      5 out of 5 stars Very good book --- very thorough.......2003-12-01

      Whenever I ask experienced business people which are the best books to read for Incorporating, the name J.W. Dicks always comes up. I have purchased several books by Mr. Dicks and have been very satisfied with the results.

      Dicks is very thorough, is an Attorney as well as a entrepneneur. He is one who has done it, can teach it and has the legal background to boot.

      I highly recommend this or any book by J.W.Dicks.

      4 out of 5 stars Fine book for starts.......2000-04-03

      It's a good book for starts. This definitely clears a lot of concepts for a beginner entrepreneur. Of course, if you really need to go the big way, it's always best to consult a proper attorney. It is a good idea for this book as a quick reference on the desk of the entrepreneur.

        Book Description

        Whereas many recommend a paradigm change in order to cope with modern complexities, Caravantes and Bjur urge executives not to change their operating paradigms, but rather to become paradigm competent, that is, knowledgeable and competent in several ways of understanding and analyzing the working world. Four major paradigms are described: positive science, quantum physics, oriental mysticism, and existentialism.

        The authors recognize that executives often are obligated to make important choices despite insufficient data and the inability to predict future outcomes. Hunches that one action is to be preferred over others are examples of high-level managers making use of more-than-rational intuitions Â- defined as knowing without knowing how you know. The authors think of this as a kind of subconscious “magic” not taught or developed in the curricula of schools of management, where the emphasis is on technical rationality and technique. The authors emphasize the importance of subconscious perceptions in enabling an executiveÂ's access to infra-conscious, extra-rational, or “magic” capabilities, and discuss some modern techniques that can be used to enhance an executiveÂ's magic and charisma.

        Magic and Management is a fourth book co-authored by Bjur and Caravantes, until now published and marketed in Brazil. Their work is based on three decades of multi-cultural analysis and observation of management theory as it is practiced in many different countries. This work is designed for the experienced manager who desires to enhance personal knowledge and discover inherent, possibly hidden, abilities to excel in leadership.

        For food lovers, the next best thing to eating is reading about it. Best Food Writing 2001, compiled by Holly Hughes, offers these and other readers the year's most memorable food writing from books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and Web sites. Like its predecessor, Best Food Writing 2000, the book is a banquet--51 pieces on food in all its nutritional, gustatory, psychological, sociological, and, in short, personal glory. Dip into the book anywhere and enjoy, for example, Jeffrey Steingarten on bluefin tuna, Molly O'Neill discussing the glories of soup, William Grimes on comfort food, and Coleman Andrews on eating in Rome. Readers also journey to Paris (of course) in the form of Michael Lewis's wonderfully cranky paean to cassoulet (with recipe), and with John T. Edge in his search for the best Parisian Southern fried chicken (it exists); they also follow humorist Calvin Trillin as he seeks desperately for superior ceviche in Peru, Ecuador, and Queens, New York. Also included are excerpts from Ruth Reichl's bestselling Comfort Me with Apples and Patric Kuh's The Last Days of Haute Cuisine. There's more, of course, on topics as diverse as the agonies of dinner-party hosting, a chef's-eye view of dining out, and preparing perfect rice. Ideal for bedtime reading, the book also makes a great gift for fellow foodaholics who can't get enough of their favorite passion. --Arthur Boehm

        Really liked this book- Perfect for those who just enjoy reading cookbooks for relaxation or the journalist- which my husband was for 20 years and thought the writing was excellent!

        4 out of 5 stars Good Stuff Here.......2004-04-06

        This compilation of food writing is perfect for the foodie who doesn't have the time to sift through enormaous piles of literature to find a handful of good essays. Especially interesting was the article entitled "Josiah & the Giant Onion", describing America's pathetic passion for gigantic chain restaurants.

        4 out of 5 stars A pleasurable read.......2003-02-13

        A good selection of writing covering a wide variety of topics. Each story was a delectable mystery as to what was coming, because although the common theme is food, the topics varied considerably. All contributors are highly polished, professional writers, so the quality of the writing is excellent. It wa a great winter bedtime read, to be parceled out, one story a night.

        2 out of 5 stars Not the best.......2002-12-03

        I really liked the 2000 and 2001 versions of this series. Those anthologies had a more down to earth feel. This new 2002 edition seems to have more selections from food insiders who just come off as spoiled brats. My advice is to skip 2002. Maybe 2003 will be a better year for food essays.

          3 out of 5 stars Great lessons, lacking in style.......2002-07-06

          This book tracks the stories of some of the most successful investors in the history of Wall Street. It contains fundamental lessons and the anecdotes it contains are being repeated throughout the world today. Scandals, overly aggressive accounting, generous executive options, corporate greed, folly all have been well documented in this book and all are manifesting themselves today in the form of Anderson, Enron, Worldcom and so forth.

