The premis of this little book is "seven days to a finished paper". True to its word, this is just what it delivers. If you've already done the research and are wondering (a) how to write it up for publication, and/or (b) who would publish it, some very helpful answers can be found here.

It takes only a few hours to complete a careful cover-to-cover read of the 130 pages. The author starts by examining typical motivations for publishing or not publishing one's work, and then leads the reader through a self-analysis of one's research in order to discover how to target journals and write an article that is likely to be accepted.

Chapters 10 and 11 give a step-by-step blueprint to the actual writing of the paper and -- having tested the formula over the last four days -- my newly finished article is proof that this really can be accomplished quite painlessly.

One thing to note is the author's bent towards the practical. Her reference to Ockam's Razor and the removal of the abstract might not appeal to those whose research careers are based on quiet contemplation and abstraction. Her repeated advice to offer 'practical implications' might not exactly meet the needs of such authors. However, in a cut-throat academic world where the tendency is to focus on the practical, this approach might in fact provide a way in which to make one's abstract ideas and theoretical research seem more "relevant".

This book does assume that the research has already been completed and that the prospective article writer knows what s/he wants to say but isn't sure about the mechanics of doing so. Those who are looking for something to help them forumlate a research plan or actually conduct academic research would be better searching for a good book on how to research and write a thesis or dissertation.

Particularly for the junior academic who must "publish or perish" to build a reputation and survive but is not quite sure how to get started, this guidebook is godsend. Seasoned academics who already have solid bibliographies might be happily surprised to discover their writing lives become a little easier if they follow some of the advice in this book.

How to get research published in journals, Abby Day, Gower

I liked this book. I liked it a lot, in fact. Here's how it starts: "Publishing may seem like a difficult and mysterious business, but it's not". And then, in a nicely economical style, in not much more than a one-sitting reading, Abby Day proceeds to demonstrate exactly how it's not that mysterious and difficult. It doesn't ignore the difficulties of the strange process of converting research data and ideas into a communicative document; it confronts them, one by one, takes them apart, and provides a range of coping strategies.

As an editor, I almost wanted to be resistant to the mystique of the process being debunked. But what editor could resist this: "why is it that so many authors send editors junk mail?.....editors reject half the articles they receive simply because they are not suited to that particular journal's brief". Or this: "scratch the surface a little and most editors will admit they experience a thrill from helping...authors along". Hey, yes, that's me! I like being an editor! Don't send me junk! Put in some effort to give me papers which make my life easy and are a pleasure to read and review, and are a pleasure for my review board, and are a pleasure for my subscribers. Then we'll all give some of that effort back to you.

And as an author, I was really impressed. Every chapter has a little series of action points. Every part of the creative process, from thinking of an idea in the first place to composing a covering letter to a journal editor, to the psychology of fear of being rejected, is outlined in idiot-proof detail.

And here's a thing. You can read this book. Compared to most business texts, this positively zings along, with lots of memorable little phrases and techniques. "Twenty words or less" and "So what?" will be stuck in my head forever. And the really neat and unusual part was the exposure of referees' comments to illustrate points made, all the way through

We live in a knowledge society now, and readers of this will be, by and large, working in the knowledge business. To make a knowledge society work means that knowledge needs to be disseminated. That's not just academic researchers writing for other academic researchers; it's managers writing about quality improvement; it's CEOs writing about strategy; it's politicians writing about social policy. Effective dissemination of knowledge means we all get richer.

This is a clear, no-nonsense, pull-yourself-together-and- get-on-with-it exposition of exactly how to do all that. I was impressed by it and I'd recommend anyone in the knowledge business to read it, whether you are a neophyte thinking about writing your first scholarly paper or an old hand with a publication list as long as your arm. Much as I'm not terribly good at being humble, I think I'm a better writer and maybe a better editor too as a result of having read it.

The other reviewer described the book so I will write about what it did for me. I had sprained a tendon in my leg/hip (how, I have no idea; it just came on) and was in some pain. I didn't know it was a tendon, so I began to worry about it. The pain increased, I began limping, and kept worrying--magnifying it into some sort of dreadful cancer eating away at my bones. (Well, you know, sprains should heal up in a few weeks. I'd had this for a couple months! And I still have it three months later.) Anyway, I read through this book and ended up releasing all the emotional involvement in my leg. The pain was reduced about 80 percent and I no longer limped. Now I just refuse to worry about it and instead bought a bicycle so I can strengthen and provide better stability for my muscular system.

