Book Description

"When I tell friends at home in Canada abut the things I have seen, they often say, 'It must be so depressing.' But my work has never felt depressing. Doctors Without Borders is an organization built to act, to make things better. Together with other volunteers and the support of millions of people around the world, we don't have to sit by helplessly and see a disaster unfold before us, wondering what on earth we can do. The gift of action is ours."

When children are caught in civil wars, when earthquakes destroy homes and villages, when AIDS and other diseases shatter families and communities - the volunteers of Doctors Without Borders are there. Their mission is simple - to bring life-saving care to the world's neediest people and to speak out when the rights of the people in their care are abused or violated.

MÃ©decins Sans FrontiÃ¨res, known in English as Doctors Without Borders and by its volunteers as MSF, is the world's largest independent medical humanitarian relief organization. Every year, more than 3,000 MSF volunteers and 12,000 local men and women bring medical aid to people in more than 70 countries.

In Healing Our World, David Morley presents his own story and the stories of other MSFers who have volunteered in some of the most dangerous and forgotten corners of the world - the Congo, El Salvador, Chechnya, Bangladesh, Mozambique, Afghanistan, southern Africa. These are stories about healing and helping people, about making the world a better place - stories filled with sorrow and hope, anger and idealism, determination and passion.

The words and experiences - good and bad - of MSF volunteers who come from all over the world and every walk of life.
Information about MSF's history, how it selects its volunteers and decides where to send them.
Includes photographs from the field.

Book Description

A guide to attracting, recruiting, interviewing, and hiring the best technical talent.

A comprehensive system for hiring top-notch technical employees
Packed with useful information and specific advice written in a breezy, humorous style
Learn how to find great people--and get them to work for you--in an afternoon!

The top software developers are ten times as productive as average developers. Ten times. You can't afford not to hire them. But if you haven't been reading Joel Spolsky's books or blog, you probably don't know how to find them and make them want to work for you.

In this brief book, Joel reveals all his secrets--from his years at Microsoft, and as the co-founder of Fog Creek Software--for recruiting the best developers in the world. You'll learn:

How to create a pipeline of excellent developers using internships--and why this is not optional
How to build a workplace where the best programmers want to work
The secrets to reading resumes, interviewing technical people, and deciding when to make an offer

If you've ever wondered what you should be looking for in a resume, if you've ever struggled to decide whether to hire someone at the end of an interview, or if you're wondering why you can't find great programmers, stop everything and read this book.

Building great teams.......2007-09-29

Another great book by Joel outlining his experience in hiring and building great software development teams. As with prior publications, a lot of the content is taken directly from his personal blog, but the book is well worth the investment. As a startup founder I found a lot of invaluable advice for hiring, screening and building the team culture. Both managers and software developers looking for a great job search strategy will definitely benefit from reading this book!

Quick and enjoyable.......2007-08-11

I started thumbing through this book at a local bookstore and then decided I had to read the rest. This book covers some great principles in finding the right people to get work done correctly. Joel focuses on programming exclusively, but the same methods he covers will certainly work in nearly any IT position, and probably most technical professions across the board.

The author does a super job of making a dry subject very entertaining and offers very knowledgable methods, ideas and processes for finding the right people to make your company better. My wife even read part of it and enjoyed some of the humor and stories found within.

I loved the idea of treating programmers like Rock Stars, and will quickly be showing a copy of this to my management team!

The book also acts as a good benchmark for you and your company, even if you're not in a position to directly hire/fire someone. I was able to see what my company is doing right, and where there is certainly some room to improve.

Best programmers = Best Software = Profit.......2007-07-31

Joel bases the entire book on one key premise: "The problem with using a lot of mediocre programmers instead of a couple great ones is that no matter how long they work, they never, ever produce something as good as what the great programmers can produce." He spends the first entire chapter building his case for this premise, and in my opinion hits some strong chords with his reasoning, showing that there are some facts to back up his assertion that mediocre talent, no matter how many of them there are, will never generate something like the iPod.

The meat of the book is about how to find and ultimately capture this rare and elusive "great talent" he speaks so highly of in Chapter 1. To his credit, Joel takes the time to provide the reasoning behind each of his directives, in a way that allows the reader to walk away feeling enriched with new ideas and possibilities rather than feeling like a dope for having interviewed folks the "wrong way" for so many years.

I found the last chunk of the book to be entertaining, though a bit choppy in spots. It seemed more like a quick add-on than a wrap-up. None the less, Joel comes through with some key "take away" points, as any good management books needs.

Regarding a few of the other reviewer's comments, I will suggest that those questioning Joel's non-comment on outsourcing or that he is living in the Dot-Com era, have perhaps missed the entire point of the book. Outsourcing cannot succeed if the ultimate goal is the make shrink-wrapped software that makes money. Why? Because any short-term savings gained by hiring five mediocre programmers to replace one great programmer will quickly be consumed by the drop in sales when the mediocre talent fails to come up with the mind-blowing features the great programmer used to on a regular basis.

