The Mayor of Casterbridge (Modern Library Classics)

76 reviews
Thomas Hardy

Modern Library, 2002

Neither cheerful nor uplifting, but always compelling and moving!
Michael Henchard, a down-on-his-luck, unemployed hay trusser, succumbs to the siren call of alcohol at a country fair. Subconsciously feeling his wife, Susan, is holding him back from success in this world, he awakes to sobriety the next morning and realizes that, in a foolish fit of pique, he has auctioned her and his daughter, Elizabeth-Jane, off to a sailor. Despite his frantic efforts to find ...

Intellectual Capital: The New Wealth of Organizations

28 reviews
Thomas A. Stewart

Doubleday Business, 1998

Ref A for Buidling Value in the Information Age
I read the same author's The Wealth of Knowledge: Intellectual Capital and the Twenty-first Century Organization first, and then went back to get this earlier book (1998), and I actually feel that reading them in that order is better. This book has a lot of detail that is well served by the context that can be found in the later book. For those who really wish to get a deep look at the future ...

International Human Rights in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

4 reviews

West Publishing Company, 2002

An excellent introduction
An excellent introduction to International Human Rights. I enjoyed the extensive bibliography and the objectivity (not neutrality) of the author's commentaries.

SNAKES!
Great art and a thrilling story. I admit I still hold a candle for the original Roy Thomas story that was my first introduction to the amazing world of Conan, but this version ROCKS, too!

Markov Processes: Characterization and Convergence (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

1 review
Stewart N. Ethier, Thomas G. Kurtz

Wiley-Interscience, 2005

Accessible Treatment of a Demanding Topic
The authors have assembled a very accessible treatment of Markov process theory. The text covers three principal convergence techniques in detail: the operator semigroup characterization, the solution of the martingale problem of Stroock and Varadhan and the stochastic calculus of random time changes. The book is reasonably self-contained, although the reader is well-advised to prepare ...

2 reviews
Allen C., M.D. Bowling, Thomas M. Stewart

Demos Medical Publishing, 2004

Jampacked with lots and lots of essential information those of us with MS need
WOW! I now no longer feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark about dietary suppplements and MS! Dr. Bowling thoroughly and objectively examines supplements and their effects on MS! How empowering it is to know that certain supplements have the side effect of nausea, which is my most frequent and bothersome MS sypmtom and the one thing I simply can't cope with. No more Evening Primrose Oil ...

Conan Volume 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels))

19 reviews
Kurt Busiek

Dark Horse, 2005

Conan Rules
The Art here is unbelievable, and the storytelling is excellent. I highly recommend this book, and this series. This is Conan, the way it should be told. The creators have made a beautiful and fitting tribute to one of the greatest fantasy characters of all-time. This is compelling, page turning adventure on the highest level.

Classic Drucker: From the Pages of Harvard Business Review

4 reviews
Peter Ferdinand Drucker

Harvard Business School Press, 2008

Simplicity on the other side of complexity
To me, one of Peter Drucker's greatest strengths as a business thinker is his ability to cut to the proverbial "bone" when sharing an insight about an especially complicated subject. This unique talent illustrates what Oliver Wendell Holmes meant when observing that he didn't "care a fig about simplicity on this side of complexity" but greatly admired simplicity "on the other side of ...

Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Vol. 6

1 review
Haden Blackman, Thomas Andrews, ...

Dark Horse, 2006

Doesn't quite measure up to prior volumes
Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures is an ongoing series from Dark Horse comics that takes its inspiration from the extremely successful Clone Wars cartoon series. This inspiration is visible in both the short, action-packed nature of the stories as well as in the art style itself. Volume Six contains four new stories as follows: 1) "It Takes A Thief" - Saesee Tiin joins up with a local ...

Focus Groups in Social Research (Introducing Qualitative Methods series)

1 review
Michael Bloor, Jane Frankland, ...

Sage Publications Ltd, 2001

Academic, Not Practical
This book is good for academics that need a history of focus groups and a summary of research studies that investigate the technique itself. This is an interesting history, with many studies weighing in on what makes focus groups better or worse. But, as a practitioner, there is little that I found particularly new or insightful in the book. I think that Stewart's work is a better guide for ...

Jane Packer's World Flowers- incredible!
I saw Jane on "Martha Stewart" where she was talking about her work for the Duchess of York's wedding and i was hooked. World Flowers is one of the most incredible books available on floral design. Each chapter represents a different country-- and the influences and ideas as they apply to flowers. The best part-- she gives easy tips to create these arrangements on your own. imagine-- putting ...

Prediction: Science, Decision Making, and the Future of Nature

Island Press, 2000

The idea that predictive science can simplify the decision-making process by creating a clearer picture of the future is deeply appealing in principle, but deeply problematic in practice. Prediction offers a fascinating and wide-ranging look at the interdependent scientific, political, and social factors involved in using science-based predictions to guide policy making. Through ten detailed case studies, it explores society's efforts to ...

The Wealth of Knowledge: Intellectual Capital and the Twenty-first Century Organization

10 reviews
Thomas A. Stewart

Doubleday Business, 2003

Paying Attention to Truth is Profitable and Protective
Too many people will miss the core message of this book, which is about paying attention to truth and seeking out truth in the context of networks of trust, rather than about managing the process of internal knowledge. When the author says "It's time to gather the grain and torch the chaff," his book over-all tells me he is talking about brain-power and a culture of thinking (the grain) and ...
