Executive Excellence Magazine: 12 Year Archive: Over Ten Years of Powerful Writings on Leadership, Managerial ...

1 review

Executive Excellence Publishing, 1997

Expensive, but a lot of useful information
A CD-Rom jammed with articles from EXECUTIVE EXCELLENCE. I actually got my copy as a bonus for subscribing a couple of years ago. Many of the articles are interesting, but they are all quite short, almost MTV-ish. This seems to be the preferred style for this publication. If you are a fan of Warren Bennis, or one of the writers who regularly contribute to that publication, this is a good way to ...

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

Buffalo writers share real stories and lessons learned
This book was recommended to me by Jim, a successful businessman I met on an airplane early in 2007. He said it was the best business advice book he had ever read. So I put it on my wish list and never thought too much about it until December when I was ordering several books to read for the start of the new year. I wasn't sure I would like the book -- it was written in 1993 and I wondered if ...

Americans on the Road: From Autocamp to Motel, 1910-1945
Warren James Belasco

The MIT Press, 1979

In Americans on the Road, Warren James Belasco uses travel magazines, trade journals, and diaries to "look at what Americans actually did with their cars rather than try to judge what cars did to Americans." Belasco begins with the earliest days of automobile travel in America--when travelers camped wherever they stopped along the roadside, "gypsying" in their cars or in tents--and moves on to chart the growth in the 1920s of free municipal ...

James A. Belasco

Plume, 1991

Management
For a business/management book, it was an enjoyable read... Creative and offered solution ideas, as well as thinking/planning points. It used the typical examples that I found in most managment books, but it was balanced with focused ideas. Definately recommend it!

Appetite for Change: How the Counterculture Took on the Food Industry

2 reviews
Warren James Belasco

Cornell University Press, 2006

We are what we eat!
I read this several years ago in an anthropology course and it was truly enlightening. It describes how elements of the counterculture in the 60's came to view the mass production of food as the fundamental basis of industrial economy. They sought to decentralize, communalize and humanize this massive "combine." Unfortunately, they were co-opted, by the giant corporations that today ...
