Training Books

Lovely story addressing many of the issues of young girls becoming women. Sheds light on the therapy dog program. Also on living in Colorado, and coping with feeling "different". Exceptionally good, as are most of the American Girl books.

Do you love puppy's, do you like skiing, do you like horseback riding if you do read this book! Nicki is a girl who cant say NO to anything. Nicki and her family live in a Colorado Ranch. She gets to train a puppy called Sprocket! Sprocket is adorable! But Sprocket takes up most of Nicki's time and there is a lot to do on a ranch. Like taking care of horses etc. This is the best book, I read it on my plaine ride to Utah and fell in puppy love! When I arrived in Utah all I talked about was the book I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

I got the Nicki doll with my Christmas money, and I read the book right away! It is a really good book, and I would recommend it to anyone ages 8 and up. This is my favorite American Girl book. I would also recommend my favorite books of all time, Inkheart and Inkspell by Cornelia Funke if you like adventure and suspense.
Love this book!
-Horse-cazy, book-crazy, doll-crazy, 11-year-old girl

Girls ages 8 and up will love this absorbing story of 10-year-old Nicki Fleming, who just can't say "no" to helping her mom raise Sprocket, a mixed breed shelter dog selected by a trainer for his potential to become a service dog. Already responsible for chores on the ranch, Nicki soon finds that raising Sprocket requires considerable time and patience, in addition to straining relationships both at home and at school. The lively plot abounds with conflict as it realistically portrays the ups and downs of raising a service dog. Will Nicki succeed in molding lovable, exuberant Sprocket into a dog who will someday assist a disabled person, or does Sprocket's destiny lie elsewhere? Readers will have to wait until Book Two to find out.

Shows the territory of organizational change, the roads to success and the path to the post-buzzword organization. No More Darn Buzzwords: Keys to Successful Organized Change provides great insight into the complexities of managing change and how to maneuver around them.

No More Darn Buzzwords: Keys To Successful Organized Change by David Chaudron (a Managing Partner of Organized Change Consultancy) is a quite practical and accessible instructional and informational guide for business and organizational planning that warns against overuse of "canned" or pre-prepared approaches and buzzwords, so frequently used by corporate managers when attempting to squeeze their unique structure into a mass-produced stratagem that may not be effectively tailored for their own needs. Individual chapters succinctly address how to develop and implement plans that are geared specifically to what one's individual business requires, successful assessment and measurement, facilitating teamwork, improving training methods, and much, much more. No More Darn Buzzwords is strongly recommended as being an excellent and advantageous resource.

"No More Darn Buzzwords: Keys to Successful Organized Change" provides great insight into the complexities of managing change and how to maneuver around them. I highly recommend it!

Master Oshima Sensei starts off with his "Notes on Training" where the late Grand Master Funakoshi Sensei finishes with his now infamous "Karate-do Kyohan".

Similar in size to the Karate-do Kyohan and with only 252 pages, it's not a very large book. Although the translation is a little awkward, it's written clearly and easily enough to work though quite quickly. However, students should note that it is a book that needs to be read a few times during different stages of ones training. Then the import of what Oshima Sensei is teaching will sink in.

I'm so happy that I managed to obtain a copy and I hope that it is reprinted soon, for as far as I'm concerned (in my humble opinion) it is almost equal in value to the lessons taught in the Karate-do Kyohan.

There are no pictures, except for a few kanji at the beginning of the book and may not excite many students, except the serious or senior karate-ka. But it really is worth it's weight in gold and I'm glad I persisted in hunting down my own copy.

Please check the glowing reviews on Amazon.com as well. You won't find one negative remark.

The book goes into great and detailed depth on Kata, Kihon and kumite. You will learn and study things here that are not covered in any other book covering Shotokan karate. Take a moment to look at the pictures I have submitted above showing the contents index and front and back flaps to give you a flavour of it's content.

Oshima Sensei's karate experience (over 50 years) is evident right from the start of the book. He was one of Gichin Funakoshi's last direct students and also studied under and alongside such greats as Master Egami.

The title does not do it justice unless you know Mr. Ohshima, then you'll understand how important it is for a martial artist to have his notes on training. Meanings of katas and techniques are explained and directions on applications are given. If you are training in shotokan and wondering about anything, you open this book and there is a very good chance you'll find it in there.

