Finally, a book that looks at all aspects of finding and funding training for a career after high school. This book looks at colleges, vo-tech, even the military. It's easy to read and relate to, and answers the questions you thought were too silly to ask. Dr. Otto helps make you an informed consumer and really gives the parents the tools necessary to help their children. Bravo.

Incredibly breathtaking!!!!
Dr. Rogozinski, Through vigorous and expeditious interpretation of the defined economic material, he stealthily synthesizes the significance of privitization in Mexico. Considering myself as a great conoisseur of his work, a High Price for Change is a masterpiece of all macroeconomic rhetorics. He determines the aggregate value of consideration through sectional interpretation of Mexico, not simply as a third world country of extreme potential growth, but as a site for a huge international economic market of export through limited resources.

As a final word, the material is concise, accurate, and to the point. Rogozinski follows up his stunning string of economic policy books with an equally powerful performance. This is a must-read for any economics enthusiast....

Must read book for couples wanting to work together
This is a perfect book to read and complete the surveys together with your significant other. I read this book in one sitting and can't wait to get started going through the surveys with my husband and seeing where we differ in our ideas and where we have the same ideas, and spend more time on sitting down and communicating together.

As most of your know with the busy schedules of work, home, kids, etc. it is hard to set time aside for yourself. The author gives you great insight into working on your own relationship also, and also provides follow up books if you want more knowledge about a certain area.

I would highly recommend this book to any couple working together or thinking of working together.

Couldn't put it down! A must read! Two huge thumbs up!
Dr. Menchik's provacative writing keep me on the edge of my seat from page one till the heart-wrenching end! The saga of his economic theory combined with the tension of the bitter supply/demand battle provides excitement for everyone from the beginning student in Econ 101 to the tenured professor of economics. I strongly recommend this thrilling tale for anyone interested in a good cost benefit analysis or other great economic theories! I can't wait for the sequels!

Excellent, thought-provoking and moving. A real eye-opener.
This is a work in the genre of Orwell's "Down and out in Paris and London." Immensely readable, despite the very serious nature of the work, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in development issues, untouchablity and in learning about how it must be to live in abject poverty. Kudos to the author for this fine contribution to the few works that exist on the subject.

The title of the book could have been: Read this if you....
Want to know why you are unhappy at work. OBTW this is Richard writing this...I am a Family Physician and I understand family systems. The foundation of the work compares organizational dysfunction to family dysfunction. It is a rational and easy to read book. It helped me understand the dynamics of my workplace and realize I needed to leave my job! Don't get me wrong....this is not the advise of the author. Once understanding the workplace is covered there are survival tips. For me I came to the conclusion there is little chance of recovery for the organization I worked with. A must read book for managers, owners and employees who want to grow and become healthier.

Excellent work/life reference guide with exercises
This collection of articles and exercises provides "cutting edge" resources in the work/family and work/life areas. The articles cover everything from flextime to recognition of the work and family issues faced by expatriates. This information is becoming more and more important in organizations throughout the world. A glance at the annual Fortune or other magazines that focus on the best companies to work for indicate the attention being focused on these issues. Interestingly new graduates are now asking these questions about the companies they are considering working for--and companies that ignore this may find themselves less able to hire the professionals they need (and the market for these folks continues to get tighter). The guide is expensive, but collecting up the work captured within it would be incredibly time-consuming and the coverage might not be as thorough. Although it is probably intended more for a human resources professional or teacher conducting training or informing employees and managers about work/life issues it could be a useful guide to assess your own ways of balancing and integrating you work and nonwork life. There could be application for a parent or church group to use the guide as well. If you hired a consultant to inform you on these issues and/or a trainer to conduct this training it would cost a lot more and you would have to bring them back again and again. One thing that was not addressed in the guide was what I will call "family friendly backlash" found in books like The Baby Boon, but I think this guide moves beyond this controversy by focusing on work AND life, not just work AND family. It is important to recognize that these are not just issues for people with small children, but issues that impact all working people.