We humans are very capable of endowing our minor injuries (or even major illnesses) with such power that they incapacitate us or, at the very least, demand a lot of attention. This book will help you put such things in perspective. Attitude truly is everything for the body/mind/spirit is a trinity, each component affecting the others. If you can improve your attitude you can improve your health. And the more you concentrate on your injuries or illness, the worse they will become. I highly recommend this book for anyone in pain or anyone with a bad attitude. And I recommend it for everyone who likes to read or who breathes on a regular basis. It's a keeper to which you can refer over and over for encouragement and reminders of the important things in life!

Dr Schindler claims in this book that most of us are just muddling through life instead of attaining enduring happiness. Because of this muddling through we develop what Dr. Schindler calls "E.I.I" (i.e. emotionally induced illness). Emotion by William James definition is "a state of mind that manifests itself by sensible changes in the body". Because one's has or produces the wrong kind of emotions, sooner or later he will develop physical symptoms. He then goes to his doctor to complain about these symptoms whereas the real cause of his illness is mental - his unhappiness. This book main purpose is to teach people how to change their way of living. The first part of the book is dedicated to describe how one's emotions makes him ill while the second part deals with advices and techniques to cure E.I.I.. In the latter part Dr. Schindler describes, among other things, 12 principles for richer living, and six man's basic needs - six things that deep inside one's must have. The fullillment of those six needs is the program for living that is blue printed for you. An amazing book!, A must read, Highly recommended!

Books addressing self-help/self-improvement abound, but this one provides practical how-to techniques which stand the test of time. This book is based on sound psycological principles. I've used the information over a period of 30+ years and have found that advances in medicine and psycology have not altered it's usefulness.

Reviewed by S Srikant, Bangalore, India . I read this book about 25 years ago when I was in college - found it in my college library. I found it to be very inspiring in helping people to evaluate their problems, stresses and strains and adopt a very positive and healthy outlook towards life. There are several books on this kind of subject, floating around in the marketplace - but I found this to be extremely thought-provoking, inspiring and useful in practice. Naturally, I encouraged many others to also read this book. I eventually managed to trace a copy in a bookstore and bought it - but over the years it's got lost.

This book helped me to let go and forgive an injustice that I've been struggling with for two years. The Lord led me to this book and He used it to help me finally let go and forgive, it's the only way to really be able to move on past tragedy...if you're suffering with how to forgive or survive tragedy this book is the perfect place to begin...and end.

I really loved this book and I intend to read it over many times. Jack Hayford's writing is direct, powerful, and penetrates deep into insights from Jesus' last words' that I had never seen before. This book is not too long (can be read in one sitting), but no words are wasted. This is not a book for those who want just some simple nice words to make you feel good. But is is a book with principles of truth to live by that are worth meditating over. I highly recommend it for anyone.

This book has taken each little piece of what I know about the music world and tied it into a great mosaic. Marty has clearly shown how different aspects of the music world really work. As a young, aspiring musician myself, I am refreshed to see that somebody out there cares enough about me to make things a little bit easier. Marty has given a guidebook to my life, and life is looking really good now!

Marty Buttwinick draws on years of experience to provide an excellent guide to starting (and staying) as a working musician. The best feature of this book are the numerous checklists that span the entire career of a musician. There are checklists for every kind of band and every career.

The chapters are organized very well, which makes it easy to use this book as a reference. You can find whatever you need at a specific time.

Buy this book. I'd give it a million stars if there were more than five.

I didn't think it was possible. I had clutter from one end of the house to the other. I whined about never having the time to keep the house clean - organized. I work full-time - my husband works full-time. We have NO children. Yet, I never had time on my days off to center on making everything right.

Then, I saw this book title... 'one hour a day' -- I could do that!

And I can! One room at a time, one hour a day. It's all about common sense and a commitment to get rid of that junk that I've been saving -- it seems like forever.

Clothes that I might fit into again? HA! (I had three closets full of assorted sizes...) Tools that might come in handy some day? Junk that I couldn't find the heart to part with - sentimental or practical - it's still JUNK!

It's so simple. I wish I had thought of it.