Tsutomu Ohshima has the distinction of being one of the few men still living who studied under Shotokan Karate founder Gichen Funakoshi At Waseda University. This volume is a collection of Ohshima Sensei's insights and advice, originally published in the _Shotokan Karate of America_ newsletter between 1965 and 1995.

This is definately a book for the academic minded who are seeking the "why's" of Karate and like details. Please be aware that there are no photo-instruction sequences in this book, and the reader is assumed to have some familiarity with Japanese terminology (there is a glossary, see page 245). In other words, this book doesn't pretend to teach you karate, it has been published for people who are already familiar with at least the fundamentals of the art.

Ohshima offers pointers, and spices much of his advice with personal recollections from his days with Funakoshi Sensei. The tone of the book is kindly and the instruction has a personal feel to it. At no time did I find Ohshima coming across as arrogant or unduly harsh. He goes out of his way to give us the "why" of each technique, justifying little movements in kata which some of us may have thought useless or obsolete. Ohshima Sensei breaks the volume down into five parts. In the first section, "Kata" (Forms), 17 subchapters discuss the fine points of everything from Taikyoku, the 3 Tekki and 5 Heian, to Bassai, Kwanku, Hangetsu, Jutte, Empi, Gankaku, Jion, and even a favorite form of Gichen Funakoshi's son Gigo Funakoshi, Ten-no-Kata ("Heaven's Form", this chapter is very interesting!). The second section, "Kihon" (Basics), Ohshima details specific stances and techniques as well as how to practice, tactics such as Kime (focus) Sabaki (Evading), Ukemi (Falling), Ashibarai (Sweeping), and so on. A total of 41 subchapters are included in this section.

In section three, "Kumite" (Sparring), Ohshima discusses Ten no Kata Ura (Heaven's Form Application), Sanbon Kumite (Three-technique sparring), Kihon Ippon Kumite (One technique sparring), Jiyu Kumite (Free Sparring), Self Defense, Torite (Escaping), Irimi (Getting into the opponent), and other subjects, for a total of 11 subchapters. The fourth section, "Practice" discusses the meaning and reason behind Rei (bowing), Healthy Practice, Special Training, Mental Blocks, Ma (Distance and Timing), Speed and Rythm, Grading (reccomendations, requirements for testing), Fasting, and more for a total of 18 subchapters. The last section, "Karate-do" includes three subchapters, "Why We Practice", "Our Goal for the Twenty-First Century", and the "Afterword".

If you're looking for a pictoral technical guide to kata or technique, or would like to know about the history of Shotokan, this probably isn't the book for you--try Funakoshi's "Karate-Do Kyohan" or any of the books by Randall Hassell. I recommend this volume for serious students of Shotokan karate or Shotokan derivatives and relatives which practice the same techniques and kata, such as Tang Soo Do, Cerio Kenpo, Wado Ryu, etc. Tsutomu Ohshima's "Notes on Training" makes a superb supplement to "Karate-Do Kyohan".

Shihan Ohshima's book "Notes On Training" is destined to become one of the all time classic works on the martial art of Shotokan Karate-do. In my 40 years of practicing and instructing traditional Shotokan Karate-do, aside from the "Master Text" ( "Karate-do Kyohan" ), I don't believe I have ever read a more important and valuable volume on this classical Japanese/Okinawan martial art. I would urge all Shotokan karate-ka ( practitioners ) to read and re-read this book. My one caveat would be that I believe this book will hold more meaning for those karate-ka that have reached the intermediate ( Yonkyu, Sankyu, Nikyu, etc. ) and advanced stages of training as opposed to a rank beginner. Also, allow me to make clear the point that it maters not what branch, organization, or faction of the Shotokan community the karate-ka is associated with, Master Ohsima's book holds much wisdom for all. The sections on Kata and Kihon are superb. The break down of the biomechanics of the various techniques are alone worth the price of the volume. But, there is so very much more. Concepts such as Sen-No-Sen and Go-No-Sen which are usually passed over in other such books are dealt with in detail here. Profound, intelligent, and illuminating are a few of the well chosen words I would use to describe this book. We are all indeed fortunate to have a Master Instructor such as Tsutomu Ohshima willing to generously share so much with us.

