Must Have Business Resource Book.......2000-06-15
Complying With The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act should be on the bookshelf of every manager who works with a U.S. firm doing business in an international market environment or any firm with reporting responsibility to the SEC. The book provides a concise and easy to read explanation of the FCPA and the expanded requirements of subsequent amendments. Mr. Cruver suggests measures individuals and companies can put in place to ensure compliance. Sample forms and agreements are included which make Complying With The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Second Edition an extremely useful resource tool. The cost of this book seems like a bargain when compared to the $69 million in fines one company agreed to pay in 1991 for FCPA violations.

Customer Reviews:
Extreme beadwork.......2007-03-31
As it is titled, the book shows a lot of complex beadwork, most being labor intensive designs. Many of the designs are visually interesting, but some of them just strike me as being over the top.
Techniques and problem solving.......2000-09-22
Important: this is not a design book. You will be disappointed if you want yet another book of beaded amulet bag patterns.
However, if you have moved away from amulet bags and need help in working out problems on your own designs, this is the book to have. It covers beadweaving (off- and on-loom), wire work, soldering, tambour stitching, knitting and crocheting with beads, and a lot of use-it-right-now information on bead sizes, threads, cleaning, stone hardness, metals, and glues.
The shortcoming of the book is that it may be too broad in scope and not deep enough in detail. But that can be an advantage: if you are struggling with a technique, you can learn enough from this book to know what to do next, whether learn a different tecnique, go to a specialist book, or take a class. That's a hugely valuable tool to have. It saves money and time. And for professional beaders, that's a big plus.
Book Description
A long long time ago in a glass factory far far away For over a thousand generations the Bead-I knights were the guardians of peace Before the dark times of cheap mass production. before the rebellion From deep within the bead hole came the rebellious Bead-I knights With their thread and needles, they fought the evil dark side and and.. Oh, all right! So. it isn't an action packed romantic thriller.so .it is not really a rebellion but only two artists slightly miffed that seed beads do not get the appreciation they deserve. It is, however, an innovative and inspiring adventure in stitch manipulation using five basic bead stitches: bead embroidery, brick, square, peyote, and right angle weave. From flat to three-dimensional beadwork, this book covers a range of shapes and forms with seven projects designed for the intermediate to advanced beading enthusiasts who are looking for ways to expand their skill to a level above the norm. It is a book for those who are ready to unleash their passion for this under appreciated art medium and learn simple and exciting ways to give dimension to beadwork.

nice introduction.......2002-06-25
This book is a pretty good introduction to Mao and the history of modern China. It actually seems to focus more on the history of modern China than Mao. Unlike other volumes in this series, the graphics in this book do not make fun of their subject, but neither do they help to remember the subject any more than just the text does. Overall, I'd say if you have an interest in how China got to be the way it is today, than this book would be a good one to pick up.

Book Description
It is doubtful if another woman has so openly and boldly shared with us her personal and private experiences with a professional football team. In fact, few women have had the opportunity or ability to fit in with the "guys" and create friendships which have endured for a lifetime. Love, laughter, and tears mix in this riveting and slightly risqué love story, and the home-spun philosophy causes one to pause and consider the validity of the remarks. Both women and men find themselves captured by the frank and endearing stories of individuals who are household names to Green Bay Fans, and they enjoy tidbits of pro-football history, as well as interesting and relatively unknown facts interwoven throughout the text. It is a love affair, encompassing comedy and tragedy, which started and will end with a lifelong passion to be part of what goes on in Lambeau Field. Where does a woman fit into this picture? Modeled and tested by the Champions of Green Bay, this author expresses deep and honest feelings about the lessons learned from relationships with players which shaped and directed her life, and tells us what it was like for her. to run with the "PACK."
Customer Reviews:
Five thumbs-up!.......2007-02-21
Sandy Sullivan is a doll of an author, and in this book she certainly does not fail to disappoint! The book is an excellent history on some of the best and brightest years of Green Bay Packer's football. And she would certainly know it all since she was always right there on the sideline, in the locker rooms, and spending all sorts of time personally cheering on the team. If you are a Packer's fan then this book is certainly for you. You won't be able to put it down at night, and you will learn so much that you never even knew about the greatest era of football and the greatest football team in U.S. history...the Green Bay Packers! Yeah, go green and gold!!!!!!!

