Are you ready to take the SAT? It's hard to know--both the ETS (the folks who administer the test) and the big test-prep schools want you to think it's practically impossible to improve your scores by just sitting down with a book and learning a few tricks. The Unofficial Guide to the SAT offers an alternative, promising no bias and presenting a wide range of methods to get those extra points on your transcript and maybe even help you get accepted into your first-choice college. You'll find it well organized and refreshingly readable, from the introductory self-test and study planner to the closing appendices covering words and math concepts most frequently used by test writers. In between, there's tons of advice on how to pace yourself, read questions and answers, and skip questions when appropriate. It might not be obvious to you that "the obvious connection is usually the right one" in analogies, but you'll learn this and hundreds of other tricks from people who have pulled the tests apart and have nothing to lose from divulging their secrets. Peppered with plenty of actual SAT questions, including the obligatory full-length test, this is one test-prep book that has it all. Irreverent and insightful, The Unofficial Guide to the SAT is a surefire confidence-builder for all college-bound teens. --Rob Lightner

HR Professional's guide to creating a strategically sustainable organization Employees are central to creating sustainable organizations, yet they are left on the sidelines in most sustainability initiatives along with the HR professionals who should be helping to engage and energize them. This book shows business leaders and HR professionals how to: motivate employees to create economic, environmental and social value; facilitate necessary culture, strategic and organizational change; embed sustainability into the employee lifecycle; and strengthen existing capabilities and develop new ones necessary to support the transformation to sustainability. Talent, Transformation, and the Triple Bottom Line also demonstrates how leading companies are using sustainability to strengthen core HR functions: to win the war for talent, to motivate and empower employees, to increase productivity, and to enliven traditional HR-related efforts such as diversity, health and wellness, community involvement and volunteerism. In combination, these powerful benefits can help drive business growth, performance, and results. <ul>
<li>The book offers strategies, policies, tools and specific action steps that business leaders and HR professionals can use to get into the sustainability game or enhance their efforts dramatically</li> <li>Andrew Savitz is an expert in sustainability and has worked extensively with many organizations on sustainability strategy and implementation; he and Karl Weber wrote The Triple Bottom Line, one of the most successful books in the field</li> <li>Published in partnership with SHRM and with the cooperation of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development</li> <li>Forward by Edward Lawler III</li> </ul>
This book fills a gaping hole in both the HR and sustainability literature by educating HR professionals about sustainability, sustainability professionals about HR, and business leaders about how to marry the two to accelerate progress on both fronts.

Food, Inc. is d to shake up our perceptions of what we eat. This powerful documentary deconstructing the corporate food industry in America was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as ''more than a terrific movie - it's an important movie.'' Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably? Expanding on the film's themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world.
