I wish I had this book 3 years ago! I think it might have influenced how I conducted search for a graduate program, as well as my search for employment. Regardless, this book is still a relevant and worthwhile read. Mohin effectively simplifies the complexities of sustainability and makes the topic manageable and approachable. There is plenty of good information on how to get a foot in the door, how to manage your position once you're there, and how to have an impact regardless of what your function is or where you are in your career. I especially enjoyed the added context and insider tips Mohin provides. The book includes a good dose of suggestions for handling organizational behavior issues involved when effecting change within an organization. The style is conversational and accessible, with plenty of actionable advice useful for a variety of professionals.

I enjoyed the format and the information.  The questions at the end of each chapter were relevant. I intend to take it more slowly than a week and use a journal to pursue the ideas in more depth. A good resource foe Spiritual Directors.

I was tasked with reading this book in order to prepare for a promotional examination.  I found that the book contained a lot of useful and insightful information and was actually a pleasure to read.  It was pretty spot on with the current state of Law Enforcement.  Highly Recommended!

Gretchen Carlson's book is useful and well written.  Her skills as a journalist are well displayed. Unusually she has included many resources which will enable her readers to follow in her footsteps and substantiate what she says. She also has included an index worthy of a scholar. Indices are useful -- and they take a long time to put together -- after the book is written -- and the tedium of writing an index is magnified by needing to double check it against the final galley proofs! At the same time, a good index is of great value to readers when we need to return to a book to find specific information index is a valuable feature of this book.  Gretchen Carlson has decidedly done her homework and has many useful suggestions -- and caveats -- about how to cope with the environments which encourage sexual harassment and assault. She also includes supportive positions by men who are concerned to prevent such environments - stressing that women need the support of men in order to change the environment. It is important, however, to note that men are also susceptible to sexual assault and harassment.

This book was on our list of suggested reading from my University professor of InfoSec... it was great and very relevant. It addresses security based on a series of unchanging principles (as opposed to technologies that tend to date themselves quickly). These principles have stood-the-test-of-time, so I found this to book to be quite valuable and I expect it to stay that way. It's a good read, easy to follow, and really helped me in how I think about security. I'm recommending to others in the class.

I found this book informative and entertaining.  I still rave about the book years after I originally bought it.  I love the way Trump opens up about his past experiences and then welcomes collegues to do the same.  The stories included in  here are relevant and interesting and you can learn much from the paths that many of these business people have walked.

This book is not the usual boring list of facts and figures.  I found it to be well written, interesting, varied and most important it is readable.  Some will no doubt consider it out of date, but the guidance and information given will still work.  And the knowledge can always be supplemented, updated or reviewed if required.

I found this book to be a great overview of fitness.  The authors base their information on medical literature, but distill it to a level useful to the general public.  Definitely worth getting.

I first found this book in my local library.  After having read the book, I decided that it was worthwhile enough to purchase for my home library.

The book contains much useful information regarding the Cholesterol Myth.

The information I found I will be able to use to both make informed decisions for myself, as well as to discuss with my current General Practitioner.

I bought the book to have as a current reference that provides a lot of useful information in an understandable format.

One of the authors of the book is a Cardiologist.  He is an expert in his own right and contributed greatly to the useful information contained within the book.

I think this is a relevant book for these times. Credit is not a sexy topic, but a book like this is useful in providing the background to the evolution of credit with our modern economy. By illustrating the significant relationship between consumer credit and what composed so much of the driving forces in our economy emerging before the 1920s, the author demonstrates the key role that consumer credit played during these times. After reading this book, I cannot simply point the finger and state that all things would be ok if we had limited the extent of credit. It is so tightly integrated with that relationship that I have no idea how our system (I extend this to the world) would be if credit had been as constrained as it was before the 1920s. I think he does a good job at breaking down the components of a credit relationship; that being why would would somebody extend credit to someone in the first place, to show how the misinterpretation of information, such as the ultimately useless meaning of bond ratings, contributed to the recent real estate bubble. On a personal level, I think the take away message is pretty clear; our system loves it when I am left holding the bag. His suggestion for resolving the current situation, that being that credit from an investment standpoint is preferred to tradtional investments that result in improvement in middle class living standards, is unique and thoughtful, although lacking in detail.

Mackin's book provides a concise assemblage of historical events which contribute to the current state of economic affairs. It seems to be not meant to be political, but rather points out the urgent need for a new set of priorities so as to stabilize and improve the American economy. Mackin's view is valuable when determining what each of us can do to right the national ship. I'm recommending the book to my friends who care about the country, and aren't too "busy" to ignore their opportunity/responsibility.

I enjoyed the content and tone of this book.  The chapters were relevant and pithy.  A good introduction to cruising and the cruising lifestyle.
