The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008

Product Description

As violence in Iraq reaches unnerving levels in 2006, a second front in the war rages at the highest levels of the Bush administration. In his fourth book on President George W. Bush, Bob Woodward takes readers deep inside the tensions, secret debates, unofficial backchannels, distrust and determination within the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the intelligence agencies and the U.S. military headquarters in Iraq. With unparalleled intimacy and detail, this gripping account of a president at war describes a period of distress and uncertainty within the U.S. government from 2006 through mid-2008.

The White House launches a secret strategy review that excludes the military. General George Casey, the commander in Iraq, believes that President Bush does not understand the war and eventually concludes he has lost the presidents confidence. The Joint Chiefs of Staff also conduct a secret strategy review that goes nowhere. On the verge of revolt, they worry that the military will be blamed for a failure in Iraq.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice strongly opposes a surge of additional U.S. forces and confronts the president, who replies that her suggestions would lead to failure. The president keeps his decision to fire Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld from Vice President Dick Cheney until two days before he announces it. A retired Army general uses his high-level contacts to shape decisions about the war, as Bush and Cheney use him to deliver sensitive messages outside the chain of command.

For months, the administrations strategy reviews continue in secret, with no deadline and no hurry, in part because public disclosure would harm Republicans in the November 2006 elections. National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley tells Rice, "Weve got to do it under the radar screen because the electoral season is so hot."

The War Within provides an exhaustive account of the struggles of General David Petraeus, who takes over in Iraq during one of the bleakest and most violent periods of the war. It reveals how breakthroughs in military operations and surveillance account for much of the progress as violence in Iraq plummets in the middle of 2007.

Woodward interviewed key players, obtained dozens of never-before-published documents, and had nearly three hours of exclusive interviews with President Bush. The result is a stunning, firsthand history of the years from mid-2006, when the White House realizes the Iraq strategy is not working, through the decision to surge another 30,000 U.S. troops in 2007, and into mid-2008, when the war becomes a fault line in the presidential election.

The War Within addresses head-on questions of leadership, not just in war but in how we are governed and the dangers of unwarranted secrecy.

This is the concluding volume on Woodwards account of the Bush administration and it represents a significant departure from the way that this team was represented in the first and second books. Here all the chickens appear to have come home to roost and it is not a pretty picture. Conflict brings out the best and worst in people. In this book there is plenty of the latter and often too little of the former.

The portrait of the president is interesting. After reading Woodwards book I cannot imagine a more unpleasant event than to actually meet George W. Bush. I have never been a fan, but the portrait that Woodward draws here is one of a man who is at times boorish, profoundly ignorant and seemingly incapable of critical thought. Bush is eager to associate himself with past chief executives who were "war presidents" such as Washington, Lincoln and FDR. One should bear in mind that Buchanan was also a "war president" and this is the person who he seems to bear the greatest resemblance. The primary difference is that where Buchanan, even as secretary of state was too cautious, Bush was too rash. He appears to be convinced, for no apparent reason that he will prevail merely because he was convinced of the correctness of his course. Right may make right, but to prevail one needs to come up with a strategy that will work and not be unafraid to change course. Woodward cites Bushs failure to lead, I would add that he also demonstrates a failure to think.

This book is not a kind of non-fiction "Vanity Fair," which was subtitled "the novel without a hero." There are plenty of heroic and dedicated individuals in the book. General Petraeus is probably the person who comes off the best. In the previous books this role was filled by Colin Powell whose views are cited at the beginning of the book and who is as usual correct in his analysis of the situation. If I had to critique this book for any negative reason, I wish Woodward would have interviewed Colin Powell and even Rumsfield as he did Bush and Rice for the summing up chapter.

Another person who is particularly compelling is Col. (now General) H.R. McMaster. In some respects the statements made by this member of the armed forces filled the role that Colin Powell did in previous volumes. He always has a good sense of what was necessary and ground truth on the situation. Not only is he a hero from the 1991 war in Iraq, but he is also shown as an outstanding strategic thinker. I think that his book on Kennedy, Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs, and Vietnam probably is essential reading and probably something that might be read in conjunction with this series by Woodward. I was very happy to learn that McMasters was promoted in Sept 2008 and hope that he has a long career with the military. The nation needs people such as McMaster to lead.

In conclusion, this is outstanding book, somewhat scary in terms of how the government operates and how individuals can avoid responsibility. It is worth reading by every citizen interested in the war in Iraq and how we gotten to where we are.

Great.
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
This is Woodwards fourth book on the Bush Presidency at war. Its also, I thought, the best. As with all of Woodwards books, the reader is left to wonder how exactly Woodward acquired all of his insider information. However, it is clear he had access to the biggest players involved in the Bush Administrations efforts in Iraq. He obviously interviewed the most important people. Any criticisms from the pro-Bush crowd can be offered if those insiders feel so inclined. The White House itself issued a rebuttal of sorts, but still it seems that the bulk of Woodwards reporting has gone unchallenged. That may well be because those who know inside stuff cannot talk about it, but thats the way it goes in a democracy that treasures civil liberties and press freedoms. Whiners need not run for office (nor should anyone try to stop anyone else from whining). We can either not have the Woodward book, or we can have it with the understanding that there are likely certain inaccuracies. Ill take the latter, hands down. Those who had their mitts in devising poorly thought-out plans will have their shot at offering other perspectives (see Feith, Bolten, etc.)
This book covers the Bush Administration from early 2006 until about mid 2008. We see the President try to deal with the increasing problems that were evident in Iraq, problems that contradicted President Bushs overly optimistic public statements. We also see the efforts of those in the Pentagon, State Department, and in Iraq as they tried to come up with a strategy to address the increasing violence. As we mostly now know, the "surge" and elements often incorrectly associated with that title have reduced the violence in Iraq. What we havent known about, and what we hope Woodward is accurate about, are the discussions, arguments, etc., that went into coming up with the surge. Fascinating stuff. People of all political persuasions can take comfort in knowing that the smartest people in the world of every ideology were hard at work on the problem and all were striving with good intentions. (Certainly, good intentions do not ensure good policy and may at times encourage foolhardy policies.)
When all is said and done, Woodward offers his thoughts on President Bushs war leadership, and Woodward makes a strong case for weak war leadership. Ultimately, Bush knew things werent going well and was lying to the American people when he claimed all was well. He should have trusted the American people at an earlier stage of the war. Perhaps the Washington clock would have had a longer run time. The President should have also been more honest with himself. Contrary to claims of the right, the media was more accurate about the state of Iraq than the President was, and it seems that the President willed himself to believe things that were simply untrue. Who paid the price for those huge mistakes? He did to a small degree: his place in history will likely be among the lower ranked of our presidents. At best, he can hope for below average. We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam was a threat to us, and we believed Saddam was a threat because we believed he had WMDs. We now know we were wrong, and "the Decider" bears the most blame for that mistake. It was his call, and he got it wrong. Perhaps worse is that the US plan for winning there was disgracefully off the mark in every regard. From the initial invasion until final implementation of the surge, the Bush team made mistake after mistake, and history has recorded those facts. But those who paid the ultimate price for those mistakes are our brave servicemen and women and lots of Iraqis.
Personally, I dont view George W. Bush as an evil man. His intentions were pure, but pure intentions... Also, though the US effort was in disarray in 2006, and although we know who is ultimately responsible for that tragic state of affairs, perhaps the best that can be said of President Bush is that he may have been the one man who could have made the surge the reality it needed to be because of his own mistakes. Time will tell, but the time that has passed so far is not flattering to President Bush, and Woodward writes about it in captivating detail.

Right Time, Right Place

I must have been in the right state of mind because I loved this book! This is Bob Woodwards 4th book on the presidency of George W. Bush and like the first 3, The War Within takes you behind the scenes of the White House and the political/military players between 2006 and 2008 when the war in Iraq seemed to get worse every day.

Woodward explores the secrecy of a White House not wanted to show the American public its problems. The war was a mess and no one had a plan. Woodward doesnt come across as someone who is politically motivated to smear the President. In the epilogue he does promote his other books which I found tiresome, but he waits until the very end to express his own opinions on the story.

Whether you support President Bush or not, this book takes you where the decisions, arguments, and discussions took place without the public knowing. It gives just a taste of how this administration worked...or failed to work.

One of the reasons why I really enjoyed this book was because of the place I am in. I was connecting with the ideas behind it. I was looking at it from a leadership standpoint. What do you do when a plan is not working, in fact its doing the opposite?

This book will not be for everyone. I know there are many people who could care less about government and politics and thats fine. But since this is my blog and I read this book, I decided to post it and let you know that it was a good read.

It has a few pictures so some of you may enjoy that part of it!

This book is a great continuation of the Bush Presidency series and is a must read for anyone who follows White House and Washington political exploits. The book like Woodwards prior, reads fast and captures the urgency of the moment. Bobs books are a "Must Have" in any political enthusiasts library.

