· Description
The first bridge book on winning by skillful bidding and play
surrounding the queens—from queen camouflage to queen sacrifice (both real and
sham) to queen defence—inspired by the author’s 1993 Bols Tip of Queening your
Defence. Covers bidding, declarer play, opening leads and responses, exit
cards, entries, and defense with strong trumps. Clear, to-the-point analyses of
nearly 100 hands, many played by international experts.

“Boehm does include all
of the key elements [of defense] .... Penalty doubles are covered
comprehensively.” |

· Description
This book teaches the principles
of good defense. When you feel reasonably confident about your ability to
defend, you will feel more secure in doubling the opponents. Successful penalty
doubles are a sure way to improve your performance. Using the Socratic method,
the book links defense to penalty doubles in a sequential progression. This
book will have strong appeal to tournament players of intermediate ability.

· Description
Part I of this book will
equip you with a variety of useful, easy-to-master bidding tools to help you and
partner discover when to grab the 3NT brass ring, and, just as important, when
to avoid it. Reaching good 3NT contracts doesn't confer an automatic
bonus-there is that niggling rule about needing to make what you bid. So, Part
II is dedicated to the play of 3NT. Since you are apt to defend 3NT twice as
often as you declare (50% versus 25%), defensive counters are given full
weight.

· Description
Nothing exemplifies the
keen competitive spirit of tournament bridge better than the penalty double. Anytime
a final contract is doubled, the stakes are raised—not just the score but the
implied mano a mano challenge. When you acquire a feel for opportunistic
penalty doubles, you have added a potent weapon to your arsenal. Your courage
to double freely and wisely will make you a respected and feared opponent. And
if the opponents occasionally make a doubled contract against you, be consoled
by what a mentor taught me: if they never make a doubled contract, you aren’t
doubling often enough. This book, like my books on demon doubling and 3NT, is
intended for the intermediate and advanced intermediate club and tournament
player.

Matchpoints
Versus IMPs: |
||
|
Augie Boehm |
|||
|
$13.95 |
140 pp. |
||
· Description
Matchpoint and IMP events
are based on very different scoring systems. Matchpoint scoring rewards the frequency
of gain; how often do you find the winning action? IMP scoring rewards the amount
of gain, the same basis for rubber bridge. Each form of competition is
distinctive, and a successful, well-rounded player must master a broad range of
strategies. This book looks at the tantalizing question of which form of
scoring is the more skillful, examines the role of luck, and shows how to pick
a personal style. This book, like my books on demon doubling and 3NT, is
intended for the intermediate and advanced intermediate club and tournament
player.

· Description
While multinational
corporations have struggled with international HR problems over decades, the
United Nations organizations have developed a well-functioning career development
system in a multicultural environment that is one of the most remarkable
success stories of the United Nations. Globalization and Human Resource
Management is the first book to compare the HRM strategies and practices of
the UN system to those of the private sector and show how to modify them to
suit the objectives of MNCs. The implications are straightforward and will have
immediate practical impact.
As the US dollar has
significantly depreciated, US companies are, now more than ever, seeking business
opportunities overseas. At the same time, they have to master ostracizing
cultural challenges. Globalization and Human Resource Management is must
reading for decision makers in international business, including HR managers,
CEOs, COOs, CFOs, business development managers, sales & marketing
managers, public relations managers, and other corporate strategists.

· Description
Santa Claus is in trouble.
His workshop at the North Pole has been cruising along for centuries, but Santa
now finds his customer base-the world's children-dwindling. He realizes that
changes are necessary but discovers that implementing them is another matter
altogether. Through trial and error, Santa learns that change is not about
modeling, restructuring, pay increases, or bellowing orders. It is about people
believing in change and wanting it to happen.
Lively and entertaining, Managing
Change in the Workplace takes the reader along the often bumpy path of
introducing an organization to change. Each chapter focuses on a different
aspect of change and concludes with a handy checklist to guide the reader
around the obstacles to change. Based on solid management principles, Managing
Change in the Workplace will have strong appeal for management consultants,
project managers, corporate trainers, and CEOs and other executives
implementing organization-wide initiatives.
