The Complete Idiot’s Guide to MBA Basics
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to MBA Basics
By: Tom Gorman
M-B-A these three letters spell success in business, and for good reason. Now in reality just having a Master of Business Administration degree does not make anyone a master of business administration. That takes years of on the job experience. But the course of study that leads to an MBA prepares you extremely well for a business career. How? By giving you several things that (until) have been hard to get elsewhere. First, an MBA give you the key principles of how to manage a business. A business can be managed either by the “ seat of the pants” or professionally, and business school teaches you the professional way. Professional management calls for setting goals that motivate people, allocating resources to activities that move the company toward those goals, monitoring progress, and making any necessary adjustment. These principles, and others taught in an MBA program, usually lead to success. [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Yoga with Kids
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Yoga with Kids
By: Jodi B. Komitor, M.A. and Eve Adamson
Do you remember what it was like to spend whole days just playing? If you are a child, play is probably a big part of your life. If you are a parent, you may remember when your backyard or bedroom or the long dark hallway into the den were so much more than rooms in your house jungles, forests, forts, palaces, vast oceans, tunnels through the center of the earth. For children, every day is an adventure because the imagination and creativity in a child is so present, accessible, and vivid. Likewise, yoga that most ancient and most modern of physical and spiritual practices takes on an added lightness, joy, and carefree spirit when practiced by children. Yoga allows a child’s natural creativity and imagination to flourish, aided by lots of “pretend” games, nature and animal poses, active movement, dress-up with props, and even deep relaxation.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Speaking in Public with Confidence
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Speaking in Public with Confidence
By: Laurie Rozakis
What’s as reliable as losing your quarter in a New York City telephone, as constant as dandruff, as invariable as middle aged spread? It’s the scores of students who stream into my Speech class every semester looking like they’re ready to face a tax audit or a root canal. And those are the happy ones. Gender’s not a factor: the men and women seem equally wretched. It’s not age, either: I’ve had 18-year-old freshmen and 75-year old retirees with equally long faces and hunched shoulders. Size, shape, style: nope. They all look like someone’s killed their puppy. Every semester, I remind these woebegone men and women that they signed up for this class. I really didn’t shanghai anyone, dragging them out of their warm beds to break rocks on the chain gang. I tell them that public speaking is not a tax audit or a root canal. It’s not even a flat tire on the expressway, a missed train, or a burned casserole. [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Songwriting
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Songwriting
By: Joel Hirschhorn
When I first began writing songs, Manhattan’s Brill Building was the magnet that drew every hungry, starry-eyed songwriter. Music publishers waited in their dark, tiny offices while eager hopefuls like me knocked on their doors, ventured timidly inside, and said, “I’ve got a song. I think it’s a hit.” In those days, kids off the street could wander in and be assured of an audience. The first person to hear my masterpiece, “I’m Going to Peggy’s Party,” was named Sal Giancarlo. He was six feet four and 300 pounds and resembled a wrestler more than a man of musical taste. The needle went on the vinyl, and he listened, legs sprawled over his desk. After three or four bars, he abruptly yanked off the needle and said, “Buddy, this song doesn’t have enough fire. Passion. And remember,” he continued, delivering the worst possible advice any newcomer could receive, “ craft doesn’t matter in pop music. You have to feel it, and it’ll come out right.” [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Piano
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Piano
By: Brad Hill
They say the first time is the best. I vividly remember my first childhood explorations of the piano: pressing the keys, combining notes, and on the second day, playing the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven. (Maybe it was the third day.) My first piano experiments were unsupervised and without instruction. I can still recall the excitement of creating those pure piano tones by pressing the keys, and the thrill of putting notes together by playing two keys at once. But a time came when free experiments had to give way to organized learning or I would still be pressing keys at random today. I gradually learned how music works in general and how the piano works in particular. This book leads you along the same path and gives you a few gratuitous laughs along the way. [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to World History
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to World History
By: Timothy C. Hall, M.A.
Most people assume the study of world history is just the study of an endless series of facts, isolated to certain regions and time periods. This method of studying world history is very limiting: focusing on the details sometimes prevents us from seeing the big picture. The study of world history is really the study of change. It is about the evolution of civilizations. It is about expansion and decline and about actions and reactions. World history examines the factors of change including geography, economics, government, culture, science, technology, society, and religion. The study of world history is also about connections and the themes that connect civilizations over time and space. These themes include: • The diffusion of culture • Interactions of civilizations • Changes caused by people and the environment • Comparisons of political and social systems • Continuity and change in time.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Dealing with Difficult Employees
By: Robert Bacal
You can choose your spouse (but not your children). You can choose your friends. But you don’t always have the option of choosing who you work with, your boss, or your employees. We all find ourselves dealing with “difficult” people at work. And, boy, the versatility of difficult people is amazing. From foot-dragging, to whining and complaining, to sabotage and unreasonable bosses, difficult people seem to have an uncanny ability to make life miserable. Mostly, they aren’t bad people. In fact, they are probably more similar to you than you might imagine. Most difficult behavior is of the garden variety type. Annoying, frustrating, and a nuisance, it’s behavior that you and I and most people use at one time or another. We’re all difficult sometimes. [download]

As we all know, information is power. Many of you may not think of accounting as a means to get key information and to stay in control of your business operation.

