          4 out of 5 stars you should have this.......2006-08-29

          If you really want to get a "hands on approach" to how to record everthing your learning in the text. This is an awesome addition. It will take time though, so don't try to use it in a summer course. (like I did). But I got another one for the Fall class.

          5 out of 5 stars Amazing transaction.......2006-02-26

          I received the item much sooner than expected. It was a very pleasant suprise. I was expecting it within 9 business days after placing the order on a Thursday night and I received it the following Monday morning! But wait, it gets better...the shipping was free because I used the Super Saver Shipping! I love Amazon.com! The item was well packaged and in perfect condition. This transaction could not have gone any better. :)

                    Book Description

                    With FY04 revenue of $4,809 million, ADP Employer Services (ADP ES), a division of Automatic Data Processing (ADP), is the largest provider of payroll outsourcing solutions in the world. However, in Europe, as in the U.S., the economy continues to experience low GDP growth and ADP ES like many payroll and HR service providers has seen a slowdown in its revenue growth rates as its clients have either slowed or frozen their hiring programs.

                    To counter this impact, ADP has pursued a two-pronged strategy of increasing wallet share with its existing client base through the up-sell of a broader HR services portfolio and a value-added, multinational proposition for its global client base, focused on the integration of HR and payroll systems and reporting.

                    "ADP is undoubtedly a heavyweight in Europe, but one that has yet to fully realize the synergies of its extensive multicountry presence," says IDC's HR Services Research Manager, Mike Friend. "As a result, although ADP occupies an enviable top 3 position in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K., Spain, Italy, and Switzerland, it has failed to deliver the knockout blow to its competitors."

                    This IDC insight offers an analysis of ADP ES' strengths and weaknesses and asks what strategy ADP ES is pursuing in order to energize growth rates and expand its footprint in the European payroll outsourcing market.

                      Book Description

                      Seasons Among the Vines explores the pleasures and pitfalls of following a lifelong dream. For Paula Moulton it was the dream of leaving the city for the California wine country to take up viticulture and gardening. In the process, she finds unexpected frustrations in running a farm and seeks help from some skeptical farmers who initially challenge her. As she finds her stride, her story resonates with her passion for the outdoors and the rewards of risk-taking. Organized by the seasons, the book shows how experimenting with vines can be a joyful reality, not simply an unattainable fantasy. Moulton's enthusiasm and "you can do it, too!" attitude add an inspiring touch to a compelling story of the rich rewards that authentic living can bring. This enchanting memoir is accompanied by photos and illustrations.

                      5 out of 5 stars Fruit of the Vine.......2007-10-06

                      "What you don't know won't hurt you." Paula Moulton and her husband decide they've had enough of the rat-race in the city. So they decide they will move to the lush California wine country to produce their own grapes for celebrated wine countries. But soon enough, they discover what they don't know will hurt you and your product.

                      Seasons Among the Vines is an exciting journey about farming that parallels life lessons for any reader. This is fascinating reading that covers soil texture and structure, grape vine anatomy, the connection between cows and lush fertilizer, bugs and funguses that attack vines, compost and cover crops that generate yielding soil for the perfectly desired grape, poisons that solve one problem only to produce a far larger problem to one's fruit, cohabiting with animals natural to farm areas, grapevine spacing and cycles of growth for certain types of grapes, trellis or cane/spur pruning systems of growing vines, proper and improper irrigation systems and so much more.

                      What, however, truly stands out is the love for farming and the robust engagement Paula Moulton has with learning all about this new world. Her passion in this process is infectious and her willingness to be taught from experts and her own mistakes focuses her humility and growth in this most formidable of industries. Love for it all stands out so very clearly that the reader finds one's self rooting for her success every step of the way and celebrating her initial victories.

                      Love that wine but love it even more after reading about this magical but real venture into the seasons and vicissitudes of producing the finest fruit for the dabbling tasters, drinkers and connoisseurs of this magnificent fruit of the vine, grapes for wine!

                      5 out of 5 stars Wish I was there........2007-07-25

                      Paula Moulton decides she's had enough of the city, and makes a decision that completely changes the way she and her family live. She paints vivid pictures through her descriptions of California wine country and the relationships she develops - with the people and the land.

