understand what the other reviewer meant by "answers", but now I do. There is no answer key. I looked everywhere for it. The only way you can get one is from the publisher and if you aren't a teacher, forget about it. If this is the case then why isn't it somewhere in bold so you don't waste $40 and precious time. The lady I spoke with at Thomson-SouthWestern said that they do it this way because they don't want school kids to get the answer key. She never could give me a reason why they offer this book to the mass public. Anyway, the book is well written but if you are not a teacher and need it for reviewing basic English don't waste you dough (money). Now I see why the 2nd reviewer gave such a good review...She/He's a TEACHER! DUH! *Happy Hunting*
Very clear and well-organized.......2004-02-13
I'm using this book to teach an English grammar class, and it has been very helpful. It's easy to follow and logically laid out. I've found it better than a few other English grammar books I've seen. There are plenty of exercises.

An Absolute Must for any person who communicates.......1999-09-17
This authorative book on the vast subject of Business Communication is easy to read and understand. The style of presentation allows enjoyable reading such that my appetite has been whetted for further investigation. The authors have managed to turn a mundane topic into an absorbing subject. Regret that I have only discovered this illustrative book whilst busy completing my Doctorate in Psychology as it would have been useful during my earlier degrees. The publication is applicable to all serious literature students, writers and authors and general business personnel. Well illustrated with actual examples and surprisingly up to date with the newest trends and covers every conceivable aspect about the subject. The publication is interspersed with useful hints and insight. The contents initiate much thought and initiative within the reader's cognitive abilities. So glad I found it. It shall always accompany me where I work and think. Such an item should be part of everyone's library and would make a useful gift. I hope to soon be the proud owner of such myself. Congratulations to the authors on a fine team effort. Please keep it updated. Roy K Els. MSc (Psycho)
Book Description
Lesikar and Flatley's, Basic Business Communication (BBC): Skills for Empowering the Internet Generation, has long been known as a solid introductory business communication book that gets to the writing skills sooner than most other texts and gives students true 'how-to' skills in all areas of business communication. It has solid examples, and is both consumer-and service-oriented. Its strength has also been its use of margin notes, cartoons and photos that relate to the concepts and use of cases. Recent editions have established BBC as truly cutting edge; it was the first text in the market with PowerPoint as part of its package, the first to have an online chapter, and with the 9th Edition is now the first to offer writing tips and templates for PDAs (personal digital assistants).).
Book Description

Use of current technology including the Internet have been incorporated throughout as well as the SCANS workplace readiness skills. Humor is also added to emphasize key principles and concepts.

How to answer the telephone.......2003-11-20
I guess I'm not a member of the first reviewer's Timm fan club. The sense of humor is an acquired taste. The text might be best for a high school business class but I guess I expected more.
The expert scores again!.......2000-12-06
Dr. Timm has done it again. This book covers all the basics of oral communication-- not just presentations. He talks about conversations, interviews, telephone calls-- things we all do every day. This is a "must read" for every young business person.

