Sutton Harvard Business School Press, 2006 Another thought provoking work from Pfeffer I've been an avid Pfeffer fan since 'Resource Dependency', so am inclined to give him 5 stars for anything he writes. The main themes in here are extremely thought provoking and are great for jogging one's brain to think thorough one's management assumptions. A few of his analogies are weak...I believe there are better cases as analogies for some of Pfeffer's points. He relies upon his ...             A Little Trouble with the Facts: A Novel6 reviews Nina Siegal Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Deserves six stars! No wonder Publisher's Weekly compared Siegal to Chandler. Not only is she a polished stylist who brings her various urban settings, high and low, to vivid life, she also manages to write a wickedly funny, entertaining novel with serious themes. This is one of the best novels I've read recently. It offers many discoveries, lots of surprises, plenty to think about when it's all over. I especially ...             The Round and Other Cold Hard Facts J. M. G.

I was surprised to read that the Grimms added violence in order to make the stories more parent-friendly--I guess parents in those days really believed that punishments would produce virtue. Loved the stories at the end, which are pretty hair-raising. I was surprised to learn that ...             The Power of Logical Thinking: Easy Lessons in the Art of Reasoning...and Hard Facts About Its Absence in Our ...14 reviews Marilyn Vos Savant St. Martin's Griffin, 1997 Enjoyable read and introduction to logic and fallacies After a basic introduction to some logical fallacies such as the statistical implications of some drug tests, this book moves to the now famous Monty Hall problem.

This reference book is one of the most in-depth works on heavy metal music that I have ever found. The entries for major bands are accurate and interesting, but the real value lies in the entries for lesser-known and regional bands. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in hard rock or heavy metal.             Hard Facts: Setting and Form in the American Novel Philip Fisher Oxford University Press, USA, 1986 American culture has often been described in terms of paradigmatic images--the wilderness, the Jeffersonian landscape of family farms, the great industrial cities at the turn of the 19th century. But underlying these cultural ideals are less happy paradoxes. Settling the land meant banishing the Indians and destroying the wilderness; Jeffersonian landscapes were created with the help of the new country's enslaved citizens; and economic ...             Hard Science, Hard Choices: Facts, Ethics, and Policies Guiding Brain Science Today (Dana Press - Dana ...1 review Sandra J.
