In the wake of President Clinton's admitted dalliance with a White House intern, some may wonder whether it is wildly inappropriate--or merely a necessary sign of our times--to be openly discussing romantic relationships between coworkers. That is, however, exactly what lawyer and Harvard M.B.A. Dennis M. Powers does in The Office Romance: Playing with Fire Without Getting Burned. Arguing that the workplace is one of today's most common locales for romantic liaisons, Powers offers smitten colleagues a series of suggestions for building such personal relationships without destroying the professional ones that are inevitably intertwined. He bolsters his recommendations with dozens of first-person examples drawn from anonymous and composite sources and shows that when handled appropriately, these associations need not harm the businesses involved. Powers then fully explains the written (and unwritten) rules that govern such workplace conduct, carefully differentiating between consensual behavior and harassment. He even includes sample guidelines for developing a workable and productive "office romance policy" that follows his prointeractive philosophy. --Howard Rothman
Book Description
THE OFFICE ROMANCE Playing with Fire Without Getting Burned Office romance is flourishing! One recent AMA survey showed that 80% of workers polled know of or have been involved in an office "amour"; another revealed that one-third of all romances begin at work. Happily, for all concerned, these relationships are no longer prohibited affairs. In today's enlightened business world, most companies permit workplace relationships-having wisely decided that you can't outlaw love. But, despite more permissive attitudes, workplace romances can still be dangerous liaisons-especially if certain rules aren't followed. The Office Romance gets to the heart of the matter, clarifying what readers can, cannot, and should do when they are romantically involved with someone at work. Based on interviews with hundreds of professionals in diverse occupations, this guide is full of anecdotes and first-hand advice from people who have had their own office romances. It helps readers involved in office relationships: ** decide when (or if) to make their relationship public ** avoid and solve problems resulting from failed office relationships ** keep their behavior within the boundaries of the law (including an in-depth look at what does and does not constitute sexual harassment). In addition, the book discusses likely effects of office romances on co-workers, how many organizations are handling office romances, what employees can expect from their own companies, and more. Practical, credible, and entertaining, The Office Romance is full of valid, real-world information. It is a vital guide for managers, employees, executives, and business owners living and working in an era when the workplace is rapidly replacing bars, churches, and health clubs as the hot spot for meeting that special someone. DENNIS M. POWERS (Ashland, OR) is a lawyer, Harvard MBA, established author, frequent media guest, and seminar speaker. He has written three books, including the highly acclaimed Legal Street Smarts: How to Survive in a World of Lawyers, as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles on topics ranging from single life and legal matters to cooking and overseas travel. In addition to his work as a writer, Mr. Powers is an Associate Professor of business law in the School of Business at Southern Oregon University.

SUPER! Must read for managers on handling office romance........2003-06-04
If you are considering engaging in an office romance---read this book. If you are a manager and you think or know your employees are dating each other---read this book. If you are a human resource manager---read this book. So many legal cases have occurred because of office dating that we need to know this information. This is THE book on the topic. The book is well-written, well documented and well researched. It presents the pros and the cons with many, many examples. The author has consulted with many well known firms and has gotten rave reviews. She's been on national information programs like Larry King and Oprah and quoted in most of the major newspapers and many magazines because she is the expert on the topic.
Book Description
Integrated Technical Analysis Technical Analysis is usually learned as a series of unconnected and often conflicting techniques. In this groundbreaking book, Ian Copsey demonstrates how a combination of Elliott Wave, cycles and momentum analysis can be integrated to provide a set of signals leading to more powerful forecasts. Both private and professional investors can have difficulty in selecting and synthesizing various technical tools. Integrated Technical Analysis shows how different ideas can be integrated on multiple time frames to enhance the overall process and provide a more solid forecasting platform. The author's ideas have been developed over many years. Copsey's knowledge of the markets and his trading experience ensures that the book abounds with practical trading examples, numerous charts and a down-to-earth view of market activity. A must read for anyone looking to broaden their conceptual knowledge of the subject and to fine-tune their analysis of the market. "There is a real lack of easily accessible and practical books on using Elliott Wave Theory in combination with basic technical analysis. The essential concept of the book is a valuable contribution to the subject. It also fills a void, in that it deals at length with practical aspects." -Colin Nicholson President Australian Technical Analysts Association
Customer Reviews:
Wow so pricey.......2002-06-28
The con for this book is its price. But, I think the author has done a great job in explaining his techniques in a clear manner. Very useful and highly recommended.
Solid Technicial Analysis.......2000-09-15
I have been using the Elliott Wave now for many years and find it very helpful and insightful into dealing with the market's underlying emotional structure. I use a combination of momentum and Elliott Wave to short term trade the markets. Ian Copsey's introduction into using the markets rhythem as well in terms of cycles is of great interest.
Technical Analysis does take time to learn as the author states and I feel his book points Traders in the right direction. Well written with very clear concepts.
Bennett McDowell Of "TradersCoach.com"
An excellent start.......2000-04-10
I devoured this book in 4 days with very little difficulty. In this crazy market, I felt I needed some direction in securing my gains. I now approach stock trading with a whole different light and am applying what I learned form this excellent book. I found the Elliott Wave principal a bit hard to utilize right away, as was stated in the book and I am paraphrasing, "one can write a whole book on this subject alone". The best thing about this book is that in a matter of one week, I can converse intelligently with stock brokers, and I actually understand what is being said in the radio stock shows making the experience more enjoyable. The book is put together logically (much appreciated) and the integrated analysis techniques at the end of the book are GOLD! I must have counted about 100 practical market charts of indexes, currencies and others. All around, an excellent book for the SERIOUS BEGINNER, but not the end all, just the beginning. This book is AWESOME! Good job Mr. Copsey.
Refreshing and insightful approach.......2000-03-15
Having spent twenty years trading in the market myself it was refreshing to see Copsey's down to earth approach. Moving through from some of the basics of Technical Analysis such as Chart construction and various uses of Averages, to Indicators and Elliot Wave Theory. Clear explanations with good examples shows not only Copsey's depth of understanding of the subject, but more importantly for the reader the application of "theory" in the real world. It is this "real world" application which leads to the approach of integrated analysis. Elliott Wave analysis is notoriously difficult to apply correctly, consistently and leads many to give up in frustration, however Copsey's approach to use different analytical tools to complement Wave Theory should help would-be Wave enthusiasts (especially in their early years). The final Chapter works through some excellent examples where the Author's own chosen combination of technical tools are applied, this part of the book I found most"~ valuable.
Bad Elliot reference; poor attempt at integrated analysis;.......1999-09-27
Copsey does a very good job of handling momentum and trend indicators. However, his explanation of Elliot wave theory and wave counting is poorly organized, presented to the reader in a confusing manner, and made more complex than it has to be.
He first describes that a complete cycle consists of 5 waves up and 3 waves down. Next thing you know he is telling us about a 5 wave down trend, which seemed contradictory to the introduction. The different patterns should have been given at the beginning instead of thrown at us with no explanation and no connection to the basic 5-3 move. His explanations of extended movements read like stereo instructions. It was made too complex for what it is. In fact, he stated that it would take several years to fully grasp Elliot wave counting theory. Why of course it would, if Copsey is the instructor! He should try to make it simplier! He made extended wave counts cumbersome and the intent looked to scare rathar than inform. Cycle analysis wasn't much better. I give credit to the author for atleast describing the basic indicators very well and for trying to propose an "integrated method." But it is unfortunate that out of a 302 pages of text there is only a little more than 20% of it dedicated to integrated analysis. I have to believe that there are other books that explain Elliot better. The sad thing is, this book is supposed to be about integrated analysis, not hacked up Elliot wave count theory.
If it wans't for his very good explanations about the momentum and trend indicators I would have rated this book lower than three stars.

