The most complete personal development book ever.......2001-03-15

This book is the most complete book from A to Z covering the topic of personal development. Dr. Rubino explains the different steps in a detailed, yet simple process. It gets you thinking about who you are and who you want to become through"change". His use of quotations of many famous people through the years, share with you that personal development has been around for many years and that it is highly under utilized. In todays society where its use is becoming more prevalent, Dr. Rubino's book is an easy to read text. If one is up to it, and I highly recommend this, one should do all of the suggested exercises at the end of the chapters. If you're into personal development and "change" then this is the book for you.

This book is filled with life enhancing ~ contents ~ growth experiences ~ developmental chapters. These meaningful chapters can be utilized in incremental stages.

Then taking a principle one at a time and utilizing the information on how you can enhance your life as well as those around you, we use and practice one principle a week with a small focus group. You can gain immeasurably by putting into practice the principles, while increasing the effectiveness of the group. This book has been a tremendous growth experience for us, and we would highly recommend it for anyone truly interested in self improvement.

Dr. Joe's Masterpiece!.......2001-03-06

What a great book! Dr. Joe Rubino once again shares his mastery of success principles with a readership who is likely to devour every morsel of information he has so willingly shared. Not only is he an excellent teacher, but he's achieved in his own life the type of success he teaches. The two don't necessarily go together :-) With Joe they do.

This book is Dr. Joe's masterpiece! A brilliant system for reaching great heights. A road map to the principles of life that spell super-success for anyone who is willing to apply them. This book should be read -- no, it should be devoured! -- by everyone.

Smokey The Beer.......2001-11-20

Unlike most of the books of the "Classic Beer Styles" series, Daniels and Larson don't go into the details of how to brew beer. This is fortunate because there are a myriad of other books that cover that topic and the actual brewing process isn't different from most beers. Instead, they cover in depth what imparts these flavors into beer - the malt. They also detail a history of smoke in beers and introduce an intriguing concept; many beers at one time tasted of smoke because of methods used to dry the malt. Today it is definitely a specialty but from Alaska to Germany to Japan, I was surprised to find out how many different types of smoked beers are produced. I was also surprised to find out how relatively simple it is to do it for yourself.

Like in his previous works, Daniels consistently cites sources so you know you are reading fact, not fiction. Larsen's experiences both at his brewery and while traveling demonstrate his passion for his subject. This has translated into a book the truly captures all aspects of smoked beers in a very entertaining package. Read this book and if you don't feel inclined to begin smoking your own malt you'll at least want to jump on a plane to Bamberg, Germany and try some genuine smoked beers for yourself.

Smoke Supreme!.......2001-03-17

I've always enjoyed smoke-flavored beers, but during the writing of this book I found that the range of flavors and smoke-intensities was even broader than I had imagined. In the modern home of smoked beers -- Bamberg, Germany -- we found pilseners and weizens with a hint of smoke along with marzens and bocks with enough smoke to cure a sausage! In addition to detailing the many smoked specialty beers of Germany, we also cover the vast range of smoked beers now made in America.

Whatever your taste for smoke, we've written this book so that you can make a beer that perfectly satisfies your mood. Along the way, we review subjects like the history of smoke in beer and the chemistry of fire and smoke. In the end though, it comes down to practical realities: simple smoking methods for malt and recipes for all levels of brewers who want to make great smoked beers -- from either home- or commercially-smoked malts.

Whether you are a casual brewer with a taste for smoke or just a casual beer traveler looking for new flavors to explore, "Smoked Beers" will add new entries to your beer diary.

Book Description

From the acclaimed MIT Sloan Management Review comes this compendium of cutting-edge thinking about corporate strategy. Focusing on strategic imperatives of the new economy, leading thinkers in the field present their views in four general areas: strategy and value creation; flexibility in a volatile world; strategy making in uncertain times; and strategies for growth in fast-paced markets. Strategic Thinking for the New Economy shows that designing a successful strategy is a never-ending quest--and that effective strategic thinking is a process of continuously asking questions and thinking through issues in a creative way. Included among the book's many expert contributers are Christopher A. Bartlett, Henry Mintzberg, Richard T. Pascale and C. K. Prahalad.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding!.......2001-07-16

This is a great collection of essays that delivers a consistent message throughout. It begins with a new management manifesto, past theory, and works its way through flexibility and growth and innovation. A great, quick-reading book for those interested in the 'new' strategy game.

