This book doesn't go into too much depth, but it does provide a very good overview of a number of topics. The exercise pages are excellent. It's easy to lay them out and refer to them while working out due to the fold-out format, and the instructions are clear. In addition, the book tells you which muscles are being worked by each exercise -- other sources are not always as clear. You're not going to get a great deal of detail on any particular topics, but you'll get a good set of basic exercises as well as an introduction to some important fitness concepts. I think it's a keeper.

This book has encouraged me to start and maintain a workout program. Rather than focus on one particular "workout," it gives you a series of exercises/plans for cardiovascular exercise, strength exercises (including exercises you can do with your bodyweight, freeweights, machines) and flexibility exercises. It even has workouts you can do from your hotel room when you travel and stretches for the office.

It's flexible, easy to follow and rather than being focused on workout "doctrine," it helps you build a workout that suits your abilities, needs and skills.

I've tried to start exercising for years. My usual excuse was that I didn't know how. When I bought this book that excuse completely disappeared. I have never read a more inciteful, encouraging, or instructive book on fitness. This book emphasizes both specific fitness areas such as cardio, flexibility, and strength (all with scientifically based exercises), as well as overall fitness topics such as nutrition and meditation. Excellent book.

While much of this material would have been great for the late 80s and very early 90s, with todays phone butlers and very savvy gatekeepers, this book is absolutely no help. The strategies are simply out of date. Buying this book is a waste of money and reading it is a waste of time. I've noted one endorsement on Amazon from another author of books for recruiters. He must be a close friend of Radin and is probably looking for a reciprocal endorsement. Radin does have some great books out there - this isn't one of them.

Tired concepts, outdated ideas, and transparent gimmicks. I would not use these ideas and if I were a client I would not fall for them. Pretty much a waste of money.

In Shut Up and Make More Money, Bill Radin provides a well needed reminder to remember the service side of the industry and get paid for remembering it. He provides simple ways to get the edge while maintaining and increasing both professionalism and revenue. Although technically, some of his ways are outdated, a good recruiter will find great resources within this book's pages. Because it's technically outdated, I wouldn't recommend this book for a brand new recruiter. I would, however, recommend it if you'd like to find a myriad of ways to get the immediate edge on your unwitting competition.

This book was a waste of time and money. The characters were wooden and one dimensional---I couldn't even sympathize with the heroine, Lauren--no matter what she went through. The supporting characters were not well developed at all, and the ending was predictable and flat and truth be told---totally disgusting. Andrew Billings also need have someone proof his story. Lauren, the protagonist was a vegan, she wore cloth Keds and hemp sandles because she abhorred leather, got rid of her Rover because of the leather seats, yet midway through the story she whips out her leather checkbook to pay her protector, Matt. Also if you find incest repulsive (I know I did and wish I had been warned first)stay away from this book.

Fans of thrillers often lament the staleness of the genre, the fact that publishers shower us with the same old stuff season after season-formula stories that you can figure out after the first five pages. But fans won't lament Andrew Billings' new novel, CARNAGE, which is a bizarre and twisted tale that grabs you by the collar and holds on until you're thoroughly unnerved.

A respected Seattle businesswoman, Lauren Bowman becomes entangled in the militant animal-rights movement, and participates in a raid on a bio-research laboratory to free rats and monkeys. The raid goes awry, however, and a security guard gets killed. One of Lauren's comrades, a young woman named Megan, disappears during their escape. A few days later, Lauren finds a video in her home, which shows Megan being tortured and killed. Acting on the advice of her father, a crusty ex-con who owns a bar and marina on Seattle's Lake Washington Ship Canal, Lauren engages a cashiered drug-cop named Matt Burgess to help her find out who killed Megan, since she herself can't go to the police without risking prosecution for the death of the security guard. Unlike most stock heroes in mystery thrillers, Burgess is a believable and interesting character, a guy who suffers from clinical depression over his many failures in life. Billings uses him to preach a bit about the insanity of America's war on drugs, but this is a small flaw in a story that builds in complexity and pace to a climax that might leave you numb. You get a strong dose of the dark side of Seattle's drug world, and a taste of a murderous obsession that seems all too real. I can't say more without the plot without giving too much away, so I'll just say, "Try this one; you'll like it." In CARNAGE, Billings delivers what thriller fans crave, just as he did with his previous book, TAINTED BLOOD.

