|

Excellent book. Although a bit older now, it has been in my library since origional publication, and I have re-read it several times. The secret to modern business, and a key to success, is to make sure that both parties at the table walk away with something they need. This applies to dealing with customers, suppliers, even within your own company. The old days of considering the party across the table... more

| 4. Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery | 
|
By: Rick Atkinson Publisher: National Geographic May 19, 2009
This book wonderfully depicts the type of people we should be talking about. It shows Arlington through the seasons, showing the beauty of such a hallowed place, it showed the care and compassion of the ordinary people who work there, and it showed the honor with which the military honors those who rest there. The most heartbreaking scenes are those showing family and friends saying goodbye. I wish... more

It is a great pharmacology textbook for introductory students. It goes in-depth enough for you to understand the mechanisms behind pharmacological processes. Most likely this review isn't necessary as this will be required for whatever class you are taking but if you are independently thinking about a pharmacology textbook, I would recommend this one. It comes with online material for further instruction... more

| 7. The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age | 
|
By: James Dale Davidson, William Rees-Mogg Publisher: Touchstone August 26, 1999
This is a very interesting book with disturbing implications: the authors contend that, in our lifetimes we will see the messy demise of nation states, with the most advanced of the Western democracies falling the farthest and hardest. The grim future they depict is essentially that of Stephenson's "Snow Crash" or Gibson's "Neuromancer".
In making their case, the authors draw an interesting... more

|
By: James Dale Davidson Publisher: Fireside January 10, 1994
With the sickening drop in the stock market the past September and October 2008 impelled me to reread this book. The prediction of the market crash in the 1990's appears to be off by a decade. Will the markets stabilize with the concerted help of world governments or will the market, and Western civilization, continue its death plunge to a watery grave? The authors give some good advice, but as always... more
