Customer Reviews:
Best book on the subject.......2004-04-22
The book by Juo and Franzluebbers is the best book ever written on the subject of tropical soils and their management for sustainable agriculture. Authors discused systematically the properties of the major tropical soils, their linkage with agroecosystems and management options based on current knowledge. The book is very informative, easy to read, well illustrated and contains useful tables. It is highly recommended as introductory textbook for students in tropical soils and also for agricultural and environmental workers interested in natural resource management for agricultural production in the tropics.
Book Description
Homesellers who spend a little time and effort making their homes more marketable will net thousands of dollars more than those who simply put 'For Sale' signs up on the front lawn and call it a day.
A Survival Guide for Selling a Home helps readers face the challenges of deciding whether or not to use an agent (and how to find one), estimating a price, and deciding which upgrades are worth making -- and which ones are not -- to add to their home's value. Featuring handy checklists, worksheets, and examples, the book takes readers step by step through the process of selling their homes, giving them valuable information on essential topics including how to:
* prepare the home to be shown
* negotiate offers
* avoid costly mistakes
* attract serious buyers through marketing
* take the stress out of closing
* and get top dollar in any market
In addition, the book discusses options such as renting and keeping the home as an investment, tips on moving and storage, and even a list of the seven biggest and costliest homeselling mistakes.

Book Description
Meet the JacMar family: successful, committed, and--like every other business family--trying to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives. The JacMars are a composite of actual business families. As Gerald Le Van follows them from the bedroom to the board room, he identifies the key issues and problems faced by every business family today.
Le Van, a highly sought-after speaker and consultant, has helped many business families successfully navigate through times of turbulence and transition. In The Survival Guide for Business Families, he makes his secrets available to the public for the first time. He leads the reader step-by-step through thirty-nine questions that everyone involved with a family operated business must address in order to plan for the future.
Designed as a self-help book, The Survival Guide for Business Families teaches families to recognize the emotional and organizational work that only they--and not their lawyers, accountants or financial advisors--can do to secure their future. It gives them the communication and coping skills to get through crises, such as a leadership transition. Le Van shows that business families are not alone in their struggle, and that they can not only survive, but prosper.
Customer Reviews:
Making your family business formidable..........2005-06-07
Partly a story about a fictional family, partly instructional, The $urvival Guide has been very useful to me as a family business member. Mr. Le Van's 39 questions are a wonderful tool for finding out where your family is, and where it should be going. There will be some work involved, but if you'd like for your business family to become healthier and more successful, this is a great book to start with.
Then there is a really fun and instructive sequel named "Families Money and Trouble" that takes the same fictional family into the next generation.
If you advise business families -- or own one: read this.......2000-08-09
Business families are different. They have all the components of other families but they have a business. And that makes them different. It's because the two create some extraordinary opportunities and some powerful pressures at the same time. After the business has been built questions begin to arise: What would happen to the business if dad (or mom) suddenly died? When will dad and mom want to retire? How can they unlock the value from the business with safety? Who should run the business? If there are siblings - will they all be involved? If not, how can the family's wealth be fairly distributed? In the beginning business families typically seek advice from traditional advisors - the attorney, accountant, banker, insurance agent or broker. The problem is these professionals are trained to apply specific tools to achieve goals. Often discussions begin with wills and trusts, tax strategies, financing options or risk shifting with insurance. But after documents are prepared, something isn't "right" and they aren't implemented. The reason is the work was begun in the wrong place. And the goals the advisors were trying to achieve weren't the client's real goals.
This usually isn't for a lack of trying. The advisors thought they were working on the client's goals but they weren't. The proof is that the family frequently won't implement the wills, trusts and other tools. The family isn't sure what is "right" for them. And until they really work on it - they can't be.
Mr. LeVan's book is the product of working with family businesses. The first 29 years was in the practice of law. The next decade has been spent working as a consultant helping families discover what they want to do and then how to work together to find the best way to do it. He calls it their "family work" and his book carves a path through this area using 39 questions. He demonstrates with a series of steps and anecdotes from his experience how the family work is a process of exploration that helps them discover how best to merge a business plan with a family plan that will preserve the integrity of both.
I'm an insurance broker and family business owner. This book and its concepts have been helpful to me in working with clients - and with our own family business. If you're an advisor of family businesses or own one - this book can help.

