I highly recommend Secrets to Enliven Learning!.......1999-02-02

Secrets to Enliven Learning by Ann Petit is the perfect handbook for anyone who wants to learn the basics of a specialized skill-developing training manuals. It's a simple, effective, well-written, and practical guide for new and experienced trainers.

Six months ago, I didn't know anything about how to train people. Then my manager asked me to write a training manual about new software used in my company. Someone recommended Secrets to Enliven Learning as a place to start. It made the basics of training very easy to understand and apply in my work, and I enjoyed reading it.

I patterned my manual on what I learned from Secrets to Enliven Learning. The training manual is finished, and has been used by about 50 trainees. They all liked it and learned what they needed to know to use the software in an effective way. My manager was pleased with what I accomplished, and I'm seriously considering a move into the field of training.

I highly recommend Secrets to Enliven Learning!

Book Description

What if... every time you wanted something from your boss you had a successful strategy to go about getting it?

What if ...every time you wanted to convince your spouse you had a set of techniques that would help you succeed?

What if ... every time you wanted to persuade a client or customer of something you had the steps to get you there?

Well, now you can! In her book, Winning! Using Lawyers' Courtroom Techniques To Get Your Way In Everyday Situations, Noelle C. Nelson, a nationally respected trial consultant, gives you the persuasion skills used by successful trial lawyers so you can effectively persuade others to get what you want. No more threatening, pleading, bargaining, crying, yelling, arguing or getting hysterical! Dr. Nelson shows you how to develop a winning strategy to get what you want, time and time again.

Persuasion is about carefully designing and expressing your point of view in a way that wins people over without "arguing" in the traditional sense of the term. Persuasion is a strategy. Top trial lawyers succeed not because they are better at law, but because they are better at people.

If winning a case were just about "the facts," you'd never need a courtroom, all you'd have to do is hand each juror a book listing all the "facts." As we all witnessed in the O.J. Simpson trials, and continue to witness daily on "Court TV," the facts are just the beginning. They must then be presented in a certain way to persuade the jurors of the rightness of a particular cause. Similarly, the idea you have, the product you sell, the service you provide, the information you want to convey, are the beginning, the raw material which you then must present in a certain way for people to want and accept it.

Dr. Nelson shows readers the seven steps to success that trial lawyers use to win, and then explains how to use the seven steps in real life situations, at work, at home, and in the world. For example, she explains how to:

* Convince your family members to do things your way
* Persuade your co-workers, employees and bosses to go along with your ideas and projects
* Negotiate with your employer to give you better raises and more fulfilling work conditions
* Win over contractors, in-laws, audiences, voters, and others to your point of view and get what YOU want!

Dr. Nelson shares how you can persuade people of the worth of your idea, of the benefit of your service or product, of the rightness of your cause. You can get your way--just as successful trial lawyers do.

Her advice includes how to:
* Make a dynamic first impression to establish "instant credibility;"
* Powerfully communicate your facts to others through body language;
* Maximize the value of your voice by varying the volume, pitch and pace to keep others listening and willing and wanting to hear more;
* Gain the trust of others by using powerful persuasion techniques including "mirroring," "perceptual modes" and "pace and lead;"
* Learn how lawyers artfully listen in ways that help them win cases, and how you can apply this skill to your advantage;
* Master the persuasion techniques that appeal to our basic need for reason and logic;
* Learn how lawyers use emotions purposefully and effectively to sway jurors, and how you can use these same skills to win over others;
* Apply lawyer persuasion techniques to win in everyday situations.

Convince everybody!.......2000-01-10

Ever notice how some people seem to always get their way, even though they're (arguably)"wrong". This book will teach you how! This is not a Machiacelliv book, but it will certainly teach you how to relate with other people in a way that makes them empathize with your cause and agree with you. Once you've learned this, you can use the knowledge to win trials, close a business deal, get a promotion, bargain, or simply relate to the world in general in a way that will make everyone love you!

From posture to body language, argumentation, organization of thought, etc., this book really works! Did you know, for example, that people believe body language over your actual words because they think that is more natural? So learn to control your body language, learn the "social stereotypes" and you're off to manipulate everyone into agreeing with you!