Book Description
There are many lessons to be learned about work-family interaction. It is clear that some people have learned how to combine work and family in ways that are mutually supporting--at least much of the time--and some employers have created work environments and policies that make positive interdependence of these two spheres more likely to occur. This book discusses measures of work-family, conflict, policies designed to reduce conflict, comparisons with other industrialized nations, and reasons why family-friendly work-policies have not been adopted with enthusiasm. The purpose is to consider a broad range of topics that pertain to work and family with the goal of helping employers and working families understand the work-life options that are available so they can make choices that offer returns-on-investments to employers, families, and society at large that are consistent with personal and societal values.
This book brings together a superb panel of experts from different disciplines to look at work and family issues and the way they interact. Part I is an overview--with a brief discussion by a psychologist, economist, and a political scientist--each of whom provide their own interpretation of how their discipline views this hybrid field. Part II considers the business case of the question of why employers should invest in family-friendly work policies, followed by a section on the employer response to work family interactions. Families are the focus of the Part IV, followed by a look at children--many of whom are at the heart of work and family interaction.
Book Description
Growing up with two father figures, a Rich Dad and a Poor Dad, Robert T. Kiyosaki understood well the importance of financial planning. In this easy-to-read parenting guide, Kiyosaki and co-author Sharon Lechter design a step-by-step guide to moms and dads to explain to their children the basics of our financial economythe employees, the self-employed, the business owners, and the investors. The authors explain that providing children with financial problem-solving skills, can help to ensure a profitable future.
Download Description
RICH DAD'S RICH KID, SMART KID is written for parents who value education, want to give their child a financial and academic head start in life, and are willing to take an active role to make it happen. In the Information Age, a good education is more important than ever. But the current educational system may not be providing all the information your child needs. This book was designed to fill in the gaps, to help you give your child the same inspiring and practical financial knowledge that Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad gave him. RICH KID, SMART KID will show you how to awaken your child's love of learning using the same methods that Robert's smart dad used to help Robert stay in school, even though he had bad grades and often wanted to drop out. And RICH KID, SMART KID will open doors that you never knew existed, enabling you to pass down the skills and understanding your child will use for the rest of his or her life.
Customer Reviews:
A useful resource, worth the price.......2007-08-28
If you've read Robert T Kiyosaki's other books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad, the ideas presented in Rich Kid Smart Kid will probably not be new to you. However, the information is reorganised to focus on applying the Rich Dad concepts to the task of educating your child, which allows this book to remain a useful resource- even if it isn't 100% new.
Most helpful, in my opinion, are the parent-child interactive activities recommended by the book. For example, one suggestion is to take your child to the bank and ask the banker what interest rate they pay on savings as well as what they charge to borrow. Without the need to understand complicated math formulas, your child will quickly see that banks charge more than they pay, which will hopefully prompt questions in the mind of your child. Those questions will inspire your child to get answers that inevitably increase your child's financial intelligence.
One knock I often hear about this book, or any self-help title for that matter, is that the ideas are obvious. Some people wish to argue that because a concept is simple it is not useful. I couldn't disagree more. I try to judge the value of a thing by whether or not I get enough out of it to justify the cost, be it in dollars or time. If you cannot get the purchase price of this book back out of it in value, then you just aren't trying very hard.
While some of the concepts may seem obvious or simple in nature, it is the application of these concepts that produces real results. Some of the most complicated subjects in our world can involve very simple ideas. Think "What goes up, must come down." Simple, yes, but the practical applications involving gravity occupy a great deal of study time among physicists of the world.
My point is simple. This book gives you a variety of ideas and suggestions that will help you improve your child's financial education, but YOU have to be the one to do the work. Is it the world's greatest book and ultimate problem solver in the universe? No. Is it worth the purchase price? Without a doubt, absolutely yes.
Best Book My Daughter Has Read!.......2007-02-01
The title is her words not mine. I bought this book thinking that she might get through the first 3 or 4 chapters before she put it away in favor of her school work. Instead she carries it with her to school and reads it when she finishes her work. One of her teachers asked her about the book and after my daughter finished raving about it the teacher decided to get a copy for her self. That teacher now uses the book and it's principles in her classes.
What better testimony about a book than it is now being used in an academic setting?
My daughter has also surprised me by asking financial questions when we are alone. I am now in the middle of a job hunt and she asked me questions about what my salary would be with a new company. She listened intently as I explained negotiations over salary once I was offered a job. I explained the different factors that went into determining what I would ask for as a salary, such as distance to the new job, what others were making doing the same job, and benefits such as medical, dental, and of course vacation time. For an 11 year old she had an amazing grasp of what I was talking about. I believe this understanding came from reading this book. My son on the other hand, who is 24, is still working in a dead-end job making minimum wage. I gave him "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and the cover has never been broken.
Buy this book for your kids; it is well worth the "investment" to teach kids how money works. Do it now while they are young.
where is the information?.......2006-11-04
This isn't really a 260 page book, it's a 5 page pamphlet that repeats itself over and over.
Really there is nothing new here if you've read Rich Dad Poor Dad, beyond a shameless marketing co-promote for his games, other books and a few of his friends.
Overall I thought Rich Dad Poor Dad was a pretty good book. This book however made me realize that Mr. Kiyosaki really has discovered the secret to becoming rich - write one half way decent book and then milk it as long as you can with other related books and products.
Great audio book!.......2006-03-21
Great audio book. Gives you information to help you teach your kid about money, and ways to keep you from over indulging your kids.
Rich Dad's Rich Kid by Kiyosaki.......2005-06-10
The author suggests that parents empower children to take control
of their finances early in life. The author challenges us to turn
education about money into wealth and cash flow. Children are
encouraged to seek professional careers and to begin small
businesses to ensure cash flow well into retirement. The author's
Kolbe Index seeks to train people to analyze facts, formulate
follow-up scenarios, start projects quickly/efficiently and implement rational solutions devoid of analysis paralysis problems.
This work is well worth the money for the information content
provided.
Product Description
Simplified Chinese. Do you value your childs education? Do you want your children to have a financial head start in life? Are you willing to take an active role to make that happen? At school, your children learn many valuable concepts, yet they are rarely taught anything about finances. Imagine if you had been taught about money and, more specifically, about how the rich got that way by generating cash flow from their assets. For a kid, these lessons are vital to future financial well-being. But, better yet, children are excited and inspired by the message. Rich Dads Rich Kid Smart Kid is an introduction to the financial world for children. But more than that, it gives them the right context in which to view money from a very early age. This is the first step to take in ensuring your children have a better financial start than you might have had. Simplified Chinese. 265pp.
