From proving past performance to translating military skills.......2004-04-14
Carl Savino and Ronald Krannich's Military Resumes And Cover Letters also appears in its second edition to update details on incorporating a military background into an attention-grabbing civilian resume. From proving past performance to translating military skills into civilian job requirements, this provides plenty of practical applications.
March on out and git this book.......2001-03-29
Fantastic! Savino's best work by far. The writing is cogent, concise, insightful with a dash of humor. This one deserves a military fly by.

Customer Reviews:
Don't bother with this one!.......2005-03-27
As a tool to aide in "de-militarizing" your résumé, pass this one right on by. It's a poorly disguised generic how to write a résumé book that offers a few good suggestions in general, but nothing specific to the military. Nothing is addressed about the unique mind-set and terminology that is so predominant in the military, nor does it address the need to translate military terminology and phraseology into non-military friendly wording.
If you're looking for information on how to transition your résumé into something head-hunters and potential employees would be interested in, keep looking. There are other books that actually understand what it is to be in the military as well as what civilian employers are looking for. I just wish I'd saved my money on this one.

Customer Reviews:
Practical, yet challenging.......2003-09-25
Collaborative Spunk: The Feisty Guide for Reviving People and Our Planet is an ideal guide for people like me, who care deeply about the state of our planet. I have often felt frustrated because it seems like the efforts of one individual cannot be enough to reverse the downward ecological, economic, and socio-political spiral in which we've been trapped. This book, by combining solid scientific principles with collaboration on a grassroots level, provides us with a way forward that can work. I strongly recommend it to anyone who truly wants to 'make a difference'.
great book.......2003-08-12
This book should be read by anyone interested in sustainability. The author has an interesting perspective on development and is highly recommended.
Zesty, go-getting and highly recommended.......2003-02-09

Great Book for Union Stewards who CARE!.......2007-05-07
This book is a good reference tool for the novice Union Steward, and I recommend it to anyone who is currently a Union Steward. Lots of insightful tips!
Great for any shop steward.......2007-03-14
This is a great resource for old and new stewards alike. Everything is broken down into easy to look up categories that give information from health and safety to conducting a meeting. I highly recommend it.
New, 2006 edition.......2006-02-14
A new, updated and expanded edition was published in 2006; the original was published in 1997. Be sure you're seeing the latest version.
Not Very Informative........2001-01-06
Has some good topics discussed. Would not recommend this book as a starter in labor law.
Great not just for stewards!.......2000-12-04
This manual (perhaps we should call it a union bible) is presented in a very easy to read and enjoyable layout.
The producers and editors of this manual did a great job. It's fun to read even the most boring things that a steward has to do!
However, I don't even belong to a union. We're in the process of organizing and this book provided great ideas. A section that deals with bringing the co-workers together is great! It's a fresh reminder that Unions are only as good as the workers and workers need to fight every bit as hard as the local/international does to protect them and fight for them.
Get this manual, well worth the price!
Book Description
Compiled by members of the Midwest Academy this book is a bible for anyone who wants to effectively organize to change the quality of their lives or the lives of others. Now in its third edition this book has already sold 60,000 copies in all of its editions since 1991. With new information on the trends, technology, and concerns of the new millennium, this edition of Organizing for Social Change will help concerned citizens bring about needed changes by learning from the experiences of those who have succeeded.
Customer Reviews:
Not as good as their old mimeographs.......2005-09-09
This book is disappointing. While it may help a college student or other really new person grasp some of the concepts of organizing it is not useful to practioners.
The Midwest Academy used to have a very good training manual covering many issues. As the book got slicker looking the information got worse.
Get Shel Trapp's old Basics of Organizing instead - much more useful, and free on the internet.
This is it!.......2002-04-13
This manual takes you through waht you need to know about organizing. From strategy development to research to implementation, this book shows you how to do it. Well written and simple to understand. Outstanding reference for novice to experienced organizer.
The best purchase you can make and you won't need to buy others.
Book Description
This book is for anyone who has ever volunteered to lead a seminar or run a workshop, or for anyone who has ever been cajoled into chairing a meeting or leading a group. Novice facilitators may recognize the anxiety that accompanies the first encounter with an assembled group. Even seasoned veterans often wonder how to excite and engage their audience more effectively and more often. The exercises in this book will deliver these results. Designed to be used in a variety of settings, these exercises will benefit all professional and personal organizations, from business meetings to adult education seminars to therapy groups. They may also be adapted for use with various age groups, ability levels, and diverse backgrounds. In order to meet the needs of busy facilitators, the exercises are written in simple, accessible language, and delineate clear objectives, materials and time required, as well as optimal group size. Even the implementation of just 3-4 exercises will lead to improved group performance and enjoyment. An entire section is also devoted to evaluation, and how to implement creative formats for evaluating groups. Social workers, rehabilitation counselors, criminologists, psychologists, nurses, educators, human resource and business managerial staff, community leaders.