Customer Reviews:
States the obvious and misleads the reader.......2003-09-14
This book will only frustrate the experienced programmer and mislead the beginner. The authors' explanations about some of the topics are shallow and facts stated blatantly with no justification (For example, the author states in chapter 8 that the Application object may be used for object pooling and recommends elsewhere to store session information into a cache object). Some of the terminology used by the author seem to have been made up with no equivalent definition found elsewhere. To prepare for the exam, Exam Cram does a much better job (ISBN 0-7897-2929-6). Don't waste your time and money on this book!
caveat emptor.......2003-07-18
Get a review from someone who has actually read the book before buying. Let me be the 2nd reviewer here who hasn't read the book, but let me share my experience over the years with these study guides. All the publishers have published good guides, but they've also all published turkeys. Primarily, a good study guide in the past is no guarantee of a good study guide in the future. No one publisher has been consistent, and it's not uncommon at all for any of these publishers to rush to market with a lemon filled with errors and totally off the mark. As I recall, this publisher missed the boat on the old MCSD Analyzing Requirements with a well-written book with fabulous depth on the topic of development strategies, but that didn't have anything at all to do with the test. Each study guide from each publisher must be evaluated on its own merits regardless of the publisher's track record and (to a lesser extent) the author's track record. BTW, Amazon shouldn't have allowed the first reviewer to submit a review on a book he hadn't read. He judged the book by its cover. 5 stars... C'mon.

Book Description
With communications technologies rapidly expanding, the traditional separation of electronic circuits and antenna systems design is no longer feasible. This book covers various design approaches applicable to integrated circuit-antenna modules with the goal of placing the antenna, transmitter, and receiver all on a single chip. It emphasizes analysis and design involving the integration of circuit functions with radiating elements and addresses trends in systems miniaturization.

Description:
Most of the predictions and conclusions in the climate change literature have been made and drawn on the basis of theoretical analyses and quantitative models that assume exogenous technological change. How do these predictions and conclusions change if we endogenize technical progress? In this paper we consider two different drivers of technological change-Research and Development (R&D) and Learning-by-Doing (LbD)-and we embed them into the popular Nordhaus and Yang's RICE model. We then use the corresponding two model versions to simulate different policy scenarios and compare the results focusing on consumption, physical capital, emissions abatement rates, and R&D expenditures. Our findings suggest that R&D-driven and LbD-driven technologies lead to quite similar dynamic patterns of the relevant variables we analyze. However, the greater flexibility enjoyed by agents who are able to optimally choose R&D expenditures seems to imply more welfare relative to the LbD case.

From the supplier: Four new paradigms have emerged to integrate people and technology in manufacturing: Manufacturing Execution System, Customer Oriented Manufacturing Management System, Enterprise Resources Planning and Manufacturing Operations Management System. These models are extensions of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, which was introduced in the early 1970s. These systems, and the software that conforms to them, cover the management of jobs, operations, equipment, labor, material, the environment and quality. Given more experience, the food industry will benefit from these paradigms through increased efficiency and productivity.
