Book Description

Of all the skill sets that support the shift from a traditional management role to a more collaborative approach, none is more relevant than that of the role of the facilitator. The beliefs, behaviors, and practices of facilitation are precisely what all leaders need to acquire and put into action. In Facilitating to Lead! renowned facilitation expert Ingrid Bens applies her proven concepts of facilitation to the leadership role and demonstrates that facilitation is an effective work style, not merely a meeting technique. Throughout the book, Bens outlines the organizational and personal benefits of facilitative leadership and includes useful checklists to help leaders determine the situations when facilitative leadership is most appropriate to apply. Because empowerment is a core issue in the implementation of facilitative leadership, the book presents a four-level model that reframes empowerment from a vague concept to a concrete structuring tool.

A great practical book to back up work with teams.......2001-10-17

Belbin has become one of the world experts on teams, and written a number of books on team work, and has a web site devoted to his consulting business on teams. You can get profiles done on line etc. Whilst I don't think his work is leading edge on group dynamics and the complexity of human teams, he offers a great practical methodology for working with people on teams. I have used this material with real success with real managers and real people in the work place, and it has been a useful catalyst for improving peoples understanding of different styles and roles, and how to work to peoples natural strengths.

Identify eight prototypes of team roles.......1999-10-13

The MECE of the eight roles are doubtful, making the analysis on team strengths difficult to be brought into practice.

It is a nice try to do a MECE classification on team roles, but there are still room for improvements in this book.

Invaluable handbook for better performing teams.......1999-04-05

This is the authorative update on the English team guru's work on high performing teams. Less academic than his earlier seminal work, really focussed on the team at work. There's plenty of new stuff as well: Belbin's thoughts on the evolution of HR strategies, team leaders and the eligibilty versus suitabilty issue are all well explored.

Managers needs this to learn how their teams tick. Trainers need it to facilitate learning. Individuals need it to understand their own roles and to be comfortable with them.

Business Week recently reported that self-directed work teams are, on average, 30% to 50% more productive than their conventional counterparts.

The problem is that making the transition to a team environment requires a different type of leadership philosophy. This insightful book takes you through a sequential process that will enable you to:

* Manage the balance between the technical aspects of team functions and the dynamics of the human interactions that are at the core of any team's success.
* Focus on the communication process that will ensure the learning content is portrayed in a positive way.
* Run accurate pilot tests of improved team processes.

The closing chapter presents a checklist for leading successful transitions and serves as a handy reference guide. SPECIAL FEATURES:

Rather Casual Overview.......2007-07-20

This discussion offers a rather general level overview of Belbin's work at approximately the same level of detail found on many book jackets. Perhaps some of the original depth came through the illustration that is omitted in this Reprint. To derive practical application of Belbin's valuable Team Role Theory, you'll need to actually read Belbin's "Management Teams" or "Team Roles at Work." Net, this "discussion" offers only enough tantalizing overview to encourage you to read the Belbin books...which I also strongly encourage.

Book Description

In Murder Mayhem, Dr. Doug Lyle culls the best of his popular 'The Doctor is In' QA column for the Mystery Writers of America, in which he answers medical and forensic questions from writers all over the country.

Execellent Resource for Writers.......2007-09-22

This volume contains detailed description of the why and wherefore of injury suffered to the human body. It covers injuries both traumatic and violent or otherwise... and treatments for. Highly recommended reading for the serious writer and the curious reader alike.

I've used this book as a reference while writing my first novel. Its very helpful. I'll use it again on my next. Cold Eyes

GREAT reference book.......2006-09-04

I have used this book numerous times since I purchased it new a year ago. If the answer I'm searching for isn't in this book, Lyle gives enough general information that I know what questions to ask my medical contacts when I touch base with them.

Definately worth full price, this book is packed with timely and detailed information mystery and crime writers need today.

Book Description

Follow the riotous, raucous exploits of Dr. Billy Hero and his Brooklyn band of crusaders as they beat back the forces of Ming the Merciless. A group of psychopathic scientists has taken over Brookhaven National Laboratory, and they are leaking cancer-causing radioactive material into the earth of Suffolk County. The good doctor is framed for the murder of the Surgeon General. A renegade G-man is on the take to a Mad Scientist who is developing a Nuclear Death Ray at Brookhaven Labs. The byproduct of the evil plan pollutes the Good Earth with cancer-causing radioactivity and the forces of good put an end to the skullduggery with explosive consequences. This story is an irreverent foray into the shadowy world of medical politics and the sinister underworld of New York City. The focal point of the novel is taken from current headlines, the extraordinarily high incidence of breast cancer on Long Island, and is incorporated into a fictional adventure story peppered with colorful ribald characters and exciting plot twists.

Book Description

Forensic Pharmacology offers a unique and comprehensible account of pharmacological methods and knowledge, and how to use them to solve problems in crimes from drunken driving to murder. It also deals with negligence in giving drugs, and adverse reactions to drugs. The text is enlivened by cases from the literature and from the authors' experience. Appendices give detailed examples of pharmacological problems and their solutions; tables and equations for alcohol calculations; and data for medicines encountered in forensic work. Experts do not always understand what lawyers want of them, and lawyers fail to appreciate that experts in medicine and pharmacology may not be experts in the law. The section entitled 'legal considerations' was written by a barrister with wide experience of using expert evidence and explains clearly the legal principles. It also contains some helpful hints on how to deal with court procedure and adversarial lawyers.

