Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence, and Style to Get Ahead
Fonzworth Bentley
$15.65

About this product:
“My manners were the first ingredient that set me apart from my peers,” notes the suave and stylish Fonzworth Bentley, Sean “Diddy” Combs’s former personal assistant and a celebrity in his own right. Now, in this one-of-a-kind book, Bentley shares his surefire strategies for success.

Just how does a guy move from Atlanta to New York City without knowing a soul in the entertainment industry and become, in less than two years, the P.A. to one of the biggest moguls in hip-hop history? Bentley attributes his accomplishment to one key equation: Manners + Confidence + Style = Swagger. With this formula, Bentley transformed himself into an icon of unflappable grace, elegance, and good manners–and now he’s on a mission to help you step up your game, advance your swagger, get ahead, and live out your dreams.

Inside you’ll learn everything you need to know about

• manners and the magic of Please and Thank You
• the art of eating well, from which glass to use to handling the napkin
• the basics of fine dining, whether you’re a host or a guest
• the do’s and “oh no you di’int’s” of cell phones, e-mail, and text messaging
• projecting confidence through your body language
• the power of introductions, even when you can’t remember someone’s name
• what to do before, during, and after a job interview
• body maintenance, from hair to toes to pearly whites
• the principles of timeless fashion, so you never go out of style
• 15 things every man and 15 things every woman must have in his or her closet
Plus “Bent Hints”–little things to keep in mind for any occasion

Though we seem to be in the midst of what Bentley calls “the Golden Age of Disrespect,” he demonstrates how we can add a touch of class and dignity to our lives. He’s here to make sure your color schemes are fly and your stance is stage-ready.

Filled with photographs to illustrate his lessons, Advance Your Swagger is the lifestyle book of the year. He’s taken care of his world–now let Mr. Bentley whip yours into style.

BOOK
Advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: State of the Art and the Road to Autonomy (Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering)
$116.20

About this product:

There has been tremendous emphasis in unmanned aerial vehicles, both of fixed (airplanes) and rotary wing (vertical take off and landing, helicopters) types over the past ten years. Applications span both civilian and military domains, the latter being the most important at this stage.

This edited book provides a solid and diversified reference source related to basic, applied research and development on small and miniature unmanned aerial vehicles, both fixed and rotary wing. As such, the book offers background information on the evolution of such vehicles over the years, followed by modeling and control fundamentals that are of paramount importance due to unmanned aerial vehicle model complexity, nonlinearity, coupling, inhirent instability and parameter values uncertainty. Aspects of navigation, including visual-based navigation and target tracking are discussed, followed by applications to attitude estimation on micro unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous solar unmanned aerial vehicle, biomimetic sensing for autonomous flights in near-earth environments, localization of air-ground wireless sensor networks, decentralized formation tracking, design of an unmanned aerial vehicle for volcanic gas sampling and design of an on-board processing controller for miniature helicopters.

BOOK
Strategies to Advance Gerontology Excellence
and Pamela E. Toto
$99.00

About this product:
In recent years, occupational therapy practice with older adults has rapidly grown as a result of the demographic trends toward an aging population as well as increased longevity among people with chronic disabling condition. At the same time, research within the outside the profession affirms that occupational engagement is significant to the health and well-being of older adults.

This comprehensive text (also available as continuing education; see AOTA's web site for more information) is intended to deepen the knowledge of experienced occupational therapy professionals about occupation and its power as a therapeutic mechanism that enables participation with life and prevents decline in older adulthood. Readers will learn how to recognize how participation in meaningful occupations plays a key role in the quality of life of older adults; recognize the diversity and complexities of changes related to aging and their impact on the occupations of older adults; differentiate among multiple dimensions of context and how they affect the occupational performance, health, and well-being of older adults; recognize the importance of systems theory and transactional approach to understanding older adults in context; recognize how client-centered, occupation-based, and evidence-based occupational therapy maximizes participation in desired occupations and prevents decline in function for older adults; identify external systems that promote participation in occupations and reduce barriers to services of older adults; and identify future diverse roles for occupational therapists and related research that supports meaningful occupations and quality of life for older adults and communities. Chapters are divided into 6 sections on occupation; diversity; context; evaluation, intervention, and outcomes; advocacy; and the future and include topics such as roles, habits, and routines; transitions; aging theories; client factors; health conditions; occupational justice; community care; and evidence-based practice. Strategies to Advance Gerontology Excellence illuminates the aging process from an occupational perspective and showcases occupational therapy's unique expertise in gerontology. It can serve as a resource for faculty who are developing or revising curricula to prepare undergraduates for gerontological practice, it can help therapists in their beginning years develop their expertise with the aging population, and it can help specialists further their excellence as gerontological occupational therapists.

BOOK
Theoretical Sensitivity: Advances in the Methodology of Grounded Theory
Barney G. Glaser
$84.95

About this product:
This is a classic must read for serious grounded theorists.

To me, this book was a bit chewy in the very beginning. Believe it or not, some messages in the book are very mathematical. It takes high level abstract thinking to be able digest the book. It's definitely not a bathtub reading. After weeks of cracking, everything felt into place. It has tremendously increased the level of my understanding of GT. Now, I rely it as an important source of information when I need some clarifications about GT.

BOOK
Advances in Behavioral Economics (The Roundtable Series in Behavioral Economics)
$33.78

About this product:
Twenty years ago, behavioral economics did not exist as a field. Most economists were deeply skeptical--even antagonistic--toward the idea of importing insights from psychology into their field. Today, behavioral economics has become virtually mainstream. It is well represented in prominent journals and top economics departments, and behavioral economists, including several contributors to this volume, have garnered some of the most prestigious awards in the profession.

This book assembles the most important papers on behavioral economics published since around 1990. Among the 25 articles are many that update and extend earlier foundational contributions, as well as cutting-edge papers that break new theoretical and empirical ground.

Advances in Behavioral Economics will serve as the definitive one-volume resource for those who want to familiarize themselves with the new field or keep up-to-date with the latest developments. It will not only be a core text for students, but will be consulted widely by professional economists, as well as psychologists and social scientists with an interest in how behavioral insights are being applied in economics.

The articles, which follow Colin Camerer and George Loewenstein's introduction, are by the editors, George A. Akerlof, Linda Babcock, Shlomo Benartzi, Vincent P. Crawford, Peter Diamond, Ernst Fehr, Robert H. Frank, Shane Frederick, Simon Gächter, David Genesove, Itzhak Gilboa, Uri Gneezy, Robert M. Hutchens, Daniel Kahneman, Jack L. Knetsch, David Laibson, Christopher Mayer, Terrance Odean, Ted O'Donoghue, Aldo Rustichini, David Schmeidler, Klaus M. Schmidt, Eldar Shafir, Hersh M. Shefrin, Chris Starmer, Richard H. Thaler, Amos Tversky, and Janet L. Yellen.
