Cooper Three Rivers Press, 2002 Recommended for best book article in local paper I got a call from a reporter from our local paper and was asked to give some recommendations for books in business that made an impact with me as an Executive Coach. This is one of the first books I thought about. There are so many ideas in this book, you cannot possibly implement all of them at once. I found myself reading a chapter, then trying out the idea for a week and then I would ...             Culture Shock! Thailand: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock! Thailand)15 reviews Robert Cooper Marshall Cavendish Adult Trade, 2008 Just what I need Wow, found it. Just off to spend some months in and around Thailand -- and no doubt put yet another book on Thailand on the shelves -- when I get this recommended to me. Great stuff. Very informative, very funny, I mean in places really funny, and a bargain to boot. Slap up to date. Can't wait to enter the kingdom.             Winning at New Products: Accelerating the Process from Idea to Launch, Third Edition17 reviews Robert G. Cooper Basic Books, 2001 An excellent way to start New Products Management It is quite surprising that I had not even heard of Prof. Robert Cooper or his books one month ago and now whatever we do about New Products, is based on either what he taught us in a two day seminar or what has been written by him in his books! His book Winning at New Products is the foundation for New Products Management!             Flip the Switch, Lose the Weight: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day9 reviews Robert K. Cooper, Leslie L. Cooper Rodale Books, 2007 A Wonderful Book that Motivated Me!! This book is terrific! Karas gives no-nonsense advice and gives it to you straight! He explains how it is not so much the diets that are not working for those of us who have been struggling to lose weight. We fail because of a lack of focus and BELIEF IN OUR ABILITY to succeed. I truly appreciate his candor and I love the way he touches on the many many emotional aspects of weight problems. It is ...             GWT in Practice7 reviews Robert Cooper, Charlie Collins Manning Publications, 2008 A great book on software development as well as GWT For starters: I am one of the pilot developers in my company (a large Fortune 100 Financial Institution) doing GWT development. We are about to release our first product to the business. So I've spent the last 18 months or so learning and beating my way through GWT. In the process, I've bought all the GWT books that are out there. Straight to the point: this is the best one out there. ...             Portfolio Management for New Products14 reviews Robert G. Cooper, Scott J. Edgett, ... Basic Books, 2001 Excellent reference, even with the hand-waving I find Robert Cooper to be a bit grandiose in all of his publications in his conclusions from various studies (including his own) and thus you have to take them with a grain of salt. However, this book is very good in showing lots of different ways of approaching the problem of portfolio management. You can be assured that the right answer is different for every company, so read how others have ...             Flip the Switch: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day7 reviews Robert K. Cooper Rodale Press, 2005 Flip the Switch: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day This is the most common sense approach to health and weight loss I have come across in years of reading, dieting, Weight Watchers, etc. The tips for boosting metabolism with simple body movements are easy to follow. The scientific explanations are understandable and logical. My big "aha" moment was using their recommendations to figure the percent of my daily calories I should be getting from ...             Disaster: Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security15 reviews Christopher Cooper, Robert Block Holt Paperbacks, 2007 Good example of a bad example. This is a well written tale of how government can get out of touch with reality. I was completely flabbergasted by the obsession for irrelevant detail Mathew Broderick demanded in the Homeland Security Operations Center. I thought the Marines worked from the idea of the 70% Solution. On the battlefield or in a Disaster you are never going to have the full picture. You just have to go to war ...             Cracking the Freemasons Code: The Truth About Solomon's Key and the Brotherhood2 reviews Robert L.D. Cooper Atria, 2007 Reviewed by a Freemason under American and English Jurisdiction. One word to sum up this book. Excellent!!! Freemasons, buy this book! You will not be disappointed. Scottish Freemason, Brother Cooper, offers an easily read education on Freemasonry from a very unique Scottish perspective. It is so darn good and you can sense the author's love and passion for the Craft within it's pages is genuine. Brother Cooper talks about the first Freemasons; the transition ...             