The Nun and the Bureaucrat is so simple, inviting, and fascinating that it is easily read in a sitting. It should be required reading for every university program in Nursing and Management. In fact, every administrator, faculty member, and graduate must in the future know the profound lessons this book so tersely describes. What a delightful way to begin a quality journey into systems thinking and organizational transformation so demanded in American institutions from business, education, government, not-for-profits, NGOs.

Savary and Crawford-Mason have done an analysis of dramatic improvement in health care delivery in two hospital systems. This book provides insight into the benefits of using systmes thinking for organizational transformation. The authors allow the players--doctors, nurses, aides, administrators--to tell their stories.

Those hospitals challenged to improve patient satisfaction and optimum patient care will find this book inspiring. Those hospitals already doing continuous quality improvement will find interesting supportive examples.

The book is a good illustration of the benefits of total engagement of everyone involved in the process of review and recommendation for continued improvements in all processes.

Dr. Marylouise Fennell, Hospital Board Member

Since we have had several personal experiences of almost dying or being infected after a medical procedure, we tuned into the PBS broadcast of the documentary "Good News... How Hospitals Heal Themselves". It was so revealing that we got the book for both personal and business reasons. In our business, ESF, Inc., we frequently deal with hospitals and those in the medical and nursing professions. Both my husband, Dr. Peter J. Esseff, and I feel this book should be read by personnel in every hospital from administrator to janitor. The "Systems Thinking" initiatives put into effect by the hospitals in the two "Good News" health care systems (SSM Health Care, St. Louis, Mo. comprised of 23 hospitals, and the Pittsburgh Regional Health Care Initiative, Pittsburgh, PA, comprised of 40 hospitals) demonstrated how a variety of "hospital diseases" could be treated and eventually eradicated. These initiatives were used initially by Dr. W. Edwards Deming in helping Japan "work smarter, not harder" in improving their auto manufacturing industry. In these two health care systems, statistics are given that demonstrate how the hospitals were able to: focus more on patients' needs; reduce costs, deaths, suffering, infections, duplication of services, waste of time and supplies; avoid deadly mistakes; streamline their bureaucracy; and work as a Team, from the top to the bottom of the chain of employees, by not placing blame for errors committed and empowering their workers to recommend changes to improve the quality of care in the hospitals.

The Savary/Crawford-Mason book takes the reader through the step-by-step process used by the two "good news" health care systems and described what each step in the process achieved. "The Nun and the Bureaucrat" is filled with specific examples of what the problem was and how the hospital solved it, sometimes in creative ways, but more often in logical ways that make us wonder why someone didn't think of that sooner. The positive results achieved through these initiatives are astounding.

What an incredible impact it would be on our entire health care system if these "Systems Thinking" initiatives could be enacted country wide in every medical facility. It gives us hope for curing our sick hospitals. It gives us hope for reducing our ever-increasing health care costs. It gives us hope for raising the standard of health care.

Everyone should read "The Nun and the Bureaucrat--How They Found an Unlikely Cure for America's Sick Hospitals" and pressure their hospital administrators, community, state, and federal officials to apply these "Systems Thinking" initiatives to our health care system nationwide.

School systems should do likewise.

Read this book and give it to your doctor and your hospital administrator and they will learn how to reduce waste, suffering, hospital-acquired infections, costs, errors and improve patient safety and save lives. And additional money or government regulations are not required to begin this improvement plan.

In the book, doctors and nurses explain how they didn't believe systems thinking would improve their hospitals. But to their delight, it did and they are saving lives, making fewer errors and enjoying their work.

I am the co-author of this book and believe the comments from the experts on the back cover of the book say it all.

"If you think that hospital care cannot be significantly improved in quality and cost, you have another think coming. Read this book."
Russell Ackoff, Professor Emeritus, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Author, Ackoff's Best, Re-creating the Corporation, and Redesigning Society (with Sheldon Roven)


"This book describes the kind of leadership that's essential for making our hospitals safe and patient friendly and at the same time cutting costs by driving out waste. And that is leadership that employs systems thinking to realize an inspiring vision. Read this book to learn how two leaders educated and transformed their hospitals. They show the way that others can and should follow."
Michael Maccoby, MD, Anthropologist, psychoanalyst and consultant on leadership, strategy and organization. Author, The Gamesman; Why Work?: Motivating the New Work Force; and the Productive Narcissist: The Promise and Perils of Visionary Leadership.


