Harvard Business Review on Change (Harvard Business Review Paperback Series)

8 reviews
John P. Kotter, James Collins, ...

Harvard Business School Press, 1998

A positive goldmine
In the nicest possible sense, this book isn't exactly what the title claims. All to often discussions of change management tend to concentrate on the people side of things and ignore the less glamerous topics such as re-tooling, revised administrative and reporting procedures and so on. So, just to keep the record straight, this book is primarily concerned with the personnel aspects of change, ...

Beyond Entrepreneurship: Turning Your Business into an Enduring Great Company

10 reviews
James Collins, William C. Lazier

Prentice Hall Press, 1995

Most Applicable Planning Book I Have Read
I have read a number of books on strategic planning. They all generally follow a very similar approach. However, Jim Collins has done a masterful job putting the theory into a format that is easily understood and easily applied to solve real problems. I initially used the book to lead the strategic planning process for the technical support department of a major software company. The ...

Against Medical Advice: One Family's Struggle with an Agonizing Medical Mystery

James Patterson, Hal Friedman

Hachette Audio, 2008

True story that will move you
I had no idea what having Tourette's syndrome was like; i.e., until I read AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE by James Patterson and Hal Friedman . . . it is a true story about how one family dealt with the reality of having to deal with this debilitating illness. As Cory, the son with Tourette's indicates: * I once told my parents that they couldn't live through a single day with what I go ...

NASA/ART: 50 Years of Exploration
James D. Dean, Bertram Ulrich

Abrams, 2008

Artists, like astronauts, are constantly probing into the unknown. It is fitting that, shortly after the establishment of NASA in 1958, the NASA Art Program was created on the principle that artists are uniquely equipped to interpret and document the experience of space exploration. In the program?s early years, artists as diverse as Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell, and James Wyeth participated. Over time, the Art Program has ...

Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies

149 reviews
James C. Collins, Jerry I. Porras

HarperCollins Publishers, 1997

The "Core Values" of Corporate Business of the Yesterday and Today
Let me just say, I have read two books by Jim Collins and his research team and I have not been at all disappointed. All chapters were explained without complex sentence writings and without all the extra stuff. For example, "Resiliency (not perfection) is the signature of greatness, be it in a person, an organization, or a nation." Jim Collins provided within each chapter insights on how to ...

Beginner's Greek: A Novel

130 reviews
James Collins

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

A comedy of manners, a dramady of errors
This spirited novel gets off to a questionable start. I believe it is intended that way, until you fall into its rhythm. At about page 60 I was hooked. By that time, I really grokked the narrator's flow and the prose became so natural that it was like I was living the story. The low-star reviewers did not get it. This was not "zany" or "40's style" or vacuous. The narration is intentionally ...

Will Rogers: Courtship and Correspondence, 1900-1915
Reba Collins

University of Oklahoma Press, 2008

Will Rogers was a one-man news and entertainment industry at the time of his tragic death in 1935. We know Rogers' public persona from his surviving movies, syndicated newspaper column, and recorded radio performances. But less is commonly known about Rogers the private man. This book reveals much about his origins and early years--in the words of the "Indian Cowboy" himself.

Chasing Rainbows: Collecting American Indian Trade & Camp Blankets

Barry Friedman, James L. Collins

Bulfinch, 2003

I've read CR twice so I'm actually giving it 10 stars
I own a massive library of books on every imaginable collecting subject and none has given me more joy than "Chasing Rainbows". Barry Friedman has intertwined his vast knowledge of Indian blankets, American history, the antiques business and garnished the result with a unique sense of humor and breathtaking photos to create a book that is an absolute gem. This is a great book from a very gifted ...

The opening chapter on geography and climate frames the discussion, demonstrating how the environment has shaped the societies and cultures of those living in the region. Thereafter they describe the rise of states and empires in the classical period, the slave trade within Africa and beyond to the ...

The Crow: Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams

Del Rey, 1999

Wonderful and excellant
I really loved this book and I think they should have movies on some of the stories. I would recommend this to fellow Crow fans and Dark Fantasty. :)

Frankenstein: Original Text: The Graphic Novel (Classical Comics)
Mary Shelley

Classical Comics Ltd, 2008

The classic novel brought to life in full color! 'Cursed be the hands that formed you'! True to the original novel, Declan Shalvey's naturally gothic artistic style is a perfect match for this epic tale. "Frankenstein" is such a well known title, yet the films strayed so far beyond the original novel that many people today don't realize how this classic horror tale deals with such timeless subjects as alienation, empathy and understanding beyond ...

Book came with the cover a little dirty. The edges were bent as stated by the seller. Some pages were marked , but overall a good bargain. It was the first received of many orders I placed.
