                  Book Description

                  Management: Ideas and Actions is an integrative book covering essential concepts of management theory. The book illustrates that there are recurring themes in the field which transcend both time and fashion; and demonstrates the continuing usefulness of concepts and prescriptions resulting from these themes by presenting case examples from modern organizations and experiences of individual managers. The author believes that we seriously hinder future managers by not sharing the wisdom that has emerged over more than a century.

                          5 out of 5 stars The Best Ever Book for Vegans and Vegetarians.......2000-02-08

                          "Bum Steers" is a complete guide to making your own "false meat". Using healthy alternatives to meat, this book tackles issues that vegans and vegetarians are often faced with. Such issues include ways to save money, stay healthy, and "excite your palate". I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it's pages contain realistic recipes- the ingredients of which are mostly found right in your pantry. This is contrary to most books of this nature which often cater to people that can afford all kinds of expensive ingredients. Highly recomended.

                              I have a library of over 250 trading books. I couldn't see what Al Thomas could contribute. I found out! He covers all aspects of trading with a no nonsense approach based on real world experience, not theory. If you are a new trader, buy the book and read it at least twice. If you are an experienced trader, buy the book and do the same!

                              5 out of 5 stars A Grand Slam.......2007-10-01

                              If you want to make money in the market, here is the book you've been looking for. The Holy Grail. Al Thomas speaks the truth and presents a simple, no nonsense approach to successful investing. If you are an investor and do nothing else for yourself this year, read chapter one and rejoice.

                              I bought Al's book about 8 years ago, and have been following it ever since. I heeded his advice, and fired my broker. My broker was only looking out for his interests, and making him money. I wanted to be more in control of my money. Also, I subscribe to Al's email newsletter, and get the best and most recent advice from it. He lets you know what is going on in the market with a no holds barred attitude, which I appreciate. I have made much more money with mutual funds since reading the book. I suggest you buy the book, sign up for his emails, and get started making money nowe!

                              Unlike Jim Cramer's books, there is no nonsense in Al Thomas's "If it Dosent go up, Don't buy it" book. Good defensive advice that we should adhere to, because we novice investors should not try to compete against the professionals, hedge funds, and large institutions.

                                Book Description

                                This book is for the regular "foot soldier" slogging their way… sometimes fitfully… to the top of the business heap. It's for every success-minded employee who has (or will have) more than their share of unusual encounters along their way.

                                It's about Two-Fingered Tony, the Mafioso of the aluminum industry; Sleepy Joe, the recruiter who fell asleep while interviewing applicants; and a host of other oddballs. True stories all. Short and punchy. To the point. Serious stuff, yes. But handled in a humorous way, because business is the stuff of pure comedy.

                                This book is dedicated to everyone who's striving to get ahead in today's tough business climate, a climate fractured by companies such as Enron and WorldCom.

                                This book will help you advance your career in an environment inundated with unworkable and useless conventional wisdom. After reading "Aw, Shucks" you'll avoid a whole lot of grief during your personal corporate journey.

                                Before the author retired, he was a company president who worked his way up from line supervisor, so he knows what he's talking about.

                                Read this book and avoid being the one saying, "Aw Sucks, I Screwed Up Again…."

                                  5 out of 5 stars Best Small Book on Ronald Reagan.......2007-10-08

                                  John Barletta, through his insight and understanding, with a rock-solid foundation of character and integrity, has connected with President Reagan as few others ever have. Reagan's inner-core and genuine goodness, plus our personal contact with him and the guidelines and special bonds we forged with this uncommon man were granted to a few of us who were privileged to spend those rare moments at his side while his core values transferred, as if by osmosis, to our minds and our hearts.

                                  Barletta's view and understanding of Reagan is exceptional and true. His pleasant,easy-to-read, conversational style of writing is reader-friendly and gives the reader a "you are there" "eyewitness" feeling. The author had to come away from each experience with RR feeling more and more as if he were part of Reagan's extended family; an almost brotherly connection for the two of them.

                                  It sure did for a few of us who were there at the beginning of RR's political career, like Edwin Meese III, Wm.P. Clark, Lyn Nofziger and Tom Reed.
                                  What a pleasure NOT having to wade though pages of footnotes and notes to get to the meaning of this remarkable book. Not necessary when the author is intimately aware of his subject, as Barletta is. No nonsense, fabrications or embellishments in this book; just the facts--- beautifully explained. Thanks! Curtis Patrick, author, REAGAN: WHAT WAS HE REALLY LIKE?