"Most of us realize that living and doing daily work requires us to depend on other people and predictable work processes. Taking those understandings into health care and the work of improving it is a complex undertaking. These authors have created an inviting introduction to health care as a system. In the midst of widespread recognition that we must improve our health care, they offer a starting point for creating the changes we need. Their attention to the insightful people making these changes happen allows us to learn from what's working. They have seen what is hard to see at first: health care as a system. Their writing is clear and inviting. In short, this is a welcome addition to the public conversation. Read it, share it and tell your elected officials about what you now understand needs to be encouraged to make health care better."
Paul Batalden, M.D., Professor, Dartmouth Medical School


"If ever there was an idea whose time as has come, this is the idea and this is the time.
Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist

"This book gives me hope that we can make similar improvements at many hospitals around the country."

All instructional designers creating instructor led, blended, or e-learning should read this book and have plenty of post-its or flags on hand. I found many great new ideas that I can adapt and use in a variety of learning environments. This is a great reference book that those in ID should keep at arms length as they are designing.

Patti Shank has collected a treasure trove of interactive ideas for all types of online learning -- synchronous, asynchronous, instructor-led, and self-directed. Even experienced designers and developers are sure to find new and creative ideas for improving online programs. In fact, I came up with innovative ideas for my classroom training (particularly in the synchronous training chapter.) All you need is a little imagination to use these ideas to solve a wide range of learning challenges. When the examples are not proprietary, Patti provides links so you can see the ideas in action. For example, the book references two low-cost software programs to help assess learning (e.g., Hot Potatoes and Quiz Game Master.) A companion CD in the next edition of this book would be a great asset for helping visualize some of the ideas presented.

I suggest The Online Learning Idea Book be a part of your "toolkit" for designing any type of online learning program. You can also feel confident that the Patti's collection of ideas are based on solid performance improvement theory and will make a true impact on your learners.

Patti Shank has collected great ideas about online learning and teaching from all over the globe. If you are an online instructor or instructional designer looking for new ways to involve and engage your learners, you'll be inspired by this book!

This book takes an interesting approach to online learning. Rather than an author expounding on some specific learning methodology that's guaranteed to revolutionize your system and your learners, Patti Shank collects ideas from practitioners in the field including her own experiences. Most of the contributors provided more than one idea to the text, but there are still at least 30 different viewpoints represented. And, the contributors seem to come from a wide spectrum of (mostly U.S.) educators in both corporate training and higher education.

The book contains almost 100 ideas broken into 10 broad categories related to online learning. Sections like: Ideas for Making Collaboration Work, Ideas for Supporting Learners and Learning, Ideas for Synchronous Activities, etc. Each idea is presented succinctly in 1-4 pages outline style. And, each is detailed by what the idea is, why you would want to use it, how you might use it and who to contact for more information (if needed). Most ideas contain at least one screen shot showing the idea "in action".

As a software developer, I have spent the last 15 years on the "other side" of online learning: designing, building and operationally supporting a number of Learning Management Systems. So many of these ideas presented here were quite familiar to me. The rest ran the gamut from insightful to kind of campy. However, the format made for a fast and easy read. Well worth the time spent.

The book is probably best suited for educators and instructional designers looking to find ways to spruce up their offerings or increase the effectiveness of their material. All of the ideas are aimed at increasing the interactivity of online learning.

For someone interested in online learning and looking to see what kinds of tools and techniques are out there, this book is a great survey of current practice.

This book was easy to follow, had a great layout, and the pictures on how to do the excercises actually made sense!

Thank you for getting me excited about exercising again! I am buying this book for everyone in my family this year!

Thank you for getting me excited about exercising again! I am buying this book for everyone in my family this year!

This was one of the few fitness books that was well designed, easy to understand, and helped me to stick with my exercise and nutrition goals.

I absolutely love my journal - it was the only journal I found that walked me through how to set goals and really figure out what I wanted out of my fitness program. The journal pages are excellent - I track everything! And the other thing that I always use in the gym is the section with photos on different exercises. I highly recommend it...