Customer Reviews:
A Uniquely Valuable Reference Source.......2004-03-05
Actually, the title of this volume somewhat overstates the case. There is another, Business: the Ultimate Resource (Daniel Goleman is among its 30+ editors) published by Perseus, whose scope and depth of coverage include original best-practice essays from over 150 of today's thought leaders; profiles of the 100 most influential business pioneers and management thinkers; summaries of the 70 most important business books of all time; more than 300 practical checklists which cover all areas of management and career development; a first-class world business almanac covering more than 150 countries, all 50 US states, and 24 industries; a jargon-free dictionary of 6,000 business terms; and an extensive list of 3,000 information sources (books, journals, Web sites and organizations), covering 115 topics. It is, in a word, more comprehensive than is Des Dearlove's book.
That said, I hope my personal opinion does not deter anyone from purchasing his book which also has much to commend it and for a fraction of the cost of Business: the Ultimate Resource. (Also, Dearlove's book is much easier to lift.) His focus is on "the world's greatest business ideas" which are arranged in an alphabetical sequence, beginning with "Action Learning" and concluding with "The Virtual Organization." Dearlove's criteria for selection are eminently sensible: Ideas which are timely, self-contained, have real world credibility, possess and require intellectual rigor, are simple (back to that point in a moment), and practical. There is an especially clever use of graphics to organize/present information such as two "Snapshots" on pages xvii and xix in the Introduction which identify post-war concepts during 1950-1979 and 1980-1999, respectively. Dearlove also includes an "Ideas into action" section in each chapter which provides brief explanations of key concepts as well as suggested do's and don'ts, action steps, etc. Very helpful, especially when periodically reviewing a given chapter.
In The Management Century, Stuart Crainer devotes an entire chapter to each of ten decades. Here are the subjects he covers during the 1900-1950 period:
1900-1910: Stopwatch Science [e.g. Elihu Root, Henri Fayol, and Frederick Winslow Taylor]
1911-1920: Modern Times [e.g. Henry Ford, Frank & Lilian Gilbreth]
1921-1930: Discovering the Organization [e.g. Max Weber, Chester Barnard, Billy Durant, and Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr.]
NOTE: Throughout the book, Crainer inserts his own comments. For example: "Taylor discovered work. Ford discovered work on a massive scale. Sloan organized work. And no one discovered the people doing the work." That is, until the 1930s....
1931-1940: Discovering People [e.g. Mary Parker Follett, Bill Hewlett & David Packard]
1941-1950: Lessons in War [e.g. William S. Knudsen, Walter Shewhart, Akio Morita, Konosuke Matsushita] Note that, in 1950, Peter Drucker becomes professor of manager at New York University. "The first person anywhere in the world to have such a title and to teach such a subject," he later said.
In my opinion, Crainer's book would be an excellent companion for Dearlove's book. Although the two authors take quite different approaches as they cover different subjects, both focus primarily on the most important, hence most influential business ideas. Although Crainer limits his attention to the 20th century, he would be the first to agree with Dearlove that many of the so-called "modern ideas" were originally introduced centuries ago. With regard to the selection criterion "simplicity," I am reminded of Albert Einstein's suggestion that we develop ideas as simple as possible "but no simpler." In this volume, Dearlove makes an earnest and effective effort to follow that principle. He thereby helps his reader to grasp "the world's greatest business ideas" without, to his credit, compromising their intellectual integrity. Case in point: The Balanced Scorecard. He duly acknowledges the work of Robert Kaplan and David Norton who first introduced TBS in an article published in the Harvard Business Review in 1993. Dearlove then synthesizes several key points when suggesting that four different perspectives must be established in proper balance: those of the customer, internal, innovation and learning, and finally financial. Properly devised, Dearlove notes, TBS will reveal and support appropriate cause-and-effect relationships, possess a combination of lead and lag indicators, and be linked to financial measurement. (Please see pages 18- 21.) In this instance and throughout his book, Dearlove makes it as simple as possible "but no simpler" for his reader to grasp ideas such as The Balanced Scorecard. Well done!
Those who share my high regard for Dearlove's book are urged to check out other volumes in Capstone's "Ultimate Book' series as well as the aforementioned Business: the Ultimate Resource, Crainer's aforementioned The Management Century and his The Ultimate Business Library: The Greatest Books That Made Management, Daniel A. Wren and Ronald G. Greenwood's Management Innovators: The People and Ideas That Have Shaped Modern Business, Daniel A. Wren's The Evolution of Management Thought, (4th Edition), and The Leader's Companion: Insights on Leadership Through the Ages (Thomas Wren, (Editor).