And finally, Joel's recommended treatment of great programmers is only for great programmers. The idea is, if you only hire the best (not the really good ones, only the absolute BEST), then you can easily afford to treat them like royalty, a cost that will pay itself back many times over in the years to come.

Lala land.......2007-07-30

Joel obviously is still living in the same fantasy land that he was in during the first essay that he speaks about in his book introduction. He's a very funny guy and sometimes you begin to wonder if the whole book is a joke. As a developer, an especially a Java developer I found the book to be ridiculous and nearly offensive.
The concepts he so broadly paints a picture with don't apply to any companies with the exception of perhaps the top 2% (if that) He's looking to bring in high school kids as interns?
He glosses over the real meat of the industry, system developers who don't work on the most cutting edge systems and who have to work for the big companies, with basically a side note when in fact these are probably the recruiters who are reading his book.
The book wreaks of the dot com days. I feel worse for having contributed my couple of bucks to his moronic campaign.

A somewhat different view of hiring developers.......2007-07-22

This book represents Joel Spolsky's approach to hiring programmers. Smart and Gets Things Done is based on Spolsky's weblog, like his previous book, Joel on Software.

The main thrust of the book is to state that you should only hire the best. While many people would think this is reasonable and obvious, Joel takes the advice much farther than most. He describes in detail his methods for recognizing top talent, convincing them to join your company, and keeping them once you've got them. Joel is not talking about some useless slogan ("We hire only the best"), he is really talking about identifying the best and doing whatever is necessary to hire them.

His advice will probably annoy many managers and some people in human resources. Most programmers will probably love his advice. Whether the approach will work for a company different than Joel's is another question altogether.

One surprise to me was the fact that this book contained new material that was not on Joel's weblog. The book is extremely readable. Whether you agree with Joel or not on the specifics of his approach, the book is definitely worth reading if you are involved in any way with hiring software developers. It will give you insight into the people that you are innovating and show glimpses of what you may be competing with.

Book Description

With more than a billion people now living on less than a dollar a day, and with eight million dying each year because they are simply too poor to live, most would agree that the problem of global poverty is our greatest moral challenge. The large and pressing practical question is how best to address that challenge. Although millions of dollars flow to poor countries, the results are often disappointing.

In Making Aid Work, Abhijit Banerjee--an "aid optimist"--argues that aid has much to contribute, but the lack of analysis about which programs really work causes considerable waste and inefficiency, which in turn fuels unwarranted pessimism about the role of aid in fostering economic development.

Banerjee challenges aid donors to do better. Building on the model used to evaluate new drugs before they come on the market, he argues that donors should assess programs with field experiments using randomized trials. In fact, he writes, given the number of such experiments already undertaken, current levels of development assistance could focus entirely on programs with proven records of success in experimental conditions.

Responding to his challenge, leaders in the field--including Nicholas Stern, Raymond Offenheiser, Alice Amsden, Ruth Levine, Angus Deaton, and others--question whether randomized trials are the most appropriate way to evaluate success for all programs. They raise broader questions as well, about the importance of aid for economic development and about the kinds of interventions (micro or macro, political or economic) that will lead to real improvements in the lives of poor people around the world. With one in every six people now living in extreme poverty, getting it right is crucial.

Book Description

Why, despite decades of high levels of foreign aid, has development been so disappointing in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, leading to rising numbers of poor and fueling political instabilities? While not ignoring the culpability of Africans in these problems, Carol Lancaster finds that much of the responsibility is in the hands of the governments and international aid agencies that provide assistance to the region. The first examination of its kind, Aid to Africa investigates the impact of bureaucratic politics, special interest groups, and public opinion in aid-giving countries and agencies. She finds that aid agencies in Africa often misdiagnosed problems, had difficulty designing appropriate programs that addressed the local political environment, and failed to coordinate their efforts effectively.

This balanced but tough-minded analysis does not reject the potential usefulness of foreign aid but does offer recommendations for fundamental changes in how governments and multilateral aid agencies can operate more effectively.

Customer Reviews:

Hit and Miss.......2002-11-22

Like so many pieces of work about the effectiveness of aid, this piece by Lancaster has its strengths as well as its obvious blind spots. Lancaster does a relatively good job of analyzing the bureaucratic strengths and weaknesses of many of the larger national and multinational aid agencies. It is in this respect that the book shines. On the other hand, it is obvious that Lancaster is strongly wedded to neo-classical economic theory and this bias runs throughout the book and leads her to condemn many aid practices based almost solely on these fundamentalist beliefs. Even more damning, though, is her near absolute ignorance of the international economic and political realities that have destabilized Africa and that have been almost completely uncontrollable by the aid agencies that she so easily critiques. She even goes so far as to give her greatest praise to one of the few agencies that can be directly credited with much of the economic instability plaguing the continent, the World Bank. She is honest in her critique of USAID and DFID being partly handcuffed by their country's larger foreign policy goals, but fails to place blame at the feet of these agencies' mother nations for their roles in producing or at least aiding in the creation of political instability of the region. Still, with these very serious critiques aside, Lancaster does do a very good job in providing valuable organizational critiques of several very important aid agencies. In this respect, this is a valuable piece of scholarship. I just wish she had the ability to be more honest (as she is a former government employee and recipient of significant US government funding, it may not be realistic to expect this of her) or less blind.