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I am a sucker for a book about the inner workings of a Presidency, the good Presidencies the bad Presidencies, the good books the bad books. There is some talk about quotes in the book not being accurate and that is typical of all such books, it is hard to get a straight quote without someone coloring it, the ones that said it or someone else, so I always take direct quotes with a grain of salt. Some thought Woodward is over critical of Bush, I like Bush and I didnt see that, the inside is always ugly, there are decisions and big egos, always has been and always will be. People that make light of the Presidency have no idea how hard that job is, especially during war time when you have to make decisions that affect the actual life and death of your soldiers and the affects on their families. I find it hard to believe that any President would take that responsibility lightly. My wife picked this up for me, she knows it is the kind of book I enjoy, so I cant say that made a big decision to buy the book. For someone that was suppose to have a closed Presidency, Bush was sure open and generous with his time with Woodward, someone that isnt always his biggest supporter. I suspect there is more truth in this book than fiction and Woodward is easy to read. I am not going to get into the nuts and bolts of the book, others have done that eloquently. I will say, if your the kind of person that likes to read a book about the inside workings of Government and the White House in particular you will like this book for all its warts. I will never check back here for comments, so if you have one, email me barrym@tds.net

Transform the Your Bored, Uncaring "Generation Why" Young Workforce into a Powerhouse of Performers and Innovators

According to the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs, by 2012 there will be a shortage of more than two million front-line service workers in retail sales, customer service, and food preparation. Only a fraction of the restless Generation Y workers who typically fill these positions stay with their employer longer than a year! Dubbed "kidployees," these 16- to 24-year-olds share an entirely different set of values, expectations, and skills that must be reckoned with if youre among the millions of business owners and managers in America.

In Getting Them to Give a Damn, nationally recognized Generation Y expert Eric Chester shows readers how to hire, train, manage, and motivate a workforce that wont blindly conform to traditional standards and time-honored company policies and standards. Chester reveals the management techniques that leading-edge employers are using to get these quirky, book-smart, and streetwise kidployees to contribute in innovative and entrepreneurial ways.

Answers to the, "Whats in it for me?" question are relevant to more than just Chesters "Kidployees" - youth who have come of age in the late 90 and beyond these answers are required for virtually every employee and this book delivers practical, relevant, everyday applicable, ways to answer that question with your employees. Reflecting common sense, as well as a sense of humor, Chester delivers means and methods to address front-line workers all important needs for purpose, identity, and accountability. From CEO to front-line supervisor, this easy to read, enjoyable book will provide countless ideas for making that all important, bottom-line, performance connection with your staff.

From the section on "How to Attract Them", to "How to Keep Them", to "How to Connect with Them", Chester will hold your interest with his logic, humor, and common sense ideas for respecting, motivating, and holding them accountable. If you are responsible for managing more than one (yourself) employee, give this book a try. I highly recommend it.

I was often puzzled by employees in their early 20s. They brought different values, expectations and skills to the workplace. My job was to teach them the service ethic, to keep them long enough to get the benefit of my training efforts and keep them motivated to put in a good days work.
This book addresses those issues. Any employer today needs to inform themselves on how to deal with this age group.

Boomers, X-ers, and Other Strangers: Understanding/Generational Differences/Divide Us

Product Description

Ever wonder why your kids, parents, and even coworkers think and feel so differently than you do on core issues? Rick and Kathy Hicks contend and demonstrate that many of our core values are shaped largely by what was going on in our culture and world when we were about ten years old. By recognizing the factors that give rise to our own values and those of other generations, we can achieve greater mutual understanding and reconciliation with our children, peers, and coworkers, rather than finding ourselves in conflict. An effective tool for bridging the generation gap.

Builders vs. Everyone Else?
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :2
The authors bring out a few interesting points, but this book seems to be aimed towards reconciliation between builders (pre WW2 generation) and the rest of us. It paints a picture of each generation that could at best be called cartoonish. At worst, the picture painted is stereotypical generalizations drawn from a world where everyone is white and generations are easily classified. The chief problem with this book is its age. It fails to paint an accurate picture of todays generational divides due to its age.

This book does create some interesting thoughts, but would be most useful in an aging church that is trying to change its mission to include younger generations.

Ultimately unsatisfying
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :10
This book has a few pieces of useful information ... but overall there are many much better books out there about generations and how they differ (e.g., Generation Me, When Generations Collide, Generations). The authors take a spattering of information from other sources (they are not researchers or policy makers themselves), tell a few narratives, and thats about it. You are much better off buying another book on generations.

Also, notice the publisher: Focus on the Family. Thus the book is written from an explictly stated Christian perspective. For some readers this might be a bonus others might be put off by this in a book that is not about religion.

A History of Change and Values in America
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :2
It was very helpful to explain generational differences using a decade analysis approach. Stories and conversations used to illustrate the socio-economic and technological changes for each decade were also helpful in giving the reader a better understanding of how much impact each decade has on our values and perspectives. Although the authors base their assumptions that character and personality are determined around age 10, his theoretical model is quite accurate in helping assess each decade.If I dont give it a 5 it is because in my opinion the book does not reveal any new facts not explored before that talk about generational differences. The differences between Baby Boomers and other generations have been a long-discussed topic. Nevertheless, the fact that they bothered discussing each decade and its impact on values in America is engaging and invites for further discussion on this issue.

Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :6
I agree with the previous reviewer who wrote of the guilt trip that this book gives to working mothers. I am an Australian who is residing in the USA, and I am shocked and appalled at the American attitude towards working mothers. In Australia it is the norm for women to pursue careers and work in fulltime jobs, whether they are single, married, de facto, mothers, young, old, whatever. Childcare is a policy issue for government, is often subsidised, and considered imperative for the growth of the economy and the wellbeing of the community. What assistance does the American government give to working mothers?! How does the American media portray mothers of Generation X?! The attitude here is so far behind it is laughable. For American authors to claim authority over subjects such as Generation X and its place on the world stage, they will need to update their ideas and look to other societies as well as their own.

Darfur A 21st Century Genocide Third Edition Crises in World Politics
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 4.0
Review: 11
Studio: Cornell University Press
Praise for the 2005 Edition-- "A passionate and highly readable account of the current tragedy that combines intimate knowledge of the region's history, politics, and sociology with a telling cynicism about the polite but ineffectual diplomatic efforts to end it. It is the best account available of the Darfur crisis."--Foreign Affairs "Does the conflict in Darfur, however bloody, qualify as genocide? Or does the application of the word 'genocide' to Darfur make it harder to understand this conflict in its awful peculiarity? Is it possible that applying a generic label to Darfurian violence makes the task of stopping it harder? Or is questioning the label simply insensitive, implying that whatever has happened in Darfur isn't horrible enough to justify a claim on the world's conscience, and thus invite inaction or even the dismissal of Darfur altogether? These questions lie at the heart of a much-needed new book by Gerard Prunier. In Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide, Prunier casts aside labels and lays bare the anatomy of the Darfur crisis, drawing on a mixture of history and journalism to produce the most important book of the year on any African subject."--Salon.com "The emergency in Darfur in western Sudan is far from over, as GÃ©rard Prunier points out in this comprehensive and authoritative book. . . . He concisely covers the history, the conflicts, and the players. . . . Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide is essential for anyone wanting to learn about this complex conflict."--Library Journal "If Darfuris are Muslim, what is their quarrel with the Islamic government in Khartoum? If they and the janjaweed-'evil horsemen'-driving them from their homes are both black, how can it be Arab versus African? If the Sudanese government is making peace with the south, why would it be risking that by waging war in the west? Above all, is it genocide? GÃ©rard Prunier has the answers. An ethnographer and renowned Africa analyst, he turns on the evasions of Khartoum the uncompromising eye that dissected Hutu power excuses for the Rwanda genocide a decade ago."--The Guardian Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide explains what lies behind the conflict in Western Sudan, how it came about, why it is should not be oversimplified, and why it is so relevant to the future of Africa. As the world watches, governments decide if, when, and how to intervene, and international organizations struggle to distribute aid, GÃ©rard Prunier's book provide crucial assistance. The third edition features a new chapter covering events through mid-2008.

The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa National and Ethnic Conflict in the 21st Century
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 4.0
Review: 11
Studio: University of Pennsylvania Press
Endowed with natural resources, majestic bodies of fresh water, and a relatively mild climate, the Great Lakes region of Central Africa has also been the site of some of the world's bloodiest atrocities. In Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, decades of colonial subjugation--most infamously under Belgium's Leopold II--were followed by decades of civil warfare that spilled into neighboring countries. When these conflicts lead to horrors such as the 1994 Rwandan genocide, ethnic difference and postcolonial legacies are commonly blamed, but, with so much at stake, such simple explanations cannot take the place of detailed, dispassionate analysis.The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa provides a thorough exploration of the contemporary crises in the region. By focusing on the historical and social forces behind the cycles of bloodshed in Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, RenÃ© Lemarchand challenges much of the conventional wisdom about the roots of civil strife in former Belgian Africa. He offers telling insights into the appalling cycle of genocidal violence, ethnic strife, and civil war that has made the Great Lakes region of Central Africa the most violent in the continent, and sheds new light on the dynamics of conflict in the region.Building on a full career of scholarship and fieldwork, Lemarchand's analysis breaks new ground in our understanding of the complex historical forces that continue to shape the destinies of one of Africa's most important regions.