          I like this book because it focuses on fundamentals. The most successful investors invariably focus on value stocks and long term growth. They look for basics such as earnings and cash flows. They look behind the accounting numbers and are not bamboozled by glossy brochures or big name executives. A wise investor would not have been sucked up by the dot com hype. They would have seen the companies for what they were, overpriced flash-in-the-pans.

          Whilst this book contains many valuable lessons, the style was dry and at times difficult to get through. So, whilst the book is not an entertaining read, anyone interested in purchasing quality stocks should definitely have a look at this book.

          5 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Relevant.......2001-12-08

          Reading this reminded me that bad ecomonic news can create terrific opportunities in the market-- the moral of the story of the very first story, which talks about Benjamin Graham and his protoge Warren Buffett! It was eerie how similar the "Investors Beware" chapter about the CUC/HFS International debacle is to what's currently going on with Enron: "If the 'story' behind the stock seems too good to be true, it probably is." A great read -- the author truly seems to love and relish what he's talking about and I learned a ton that heartened my sagging investing confidence (and hopefully my sagging portfolio as well).

                5 out of 5 stars The Reagan Bible.......2007-06-08

                Out of all of the Reaganalia in print, this one is the Reagan Bible. If you are curious about what he thought, where he stood, or why every Republican candidate since 2004 has claimed his mantle, then get this book.

                All of the beloved speeches--which sometimes feel like motivational sermons, celebrations of the American Spirit--are here:

                * "The Speech" aka "A Time For Choosing" This is the speech for Barry Goldwater that launched Reagan's political career.
                * Selected radio addresses.
                * Both inaugural addresses, plus his farewell address.
                * "The Evil Empire" speech.
                * The D-Day/Rangers Monument Speeches.
                * The Challenger Speech.
                * The rededication of the Statue of Liberty.
                * The Q and A session at Moscow State University.
                * A selection of witty and wise quotes.

                This book's strength is that it was selected by the Gipper himself, so this is essentially "Reagan on Reagan," or what he thought was important. In this aspect, "Speaking My Mind" outstrips its only rival Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan That Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America. To be sure, I recommend both books, but the former has an edge over the latter.

                In addition to providing the key intellectual cornerstones of his though, I found this book helpful for establishing a Reagan chronology. Lou Cannon's quasi-official biographies Ronald Reagan: A Life in Politics has chapters that revolves around (and therefore emphasizes) Reagan's shortcomings. This book, on the other hand, highlights the high points of his life. Between the two, you get a depth perception that each one lacks. "By proving contraries, the truth is made manifest."

                Take this book, then, as the main standard work on both Reagan and Reaganism. In Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan, Edmund Morris passes Reagan off as an enigma. Not so!--he was an open book. Open this book, and see what I mean.

                5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2007-05-19

                This book is a selection of speeches that Ronald W. Reagan did since the fifties until he finished leadering the United States of America in 1989.
                Here you can see how America was in the eighties and the challenges that americans had to face.
                I think Ronald Reagan is one of the most importart people in the 20th century.

                Es una pena que no se dinponga de ninguna biografía ni de ninguna selección de discursos de Ronald Reagan en español.

                5 out of 5 stars From the man himself.......2006-06-06

                This is the first book dedicated specifically to Ronald Reagan I've read, and I'm glad it was one Mr. Reagan himself put together. I freely admit I admire Mr. Reagan very much for not only his political principles, but also his wit and his way with words.

                Here in "Speaking My Mind" we get to see how Mr. Reagan wants us to remember him. He is truly "The Great Communicator". The speeches he includes shows his sense of self-deprecating humor, his ability to good-naturedly rip his opponents to shreds, his compassion, and his unwavering dedication to conservative economic principles, not to mention democracy and individual liberty.

                Naturally such an autobiographical work may tend to be one-sided, but Mr. Reagan doesn't shy away from the politically devastating Iran-Contra scandal; He included his address to the American people taking responsibility for the wrongdoings of his administration.

                I recommend "Speaking My Mind" to those interested in learning about Ronald Reagan as only the man himself can teach.

                  Book Description

                  One man, more than any other, has helped define the most important issues of our time. His name is Ronald Reagan -- one of our nation's most powerful and popular Presidents. This extraordinary audio collection includes historical excerpts from selected addresses that span his political career, laying out his vision for America and the world. From his cornerstone 1964 speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater to his moving farewell address in January of 1989, here is President Reagan as we came to know him: the public figure, the political leader, the private man. Included are personal reflections from President Reagan recorded exclusively for this production -- in an audio presentation that captures the voice, the spirit, and the intellect of the greatest communicator America has ever known.

                  5 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best.......2007-01-12

                  Our daughter gave me this CD set for Christmas. I have been doing a lot of driving lately, and have been listening to the CDs exclusively when in the car.