An Excellent Book & a Must have!.......2004-02-17
This book, which I found totally by accident, is a wonderful book filled with many beautiful pictures. This is a museum guide book to the Munich Residence and the Treasury. It shows many of the artwork, relics, statues (including St. George and the Dragon), Vestments, and many of the impressive rooms. It had alot of history on most of the items that are there and if you should have the distinct pleasure of being able to go to the Residenz, you should take this book along with you or at least read it before you go. It will help you appreciate the trip more!

Book Description
How Internet Radio Can Change the World: An Activist's Handbook is essential reading for trade unionists, environmental campaigners, human rights activists -- anyone who is working to change the world. Author Eric Lee has pioneered the use of the Internet by unions around the globe, and the website he established in 1998, LabourStart, now appears in 19 languages and is used by thousands of activists every day. In early 2004, the author launched the first online labor radio station and this book reveals exactly what was involved in setting it up. It also delves into the short history of Internet radio, revealing how what began as a radical project to reinvigorate the liberal wing of the Democratic Party was turned into a commercial success -- and yet remains a vital tool for activists. The book clearly explains both how to listen to Internet radio -- and how to set up your own station.

Never leave home without it!.......2003-09-21
Before I read Quentin's book, I lived my life as one whom he describes in the book; I ran about willy nilly, living others' lives as if they were my own, suffering from their disasters as much as they did. I frittered away enough personal energy to light several skyscrapers, and wondered why I was so very drained all the time. Taking an interest in others' lives, WITHOUT becoming emotionally involved, literally, saved my life. I have learned from Quentin that I can just listen to mere acquaintances, many of whom are drama addicts looking only for a forum, and then move on to what truly interests me. This is not being shallow; this is protecting yourself from those takers of the world, who, as Quentin says, "...are infinite and insatiable." This practice of tuning out the banal has allowed me to have the energy to devote to my husband, son and family, who deserve my energy.
I employ "Crisperanto" and the little white lie, nearly every day of my life. This has protected me and given others the satisfaction of being heard. Instead of standing on my head to avoid the takers of the world, I have learned to assertively and diplomatically put them off.
If I could, I would require that this book become part of school curriculums the world over. Members of the Senate, Congress, and the President should be coached, DAILY, in the art of "Crisperanto." Using "Crisperanto" could very well have prevented the "need" to go to war, at various and sundry times in our country's history.
I will continue to honor Quentin's memory by using "Manners from Heaven" as my bible.
He knows his subject(s)........2000-08-30
Quentin Crisp is the only writer on social behaviour able to discern manners from etiquette. Miss Manners, Emily Post or any of the other "society" ladies have never been able to make this distinction. He is also the only writer (in other works) able to clearly define style, so it is evident that we must pay attention. Rather than prattle on about how to behave in such-and-such a situation, he gives general guidlines for good behaviour using witty and entertaining anecdotes. This is not a reference book (as well a book on etiquette might be), but a lively discussion of manners, of how to make others feel welcome in your presence.
A guide to good manners that will not terrify.......2000-05-09
Mr Crisp has (with the help of co-writer John Hofsess) written a fine guide to manners in the troubling modern age, with all its noise and haste, where what once was impolite or unthinkable is now enpowering. Crisp sees a world devouring itself, and sees good manners and civility as a way of rectifying this. His chief point - that manners are a way of getting what we want without appearing an absolute swine. They are a way of making everyone happier and more comfortable, rather than a dusty old set of exclusionary rules.
The language is fluid, dare I say crisp, and overflowing with wit, and has the authoritative, wisened, grandfatherly tone of one who has seen it all. It is caustic and by no means conventional - for example, he feels that telling the truth all the time is not the best idea for smooth social relations - "The lie is the basic building block of good manners."
Concise, knowing, acid and honest.