If your workplace feels like a battle zone and colleagues sometimes act like adversaries, you ore not alone. Today four generations glare at one another across the conference table, and the potential for conflict and confusion has never been greater. Traditionalist employees with their "heads down, onward and upward" attitude live out a work ethic shaped during the Great Depression. Eighty million Baby Boomers vacillate between their overwhelming need to succeed and their growing desire to slow down and enjoy life. Generation Xers try to prove themselves constantly yet dislike the image of being overly ambitious, disrespectful, and irreverent. Millennials, new to the workforce, mix savvy with social conscience and promise to further change the business landscape. This insightful book provides hands-on methods to close the generation gaps. With effective tools to recruit, retain, motivate, and manage each generation, you can now create teamwork, not war, in today's highperformance workplace . . . where at any age, productivity is what counts.

Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :1
I think the fellow below got it a bit wrong, this is not a full-length album but a mini-CD, sort of a preview of Darkwells next full-length, so there are only six songs here. And, the multi-media track wasnt fully cooperative on my computer, but its there, and mainly features videos of the two live versions of the songs from Suspiria which appear on this CD (it was interesting seeing the band live, but somebody seemed to have had a little too much fun with some special effects which sadly detracted from the videos a bit... Id say you arent missing out on a whole lot if you cant see the multimedia track, dont lose any sleep over it.)

I didnt feel quite as "comfortable" with this CD as I do with Suspiria, it really doesnt feel quite complete in the production or something, which keeps me from rating it any higher, which is a shame because I like the band, the new songs show great promise, and the live vocals were amazing - I didnt know what to expect, but Alexandras voice sounds at least as good live as it does on Suspiria.

No, this isnt another Suspiria, nor was it meant to be, but Id hardly call it a complete rip-off or anything. Based on what I hear on this disc, I look forward to the full-length, especially because of "The Crucible" and "Twist in My Sobriety", which are at least as strong as anything from Suspiria.

An energetic CD with 2 bonus videos
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I really liked this CD. Its run-time was just over 30 minutes but it had 5 new tracks from one of the best new Goth-Metal bands out there. The live performances of the Salvation and Realm of Darkness were excellent. The Bonus Multimedia Tracks can be accessed through a computers CD-Rom drive. They are videos of the Salvation and Realm of Darkness. Suspira was a Goth-Metal CD with heavy guitars and a singer with classical voice training. Conflict of Interest continues the tradition.

Now, I really liked Suspiria, but it shows that they put little effort into Conflict.. mainly because there are only 5 or 6 new songs on it, which are all just average. Maybe Im just imaginning it, but thier Bonus Multimedia Track is oddly missing. Do they count her saying thank you to the crowd as Multimedia? Eh, you cant expect much from a bunch of goth kids who look like they recently got out of high school...

Dou Donggo Justice Conflict and Morality in an Indonesian Society
Binding: Paperback
Studio: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.
This study of justice and morality among the Dou Donggo, a highland people in Indonesia, offers an innovative approach to understanding the workings of law and dispute settlement in small communities. Peter Just argues that the operation of any legal system is best understood in the context of its moral ontology: the fundamental culture assumptions that the people have about the nature of the world, the beings that inhabit it, and their relationships to one another, as well as ideas about causation, liability, etc. The author takes Dou Donggo beliefs in evil spirits and tutelary gods, theories of conception and bodily humors, and the magical powers of judges who are also healers and links them to the guiding principles and day-to-day operation of a consensual system of justice. The first part of the book provides contextualizing material on current debates about ethnography and the anthropology of law, a lively account of the author's field experiences, and a history of the Dou Donggo. Two subsequent chapters use anecdotes and examples to explicate the constitution of the village as a moral community and the moral ontology on which that community is based. Concluding chapters provide a "thick description" of three real disputes witnessed by the author.

Powerful emotion and pursuit of self-interest have many times led people to break the law with the belief that they are doing so with sound moral reasons. This study, a comprehensive philosophical and legal analysis of the gray area in which the foundations of law and morality clash, views these oblique circumstances from two perspectives: that of the person who faces a possible conflict between the claims of morality and law and must choose whether or not to obey the penal code; and that of the people who make and uphold laws and must decide whether to treat someone with a moral claim to disobey differently from ordinary lawbreakers. In examining the extent of the obligations owed by citizens to their government, Greenawalt concentrates on the possible existence of a single source of obligation that reaches all citizens and all laws. He also discusses techniques of amelioration of punishment for conscientious lawbreakers, asking how far legal systems should go to accomodate individuals who break the law for reason of conscience. Drawing from numerous examples of conflicts between law and morality, Greeawalt illustrates in detail the positions and predicaments of potential lawbreakers and lawmakers alike.

Katherine Heigl is delightful as Jane, a self-effacing Gal Friday so addicted to organizing weddings in her off time, that 27 Dresses opens with her character juggling two nuptials on the same night. A perpetual bridesmaid, Janes hobby is discovered by a matrimony reporter named Kevin (James Marsden), who hides a romantic side behind his wall of cynicism. While Kevin gradually develops feelings for Jane, the latters superficial sister, Tess (Malin Akerman), pursues George (Edward Burns), Janes boss and the object of her love. This romantic circle could go on forever, except that Jane is unexpectedly moved by Kevin despite her general irritation with him and without knowing that hes on the verge of sandbagging her with a ridiculing article in his newspaper. The situation is absurd, but the emotions are not. Heigl is very good, rooted in a long tradition of comely comediennes playing characters who fly under the radar of life. She makes Janes pain palpable and conveys her characters inability to say no without making her look unappealing or weak. Marsden perfectly captures the part of a rumpled, underdressed writer with repressed passions, Akerman is as convincingly shrewish here as she was in The Heartbreak Kid, and Burns is fine as one of those guys so busy saving the world he barely pays attention to the people in his life. The script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) is fun if predictable, and Anne Fletchers direction is vibrant. --Tom Keogh

I really like this movie. It is light and breezy and it put me in mind of In Her Shoes with Toni Colette and Cameron Diaz. This movie was a little heavier but the storylines are similiar. At least to me they are. In fact, the scene when her self centered sister rips into her about the newspaper item she starts sounding as if she went to the Cameron Diaz school of acting. The actor who plays her (K. Heigel) love interest I enjoyed from his playing the prince in Enchanted. I kept waiting for him to either sing or say A Date! Whats a date? LOL!! I do recommend this movie as a buy.

Oh my, I dont know what happened here but it seems that Katherine Heigl lost her acting ability in this movie...I kept wondering how this could be the same actress thats on television every Thursday night. All of the acting in this movie was overdone. I was surprised at just how bad it all was....story, acting, directing. It was so predictable and the characters were so elementary. The saving grace and the only reason this got 2 stars from me (and the reason I continued to watch even after I realized how bad it was) was James Marsden. His acting was good and the guy is beyond gorgeous. I think he puts Pitt and Clooney to shame. Im surprised we havent seen him as a leading man in more movies. Im not sure that being able to look at this exceedingly handsome man for over an hour is enough to recommend the movie to anyone though. Very disappointing.

Even though it arrived in a pink case that was badly cracked, I didnt mind as I just transfered the cover into another case. I decided to watch the movie during the day while I was ironing. Certain parts at the end made me a little teary, and think of my sister. I recommended it to 2 20-year old twins trying to grow up and relate to each other as individuals - they LOVED it to. They sat together shoulder to shoulder watching, laughing and even crying a bit. Good fun, I think a guy could watch it and be entertained also by some of the scenes that are so funny.

Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
Much of the stress we experience comes not from the workplace but from our reactions to our workplace. Most of Carlsons little book focuses on how we need to change our attitudes in order to minimize stress. For instance, work should be seen as something that we get to do rather than something that we have to do. Enjoy life now--dont wait for retirement!

Problems should be seen as speed bumps to negotiate gracefully, not barriers to be resented. One should recognize that life is full of hassles, and that these should be handled in stride. One should lay off the ego, because constant comparison with others will only raise ones stress. Workplace meetings, instead of being stewed at as unnecessary or boring, should be seen as challenges to learn something new.

Carlson also gives some practical pointers for minimizing work-related stress. For instance, if we feel hurried in the morning, we should get up earlier to give us more time to get ready for work. Long commutes to work, instead of being hated as a waste of time, should be profitably spent listening to books on tape. To avoid the stress caused by constant phone calls, we should have a "no phone" time when we dont answer the phone. Voice mail should be used more often. To dissipate general stress, we should spend ten minutes each day doing absolutely nothing. And, since vacation trips themselves can be stressful, we should spend more of our vacations puttering around at home or visiting local events and places.

