3 out of 5 stars Ok basic, but not too helpful.......2006-02-26

This book gives a good basic overview of the health care finance. Its best feature is that it is applied to health care only, so you don't have to go through other business models. I cannot see using it in the future though - if you are planning to manage your office/work on a budget/evaluate your organization from a financial stand point, this is not the book you will need.

        Book Description

        Oxfam's step-by-step guide to basic accounting and financial management techniques was originally published in 1992. In this newly updated edition, each chapter contains training materials which may be used either with groups or for individual self-instruction. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, aiming to build up expertise systematically through examples and case-studies. The text is suitable for learners whose command of English is limited: the activities and exercises use multiple-choice and group-discussion formats, avoiding the need for long written answers. Solutions are provided for all the activities.

                    From the supplier: Jeffrey O. Henley joined Oracle Corp. in 1991 and turned the company around. At that time, Oracle was nearing the $1-billion mark in terms of revenue, yet it was plagued with financial problems. Henley, who had made a name for himself as a turn-around expert in his previous posts, lost no time in setting up controls and a meticulously detailed review system so the company could pinpoint exactly where it was losing or earning money.

                      Book Description

                      The stodgy, old-fashioned typewritten résumé is a thing of the past—and Barron's has a brand-new résumé manual designed to propel today's job seekers toward success! The emphasis is on organizing one's job qualifications and career experience to make the best possible presentation, but this how-to book focuses on a far broader range of job-seeking techniques than simply writing a good résumé. The author advises on taking full advantage of career planning internet sources and college career service centers. She also points out differences between paper résumés and electronic résumés and discusses methods of preparing each. In many career fields, a well-presented paper résumé will never go out of date, and this book explains how to organize résumé material, present past accomplishments succinctly, then “sell” one's skills with dynamic sentences and power verbs. It also shows how to prepare scannable and e-mailable résumés, create dynamic cover letters, include photos and references when required, select appropriate type faces and paper colors, and much more. The author also inspires job seekers with scores of model résumés that apply to everyone from first-time job hunters to executives seeking to advance their careers.

                        All children love to draw--and now itÕs easy and fun to learn how with the ÒWatch Me DrawÓ series. Each title in the series includes 11 drawing lessons, an engaging story, ÒrewardÓ stickers, and a flip-down paper pad with drawing prompts. Dolphins, Whales, Fish & More features the story of Drake, a sea horse that encounters an array of other sea creatures as he searches for a mermaid and sunken treasure. Kids will learn how to draw all the characters featured in the story, including a gentle sea lion, a helpful whale, and a sinister shark.

                        The special flip-down paper pad (which is designed to be used while the book is open) is preprinted with 11 unfinished drawings for the child to complete, helping the child become confident with his or her drawing skills. And each page of the story has a place for a sticker that will complete the scene, providing a sense of accomplishment and helping the child track his or her progress.

                          This book is the MOST awsome book!!! It really gives a trainer's point of view on the work and skills included!! The story is almost touching, and it really brings the world of dolphins into the light!!

                          5 out of 5 stars An Awesome true story about Awesome Animals.......2001-12-30

                          I love this book! Don C Reed tells the story of his career as a dolphin trainer and the relationships he shared with these great animals. After reading this book, i was inspired to become a dolphin trainer when I grow up. You should DEFINITELY read this book!

                          5 out of 5 stars It was a very good book because it really happened........1997-10-13

                          I liked the book because I like the ocean and it is interesting to know the trainer's point of view about dolphins. It is also interesting to know that all dolphins aren't nice. I am ten years old.

Printed in a folding format, the book can be extended as if it were a road populated by different kinds of fishes and other undersea denizens. The book lets children be surrounded by the whole ocean, or experience such vibrant creatures as sharks, octopuses, dolphins, and others individually.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Ella Enchanted.......2002-05-03

                                  I really enjoyed reading Ella Enchanted. It was a very good book. It is about a royal girl named Ella, who had a problem. When she was born a fairy gave her a gift the gift of obedience. Ella hates this gift. It is always getting in her way.
                                  When her mother dies she is devistated. She can't tell anybody about the curse.
                                  She finds friendship with a young prince. Her father decides that it would be better if she went to boarding school with her two fathers friend's daughters.
                                  The girls find out that Ella is obedient. But they do not know why. She decides to run away.
                                  She ends up with her father and he has decided to marry the woman. She is not pleased. But her guyfriend wants her to marry him. What about the curse? You have to read the book to find out!

                                  4 out of 5 stars This would be an awsome collection.......2001-01-22

                                  I'll start with the books I haven't read. Because I haven't read "Dear Mr. Henshaw" and "One Eyed-Cat" I had to give this collection only four stars though I'd love to give it five. "Dear Mr. Henshaw" was part of my elementary school library. Everyone was demanding that I read Mr. Henshaw, but there were so many other books to read so I never got around to it. I had never heard of "One Eyed-Cat" when I was young, but from what I hear it is worth the read.

                                  Scott O'Dell is one of my all time favorite authors. I have read "Island of the Blue Dolphins" a million times and would read it a million more. It is the story that first drew me to the Native American culture and his other works were equally enticing. The story of Karana's survival alone on the island of her birth and the life and family she makes for herself there is magnificent. Her neverending yearning for her people, but continuing love for the home she makes creates a bittersweet ending when she leaves for her people. It is made even more sad when in his author's notes O'Dell revealed that her people never made it to their new home and that is why they never sent for her. Scot O'Dell writes an alluting tale of a woman who must survive on her own. I would heartily recommend any book he has written.

                                  Elizabeth George Speare is not far behind on my favorite author list. I also read "The Sign of the Beaver" a million times. It is a wonderful story of a wary friendship between a teenage white settler left to care for their new home while his father goes to fetch his mother, sister, and the soon to be born baby and a teenage Indian who has inherited the bitterness of his culture to the white man. Together they teach each other what is needed to know to survive in the other's world. Another bittersweet ending, this is a wonderful story about how two radically different people can learn to respect the other and what they have to offer. "The Witch of Blackbird Pond" is the story about a girl from the Caribbean who is tossed into her own survival story when she must live with her Puritan relatives. Here, her culture of clashes with the rigid structure of the Puritan people who consider her a hopeless sinner. They radically distrust her and it comes to a head when she is accused of witchcraft. The only drawback of this story is that it helps to understand the Puritans and it is my experience that their history is learned in highschool when one is just a tad old for her works.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Excellent analysis of the development of the first two laws.......2006-08-10

                                      This work approaches Kepler's development of his first two laws of planetary motion from three viewpoints: empirical (scientific), philosophical, and religious. Kozhamthadam does an excellent job of showing that, by using all three of these processes in his work, Kepler was able to find his way along the correct path to the first two laws of planetary orbits: 1) the orbit of a planet is an ellipse, and 2) a line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. Highly recommended for anyone interested in how science and religious thought can work together!