Also check "What would Machiavelli Do?" By Stanley Bing, "The 48 Laws of Power" by R. Greene and J. Elffers, and "The Prince" by Machiavelli

Excellent book!.......1999-11-20

As a lawyer, I can tell you that this book will teach you how to negotiate and convince people. It will tell you how to stand and gesture so that you are perceived as an authoritative person, if you want, or as naive if that's what the situation requires. A great book which will be extremely helpful to everyone, and a must-have for lawyers, businessmen and politicians.

Great for the general public and for law students.......1998-06-15

As a student entering my third year of law school, I find my trial classes to be the most exciting. Noelle Nelson's book is giving me an edge over my other classmates, and I expect the same results when I enter practice. If it works in the legal environment just imagine how effective it can be when the techniques are used in the general public!

Book Description

A unique and necessary reference for amateurs and professionals alike, with comprehensive coverage of the thousands of celestial objects outside our solar system—but within the range of two- to twelve-inch telescopes. The objects are grouped according to the constellations in which they appear, and their definitions feature names, celestial coordinates, classification, and a full physical description, along with hundreds of charts, photographs, and other visual aids. These, together with a star atlas, will assist stargazers at every level of experience in finding and identifying celestial objects. This volume, Volume I of a three-volume set, consists of an introduction and the beginning of the alphabetical list of constellations, from Andromeda to Cetus. Also available are Volume II, with entries from Chameleon to Orion; and Volume III, which completes the sequence, from Pavo to Vulpecula, and includes an index. 1977 ed.

Out-dated but absolutely essential........2006-09-03

Yes, the coordinates are badly outdated. But anybody can get updated coordinates for any of the many thousands of astronomical objects described in this encyclopedia of observing. What's totally irreplaceable are the descriptions and star lore associated with all the objects.

What Burnham has compiled here is nothing short of miraculous. I know of no serious amateur astronomers who doesn't hold these three volumes dear to their heart. If you are a serious amateur and you don't own them, you are missing out. If you are a beginner, the introduction to Volume 1 is alone worth the purchase.

No, they are not pretty, and the typesetting is straight out of the Jurassic, but once one realizes just how much information is here, one realizes that there are no substitutes.

One word review: "Essential"

Need all 3 Volumes.......2003-03-08

There isn't too much this book has left out when it comes to information about stars, galaxies, clusters, nebula etc... These 3 volumes are more like an enclyclopedia set. Any star or other celestial object you want to know more about will probably be here. In fact it would take you more than a lifetime to study and find all of the different wonders of the galaxy and universe that are listed in these volumes. I never realized just how many galaxies had been documented along with variables, eclipsing binaries, star clusters, double stars etc... If you see a star in the heavens that has a certain luster or location or interests you in some way just look it up in this guide and you will find out all kinds of things about it that other books don't delve into.

A book with overwhelming information..........2002-07-11

Being an amateur astronomer I bought this and the other two volumes recently and I have found it indispensible. Im writing this review keeping solely the tyro's in mind, since one knowledgeable in astronomy would have already had this book. If you are getting interested in astronomy, this is the book to buy - it will surely deepen your interest. Get the book and take a journey through the starts that Burnham offers you in the first few pages.

There are plenty of astronomy books for amatuers with fantastic photos. And sometimes it can be intimidating to know what to buy. Burnham's book is worth every penny (and it doesnt cost much either). It does not contain colorful photos (though contains plenty of b&w photos taken from Lowell/Palomar and other observatories). All 88 constellations are dealt with in detail. First a list of double stars are given in each constellation followed by details of each bright star (including spectrum analysis for some). The book is set in "type-writer" font, so it gives a special feeling of reading some research paper.

A unique feature of this book, which is probably not found in any other astronomy book I have come sofar, is that, it also contains a perspective of a given constellation or star by several different cultures. Most astronomy books stop with Greek and Roman myths - giving a feeling that no other culture was knowledgeable in astronomy. Coming from Indian background, I found it very intriguing that Burnham mentions several stories and myths from Indian folklore (including those that I heard from my granny!). For eg, Varahamihira (c 100 AD?) in his "Brihat Samhita" compares Ursa Major (aka called "Seven Sages") to string of pearls. I was surprised to see Burnham mention this.

