There are altogether 6 parts in this book. It provides clear and detailed instructions on how to surf the internet on iPhone and setting up of email accounts. From the book, I learnt that there are many useful applications that we can download and use. Some examples are using the camera on iPhone as a bar code scanner or using the iphone as a GPS tracking device. 

In short, I am not going to tell more details about this book so that you can borrow it and discover for yourself.

In part one and two of this book, the introduction covered on the topic  “Individual Behavior, Personality and Values”.  I really love to read these two parts as I have learnt some of my personality traits which help me to find out what kind of job is more suitable for me. Part three of this book is the most interesting as it guides us on how to improve our teamwork. Most of us (first year students) sometimes have hard time to work in a team as miscommunication, conflict or disagreements among team members may happen. I do feel a big improvement in my team after we have learnt this part.

The last part which is part four is about Organizational Processes. It helps us understand all the basic structure of organization and how culture play an important part of improving behavior of workers as well as maintaining the standard performance in organization.

I hope you would spend some times to read this book. It is really meaningful and interesting. Hope you enjoy it J

The first reason is the animated style. The characters crafted are refreshing. We can see people’s face expression very clearly. The storyline is the second reason. It has a few elements- time and love woven with science fiction. The love between the two lead characters – 17 year old Makoto and Chiaki is both heart-warming and touching.  Music is the last reason. The film has a fantastic music score that portray the mood of the movie aptly. The voice of the singer is special and moved people immediately. 

So pick this up at the DVD corner now at library south and enjoy the show!