If keeping an orderly household is distasteful or impossible for you, take heart. Once you put into practice the simple procedures outlined in this little book, you are apt to spend more than an hour straightening up just because the end results are so satisfying. Jeanne's friendly book presents a sensible way to de-clutter you house from attic to basement, changing it from a disgusting maze into a pleasant haven.

To rescue yourself from the messes you and your family have allowed to accumulate, you need to plan your work and then work your plan. I urge you to sit down and read this book today. Tomorrow you will be ready to choose the room that bothers you most, set your timer, and get to work. When the timer stops, you stop. That's it. Then
go relax knowing there's one spot a lot more organized in your house.

with this purchase. This little book can really help those on the journey to publication. I enjoyed the practical approach and also the humorous anecdotes. I've highlighted the 10-point attack plan for my own book promotion.

Excellent source of information and humorous insights that independently published authors will find valuable.

You don't have to be a deer hunter to enjoy the storyline of this book. Joe Tanner, a family man and a Christian, enjoys deer hunting,but one day alone in the woods turns deadly. Robbers from a nearby town find Joe alone in the woods. Joe's trust in God and his hunting instincts kick in as he fights for survival. With a praying wife and friends on his side,he can't lose.

I first recieved this book on 12-4-01 I sat down started reading it and have been unable to put it down it reads great no trouble getting into the story and the way He relates it to Christian Values makes this a book worth having if you hunt or if you are a Christian I recomend that you atleast read it the story fully engolves you and your heart will pound for Joe as you read this story that could very easily be reallity for any hunter thats in the woods I give it 10 stars you will Love it.

My son, who just turned one, ADORES this book. He asks that we read it to him constantly, and has since the day we brought it home 4 months ago. I am now ordering a second and a third copy - a spare for us because the first is so dog-eared, and one for a friend to share with her daughter. It is a beautiful, playful, fun story with lots of word-play to entertain and encourage kids who are just getting verbal, a great message for older kids, and a fun read even for adults. My whole family gives it a big thumbs up! The only drawback I can think of is that Amazon offers only the paperback - our first copy is hardcover, and it's already toast so I'm not sure how it'll hold up. I wish they made this as a board book!

This playful bagatelle is vintage Charlip and is as good a valentine for adults as it is a children's book. A mother is putting her child to bed with the usual endearments which become, through loving word-play, more and more outrageous and more and more serious. This is a fabulous little book for everyone.

It was a quiet town and one of the oldest Jewish settlements in Poland, with more than 17,000 Jews. It was a hub of Jewish culture, religious commitment and economic activities. This town was Przemysl, located in southeastern part of Poland, a territory referred to as Galician before War World I. Although under increasing anti-Semitic pressure, the Jews in Przemysl led a fulfilling life, with young people full of hope for a better future. All these dreams came to abrupt end shortly after the start of War World II. After entering Przemysl, from September 16 to 19, 1939 the German Special Commandos aided by Wehrmacht, for no reason executed 600 Jewish men. They were young and old, from all walks of live, taken from businesses, streets and homes. This barbaric act and the subsequent tragic fate of Jewish people in Przemysl are immortalized in the book " I Remember Every Day..." by Hartman and Krochmal. It is the most moving and authoritative history of daily struggle of Jews to survive in the ghetto. It describes in human terms their daily lives, marred by separations of families, frantic efforts to safe children, betrayals, ever present killings and transports to the concentration camps. This brutality is documented by verbatim accounts given by 22 survivors and 8 righteous individuals, who risked their lives to save Jewish people. The reviewer himself a survivor of the ghetto in Przemysl, can fully attest to these untold sufferings, so appropriate reflected in the book title: "I Remember It Every Day". Pointedly, each day had a new beginning and increasingly tragic ending. It could never be forgotten as recounted by a few who survived.

In addition to an in depth treatment of the Holocaust period, a historical overview of Jewish life in Poland is given by Krochmal. Also, a treatise on psycho historical perspective of Polish-Jewish relation, before, during and after the Holocaust is discussed by Hartman. Using an analytical process, Hartman a psychoanalyst, hypothesizes the basis of this relationship to provide the reader with an understanding of Jewish life and anti-Semitism in Poland. Without question, the book is a valuable contribution for learning about the long history of Jews in Poland and its tragic end by the Holocaust.
