Teams Books

When Stevie points out how "helpful" Veronica is and gets the job of showing around a visiting Italian horse team, (a job that Veronica wanted) she doesn't expect this kind of revenge coming her way. Turns out, "someone" volunteered Stevie to run the Children's Hospital Festival, the school's Spring Fair, and debate for class president all on the same day. What's worse, Kate and Christene plan on visiting that weekend as well. Just when it turns out that Stevie won't have time for anything anymore, Mrs. Reg prompts them to see the problem in a different way. With the help of Carole, Lisa, Phil, Kate, Christene, and all four of the Italian boys, Stevie's able to pull everything off AND get back at Veronica! This book was one of the most delightful of the whole series. There's fun and laughs to be had on this whacky saddle club adventure. How did Stevie do it? That's for me to know, and for you to find out.

I liked this book a lot since the Saddle Club rides horses, KAte and Christine come, and they get even with Veronica.

This is a great book on Team Roping by author Leo Camarillo & I could be Joe Beaver the team roping (header) & my team roping (heeling) partner Alica Foster or Stephen Shore.

This is the man who turned team roping into an art form. It would be cool to do team roping in Las, Vegas Nevada at The National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center & other places would be cool & fun!

Leo Camarillo has a wife named Sharon & they live near Lockeford, California & continue to compete and win at rodeos throughout the country. Leo has a brother Jerold & cousin Reg Camarillo also conducts roping schools for aspiring ropers.

Now when two cowboys rope a steer, they must brand it & let it go back to it's mother...

I loved it!!!

i found this book at a time in my roping career where as most people get sometimes think they know it all and this book really helped me get back to the fundimentals and greatly improved my times, it also helped me with heeling where i was self taught and fairly concistent i am now as good a heeler as i am a header (almost). the book braught me back to the fundimentals, i think if it helped me it can help you.

From the first page, the author takes the reader off down a road full of page-turning suspense and clever intriguing plots. By adding the elements of wealth, fast cars and high fashion, a dimension of dazzling glamour is added to the story. As I was reading, I could already visualize this as a movie for the big screen; with such challenging characters, what fun it would be to cast this movie.

If you love a book that is packed full of action, intrigue, good versus evil, suspense, a bit of the mystical, humor, and a cast of unique characters, you'll love this book. Author Gerold really did his homework. Gary Gerold's love of sharp, classy fashions, foreign cultures, rare timepieces, and fast, exotic cars adds richness, fun, and realism to every scene. The first book in a trilogy, The TEAM Versus the Empire of Arrogance is a journey not to be missed! -CL Stewart

Very well written book that chronicles the 1984 football season of legendary superstar Clark Kennington and his supporting cast in Highland Park's drive for the Texas football title

What a great season and a great time for these young men. The team truly did have heart and these boys really did turn into men through their experience together. A feel good book with history and Texas high school football. Great combination!

I couldn't belive it when I went through the atic of my house and found my tatterd and well-used copy of The Team On and Off the Set. Ever since Ghostwriter went off the air, I've missed Gabby, Jamal, Lenni, Tina, Alex, and Rob, my only insight into the world of mysteries on TV. I grew up with the show, and to read the book was going back in time to my childhood again. Thank goodness it's on reruns on the cable channel Noggin now!

Ghostwriter was always my favorite show. I was pretty upset when it went off the air. One day, I just happened to find a copy of "The Team On and Off the Set" at a used bookstore. I was so happy! This book tells a lot of information about the actors of Ghostwriter. It's a perfect book for any Ghostwriter fans!

James Lewis presents team based project management in a clear and easy to understand method. The main points out highlighted making it easy to re-review those topics. I recommend this book for all Project Managers.

When I purchased this book, I half expected it to say how a Project Leader has to have personal skills and give some general suggestions about doing it. It surpassed my expectations, by being very practical.

I can see many of the suggestions he makes working on the company I work for. At the end of several chapters, Lewis provides some tasks you can get to work on to build your team, and keep it working.

Lewis writing style is great. He gives a lot of references, while keeping a good pace. He knows how to support his arguments on other authors without turning his book into an academic textbook.

I think a great companion book for this one would be "Getting It Done: How to lead when you are not in charge", since, IMHO, "Team-Based Project Management" is especially useful when you have the Project Manager title.

This book has a lot of things that will help your Team be a Team !

What an excellent guide for any company that currently has SDWT or is contemplating the idea. A must have! This book will guide you through the process, covering all topics from beginning to end. I love the completeness of the meeting management section! If you have ever sat through an unproductive, b-o-r-i-n-g meeting and desperate for productive, engaging meetings this book is for you! Although weary of teaming in the beginning, the use of the concepts in this book has increased productivity to 30%, we are all on board now! The transformation is sometimes painful and not at all easy, but in the end is worth it. Higher productivity, employee morale, product quality and employee engagement is all yours if you stick to the program! Avid business reader, this book is priceless!!