I have been a student of Taoism for over 40 years and try to accumulate as much literature on the subject as I can. This particular book is a very good find. I have been (and still am) enjoying it immensely. And Amazon.com helped me in finding this book at a great value.

Original Tao is a wonderful translation of an often over-looked text. The verses contained within this short work rival and often surpass those found in the more well known Taoist classic, Lau-tzu.

In addition to the translation, Professor Roth's commentary on Chinese mysticism is phenomenal and provides an interesting back-drop to the history of Taoist thought.

I highly recommend this book to both newcomers and veterans of Taoism

The centre of this 200-pages book is the critical edition of the Chinese text and the scholar translation of the Nei Ye (55 pages). Before and after this part, an introduction and 4 other chapters trace the history of the text, its contents and structure, its position in the context of the early Taoist mysticism and its position in the context of the early Taoism in general.

The Nei Ye is not a recent discovery; it was known since millennia but, buried in a supposed Confucian miscellany, its actual contents and significance have been since long overlooked. This book attempts, with success, to re-assess them, placing this work at the origins of Taoist mysticism, as the earliest extant text of the tradition which will later express more widely known works like Laozi and Zhuangzi.

"Original Tao" is a scholar book, it is not an 'easy' reading and the reader without any familiarity with ancient China's history and philosophy will be easily overwhelmed by the amount of names, data, quotations and so on.

On the other hand, its language is not too technical, and basic concepts are never taken for granted but appropriately introduced. And, above all, the new lights it casts on (and the grounds it provides for) the development of the early Taoist mysticism are for sure of great interest even to the layman who knows Taoism only through (more or less sound translations of) the Laozi and the Zhuangzi.

While not really new (it has now about 10 years), this book is definitely to recommend to anybody with a non-casual interest on Taoism.

The only (small) criticism I can make is the use of an old Chinese transliteration system instead of the now more widely used pinyin system.

Original Tao provides a new translation and commentary which revise Taoism's origins and reflect new historic discoveries, uncovering the original expressions of Taoist philosophy and using original texts as masterworks for revision. From an introduction of short poetic verses devoted to meditation to the author's contention that the seminal Taoist work Inward Training is the foundational text of early Taoism, this provides an intriguing new examination.

I got this one in hardback from the public library before I bought this paperback version. I liked the hardback version, but I was disappointed with the paperback version and here's why:

It appears as if the pictures are copies of copies of copies taken out of the the original hardback and copied right on some copier rather than done correctly all over again, and there is at least one VERY GOOD picture M I S S I N G!!!!--one of my favorites--where Bob is reading a magazine or paper up close and he has his hat on. NOT DONE RIGHT IS ALSO A TOP FAVORITE: the one where Bob Dylan is playing chess at a French cafe--REALLY REALLY GOOD ONE, I love that one very much--but it still seems COPY OF COPY OF COPY quality--IT IS DARK AND GRITTY. The quality of the pictures in the original hardback book are FAR superior. and I SEE it. I did a copy of the one at the cafe on a copier before I returned the book to the library and believe me it is BETTER quality than the one in this paperback version!!! AAAAHHHHH!!! Maybe people won't notice, but I do notice it. Unfortunately I had to return the hardback book to the library.

P L E A S E TELL THE PUBLISHER TO R E D O THIS BOOK PROPERLY AND RESPECT Bob Dylan's fans because we want quality pictures. This book deserves to be done again properly. Paperback is okay to save the forests, but the quality of the pictures has something to do with the process and technology that they use. They just dished out a paperback version and copied the pictures from some other copies (as I see it) just to make money with no concern about the QUALITY OF THE PICTURES.

May I also suggest Dylan: Visions, Portraits & Back Pages as a book with FAR FAR FAR FAR SUPERIOR quality pictures and it even costs less!

Please do this PICTURE BOOK all over again, PUBLISHERS!!! These pictures deserve FIRST QUALITY production.