Book Description

War and Mayhem is a retrospective account of the events of the first half of the twentieth century as experienced by the citizens of Vienna and comes in three parts.

The first part provides the historical material which was culled from the most up to date scholarly publications on this topic. The second part presents the personal experiences of the author growing up in a "dysfunctional" family during the Nazi occupation. It shows what it was really like to live under a totalitarian regime, especially when one was, in addition, "non-Aryan." It also illustrates the terrible toll WWII had taken on lives and property and describes how ordinary citizens coped during Nazi and Soviet occupation. The third part discusses in more detail the ideas which motivated Hitler, the antecedents to the Holocaust and how the solutions arrived at during the twentieth century will inevitably become problems in the twenty first.

The book, written in simple language with an Austrian accent, is well illustrated and intended for the general public. More specifically: WWII veterans of the Allied forces may be interested in getting a glimpse of what it was like on the enemy side. College students can benefit by realizing that history is not just something "about dead white males" but a force which directly affects people's lives, including their own in the future. Austrian Mittelschul students in the Oberstufe might enjoy reading about the lives of their grandparents in the English language thereby learning history as well as English. Jewish readers might want to know why there was such a massive aversion against the Jewish "race."

There is no doubt that some of the opinions presented will be regarded as controversial but unless one sees and understands both sides of the coin no progress toward a more humane world is possible. The author's hope is that by showing past follies people might become more open minded, less swayed by propaganda and will conduct themselves in their daily lives in a manner which may eventually allow the emergence of a saner world.

The Importance of "War and Mayhem".......2001-02-21

Ernst Rodin's "War and Mayhem" is a must-read for students of the Holocaust and for anyone interested in understanding how Adolf Hitler managed to captivate and ultimately cripple Germany in the period between 1933 and 1945.

Rodin is a mischling, or "impure" Austrian, who nevertheless gets drafted into the Wehrmacht. In "War and Mayhem," he looks back on his life and offers us two points of view that are skillfully woven together: an eyewitness account of what it was like to be a young man growing up in Vienna during Hitler's rise to power; and an analysis of the most cataclysmic period in modern history from the perspective of an adult survivor.

Rodin's book is accessible and engaging. We follow young Ernst to school, a place he has little use for in his younger years, and to the summer swimming parks that he and his older brother sneak into because they cannot afford admission. We suffer along with him as he loses his biological father, a "ne'er-do-well" who abandons the family, and we hope, in vain, that his mother's second husband will somehow fill the void left by his biological father.

At the same time, Rodin, a retired neurologist, now living in Utah, offers us an adult perspective on how the day-to-day events of his childhood were being played out against a much larger and unsettling screen. He captures the flavor of pre-war Vienna and offers unique insight into factors that contributed to the latent, simmering anti-Semitism of the era, anti-Semitism that boiled over so viciously after Hitler came into power. Rodin is careful to explain historical factors that led to the Anschluss and includes valuable information about Austrian clergy and politicians, whose roles in the 30's and 40's have not been well-detailed in other books written about this time period.

As an avid reader of World War II-era non-fiction, I've read books written by Jewish authors, Christian authors, American authors, German authors. What intrigues me about "War and Mayhem" is Ernst Rodin's distinctive point of view. Rodin fought in the Werhmacht, yet was considered "less than German" because his maternal grandfather was Jewish. He suffered from anti-Semitism at school but is quite candid in his observations about how Jews in Vienna were easily targeted for mistreatment because they did little to embrace the community at large. His tone is straightforward, always honest, always enlightening.

I recommend Ernst Rodin's "War and Mayhem" to every historian and layperson interested in reading a first-rate account of life in Vienna before and immediately after World War II. Rodin's final assessment of the events he witnessed deserves our immediate and collective attention: given the right conditions, history could easily repeat itself.

Product Description

Medical Mayhem proves that staying healthy rarely goes as planned. And with today's high-tech medicine and crazy diet kicks, you've got to be ready for anything. Laughter makes it all possible. It's a prescription for feeling better with maximum refills and no expiration date!

Book Description

Over the past 150 years the acknowledged dates for the formation of the Earth and the origin of Life have been pushed steadily back into the remote past. As these timescales have lengthened however, the interval between the two dates has reduced so much so that it has left us with a serious conundrum: the interval between the formation of the Earth (or at least a surface capable of supporting life) and the appearance of life is simply too short for life to have come into existence from scratch.

The key questions thrown up by this problem of timing are addressed for the first time in The Feathered Onion. Is the Earth older than we think? Could life on Earth really have developed incredibly rapidly? Did life originate elsewhere and then find its way to our planet? Clive Trotman explores the science and potential of these theories with explanations of the latest scientific techniques and their implications for our current understanding of where we came from.

Customer Reviews:

Hundred million years are not enough for the origin of life .......2004-12-01

I agree with Trotman's main claim that the earliest forms of life on earth must have been irreducibly complex. Irreducible Complexity does not imply a designer, because it describes the state of a system, not its origin. Trotman argues for an extraterrestrial origin of life without attacking neo-Darwinism. The Feathered Onion is far more than a defence of panspermia. Trotman's book is a courageous, ingenious and successful attempt to identify irreducible complexity as the essence of life, without resorting to intelligent design.
The book itself is a pleasure to read, well designed, and accessible. High value, low price.
