Norton, 2008 A Challenge Facing America While I spend most of my time writing and speaking about India's role in the global economy I am always aware of the rise of China and the economic challenge that it poses to America.

This collection of stories was like wandering through a series of seductive dream landscapes. Originally styled. - C.A.Wulff, author of Born Without a Tail             Elephant Man8 reviews Bernard Pomerance Grove Press, 1994 Modern theatrical masterwork I can think of few films that have touched me as deeply as Lynch's "The Elephant Man." Hence, I was prepared for an anticlimactic theater piece when I picked up the script and subsequently attended the play. To my surprise, it's every bit as powerful as the film--in no way a replacement for Lynch's supreme achievement but a necessary complement to it. Pomerance' play concentrates on Dr. ...             The Elephant's Secret Sense: The Hidden Life of the Wild Herds of Africa12 reviews Caitlin O'Connell Free Press, 2007 Inspired by Elephants' Ears One would expect that a book written by a research associate at Stanford University on elephant communication would be boring and pedantic, but not so with Caitlin O'Connell's The Elephant's Secret Sense.

I found myself laughing out loud as I read Bill Walsh's "The Elephant's of Style." Reminiscent of "Woe is I" this title actually entertains as it enlightens. Some of Walsh's best lines were "Split infinitives are the chicken cacciatore of the English Language" and "Who died and left me in charge of the English language?" I want to know where Bill Walsh was when I was being drilled in grammar ...             The Fifth Elephant (Discworld)92 reviews Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs A&C Black, 2003 Excellent entry in the Guards Series I know that many have stated that there had been a decline in Pratchett's writing as time goes on... I personally would have to disagree. There is a change in his writing; however I feel that it has been for the better. As his books have progressed, he has leaned less toward the quick giggle and insane rush of nonsense and more toward a satirical plot with darker edges and the giggles ...             Birthing the Elephant: A Woman's Go-for-it!

It was wonderful!             I Love My New Toy! (An Elephant and Piggie Book) (Elephant and Piggie)1 review Mo Willems Hyperion Book CH, 2008 great early reader series My son loves the whole Elephant & Piggie series. In fact, these books are what taught him to read at age 4. They are repetitive and use short, easy words. Plus, they are hilarious. My son wants to read them each night. "I Love My New Toy" was just as funny as the rest of the ones we have. Mo Willems is the best children's author out there, in my opinion. We have all of his books, and they get ...             The Thin Book of Naming Elephants: How to Surface Undiscussables for Greater Organizational Success9 reviews Sue Annis Hammond, Andrea B. Mayfield Thin Book Publishing Co., 2004 A Striking Case Study on Organizational Culture Anyone who has worked in a corporation knows that an elephant is not just an animal with four legs and a trunk -- an elephant is an issue or problem standing in the middle of the room that everyone knows about but no one is willing to acknowledge or deal with.
