RENEW: The Day We Solve All Our Problems20 reviews
E. R. Marks

Serendipity Press, Inc., 2003

To Serve Man...
This incredible book reminded me of the old Twilight Zone story where a stranger comes into town with only a book in his hand. He seems to be a wise man because he has unique and interesting ideas. The townsfolk however become worried that the man and his book might come from some alien world. Without even wondering what the book is about, they punish him and the ending is not a good one for ...

Mark Albion

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2006

Really good book on building a values-based business.
This book gives good insight on how to build a successful business that goes beyond just profitability. Mark Albion describes how to strike a balance between personal values, profitability, corporate social responsibility, and environmental contributions by what he calls the "five values-based leadership practices". I do recommend this book to those interested in learning the characteristics of ... 		  
  







  
  
Creating a World without Poverty: How Social Business Can Transform Our Lives21 reviews
Muhammad Yunus, Karl Weber

Blackstone Audio Inc., 2008

Social Business, a concept that can save this world
When I bought this book, my expectations were primarily to get a deeper insight into micro credit, since Prof Yunus is best known for this powerful means for empowering the poor to free themselves from the shackles of poverty. However, from the first chapter itself, it was abundantly cleat that this book is about the novel concept of Social Business, a paradigm shift in the way we look at ... 		  
  







  
  
Saving the Corporate Soul--and (Who Knows?) Maybe Your Own17 reviews
David Batstone

Jossey-Bass, 2003

Excellent and Essential Advice
David Batstone's excellent book on corporate integrity is a must-read for executives and managers who want ideas on how to create profitable but soulful businesses that show heart as well as logic. This is not a text that preaches from the pulpit or revels in moral condemnation of Enron's misdeeds. For those of us who are sick to the teeth of reading Enron/Anderson post-mortems, Batstone's book ...

Anne Mazer

Anson Y.'s book review. HK.< I HATE rollerblades! >
This is a great book, although I HATE to play rollerblade. Abby planned a garage sale and save money to buy herself some rollerblades with purple wheels!( Purple was Abby's favourite colour. So am I!) P.S.:Question:Do people actually save money to buy rollerblades?I wonder who. Before the garage sale, Abby did many things, but she only got a few dollars. So at the gargage sale, she earned ...

Discipline Without Stress Punishments or Rewards : How Teachers and Parents Promote Responsibility & Learning19 reviews
Marvin L. Marshall

Piper Press, 2001

No More Class Store or Missed Recess
I purchased this book after an extremely challenging year of behavior problems in first grade. As a teacher who had previous success using rewards (giving plastic money that could be redeemed in a class store) and punishment (taking away recess time), this new class had so many problems that nothing seemed to work! During the summer, I read everything on behavior management I could find in ... 		  
  







  
  
Shadow Club, The19 reviews
Neil Shusterman

Yearling, 1990

My favorite book to read aloud
I have been reading the Shadow Club to my 7th graders for more than 10 years. The humor, especially in the character of Ralphy Sherman, keeps the class listening. The suspense builds to the point that I have students begging me not to stop reading. Many students tried to buy the book because they just couldn't wait for me to finish reading. I was happy for a few years that it was out of print, ...

Love and Responsibility19 reviews
Paul, II John

Farrar Straus Giroux, 1981

This Book Changed my Life. Tolle, Lege.
This is a poetically dangerous book. I first read it some ten years ago, just after having graduated college, when I was emerging from my adolescent decadence & skepticism.. I was searching for understanding, for faith. The thought herein is so limpidly potent it made me high, like great poetry. It radically changed my thought & heart for good. For better. It made me actually embrace the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Moral Compass of the American Lawyer12 reviews
Richard A. Zitrin, Carol M. Langford

Ballantine Books, 1999

A clear, engrossing, and important commentary on lawyering.
I am a paralegal, and have worked in the legal field for 23 years. I could not put this book down. I have been talking about it since I turned the pages of the first chapter. I recommend it to everyone; I plan to read it again, and when it is not in use, I place it in plain sight of the lawyers with whom I work. Langford and Zitrin have written an important commentary about the practice of ...

Xephor Press, 2004

Two "Loops": Which to select?
I just read this book as well as the more recently published Creating the Accountable Organization and highly recommend both. Now more than ever before, the issue of personal accountability is critically important to all organizations (regardless of size or nature) and will become even more important in years to come. In this volume, Samuel and Chiche present a number of insights whose ... 		  
  







  
  
Living Like Ed: A Guide to the Eco-friendly Life15 reviews
Ed, Jr. Begley, 2008

What I like best about this book.
"Living Like Ed" contains product information and company names. I am trying to figure out how to run an air conditioner without paying the electric company. I think a wind turbine and a dc to ac converter will do the trick better than solar panels because the wind blows even when the sun does not shine. If I get this to work, I'll write another review for this book. Barbara

I strongly recommend this book to everyone. 		  
  







  
  
Teamwork Is an Individual Skill: Getting Your Work Done When Sharing Responsibility12 reviews
Christopher M. Avery, Meri Aaron Walker, ...

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2001

The first sentence floored me
The book entitled "Teamwork is an Individual Skill" is quite interesting. I work at a large semi-conductor manufacturer as a non-exempt fab technician on a self managed team on night shift. I am the most experienced and capable person on my team, yet with all of my background I have come to realize how relatively little influence I often have on team performance, and on my ability to push the ... 		  
  







  
  
Value Leadership: The 7 Principles that Drive Corporate Value in Any Economy10 reviews
Peter S. Cohan

Jossey-Bass, 2003

Common sense comes to business leadership. A great and a pra
It has been my experience that most business leaders are smart, thoughtful, competent and ethical people. I have also met those who `live and die by the numbers' or conversely see their major responsibility as building a `culture where the business can thrive'. Both sides of this leadership spectrum have great value but when a leader chooses to focus on one side it is at the expense of the ... 		  
  







  
  
Consciousness In Action: The Power Of Beauty, Love And Courage In A Violent Time13 reviews
Andrew Beath

Lantern Books, 2005

Social change begins with changing myself first
A beautiful book. Andrew Beath touches powerfully upon the profound truth that the most positive and lasting social change begins at home, within ourselves. He addresses the nonduality of reality, in that what we experience in the external world is truly not separate from what we experience internally. Mr. Beath gives 7 concrete steps for creating an environment of compassion and sustainability ...

How to Cut Your Legal Bills in Half: A Guide to Reclaiming America's Promise : Affordable Justice for All10 reviews
Hugo N. Gerslt, Hugo Gerstl

Millennium Books, 1999

THIS BOOK SAYS IT ALL -- AND CLEARLY!
As a former law office manager in a one person office, I can attest to the fact that what Mr. Gerstl says really goes on in a law office; and that lawyers, who are always pressed for time, cut corners where they can, and have to delay things so they can get SOMETHING done. His horror story is unfortunately very real. More important, his idea of mediation really does work. The book is easy ...