You view it as a necessary evil that you must have around in order to present the necessary reports to your investors and supporting financial institutions. We’ll show you how much power you can have if you learn the language of accounting and use the information it generates to manage your business and control your assets and liabilities. In order to harness that power, you need to set up the proper roadmap for your accounts, enter your transactions into that roadmap in a logical way, and then use it to develop the routes for your business success.

Let’s be honest. Most people would like to learn calculus as much as they’d like to be kicked in the face by a mule. Usually, they have to take the course because it’s required or they walked too close to the mule, in that order. Calculus is dull, calculus is boring, and calculus didn’t even get you anything for your birthday. It’s not like you didn’t try to understand calculus. You even got this bright idea to try and read your calculus textbook. What a joke that was. You’re more likely to receive the Nobel Prize for chemistry than to understand a single word of it. Maybe you even asked a friend of yours to help you, and talking to her was like trying to communicate with an Australian aborigine. You guys just didn’t speak the same language. You wish someone would explain things to you in a language that you understand, but in the back of your mind, you know that the math lingo is going to come back to haunt you. You’re going to have to understand it in order to pass this course, and you don’t think you’ve got it in you. Guess what? You do!. [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Understanding Einstein
By: Gary F. Moring
Most of us have heard of Albert Einstein. His face can be found on T-shirts and posters, and his name is associated with atomic energy, prestigious awards, and many young individuals who win science fairs. Some people have called him the greatest scientific genius of the century. He was welcomed in the United States as a hero and often treated as a Hollywood star. Who was this legendary figure who not only had great knowledge, but great wisdom as well? Albert Einstein changed the face of physics. His revolutionary ideas would forever alter the way science viewed the universe. He presented ideas that would unify different areas of physics, making connections between concepts that had never been understood before. The insights that were expressed in his theories revealed a much deeper order to the universe than had previously been known. Although Einstein is most often thought of in relation to his scientific contributions, he impacted many other areas of human endeavor as well. [download]

Did you ever wonder how somebody ever figured out all the details of making a cellphone system work? What about those giant MRI machines that can take a picture of your insides without a single incision? Then there is the universe. We think we know at least something about how it started billions of years ago and where it’s going billions of years in the future. How can we possibly know anything about an event that occurred 14 billion years ago? Science is too often presented either as a huge database of facts or as an endeavor that is open only to a highly educated group of elite thinkers. It is neither of these. In its essence, science is a process, a way of looking at a question and finding an answer. Step-by-step, scientists look at a problem and ask, “How can I test this to see if it is true?” Asking one question at a time, they have built a body of knowledge too vast to be held in single library.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to The Roman Empire
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to The Roman Empire
By: Eric Nelson, Ph.D.
In our fast-forward world, you’d think that the ancient past would be too obscure, too remote, and too foreign to be of relevance. Nowadays the present seems obsolete. And yet, ancient civilizations captivate us. Why? Well, in part, we are drawn by similarities and differences between these cultures and our own. It’s really interesting to see how other people lived, worked, fought, and loved. Ancient civilizations often confront us with differences so stark that they shock, delight, and appall us. As remote as some aspects of these civilizations are, isn’t it engaging that they were still people? Both similarities and differences speak to the human condition, and what it means to live as a member of the human race. In addition, we sometimes look to ancient civilizations for models. We like patterns, and in a complicated world, it would be helpful to find models for solving (or avoiding) some of our own problems and to predict what might happen next. Humans have been at the work of being humans for a long time. Perhaps someone already figured out one of our problems, or tried similar solutions to them. [download]

Here’s the beautiful byproduct of weight training: By adding muscle, you may increase your daily caloric expenditure even when you’re sitting at a desk, watching the tube, or sleeping. (Now there’s an outrageous advertising claim: “Get slim while you sleep.”) There is, of course, a catch. Lifting weights alone won’t make you slim. We all know people who come to the gym faithfully for years yet never seem to loose those unwanted pounds. We’ve even seen some who get fatterno easy feat. And as any football fan knows, the gridiron is littered with turbo-powerful no-neck muscleheads who are as rotund as prize-winning heifers. In other words, just because you’re strong or diligent about working out doesn’t mean you’ll be slim, nor does it mean you’re actually fit. Weight training alone does not expend a lot of calories (only 812 calories/minute during the actual muscular contractions). [download]

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to The Perfect Interview
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to The Perfect Interview
By: Marc Dorio
The objective of an effective resumé (or cover letter, query letter, cold call, and all the other early steps in the job hunt) is not to get you a job. It is to get you an interview. The job interview is your ultimate opportunity to “sell” yourself to an employer, even as you gauge whether that employer is right for you. It is a doorway to a job and a portal to a career. At least, that’s the way it is supposed to be. Even as we joust and jockey in quest for that interview, many of us look forward to the event as to a grim interrogation. We think of it as an obstacle rather than a path to employment. Many of us are intimidated by a process that makes us feel small, inadequate, inept like a complete idiot [download]
