The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

29 reviews
Marc Levinson

Princeton University Press, 2008

Great overview of how containers changed the way we live.
Levinson does an excellent job of describing life before the container and how its introduction was a catalyst for vast socio-economic changes. I like the way he carved up the book into manageable pieces where each chapter examined one aspect of these changes: ports, unions, dockworkers, etc. Drawback is that some photos, graphs, etc should have been included to illustrate some of Levinson's ...

So helpful
I know more about marketing having read this book then I could have learned in any number of courses. By the way anyone in the people business can benefit from this insight. Think Two Products Ahead was even better than I expected.

A Quest for More: Living for Something Bigger Than You

4 reviews
Paul David Tripp

New Growth Press, 2007

Are you the king of wishful thinking?
There are few writers whose star seems to rise and rise as they turn out book after book. Paul David Tripp is one of those writers. Tripp has been positively prolific in the last few years, with three books either authored or co-authored in 2006 and 2007 alone. Every Paul Tripp book has become an instant classic in Reformed biblical counseling circles, and each release is anticipated more than ...

Love these books

Exercising the Penis: How to Make Your Most Prized Organ Bigger, Harder & Healthier (Penis Enlargement)

CreateSpace, 2008

Thank You, Mother.
I received this book, on my birthday, from my mother. She says she picked it up, wrapped it, and presented it to me in front of all my friends, pets, teachers, enemies, monks, lawyers, tubbies, Grandmas, etc. as an "accident." According to mother, she thought it was a used copy of "Teste Stretch-30 days to longer nuts" by Dr. Dinko Plastic-but I'm not sure if either of these books are appropriate ...

Mine's Bigger: Tom Perkins and the Making of the Greatest Sailing Machine Ever Built

9 reviews
David A. Kaplan

William Morrow, 2007

Smooth sailing (at least for the reader)
"Mine's Bigger" reacquaints us with Tom Perkins, to whom author David A. Kaplan had previously introduced us as one of the leading venture capitalists behind "The Silicon Boys". What follows is the story the "Maltese Falcon", the greatest sailing vessel ever built, a tale in which Perkins is no less driven (and, some might say, no more sane) than the seafaring protagonists of Melville and ...

Excellent book

Jeff Biggers

Shoemaker & Hoard, 2007

Great Read
I saw this author at the Virginia Book Festival. He is a terrific speaker. I sat spellbound for all of his presentation--or reading. The book, I was afraid, might let me down, but it didn't. It is as inspiring as Biggers' speaking style. In it, the author peels off one incredible story after another--most of which I had never heard before--from the time of the Cherokee and their Renaissance ...

Paula Scher

Princeton Architectural Press, 2005

A Must for Those Who Need to Understand Working with Clients
Too often designers see their own result(s) and design solutions without the knowledge of the 'client process' . . . a truly remarkable reality in this business. ALL design students should be made aware of this aspect of the profession, possibly even before seriously considering if one wants to be a designer. There is so much more to it than having an 'AHA' on one's own. Ms. Scher has presented ...

Richard A. Wright

Harper Perennial, 1998

Unnerving
As many reviews document, some readers like this book while other dislike it. The reality of the situation may not be whether one likes the book so much as whether the book has the ability to disturb you. It is tough to like the main character. Yet most will have trouble identifying with the rich class that manipulates the system and Bigger's life. The story may be best described as ...

The Laws of Lifetime Growth: Always Make Your Future Bigger Than Your Past (Bk Life)

25 reviews
Dan Sullivan, Catherine Nomura

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2007

A Companion for Life
One of the fascinating things about self-help books is the multitude of styles that authors use to contribute to the field. Some books take a single area and drill down deep; while others cover the waterfront, but in less depth. And, some books stretch ones thinking by the volume of thoughts presented; while others create value by providing an easily remembered analytical framework. This book ...

It's Bigger Than Hip Hop: The Rise of the Post-Hip-Hop Generation

3 reviews
M.K. Asante Jr.

St. Martin's Press, 2008

BRILLIANT
The title says it all. This book is a brilliant document of 21st century Black thought and life. I especially dug the combination of scholarship, poetry, creative non-fiction, analysis, conscious rap lyrics and LOVE that the author transfers through the page. All of these elements are needed when dealing with the huge issues he tackles in this book. This is not another dry academic hip hop book ...

Mark I. Pinsky

Westminster John Knox Press, 2007

Fantastic book ESPECIALLY for Christians.
I am an Orthodox Christian, and as conservative as we are, I recommend this book to ALL Christians. I've been watching the Simpsons since it started, and only after i read this book did i realise how "Christian" this cartoon really is. Some examples: - There is a God. - He does deal with humans directly and answers our prayers. - He really does love us. - Good people (e.g. Ned Flanders) are ...

Curious George Bigger and Smaller Lift-the-Flap Board Book (Curious George)

1 review
Editors of Houghton Mifflin Company

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

Terrific book
This is one of my two year old's favorite Curious George books. It is not a traditional lift the flap book -- the flaps unfold progressively. So, when the page is discussing size, you first see George who is labeled small. Then you see Betsy, who is labeled big. Then you unfold again and see Bill, labeled bigger. Finally you unfold to the Man with the Yellow Hat, labeled biggest. It is fun for ...
