Best Single Volume Account of the American War in the Pacific
I read this shortly after the first edition came out. I was taking a year off to travel around the world and I was going to spend a good six months in the South Pacific. Although I had read a lot of history on the war prior to this, I wanted a good general history to tie everything together. I wanted one as in-depth as I could get. From this volume I made again launched into a more detailed ...

It is always good to read the text before...
The book is based on some solid quantitative studies and it is important that we read the text first before inclining to accept any particular views invoked by reviews. I suggest that you read the text first and then make your mind based on your reading.

Because they might as well hear it from us first
My kids are 7 & 10 and I am starting this series with them, beginning with this book. We recently had a baby and this, of course, sparked many questions. They giggled through some of the terminology, but it's important to me that we talk about this within our family so that when they hear "things" from other kids, they'll know the truth and will open up to us about what they've heard. I didn't ...

A Worthwhile Look into the Nordstrom Culture
The Nordstrom Way was not developed overnight. It has been four generations and over one hundred years in the making. It is a culture, not an act that can be turned on and off. It is a pleasure also to have its recent top salesman Patrick McCarthy share his story. The Nordstrom Way oozes with pride... the pride of providing a top-rate retail experience. Salesmen are empowered to make ...

A princely catalogue
Since I will not be lucky enough to see the exhibition at the Guggenheim, I am very happy to be able to say that this is one of the best art books I have ordered so far. It lists and illustrates the bulk of Prince's major series (the original ad pictures from the 1970's, stripped of all text, the cowboy photos,the joke paintings, the nurse paintings,the latest 2006 "De Kooning" paintings which ...

Great stories of the best Cust. Service around
I was very excited to read this book after enjoying Spector's book on Amazon.com. The author did not disapoint and I enjoyed this book much more than his last! The best part of the book are the examples used. In addition to Nordstrom, he has also incorporated examples from another large company, and a few small and midsize companies as well. No matter what industry you are in, or the size ...

a must for statisticians wanting to learn R
This book along with Jim Albert's should be read by every statistician that does a lot of statistical computing. Both books help you learn R quickly and apply it to many important problems in research both applied and theoretical. Albert emphasizes applications in Bayesian statistics whereas Spector is teaching how to do data manipulation, things like merging and transposing data sets. These ...

Sagmeister Always Rocks
Like his first book, this one is filled with clever design details and insights into his process. Unlike the typical designer, Sagmeister speaks of his process in terms that more are akin to self-improvement and self-analysis and than technique, giving us plebians insight into how the master works. A must for any design oficionado.

Packs More Power Per Page Than Any Book I Ever Read...
I'm a long time automotive entrepreneur, now making my business online communities and specialized professional networks, and an old time Wharton School alumni, so when this book was announced I naturally had to buy and read it. Wow! Though very simple to read and absorb in a very short amount of time, with some helpful and entertaining call outs and pictures, there is not one book I've ...

A SHORT HISTORY OF AN E-COMMERCE GIANT
Amazon.com is probably the most cited online business of all times, and it will certainly be the case for the next ten years or so. Therefore, this little yellow paperback book is a must-read for those who do not know that the "e" at the beginning of e-commerce does not stand for "easy". Indeed, similar to its counterparts, Amazon.com was also born in a garage and then became an e-commerce giant ...

Bush should have read this
This is a great summary of Asia in the post-war years. I was surprised at the extent of US and European involvement in China, Korea, and other countries after Japan surrendered. One of the key themes is how foreign liberating armies can soon become occupiers. Americans in China soon found this out after US marines were accused of raping a Chinese student. In other countries, the liberating ...

The Current Retailing Revolution, Not the First/Not the Last
Recently I needed a set of tires. I made the rounds of the traditional tire chains in my small town. The quotes from the three stores were just about identical at $600. I went to WalMart -- $400. Same mileage guarantee, same 'we fix flats and rotate,' and a warranty that was truly nationwide. Please explain why I shouldn't have bought the tires I needed at WalMart. Category Killers are those ...

Implementing Organizational Change: Theory and Practice

Prentice Hall

Just skims the surface...but not in a good way
I used this book to teach a graduate, professional course on Organizational Change on the recommendation of a colleague. Its key strength is that it is concise and therefore a good choice for working students without much time to spend on a full-length textbook. However, the advantages end with the short length; the book skims over so much material that could be of great utility in the interest ...

WONDERFUL PRESENTATION OF THE WORK OF A WONDERFUL POET
I cannot think of a better way to introduce the poetry of Robert Browning than this small volume. The selection is excellent and of interest you the young reader. The commentary is quite relevant as are the pictures which accompany it. I find that often now, our young people go all the way through the early grades in school and many of them have never heard of Browning, much less read his ...

Best Book for those serious about Positive training
This book is for those serious about: - obedience - agility - other sports, including herding - service dogs - or just an eager, happily-working and well-behaved pet. I'd suggest that people first have at least a basic understanding of operant conditioning (clicker training) but I say that only because Mr Spector provides a great deal of detail, explanation, trouble-shooting, and theory for each ...