These photos will absolutely break your heart.
They will break your heart absolutely. If you love Dylan and the mythology he created around himself, this book will give you a glimpse behind the curtain. The images of Joan Baez and Dylan are so gorgeous you'll want to duck out of your busy life and cry for five crucial minutes. The image of a back-lit Bob and a shadowy Joan in profile is a just, simple ode to these monoliths. These photos give us what we've intimated about Bob all along.

many of these photos became icons over the years. not only absorbing photos of dylan, but classics of the photographic art. dylan was lucky during this period to be photographed by so many excellent photographers: kramer's work is the best

This seems to be a reprint of a book that first came out in the 60's. I still have my copy but it's a smaller format than this reprint. It is chock full of great photos of Dylan being whimsical and eccentric, posing in a studio setting. Very professional. All seem to be from the "Highway 61 Revisited" period (1965)when Dylan affected a "mod" style of clothes, including polka-dot shirts and Beatle boots. This is a treasure for any Dylan addict. Except for one essay, the book is all photos without text.

This is a lovely, paperback book and I recommend for those with young riders in their home or barn. Not too simple, and not too complex, the stories are entertaining and unique! Again, gorgous photos and a beatiful layout. A great gift idea for any young person who loves horses or American Indians.

Leadership through trust and respect is one of the many lessons the young reader will learn from this book. The simple tools and techniques for starting a line of communication with horses are presented in a wise and gentle manner. Indeed, the Native American philosophy of teaching horses coincides with their attitude toward all animals living on, in, or above Mother Earth, and that is responsibility for them and mutual respect among and between them. GaWaNi Pony Boy speaks of creating the right environment for understanding, and his thoughts, words, and deeds are relevant to everyday life. The book is artfully laid out and contains beautiful and decoratively captioned photographs. There are several Native American tales and sayings, such as, "...the reason Creator gave two-leggeds two ears and one mouth was so that we would listen twice as much as we talk." I found this book to be a most enjoyable learning experience and recommend it to adults and youngsters alike.

I have owned this book for years. I still read it when it is not possible to feel the wind in my hair for real. The breathtaking pictures, the lovely stories and the obvious connection GaWaNi has with Kola, his horse, all make this an outstanding book and mini escape for me. Thank you Mr. Pony Boy and Ms. Boiselle!

Nice pics but not a HUGE amount of substance. But, girls who love horses aren't looking for a lot of that anyway! They want pictures and romantic thoughts about being with horses. That's what they get!

very happy with product and delivery good aswell. the only issue i had was the expected delivery date was about 6 weeks from date of order and while they arrived after 2 weeks its a bit much to cover the bases by that much.............

Lets you enter shot by shot in detail. You can see what areas of your game you need to work on.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loved it! It allows him to really accurately compare each round of golf and how he is improving. It's very detailed and it's small size allows you to take it with you to the golf course. I'd say it's a great, fun gift for you or a golf lover in your life.

If you think your memory serves you well on the courses you play regularly, you're in for a surprise. When I first saw a friend of mine using one of these I kidded him about getting old and losing his memory. He told me a pro recommended it for "fine-tuning" your club selection and that it had taken a couple of strokes off his game on the courses he played regularly (when you're a low-handicapper like him you're looking for all kinds of edges).

I wasn't convinced, but for less than $10 I also didn't think I had anything to lose. Now I wish I had picked one up a long time ago - I'm going to need another one soon, because I fill it out religiously and even keep a photocopy in the office in case I lose it or my bag gets stolen.

It's like having a caddy that has seen every shot you've ever made on every hole standing with you as you look at the bag and start thinking how you're going to swing the club. Sure, there are guys who look at me like I'm waaayyy tooooo serious about the game when I pull it out, but if the game's close, tough.

It also proves how selective your memory can be if you play a lot. A couple of times I've argued with myself about what's in the book versus what my gut tells me I ought to do. But if I'm standing in a sort-of familiar spot and 60% of the time I've made the green in two by using a 5 iron and 40% of the time I didn't because I used more stroke on a 7, well, you figure it out. It's not always dramatic, but statistics don't often lie if you're honest about what you put down.

I also used it to have a pro help me with some trouble-spots, shots that I sort-of knew I needed to learn how to make. They showed up in the numbers after a few weeks. He could tell I was struggling in a few positions on a couple of holes - I was trying too many different clubs and strokes to get over hazards.

Now if we can just get this in a PDA somehow!