It is possible to pooh- pooh self- help , power of positive thinking books or to try and learn from them. I take the latter approach. My idea is always that if I learn one good thing from them I have profited.
This is particularly engaging and helpful self- help book. There are one hundred small essays on such topics as Dont Sweat the Small Stuff Relax Breathe before you speak Allow yourself to be bored Repeat to yourself, " Life is not an Emergency" , Lower your tolerance to Stress, Become more patient Surrender to the fact that life isnt fair Let others be right most of the time Choose your battles wisely Look beyond behavior Become a better listener Set aside quiet time every day Imagine that everyone is enlightened except you Smile to strangers, look into their eyes and say hello.
What is surprising is though you think you might know most of this stuff you will probably be induced to practice a bit more by reading the work.
I very much liked this book. Its aim is to make people better and happier. I think it can do that.
What is nice about it is that the major ideas are given in the chapter- titles and then the small essays illustrate them and slightly elaborate upon them.
A few more of the chapters are as follows:
" Practice Random Acts of Kindness Spend a Moment every day thinking of someone to thank Learn to live in the present moment Resist the urge to criticize Choose being kind over being right Search for the grain of truth in other opinions Read articles and books with entirely different points of view from your own and try to learn somethingStop Blaming others Get comfortable not knowing Lighten up Dont interrupt others or finish their sentencesRemember that everything has Gods fingerprints on it.
One problem of course is that a lot of this is easier said than done. Take fill your life with love Thats a hard one for many who have been trying and getting nowhere. Nonetheless the intention and direction are good.
They are in the spirit of my own attitude in reviewing books, " Try to find something good in it, and something good to say about it. And only criticize it if it is absolutely necessary.

Applying the strategies and principles in each brief chapter will result in true self-esteem, effective interpersonal relations, and higher levels of productivity more effectively achieved.

Giving a much-needed historical overview, this second edition of a successful book analyzes the nature of conflict in the Middle East, with its racial, ethnic, political, cultural, religious and economic factors.

Also putting the main conflicts in to their wider context with a thematic debate of issues such as the emergence of radical Islam, the resolution of conflicts, diplomacy and peace-making and the role of the superpowers, this will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and will become a key publication in the study of the Middle East.

Crisis and Crossfire The United States and the Middle East Since 1945 Issues in the History of American Foreign Relations
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 4.5
Review: 2
Studio: Potomac Books Inc.
Although it seems almost incredible today, the United States had relatively little interest in the Middle East before 1945. But the dynamics and outcome of World War II elevated the importance of the Middle East in the American mind, and the United States has viewed the region with vital interest to its security and economy ever since. The projection of American power into the region has had consequences that have forever changed the United States and the Middle East, with the rise of al Qaeda and the turbulent occupation of Iraq being the latest examples. Crisis and Crossfire surveys and analyzes the broad contours of U.S. involvement in the region. It probes the reasons why the United States implemented various policies and assesses the wisdom of American leaders as they accepted greater responsibilities for preserving stability and security in the Middle East. Major themes include U.S.-Middle East policy in the context of the Cold War, the rise of Arab and Iranian nationalism, decolonization, the U.S. approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the politics of Western dependence on Middle Eastern oil, and Americas military interventions, particularly its two wars against Iraq. This books concise narrative and selection of primary-source documents make it an ideal introduction to U.S.-Middle East relations for students and for anyone with an interest in understanding the history behind todays events.

A Region in Turmoil South Asian Conflicts since 1947 Reaktion Books Contemporary Worlds
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 3.5
Review: 3
Studio: Reaktion Books
South Asia has been the setting for some of the century's most violent invasions, the Western world's bloodiest defeats, and a volatile geopolitical brew of religions, ethnicities, and nationalism that sends unsettling ripples through the global balance of power even today. Rob Johnson writes here the engrossing history of the individual conflicts that have engulfed the states of South Asia during the last half century. A Region in Turmoil offers a new perspective on the area, drawing together the conflicts of South Asia and examining them in local and global contexts, from the end of the Western colonial empires through today's global efforts to combat terrorism. Johnson's incisive analysis breaks down the historical and political roots of the conflicts and departs from traditional Western-centric paradigms to reveal heretofore overlooked South Asian viewpoints on the conflicts and connections among the wars. He probes the causes, contexts, and conclusions of the conflicts, ranging from the enduring insurgency in Myanmar to the struggle of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, the unrest in the Punjab and Assam states, the Bangladeshi war of independence, and the intractable struggles in Kashmir and Afghanistan. The twenty-first century opened with South Asia front and center on a turbulent political stage: the region is not only the designated frontline for the "war on terror" but also home to the newest nuclear powers, India and Pakistan. A Region in Turmoil addresses this critical contemporary crisis with an invaluable analysis of the region and its complex history, making it essential reading for historians, policymakers, and anyone who reads the front page of the daily newspaper.

The Devil Came on Horseback Bearing Witness to the Genocide in Darfur
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 4.0
Review: 14
Studio: PublicAffairs
A critically acclaimed book--now also a major documentary film--of "compelling immediacy and irrefutable authenticity, as a testament now and for years to come." (The Los Angeles Times) Former United States Marine Brian Steidle served for six months in Darfur as an unarmed military observer for the African Union. There he witnessed first-hand the ongoing genocide, and documented every day of his experience. Fired upon, taken hostage, a witness to villages destroyed and people killed, frustrated by his mission's limitations and the international community's reluctance to intervene, Steidle resigned and has since become an advocate for the world to step in and stop this genocide. The Devil Came on Horseback is a gripping memoir that bears witness to unmentionable atrocities and urges all of us to take action.

Darfur A 21st Century Genocide Third Edition Crises in World Politics
Binding: Paperback

Review: 11
Studio: Cornell University Press
Praise for the 2005 Edition-- "A passionate and highly readable account of the current tragedy that combines intimate knowledge of the region's history, politics, and sociology with a telling cynicism about the polite but ineffectual diplomatic efforts to end it. It is the best account available of the Darfur crisis."--Foreign Affairs "Does the conflict in Darfur, however bloody, qualify as genocide? Or does the application of the word 'genocide' to Darfur make it harder to understand this conflict in its awful peculiarity? Is it possible that applying a generic label to Darfurian violence makes the task of stopping it harder? Or is questioning the label simply insensitive, implying that whatever has happened in Darfur isn't horrible enough to justify a claim on the world's conscience, and thus invite inaction or even the dismissal of Darfur altogether? These questions lie at the heart of a much-needed new book by Gerard Prunier. In Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide, Prunier casts aside labels and lays bare the anatomy of the Darfur crisis, drawing on a mixture of history and journalism to produce the most important book of the year on any African subject."--Salon.com "The emergency in Darfur in western Sudan is far from over, as GÃ©rard Prunier points out in this comprehensive and authoritative book. . . . He concisely covers the history, the conflicts, and the players. . . . Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide is essential for anyone wanting to learn about this complex conflict."--Library Journal "If Darfuris are Muslim, what is their quarrel with the Islamic government in Khartoum? If they and the janjaweed-'evil horsemen'-driving them from their homes are both black, how can it be Arab versus African? If the Sudanese government is making peace with the south, why would it be risking that by waging war in the west? Above all, is it genocide? GÃ©rard Prunier has the answers. An ethnographer and renowned Africa analyst, he turns on the evasions of Khartoum the uncompromising eye that dissected Hutu power excuses for the Rwanda genocide a decade ago."--The Guardian Darfur: The Ambiguous Genocide explains what lies behind the conflict in Western Sudan, how it came about, why it is should not be oversimplified, and why it is so relevant to the future of Africa. As the world watches, governments decide if, when, and how to intervene, and international organizations struggle to distribute aid, GÃ©rard Prunier's book provide crucial assistance. The third edition features a new chapter covering events through mid-2008.

The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa National and Ethnic Conflict in the 21st Century
Binding: Hardcover
Studio: University of Pennsylvania Press
Endowed with natural resources, majestic bodies of fresh water, and a relatively mild climate, the Great Lakes region of Central Africa has also been the site of some of the world's bloodiest atrocities. In Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, decades of colonial subjugation--most infamously under Belgium's Leopold II--were followed by decades of civil warfare that spilled into neighboring countries. When these conflicts lead to horrors such as the 1994 Rwandan genocide, ethnic difference and postcolonial legacies are commonly blamed, but, with so much at stake, such simple explanations cannot take the place of detailed, dispassionate analysis.The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa provides a thorough exploration of the contemporary crises in the region. By focusing on the historical and social forces behind the cycles of bloodshed in Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, RenÃ© Lemarchand challenges much of the conventional wisdom about the roots of civil strife in former Belgian Africa. He offers telling insights into the appalling cycle of genocidal violence, ethnic strife, and civil war that has made the Great Lakes region of Central Africa the most violent in the continent, and sheds new light on the dynamics of conflict in the region.Building on a full career of scholarship and fieldwork, Lemarchand's analysis breaks new ground in our understanding of the complex historical forces that continue to shape the destinies of one of Africa's most important regions.

Bridging the Generation Gap: How to Get Radio Babies, Boomers, Gen Xers, And Gen Yers to Work Together And Achieve More

Product Description

Miscommunication Employee conflict Work ethic debates Loyalty issues Varying wants and needs

If you are a manager, human resources professional, or business owner, you are faced with these types of issues every day. But why?

Because currently, there are five generations in the workplace: Radio Babies (born during 1930-1945) Baby Boomers (1946-1964) Generation X (1965-1976) Generation Y (1977-1991) even some Millennials (1991 and later). Each of them has a different perspective, based on their upbringing and daily lives. The key to making encounters between the generations successful is learning to understand the point of view of each generation and respect their differences.

The individuals and organizations that do this will be the ones to succeed. This book will show you how.

Authors Gravett and Throckmorton take a dynamic approach to the situation by writing in two distinct voicesas a Baby Boomer and a Gen-Xerusing a "point-counterpoint" approach to identify differences and similarities across generations.