Preparation for a Never-Ending Quest.......2001-06-20

Here is an absolutely first-rate collection of essays which, with commendable diversity but consistent brilliance, examine fundamentals of strategy and value creation, strategic flexibility in (heaven knows) a volatile world, strategy marketing in uncertain times, and strategies for growth in fast-paced markets. We should not be surprised by the quality of content selected nor by the quality of editing provided by Cusumano and Markides. As they explain in the introduction, "The chapters in this volume fall into four categories. Part One (two chapters by Ghoshal, Bartlett, and Moran and one by Mintzberg and Lampel) deal primarily with strategy and value creation in the next economy. Part Two (one chapter by Hax and Wilde and one by Eisenhardt) talks about flexibility in a volatile world. Part Three (three chapters, by Pascale, Beinhocker, and Williamson) continues on this theme but focusses on strategy and strategy-making process in times of uncertainty. Finally, Part four (five chapters, by Hamel, Kim, and Mauborgne; Markides, Prahalad and Oosterveld, and von Krogh and Cusumano) concentrates on strategic innovation and strategies for growth, particularly bin fast-paced markets."

Those (such as I) who subscribe to the MIT Sloan Management Review have perhaps already read many of these essays. How convenient to have a single volume in which they are gathered; also, to have such a well-written Introduction by the editors and then a section ("The Authors") which suggests additional resources to explore. (I consider Markides' All the Right Moves: A Guide to Crafting Breakthrough Strategy to be one of the most important business books written within recent years.) Some owners/CEOs of smaller companies incorrectly believe that strategic thinking (at least as they understand it) is not of major importance when, in fact, the opposite is true. Go back and examine the origins of what have since become the world's largest corporations and you will learn that each began with one or two basic strategies. For example, when James Cash Penney opened his first store (named "The Golden Rule") in 1902 in Kemmerer (WY), his basic strategies were (a) to treat each customer as a guest and (b) to offer merchandise of the highest possible quality for the lowest possible price. More recently, in 1983, Michael Dell began to re-sell RAM chips and disk drives for IBM PCs (from his dormitory room at the University of Texas) and by April of 1984, his computer component business was grossing about $80,000 a month. His basic strategy then and now: To sell a limited selection of products directly to consumers and then provide superior service. My point, obviously, is that this book can be an invaluable resource for senior-level executives in large companies but can also be every bit as valuable to decision-makers in small-to-mid size companies.

The authors raise almost all of the most important questions to be asked about strategy and then, together, offer thoughtful (at times highly innovative) as well as practical responses to those questions. For example: How to define a company as a value creator rather than a value appropriator? How can a new management framework address the current business environment of complexity and uncertainty by expanding the spectrum of strategic positions? How can successful business strategy emerge from a decision-making process in which executives develop "collective intuition" and accelerate "constructive combat" while maintaining decision pacing and avoiding politics? You may not agree with all of the authors' observations and conclusions. Fair enough. But I am certain that, after having read this book, you will be a much more effective strategic thinker.

Book Description

This important book deals with two issues: the emancipation of the Third World from the debt system and the reappropriation of development by civil society through financial self-reliance. The author begins by analyzing the failure of 50 years of externally financed development. He shows how the foreign aid system has had the perverse effect of downplaying the role of domestic savings and creating a chronic economic and technological dependency. Massive foreign aid also subverted the political process in many Third World countries by giving birth to a new class which Gélinas calls the "aidocracy." He traces the roots of autonomous development based on domestic capital accumulation and highlights the much neglected resource that exists in even the poorest countries: savings. This kind of development, already at work in the "people’s economy," can only begin at the grassroots, not at the level of the state. Critical of the foreign aid industry, Jacques Gélinas asserts that true international cooperation defined as external support for an internal dynamic remains useful and necessary. The issue for the North should not be to give more, but to take less.

Book Description

Emphasizing teamwork, leadership and technology, this book distinguishes itself in two major ways: its emphasis on teamwork and leadership skills and its integration of ethics and diversity throughout. This book is especially timely because of the recent attention given to teams in business and industry, the examination of technology's role in small group communication, and the growing awareness that professionals need to examine their own leadership competence and understand the ethical and social implications of the groups in which they participate.