Get Out of Your Own Way: The 5 Keys to Surpassing Everyone's Expectations15 reviews Robert K. Cooper Crown Business, 2006 Welcome your brain to the 21st century "...while you are a person of the twenty-first century, and what you want reflects your experiences in today's world, your brain is pretty much the same model your ancestors were using a thousand years ago, and it still wants a lot of what it wanted back then, which isn't necessarily good for you or congruent with what you want for yourself." ~ Robert Cooper from "Get Out of Your Own Way" ...             Executive E. Q.13 reviews Robert K. Cooper, Ayman Sawaf Perigee Trade, 1998 A Book that Changed My Life This should be a must-read for all people in their late 20's who are ready to take that next step into adulthood. This book taught me a lot about myself and showed me the experiences and problems I've had lately have been problems people and organizations have gone through for years. I learned to trust my intuition, go with my gut, understand my own feelings, and, most importantly, I now have a ...             Low-Fat Living: Turn off the Fat-Makers, Turn on the Fat-Burners for Longevity, Energy, Weight Loss, Freedom ...12 reviews Robert K. Cooper, Leslie L. Cooper Rodale Books, 1998 A Whole Systems Approach My only complaint with this book is its title, "Low Fat Living." It goes far beyond that. This is really the "whole mind, whole body" approach to weight control and more. This book seems to be a collection of everything that the authors could find that contributes to weight loss, organized in an interesting and integrative manner. I particularly loved the study that showed that people watching ...             The Cell: A Molecular Approach, Fourth Edition5 reviews Geoffrey M. Cooper, Robert E. Hausman Sinauer Associates, Inc., 2006 Very Informative The book is very informative and gets to the point in the various topics. The illustrations are very helpful and make the reader understand the topic with more clarity. Highly recommended.             Modern Actuarial Theory and Practice3 reviews Philip M. Booth, Robert Chadburn, ... Chapman & Hall/CRC, 1998 Everything you ever wanted to know about actuarial science "Modern Actuarial Theory and Practice" is an excellent reference book for actuaries and advanced actuarial students.

Random House Value Publishing, 1996 A thought-provoking look at Adolf Hitler and the military force he created discusses the events of the Second World War, German military hardware and personnel, and campaigns and battles, all highlighted by more than one hundred illustrations, maps, and period photographs.             The Breaking of Nations: Order and Chaos in the Twenty-First Century9 reviews Robert Cooper Grove Press, 2004 An Overview of World Order in the 21st Centruy Robert Cooper has written a brilliant book that takes a big-picture look at the vast scenery of the international community at the beginning of the 21st century. His short treatise is made up of three parts. The first is a discussion of the differences in makeup of pre-modern (the third world), modern (the U.S., Japan), and post-modern states (Western Europe). The second section is a ...             The Masonic Magician: The Life and Death of Count Cagliostro and His Egyptian Rite1 review Philippa Faulks, Robert L D Cooper Watkins, 2008 Reviewed by a Master Mason, Martinist Initiate, 20+ year Rosicrucian student, and former Associate member of the OTO. WOW!!! Freemasons, Martinists, Rosicrucians, Gnostic students, Alchemy students, Hermetic students, and Cabalistic students, you must buy this book, now! Why? For two reasons. One, because this is currently the best book in the world written on the life and times of one the Occult's and Initiactic fraternal world's most enigmatic characters. And two, because chances are high you will meet the ...             Product Leadership Pathways to Profitable Innovation Second Edition1 review Robert G. Cooper Basic Books, 2005 Poorly written and boring The most boring business book I have read. After 95 pages, I have yet to gain any 'nuggets' and am disappointed with the poor standard of writing. Not only does Mr Cooper fail to provide actual step by step examples where his process has been followed successfully, quoted statistics are unhelpful and are clearly provided solely to support his case. One extract from the book (page 16/17) ...             Unlocking Android Frank Ableson, Charlie Collins, ... Manning Publications, 2009 Android is a free, open source, Java-based mobile platform developed by Google.

D. Cooper's book "The Rosslyn Hoax" is perhaps the most important book yet published about Rosslyn Chapel, the Templars, Scotland and the Freemasons. What makes it so important is that he actually has physically investigated the many claims made about the enigmatic little church over the centuries, especially in the last few decades. He has laid his eye on so many artifacts described by ...              search for books accelerating, actuarial, approach, brotherhood, cagliostro, disaster, egyptian, etiquette, executive, expectations, fat-burners, fat-makers, freemasons, homeland, hurricane, innovation, leadership, longevity, management, metabolism, molecular, paperback, pathways, portfolio, potential, profitable, strategies, surpassing, twenty-first, unlocking books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
