This book is small and great. I learned a great deal from this book, about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization, among other things. This book, if studied and mastered, greatly improves one's techical writing technique.
The section on English as a second language leaves a bit to be desired, but I suppose it is understandable, since this book was written for native English speakers. Good book.

William Pfeiffer's book serves as a solid introduction to the technical writing process, and then retains value as a practical reference tool. The book showcases plenty of writing samples, and touches on some of the more common grammar problems encountered in the writing process. While not the definitive guide on writing (is there such a thing?), the "Pocket Guide to Technical Writing" is a worthy addition to the technical writer's library.

I have some essays in it, but the total content is 1st rate.I recently reviewed it for a talk on the local radio. BUT no mention of children in the war.

If you are looking for a basic book on the job process, such as interviewing, writing resumes, networking,and self- exploration, then this is the book for you!

Although I have experience in writing resumes and interviewing, this book gives the readers detailed instructions on finding the right job for them. I truly enjoyed the small section on self- exploration and networking. I never knew the process and protocol of networking. The authors' advocate stringently on this needed part of the job hunting process. After reading that chapter, I was impressed, eager, and informed.

Sanborn and Lederman gives the readers tools, such as trade organization addresses, directories, web sites, and a step by step process to finding and getting the right job. The authors specialize in the New York area, thus they provide updated and specified information that only true New Yorkers would have. They share with the reader testimonial-like experiences. They help you throw away job hunting myths.

Overall, they provide the neccessary links,and inside information to motivate the job seeker to have success in the hectic and chaotic atmosphere of New York city.

This collection of hymns is well representative of the Christian year. The arrangements are refreshing, fairly easy to play without being overly simple, and have interesting harmonies to create a unique setting. With plenty of 9ths, diminished chords, and alternative phrasing, this collection offers a new way to present tried and faithful hymns. If you or your church are not ready to try newer styles, this collection is not for you. But if you are comfortable with the 88 black and whites and have a decent ear for contemporary harmonies, this is right on the mark!

I purchased this reference as soon as I could fit it into my budget. There are no references written for Crystal Decisions enterprise level products and I was excited to see one in the works.

I purchased the book for it's attempt to describe the features of the products and how they are designed to work together, from the Crystal Enterprise components to Crystal Analysis Pro. Probably a full 25% of the book is spent on customizing Crystal Enterprise for a web site or web application. The explanations are easy to understand and cover the major points necessary to make the product work.

I am not a big fan of the "Special Edition" book series because I find them to be too general. This one fits the content style of the series to a 'T'. If you need a general reference on the Crystal Enerprise/Crystal Analysis Pro products, by all means, by this book. If you have been "knee-deep" in the product since it's release, you will probably not find any grand revelations here. It succeeds at trying to be what it is: a solid, general product reference.

Also, it is written by Crystal Decisions employees and certified trainers/consultants so you will not be told about any bugs or shortcomings in the product.

I gave it four stars just for the breadth of content and since it is the only reference for Crystal Enterprise, you can honestly say it is the best. To me, it is worth the money spent.

As a teacher in a middle school, teamwork is very important to me. I picked up this workshop on cassette because I felt there were some aspects of our team that were dysfunctional. Sanborne presents some very specific opinions about teams and the role of individuals in any work group. His theories aren't just concepts out of context though. He presents some very solid habits, practices and useful advice for making a team more effective.
He begins by outlining some very basic principles of what teamwork is, and breaks down misconceptions of team work. Then he moves to specific strategies offered to make team playing more effective. He has advice for administrators, managers, middlemen and even the "lowly" intern that make effective teamwork.
His tape also addresses Risk Taking, Effective Communication, Team Recruiting, Job Trading, Management Training, Empathy at work, Goal Setting, and the effectiveness of increased responsibility. Practitioners of his benchmarks that provide good examples of his concepts include business giants such as Wal-Mart, and McDonalds as well as others.
Though the trends talked about in his tape are reflective of yesterday's corporate trends, he has very good ideas that are still practical and useful today. I am eager to pick up the tape and listen to it again in August, just before school starts this fall because it will reinforce the practical strategies I have developed from his advice. I strongly suggest implementing Mark's ideas because they are sound and practical. Putting them into practice will make any team more efficient, successful and dynamic.

Whether you're a wine-maker or homebrewer, a connosieur of wines and/or beers, or simply someone who is fascinated with the history of colonial New England, this book is a useful addition to your library. Taking you step by step through the various types of fermented drink made by the settlers of the northeastern New World, it explains what the colonists drank, why they drank it, how they harvested the ingredients for their brews, and (for the do-it-yourselfers)a section on how to accurately reproduce modern equivalents. The book reopens doors to what may have become a fairly close-minded world of home-made fermented beverage, as well as providing wonderful historical information about how the agriculture of the area effected the style of living of the time.

This book is essentially a compendium of bland generalities and lists such as you might compile in an afternoon spent with your favorite Internet search engine or reference librarian. For each country surveyed there are lists of foreign and domestic companies and a trite couple of paragraphs about the country's "economic outlook". You *might* find this useful - if you were a European student looking for work in the U.S., think of how useful you might find a couple paragraphs from "Let's Go" and the address and phone numbers of the headquarters of IBM, Exxon, and AT&T, say.

I was especially interested in finding information on writing a CV, and found instructions for an "international" CV that adequately describe how to write an American resume. The authors make no distinction between requirements for a French CV as opposed to German Lebenslauf. You might find a job in spite of following the book's advice, but I think a better bet would be "The Global Resume and CV Guide".

Getting a job overseas can be challenging, and this book is a fine place to start. Each country chapter has a brief history/culture summary; current economic climate information and employment outlook; resources for finding short-term work, internships, volunteer opportunities; embassies; international nonprofits; companies listed by industry and lots more. It also has a list of books the author recommends to those seeking international employment. Caveat: The resume samples are fine for seeking a US job, but European CVs are different. But overall, this is a great book for someone who knows they want to work in Europe but who hasn't focused yet. And still a good book, but less helpful, for someone who knows exactly what they want to do.

It would take months to find all the resources this books offers. It's worth its considerable weight in gold!

After reading this really helpful new 5th edition, I quickly realized that the less than flattering comments by some did, indeed, refer to a previous edition. This new edition cures all that ailed previous editions. It is really chock full of effective advice on conducting a nine-step search for full-time, part-time, or seasonal jobs anywhere in Europe. When the authors don't cover something in as much depth as you might like, they offer information about numerous other print and online resources that do cover the topic indepth (I guess if they tried to cover absolutely everything in as much depth as the things they do cover, the book would have been 600 pages and cost twice as much). They do a really good job of explaining how resumes and cover letters should be written differently when applying for work in Europe -- if you follow the U.S. model your resume will wind up in the circular file very quickly.

The directory half of the book provides contact information with thousands of potential employers -- organized by country, and within each country by broad category like banking and fiance, technology, service industries, retailing and wholesaling, and industrial manufacturing. The concise country profiles really help you chart your course of action. There's also a whole chapter on teaching English abroad, one on internships and summer jobs, and one on working with placement agencies.
