Online Books

I can't believe the amount of surfing that had to go into this book. Yeah, you could find all this yourself using a search engine, but the writers not only categorized hundreds of online stores by genre (i.e. science fiction specialists, college textbooks, etc.), but they also review each individual web site, pointing out what's good and on occasion, what could be a bit better. If you're into online bookstores, on an indie writer like me looking for smaller shops to hook up with, this is def worth the investment!

With this work, Colin Rule, who is one of the pioneers of ODR, and also an excellent writer, has given us much to consider about dispute resolution in cyberspace. The book is written for "managers, employees, union representatives, and others who are looking for a better way to handle conflict in their businesses and organizations." There is a interesting overview of the development of online dispute resolution. Also the author discusses his personal experiences in the field, which adds to the overall credibility of the book.

ODR originated in online disputes for which traditional means of dispute resolution were not suited. With as many as 500 million plus people online worldwide, as more businesses and individuals come to realise this significant point, ODR will flourish.

Challenges arising from ODR are covered in sufficient detail by the author and not only alert us to the issues, but also to suggest realistic ways of dealing with them. The author believes that businesses will come to use ODR as matter of course. His book makes a persuasive case for such an outcome.

This is a practical work on an important aspect of ADR.

Online Investing the Smart Way provides a wealth of information for investors who want to take advantage of what online investing offers. I found excellent internet sites for investors, advice on how to choose a good online broker (with information provided about some of the best).

I also liked the material about online scams and how to avoid them, as well as many helpful investing tips. The book includes a wealth of information that includes stock market strategies, ways to minimize and defer taxes, retirement plan strategies, day trading, and much much more. The author covers all the basics of investing in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, and shows how to put together a complete portfolio of investments without paying high commissions and putting up with stock salesmen.

Jim Hall has provided us with one of the finest analyses of the implication of the Internet for journalistic practices. After reading several books labelled under the this same subject, I was feeling very frustrated to find out that many of them were only re-packaged manuals of web design, that made few notes for journalist. Jim Hall's "Online Journalism" is a promising exception that will surely become a classic on the subject. As a journalist myself who has practiced in all media, including electronic versions and new media, I find Hall's book profoundly inspiring and deeply evocative. The book provides a holistic and critical view of the issue; he studies explores examples from all over the world and provides an impressive amount of evidence to sustain his arguments. Hall has accomplished a complete exploration, description and analysis that is sure to become a valuable reference tool and will provide a solid foundation for those interested in the subject.

First: Mona is an awesome facilitator. If all online faciltators would take cue from Mona, their classes would be much more successful! (I am a seasoned online learner so I can judge this fact.)
Second: In the future, when I become an online facilitator, Mona's insights will be the ones I take to heart and apply to my own online classroom.
Third: Mona has a wealth of experience to draw from. Therefore, her intuition is based on tried and true means of helping adults learn in an intensse environment that can leave the student behind quickly.
Thanks Mona!!!
