From an email I just received from SME, "Here’s an astounding fact — people who read business books make more money—a lot more! (Even in tough economic times.) According to a number of recent studies, business people who read at least seven business books a year earn over 2.3 times more than those who read only one book per year."
One reason, according to SME, is they have a constant flow of new ideas and strategies they can use to help their careers, their teams and their companies.
After that great start, the message goes on to say that no one has time to read, so SME teamed with a company to offer summaries. Much as I like SME, somehow that sounds like trying to pass your literature course reading Cliff Notes (or whatever they use these days).

How about using the best of the written word along with the best of the Web? The book "Advanced Control Foundation–Tools, Techniques, and Applications" co-authored by Willy Wojsznis, Mark Nixon and Terry Blevins will be introduced for sale at ISA Automation week Sept 25th and will be on display and available for purchase in the ISA booth at Emerson Exchange 2012. This is the second book is a series of "Foundation" books we have written. The first book in the series "Control Loops Foundation" co-authored by Nixon and Blevins received the Raymond D. Molloy Award for being the bestselling book published by ISA in 2010.
One of the unique features of the book is that there is a与书相关的网站。在此网站上，在“研讨会解决方案”选项卡下的网站上是YouTube视频，这些视频显示了本书中包含的研讨会的解决方案。网站上没有任何限制，因此任何人都可以访问本书的网站并使用其网络浏览器查看解决方案视频。该书被编写为非商业，适用于任何控制系统。
Blevins告诉我，这本书适合任何人。它具有基本的控制知识，但对于那些可能没有时间探索高级控制的人。每个章的第一部分都显示了如何使用技术。对于那些希望深入研究的人，第二部分会深入研究概念背后的数学。重要的是，一章重点介绍了对高级控制的经济理由。正如Blevins所说，“希望工程师可以学会与管理层进行交流。”阿们。
The last chapter shows integration of advanced control and users' present DCS system. It's a "what if" there is no native APC. Engineers will then have to layer it over. Written primarily by Nixon, Blevins says, "What we’ve learned the hard way we’ve put in to help readers."
查看ISA Web Site on the book购买副本。下周我将在ISA自动化周排队。到时候那里见。
