Customer Reviews:
Very useful!.......2007-09-03
I love this book. I use it weekly, and most of my employees come to my office to use it as a reference. The letters are a great starting point to customize to your business, as well as excellent in and of themselves. I would recommend this to any administrative assistant or manager.
May I give back!.......2000-08-02
The cover page is very attractive but in reality the content is not so useful. First of all, there is only one example in each page. I think this is wastage of empty places. Secondly, there are very little examples for each topic. In short, I was waiting different sentences for every situation for example In Order Topic - Ordering: example sentences for introduction, development and conclusion; Order Confirmation: example sentences for introduction, development and conclusion.... But I couldn't find this in this book.
Great book for anyone with an attitude problem........1999-01-14
I mistakenly assumed all business reference guides provided, above all else, a professional format. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Muckian & Woods' Business Letter Handbook. Particularly, I was disappointed in the model letters, to say the least. I would be embarrassed to have written the letter in the complaint section. Honestly, who would begin a letter, "Am I wrong or isn't it your responsibility..."? (Mind you, I've already returned the book for credit and this quote is taken from memory, so I apologize for any miswording.) And since when is it professional to interject cute phrases like, "But seriously..." or "Just kidding..." in a congratulatory letter? What business person would write like this in a real situation? Were Muckian & Woods bored with formal business writing and wanted to loosen up all of us stuffed shirts? Maybe next time I need guidance on business letter writing, I'll call Jerry Seinfeld. He's not doing much these days.

Customer Reviews:
An efficient tool.......2005-10-01
I browsed through this book very briefly at a local book sale. It seemed like it could be a very efficient memo creating tool and I was very tempted to buy it. However, I finally did not pick it up because I felt a CD containing all the memos would be more productive right away.
Nevertheless, it seems like a useful book to have a manager's desk.

Book Description
Most scientists, engineers, and other professionals in technical fields are quite comfortable using their analytical skills and carrying out the most detail-oriented research. Yet when it comes to communicating highly technical information to others in a manner that is both clear and concise, even the best minds are often at a loss.
Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers shows technically oriented individuals how to communicate their ideas clearly to a wide range of audiences. The author uses two distinct formulas to help compose all kinds of effective, lucidly written correspondence.
The first formula is a four-step process called "AIDA," which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. This formula enables busy professionals to organize their thoughts and communicate them clearly, directly, and accurately.
The second formula covered in the book, "IBC," or Introduction, Body, and Conclusion, shows how to break down every memo into its three most important parts. Step-by-step and with specific examples, the author illustrates how to set up an introduction, communicate the desired information, and develop a conclusion.
In addition to these formulas, you'll learn how to: avoid the common pitfalls of writing letters and memos; make correspondence more effective; make lengthy documents more readable; and virtually guarantee that a recipient will read and understand the basic message.
You'll also find two chapters of boilerplate letters and memos on more than 125 different subjects, all written by technical professionals who are also accomplished writers and communicators. Because they can easily be used as templates for crafting similar communications, these sample letters are included on the computer disk accompanying the text.
For any technical professional who needs to communicate in writing clearly, quickly, and accurately, Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers is an indispensable, time-saving resource.
An invaluable resource for technical professionals who want to communicate their ideas quickly and effectively
Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers takes the struggle out of the writing process by demonstrating how to put any kind of information, no matter how technical, into a form that can be easily read and understood.
This practical, time-saving guide shows you how to:
- Structure an effective letter/memo
- Create and maintain interest in your correspondence
- Elicit the desired response from your reader
- Make a lengthy document more readable
- Avoid the ten most common mistakes letter/memo writers make
This indispensable resource also offers nearly 200 examples of effective technical letters and memos and an accompanying computer disk that includes all the letters and memos in the text for easy and immediate application.

Book Description
Daniel Clark demonstrates the dramatic impact unionization made on the lives of textile workers in Henderson, North Carolina, in the decade after World War II. Focusing on the Harriet and Henderson Cotton Mills, he shows that workers valued the Textile Workers Union of America for more than the higher wages and improved benefits it secured for them. Specifically, Clark points to the importance members placed on union-instituted grievance and arbitration procedures, which most labor historians have seen as impediments rather than improvements.
From the signing of contracts in 1943 until a devastating strike fifteen years later, the union gave local workers the tools they needed to secure at least some measure of workplace autonomy and respect from their employer. Union-instituted grievance procedures were not without flaws, says Clark, but they were the linchpin of these efforts. When arbitration and grievance agreements collapsed in 1958, the result was the strike that ultimately broke the union. Based on complete access to company archives and transcripts of grievance hearings, this case study recasts our understanding of labor-management relations in the postwar South.

Book Description
Bognanno and Coleman offer the most comprehensive, current, and valuable work on arbitrators and their professional practice. The contributors to this volume describe paths of career entry, compensation, demographics, market conditions facing arbitrators, and caseloads. The empirically based findings are drawn from a representative sampling of all the nation's arbitrators and afford a previously unavailable picture. The reader gains important insights into these decisionmakers' backgrounds, career development, arbital experiences, and aspirations. This work is especially important because many of the arbitrators' characteristics, which are captured and described herein, are seen to be enduring or open only to change over an extended time period. The material, fascinating in its detailed analysis of a vital but surprisingly unstudied profession, presents a rich analysis of an occupation that has played a societal role of major significance from earliest times. A work, accordingly, of widespread interest and value relating to the ever fertile fields of dispute resolution.

Book Description
An extension of Labor Arbitration: An Annotated Bibliography, this volume intends to provide a larger sense of history, of institutional development, and of the abiding questions that have been raised in and about labor arbitration. The editors focus on substantial professional and academic studies of labor arbitration in the United States and Canada, drawing material from books, monographs, analytical articles in professional and academic journals, and selections from the proceedings of the meetings of academic and professional societies. In response to the changing demands made upon arbitrators, the editors have extended their coverage to include alternative dispute resolution and the Americans with Disabilities Act. A large section of the book deals with employment arbitration and matters such as wrongful discharge. Coverage of arbitration outside North America is also expanded in the current volume, which is based upon computer searches of the most widely used data bases and on cover-to-cover searches of the twenty leading journals in the field.
