Practice Management Books

I found this book to be very helpful to my work as a consulting planner. The stories are excellent reminders of the battles hard fought. I agree that projects are better for the public process they go through. There has not been a good book on this subject, so Ms. Faga has written a great book for students, professionals and community activists alike.

Professor Wizelius presents an objective approach to Wind Power Projects and fundamental concepts. The book covers some important Wind Power aspects from A to Z - from technical issues to project development and commercial feasibility analysis. I strongly recommend this book to any one interested in the Wind Power or Renewable Energy business.

The Dilemma Of Psychology by psychologist and educator Lawrence LeShan is a carefully written scrutiny of the discipline and healing science of psychology. Accessibly written by a practicing psychologist holding deep reservations regarding the current state of his profession, The Dilemma Of Psychology candidly examines psychology's quest to understand the human condition and its state purpose to help people. LeShan questions a number of basic assumptions that are widespread among practitioners such as that "God is an Engineer." A thoughtful, openly presented treatise, The Dilemma Of Psychology is a highly recommended contribution to Psychology Studies reference collections and reading lists.

Selected by Brandon and Hill (Nursing Outlook, March-April, 1996) as one of best books for small nursing and medical libraries.

The Director's Guide to Best Practices is an excellent resource filled with reams of useful information that any nonprofit director can benefit from. For managers of nature, environmental learning and other natural resource centers this manual is particularly useful and a must have resource

The author talks about boosting up medical practices. Afterhaving finished reading it, I did not retain even one thought. Thewritting and the organization of the book are messy and the author is lost in details. There are no focus points (and then examples to illustrate these points). Really not worth spending the money and the time to read it. His material is only common sense and there is no added value to what normal you and me already know.

Author Hal Alpiar teaches consumers how to ask the right questions when choosing a physician for themselves or a family member. We are careful about choosing banks, restaurants, mechanics, but too many of us simply put our trust in anyone with an M.D. degree.

I have not read the book, but I am a relative of Peter Folliott and would love to be in contact with him. If possible, could he please contact me by email. Thankyou.

The book is packed with practical information and hints on efficient running of a dental practice. I read the book in two days, not because it lacks substance but because it is riveting for any dental practitioner or staff wishing to improve patient service or striving for efficiency. I would have liked to see more on case presentation, and specific technics which aid in case acceptance but perhaps that was not the scope of this book.

Confused over jargons and buzzwords such as CRM, MRO, B2B, B2E, e-Procurement? Loss in conversations about doing business over the Internet? Need a jump-start in understanding what e-Business and e-Commerce is all about? Then look no further. "E-Business Essentials" by Frank J Derfler may be the book you are looking for.

This book is probably the first of its kind that stresses on the importance of relationships in e-Business - relationships between your company and its customers, suppliers and employees. These relationships are the cornerstone to the three major building blocks of e-Business, Business to Consumer, Business to Business and Business to Employees. Each of these building blocks is discussed in details in its own section, substantiated with interesting real world case studies.

This book does not attempt to be a `how-to' manual. There are little or no technical design or architecture diagrams and definitely no code examples. Its main emphasis is on the `whys' and the `whats' of e-Business. Buzzwords and important concepts are conspicuously marked and defined in the margins of pages that discuss them.

Although written primarily for those with little or no exposure to the subject, it is by no means a 'Dummies' book. While it is written in layman's language and a style that is easy to understand, there are enough details to challenge the intellect. It will definitely lay a good foundation in the understanding of the fundamentals. Even those who have been in e-Business for a while will find this book refreshing and well organized.
