A long waited book regarding manners in this high-tech world.......2002-10-22

We live in the age of technology; computers, palm
pilots, faxes, cell phones, and emails are all part of most
people's lives. So how do we maximize the uses of
technology in a concise and conscientious way?
I picked up this book because I was fed up with never
knowing for sure what the rules are when it comes to
"the proper manners regarding high tech".
Communication is very difficult, made even harder by
the 'words only' content of email. Today we are
interacting primarily in email or on cell phones or even through
faxes with our customers and the management chain. It
is crucial to present one's self in the best possible
light. Mrs. High in this book adopts a wonderfully
easy reading style, that is light-hearted and yet to
the point. The author escorts you through
your improvement and growth of the utilization of
multiple high tech mediums. The more I read, the more
I wished I could just sit down and talk to this author
in person. A very interesting read by a very
interesting author. If you are a new email writer
looking for some guidance, or an old hack that has
forgotten some of the basics and needs some
improvement, then this is a great place to start.
Young people, particularly, highly oriented to
computers and email will benefit greatly from this
book. So will people in administrative roles where
writing clearly and succinctly is so critically
important in this sped-up world. In fact, I have bought
a few additional copies and given them to some of my
coworker, just as a reference tool.
Cyberspace has its own culture. To top it all off,
people from every culture are online and are
communicating more than ever before. If you have
committed social blunders and don't want to offend
others, then this is the book for you. It is etiquette
in cyberspace.

You need this book!.......2002-10-18

Jana High has a terrific grasp on the reality of today's business world. With so many business people being so busy, many have forgotten the niceties(actually the necessities) of life that will get you and your business where you want to be for the long haul. Many companies come out of the shoot with a flash and then fizzle to nothing - there are many reasons for this, but if you read this book, you can learn how to increase your chances for success. Learn how to respect your employees and your customers! The definition of etiquette in Webster's New World Dictionary is: manners conventionally required in society. Yes folks, a requirement, not a suggestion. Give a copy of this book to all your friends and employees! It will pay for itself ten-fold.

High-Tech Etiquette: Perfecting the Art of Plugged-In Polite.......2002-10-17

In this day where even the common verbal courtesies are forgotten, this is a great manual for learning the proper manners for using e-mail. Clear, concise and entertaining, it's a quick read filled with great advice.

Ms. High takes you easily from the basics of using e-mail including whether it's appropriate to extend invitations, send thank-you notes, or inform friends and families of a death of a friend or loved one. She touches on what seem to be areas of common sense such as salutations and closings, but items which are often forgotten.

Useful information is also given regarding emoticons and e-mail terms as well as good guidelines for sending attachments.

This book, however, is not limited to the use of e-mail. Ms. High also does a good job in covering the use of fax machines and cell phones. Her section cell phone courtesies should be mandatory reading for anyone who has or is going to buy a cell phone.

After reading this book, I was tempted to send copies off to several well-placed executives as a "gentle reminder" of good manners in the workplace and in public!

One book for all your high tech etiquette needs!.......2002-10-17

This is an amazing book that covers all grounds.

A book like this was needed for a long time now. I really enjoyed how it was written to include both a personal touch of narratives and professional steps to achieve proper `netiquette'. Easy reading makes for a wonderfully crafted work.

If you use e-mails, faxes, voice mails, cell phones, etc. in your everyday life (work and home), this book will have you communicating like you were trained at Windsor Castle.

"Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." said by Clarence Thomas. I agree, and this book should have you opening those doors.

Book Description

"The Sleeping Giant" is the fastest-growing minority group in the U.S.--the Hispanic community. Hispanics, especially Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Mexicans, are changing society and the church. As a second-generation Puerto Rican, born and reared in El Barrio of New York City, Manuel Ortiz knows first-hand what it is like to be a Hispanic in the U.S. As a sociologist, he recognizes the exciting potential for the future of the church--if leadership development is undertaken.Oritz first explores the unique needs and concerns of Hispanics in the U.S. Then he turns to key missiological issues, including Protestant-Catholic relationships, justice, racial reconcilliation and ecclesiastical structures. Ortiz has interviewed numerous Hispanic leaders working in a variety of contexts and describes their models for ministry. Finally, the book focuses on leadership training and education, with a particular emphasis on developing second-generation leadership.The sleeping giant must not be ignored. This is a book that will awaken awareness of the possibilities of the Hispanic church.