They share hands-on experiences, real-life cases, recommended solutions, and ground-breaking research on how members of any generation can better relate to minimize conflict, miscommunication, and wasted energy. You will learn what each generation thinks of the others and how each wishes the others viewed it.

Bridging the Generation Gap is filled with strategies and solutions you can implement immediately to help build your own bridge between the generations.

While conglomerates bring with them many economic benefits, such as diversification of risk and economies of scale, they also impose such costs as systemic risk and conflict of interest abuses. This book explores how regulators can ensure that conglomerate regulation is sufficiently strong to eradicate abuses but sufficiently flexible to secure the benefits of conglomeration. The Chinese Wall - a regulatory mechanism aimed at stemming the flow of information from one department in a firm to another, and reconciling conflicts of interest more generally - is singled out for special treatment.

Crucible of Conflict: Tamil and Muslim Society on the East Coast of Sri Lanka

Product Description

Crucible of Conflict is an ethnographic and historical study of Hindu castes, matrilineal family structure, popular religious traditions, and ethnic conflict. It is also the first full-length ethnography of Sri Lankas east coast, an area that suffered heavily in the 2004 tsunami and that is of vital significance to the political future of the island nation. Since the bitter guerrilla war for an independent Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka broke out in 1983, the easternmost region of the island has emerged as a strategic site of conflict. Dennis B. McGilvray argues that any long-term resolution of the ethnic conflict must accommodate this region, in which Sinhalese Buddhists, Tamil Hindus, and Tamil-speaking Muslims are each a significant share of the population.

McGilvray explores the densely populated farming and fishing settlements in this coastal zone, focusing on the Tamil and Muslim inhabitants of an agricultural town in the Ampara District. Drawing on fieldwork conducted over more than thirty years as well as on Tamil and Dutch historical sources, he describes the regional dominance of a non-Brahmin matrilineal caste of thirteenth-century Kerala origin. The Muslims, who acquired dowry lands and matrilineal family patterns through local intermarriages, have in the twentieth century emerged from Hindu caste domination and are now the Tamil Hindus political and economic equals. Crucible of Conflict offers a uniquely detailed account of Muslim kinship and community organization in eastern Sri Lanka, as well as a comparison of Tamil and Muslim practices and institutions. McGilvray concludes with an analysis of the interethnic tensions and communal violence that have intensified in recent years.

Postcolonial Europe in the Crucible of Cultures: Reckoning with God in a World of Conflicts.

Product Description

Over the past forty years Europe has grown as a global presence and today it plays an important role in a variety of ways: politically, socially, economically, and culturally. European theologians have no choice but to take cognizance of this fact and respond to the broad social challenges by clarifying their views on God and being a prophetic voice in cultural, political and social decision-making. The authors in this volume take up four main contemporary global challenges, i.e. globalization, violence, gender, and the environment, and the volume provides its readers with first-rate theological reflections in Europe. The articles offered here are the result of an intensive workshop held in Leuven in September 2004 and are sponsored by the European Commission and the VLIR, as part of a three-year study program on the understanding of God in Europe.

The Rebel: An Essay On Man In Revolt

2008-12-21T00:54:00.001-08:00

The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt

Product Description

By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in mans timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times.

"The Rebel is a piece of reasoning in the great tradition of French logic....But what is so exhilarating about Camuss essay is that here is the voice of a man of unshakable decency." -- Atlantic

"Camuss book is one of the extremely few that express the contemporary hour...yet profoundly transcend it." -- New Republic

Albert Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower

Customer ReviewsCamus eclipses nihilism and brings news of a new age!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :15
I first became interested in Albert Camus after reading a quote from The Rebel online. "I rebel, therefore we exist" was the quote, and I must admit that, after reading the book, there has never been anything truer written. When I was in a bookstore a few months ago I found a copy of The Rebel, which is apparently a rare sight these days, since The Rebel is often ignored. Camus is one of the most famous writers of the 20th century, so why would one of his masterpieces be ignored?

It has been ignored, from what I can gather, because it is a philosophical work in which Camus pulls no punches and examines thoroughly why the excessive crime and violence of our era exist. Camus explains how, in both philosophy and politics, the reigning attitude has been one of nihilism for the past two centuries. This nihilism, being necessarily without an aim, leads to dictatorship and gross amounts of suffering for humans, no matter what principles it claims on the surface. Camus systematically destroys those who have used the philosophies of Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, surrealism, u.s.w., to justify their murderous plots.

Camus proposes that instead of nihilism and murder, we take to heart the ancient concepts of moderation and responsibility. Camus destruction of modern governents and his proposals of these ancient ideas seem to have made this book unpopular. In this era of oppression, it is easy to ignore what offends us or makes us think. Camus gives the reader no choice. He must either raise a defiant fist to the giants of power, or he must give way to these minds that are utterly without scruples. I admire Camus deeply because of this--he has summed up the ideas I have been carrying around for years--but some will be deeply hurt by his comments. I leave you with a final thought: everyone is partly to blame for the state of the present and the future. You have the choice to make it either good or bad.

An inquiry into the ethics of rebellion
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
This book followed his The Myth of Sisyphus. Camus explains in the beginning that while his previous work was about the question of suicide, this one is about the other aspect of taking human lives - other peoples lives (murder). The book however is not so much about murder, as it is about the ethics of rebellion.

At a deeper ideological level, Camus was reacting to the excesses of Soviet style communism with which he disagreed. He felt that rebellion is always at the risk of falling prey to the very tyranny it revolts against and destroys.

Camus however does not believe that rebellion is therefore not desirable. His humanitarian ideals harmonize with the dream of rebellion. So he tries to answer the question of how rebellion can escape falling prey to tyranny, albiet unsuccessfully, by taking the examples of Russian nihilists who fought tyranny through murder, but nevertheless punished themsleves for that act (because the act of murder becomes tyrranny if routinized).

In all his works, Camus is generally good with analysis but poor in his conclusions. This book is brilliant for its analysis of the ethics of rebellion and the dilemmas of a rebel. It raises important questions and leaves you free to find your own answers. That also harmonizes better with the spirit of existentialism.

The Rebel meets every expectation set out by The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
Camus The Rebel is yet another brilliant outcry of the human conscience, the urge to revolt and mans timeless struggle against the conditions of his existence. Albert Camus is one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of this century. The Rebel is a definite must read for lovers of Letranger and Myth of Sisyphus. Camus maintains his signature style of short, simple yet hard-hitting sentences that leave a lot to the imagination, thus giving the reader a chance to re-create their our vision. One of the best writers to come out of France, Camus sharp eye toward the French Revolution shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. Much like his predecessors such as Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky, Albert Camus writes with an unshakable decency and his work is eloquent and supremely rational.

Camus The Rebel has stood the test of time and will continue to educate, inspire and empower those who read his essay. This book influenced MLK who understood the spirit of rebellion and applied its principles. Whether we talk Gandhi, Sade, Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Dean, Brando... the list goes on. With rebellion awareness is born. Read The Rebel and change your life... quit your job. End a dead-end relationship. Move on. Fight a law. Disagree with someone. Color outside the lines. Say no. Say no instead of yes. Start a revolution and change the world. Sedition is the way to a better existence.

The Fascination of Evil
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This book is not only fascinating (what could possibly be more riveting than evil?) but is also an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the creative side of the video game business. The ultimate test of a game is that it contains exciting gameplay - gripping challenges for the player to overcome. These challenges are almost always in the form of physical obstacles or living creatures of some sort - human, animal, supernatural or alien life forms. Unfortunately, the physical challenges offered in most games are unimaginative and predictable and as for the bad guys, they are usually stereotypes weve seen a hundred times before... all too often, anonymous figures firing weapons at us. Pamela Jaye Smiths book is a refreshing antidote to all that -- full of excellent ideas on how to create dramatic obstacles and unique, powerful, fully dimensional antagonists.

Amazingly insightful
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :3
As a video game designer, writer and sometimes-actor, I found Inner Drives to be incredibly useful in outlining stories and breathing life into complex protagonists -- and now Ms. Smith has outdone herself. Though stories in general can come in many different forms, for video games almost invariably require an element of darkness, and we must push the boundaries of story-telling to hold the attentions of our audience in an increasingly competitive landscape.

My copy of "The Power of the Dark Side" is now dog-eared, underlined, and scribbled with notes in the margin. I assure you I will be turning back to it time and time again, whenever I need a fresh take on the darker side of humanity. And Ms. Smiths gift of comedic insight makes the learning process exceedingly enjoyable!

Unexplained Terms & Too Referential
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :3
Not my favorite writing reference ever.

1) The author relies heavily on strings of movie names in support of her points, then fails to explain how those movies demonstrate the point in question. The examples provided are useless unless you have seen the movies in question.

2) The book continually references "chakra" terminology (described as "inner drive / center of motivation"), but nowhere does the author offer an overview of the chakra system for the uninitiated.

3) The book meanders off topic. As often as not, the author is discusses how "good guys" display and/or respond to the "dark side" traits, rather than focusing on how to develop really strong villains that will drive a story forward.

4) Finally, one does wish her writing would be less sloppy. Sentence fragments, misplaced modifiers and other symptoms of lazy writing pepper the entire manuscript, and add to the overall impression that the work was not well planned or edited.