Beyond Survival, a guide for Business Owners & their Families.......2007-06-27
As an entrepreneur who started a Family owned Business strugling with business succession planning, this booked helped the rest of the Family to understand.
The first and best guide for family business.......2005-03-10
I first read this book in the early 1990's. It was an eye opener for me. It spoke right to my heart with the issues that I was dealing with at that time.
Dr. Danco started an entire industry of family business advisors that now help families deal with the issues of succession of management and power. However, his work is still the best.
Do yourself a favor. If you have your own business, read this book!
Book Description
This nationally acclaimed handbook and guide has shown thousands of home daycare providers how to run a business successfully, work with parents and give love to those in their care. Called the ultimate book on the most important subject facing working parents today - legal, honest and trustworthy home daycare for babies and small children, this book has over 150 pages containing information on how to build and maintain a licensed home daycare business, what agencies to contact, what forms to fill out, what licenses are needed and how to pass state inspections. You'll also learn how to promote and advertise your licensed home day care business and how to work and maintain trust, honesty and organization with the working parent and the department of children and family assistance. Our goal with this book is also to provide guidance to parents on how to select the right daycare program for their children and to know what to expect from their daycare provider.
Customer Reviews:
NOT helpful!.......2000-09-03
This book is entirely useless as a means of starting your own child care business. Any useful information was so bogged down with "true stories", grammatical errors, and religious advice that it was impossible to find. The "girlfriend" tone Dr. Simmons used becomes tiresome after the first two pages.
I was also highly insulted by the section entitled "The Main Reason Why We Do This Every Day," which depicted a large pile of money. Some of us are not in the CHILD care business just for the bucks! I would have liked more tips on daily activities for the children, and less advice on collection agencies.
Reading this book made me nuts!.......2000-05-24
I was very disappointed in this book as a whole. Ms.Simmons obvious trial and error method might inspire some made me wonder just how long did it really take her to figure it all out? The business is the care of children,and of course making it profitable. But, I found her main focus was the money. I was put off by some of her "true stories". It's very obvious she was dealing with less than the cream of society, especially the account of the 13 year old mother and her 2 1/2 month infant, a product of incest! I found these true stories not at all appealing or helpful, I don't want experiences of persons that have come and gone, especially when they were her experiences, at that time and place. Give helpful advice, not story telling! I also found this book was a "blow your own horn" of Ms. Simmons' care and concern for others, unfortunately it came out as a busy body trying to round up business! Just too much "girlfriend talk" and not enough of getting to the real reason for me buying your book!I instantly found I doubted her and equally did not trust her judgement on a subject she obviously learned along the way!
I was very pleased with Mrs. Terri Simmons.......1999-01-08
I am writing to let you know how pleased I was with Mrs. Terri Simmons's Day Care book. Her book was very informative and helpful. Mrs. Simmons is very knowledgable about the business and is very open to sharing her vast experiences. Since reading her book, my partner and I are now open for business.
Very informative and helpful........1998-12-18
I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Simmons book. She place pertinent information that will really help me. I found it easy to understand and I enjoyed the humor she used. I could feel that her heart is truly with children. She gave expert advice that will help those who are even afraid of starting their own daycare because they don't even know where to start. Any question that you may have Terri will answer for you. Questions that you should ask but didn't know to ask she will answer. She opened my eyes to aspects of Home Daycare that hadn't even crossed my mind. This book was fantastic and worth every penny.

Book Description
Currently, Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) are the last, best way for individuals to protect their assets from the high burden of estate taxes and from today's litigious society. Historically, FLPs in every state have thwarted the attempts of creditors to seize individual's assets. Thus, family inheritances and businesses can be protected and passed on to future generations.
A glossary, thorough index, sample filled-in forms, sample cases and blank tear-out forms make this new title accessible for any consumer.
Customer Reviews:
Useless.......2003-12-02
I am a law student and bought this book for a paper I was writing. This book was useless. It does not cover any of the "real" issues surrounding Family Limited Partnerships such as IRS scrutiny and valuation discounts. I do not think this book would be helpful to anyone considering a Family Limited Partnership. I would go so far as to say this book could be misleading to someone considering a FLP.

Healthcare is in a state of rapid change both clinically and economically. In order to stay current and up-to-date in the business of your medical practice, I recommend reading, "The Physician's Survival Guide to the Business of Medicine, by Robert Katz, CPA.
