10 reviews
Susan Bixler, Lisa Scherrer Dugan

Adams Media, 2000

Great Book for Group Discussion
I am a partner in an accounting firm. We bought a copy of this book for every member of the firm and use it as a discussion aid. One morning each week our staff meets to discuss one chapter. The author has some unique insights and some just common sense concepts. Our staff appears to embrace the book as well. I recommend this for every serious business professional.

Cultural Boundaries of Science: Credibility on the Line

2 reviews
Thomas F. Gieryn

University Of Chicago Press, 1999

A fascinating analysis of the cultural authority of science.
In modern cultures, science holds undisputed tenure over the adjudication of knowledge and pseudo-knowledge. Given its epistemological authority, it would seem that the demarcation of the scientific domain from less credible areas of knowledge would follow a universally defined set of criteria. Not so, says Thomas Gieryn in "Cultural Boundaries of Science." To be sure, Gieryn investigates ...

Calculating Credibility: How Leaders Assess Military Threats (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs)
Daryl G. Press

Cornell University Press, 2007

Calculating Credibility examines--and ultimately rejects--a fundamental belief held by laypeople and the makers of American foreign policy: the notion that backing down during a crisis reduces a country's future credibility. Fear of diminished credibility motivated America's costly participation in the Korean and Vietnam wars, and, since the end of the Cold War, this concern has continued to guide American policy decisions. Daryl G. ...

Science in Public: Communication, Culture, and Credibility
Jane Gregory, Steve Miller

Basic Books, 2000

Does the general public need to understand science? And if so, is it scientists' responsibility to communicate? Critics have argued that, despite the huge strides made in technology, we live in a "scientifically illiterate" society--one that thinks about the world and makes important decisions without taking scientific knowledge into account. But is the solution to this "illiteracy" to deluge the layman with scientific information? Or does ...

A Leader's Legacy

James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner

Jossey-Bass, 2006

This book offers both a window and a mirror.
In twenty-one separate but related essays that comprise this volume, James Kouzes and Barry Posner share their thoughts about the positive and enduring impact that an effective leader can have. The nature and extent of each effective leader's legacy, of course, varies from one to another. While reading the Introduction and then the first few chapters, I began to think about great leaders ...

Value-Added Public Relations: The Secret Weapon of Integrated Marketing

12 reviews
Thomas L. Harris

McGraw-Hill, 1999

Valuable, But Not Up-To-Date
Value-Added Public Relations argues that public relations are key to any successful marketing campaign. The book predominantly rests its premise on the belief that public relations adds credibility, and, thus, "value" to the marketing campaign. While I know plenty of marketing executives are unhappy about admitting it, I'm not sure I would call it a secret weapon. The book is loaded with ...

Tony Simons

Jossey-Bass, 2008

Well-written, and completely applicable to current events...
Quite often I'll read a book that I think is very well done, with truths that resonate with me. But less often do I find that book at a time when it fits so well with current events. One such book is The Integrity Dividend: Leading by the Power of Your Word by Tony Simons. As we watch corporations and financial systems crumble under the weight of unethical and dishonest actions, Simons ...

The Genesis 'Gap Theory': Its Credibility and Consequences

1 review
Michael, W. J. Phelan

Twoedged Sword Publications, 2005

Concise and well written
I have for years believed in the gap theory. Without question, absolving the knowledge from many christain ministers and writers. I did no study on this until now. After a long search for a book that actually talks about the gap and what happened, I picked this book. But the author approaches the topic with an open mind, examining arguements for and against the existence of the gap. I will not ...

Springer, 1996

The first three contributions concern optics and industry in 19th century Germany; the fourth concerns electric standards in Germany during the same period; the last essay in the volume examines a curious development in the early history of wireless signalling that took place ...

Creating Credibility: Legitimacy and Accountability for Transnational Civil Society
L. David Brown

Kumarian Press, 2008

In many countries, civil society organizations (CSOs) are more trusted by the general public than businesses and government. Business leaders might maximize their profits at the expense of the business or its customers, and government officials might use their power for their own gain, but CSOs depend on their good reputations and performance in order to mobilize resources. They have fewer opportunities to convert resources into self-interested ...

A Sensational Approach to Marketing
I sent for this book out of curiosity because my marketing efforts were not generating the results I had hoped for. Reading it in just two nights I constantly felt tutored by a master strategist who consistently identified the marketing efforts I had been making for my company and then succinctly pointed out why they simply were inadequate in clear, concise terms that, after reading his ...

Once I started reading, I just couldn't put this book down. This book will challenge you, cause you to smile, ...
