Warren Buffett Speaks: Wit and Wisdom from the World's Greatest Investor
巴菲特如是说:世界最伟大投资者的智慧
# Author:Janet Lowe
# Format:PDF 2.2MB
# Page Count: 288 pages
# Publisher: Wiley; 2 edition (August 31, 2007)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0470152621
# ISBN-13: 978-0470152621
Over the years, as Warren Buffett's influence and affluence have grown, one thing has remained the same—his unpretentious, honest, and optimistic approach toward business and life. In this completely revised edition of Warren Buffett Speaks, bestselling author Janet Lowe shows you why.
Updated to reflect Buffett's life over the past decade, this book contains a delightfully entertaining collection of quotes, writings, and favorite sayings from the world's most successful investor.
Often surprising, always intriguing, and sparked throughout by Buffett's unique combination of savvy business smarts and dry wit, this new edition is filled with Buffett's musings on subjects such as the Internet economy, family and friends, running a business, paying taxes, and much more. It also examines the thinking that prompted the second richest man in the world to give 85% of his wealth to the first richest couple (Bill and Melinda Gates) to distribute to charity.
More than just a book about investing, Warren Buffett Speaks reveals the personality and philosophy of one of the world's most compelling figures.
Peppered with pearls of wisdom cultivated throughout his life, this book will help you understand and appreciate Buffett's beliefs on a variety of important issues. Here's a sample of just some of the honest and engaging insights you'll find inside:
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently."
"You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with a 130 IQ. Rationality is essential."
"I want to be able to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand."
"You should invest in a business that even a fool could run, because someday a fool will."
"Over the years, a number of very smart people have learned the hard way that a long stream of impressive numbers multiplied by a single zero always equals zero."

China: Fragile Superpower: How China's Internal Politics Could Derail Its Peaceful Rise
# Author:Susan L. Shirk (谢淑丽)
# Format:PDF 3.1MB
# Page Count: 336 pages
# Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (March 16, 2007)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0195306090
# ISBN-13: 978-0195306095
Once a sleeping giant, China today is the world's fastest growing economy--the leading manufacturer of cell phones, laptop computers, and digital cameras--a dramatic turn-around that alarms many Westerners. But in China: The Fragile Superpower, Susan L. Shirk opens up the black box of Chinese politics and finds that the real danger lies elsewhere--not in China's astonishing growth, but in the deep insecurity of its leaders. China's leaders face a troubling paradox: the more developed and prosperous the country becomes, the more insecure and threatened they feel. Shirk, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State responsible for China, knows many of today's Chinese rulers personally and has studied them for three decades. She offers invaluable insight into how they think--and what they fear. In this revealing book, readers see the world through the eyes of men like President Hu Jintao and former President Jiang Zemin. We discover a fragile communist regime desperate to survive in a society turned upside down by miraculous economic growth and a stunning new openness to the greater world. Theirs is a regime afraid of its own citizens, and this fear motivates many of their decisions when dealing with the U.S. and other foreign nations. In particular, the fervent nationalism of the Chinese people, combined with their passionate resentment of Japan and attachment to Taiwan, have made relations with these two regions a minefield. It is here, Shirk concludes, in the tangled interactions between Japan, Taiwan, China, and the United States, that the greatest danger lies. Shirk argues that rising powers such as China tend to provoke wars in large part because other countries mishandle them. Unless we understand China's brittle internal politics and the fears that motivate its leaders, we face the very real possibility of avoidable conflict with China. This book provides that understanding.
About the Author
Susan L. Shirk, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State responsible for U.S. relations with China, is Director of the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, and she is a professor at UC-San Diego's Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. A leading authority on China, she has been visiting that country since 1971, meeting with top Chinese officials, and has written numerous books and articles on this subject, including pieces that have appeared in The Washington Post, Financial Times, and Wall Street Journal.

The Oxford Thesaurus

# ISBN-10: 0191958018
# ISBN-13: 978-0191958014
First published in 1991, the very successful first edition of The Oxford Thesaurus has now sold over 126,000 copies. This new edition (NB new format), which for the first time includes antonyms in the main A-Z text, along with many additional new synonyms, broadens the book's appeal still further. The Oxford Thesaurus remains the most useful A-Z thesaurus available today, with more practical guidance for the user than any other competing title. Around 350,000 synonyms and antonyms, covering general English as well as thousands of regional and idiomatic words and expressions, are listed in A-Z form for ease of reference. Generous and detailed labelling shows how to use synonyms, and example sentences throughout make it even easier to select the correct synonym. The most useful synonyms (ie those that are closest in meaning to the headword) are listed first - a more helpful arrangement than a simple alphabetical listing under the headword. If the word for which you seek an alternative is not to be found as a headword, you can simply turn to the synonym index which lists 265,000 synonyms and shows you under which headword each synonym is located. In addition, all synonyms which also have their own headword entry (at which further related words may be found) are indicated by a simple cross-reference symbol. On the first edition: 'handier than Roget both in being alphabetical and in offering example-sentences. The mot juste in just a mo.' Prof. Sir Randolph Quirk, The Observer.

