336 pages | Publisher: Wiley; 5 edition | English | ISBN-10: 0471405256 | PDF
Crucial formulas for baking success--an updated edition of the classic reference

What do virtually all breads and desserts have in common? They rely on baking formulas, the building block "recipes" that every serious baker must master. For example, behind every tempting napoleon lies a formula for classic puff pastry, while a truly heavenly chocolate brownie cannot exist without the knowledge of how to temper chocolate. Compiled by a veteran instructor at The Culinary Institute of America, this authoritative reference contains 200 completely up-to-date formulas using essential ingredients found in today's pastry kitchens. From American Pie Dough and Pt Brise to Pastry Cream and Crme Anglaise, these recipes are written in small- and large-yield versions to accommodate the needs of the serious home baker as well as the pastry chef.

Learn and Grow Rich

English | PDF + Audio Mp3 | 14.4 Mb
I’m tired of hearing from more and more people who have $100,000 in student loan debt but who have no focus for meaningful work. They have a nice piece of paper and no identifiable skills for generating income.

Recently I did a teleseminar for all of our www.48Days.net members. Pierce Marrs and I presented 10 basic techniques for getting the education that can transform your success…that don’t take 4 years or require $100,000. This teleseminar went so beautifully, we have packaged it into an electronic package complete with a PDF e-Book on Continual Learning.

Here’s a tip:
“A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.”
- Chinese Proverb

Continual learning is the key to continual living. If you stop learning you have effectively stopped living. Fortunately, we are presented with opportunities every day to learn and improve ourselves. And that improvement opens the door to new work, career and business applications.

Make 2011 the year to get the education you always wanted –and yes, in one year you can learn more valuable information than you may have spent in 4 or more years of college. In my detailed process you’ll find my Ten Steps to Getting Rich – and you can do them all in one year and for very little cost.

I have always loved the process of study – because my goal was to get the knowledge and learning – not to get a piece of paper with my name on it. I have always viewed “education” as something that helps increase my options, broadens my horizons and perhaps positions me as an expert in a given field.

Framing it as such, one can easily see that “education” can occur in many, many ways. Sitting in a seat with 32 other people, regurgitating information fed from the professor may in fact be one of the poorer methods of becoming educated.

Let me share with you just some of the ways I’ve gotten the education I really care about – the one that has expanded my options and continues to enrich my life in many ways. In Learn & Grow Rich I’ve identified the books, seminars, blogs and other resources that can make your learning change who you are and put money in your bank account – beginning immediately.

This week, I want to give you the opportunity to access this teleseminar in its entirety, along with the notes I personally made for the call, packaged into a 29-page eBook. Listen to this powerful presentation that could make 2011 your best year ever.

Everything but the Coffee: Learning about America from Starbucks

320 pages | Publisher: University of California Press (October 20, 2009) | English | ISBN-10: 052026106 | PDF | 11.7 Mb
Everything but the Coffee casts a fresh eye on the world's most famous coffee company and looks beyond baristas, movie cameos, and Paul McCartney CDs to understand what Starbucks can tell us about America. Bryant Simon spent five years visiting hundreds of Starbucks around the world to ask, why did Starbucks take hold so quickly with consumers? What did it seem to provide over and above a decent cup of coffee? Why at the moment of Starbucks' profit-generating peak did the company lose its way, leaving observers baffled about how it might regain its customers and its cultural significance? Everything but the Coffee is the first book about Starbucks that probes the company's psychological, emotional, political, and sociological power to discover how Starbucks' explosive success and rapid deflation exemplify American culture at this historical moment. Most importantly, it shows that Starbucks speaks to a deeply felt American need for predictability and class standing, community and authenticity, revealing that Starbucks' appeal lies not in the product it sells but in the easily consumed identity it offers.

68 pages | Publisher: Amacom (April 23, 2010) | English | PDF | ISBN-10: 0814416918
Are leaders born, or made? And what's the single most important quality a real leader should possess? Philosophers and management theorists have endlessly debated-and just as endlessly written about-these subjects for centuries. Finally, here's a book that cuts to the chase. In 68 of the most succinct, no-punches-pulled pages you'll ever read, acclaimed author-speaker-coach John Baldoni maintains that "leadership presence" is a form of communication that can be learned, and then provides the hows and the whys of learning it. He starts by defining what genuine leadership presence is, and discusses right and wrong ways to demonstrate leadership taken from real-life examples. Baldoni explains how to communicate your objectives in ways that encourage people to buy into the process-even if it includes tough subjects like layoffs, closures, and terminations. Along the way he adds some provocative comments on the importance of ethical actions in tough times as well as good-including why merely thinking good thoughts and voicing good intentions are never enough.
