Weiss, Donald H.
1995 7000412 Hardcover. Very Good. 1.5 x 6.2 x 9.2 inches. From Library Journal America's disgruntled employees increasingly dispute their bosses' personnel decisions. And they no longer just grouse, grieve, or quit: they sue. In 1988, courts awarded workers over $70 million in wrongful-discharge and breach-of-con tract suits against U.S. business. Weiss has written a manager's guide through the thicket of law and regulation dealing with recruitment, interviews, sexual discrimi nation and harassment, performance re views, discipline, privacy, and termination. In everyday English, Weiss reviews the law (including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and recent enactments protecting people with AIDS), defines key legal terms, and suggests ways managers can handle personnel actions that might otherwise get them in trouble. Weiss accompanies each topic with relevant cases and provides an appropriate amount of legal citation. Recommended for collections in employment law and labor relations.

MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS: THE TRUE STORY OF A PROMINENT PSYCHIATRIST, HIS YOUNG PATIENT, AND THE PAST-LIFE THERAPY THAT CHANGED BOTH THEIR LIVES
Weiss, Brian L.
1988 1160438 Amazon.com Psychiatry and metaphysics blend together in this fascinating book based on a true case history. Dr. Weiss, who was once firmly entrenched in a clinical approach to psychiatry, finds himself reluctantly drawn into past-life therapy when a hypnotized client suddenly reveals details of her previous lives. During one hypnosis session his client introduces the spirit guides who have been her soul therapists in between lives. This is when the story really takes off for Weiss, who discovers that these guides have specific messages about his dead son as well as Weiss's mission in life. No, we cannot verify the truth of this story using the limited scientific tools we have available. However, it is hard to dispute that this well-respected graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School has discovered a personal truth that has led him to be an enormously popular speaker, author, and leader in the field of past-life therapy. --Gail Hudson Product Description: As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when she began to channel messages from the "space between lives," which contained remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss' family and his dead son. Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career. Fireside 0-671-65786-0 / 9780671657864

SITE SPECIFIC: THE WORK OF WEISS/MANFREDI ARCHITECTS
Weiss, M.
2000 49149 Terence Riley "Weiss and Manfredi strive to create places that not only accommodate the daily interchange of public life but, in so doing, reveal something more profound about the landscape from which those activities, and hence the architecture, emerge." David Leatherbarrow "The artificial landscapes of Weiss/Manfredi Architects demonstrate with eloquence and quiet insistence that architectural sites are not given but made, and once made they guide the development of spatiality and construction. The beauty and skill of these projects arises out of the challenge and importance of this radical premise." Princeton Architectural Press 1-56898-208-9 / 9781568982083

The Clustered World: How We Live, What We Buy, and What It All Means About Who We Are
Weiss, Michael J.
2000 49287 From the Publisher Michael Weiss expands on the geodemographics of The Clustering of America with this fascinating look at the sixty-two new lifestyle "clusters" that define who we are by what we buy. Clustering has become a widely accepted business concept throughout the world, revealing a global village of people who have more in common with foreigners of the same cluster than they do with their fellow countrypeople. Publishers Weekly It's a brave new world for marketers, thanks to the data-gathering efforts of computers. With their number-crunching ability, it's now possible to identify many characteristics shared by residents of specific neighborhoods, including age, income level, education, buying habits, favorite forms of entertainment and consumption of brand-name products. Weiss is one of the pioneers in developing this form of demographic profile, first introduced in 1988 in his book, The Clustering of America. A decade later, as his new book relates, much more is known and some things have changed. From the established urban areas of the U.S. to the emerging consumer nations of Eastern Europe, clustering analysis provides a practical snapshot of attitudes and behaviors. Among the 62 distinct American clusters described here are unique groups such as "bohemian mix" (they prefer jogging to golfing and like foreign videos), "old Yankee rows" (stamp collecting is out, lottery tickets are in) and "blue blood estates" (country clubs, housekeepers and tennis are popular) . Readers unfamiliar with the modern world of marketing may find this off-putting, but the cutesy labels and standardized profiles have turned out to represent a bonanza--for advertisers, product developers, politicians and TV producers, among others--because they produce results. As Weiss states, "Forget race, national origin, age, household composition, and wealth. The characteristic that defines and separates Americans more than any other is the cluster." A minor complaint is the promotional nature of the contents, which focuses on the work of a single market research company. Maps and illus. (Jan.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information. The Standard Once, in the not-too-distant past, most Americans read Life magazine, watched the Ed Sullivan Show and drove cars made in Detroit. Today, in a nation of 270 million people, 100 million households, 260,000 Census Block neighborhoods, hundreds of cable TV channels and millions of Web sites, mass culture is but a quaint memory. As author Michael J. Weiss observes: "When you say 'oil' in Rural Industria, a blue-collar Heartland cluster, residents think 'Quaker State.' In the family suburbs of Winner's Circle, the second most affluent lifestyle, they think 'extra virgin.'" Rural Industria? Winner's Circle? That's the way the landscape looks when you gaze through Prizm, or the Potential Rating Index by ZIP Markets, a lifestyle-based segmentation system created by Arlington, Va.-based marketing research firm Claritas. Weiss, a fellow at the Columbia School of Journalism, continues his exploration of that landscape in The Clustered World, his third book on the topic of Prizm. The book is part chronicle of American culture and part brochure for modern marketing-research companies, Claritas in particular. Overall, though, it gives a fascinating, and at times unsettling, glimpse of a nation divided as it enters the 21st century. Formulated in the 1970s by sociologist-cum-marketer Jonathan Robbins, Prizm is based on the old folk wisdom that "birds of a feather flock together." Robbins took that simple idea and founded a new area of marketing research known as "geodemographics," which suggested that birds of a feather not only flock together, but also pursue similar lifestyles, buy similar products and consume similar media. Today, the notion of geographic segmentation has evolved into the "clustering systems" of Weiss' title, which are used to define people according to their every preference, from bowling alleys in Florida to social policies in Sweden.

The Man Who Warned America
Weiss, Murray
2003 19901 The first comprehensive inside look at the investigation into Al Qaeda, and at John O’ Neill, the FBI counter-terrorism agent who warned that an attack like September 11 was imminent. For many people, September 11 was the day ‘ the unimaginable’ happened. But one FBI agent, John O’ Neill, had repeatedly warned the US Government that such an attack was possible. Ironically, O’ Neill lost his own life on September 11, just days after beginning a new job as head of security for the World Trade Center. As one of the FBI’ s foremost counter-terrorism experts, John O’ Neill played a leading role in almost every major investigation of terrorism against Americans in the past decade. O’ Neill was a dashing, larger-than-life character who irritated many members of US and foreign governments with his aggressive, hands-on tactics and his insistent, repeated warnings about the possibility of an attack on US soil. Disillusioned by his experiences with the FBI, O’ Neill left governmental service to assume the position of chief of security for the Twin Towers in August 2001. Full of twists and turns, John O’ Neill’ s tragic story reveals how one man’ s unheeded warnings came back to haunt the country he worked so hard to defend. Published at Twenty Seven Dollars.
