Practical, time tested, ethical set

I like these cards for their simplicity and for the power in their age-old tradition and links to the ancient past, thus their propensity for depth and universality.

The system is easy enough to use. It is not so much a book to be read in a few sittings, but a practice to follow over time, then to pick up and use as needed.

This is not an integrated package, but a value bundle of ten of ProVenture's products (Business Cards, Brochures, Stationery, Postcards, Web Page Designer, Mail List, Label Maker, Invoices & Estimates, Database and Business Legal Forms).
None of the programs are best in class, nor are they especially suitable for heavy professional use.  However, for occasional use (i.e., running off labels or making a batch of business cards for a small business owner), this collection is more than adequate and represents a cost-effective bargain.
As someone who infrequently makes labels and brochures, and runs off a batch of business cards about every three months, I found this collection to be a time saver (over performing these tasks by hand), and a money saver (since most of my printing runs are too small to get a good deal from a printer).  If your situation reflects mine then this pack is a worthwhile investment.  It you plan on using any or all of the applications on a daily basis you'll be better off selecting more professional packages.

I was hesitant to place my order, despite my interest in acquiring a readable set of Shakespeare's plays in individual volumes, because of concerns about the quality of such a low-priced set.  Having just received the set, I am delighted that I took the leap.

The set is remarkable in quality, particularly given the price paid.  The linen bindings are spartan but solid-feeling, the paper is a high-quality heavy stock, and the generous page formatting resembles a large trade paperback format.  The volumes include introductory notes and typical vocabulary footnotes.  As some have indicated, the set is not truly complete, but this was a very minor concern to me.

Overall, this was been the most satisfying book purchase I have made in a very, very long time.  If you are having any doubts about the set's contents or formatting, I would encourage you to go for it.  I have been looking for a set like this for years, and while you could find editions with more luxurious bindings, more scholarly notes, etc, this set presents the texts in an attractive, portable, and seemingly durable format that I expect will serve you well if your interest is in a high-quality reading copy.

You will simply not find a better value, and for my needs, there is no better set at any price.

This accessible book is written to be read by students and practitioners.  It is clear, comprehensive, and provocative.  The book identifies issues and perspectives that should be discussed before a disaster strikes.  It is not a how-to manual.  It is wide ranging introduction to ethical foundations and perspectives.

Part 1 covers the basics of ethical thinking in the western world.  Part 2 addresses the political and policy factors that affect homeland security/emergency management ethics in practice.

You can read representative selections from the book courtesy of Amazon's "Look Inside" feature.

I've used this book in class a number of times.  It sparks engaging discussions and provides conceptual tools to inform those discussions.

This is a wonderful collection of ideas in a very effective format. Valuable people are busy. Asking many of the best to choose or propose a pet idea in a 2-page format---no questions asked---resulted in a sparkling collection having a very high worth-to-volume
ratio. My earmarks on the book are in effect a syllabus for a couple of years of self-improvement homework: expand, digest, integrate. I'm writing a book myself; almost on every page of Brockman's I found an idea, a quote, a tack, an example that will complement something I'm writing about.

As you can find in their individual reviews, each book received high marks on its own merit.  Put together and this set of three books cannot be beat in the area of system and network forensics.

Although not entrenched in the area of forensics, I do feel that I have a strong technical background upon which to build.  I found this series of books refocusing me to think more like a forensics investigator.  Not only did I have the opportunity to dig deeper into specific technology areas, but it also reinforced the concepts through scenarios.

Not for the faint of heart, this practical set of books expects you to have a decent technical background to make the best use of it.  If you are interested in taking your forensics know-how to the next level, this is a great reference set to be added to your library.

Wonderfully convenient and practical planning tool.
Opens flat on the desk, with a full month laid out to see.
Ample space within each day to record appointments, phone calls, project notes or whatever. Also each year has monthly summary to start.
Covers 5 years, with easy refills, courtesy of the loose leaf binder format. The binder is excellent quality, with 22 rings to keep the pages in place.

