American Council on Education/Oryx Press, 1996

Useful
Fisher and Koch have written an interesting book on the college and university presidency. Essentially, they have taken the time honored precepts of Machiavelli's The Prince and updated it to pertain to the modern college presidency. Their observations are a must read for any prospective college president as well as an interesting read for anyone who aspires to lead any organization. With ...

James R. Fisher Jr.

CRC, 1997

The Journal of Applied Management and Entrepreneurship
For many years, researchers and behavioral scientists have attempted to view organizations by using psychoanalytical and/or other psychological schools of thought structures. James R. Fisher, Jr. follows similar approaches, but does so, to this reviewer's opinion, with great insight, philosophical depth and uncanny predictive truth. This book provides readers with an accurate development of ...

James Fisher

Greenwood Press, 1997

Treasure trove of information about America's beloved comic
Although there are now two full-scale biographies of Cantor (Koceluk and Goldman), it is fair to say that neither gives the sense of the magnitude of Eddie Cantor's stardom that can be gleaned from perusal of Fisher's exhaustive bibliography of Cantor's work. Fisher has chronicled Cantor's stage, screen, radio, television, recording and literary career with great care and provided a very nice ...

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002

wonderful book ... suitable for the corporate world!
This is a really wonderful book. I bought this book strictly because I was fascinated by the work of one of the authors, Dr James Wandersee, even though biology is not my cup of tea. By chance, I "strayed" into his web-site, aptly called The 15 Degree Laboratory, while surfing the internet one day. (If you are curious to find out more, go to his web-site.) When I learnt, also by chance, that he ...

James F. Fisher

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Living Martyrs didn't die in vain
This was an an in depth study of the topic. It was quite descriptive, supporting views with many revealing interviews. The fact that the book was coauthored by native Nepalis lends credence to the arguments presented by Fisher.

Corporate Sin: Leaderless Leadership and Dissonant Workers

1 review
James R. Fisher Jr.

1st Books Library, 2000

Corporate Sin -- Like a "Left Cross" to the Psyche
Franz Kafka said that if the book you are reading doesn't affect you with the same force as a blow to the side of the head, then reading might be a waste of time. In that light, reading "Corporate Sin," by James R. Fisher, Jr., is an experience similar to receiving steady left jabs, frequent left hooks, and an occasional overhand right that you don't always see coming and that continues to send ...

Wild America: The Record of a 30,000 Mile Journey Around the Continent by a Distinguished Naturalist and His ...

3 reviews
Roger Tory Peterson, James Fisher

Mariner Books, 1997

Wonderful
Let me just quote my favorite line from the book. It is when James Fisher, an Englishman, first sees the Grand Canyon: "I went down there a few yards. The world ended; began again eight miles away. Between the ends of the world was a chasm." Now I have never seen the Grand Canyon, but reading about it with such wonder through Mr. Fisher's eyes was extraordinary. It brought tears to my eyes. It ...

Patrick B. Lawless, James R. Fisher

Xulon Press, 2002

Understanding the Gospel of John
When I read John Alive! I felt a oneness with the characters portrayed in each chapter. I became one with the characters as they expressed their thoughts and feelings. I could relate my own personal experiences and feelings with those developed in each story line. I especially liked the questions written throughout each chapter. I took the time to reflect on my own personal life as it related ...

The Entrepreneurial College President

1 review

Praeger Publishers, 2004

Extremely Necessary! Absolutely Fabulous!
Dr. Fisher's name is not new at all for those who follow and pursue research on higher education administration and the aspects of the presidency. This book is a sort of update of his previous book "Effective College President" but in addition, Dr. Fisher and Dr. Koch enriched it with statistical data pertaining to the presidents and their performance. The book is a Bible for those who are in ...

James A. Fisher

Avant Publishing, 1999

A Quick-Learn Guide to Avoiding the Pitfalls in English
..... From at least the time of Shakespeare, pundits have been decrying the lack of class. Noel Coward did it with such wit that it became an amusing pastime. Lerner and Loewe distilled the concept into speech-both its sound and patterns-in the popular "My Fair Lady." And now we have James A. Fisher who makes the same point in an effort to improve matters if we will but cooperate. Fisher is ...

Growing Up in the Midwest in the 40's
Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. It brought back so many memories and triggered so many more. Some things brought tears to my eyes just thinking of the wonderful and sometimes sad times I remember as a child born in Clinton,Iowa and never leaving until I went to Iowa State. At first I did not remember Jim Fisher from high school days, but after checking the yearbook I ...

The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't

Kenneth L. Fisher

Wiley, 2008

Get a healthy new perspective on the markets
Fisher's book explodes a number of market myths that are taken as conventional wisdom by most investors, very much to their disadvantage. Fisher not only puts matters in perspective, he teaches you how to think about markets, how to identify opportunities, when to take risks, when to play safe, when to get in, when to get out, etc. I like the way he writes, stating general principles and backing ...

Vincent James

Rockport Publishers, 1999

A visually stunning monograph
Despite its modest format, this elegant monograph more than does justice to Vincent James' extraordinary copper pavilions floating in a birch forest, comprehensively illustrated here with a wide range of visual materials, from early design sketches, construction photographs, and extensive working drawings to exquisite images of the finished building through four seasons of rain, mist, snow, ...