Blackley worked for the cia for 20 years. He's telling the truth on this one . Debucks Jim Garrisson and the gov. role in the assassanation. Direct contacts to the mafia but none to the gov. I doubt he'd qualify for Jim Garrissons staff. Remember the same people that killed Kennedy hire thier own to cover it up.

This book has such a broad view of every aspect of the conspiracy theory behind the crime. From Castro to the Mob to Hoffa, it covers everything. I really enjoyed this book, it is easy to follow and I learned alot. It is a good history lesson!

My only hope is that this booklet is printed on recycled paper. I would shudder to think that even a tree branch perished for its printing. This is a collection of truisms of no substance, such as: "The purpose of the venture is profit, which results when income exceeds expenses" and "Did you know? Home ownership carries many benefits, taxwise." If you need the information in this booklet you need to question your capabilities to be in business.

The author takes apart the complexities of the Medical Billing Business, and piece by piece simplifies the requirements needed to fuel this business. He covers a wide variety of subjects fro software, hardware, training, tax and insurance to cyberspace jobs. The author also presents factual statistical, technical, and medical requirements of the industry.

Humor, with, and spots of sarcasm run through the book, making the reading an enjoyable experience. It is packed with such useful information that one needs to reread it more than once in order to digest the tremendous knowledge and advice extended by the author

The book would be good if it was meant to be used on its own. But seeing it is sold with a data disk and the simulation requires the data disk. Maybe it would be wise to include a data disk that worked. Had I known this I would never have spent the money I did on the book.

If your going to Fairleigh Dickinson University and your taking up Medical Coding and Billing you will need this book

Nice try, was looking for such kinda book for long .. i m not a medical person but love to study such kinda topic.

This book has the look, feel, and tone of an extended law review article. The author is a professor at a law school in Alabama with numerous law review articles to his credit, so the tone is not surprising.

Before he entered academe, however, the author spent nine years practicing law in New York City and is clearly wise to the ways of the big firm world periodically lampooned in places like _The American Lawyer_.

This book is largely descriptive and not prescriptive, and at times has an ingenuously horrified tone at the sharp billing practices chronicled through the use of an impressive variety of resources. Nonetheless, most professionals who log their time and use it for billing will find something to make them squirm.

Unfortunately the conclusions were only three pages of a 264-page book, and a number of other conclusions were scattered throughout the preceding chapters. More unified conclusions would have been helpful.

Worth struggling through if you want to take a cold hard look at how you do your timesheets.

This book was o.k. but a little confusing

This book is merely a collection of antecdotes throughout his recruiting career. In true Bill Radin style it's like a stream of consciousness about recruiting, with no central theme or direction to the writing. ...

i can save you the time and effort of reading this book. the main theme is to never discount your fees. that's about it. quick to read and kind of helpful but not the best book out there on recruiting.

On the positive side, the book is well written and easy to follow. Most readers will pick up at least some good ideas from this book. I will certainly use things like the Test of Commitment, designed to see how willing a candidate really is to make a change. However, this book was not quite what I expected. It was only when the book arrived that I realized that the content is predominantly written for contingent recruiters working mid level roles where ringing clients to market a candidate is totally acceptable. I found the book through the Amazon search engine under the heading Executive Search, but what Bill Radin calls executive search is very different to how we use the term in the southern hemisphere. Here, search is almost never contingent (it is a retained industry sector), it is used for very senior roles, and business ethics prevent candidates at that level being marketed. I'm not sorry I bought the book, but it did not help me as much as I had hoped.
