Norton & Company, 1999 Every writer should read this book I first read Gardner's "The Art of Fiction" some years ago. It was a fine book with some sound advice. However, it read too much like a how-to book for my tastes. And the how-to advice seemed a bit too formulaic. Though I am sure it is a fine book for instruction, especially for people who are just starting to look at fiction seriously. "On Becoming a Novelist" is a different book all ...             Electromagnetics7 reviews John D. Kraus, Keith R. Carver McGraw-Hill Education, 1973 A lot of good, usuable information I found this to be informative from the beginning. The author does a very thorough job in explaining the nuances of electromagnetics.             Old Dogs Remembered9 reviews Eugene O'Neill, James Thurber, ... Synergistic Publications, 1999 Who can forget? Old Dogs Remembered is a wonderful collection that reflects on the joy of being owned by a dog and being the object of unquestioning devotion. While it is the collected remembrances and obituaries for famous people's dogs long past, it also focuses the reader on the dogs in our lives now. Our dogs pass away, but we have the power to make sure they are remembered. Take a minute to reflect on ...             Biopsychology: WITH Perspectives on Personality AND Social Psychology AND Cognitive Psychology, Mind and Brain13 reviews John Pinel, Michael Hogg, ... Allyn & Bacon, 2006 A Masterful Work Pinel's Biopsychology is a masterful work. I can only imagine the immense amount of time and effort that has gone into it. I don't think you can find another book in this field that appeals to such a wide range of readers. I have used this book and previous editions of it as the primary text in the graduate Biopsychology courses I have taught over the past 8 years. This book has consistently ...             John Carver on Board Leadership8 reviews John Carver, Sir Adrian Cadbury Jossey-Bass, 2001 The rest of John Carver If you have read John Carver's books and watched his videotaped lectures, you have just begun to scratch the surface. In addition to "Boards That Make A Difference," "Reinventing Your Board," and "A New Vision of Board Leadership," Carver has produced an amazing array of short pieces designed for those who want to use Policy Governance. This book, "On Board Leadership," is a convenient compendium ...             Coach of the Century, an Autobiography9 reviews John Carver, Gordon Wood Hard Times Cattle Company Publishing, 2001 High School History This book was a little personal for me as I was born and grew up in Stamford. I knew several football players who played for Gordon Wood, and they all spoke highly of him. After reading the book, I can see why. If you follow high school football, you probably get bogged down in all the muck that really doesn't mean a thing. Coach Wood cuts through all of this and only concentrates on what ...             CarverGuide, Basic Principles of Policy Governance (J-B Carver Board Governance Series)2 reviews John Carver, Miriam Carver Jossey-Bass, 1996 Excellent overview of Carver's Policy Governance theory . This first in a 12-part series of general guides on Policy Governance is a great introduction to author John Carver's new approach to nonprofit board development. Basically, this approach clearly separates the roles of board and staff as they go about their separate but related jobs of organizational governance and management. Policy Governance clarifies these roles through policy development ...             CarverGuide, 1 - 12 Set1 review John Carver, Miriam Mayhew Carver Jossey-Bass, 1997 All Board Members must read this series!! Even if you don't agree with everything Carver says, this is without a question the best series on organizational governance ever written. His focus on the four essential functions of a board (Ends, Executive limitation, Board-staff linkage, and governance process)is thought provoking and very well presented. There are many, many publications on organizational governance but none are, in my ...             Corporate Boards that Create Value2 reviews John Carver, Caroline Oliver Jossey-Bass, 2002 A Solution That Works Shareholders today are becoming used to scanning the headlines for the most recent corporate disaster. Where were the boards that were theoretically looking after the shareholders' interests? While there has been much public moaning about the problems, most of the "solutions" being proposed are band-aid therapy, neglecting the root problems: lack of clarity about the role of governance, and ...             Boards That Make a Difference5 reviews Jossey-Bass, 1989 Board Governance for those who really care Dr. Carver's seminal work on nonprofit board governance updated to cover all the Sarbane-Oxley stuff.
