Book Description
You can't afford even one accident! Careful planning can help avoid tragic - and costly - accidents. Why do you need this book? The answer is simple: agriculture is a hazardous industry. Farming and ranching can be uniquely rewarding occupations, but if you don't follow safe work practices they can be dangerous. According to the National Safety Council (NSC),there were an estimated 1,200 agricultural work-related deaths and 140,000 disabling work-related injuries in the United States in 1992. But you already knew farming and ranching are filled with danger. What you maybe do not know so well is what you can do about it. This book will tell you. We will tell and show you 21 ways to avoid the No. 1 fatal farm accident...and that's just for starters. We show you very practical ways to avoid pinch points; wrapping, shearing, crushing, and pull-in hazards; thrown objects and freewheeling parts; electrical and stored energy; and much, much more. Farm and Ranch Safety Management is the definitive reference work in rural safety. This 358-page book is filled with EPA, OSHA, and other regulatory agency standards and suggested ways to meet or exceed those standards. Topics covered in simple, straightforward language include safety machine operation, handling toxic chemicals, hazardous waste disposal, and developing an overall safety management plan.

Book Description
Knowing how to negotiate a job offer is a must for everyone, whether entering the work force for the first time or planning a job change. Not only does negotiation determine how much an employer will pay in salary, benefits, and perks, but it also in-flu-ences how a potential employee is regarded. Expert nego-tiators Pinkley and Northcraft have created a step-by-step blueprint for negotiating any offer, including: -Why there may be more money available than there seems -How to 'expand the pie' to earn higher compensation -How to bluff and what to do if the bluff is called.
Customer Reviews:
Average book.......2005-09-13
Ok. I did not like this book that much but it has some good information inside. It just felt like a cheap knockoff of "How to make 1000 a minute" yet it still had some fresh sections. If you only want one book on negotiation, pass on this one. If you already have 1000 a minute and want more info, get "What color is your parachute"?
If you got both and want more info, this one fits the bill. I give it a generous 2 stars because it has some ok tips and a very excellent chapter 9 "Lessons learned from job applicants and employers".
That chapter along with the rest of the mediocre book, make for an average rating 2.5 out of five on a VERY generous scale. In fact on a non generous scale I would probably rate this a 1.
If you still want this book, I'll sell you mine at half price.
Not worth the time unless you are..........2005-07-20
This book was written for Harvard graduates. It is dated and doesn't take into account current market condition. The book assumes all applicant have college degrees, have multiple job offers to choose from, and are only negotiating yearly salaries plus bonuses (not hourly rates, part time positions, commission based positions).
The resources supplied in the book are old, and most don't work. The book was written pre 9/11 and doesn't take into account the current market.
I recommend this book for individuals graduating from, top level private universities, and are interested in 60k/yr positions w/ a company car. To reference the other poor review, "the book was written by a professor with no real world experience."
When negotiating salary, one need to take into account all levels of work, environment, and economy this book doesn't!
well worth the money.......2005-04-21
I was pleasantly surprised at what I got out of the book - it teaches you specific tactics, but the most valuable advice is to to develop a positive and win-win attitude towards negotiation. It should not be a win-lose game, instead it should be a process to explore various options to get a happy ending for both you and your employer
Excellent, Invaluable Tool.......2003-11-26
My first interaction with this text was in 2000 attending Prof. Northcraft's class at the University of Illinois. This was easily the most influential class I experienced as a graduate student, thus I am obviously a little biased as a reviewer. However, now as a member of "Corporate America" I have recently revisited it, and have found the knowledge contained within to be indespensible to my current work. In a very easy-to-read and concise manner Prof. Northcraft gets to the heart of what one needs to succeed in negotiation. The discussion takes you beyond broad-brush theory and focuses on some concrete strategies that can elevate your skill as a negotiator.
My only complaint is the title. This book can help the reader with much more than negotiating a jucier bonus. Anyone looking to improve their negotiation skill for any purpose can learn plenty from this book.
