The Portrait of a Lady (Penguin Classics)

23 reviews
Henry James

Penguin Classics, 2003

Remarks
Perhaps an alternate title for The Portrait of a Lady might be The Velvet Pit and the Silk Pendulum. It is a kind of blend of the sensibilities of Oscar Wilde at his "aesthetically" sunniest, and of Poe in the grimmest of his catacombs. Probably the most striking feature of the book is what is usually called "style." In my view this is a misleading and inadequate term because it ...

Dealing with Darwin: How Great Companies Innovate at Every Phase of Their Evolution

16 reviews
Geoffrey A. Moore

Portfolio Trade, 2008

A cogent survival guide for the evolution of business
In a competitive, capitalist economy, nothing is more prized than the whiz-bang invention, the why-didn't-I-think-of-that product or service that defines a market, delights consumers and gushes profits. Yet for all the ink spilled over innovation, remarkably few businesspeople understand exactly how to mint revolutionary new products. Innovation expert Geoffrey A. Moore delves under the hood of ...

Living on the Fault Line, Revised Edition: Managing for Shareholder Value in Any Economy

Geoffrey A. Moore

Collins Business, 2002

Accessible business strategy primer for the 21st century
I bought Moore's previous incarnation of this book (... in the age of the Internet) in April 02 and read the first chapter with incredulity. It was all about how the dot-coms were blowing away traditional businesses with their "market-share at any price" growth strategies. Then the book started getting interesting. This revised version has the expected mea culpa in the Preface, deletes and ...

Crossing the Chasm

94 reviews
Geoffrey A. Moore

Collins Business, 2002

How companies "grow up"
Having already read the sequel, Inside the Tornado, I wondered whether this book had essentially been summarized in that one. While the basic premise of the technology adoption lifecycle is common to both books, this book, as the name implies, gives much more focus and detail to the stage of "crossing the chasm". This translates to the time between the first few big sales (from innovators) and ...

In this book, you will find some ideas for locating the next stocks that could do this for you. Keep in mind that the ...

A Call to Action
Geoffrey E. Moore

Prostate Cancer Foundation, 2005

"A Call to Action" tells the story of Michael Milken's recent philanthropy, which led Fortune magazine to call him "The Man Who Changed Medicine." Twenty years after he first became involved in supporting medical research in the 1970s, Milken formed the Prostate Cancer Foundation to jumpstart progress against that disease, which strikes one of every six men. This book shows how Milken's uniquely well-conceived strategy has helped to save ...

The Chasm Companion: A Field Guide to Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado (Revised)

8 reviews
Paul Wiefels

Capstone / HarperCollins, 2005

More academic, but still very useful
The Chasm Companion is written in a more academic style than the books written by Geoffrey Moore, but it has new information. Most of it concerns the details of implementing the ideas introduced in the other books. This book does an excellent job of preparing for implementation with ample information on how to assess where in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle one is, to how to adopt an ...

Inside the Tornado: Strategies for Developing, Leveraging, and Surviving Hypergrowth Markets (Collins ...

37 reviews
Geoffrey A. Moore

Collins Business, 2004

WOW!
Granted I haven't yet read the predecessor to this book, Crossing the Chasm, but this is the best business book I have read focusing on the external aspects of business. Most business books focus internally - what you and/or your company needs to do. This book takes the approach that what one does has a dependency on what's going on with the market. The market, as defined in Crossing the ...

Daisy Miller (Penguin Classics)

49 reviews
Henry James

Penguin Classics, 1987

Daisy is the best of America
I recommend Daisy Miller for anyone who's grown tired of American arrogance and exceptionalism, particularly for Americans who have lost sight of what's reasonably lovable in our own culture. This brash and irreverent naif, vacationing in Europe, and her affair with the stodgy and non-committal Winterbourne embodies the best of American innocence and idealism. Daisy remains James' best-loved ...

Geoffrey A. Moore

Collins, 2000

The culmination of Moore's business framework thinking
Geoffrey's Moore's latest book should be required reading for all executives in the age of the Internet. Rather than filling out a theoretically weak book with numerous examples, or building a detailed theory which cannot be applied, Moore has produced a brilliant work of practical business theory. Drawing on and extending his work in Crossing the Chasm, Inside the Tornado, and The Gorilla Game, ...

Henry James

Penguin Classics, 1984

"Money's a horrid thing to follow, but a charming thing to meet."
When Isabel Archer, a bright and independent young American, makes her first trip to Europe in the company of her aunt, Mrs. Touchett, who lives outside of London in a 400-year-old estate, she discovers a totally different world, one which does not encourage her independent thinking or behavior and which is governed by rigid social codes. This contrast between American and European values, ...

Conjunctions: 46, Selected Subversions: Essays on the World at Large (Conjunctions)
John Crowley, Fanny Howe, ...

Bard College, 2006

This anthology of commissioned writing on subjects as wide-ranging as rock and roll lyrics, movies, science, pornography, curiosity cabinets, jazz and magic offers rich insights into a vast spectrum of ideas. The classic essay form--postulation, argument, exegesis, conclusion--ain't what it used to be. Lately it's too often referred to as what

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Tertiary Phase (dramatization)

Douglas Adams

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

I Cried, I Laughed, I Cried Some More
When I found this item on the audiobook rack at my local bookstore (the one with the cafe stapled onto it) it took me at least an entire minute to figure out what it was I was looking at. I thought it must be a reissue of the original radio episodes (from 25 years ago) or a new reading by somebody or other. Gradually it dawned on me like a sledgehammer through molasses that this was an all-new ...
