Book Description
This handbook, written by a Russian-born consultant in international trade, offers the business person expert guidance through the intricacies of Soviet foreign trade and presents sample documents, forms, and other materials necessary for embarking on commercial negotiations with the Russians. To help the Western business person understand the environment in which Soviet trade takes place, Knight begins with an outline of economic and political conditions in Russia today, with particular emphasis on how Russians do business at home and abroad. Among the topics considered are the organization of foreign trade, the general business outlook and prospects in specific export areas, industrial cooperation, trade fairs and exhibitions, the process of setting up an office in the U.S.S.R., U.S. trade regulations, and Soviet customs regulations. The remainder of the book gives detailed guidance on the procedures, protocols, strategies, and cultural nuances that the foreign business person will encounter in commercial negotiations with the Soviets.

Customer Reviews:
Louder Than Thunder : A Contemporary Business Parable.......2005-09-13
"Louder Than Thunder" is a provocative, contemporary business parable about a CEO who calls a meeting of her three vice-presidents, one of whom will succeed her. The one who best answers the question, "What is louder than thunder, as highly charged as lightning, and more powerful than the fierce North Wind?" will succeed her as CEO.
The book is really a lesson in effective organizational and interpersonal communication. Featured are: observe and listen; consider the setting; have achievable goals if relevant; hear the other person out; think before you speak--or don't speak.
Illustrations range from manufacturing to marketing and make clear that most often the job is a prime factor in how people answer the riddle.
The point of this engaging, 100-page parable highlighted by nine artistic illustrations by Helen Gotlib is that we can all improve our communication behavior, on and off the job. The lessons are basic and valuable for all who will read this forthright, yet sensitive and self-instructing book.
R. S. Ross, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Communication

Play "David Bowie!".......2000-06-27
Yo, Phish! play "David Bowie!" Then play "Meatstick! " Oh wait, this isn't a Phish concert. Sorry.
*NOT* Shameless Cross Marketing.......1999-12-03
When I learned of this book, I too was intrigued about its relationship to the rock band Phish. However, I contacted the author and found out that he wrote the book before he had ever even heard of the band. So it's not fair to characterize it as "shameless" - it's simple coincidence.
Shameless Cross Marketing.......1999-07-27
I was unfortunate enough to have purchased this book online as a result of an open text search for Phish. As a financial analyst by trade, I believed an analysis of the accounting practices within the Phish corporation would be somewhat interesting. Sadly enough, this book has been titled to mislead would-be book buyers. The Phish Corporation described in this book appears to be a fictional company that manufactures tackle boxes. There is no mention made of the band Phish. Caveat emptor

Customer Reviews:
Best New Writing Book of the Year.......2007-10-17
Every writing teacher needs this book. One of the best I've found. Already teaching from it. Plus, The Nieman Foundation Website offers more useful writing & teaching tools than most fee-based services. Should be required reading for all creative nonfiction and journalism undergrad and grad students.
Essential reading for serious writers.......2007-06-02
"Telling True Stories" belongs on every serious writer's bookshelf. Including insights from many of the luminaries in the narrative non-fiction world, it is not only an essential read for someone working in this field, but a lively and inspiring one as well. Highly recommended!
A rookie reporter appreciates guide to better story telling.......2007-05-08
"Telling True Stories" is 91 outstanding essays on what narrative nonfiction reporting and writing are and how to do both better. The book, described as "a nonfiction writers' guide," features many award winning reporters, editors and teachers who have presented during Nieman Conferences on Narrative Journalism and include Walt Harrington, Jack Hart, Tom French, Tom Hallman and John Franklin. The title could just as easily been "Telling True Stories Compellingly" for these essayists and others clearly describe how fact-based narratives, when employing the story-telling techniques described in detail, can produce truly memorable newspaper pieces, magazine articles and books. As a rookie newspaper reporter very interested in writing stories that will be read, this book is worth at least double the price - maybe triple.
Wonderful resource for a professional speechwriter.......2007-03-21
People love stories. I'm a professional speechwriter working in a large High Tech company. The essays in this book are a wonderful inspiration. I'm always looking for ways to move executive communications beyond PowerPoint slides and boring datapoints. Stories are a key way of engaging an audience. This book shows how the best stories are researched and reported; constructed; edited and published.
Example: Jack Hart's distinction between Summary and Narrative (p. 112) lists how the story emphasizes concrete detail (over the abstract); employs dialog; a specific point of view and occurs lower on the level of abstraction. These are all important points to remember when reviewing a speech or presentation for audience appeal.
Learn the elements of good storytelling.......2007-03-06
Want to write true stories that will still be readable five, 10, 20, 50 years from now? Ever talk to someone who told you something that touched your heart, whether it's an experience they had or just a good yarn that you'll think about long after the conversation's over?
These are the kinds of stories this book will show you how to write. The authors won't tell you exactly. That's a path you'll have to find out for yourself. But they'll give you guides, practical tips to learn how to talk and write like you're having a conversation with a reader who wants to know more about your story.
As a working journalist for a mid-sized newspaper in Southwest Virginia, I've read countless of books discussing the techniques of narrative writing. This one ranks high above them. Many of the authors break down the elements of telling good stories. For example, listen to Susan Orlean talk about having voice in your stories: "You can't invent a voice. And you can't imitate someone else's voice, though trying to can be a good exercise. It can lead you to begin to understand the mechanisms that convey the voice. Read your stories out loud so you can hear how you tell stories. As you read, ask yourself: Does it sound real? Would I have said it that way?"
The editors of the book offer nice introductions to each section and tell you who you'll be reading in the next few pages. It reminds me of a book by Stanley Cavell called "Cities of Words," which is presented as a series of lectures in a classroom.
The way this book is put together is similar. It reads like you're in class waiting for a lecture from folks such as Tom Wolfe, Susan Orlean, Tracy Kidder and others. There is no shortage of ideas, approaches to reporting and writing stories and you can't help but think how you would have tackled a famed writer's story if you were in their position. (Probably, not very well. But better, I'm assuming, than those who don't read this book.)
Writing true stories is not the easiest way to spend your time. It can get very frustrating and confusing. That's why this book is important. It has given me a new perspective on how to approach these kinds of stories and that's why I recommend it.

