Book Description

"The author’s analysis is very up-to-date, for he includes chapters on very recent analyses of teams, such as questions of diversity and teams-communicating-via-computers…. The book’s key strength is its aim to help students and professionals better understand the groups to which they belong by reviewing key concepts in the area of groups."

--Donelson R. Forsyth, Virginia Commonweath University

Group Dynamics for Teams provides a clear and concise overview of group dynamics as it relates to work teams. The book is designed to be a bridge between psychological research on how groups operate and the applied study of the use of teams at work, with the ultimate goal of teaching people how to work effectively in teams. The book begins with an overview of how teams are being used at work and the factors that relate to team success. The second section of the book examines basic group dynamics topics, such as goals, norms, cooperation, and communication. The third section reviews the main challenges that teams face, including conflict, decision-making, problem solving, creativity, and valuing diversity. The final section analyzes the use of teams in the workplace, including the impact of organizational culture, technological support for teams, differences among types of work teams, and team building. Each chapter contains learning objectives, summaries, and activities intended to help understand how teams operate. The book has an applied focus that is designed to help students and professionals improve their abilities to work in teams.

A Good Introductory Book.......2006-01-20

It covers a breadth of various topics in Group Dynamics. It doesn't go into too much depth though but it suffices in getting the reader's feet wet on the subject.

Book Description

Never Underestimate the Power of an Effective Team As today's businesses increasingly structure work around teams, it's more important than ever for students to understand group processes. Through the research summaries and case studies of this text, students will learn valuable theory and develop a rich picture of teams in action. Blending theory and practice in areas such as team design, team social processes, and team effectiveness provides them with a realistic view of how teams function in actual work organizations. The combination of research and case examples also shows students how to help teams become more effective. Because key concepts are specifically presented in and applied to business settings, students can gain a real-world perspective of ways they can influence teams. They'll not only learn the complex issues associated with teams, but they'll not only learn the complex issues associated with teams, but they'll also develop tools to succeed as designers, leaders, and members. Special Features of the Text:
* Numerous examples are included to clearly illustrate important theoretical points.
* Theory and research is summarized in a non-technical style that is applied to situations familiar to students.
* Each unit includes a short scenario that provides students with the perspective of someone who is actually involved with teams in an organizational setting.
* Relationships between group theories and business goals (e.g., increasing profit, providing a motivating work environment) are discussed throughout.

Walking On The Moon.......2006-01-01

Shift Officer Denys Duchamp of the mining ship Hatton was bored and hungry - hungry not only for decent-tasting food, but also for some female companionship. Unfortunately, this was not like other missions, where the crew could just land on a planet and take some R&R. This was a super-secret mission into the past that was being guided by The Book. In order to save their worlds in the present, they had to go to the past and mine a deposit of a rare ore only found on Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. And they definitely couldn't let anyone from 21st century Earth know of their presence in their time. It was quite a problem, then, that six of the men under Duchamp's command, accidentally - sort of - kidnapped an American tourist and brought her back to the ship. What was Mr. Duchamp going to do with Claudia Cameron, TV chef and caterer, and how was he going to keep the dreaded Captain Andrews from pushing her out of the airlock to protect their mission?

I think Sizemore is one of the best writers in the time travel genre, and I have always enjoyed her books. This one is no exception! Most of the time travel novels that I have read deal with a modern hero or heroine transporting from the 21st century to the Middle Ages or earlier. That's why this one involving a spaceship and crew coming from our future to the 21st century struck me as unusual. The characters are very realistically drawn, with a great sense of humor. Duchamp is a likeable, earnest officer desperately trying to do the right thing. Claudia Cameron is a strong, smart woman who keeps Duchamp on his toes. Even the secondary characters have distinct personalities. I particularly liked the six crew members reporting to Duchamp, who would give the Keystone Kops a run for their money as the comic relief. While this novel is sensual, and includes somewhat explicit love scenes, it is primarily a science fiction novel with romantic elements. Sizemore skillfully combines the genres into a seamless whole, resulting in a book that I just couldn't put down!-- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)

Full Moon Stories.......2000-04-29

This book of stories is a rare treat to read. I couldn't get onto the next story fast enough. With each tale I was pulled straight into the home and at the knees of the storyteller, Grandpa Iron. I "became" one of his grandchildren, smudged by the cedar, leaning forward to hear every detail of the story about horse, moose, mole, swallow, and the nine other animals, one for each poetically descriptive Full Moon of the year such as "Moon of the Popping Trees" in December with turtle. I, like Grandpa Iron's grandchildren, relish and believe the stories! How hard it must have been for the children to wait one whole month for each new story.

I love the illustrations, both paintings and colored pencil drawings. They convey the character and movement of the animals so well. The colors are bright and entrancing; and the symbols painted on the animals are intriguing. They look so like the pictographs I have seen painted on hides in museums and reproduced from ledger books. There are stars, moon, lightning, mountains, the sun, and other ones which are yet a mystery to me.

Book Description

Serious Hikes for Serious Walkers.......2006-03-13

Los Angeles has a lot of neat countryside to explore if you know where to look. When I first came to the LA basin from Idaho, I was overwhelmed by the suburban sprawl, but I quickly found lots of nice outdoor experiences nearby. This book will help anyone else looking to escape the city for a few hours (or days). It features over 80 hikes all within 2 hours of LA.

I've hiked about a third of the trails described in this guide and all are nice. With time off in April, I expect to explore more. By way of a warning though, you will need to be reasonably fit to do many of these hikes. Most are 5 to 10 miles long, often with substantial elevation gain. Several are shorter, but a few are quite challenging. Happily, the authors also provide options for shortening (and sometimes lengthening) your walks. The bulk of the hikes listed are in the San Gabriel Mountains and Santa Monica National Recreation Areas. A few selections from Orange County, Palos Verde and Catalina Island round out the book. On the whole, this book is an excellent investment in fun and exploration.
