Great Introduction to Internet Businesses for Newcomers.......2000-06-10
If you had a one person business and wanted to start selling on-line, you could use this book to organize your efforts and become more successful. It has a good step-by-step approach that will take you where you need to go. When I was starting up on the Web four years ago with our business, this book could have saved me a lot of mistakes, lost time, and wasted money.
On the other hand, if you are already a heavy Web user and know what you like, you are beyond most of the advice in this book. At the same time, I found myself getting good ideas that I might not otherwise have gotten for my business as I read the book. That doesn't happen for me with a lot of the Internet books I read. So, you might want to skim it even if you think you are in pretty good shape.
The book's main weakness for beginners is that it states some hard-to-execute principles without a lot to help you do them. For example, you are encouraged to think out of the box (differently than you think now). This is hard for anyone to do, and there isn't a lot of support for how to do that.
There is only one reference to IBM's services in the book, and that is handled in an even-handed and low-key way. You are told to get some help in this area, and IBM is mentioned as one possible source. I thought this was well handled.
Good luck with creating your Internet-based irresistible growth enterpise!

A very fresh approach to soup-making.......2000-02-15
There is nothing in the book that isn't a photograph or recipe, yet I still think of it more as a COOKBOOK than a recipe book -- after you've made a few of the soups, you'll find yourself absorbing and adopting the common philosophy behind all these recipes. Even the photographs suggest new ways of making and serving soup.
I hardly need the actual book any more -- I just head off to the produce section and grab whatever is freshest and most appealing.
Favourite recipes? Out of the 60-odd here, I haven't found a dud yet.

Best Value for Global Figures.......2001-09-10
This is the best value for having global figures handy, and is one tenth the cost of the other great reference work, the Fitzroy Dearborn Book of World Rankings. Perhaps even more to the point, this book has something the other one does not: country by country data (although one could always go to the CIA World Factbook online for similar data as well as biographic listings). Having said that, it does not have the full range of detail that is offered by the other, such as domestic water shortages and energy consumption. This book has Internet and music charts--but none of the charts are comprehensive, generally listing top and bottom countries, not all countries. Bottom line: this is the best value for a portable book about global figures relevant to political economy.

Terry Sanford: Politics, Progress, and Outrageous Ambitions
Howard E. Covington Jr. Manufacturer: Duke University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0822323567 |
Book Description
Terry Sanford (1917–1998) was one of the most important public figures of the postwar South. First as North Carolina’s governor and later as president of Duke University, he demonstrated a dynamic style of progressive leadership marked by compassion and creativity. This book tells the story of Sanford’s beginnings, his political aspirations, his experiences in office, and, of course, his numerous accomplishments in the context of a period of revolutionary change in the South.Customer Reviews:

Tarheel Required Reading.......2002-06-18

Well-researched, insightful, and inspiring........1999-10-08
Covington and Ellis' biography of Sanford offers a great deal of insight into Sanford's formative years and his political career. The authors researched their subject thoroughly, and the reader gains a great deal of insight into North Carolina politics and into the historical forces shaping the country.
Many of Sanford's colleagues, family, and friends were interviewed for this book, and their stories and perspectives add depth to this book. Many of the characters in the book are still active in North Carolina politics, including "Jimmy Hunt" (as he is referred to in the book) who now serves as Governor of North Carolina.
People who still believe that our government can be a force for good, and that a political life can be synonomous with a life of public service, will be inspired by this book and by the life of this outstanding public servant.

Unscored upon
Taylor Penn Manufacturer: PublishAmerica ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1413706363 |
Book Description
Racism was not supposed to be part of a white boy's life growing up in Michigan in the 1950's and early 1960's. Slavery was in the past, and segregation was supposedly in the South. Moving to Cincinnati with his family in 1961, the author found himself on an integrated football team which was challenged to go through its season undefeated and unscored upon. He found himself straddling two social worlds separated by race and was witness to a love triangle which threatened to penetrate the barrier between black males and white females. Carla, a young Jewish girl, was infatuated with Terry, a roguish white boy who would certainly corrupt her. His competition was an incorruptible young man named Michael, but Michael was black. This is a story about a team trying to protect its end zone from violation, about a young black man trying to rescue a white girl from violation, and about a group of young people violating the segregationist rules that existed in the North.Customer Reviews:

Behavioral Theory of the Firm
Richard M. Cyert , and James G. March Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0631174516 |
Book Description
Behavioral Theory of the Firm has become a classic work in organizational theory, and is one of the most significant contributions to improving the theory of the firm. This second edition includes new material which puts the original text in a contemporary context.The authors:* Use experiments and empirical observations to build a model of decision making which can be compared with reality.* Reject the structure of the firm as represented by classical economic theory, instead focus on the discretion of management.* Offer a new way of viewing the effects of the organization, communications and individuals on the firm's activity.For students and specialists the second edition of this pathbreaking book offers the original theory, a new summary of the most important work that has taken place since the book was originally published, and an approach which not only advances the theory of the firm but provides a rigorous model for all research in the social services.It is the most important and provocative view yet advanced for seeing inside the firm to understand it as an organization and an economic entity.Customer Reviews:
Selected quotations.......2002-02-26
Major subtheories for a behavioral theory of the firm: theories of organizational goals, org expectations, org choice and org. control.
Conception of organization: "It is a coalition of individuals, some of them organized into subcoalitions."... " any theory of organizational goals must deal succesfully with the obvious potential for internal goal conflict inherent in a colalition of diverse individuals and groups" (Pg 27)
The goal formation process for a coalition:
1.- bargaining process by which the composition and general terms of the coalition are fixed
2.- the internal organizational proceses of control by which objectives are stabilized and elaborated
3.- the proecess of adjustement to esperience by which coalition agreements are altered in responseto environmental changes.
" We have argued that the goals of a business firm are a series of more or less independent constraints imposed on the organization through a process of bargaining among potential coalition members and elaborated over time in response to short time pressures. Goals arise in such a form because the firm is, in fact, a coalition of participants with disparate demands, changing foci of attention, and limited ability to attend to all organization problems simultaneously" (pg 43)
