Excellent, essential tool for corporate communicators.......2002-04-10

How the heck *do* you spell the name of that ice cream company? In my job I have to write to a lot of companies and need their spellings at my fingertips. Not surprisingly, Webster's doesn't list any of them. This book has become a staple reference tool for me.

(Believe it or not, a lot of companies spell their own names WRONG on their web sites!)

Kaplan Provides More Practice Tests for the $$$.......2003-03-12

As helpful as the introductory material is in this work, Kaplan's SAT II Literature guide does not bog the reader down with hundreds of pages of "test talk ." Instead, most of the book is devoted to no fewer than EIGHT practice tests, with answer explanations included. Descriptions of the test, recommendations for test-taking and a humorous glossary of literary terms are there if you want them; but if you learn best BY DOING, then this volume comes highly recommended.

Book Description

"Bombardier was under attach again. This time, the flack was coming from the president of Berlin-based Adtranz, the rail equipment subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG. In 1999, he traveled to Toronto and made a speech in which he warned that Adtranz was coming to challenge Montreal-based Bombardier on its home turf of North America. His motive was retaliation: he did not like Bombardier's invasion of Adtranz's European markets. So he was going to put the upstart from the hinterlands in its place. 'The major player in the United States of the future will be, I believe, Adtranz,' he predicted."

"In the spring of 2001, Bombardier acquired Adtranz. The purchase more than doubled annual revenues at Bombardier's rail equipment division and catapulted Bombardier into the number one spot in the railway equipment industry, ahead of the rail divisions of Franco-British conglomerate Alstom and German industrial giant Siemens."

"What made Bombardier's progression in rail equipment all the more remarkable is that it occurred while yet another progression was under way at Bombardier's aerospace group. In 1986, the company decided to enter the aerospace sector by acquiring business-jet maker Canadair Ltd. of Montreal. This was followed by acquisitions of several other ailing aerospace companies, including world-renowned Learjet. Turning around these floundering assets, Bombardier came out of nowhere to become, in a little more than a dozen years, the third-largest member of the civil aerospace manufacturing industry. Only US giant Boeing and European colossus, the Airbus consortium, are larger." — from The Bombardier Story

Customer Reviews:

Good, but not great, business history.......2002-06-04

Strengths of The Bombardier Story:
* Comprehensive, but non-controversial, chronology of company from J.A. Bombardier's Quebec garage to an international conglomerate
* Complete review of the company's entry into snowmobiles, trains, and aerospace
* Straight-forward analysis of strengths and weaknesses of the company looking forward to the market challenges of future years

Weaknesses:
* Even though the author writes early in the book that he will explain some of the company's innovative management methods, these parts come up short. The explanations of the Bombardier Management System and the employee-centric culture do not give the reader a lot of information that could easily transfer to their own businesses
* While I know little of the company's history beyond this book, I do believe that some of the less flattering portions of the company's history are played down or left out. This would include the company's investment in, then quiet exit from, the 100+-seat commercial jet business.

Recommended for those interested specifically in Bombardier's history or as a secondary reference for those interested in the business of recreational machines, trains, or civil aircraft.

Book Description

English Medieval Industries is an authoritative modern survey of medieval crafts and their products. It is heavily illustrated by pictures of surviving objects and contemporary representations of medieval work. Each industry is approached by material (amongst others stone, tin, lead, copper, iron, brick, glass, leather, bone and wood), discussing its acquisition, working and sale as a finished product. The contributors are the leading experts in their fields. They describe the specialist work that went to make the housing, clothing, tools, vessels and ornaments of medieval people. A general bibliography provides a valuable reference tool.

From the supplier: Insurance companies have split into different factions over the kind of disaster coverage the federal government should offer. Primary insurers favor greater federal coverage than reinsurance companies want, with primary insurers in disaster-prone areas seeking the most coverage. The issue has prompted the formation of two insurance groups that have different agendas on the issue. However, the more information and discussion that emerges, the better for all insurers.

From the supplier: Two bills that will address how insurers cover losses from natural disasters have been introduced into the Banking Committee of the House of Representatives and are expected to be merged into a single bill before Congress adjourns at the end of 1997. The bill introduced by Rep Bill McCollum would authorize the Treasury Dept to auction excess-of-loss contracts that would help cover reinsurers and private insurers in case a natural disaster caused more than $25 billion in insured losses. Rep Rick Laszio's bill would allow the Treasury Dept to sell reinsurance to high-risk state pools.