Book Description

There are many books in English that present Sufi doctrine, but few that can be used as practical travel guides along the Path. Originally written in classical Arabic, this volume is in widespread use among Sufi teachers in Arabia, Indonesia, and East Africa; its devotions, prayers, and practical ethics are invaluable as a guide along the Sufi Way.

Simple and clear understanding of Islam.......2007-04-09

If you realy wish to have a knowledge of the Muslim faith without going through numerous books many which may be of dubious value then you need look no further than here. All of the books of Imam al-Haddad are clear and simple to understand they avoid complicated terminology and explain Islam as it is, a simple faith that can be understood and practiced by anyone regardles of location in the world.

Mostafa al-Badawi is a first rate translater I would also recomened his book 'Historical sites of Madina' read it before the Saudi government wipes away forever the memory of what Islam was.

Advice.......2004-06-10

The genius of this book is that it condenses the collected wisdom of centuries of Muslim spiritual doctors such as Imam-al Ghazali into a handy, brief manual. For centuries books like this have shaped men and women of all races, from Indonesians to Swahilis, into shining examples of godliness and beautiful conduct. Anyone who implements the advice here can become what Muslim mystics call a complete, perfected human being, characterized by everything from kindness and charity (including a cheerful countenance), to waking up in the middle of the night to worship, to inward states such as thankfulness and trust in God's will. Like all men of God, Imam al-Haddad's writing is clear, sober and eloquent.

Healing Broken Hearts.......2007-09-29

I am never disappointed when I read a book by Richard Paul Evans. I try to read all of his books.

The Sunflower is the story of a young doctor, working in a major US hospital, who inspite of all his best efforts can not save the life of a young boy. The doctor leaves his practice and travels to the jungles of South America. When the Doctor arrives at an orphanage in Peru, he finally finds his calling. The ophanage is very run down and simple, yet it fulfils the purpose of taking the young children off the streets and giving them an education.

After the breakup of a six year realationship, Christine, a fussy girl who has to have everything just right and even owns a carpet rake, finds herself on two week, working trip to Peru.

Christine and Paul,(the doctor) hit it off and begin an unlikely romance. They know that such romances will never work, and Christine needs to return to her life in America. Somehow, in two weeks, she has fallen in love with a man, a country and the orpan children.

Will Chritine leave her comfortable life in the US behind, to live with poisous creatures and dirty conditions? Will the doctor who has found himself in a jungle village, leave behind the life he has forged and the orphan children he loves, for a woman he has only known for two weeks?

You will love the tale of the Sunflower, woven into a love story, by master storyteller, Richard Paul Evans.

Like a Gift.......2007-09-26

I have no idea what caused me to pull this title off the shelf and buy it because it certainly was unlike anything else I'd read in recent years. I half-expected more action and adventure, especially because the book's blurb said that the events take place in Peru, but in the end I found myself slaphappy in the middle of a compelling love story.

The author has managed to avoid graphic sexual content and utilizes only the thinnest amount of sensual dialogue, relying more on the actions and unspoken sentiments of the characters involved to move the reader. And you will be moved. He also leverages some excellent attention-getting devices, such as the way the story is told through a third party's eyes, the short philosophical quotes that begin each chapter, and the book's dead-on relevance to the tests we face in overcoming loss and pain.

I suppose the battle between love and geography has been told before, and perhaps love does not normally fare well in those struggles. But if nothing else, this book is, on so many levels, about hope and the selflessly giving people that our society should never take for granted. There's also a global humanitarian slant to the book that suits me as well, especially as it concerns children and the environment. Unless you've got a heart made of stone, you won't be disappointed.

Precious Sunflowers.......2007-09-19

I was thoroughly involved in this story of the Sunflower Orphanage and the details of the country of Peru. I did check out the website for the orphanage which was encourage at the end of the book. The factual aspects of this book and the needs of these children will touch your heart. My son had an extremely similar missionary visit to Mexico where he helped at an orphanage. How and why the children arrive at such an orphanage are identical in nature. It is amazing that our world cannot put an end to such devastation of young lives. The fictional parts of the book were equally engaging. There's nothing like a love story to envigorate a woman's heart.

eh..........2007-08-26

I usually love RPE, and this was an enjoyable book to read, however, the charactors lacked the depth in both personality and story line to be believable. I like to feel like I know the charactors and can relate to their broken hearts, or whatever central crisis always seems to be neccessary to write about a romance. But I never got warm fuzzies. This was supposed to be a love story and I can't find the falling in love part. I didn't feel these two people were meant for each other the way "a great love story" would.

That being said, Paul Cooks diary is really what I would like to read. I feel like the glimpses are more telling than the filling. I won't quit reading RPE and I still recommend his books but I hope in his next book the story is more important than the message.

Sweet story...........2007-07-18

It is kinda condensed but because of the length it almost had to be. It isn't really a "love" story but a romantic story. Two people who connect after being tossed around by life. You never know where your heart is going to take you or who will be your life partner. Excellent heart entertainment.
