4 out of 5 stars Best for those just starting out.......2003-03-01

I think this book fulfills its title. It really lays out what to do in a job search from top to bottom. The book contains useful information in an easy to read format. Especially-useful information is shaded to stand out so you don't have to read a lot of fluff to get to the golden nuggets. The drawback is that although it contains many useful topics, I would have liked to see a bit more information on each those topics.

This is a good book to get a feel for the job-hunt process and to figure out which skills you might be lacking. Then, I would suggest going to another book that specializes in those skills.

4 out of 5 stars Godin at it again with another good book.......2000-04-02

Godin focuses on the true reality of why people get better jobs than others, despite the fact that they have the same credentials. If you are focusing on finding a job, and you just can't seem to do so, Seth Godin will help you get there. Godin is quick to assume that the most powerful way to get a job is to "market thy self," as WS would say. So I would recommend getting the book, and learning the ways to position yourself for success in the ever changing IT world

5 out of 5 stars Just the Best.......2006-07-18

This book is just fantastic - all the really hard stuff about DSP is explained clearly and simply, with loads of software snippets to show how the equations work. The book even shows how to build your own DSP system and program it. I always thought this stuff was for geniuses, but the book shows how mere mortals can do the same stuff. JUST GREAT!

    5 out of 5 stars An excelent graduate textbook.......2000-04-12

    As a Physics professor, I have used this book for five years as the main textbook for my course "Introduction to Superconductivity", typically attended by Physics majors and graduates. Beyond its unique "electrical engineering flavour" (including the detailed explanation of many potential applications of superconductors), there is a second major achievement: the systematic unification of the phenomenology of superconductivity using an explicit macroscopic quantum approach.

    This approach could be seen as a "mathematically softened" version of the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, which makes it very convenient for undergraduate and graduate students --being engineers or physicists. The presentation of the material is extremely clear, with a very careful notation (typical of electrical engineers!) and excellent graphic material. There are appendices ranging from vector identities and special functions to High Tc data, which make the book very self-consistent. I recommend it as a rigorous introduction to the phenomenology of superconductivity without any reserve. It is really a pity that --as far as I know--there's no exercise solution book available!

            3 out of 5 stars Lab Manual on simulation.......2006-01-15

            Most of the experiments are simple logic design such as decoder, AND, OR gates, which are implemented using schematics. Only a few experiments are based on VHDL. Therefore, you could almost ignore the CPLD in the book title, this book is more like digital electronics simulation using schematics capture, such as PSpice or Electronics Workbench. The only usage of CPLD in this book, is for the student to download and run the program. Anyway, since the experiments are pretty simple and straight forward, I think computer simulation alone would be sufficient.

            This book is target at student in their first digital electronics course. Don't be fooled by the term 'CPLD' in the book title.

            2 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money.......2003-04-09

            I bought this book thinking that you could actually learn something from the labs. I was actually disappointed. First of all, it uses an old version of what it is now known as Webpack 5.2i from Xilinx, or foundations. the examples are very bleek and take the assumption you took the lecture before you can perfom this lab.

            It is obvious this book is geard towards a technical school rather than an engineering school. There is not much you can learn from this book other than learning a lesson on how to be careful next time when buying books.

                As recommended by my graduate instructor, I used this book as a resource for my counseling internship and have helped me devise exercises for clients with anger management problems. It addresses the different angles of anger - including nutrition! in the most user-friendly and accessible manner. It is chock-full of practical steps designed to address different sets of client needs. Do not be fooled by the date of publication - this book is as current today as it was when it was first published.

                5 out of 5 stars A very practical, helpful and effective workbook........1999-11-10

                This workbook is a very effective, practical and useful tool to better understand and manage anger. As with all self-help workbooks, the reader must be serious about learning or fixing their own anger problem. I found it very relieving and a source of peace to finally have a solution to the problem of anger.I coupled it with my Christian beliefs and found it effective. The author understands the problem and deals with it in on-nonsense fashion. But, the reader must WORK at the process. If you're angery and don't know why or if you're angry and want to fix the problem, save the $110.00 per hour you'll pay a shrink and do this book first...they are probably copying his outline anyway!

                Book Description

                A recent study of productivity in the workplace revealed that workers spend on average eight percent of their workday doing nothing. This statistic takes on greater significance when we find that health problems impact employee productivity loss by an even greater percentage. In light of this discovery, a group of leading experts from the emerging field of health and productivity research argues that the expansion of health care benefits represents a substantial investment opportunity for employers.

                Health and Work Productivity presents state-of-the-art health and productivity research that suggests interventions aimed at prevention, early detection, and best-practice treatment of workers along with an informed allocation strategy can produce significant cost-benefits for employers. Contributors cover all the major aspects of this new area of research: approaches to studying the effects of health on productivity, ways for employers to estimate the costs of productivity loss, concrete suggestions for future research developments in the area, and the implications of this research for public policy.

                5 out of 5 stars Health and Work Productivity.......2007-02-13

                This is an excellent review of the business case for the health and productivity movement that has become popular in business today. It makes the business case for looking at benefits as adding value to the organization by increasing productivity. Healthcare has long been viewed as merely a benefit and a money drain, but in this new perspective human capital is looked on as a manageable asset that can be optimized. It is important to use a data driven system in order for this optimization to occur. If you are in occupational health or benefits this is a must read to understand the groundwork for the new perspective on health and productivity and allow you to develop a business case for the development of your own program.

                4 out of 5 stars A classic.......2000-10-21

                Healthy Work is a classic--though currently under-appreciated--work on organizations. It is a book of great breadth and richness that deserves more than one reading. Healthy Work is a "must read" for those concerned with creating healthy organizations. It describes the demand-control model, which has had a huge influence on research on work and health. The model was prompted by Karasek's concern about the consequences of demand-control imbalances in the workplace. Karasek and Theorell provide a vision of humane organizations in which employees can master challenges and experience personal growth. Healthy Work is not an easy read, but it is a "must read" for OD practitioners, OB professors, and those concerned with improving life in organizations. It challenges us to improve the "psychic prisons" in which many employees--unfortunately--spend much of their waking hours.