Global Technological Change: From Hard Technology To Soft Technology
# Author:Zhouying Jin
# Format:PDF 1.3MB
# Page Count: 317 pages
# Publisher: Intellect (UK) (June 30, 2005)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 1841501247
# ISBN-13: 978-1841501246
During the last two or three decades there have been a series of efforts to bring attention to the human dimension of work as it relates to technology advancements. For example, Calvin Pava's work at Harvard with socio-technical analysis provided this perspective for the environment of the knowledge worker. There have also been continuous developments in the discipline of human factors; however, human factors addresses only a specific set of domains and issues. We do need a more generic comprehensive approach. As Professor Jin puts it, we need an approach that addresses "skills, tools and rules that are employed by humans to alter, accommodate and manage nature for human survival and development." To that end, she defines soft technology as the intellectual technology of creation and innovation centered in human thought, ideology, emotion, values, world view, individual and organizational behaviors, as well as in human society."
Professor Jin presents a solid foundation for espousing her work on soft technology. This includes frameworks that have philosophical roots in Chinese culture. I find her use of the harmony and balance dynamics from eastern "yin-yang" philosophy to be extremely useful in the relationship between hard technology and soft technology. This analogy is easily communicated and the resulting framework has enough breadth to expand and structure our views about how we should consider soft technology in the creation of hard technology.
This book is also a must read for people who are doing business in China, especially those involved in research and development. Numerous Chinese examples are provided that relate to the academic basis of soft technology as well as to Chinese business, cultural, and political considerations. Researchers will find the bibliography to be a substantial source for Chinese publications in related disciplines. I would recommend that future editions of the book provide an index for reader convenience. In the effort to accomplish the challenging work of translation, the index may have been overlooked.

# ISBN-13: 978-0-9719324-7-6
How vast is the topic of Leadership and Success? How can you benefit from skills in leadership? Can there be success without leadership in some area? Are the principles the same for an individual, a group, or a society? Are the practices the same for an individual, a group, or a society? Is this a topic that can be taught or is it something that is innate? How do you define leadership? What is success? These are just some of the questions answered in the series on Leadership and Success. The topic is too broad for a single book. A series of three volumes provide the foundations for continued personal development and growth. Each book in the Leadership & Success series addresses a different group of topics, each related to your success as a leader. The structure of this series is based on the three areas of leadership involvement: internal development, horizontal interactions, and vertical relationships. The progression of the three books is arranged in the order in which you, as a leader, can have the most impact: people, organization, and society.

A self-empowering plan for anyone who wants to stop being manipulated by others
In Who's Pulling Your Strings?, Dr. Harriet B. Braiker,New York Times bestselling author of The Disease to Please, explains how depression, low self-esteem, chronic anger, and feelings of helplessness are often the result of being caught in relationships with manipulative people--including family members, friends, coworkers, and associates.

Working from sound psychological theory and research, yet writing in a warm, accessible style, Braiker exposes the most common methods manipulative people use to control others--and makes clear that it takes at least two people to enable such a relationship to function. With the help of valuable self-assessment quizzes, action plans, and how-to exercises she empowers readers to:
* Recognize the signs of a manipulative relationship
* Spot manipulators and their typical modus operandi
* Assess their own vulnerability to manipulation
* Identify the 7 main "Head Games" manipulators play
...and much more, including informative case studies and highly effective Resistance Tactics to help those who identify themselves as victim-participants end the damaging cycle of control and manipulation--and clear the way for success and happiness.

Whether at work or at home, we all have to deal with people we can't stand to be around. Our challenge is to develop creative ways to handle these difficult people. Brinkman and Kirschner, both doctors of naturopathic medicine and professional speakers, have just made our job easier with this lively guidebook, in which they identify and explore the psychological roots of ten specific behavior patterns that represent normal people at their worst. Realizing that changing oneself is more realistic than changing the behavior of others, the authors provide a variety of communicative skills that we can cultivate in ourselves to turn conflict into cooperation. Finally, Brinkman and Kirschner (How To Handle Difficult People with Tact and Skill, McGraw, 1994) illustrate how to use these skills with each of the ten problem behaviors. While all problem behaviors might not fit nicely into one of their ten categories, the authors do provide a dynamic assortment of interpersonal communication tools for managing most difficult people. Highly recommended for all libraries.

There is growing interest in the use of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a Qualitative Market Research technique. NLP was previously used in psychology to understand how people think and react, and as a tool in self-development, interpersonal skills and business, looking at how our brains think and experience the world.
Qualitative Market research experts now see that using NLP can help the researchers understand the human brain and, armed with this power, they can find out the truth from interviewees. The Hidden Art of Interviewing People shows how, by using NLP and related techniques in interviews, the market researcher can see beyond the obvious to the truth.
The book provides:
* Practical tools for decoding marketing problems and respondents reactions to questions
* Features a range of techniques from NLP including rapport development, linguistics, reading facial expressions, body language and spatial positioning
"An excellent book that meets the needs of a large number of market research practitioners, and also academics, it is comparatively rare to read a book written by a first class practitioner who is prepared to share the concepts and principles of exactly how the qualitative research craft really works."