                      While her husband works 80 hour weeks, Paula and her children learn to live with Mother Nature, not fight her. Through trial and error, she discovers what farming methods work for her, while cultivating her vineyard. Paula finds herself becoming caught up in the ebb and flow of the seasons, and how important each is, if she hopes to have a productive crop.

                      This book is vaguely reminiscent of Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. It's anecdotal as well as educational. You'll find information and instruction about grape growing and wine making. It's a beautiful book, one you'll find yourself sharing with your friends.

                      4 out of 5 stars Too Few Seasons Among the Vines.......2006-06-19

                      After seeing the film "Sideways" I found myself looking for a good book to read about winemaking and living in wine country. This book offers a tutorial on the nuts and bolts of how to grow grapes and produce wine, and as a memoir, interweaves the personal experiences of the author and the "Life Lessons" learned in the process.

                      Drawing from her father's interest in gardening and home made wine, and her mother's passion for natural foods and conservation, in mid-career Moulton moves from the city to the country and becomes an expert in biodynamic, dry-farming grape production, with an obsession for the natural health of her soil and vineyards. The book could stand on it's own as a textbook in natural farming techniques.

                      As a memoir, the story is even more interesting. Mrs. Moulton reveals that her initial childhood interest in gardening develops as a healing process after the death of her brother. Then later when Mrs. Moulton finds herself frustrated and fatigued from trying to raise a family and have a career in a fast-paced urban environment, she follows her grandmother's advise to "Find something you're passionate about and do it. Follow your dreams." To do so, she convinces her successful doctor husband to move to the country. "Wouldn't it be fun to speed your way to work on a beautiful country road?" she asks him, as she notes that he is a man who lives life fast, and is afraid of dying without accomplishing anything. So are the "Life Lessons" Moulton learned from her "Seasons Among the Vines" limited to seeking harmony with nature? Is the intended lesson in life we are to take from this book that you should follow your dreams no matter what? I think that was the intent.

                      At the conclusion of the memoir, the stress from farming has left the author with serious neck and spine problems, kids sick for a year from drinking infected well-water, a mostly absent husband, and doubts about the chosen lifestyle. Yet the solution the author chooses is to expand the farm to 60 acres, restore a 100-year old farmhouse, and grow yet more grapes. I wasn't convinced that following her dreams had brought Moulton any contentment. After searching for more reviews of the book, I was saddened to learn that her husband Chuck had lost control of his car and was killed in a head-on collision on a country road shortly after the book had been published.

                      In hindsight, this memoir was written too soon. Maybe there had not yet been enough seasons among the vines to learn all of life's lessons. Perhaps following one's dreams no matter what consequences follow can require too great a sacrifice. Maybe the lesson should have been to appreciate that which we already have, and to recognize when the pursuit of personal dreams comes at too high a cost to others as well as to yourself.

                      Hopefully, Mrs. Moulton has recovered. I wish her and her family the best. And this work, this book within a book, deserves a sequel.


                      5 out of 5 stars A Delightful Read.......2006-03-30

                      I grabbed the paperback after several friends told me how wonderful the book was. I jumped on a cross-country flight recently and couldn't put the book down during the entire trip. I don't even remember landing. What I like best about the book is the way the author weaves the colorful and eventful memoirs of her life with insightful advice on organic farming and grape-growing in wine country. An unusual treat and a delightful read. I strongly recommend it.

                      5 out of 5 stars A Guidebook for Dreamers.......2004-01-24

                      This is a great book for those of us who have always dreamed of abandoning the city life and buying a winery. Most of us won't ever actually do it, but it's fun to read about someone who really did. Well written, funny and touching.

                        Book Description

                        Many new tests of gravity and, in particular, of Einstein's general relativity theory will be carried out in the near future: The Lense--Thirring effect and the equivalence principle will be tested in space; moreover, gravitational waves will be detected, and new atomic interferometers and clocks will be built for measurements in gravitational and inertial fields. New high-precision devices have made these experiments feasible. They will contribute to a better understanding of gravitational physics. Both experimental developments and the theoretical concepts are collected in this volume. Exhaustive reviews give an overall insight into the subject of experimental gravitation.