Only downside, this thing is huge, 22"x11" when opened on the desk. It does not fold double, so it is either expansively open or securely closed.
Consequently it is difficult to keep it open and ready for use unless one has a really big desk where it can have its own space.
For people with limited space, this may not be a good choice.

Durability highly depends on the project.
A good set to get acquainted with multi-tools.

Having been in the industry for several years, most IT books are dry, boring, sleep reading.  The layout in this set is easy to read and comprehend.  The examples are practical and useful.  Only drawback to this series is the explanation of the pictorial network configuration errors.

I really love this set. With this set, you can unscrew pretty much any small screw you can find in the US. One of the things I didn't like was that there was only one handle and no metric hex bits since most of the things I have with hex screws are from Asia or Europe and they all use metric screws, and the inch hex bits don't fit. But, with the 26999 set&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wiha-26999-System-4-Precision-Blade-Set-Hex-Metric-9-Piece/dp/B000T9W4VK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wiha 26999 System 4 Precision Blade Set, Hex Metric, 9 Piece</a>, I was able to get a full set of metric hex bits and an extra handle, so now my set is perfect. Adding that set will allow you to unscrew or screw in nearly any screw you can find around the world except for security screws, but you can also get bits for those. The new canvas pouch is green and fits not only the bits that come with this set but also the metric hex bits and the extra handle that comes with the 26999 set, so if you get both sets, you can put them all in one case, and it's really super convenient, and whenever you need to unscrew something, you can just take the entire set with you easily, and you can rest assured that you most likely have what you need. What I really like about the Wiha bits is that the metal is very hard and does not bend or chip. The fit of the bits in screw heads is so exact that it is like a puzzle, and you won't get weird marks on your screws from these bits since they fit so well. These bits also seem to last the longest out of all the screwdrivers I have used. Also, if something breaks, you can just buy a bit instead of buying a whole new screwdriver. Also, compared to the regular screwdrivers, you can get a much longer reach with the System 4 screwdrivers since the bits can extend quite far. This is useful especially with screws in deep holes. I highly recommend this set if you need to unscrew metric hex screws often and are considering buying a set of screwdrivers. These will save you money since they last nearly forever. Also, if you need to tote them around, the case folds really flat, even with the added bits and handle from the 26999 kit, and you can just toss it in your bag. If I lost my set, I would definitely buy another.

This is a classic text on organizational culture. It isn't overly theoretical, instead making extensive use of case studies to demonstrate the theoretical frameworks under discussion and their limits. Because of this, I would think the text would be better-suited for MBA / MPA programs, or for graduate-level programs requiring a leadership or organizational management elective. Because of the 'timeless' nature of the subject matter, this book will age well in one's professional library.

On a more practical note: The book is quite large, but not too heavy because of the weight of the paper used.

Useful, concrete and practical.  Great compilation of useful information and steps to take within each key.  I enjoyed the book references and was inspired to revisit and build my library.

Very useful, durable, practical;  carries my USB thumb drives, media cards, charging cables, and a slim external drive.

Pretty straight ahead and unglossed. A practical person will enjoy and appreciate the contents. Worth investing in!

Very happy with this set. Bought this as a gift and very satisfied. The bracelet and necklace appear just as they do in the product photo. The bag they arrived in is also just like that pictured. The nice pouch for the set makes it great for gifting. It's also very practical. I had my own similar necklace when my son was little and kept the pouch for that in my purse for storing the necklace when not in use.

I received this product at a discount. I have provided an honest and unbiased review based on my personal experience with this product. I am not affiliated with the company in any way and my star rating is based on my personal experience and use of the product.

In this world we are drawn by lot of wrong information about spirituality. This book is a collection of time tested best practices that make our life worth living. Collection of short chapters with key points italicized makes reading smooth and easy.

Though I read this book many times, Now It is my work book where I apply the key topics and write my experiences applying them.
I learnt, what we should do and why we should do and what is its value.

After a couple of years of owning these, I've found them indispensable. They're well-made, come in a useful variety of styles, and frequently prove to be useful.