                  It's odd that I waver back and forth between feeling incredibly uplifted by re-visiting ... through his own words and voice ... his faith, integrity, dignity, decency, character, intelligence, compassion and love of country. And yet, at the same time, I sometimes feel deeply depressed, occasionally to the point of tears, because we so desperately need someone of his caliber now, and yet the pool of 'leadership' from which we will choose the next leader of the free world is filled with pretenders whose credentials are on an entirely different, inferior plane.

                  The 'Reagan Legacy' can be seen in the absence of the Berlin wall; in the dissolution of the Soviet Union; in the feeling of dignity and pride that was pervasive in our republic during his tenure in office; in the might, capability, effectiveness, and freedom-preserving focus of the American military, which was the unflinching standard during his watch; in the unparalleled sense of economic well-being that permeated the 80's; in the resurrected life that was breathed into entrepreneurial enterprise as a result of his low-tax/hands-off economic policies; and, perhaps most importantly, in the love and esteem with which those of us who followed his leadership held him. He was an unparalleled American treasure.

                  We have so unappreciatively squandered his accomplishments and betrayed his example. I pray that we awaken to that folly before the light from the Reagan legacy becomes too dim to rekindle.

                  Listening to his own thoughts, spoken in his own voice, brings that fact home in a very powerful way.

                  5 out of 5 stars THE GREAT LIBERATOR SPEAKS.......2004-12-27


                  In the introduction, President Reagan expresses the wish that these speeches would give the listener insight into himself as a president and a person: who he was, where he came from and what he believed. The speeches are not about policies and do not include any state of the union addresses. Almost every speech is introduced by Reagan with his reflections on the times and the issues, with his customary wit and humour.

                  My only complaint about the CD-set is the absence of a booklet with a proper track listing. The speeches are listed on the 5 discs but in a tiny font size so that one needs a magnifying glass in order to read them.

                  The first speech, from October 1964, in support of Barry Goldwater's candidacy, is particularly stirring. The sound is a bit crackly here but that only adds to the magic of this momentous speech. All the others are from the White House years. Here are the most memorable ones:

                  1981
                  Swearing-in ceremony/Inaugural address/Address to the nation on the state of the economy. Reagan was the first president to use a prop on TV - in this case a coin to demonstrate the effect of inflation/Address on the air traffic controllers strike, quite a powerful one.

                  1982
                  Magnificent address to the UK parliament on the values of the West and our historic role in the defence of freedom/Inauguration of the USS New Jersey/The national prayer breakfast, on spiritual renewal/Christmas day radio address.

                  1983
                  On the struggle for democracy in Central America/On the massacre of the marines in Lebanon/The magnificent Evil Empire speech/Martin Luther King Day.

                  1984
                  Hoboken, New Jersey election speech, to enthusiastic audience.
                  Republican Convention Acceptance speech, also to enthusiastic audience/40th Anniversary of the Normandy invasion, a very stirring and uplifting one.

                  1985
                  On SDI (the Space Shield) to the political action conference.
                  On the upcoming Geneva summit meeting with Gorbachev.

                  1986
                  Memorial service for the Challenger dead/On the Reykjavik summit/Centennial ceremony for the Statue of Liberty/Tax reform act of 1986, a breakthrough for economic growth and prosperity/Washington dinner honouring Tipp O'Neill, showing how gracefully Reagan acted towards his political opponents.

                  1987
                  Momentous speech at Brandenburg gate in Berlin on June 12th, 1987: "Tear down this wall!"/Speech honouring the heroism of ordinary people.

                  1988
                  Veterans Day Ceremony: Reagan restored the dignity and honour of Vietnam vets/Republican National Convention tribute to Nancy Reagan for her campaign against drug abuse. The last address to White House correspondents' annual dinner/Campaign speech for George H Bush in San Diego.
                  Farewell speech on January 11th, 1989.

                  Upon his death in 2004, the most moving tribute to Ronald Reagan appeared on the Belmont Club Blog, in the form of an old poem by Thomas Macaulay:

                  " When the oldest cask is opened,
                  And the largest lamp is lit;
                  When the chestnuts glow in the embers,
                  And the kid turns on the spit;
                  When young and old in circle
                  Around the firebrands close;
                  When the girls are weaving baskets,
                  And the lads are shaping bows;
                  When the goodman mends his armour,
                  And trims his helmet's plume;
                  When the goodwife's shuttle merrily
                  Goes flashing through the loom;
                  With weeping and with laughter
                  Still is the story told,
                  How well Horatius kept the bridge
                  In the brave days of old."

                  5 out of 5 stars Reagan Freed the Slaves of Communist Tyrannies.......2004-09-25

                  Reading this in 1990 brought the 1980s into focus.