Book Description

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: these words have long represented the promise of America. Touted by poets, pundits, and politicians, the American Dream is the spark that animates American life, the promise held out to youngsters and immigrants that hard work will result in security and prosperity.

The reality of that Dream, however, has long depended on the circumstances of the dreamer, since many have been effectively barred from pursuing it. In this book Cal Jillson examines America's complex and evolving social land-scape to show the contexts that have shaped the Dream and the patterns of exclusion that have left some dreaming in vain.

Jillson offers the fullest exploration yet of the origins and evolution of the ideal that serves as the foundation of our national ethos and collective self-image. By placing opportunity and aspiration at the center of the American Creed, the Dream has become a force for expanding opportunity. Jillson traces this ideal to its origins and chronicles its progress to the present day. He explores the Dream's changing content and our broadening sense of who has had the right to pursue it, charting a middle course between viewing the Dream as triumphant ideal and false promise.

Marked by continuity, renewal, and expansion, the image of the Dream, Jillson contends, has been remarkably constant since well before the American Revolution-an image of a nation offering a better chance for prosperity than any other. His book reveals how that Dream has motivated our nation's leaders and common citizens to move, sometimes grudgingly, toward a more open, diverse, and genuinely competitive society.

Pursuing the American Dream not only attests to a lasting vision, it also serves notice to those who govern that our society and economy must remain open to competition and opportunity. Indeed, Jillson reminds us all that it takes action-in the form of policy initiatives focusing on such matters as education, health care, and employment-to ensure that all Americans have a fair chance to compete with their fellow citizens for the good things in life, and to secure the American Dream for future generations.

Book Description

An accessible call to shift the way we view the role of men and women, based on a high view of Scripture, reexamining the way we interpret what is normative for all time to see how the Spirit is pointing the church to complete gender equality and freedom for women to pursue their calling before God.

Appreciation.......2006-09-05

I truly appreciate Dr. Scorgies book sharing God's desire for men and women and how we need to reinstate that in our world. I belong to a denomiation that view women as equals and are permited to be Ordained as an Elder and be a Senior Pastor of a church.

Worth a Look.......2006-05-31

I recommend this book. It is culturally relevant and sensitive to truth. The author is innovative yet grounded in dialogue with past and present scholars. Many Christians (and others) have adopted a stance on gender issues without really articulating their own posture. Here a person will find fresh ideas. The book will create tension for one who opposes the viewpoints espoused by the author; however, in considering such perspectives an individual is better prepared for debate, if not a change in outlook. The author outlines several compelling cases for gender equality, frequently using concepts (such as trajectory of the spirit) that have eluded the mainstream. Given that young couples and unmarried individuals often view the gender code through a lens muddled by dogma or a few, partially-explored scriptures (i.e. Ephesians 5:22-33), this insightful exhibit should be added to the public discussion.

Book Description

"Equality of opportunity for all" is a fine piece of political rhetoric but the ideal that lies behind it is slippery to say the least. Some see it as an alternative to a more robust form of egalitarianism, whilst others think that when it is properly understood it provides us with a real radical vision of what it is to level the playing field. This book combines a meritocratic conception of equality of opportunity that governs access to advantaged social positions, with redistributive principles that seek to mitigate the effects of differences in people's circumstances. Taken together, these spell out what it is to level the playing field in the way that justice requires. Oxford Political Theory presents the best new work in contemporary political theory. It is intended to be broad in scope, including original contributions to political philosophy, and also work in applied political theory. The series will contain works of outstanding quality with no restriction as to approach or subject matter. Series Editors: Will Kymlicka, David Miller, and Alan Ryan