Book Description
An inherent tension resides in the Fourth Amendment's strictures on unreasonable searches and seizures. We want it to protect our privacy from government intrusion, yet we want the police to do whatever is required to solve crime. Greater controls on the power of the police provide more privacy protections to citizens. Reduced controls on police actions provide less privacy protection to citizens. Bloom explores this tension as he guides the reader to through the history and relevant Supreme Court decisions that have shaped the current state of Fourth Amendment law.

What every American should know about their rights...a must read.......2007-04-19
I just finished reading Camille Abate's "Know your Rights: Every American's Guide to Dealing with Law Enforcement". I am a middle aged college graduate with good experience and pride myself in also being a member of the informed public. I read a lot, I majored in History and Political Science in college, and I was stunned what I learned from this great book. Camille Abate puts forth in very easy to understand scenarios a clear representation of what role the police, the prosecutor and the government have without being disrespectful to any of them. Put simply, this book reminds and educates us that one of our most hallowed and sacred rights are the rights promised to us in the Constitiution. Know your Miranda rights, know how to act if a search warrant is drawn against you, know that you cannot be isolated for long periods of time to get a confession from you. Know when you may be prejudicing yourself without even knowing it. But most importantly know your rights, invoke your right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. By using clever short dialogues Mrs. Abate makes a clear sense for the reader that knowledge is power. I really liked the historical quotes she uses of the founding fathers and writers as diverse as Thomas Paine and even Voltaire. I highly suggest this book to anyone from a student to even a seasoned professional. Let's face it, you cannot get your legal knowledge from just watching Boston Legal or reruns of Hawaii 5-0! And remember this, in this Post 9/11 world with serious erosion of your civil rights, the duties of citizens to be good citizens is through knowledge. The constitution is not just a piece of paper in Washington. It was written by our forefathers to make our life safe from encroachment, so true liberty and safety flourishes for us all.
A Must-Have for Every American Citizen. Know & Protect your Constitutional Rights.......2007-04-19
We live in interesting times. Our government, in the name of fighting the so-called war on terror, has quietly whittled away at the basic rights given persons by the US Constitution.
Camille M. Abate has put together an easy-to-read book that every American (no matter what your political opinion is) should own, read and re-read.
It is written in plain English. Each chapter starts with a thought-provoking quote. It does not have a hidden agenda. It can help citizens be more law abidding.
I read it over lunch.
I learned about how to exercise my rights even though I thought I knew how.
Ms. Abate is not in favor of law breakers such as people who drink & drive. But she is concerned about law enforcement officials who may take advantage of people who have done nothing wrong but may not know their rights.
It is a great book to give to family and friends especially younger people in high school or college who are just getting out in the world.
The Unitied States of America is a great country in which to live.
Ms. Abate's book will give any American citizen or resident alien the tools they can use when and if they have to deal with law enforcement officials.
So much valuable information in such a little book!.......2007-04-15
After reading this book, I realized how important it is to be knowledgeable and prepared BEFORE ever being approached by law enforcement officers. The author really knows her stuff. I bought 10 copies - for myself, my kids, my niece and nephew, and friends. I'm going to keep my copy in the glove compartment of my car!
I needed this..........2007-04-13
and so did my son, and so will my future grandchild. The new police state has practically ruined my teen's teenage years. I bought this book, and will see that at least 5 others in my police state do, too.Hey y'all, this woman knows her stuff.Color me madashellhanlonintexas.