Must-read for all seeking new jobs!.......2001-06-12
This is a must-read for anyone looking for a job or seeking to make the money they deserve in the job they already have. Northcraft and Pinkley are smart, down-to-earth negotiators who show you how you can do your best to negotiate the best salary you can get. Those out of work will gain strength and self-pride from this book, despite their situation -- perhaps the most important help the book offers, in the end!
Book Description
In this age of downsizing, paycuts, and shrinking health-care contributions, employees on all rungs of the corporate ladder are increasingly baffled by company pay structures, benefits packages, and bonus plans. What might look like a nice raise on the surface often translates into a virtual pay cut when all the components are figured in. And what's more, until now, employers have had a monopoly on the knowledge of how these systems actually work, leaving employees virtually defenseless.
Now, in
Are You Paid What You're Worth?, long-time corporate insider and compensation consultant Michael O'Malley exposes the inner workings of compensation systems and provides a specific formula that allows anyone--from the cubicle-dweller up to the CEO--to determine his or her own competitive worth. Packed with practical tips and strategies, and spiced with real-life examples from big-name companies,
Are You Paid What You're Worth? arms you with the information, confidence, and strategies you need to:
Compute the overall market worth of your job
Increase your base salary, or negotiate a salary at a new job
Improve your chances of receiving bonuses and other cash/non-cash awards
Know the pros and cons of different equity plans, and what to look for in company benefits
Increase the total compensation package you receive from your employer
Customer Reviews:
Salary.com CEO loves this book.......2002-08-28
This is the best book I have read about compensation, developing a pay structure and understanding how an organization sets pay. It is written to be interesting and understood by normal people with a slight inclination to learning how organizations set pay. Read just pages 30-70 and you learn most of what the book has to offer. To get the raise you need, read that section and then also research actual pay statistics for free on the web or if you are really serious, even buy premium salary reports that give the same numbers HR people use to evaluate "market pay" from salary sections of websites like Monster, AOL, Yahoo, Hotjobs, Careerbuilder and Salary.com. There are two numbers you need to know to calculate ranges of market pay: what do recruiters say you would earn by switching jobs (ask a headhunter or cruise above job boards to research) and what do HR managers report to surveys (look on salary sites). Having an opinion on these two numbers and then applying yourself to understanding the processes described in this book will make you a winner in the career long pay negotiation game. Good Job Mr. O'Malley. Buy and read this book.

Does not teach Salary Negotiation or Strategy.......2001-02-22
In general, this book provides information of how salary schedules and bonuses are determined. In addition, it describes a rather complicated, subjective process of how to determine what your salary should be, but later states that you cannot walk into your bosses office with this information and ask for a raise. There is some information, albeit very brief, of how to prepare for a job performance review and how to ask for a signing bonus with a potential future company, but most of it is common sense.
If you wish to learn how companies set up salary schedules and the like, read this book. However, if like me, you'd rather learn how to negotiate a better salary and benefits with your current or a future company, I'd recommend reading 'Get More Money on Your Next Job..' by Lee Miller.
Superb survey of compensation practices;empowering must-read.......2000-01-19
This is a brilliant distillation of the quagmire of complexity surrounding all forms of pay-for-work. And it is a very pragmatic book, based upon decades of field-work of an obviously gifted psychologist. It will empower you in a number of ways: (a) you will get paid what you're worth; (b) you will learn where you are on the continuum of workers economy-wide; (c) the astute reader will come away with concrete ideas about where he needs to grow himself to move to the next level professionally; (d) hiring managers and HR professionals will learn to use compensation as a tool for corporate continuity and growth (e) executives and management consultants will likely be provoked to reconceptualize and restructure compensation strategies toward proactively achieving enterprise-wide buyin toward the shared mission of the firm.
You'll be armed with information.......1999-12-09
Salary negotiation usually makes people nervous, but with this book even the most nervous person can feel educated and confident. O'Malley lays bare the mysterious inner-workings of salary grades and pay ranges. And he throws in the occasional anecdote to give concepts some life. The book's cover statement - "The Book Your Company Doesn't Want You to Read" - is not an idle boast.
