Goodbye Stalin: A True Story of Wars, Escapes and Reinvention

9 reviews
Sigrid von Bremen Thomas

Durban House, 2007

Goodbye Stalin
Critically important book about life as experienced on the ground in Stalin's Eastern Europe before, during and after the Second World War. Few accounts are as gripping and life affirming. Well read. Would be great to read outloud to one's children for them to understand just how good most Americans have it today and how so many others have had to fight and survive for what we take for granted.

Always Change a Winning Team: Why Reinvention and Change Are the Prerequisites for Business Success

2 reviews
Peter Robertson

Cyan Communications, 2005

On to something new
A fresh, new approach to how people respond to change, individually and within organizational settings. Ethology, taking in Freud and Bolby's work, shows how it is not consequences, but security and "attachment" which will predict and help in the management of personnel. The catchy title takes in one application of this method and tool, that the composition of any team, whether athletic or ...

The Fabulous Reinvention of Sunday School: Transformational Techniques for Reaching and Teaching Kids

Zondervan, 2007

Refreshing, Inspiring,.. Fabulous!!!
I can think of only one word to sum up what I thought of this book: Fabulous! Honestly. Last week someone on my staff gave me this book. Although I have a creative streak, usually my administrative tendencies crowd out that part of my personality. Knowing that Willow Creek highly values and usually sets the standard on using the "arts" in ministry... I initially wasn't interested. I figured ...

Corporate University: The Right Way for a Change
Corporate university types should carefully read this book and apply all they can from it. Having been involved in several corporate university undertakings, in my opinion, what DAU accomplished is phenomenal and absolutely atypical. It's amazing what some--SOME--companies have the presumptuous audacity to call a corporate university. DAU is the real thing. You've got to have the courage to ...

War and National Reinvention: Japan in the Great War, 1914-1919 (Harvard East Asian Monographs)

3 reviews
Frederick R. Dickinson

Harvard University Asia Center, 2001

Extraordinary insights and a fascinating story
World War I, the event that changed everything in European and American history, left Japan little touched -- or so it had long been thought. Frederick Dickinson's book stands many accepted truths on their heads. But it is not a book of wooly revisionist speculation. All of his arguments and interpretations are carefully drawn and meticulously documented. All are thought-provoking and plausible, ...

The Power Of The Message!
David Johnston, IT Engineer, Silicon Valley - As an engineer from the Silicon Valley, who has been out of work for nearly nine months, and who is about to give up sending resumes and searching for jobs in this market, Reinvention came as a welcome relief.

Twice Dead: Organ Transplants and the Reinvention of Death (Public Anthropology)

1 review
Margaret Lock

University of California Press, 2001

A masterpiece of social research
Margaret Lock discusses how organ transplant interests fostered the notion of brain death in North America and Japan. Until recently, Japan did not accept brain death as a sufficient criterion of death, even when the Japanese had all the technology and medical skills to carry out organ transplantation. By contrasting the muted discussion about brain death in North America with the heated, well ...

Cheryl Odonovan

A Better Be Write Publisher, 2005

A first-rate giftbook especially for beloved mothers, aunts, and grandmothers with a hearty sense of humor.
Cartoonist Cheryl O'Donovan and satirist Tom Wolferman combine their talents in The Estrogen Underground: Join the Mid-Life Revolution, an irreverent, chuckle-inducing look at issues affecting over-40 women in today's society. From dealing with disinterested, dour, dazed or doofusy young male clerks ("Tell him Santa will bring him a plasma screen TV if he checks the inventory stock for you") to ...

Positive Results From Fred
In 2007, I had an organization that was struggling. As a HR professional, the company asked if I would conduct leadership training for the site. The class was small at only 4 participants so I was able to give them my full attention. As part of the curriculum, I included Mark Sanborn's book, The Fred Factor. One of the participants was really enthused about the book. Weeks and months ...

Hay House, 2007

Can't think of anyone who shouldn't read this!!
What a wonderful book--perfect for women (or men, for that matter--I passed it on to my husband!!) in any stage of their lives. I loved the gardening analogy--it really clicked with me. The exercises were so easy to do, and so eye-opening! I particularly appreciated the "values orbit"--genius! What a simple idea for such an important thing for all of us to do--prioritize our lives. Once I looked ...

DoubleDay, 1997

Great new look at modern American Indians
Fergus Bordewich does a fantastic job as he examined how the American Indians all over the United States are beginning to reinvent themselves, using the "white man's" methods to regained land control, increased in tribal power and regained the upper hand in their own destiny. The author does a good job explaining this as he traced the trouble past history of white-Indian relationship, he leaves ...

27 reviews

Maurice Bassett, 2007

So completely practical.
This guy is awesome. So practical, so direct. No condescension, no preaching. Zero chaff. 100% content. One (actual) example. I just pour out some hurt to my GF about my job. One client who is such a problem that if one our guys so much as *annoys* her, she could get a contract canceled that would get 4 of our guys laid off. An impossible to please person with a lot of power. So I tell my ...

View Finder: Mark Klett, Photography, and the Reinvention of Landscape

1 review
William L. Fox

University of New Mexico Press, 2001

This book does not include Klett's best desert photos.
The book under review gets FIVE stars, for its goal of spotlighting an American photographer. But the contents of the book was somewhat disappointing, and I think what is inside deserves only ONE star. In other words, although the goal of spotlighting a successful landscape photographer who uses a large format camera is admirable, it is questionable if the day to day traveling activities of ...

The Reinvention of Work: A New Vision of Livelihood for Our
The Reinvention of Work changed the way I view work. As a Career Counselor I realized new ways to work with clients. The book helps one go deeper into understanding what we are really all about in relationship to work. It is not a self-help book and does not profess to be one. The book helps us step outside of ourselves and to consider what is important to each of us in our work beyond the ...

Karen Angel

Wiley, 2002

Humorous and Informative
I like the style of the author, the reading is fun and humorous but it's full of information on how the Yahoo started and where it is heading now. I like the concept of Yang and Filo, giving to community first before making a profit. The book is definitely a keep for files and future example when building a community websites which i am now.