On se demande souvent pourquoi certains projets ou phases de projet atteignent une efficience magique, pourquoi des equipes se démarquent alors que d'autres pietinent. Ce que Lipnack et Stamps font dans leur livre, c'est de nous expliquer les facteurs qui declenchent cette magie, cette chimie qu'ils appellent le TeamNet Factor, et comment l'implanter dans les organisations. C'est bien fait, et ce qui est super, c'est que je peux maintenant creer cette chimie autour de moi.

Here is the basic concept of "Teamnet": the word "team" implies a group which is small, in the same place, and tightly coordinated; the word "network" implies connectivity which tends to be large, spread out, and loosely linked. "Teamnet" brings the best of both together. Lipnack and Stamps organize their excellent material within two Sections and then provide an Afterword ("The Risk of Democracy: Teamnets as the Hope for the 21st Century") and a Reference Section ("Transforming Bureaucracies and Systems"). The authors assert that teamnets create the "great competitive advantage of boundary crossing" and I agree. They identify "Five Teamnet Principles" (unifying purpose, independent members, voluntary links, multiple leaders, and interactive levels), explaining precisely how these principles shape and inform teamnetting initiatives. What I found especially interesting and informative are their analyses of various organizations which have created and sustained successful teamnets.

I want to stress two points when highly recommending this book. First, it was valuable in 1993 when first published but is even more valuable now because of all of the opportunities which the WWW continues to create. Eventually all organizations will be directly or indirectly involved in globalization, for example. The "Five Teamnet Principles" will continue to create almost unlimited potential applications. Also, with all due respect to major international corporations such as those the authors examine, I think their observations and suggestions will be of even greater value to small-to-midsize organizations in which teamwork and connectivity are not only desirable but indeed imperative.

this is the best book i have ever read if i had the time i would read this book a hundred times. The reason i bought this book is because ted williams is the best hitter in baseballs long history.

I am not the type of person to pick up a book about a sports figure even if I am a fan. I love history books especially Civil War, Napoleonic history and biographies of great leaders. I surprised myself by taking the time to read this book. If you are interested in Ted Williams or baseball especially during the era in which he played 1939-1960, this book could not be rated higher. The author has an introduction of Teds early life and then the remainder of the book is broken down so that each chapter covers a year of his career. This puts Teds life in context of World events which the author neatly weaves within its pages. During his career Ted Williams displayed and developed his hitting skills with the desire of becoming the "greatest hitter who ever lived". Hitting the ball was his obsession. His great desire to excel however was balanced by a contentious personality which was easily set off by the goading of the Boston media. Looking at his stats and realizing that almost 5 years of his life during his prime was spent in the military, I have no doubt that he would have broken Ruth's home run record. Ted Wiliams was both an artist and a scientist at hitting. He studied pitchers, strike zones, handling the bat like no other player. When Mickey Mantle was asked about converstaions with Ted Williams on hitting he said "He makes me crazy." Mickey Mantle did not understand the science of hitting.
Ted Williams probably was the greatest hitter that ever lived, but his personality marred his relationships with the Boston media, sometimes his team mates, and his own family.

I do have a few criticisms however. The book is called A Baseball Life, and that is the authors focus. Ted Williams was an intensely private man whether the author out of respect for Ted Williams or lack of investigation gives very little information on his private life. We learn some things about his family such as his mother was an ardent salvation army worker, yet we know nothing of how Ted Williams felt personally about spiritual matters. We also are denied any information on his relationships with his wife Doris or his daughter. The last chapter stops without little mention of his business interests or his managerial stint in the late 60's. Despite these ommissions, Ted Williams A Baseball Life is an exciting, informative look at perhaps the greatest hitter that ever lived yet at the same time considered by others a selfish egotist. When Joe Dimaggio was asked "what do you think of Ted Williams?" His reply was "greatest lefthanded hitter that ever lived?" " "What do you think of Ted Williams as a ballplayer?"
"greatest lefthanded hitter that ever lived".

Im 17 years old and hardly pick up a book , but I couldnt seem to put this one down , I find myself reading this book 3 hours a day. These are all articles of Ted Williams life that go in order from when he was a young kid to a old man. Its not just about his baseball side , but also about his love of fishing and who he really is behind the baseball image. It doesnt just tell you that he did something but how he did it ( dislike fans , visited kids in hospital , hate writers , sent money to his father even know he hadnt seen him in over 10 years , and why he was so generous to others ). Ive read alot about Ted Williams but I learned alot more about him in this book. I highly reccomend this book to anyone whos interested in " The Kid "

Compiled and edited by lifelong Boston Red Sox fan Lawrence Baldassaro (who is also Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Reflections On A Splendid Life: Ted Williams is a remarkable tribute to the talented baseball player who won six batting titles and two Triple Crowns, and in 1941, was the last player to hit over .400. In addition to his legend on the baseball field, he served as a fighter pilot in World War II and worked on behalf of the Jimmy Fund to fight against cancer in children. Reflections On A Splendid Life collects writings and photographs of Williams, from his rookie year in 1939 to his death in July 2002. Articles by sportswriters, best-selling authors, and those who knew and respected the remarkable Ted Williams fill the pages of this one-of-a-kind compilation. This is a "must read" for all Ted Williams fans!