                                  5 out of 5 stars Not a RR fan, but knew him better after the read.......2007-05-15

                                  I had personal reason to buy this after seeing the author on C-span Book TV since I knew people close to one of those mentioned in the book. Can't say who or how it got to her, but after reading it got a nod and wink. Think you'll do the same.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Inside Look.......2007-05-14

                                  Barietta lets us into the inner circle outside Reagan's 'kitchen cabinet'. He paints a picture of Reagan that allows one to understand the essence of the man; his connection with the individual, and as such, the people. The author's allegiance to the President does not cloud the reality of the relationship between these two men. Despite the professional connection, Reagan had a way, I summize, to bridge that barrier and maintain a bond that is clear through the author's typewritten words.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Please Get This Man An Editor!.......2006-04-03

                                  While I have included this book in my collection of Ronald Reagan books, and enjoyed the stories and photos of President Reagan's life at the ranch, the book is often clumsily written, and needed a strong editor's hand.

                                  There are numerous mistakes that should have been corrected in the proof stage. Just for example, Mr. Barletta repeatedly spells the name of Margaret Thatcher's husband as "Dennis" rather than the correct "Denis". He refers to a White House state dinner at which (a long-happily married) Tom Lasorda is accompanied by his "date" Angie Dickinson. He describes the Reagans' friends Alfred and Betsy Bloomingdale as the "founders of the famed department store", when the store was founded in 1872 by Alfred's grandfather -- Alfed Bloomingdale is actually known as the "founder" of the Diner's Club card. Barletta refers to Maureen Reagan's "parents" in discussing Nancy Reagan (on Page 183) such that it appears he thinks Nancy was Maureen's mother! He says (on Page 101) that "after Reagan left office" Barletta commissioned an artist to paint a portrait of he and Reagan riding, "which he completed in June 1988". Since Reagan didn't leave office until January 1989, this does not make sense, and it's the kind of mistake which any competent proofreader would have caught. Finally, there are several quotes in the earlier part of the book (less so in the later sections) in which the language is stilted and unnatural.

                                  Nevertheless, people interested in details of Reagan's private life during and after his presidency will enjoy the book.

                                  5 out of 5 stars The Gipper Would Be Proud!.......2006-03-14

                                  I loved this book! It's such an interesting and different book about Ronald Reagan. Instead of politics, it's the recollections from his friend and secret service agent. I learned so much about horses and the secret service that I could not put this book down. It was nice to read about Reagan the man instead of Reagan the president. And it's always nice to read the insights from someone who was really there. I can picture Reagan riding his horse on his ranch thanks to the vivid descriptions in this book. I also learned a lot about the character of John Barletta. It's easy to see why Ronald and Nancy liked him so much. He's quite a guy. The story gets very sad at the end but I'm so proud to have this book in my collection. Also, I was glad that John was blunt and honest about Ron, Jr. and Patti. Those two have been speaking up a lot lately, but as is said in the book, they rarely visited their father when he was in good health. I wish I could have met Ronald Reagan. Thanks to this book, I feel like I know him.

                                    Only Theo's grandmother sees the truth about the boy: He's as spoiled as a rotten old apple!

                                    That is why, on one of Theo's naughtiest, grabbiest, mouthiest days, Grandmother decides to bake him a pie.

                                    Young Theo has never seen the like. Its crust is as big as a bedsheet; its filling of plums, cherries, peaches, pears, apples, and quince is as tempting as any sweet feast ever set before a boy. But when he greedily reaches out for a taste, little Theo bites off a lot more than he can chew!

                                    Jennifer Donnelly's wise and funny tale has inspired pictures of modern-day wit and medieval charm from a master of artistic antics, Stephen Gammell.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A charming tale, beautifully illustrated!.......2002-10-19

                                    A winning combination - a marvelous, imaginative, and funny story that teaches a lesson, together with stunning illustrations. A wonderful book to read aloud with your children or grandchildren on your lap. They'll want to hear it again and again. A fun read for adults, too!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Once in a great while, a book like this comes along..........2002-09-15

                                    A truly imaginative and enchanting tale. Great fun to read aloud and linger over the illustrations. You can't go wrong with a great story matched by amazing illustrations with a little sprinkle of morality. This is one of the classics that children will remember for a long time to come, as I remember Dr. Seuss and Where the Wild Things Are.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Let them eat Humble Pie!.......2002-09-04

                                    This book is a rarity: a story with a moral that's fun (and funny!) for 21st century kids and their parents to read over and over again. Wonderful pictures, too -- the great Stephen Gammell's best. And you know what? I think it really works! I'll be darned if my own little Theos (...) aren't just little more considerate since they got a taste of Humble Pie!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Timeless.......2002-08-25

                                    The kind of fairytale they rarely make anymore, but should. A hilarious and engaging story beautifully illustrated. Great fun for kids and the adults who read to them. This is a book that will be still be a favorite twenty years from now.

                                    This will be a classic... Fabulous story married to fabulous illustrations --- Great fun to read (Also for adults) --- hopefully there will be more to come from this terrific team...

                                          Book Description

                                          A Humble Tale is not only about Earle and his battle with alcohol but it also includes speeches by other alcoholics. There is a wealth of stories about Twelve Step calls that are absolutely necessary according to AA co-founder Bill W. in his Big Book, the text of AA.

                                          A Humble Tale concludes with concern about today's AA that doesn't follow the Big Book.