One other way I use the book is to first locate some star in the telescope (by lazily moving it around), notice the color, constellation and other characteristics, then look into the book about the details and compare with what you saw. Thats a fun way of learning.

Though more experienced astronomers would observe that some Burnham's values are of older epoch, this should not really bother a beginner. Burnham has certainly packed a wealth of information into three volumes. Again this is a book that will accompany for life on observing the wonders that are up above the sky.

Great bathroom material for the Deep Sky Observer.......2002-03-20

Robert Burnham (NOT the former Editor of Sky and Telescope, BTW) from the 50's to the late 60's spent many years working for an observatory on the tedious project of "blink comparing" countless photographic plates. In his spare time, he made and recorded observations of thousands of the most interesting objects in the deep sky. In addition he compiled a library of observations from other great observers, as well as star lore, scientific data, and personal refleciton. The result is a hodge-podge, somewhat out of date, collection that nonethless facinates.

Thousands of objects are cataloged by constellation, and hundreds are described in detail. When arriving at an object that seems to be the most familliar of its class (M13 for globular clusters, Sirius B for white dwarfs etc,.) Burham provides an essay on that class of objects (state of the art for its time, usually the 1970s)- often including very useful cross-references to other objects in that class.

Most useful to the observer are the countless orbital charts of double stars.

These books are an addictive way to pass the time. Most of the essays on featured objects are a few pages long, and can be read in the short "in between" moments that life is filled with. For two years I had one or more volumes of this series of three books in my bathroom, so as to pass the time a bit more productively learning about the sky. Needless to say, some of my bathroom trips grew a bit lengthy as I found myself plowing through Burnham's collection of personal observations, scientific data, and historical tales.

A rare book to be cherished........2001-03-23

Robert Burnham, Jr., spent twenty years at Lowell Observatory participating in a proper motion survey. During his tenure, he wrote this mammoth 3-volume work covering nearly every object visible in 2- to 12-inch telescopes. Each chapter, covering one constellation (both northern and southern hemispheres), begins with a detailed list of all stellar objects (double stars, variable stars, and deep sky objects). Then, he delves, sometimes rather deeply, into the more significant objects of that constellation, bringing together history, philosophy, and science to describe each one. His chapter on Sagittarius, for example, includes a 25-page section on the dense portion of the Milky Way blending current 1970s science with wonderful passages from Greek and Eastern philosophies, Native American legends, and the history of science. His prose for each chapter reflects the content he covers: lyrical prose when describing the "personal" aspects of observing objects, and readable, accessible language to delineate the science behind what we know about objects in the heavens. Moreover, each chapter has photographs of many of the stars and nebulae with telescopes and cameras ranging from a 5-inch astrograph to the 200-inch Hale telescope of Palomar Observatory.

Yes, the book is thirty years old and a little out-of-date. And, the typewritten font looks homely. But that's part of its charm. Burnham initially self-published this very personal book from his kitchen table. Literally. (Astronomy magazine published a very interesting "self-interview" by Burnham in March, 1982 which provides some background on his struggles to get it published.) From a small-press run of looseleaf copies in binders, it became somewhat of a cult classic among amateurs because nothing as detailed like this had been published before. (True, T.W. Webb's "Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes" was available, but it was last published in 1917.)

I know of no other book that combines personal, reflective commentary on "mundane" objects like the Big Dipper (officially, the Ursa Major Moving Cluster), and clear, concise descriptions of variable stars, Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and finder charts for objects like 3C273, the brightest quasar visible to amateur-sized scopes. (Trust me: spend the 30-minutes or so tracking this last one down at a star party and you'll have a line of folks waiting to look at a faint star-like object, the light of which left 3C273 long before the earth was even formed.)

One side note: if you're interested in the rather tragic life of Burnham, search for "Sky Writer", an article by Tony Ortega, published in the Phoenix, AZ "New Times" newspaper for September 25-October 1, 1997. All readers of Celestial Handbook owe Ortega a nod for the herculean task of piecing together Burnham's life.