Super!

Fine--but wrong format? Or wrong target audience?
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
The promotional blurb reads, in part, "Erickson admits that her own Generation Y son informed her that he would prefer to consult a blog for career advice rather than dead-tree technology." Its a good point. Theres nothing fundamentally wrong with the content of this book, but is the target audience really going to want to read it? And is Harvard Business School Press going to know how to market it properly to that demographic? I wonder.

Heres another salient bit: "Despite gearing her message to younger workers, Ericksons effort speaks to a much broader audience: her examination of what influences and motivates this emerging generation would be of interest to potential employers and marketers." Id be interested to see a breakdown of sales. Will it mostly be Gen-Y folks buying this, or will it in fact be potential employers -- or even Gen-X types and baby boomers seeking to understand their competition? Im a member of Generation X myself. I wonder if directing this at us, instead, would have made for a better book.

Perhaps that can be Ericksons follow-up?

As my son is part of the Generation Y , I thought this would be a good read for him , now that he is past the age of fatherly advice (at least he thinks he is).
Creative and informative , this book presents many thoughtful ideas and approaches for success in ones work life. Although many of the principals could apply to any generation of worker , it is specifically geared to those born after 1980.

Do yourself , and your child a favor , give this for Christmas instead of (or in addition to) the latest video game.

This Kind of a Book Only Comes Along About Once a Decade.
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Last week while I was reading this book I met my youngest son at a Boston Sports Bar for dinner. I arrived early and my "Y" Generation son arrived slightly later. He asked what I was reading and I told him it was about him--the "Y" Generation. He asked if he could see it while we waited for his girl friend to arrive. He became absorbed in the book almost immediately while I watched the Celtics game. When his girl friend showed up she commented on the fact that she had never seen Eric reading a book. She said he only read his computer screen. Now I knew better, since I was his father. He reads a lot, but probably not around his girl friend who might consider it impolite to read in front of her.
Anyway, the three of us discussed the book and I practically had to pry it away from my son when our meal was complete. I told him he could borrow it as soon as I finished my review. He said he was looking forward to it.
Over the years, I recall several books similar to this one that fascinated me. One of them was "Future Shock." Previous to that "The Media is the Message" had a similar effect on me. More recently I enjoyed "The Millionaire Next Door."
Based on my own personal experience with both the "X Generation" and "Generation Y" I think this book has hit the nail right on the head. Its difficult to give much detail about the authors message because each page is packed with fascinating observations including many charts and graphs depicting her research on the subject. Basically this book defines the "Y" Generation as well as the "X" Generation and the Baby Boomers. It compares how they grew up, what influenced each of them and how that effects how they think and do things. The "Y" Generation comprises the people born between 1980 and the first few years of 2000. They are the first generation that was "plugged in" to technology from the time they were born. Use of technology and the Internet and networking in all its forms is as natural to them as breathing. The author goes into great detail explaining how the "Y" Generation, which is slightly larger than the Baby Boom Generation in the USA but more than double the size of the Baby Boomers on a global scale will soon be moving into and changing the worlds workforce. Since with medical advances, most of this generation will live to be 100 years old and in many cases will be working for 60 or 70 years, they will probably achieve success and satisfaction in at least three major careers during their life times. The author uses her research to explore what motivates Generation Y and why their motivating factors and work style is so different from the Traditionalists, Boomers, and Generation X.
In college I was a sociology major with an economics minor so I naturally found this material fascinating, but its so well written that its difficult not to get hooked on it. While its not exactly what Id call a "page turner" I found I liked it well enough to carry it in my coat pocket so I could read it at the slightest opportunity. I read it instead of the newspaper. For those people who are the parents of Generation Y or are working with them, this should be required reading. The author has some really marvelous insights that she gained from her extensive research. There are also many surprises in store for the reader. She finds that the power of positive thinking is still as important as it ever was. So take heart, we older folks arent completely out of the equation as yet and this book clues in Generation Y as to how we think and how to work in harmony with us even if what we do and think seems very old fashioned to them. It also provides us cave men some helpful information on how to understand and work in harmony with the "Y Generation." This is a manual for getting along and finding satisfaction in the world of work. Im delighted I found it.

Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else

Product Description

Expanding on a landmark cover story in Fortune, a top journalist debunks the myths of exceptional performance.

One of the most popular Fortune articles in many years was a cover story called What It Takes to Be Great. Geoff Colvin offered new evidence that top performers in any field--from Tiger Woods and Winston Churchill to Warren Buffett and Jack Welch--are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness doesnt come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades.

And not just plain old hard work, like your grandmother might have advocated, but a very specific kind of work. The key is how you practice, how you analyze the results of your progress and learn from your mistakes, that enables you to achieve greatness.

Now Colvin has expanded his article with much more scientific background and real-world examples. He shows that the skills of businessnegotiating deals, evaluating financial statements, and all the restobey the principles that lead to greatness, so that anyone can get better at them with the right kind of effort. Even the hardest decisions and interactions can be systematically improved.

This new mind-set, combined with Colvins practical advice, will change the way you think about your job and careerand will inspire you to achieve more in all you do.

I think about the opportunities I have missed in my youth, but, now that I think of it, I havent missed anything. Im putting myself to the test, and Im taking those steps to greatness, even if it will take me years to get there. I must start someday, and that someday is...now.

Mindful, purposeful practice makes perfect.

Author Geoff Colvin of FORTUNE magazine makes a convincing case that we tend t overrate talent as a success factor. He finds others keys to success: lots of hours doing what he calls purposeful practice. His argument has implications for success in all phases of life.

Colvins thesis is well constructed and compelling is a highly readable book. Superb! One of the best books Ive read in 2008!

Largely Based on HBRs "The Making of an Expert, July 2007
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :0
This book is largely a rehash of a major peer reviewed article and may add unnecessary "Hamburger Helper" . In the paper "Making of an expert" by K. Anders Ericsson and others, Harvard Business Review, July 2007 they detail three well accepted conditions:

1. Delibrate Practice - the author sites verbatim
2. World class coaching
3. Enthusiastic family support

The deliberate practice condition also encompasses the 10,000 hours requirement in becoming an expert whether that is business, music or sports to name a few endeavors. This translates into roughly what I call the 4/6/10 phenomena - 4 hours a day, 6 days a week for 10 years. Taking a few weeks off a year helps recovery so its about 1000 hours per year.
Of the three conditions, enthusiastic family support seems to be the catalyst for the other two. That article is well written and easy to read. You can go to that site and pick it up for $7. There are excellent peer reviewed references in that article worth reading. One of the key references is available at this site The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance. It may be a little more academic but if you already have read "The making of an expert" and want more, then this is it.

Our country is in for a serious Depression, a real financial funk.

I hope the US Senate allocated funds in TARF for Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp, (PBGC), Medicaid and health insurers. If GM and Chrysler go Bankrupt, PBGC must pay pensions which is around 780 billion dollars.

PBGC does not provide Health and Welfare payment- health insurance. Do you have money set aside for those entities? That collapse will be around 780 billion by itself. That does not include unemployment for the auto and their suppliers which may be another 800 billion dollars.

The US senate would rather spend 1.5 trillion dollars in additional bailouts rather than fund a bridge loan for 40 million dollars. Wow, As a UM trained economist I am appalled at our Senate Leaders lack of expertise in basic economics. Our country is in for a serious Depression, a real financial funk.

You need to read, Breakin Out of Your Financial Funk! If the Auto companies go into bankruptcy employees will need this book as we are certainly going to be in a serious financial funk and everyone will need a book to help them pick up the pieces and start again. Or hold onto the pieces.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America

Product Description

Thomas L. Friedmans no. 1 bestseller The World Is Flat has helped millions of readers to see globalization in a new way. Now Friedman brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energyboth of which could poison our world if we do not act quickly and collectively. His argument speaks to all of us who are concerned about the state of America in the global future.

Friedman proposes that an ambitious national strategy which he calls Geo-Greenismis not only what we need to save the planet from overheating it is what we need to make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure.

As in The World Is Flat, he explains a new erathe Energy-Climate erathrough an illuminating account of recent events. He shows how 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the flattening of the world by the Internet (which brought 3 billion new consumers onto the world stage) have combined to bring climate and energy issues to Main Street. But they have not gone very far down Main Street the much-touted green revolution has hardly begun. With all that in mind, Friedman sets out the clean-technology breakthroughs we, and the world, will need he shows that the ET (Energy Technology) revolution will be both transformative and disruptive and he explains why America must lead this revolutionwith the first Green President and a Green New Deal, spurred by the Greenest Generation.

Book Description

Thomas L. Friedmans phenomenal number-one bestseller The World Is Flat has helped millions of readers to see the world in a new way. In his brilliant, essential new book, Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: Americas surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11 and the global environmental crisis, which is affecting everything from food to fuel to forests. In this groundbreaking account of where we stand now, he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked--how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time.

Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the worlds middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is hot, flat, and crowded. Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things--unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green.

This is a great challenge, Friedman explains, but also a great opportunity, and one that America cannot afford to miss. Not only is American leadership the key to the healing of the earth it is also our best strategy for the renewal of America.