                  I will never forget the day after the Berlin Wall came down looking around at all the happy, relieved faces in the diner in downtown Chicago (and that town is a Democrat stronghold!).

                  And then the rapid, unexpected collapse of Soviet satellite slave states! It was not overnight but I later realized, REAGAN WAS RIGHT, AND I WAS WRONG IN THE 1980s!!!

                  Through the 1980s I was indifferent to Reagan. I would come home from work, watch the evening network news and believe everything the anchors and reporters suggest about Reagan. What I did not realize is that the dominant media wanted people like me to be hostile to Reagan. I never voted period.

                  I believed Reagan was a shallow actor who got lucky and just hung around rich Republicans.

                  The Robert Bork hearings were disturbing but I could not articulate why.

                  After watching the 1988 Republican convention, seeing that so many people appreciated America and Reagan and that conservatives were not the demons that I had believed, I decided for sure that I would not register as a Democrat, and slowly but surely steered away from liberalism.

                  The high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas persuaded me further of the fanaticism of modern liberalism.

                  And that Democrats nominated Clinton, a McGovernite liberal posing as a centrist and trashing the "trickle-down economics" of Reagan. That was the last straw.

                  The New York Times had a smug, sneering piece about Rush Limbaugh in 1992. I finally later read and listened to Rush Limbaugh. I thought gradually, essentially RUSH IS RIGHT!

                  In 1992 I registered Republican for the first time and voted for George H. W. Bush. FREE FROM LIBERALISM AT LAST!!!

                  5 out of 5 stars One for the history books.......2003-08-02

                  What better way to remember the Reagan legacy than by listening to Reagan's best speeches.

                  5 out of 5 stars Remembering The Great Communicator.......2002-12-26

                  Reagan was a great President simply from the perspective of his innate leadership ability and masterful skill as an orator. This collection of speeches is quite compelling and an excellent reference for admirers of the honorable Ronald Reagan. I also recommend Reagan In His Own Hand, which is a little more focused on the pre-Presidential Reagan during his stint as a private citizen and Governor of California.

                      At Liane's gentle lead, the reader will come away knowing that an autism diagnosis does not have to cast a beloved child's fate forever into darkness. Nonverbal does not have to mean unable to communicate.

                      5 out of 5 stars Bravo, Ms. Skye!.......2003-02-10

                      If you know of anyone who has been affected by an Autistic Spectrum Condition, regardless of his/her ability to verbally communicate, this book should be in your collection. Ms. Skye takes us on her and her son's suspenseful, winding journey through autism's silence toward her son's dynamic breakthrough with the use of PECS.

                      In reading this book, you will find yourself laughing, crying, and shouting aloud: "Go David, go!" Thank you, Ms. Skye, for providing a powerful, no-holds-barred documentary of your family's triumph over the most confining aspect of Autism.

                      5 out of 5 stars The Best Book!!!.......2003-02-04

                      Anyone with a child with autism or knows of someone must read this book. I've read many many books on Autism and this by far is the best one yet. It is so real and true. The writer's/mom's emotions come alive in this book. Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. I ended up reading it till the end! You really feel like you know this family after reading their story. It goes through their many failures with different therapies and programs all the way to the one thing that truely worked, PECS. I highly recommend this book! I can't say enough positive things about it!!

                      5 out of 5 stars AWESOME, INCREDIBLE BOOK!!.......2002-12-23

                      Liane Gentry Skye has written a book that is so honest and straightforward, giving both the intense joy and the intense sorrow that often accompanies parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum, that I felt as if I were sitting across the table enjoying a cup of coffee while she recounted their journey out of Autism's silence.
                      This book is a must read for any parent or family member facing the Journey of Autism. Your child does not have to be non-verbal for this book's honesty and joy to touch your heart in a very special way.
                      I hope this book expands the use of PECS in the same way that Catherine Maurice's book expanded the use of ABA a few years ago.
                      What a wonderful blessing to our children!

                      5 out of 5 stars A MUST READ.......2002-12-13

                      As i read this book, i felt as though i was reading about myself and my son. Liane Gentry Skye has written one of the most heartfelt and compelling books i have read, with the turn of each page you can feel the power of her love for her son. This book is a must read for parent's, grandparent's, anyone who is facing the difficult decisions about what form of treatment to use with their child. Liane & David's journey makes you laugh and cry and cheer at his accomplishments.

                      5 out of 5 stars I laughed, I cried, I lauged while I cried.......2002-12-02

                      I think every parent with a child on the spectrum will hold Gentry's hand through this journey, sometimes painful, sometimes magical. It the journey of a brave woman who refused to give up on her child when everyone else did. It is a must read for every parent being coerced into ABA by a school district, when they know that is not *the thing* for their child. There are choices with autism. PECS can work wonders too. Read this book and walk away with hope.
