Customer Reviews:
Speech .......2006-02-28
I trully enjoyed this book, even though I am not a fan of text books. It has helped me develop stronger speaking skills, and I am not very good at public speaking. It's not a how to book, its simply a guide which offers tips and ideas on how you should present various topics.
FINALLY, Someone who can teach public speaking!.......2002-02-02
As a college instructor of oral communication for ten years, I complained bitterly about the poor selection of books for beginning students--until now. This is the single best book of its kind on the market, bar none. In all my years, I've never had students brag on a book like this one: easy to read, well-organized, thoughtful, practical, visually attractive, and substantive. My best compliment is that I can teach three times the material in half the time just by using this text--and people understand it! I can't brag enough on the author's work. This is phenomenal. ANYONE who wants to master the basics of public speaking should read this cover to cover. The principles and techniques Mr. Gregory describes are effective, powerful, and described in a simple way. BRAVO! I'll recommend this to everyone.
VERY GOOD!.......2001-02-04
I'm a student at a local college here in Jersey City. I found this book very easy to read but doesn't defeat the purpose to inform. I really wish I can have him as my teacher.
THANKS HAMILTON!

This book helped me to get the job that I wanted........1998-05-01
After reading this book I was able to focus on my job search which in turn enabled me to get the job that I really wanted. It's not just a job anymore but a career. The book is reader friendly but at the same time not condescending. It's a great little book that packs a powerful punch. I suggest it highly to anyone who really wants to change their life.

From the supplier: Many Colorado businesses have shown their support for violence prevention as evidenced by the outpour of corporate donations to various charities following the Columbine massacre. This proves that the business community may never be able to guarantee that such crimes will not happen again, but it can ensure that the heinous deed will never be forgotten.

Book Description
Taming the Beast: Getting Violence out of the Workplace shatters the stereotype of what kind of worker suffers from post traumatic stress due to workplace violence. Nurses, teachers, retail sales clerks, flight attendants and corporate managers suffer the same symptoms as soldiers, police officers and security guards in the wake of verbal abuse, harassment or assault in the workplace. Using real stories and providing in-depth analysis of the problem in health care, education, human services, banking and retail and our largest corporations, Frema Engel shows how this problem affects hundreds of thousands of unlikely victims. She documents how a shooting rampage or other extreme incident originates in complacency about seemingly minor incidents. Taming the Beast is a practical introduction to workplace trauma for employees who want to understand how to cope with these incidents and for management who want guidance on how to respond and implement measures that will help prevent a recurrence.
Customer Reviews:
Valuable and Vital.......2004-11-01
They are subjects we don't like to discuss, yet they are vital to our well-being. Psychological harrassment and violence in the workplace are commonplace, and it's imperative that we deal with them. Frema Engel does a brilliant job of explaining the problems, through easy-to-read stories, and offers powerful solutions. This book should be on every manager's desk. A must read.
Violence Prevention: Case-by-Case.......2000-01-26
Frema Engel's book presents a practical, hands-on approach to identifying and reducing workplace violence. Her insights into the range of aggressive acts leading to violent behaviors are illustrated in her case-by-case examples from business, health care, and social service fields. This is a "must read" book for all levels of an organization, from the board room to the break room. Problems are not only presented, but solutions are found to prevent workplace violence: zero tolerance; confidential help lines; investigation and prosecution; crisis response; employee assistance. Engel does her homework, with good research and valid application.

Product Description
In this fascinating, yet unnerving follow-up to The Wilding of America, Charles Derber chronicles recent violent and individualistic trends that seem to be eroding the moral landscape of American society. From the alarming amount of school shootings to corporate greed, Derber argues that our behavior is breeding an antisocial mentality and dangerous economic and social violence.
