Stanley Books

A school or community library is more than just a brick-and-board structure housing books on its shelves, it is also a group of people, professionals and volunteers, who work together to make those books as accessible as possible to the students, patrons, and communities they serve. The latest addition in the Neal-Schuman 'A How-To-Do-It Manual' series of instructional guides, "Managing Library Employees" by Mary J. Stanley (Director of Human Resources, Indiana University and Purdue University, Indianapolis) focuses specifically on the management responsibilities of library directors and supervisors. A basic and highly recommended primer, "Managing Library Employees" is a compendium of real-world tested advice, strategies, tips, techniques, recommendations, and illustrative examples, as well as ready-to-use templates, sample documents, letters, and checklists. The text is accessibly organized in a Question & Answer format and cover covers all of the pertinent issues ranging from writing job descriptions and conducting interviews, to enhancing staff job satisfaction and motivation, to setting up a 403(B) or a 401(K) plan, to the legal implications of disciplining or terminating a staff member, to downsizing the staff when necessitated by budget cuts. Like all corporate and non-profit agencies, office politics will inevitably occur, that will ensure that "Managing Library Employees" will continue to have relevance and importance as a reference resource for both the novice as well as the experienced library director.

This is a short version, upgraded, of S. Moore's _Marx on the Choice between Socialism and Communism_. The author's argument is:
"Pointing out that Marx deffines communist economies as classless economies without markets, this book examines his claim that classless economies with markets are in some sense inferior to communist economies. From its analysis, two conclusions emerge. First, Marx's major arguments for abolishing commodity exchange rely on moral and philosophical premises, derived from Feuerback in the earlier writings and from Hegel in the later. Second, Marx's ideal of a communist economy is incompatible with his materialist approach to history...'

This is an excellent book which covers many great ideas and potential methodologies applied to derivative pricing. It should have been published much earlier.

Great if you would like to understand the pros and cons of matrix organizations -- when to use them and when not, as well as how to implement them and pitfalls. Includes case studies.

I was a high school student who went through this book as a Junior. With its simple-but-powerful examples, my faith truly grew feet and, so, impacted my entire school. I recommend this as a tool to take the students wanting more "meat and potatoes" from church to the next level.

The material is so easy to use I taught it one year later as a Senior to a morning group at my public high school. FANTASTIC tool!

Paradoxically, physicians' compensation has shrunk in spite of the dramatically rising wave of health care costs. Arcane billing terminology, continuous downward pressure on allowed fees, systematic invention of new reasons for underpayments and denials, coordinated drive to oligopsony, and escalating campaign for more post-payment audits, refunds, and penalties - that's only a partial list of a growing arsenal designed by the insurers to increase their share value at the expense of health care providers.

This book focuses on designing accountable and transparent billing processes that firmly place control back into the hands of the practice owner. In contrast to many billing books that separate billing from the rest of practice operations, this book takes a broader all-encompassing perspective and provides an excellent set of tools to evaluate the efficacy of your billing. It uses an analytical approach to present concrete, practical information including procedures and policies that focus on setting up billing and collection, controlling patient payments, and handling third-party insurers. Multiple flowcharts, graphs, and tables elucidate the tremendous complexity of the billing process.

Don't buy this book if you know your practice has already maximized its billing. Do buy this book and return to it frequently if you are looking for a text to help you design a process to maximize your billing and collections.

Editor Jane C. Desmond brings together a collection of provocative essays analyzing ballet, modern, and post-modern dance from feminist and multi-cultural perspectives. Some prominent topics include: 1) The male gaze and dance performance; 2) Objective versus subjective performance; 3) Michel Foucault's Docile Body Theory and Dance; 4) Gender difference and aesthetic virtues; 5) Nationalism versus the racial "other"; 6) Combining the universal and the personal through autobiographical performance.

Authoritative, thought-provoking work; I have assigned it many times in a History of Medicine course and many students actually read and respond to it.

Amazon is listing it at $77, which is about 5x the cost of the book last year. What does this signify?