In vivid, entertaining chapters, Friedman makes it clear that the green revolution we need is like no revolution the world has seen. It will be the biggest innovation project in American history it will be hard, not easy and it will change everything from what you put into your car to what you see on your electric bill. But the payoff for America will be more than just cleaner air. It will inspire Americans to something we havent seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, boldness, and concern for the common good that are our nations greatest natural resources.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

Thomas Friedman and Fareed Zakaria: Author One-to-One

Fareed Zakaria: Your book is about two things, the climate crisis and also about an American crisis. Why do you link the two?

Thomas Friedman: Youre absolutely right--it is about two things. The book says, America has a problem and the world has a problem. The worlds problem is that its getting hot, flat and crowded and that convergence--that perfect storm--is driving a lot of negative trends. Americas problem is that weve lost our way--weve lost our groove as a country. And the basic argument of the book is that we can solve our problem by taking the lead in solving the worlds problem.

Zakaria: Explain what you mean by "hot, flat and crowded."

Friedman: There is a convergence of basically three large forces: one is global warming, which has been going on at a very slow pace since the industrial revolution the second--what I call the flattening of the world--is a metaphor for the rise of middle-class citizens, from China to India to Brazil to Russia to Eastern Europe, who are beginning to consume like Americans. Thats a blessing in so many ways--its a blessing for global stability and for global growth. But it has enormous resource complications, if all these people--whom youve written about in your book, The Post American World--begin to consume like Americans. And lastly, global population growth simply refers to the steady growth of population in general, but at the same time the growth of more and more people able to live this middle-class lifestyle. Between now and 2020, the worlds going to add another billion people. And their resource demands--at every level--are going to be enormous. I tell the story in the book how, if we give each one of the next billion people on the planet just one sixty-watt incandescent light bulb, what it will mean: the answer is that it will require about 20 new 500-megawatt coal-burning power plants. Thats so they can each turn on just one light bulb!

Zakaria: In my book I talk about the "rise of the rest" and about the reality of how this rise of new powerful economic nations is completely changing the way the world works. Most everyones efforts have been devoted to Kyoto-like solutions, with the idea of getting western countries to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. But I grew to realize that the West was a sideshow. India and China will build hundreds of coal-fire power plants in the next ten years and the combined carbon dioxide emissions of those new plants alone are five times larger than the savings mandated by the Kyoto accords. What do you do with the Indias and Chinas of the world?

Friedman: I think there are two approaches. There has to be more understanding of the basic unfairness they feel. They feel like we sat down, had the hors doeuvres, ate the entre, pretty much finished off the dessert, invited them for tea and coffee and then said, "Lets split the bill." So I understand the big sense of unfairness--they feel that now that they have a chance to grow and reach with large numbers a whole new standard of living, were basically telling them, "Your growth, and all the emissions it would add, is threatening the worlds climate." At the same time, what I say to them--what I said to young Chinese most recently when I was just in China is this: Every time I come to China, young Chinese say to me, "Mr. Friedman, your country grew dirty for 150 years. Now its our turn." And I say to them, "Yes, youre absolutely right, its your turn. Grow as dirty as you want. Take your time. Because I think we probably just need about five years to invent all the new clean power technologies youre going to need as you choke to death, and were going to come and sell them to you. And were going to clean your clock in the next great global industry. So please, take your time. If you want to give us a five-year lead in the next great global industry, I will take five. If you want to give us ten, that would be even better. In other words, I know this is unfair, but I am here to tell you that in a world thats hot, flat and crowded, ET--energy technology--is going to be as big an industry as IT--information technology. Maybe even bigger. And who claims that industry--whose country and whose companies dominate that industry--I think is going to enjoy more national security, more economic security, more economic growth, a healthier population, and greater global respect, for that matter, as well. So you can sit back and say, its not fair that we have to compete in this new industry, that we should get to grow dirty for a while, or you can do what you did in telecommunications, and that is try to leap-frog us. And thats really what Im saying to them: this is a great economic opportunity. The game is still open. I want my country to win it--Im not sure it will.

Zakaria: Im struck by the point you make about energy technology. In my book Im pretty optimistic about the United States. But the one area where Im worried is actually ET. We do fantastically in biotech, were doing fantastically in nanotechnology. But none of these new technologies have the kind of system-wide effect that information technology did. Energy does. If you want to find the next technological revolution you need to find an industry that transforms everything you do. Biotechnology affects one critical aspect of your day-to-day life, health, but not all of it. But energy--the consumption of energy--affects every human activity in the modern world. Now, my fear is that, of all the industries in the future, thats the one where were not ahead of the pack. Are we going to run second in this race?

Friedman: Well, I want to ask you that, Fareed. Why do you think we havent led this industry, which itself has huge technological implications? We have all the secret sauce, all the technological prowess, to lead this industry. Why do you think this is the one area--and its enormous, its actually going to dwarf all the others--where we havent been at the real cutting edge?

You can choose to believe the man made global warming hoax,or you can write all day long about green energy,the fact remains until some economical viable solutions,fossil fuels rule. taxing fossil fuels to make them more viable is insane. the world is in a panic as oil falls back to 20 a barrel as it has before. guys like Freidmand,Obama,and Gore can only scream fire in the theater so often.

World is flat-tire
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :0
"The Lexus and the Olive Tree" was unique in its point of view. The writing was instructive and entertaining. Friedmans follow-up book, "The World is Flat," was a hit! New insight into seeing the world as it "is."

"Hot, Flat and Crowded" interprets the meaning of the word "is." Long-winded and lumpy, oft times boring, Friedman must have written this in Minneapolis while looking out the window. No new insight, here. Me thinks he went to the well once too often in this book.

Hell, who wants to pay $5/gal tax on gasoline to cut consumption of Arab oil? Why should everyone in the world be entitled to buy a car on some kind of subprime deal. The answer, Tom, is new kinds of energy, not how to make oil last longer as the fuel of choice.

Skip this one. You wont miss anything. Im sure Tom is working on a new book now that Obama is "in" and his Nobel Prize energy secretary at Livermore Berkeley National Laboratory is working on
an answer to Arab (and Russian) oil. Maybe a combination of wind, hot air and the atomic bomb!

A new way to view GREEN
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This book is a must read for any voting citizen. You may not like what he has to say but you should read it anyway. The book will help anyone understand the subject. The recent election and statements from the President elect shows how the Green issue is a major shapping force in American politics. Many people are worshiping at the Green alter. I know many dont understand what this Green thing is. Many view it as a feel good issue like dont club Baby seals. There isnt much argument to that. To others the green issue is a starting point to the one world government bent on destruction. This book shapes that issue in a new way that will help all parties. No matter what you believe this issue will truly haunt us in many different ways over the next few years.

Thomas Friedman here captures the issue like nothing else. Most books on the subject are nothing but sad stories about Bambi and the other creatures of the forest from nasel sounding failed politicians. All of those books were written by rich ex-politicans or whinny university professors who all dont have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. To 90% of the world living in the edge of poverty the Green religion has different meanings. This book takes a radically new approach to explaining things. He both shows the importance of the isse but tempers it with some reality.

Thomass reality on the world is a good read. The first half of the book shows in great detail the status of the world. He in very clear detail shows how population for the third world is going through the roof. Then he discusses the impact from that unrestrained growth. This growth has a huge impact on other things and vice versa. Growing populations need more energy. As they burn that energy damage from pollution grows and the demand on supply increases pushing up price. Friedmans discussion of this angle is excellent. It is clear, concise, and very believable. Christians who read it will swear they are reading a description of the last days, though Mr. Friedman doesnt talk about that. He says the pressure from this situation demands a "Green Revolution".

His ideas on how to start this revolution is really thought provoking. He has very specific ideas like a new electrical grid system for the country or how to use R&D monies to prime the research pump. Friedmans ideas do seem to rely heavily on optimism and humanism. His descriptions are very clear and entertaining. He has some little known stories that really enrich the story and do give hope. The stories make the issue real and not some vague ideology ex-liberals like to preach.

He does have some ideas worth exploring on the policy front. The recent President elects radio speeches sound like he has read this book. I am sure we all will see these ideas debated on TV news over the next year or so. That is why I think everyone should read this book. It will help you understand events.

Thomas Friedman brilliantly summarizes our chlidrens future if the world doesnt take a solidly green stand. Though initially terrifying, he does give us hope if the US government and businesses take action. Wake up America! Our families lives depend upon it. This book should be on everyones bedside table.

Product Description

Advance praise for Motivating the "Whats In It For Me?" Workforce

"The information on leading and managing generations found in this book is invaluable to all executives today. The war for talent has become increasingly fierce. Attracting and retaining this talent is critical to a successful global company. This book is a masterful tool for developing the skills required for managing multigenerational teams. It is a must-have for executives at all levels who are responsible for a companys greatest asset: its people."
--Phebe Port, Vice President Global Management Strategies,The Estee Lauder Companies

"Motivating the Whats In It For Me? Workforce has given our managers good ideas about leading the different generations in our workplace, particularly the New Millennials who we at Enterprise are especially reliant upon to grow our business every single day and, ultimately, become our companys future leaders."
--Marie Artim, Assistant Vice President Recruiting, Enterprise Rent-A-Car

"After Marston presented to our management group, approximately 400 individuals, and after we responded to the clamor for his book, it became commonplace to hear people discussing solutions to problems based on generational considerations. There arent many people discussions that occur today where we dont at least consider differences between Baby Boomers, Millennials, etc. He really changed our way of thinking!"
--Anne Donovan, U.S. HR LeaderSystems and Process Assurance, PricewaterhouseCoopers

"If you ever had any doubt that generational differences have an impact on go-to-market strategies, Marstons book, Motivating the Whats In It For Me? Workforce, provides thought-provoking realities you need to consider. This is a must-read . . . At our Sales Leadership Conference, Marston gave our top sales managers actionable ideas on how to gain better understanding of what drives todays workforce to take direct action and deliver exceptional results."

Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
At my company and in my department, the tension between managers and their reports seem to be primarily due to generational differences. This book explains so clearly not only what the differences are, but why members of different generations behave differently and have varied expectations in the workplace.

As someone from Generation X, I was thrilled to find that this book was written by someone from my generation. Marston has clearly experienced the same types of conflicts in the workplace that I do, and he uses many examples to illustrate the sources of conflict.

Not only do I enjoy this book so much that I cant stop talking about it to my friends and co-workers, but Ive encouraged my colleagues to make some policy and procedure modifications based on what Ive read. I really hope that everyone I work with reads this book because it will help us all to understand each other, and, therefore, work together more productively.

Finally..."Enlightenment"!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This is the most enlightening book I have read in years! As a Baby Boomer, I have been struggling with trying to understand the younger folks I have working for me. Even some of my younger managers leave me scratching my head wondering if everyone has gone insane! Now I get it. Its not me,is the great generational divide and this book has brought me much clarity and understanding. We, the Boomers, are still in charge, and until I am ready to retire, the knowledge in this book will help me to keep my sanity.

This book rocks!

Motivating the "Whats In It For Me?" Workforce. Manage across the generational divide and increase profits. Cam Marston.2007. ISBN 9780470124147. This is a much needed essential book. The author is a Gen Xer who has made a career from explaining how to get the best from a multi-generational workforce. If you, like me, need to hire and inspire Gen X and Millenia workforces, then you must get this book! It will also help you understand your children! Lessons learned, you do not "suggest" how things should be done, you tell and show, with clear directions.

1. Use clear straightforward language
2. Dont assume anything
3. When an employee gets it right, celebrate!

According to some of his research the Millenia generation is on line to be a Hero generation.

Insightful and Useful
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
I chose this book as a reading assignment in a management training course precisely because I was having some difficulties motivating my younger employees.

By Marstons definitions, I am just barely a Boomer (almost Gen X myself), but by looking at my own values and having some frank discussions with my younger employees, I can tell you that his observations about how generations see the world and the workplace are dead on, at least for our small sample.

I made a bullet list of the high points of this text and started treating my employees this way. One couldnt take the heat and left. The other three have responded extremely well. In short, it works!

I cant recommend this book highly enough!

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I ordered this book to use as a resource to create a training presentation at my workplace. I had seen Cam Marston in person at a conference in 2005. The layout of the book is fairly good albeit not the end all.

Eighty million Baby Boomers vacillate between their overwhelming need to succeed and their growing desire to slow down and enjoy life.

Millennials, new to the workforce, mix savvy with social conscience and promise to further change the business landscape.

This insightful book provides hands-on methods to close the generation gaps. With effective tools to recruit, retain, motivate, and manage each generation, you can now create teamwork, not war, in todays highperformance workplace . . . where at any age, productivity is what counts.

I saw David Stillman speak and was fascinated by his insight on how the generations are struggling to work together. It really gave me a greater understanding of my 20 year old son, what influenced him and where some of his priorities came from. The theories are spot on and the examples are amazing. This is a great read for an open-minded parent who really cares what his/her child is really thinking about. Also helps with understanding and appreciating our parents. Not just about workplace issues, incorporates life experiences and insights.

When Generations Collide
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
Anyone who has managed people from different generations can relate to the notion that different generations prompt people to have different ideas about how the world works. That may be a given, but when it rests on a managers shoulders to keep the team productive or on course with corporate goals, having insight into the component members behaviors is a very useful tool. Ive managed the generation born during World War Two, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and my kids represent the Millenial generation. Believe me, there are distinct differences.

This book attempts to catagorize generations, not to promote stereotypes and to put people in boxes, but to highlight how common experiences can mold people. True, there are socio-economic differences (I am in the same generation as Caroline Kennedy, but aside from that our experiences are vastly different), but being in the same age group does create bonds among people. Values change over time and those values are what shapes peoples ways of thinking.

The managers job is to manage to get the work done given the employees at hand. If we could pick our own teams we may not select those people we have on staff, but aside from professional sports teams, most managers can be more or less stuck with what they got. The manager is expected to make the best of things. If the manager cant do this, its easier for the company to find one who can.

Lancaster and Stillman present an interesting argument in how generations are defined, and what their expectations of careers are. The savvy manager will read a book like this with an open mind and use the information presented herein to learn to work with staff for the mutual benefit of all involved. Of course not all managers are savvy, or even very intelligent. Those who could benefit most from a book like this will probably never read it. But then again not all companies are successful in developing people and market strategies. These companies may not be around to get a second chance at success.

This book is well thought out and well presented. Some of the chapters, such as the chapter on rewarding employees may be a bit off the mark, but that doesnt hurt the overall message coming from this book: understand your staff and learn what makes them tick. Your company will benefit.

The Art of Resolving Conflicts in the Workplace: The Six Essential Techniques with Lawrence D. Schwimmer (Adapted from Winning Face to Face)

Product Description

"The Art of Resolving Conflicts in the Workplace" with Lawrence D. Schwimmer presents "Six Essential Techniques:" This video is adapted from the 85-minute video "Winning Face to Face" made by International Video Network. American management consultant, Lawrence D. Schwimmer presents a two-part training video illustrating six, easily learned techniques for resolving office conflicts and coping with hostile or uncooperative staff in a professional manner. In Part I, Schwimmer describes each of the six conflict resolution techniques: I vs. you language, anticipation, meta-talk, self-interest, limit-setting, & using consequences. Professional actors dramatize conflicts and demonstrate how the six techniques can be used to defuse and redirect office conflicts. In Part II dramatic sequences demonstrate how to use all six techniques to resolve conflicts resulting from four common sources: aggressive behavior role confusion stereotyping and psychological manipulation. Before Lawrence D. Schwimmer was thirty he was president of his own multi-million dollar food company. A former executive with several Fortune 500 companies, at the time of the production of this video he was president of Schwimmer & Associates, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in presenting conflict resolution programs. He has authored three books on business behavior and has presented his seminars on "Risk-taking and Managing Conflict" before more than 25,000 people throughout the country, including presentations at IBM, Polaroid, and Xerox.

Studio: Holt Paperbacks
From the oilfields of Saudi Arabia to the Nile delta, from the shipping lanes of the South China Sea to the pipelines of Central Asia, Resource Wars looks at the growing impact of resource scarcity on the military policies of nations. International security expert Michael T. Klare argues that in the early decades of the new millennium, wars will be fought not over ideology but over access to dwindling supplies of precious natural commodities. The political divisions of the Cold War, Klare asserts, have given way to a global scramble for oil, natural gas, minerals, and water. And as armies throughout the world define resource security as a primary objective, widespread instability is bound to follow, especially in those areas where competition for essential materials overlaps with long-standing territorial and religious disputes. In this clarifying view, the recent explosive conflict between the United States and Islamic extremism stands revealed as the predictable consequence of consumer nations seeking to protect the vital resources they depend on.A much-needed assessment of a changed world, Resource Wars is a compelling look at warfare in an era of rampant globalization and intense economic competition.

Generations at Work: Managing the Clash of Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and Nexters in Your Workplace

Product Description

Walk through the tightly packed, hierarchically flattened corridors of Americas businesses and what do you hear? Not the sounds of harmony. Instead, youll probably hear the grumbles of irritation as people with wholly different ways of working, talking, and thinking have been tossed together side by side, cubicle by cubicle. Its the teeth-gritting sound of generations in collision.

Charlie, for example, is 61 and desperate for some clear, straightforward guidance from his 43-year-old boss Mary, who, in turn, is using her trademark heartfelt, buzzword-laden management style in an attempt to radically alter Charlies work processes. Jane, meanwhile, the 29-year-old technical wizard of the team, sits sullenly in her cubicle, unimpressed with either of them, and they with her.

None of them understands the other. None of them knows how to communicate with the other. And its causing headaches and havoc for managers trying to mold this hodgepodge of ages, faces, values, and views into a productive, collaborative group.

Now, with GENERATIONS AT WORK, theres clear, concrete help. Written by a team of distinguished cross-generational authors, this groundbreaking book supplies fresh, provocative insights and practical solutions for understanding differences, resolving conflicts, and managing effectively in todays age-diverse workplace. Both sweeping in scope and highly specific, the book gives you:

Astute profiles of four distinct generations: Learn about the Veterans (b. 1922-1943), Baby Boomers (b. 1943-1960), Gen Xers (b.1960-1980), and the Nexters (b.1980-), including their demographics, the events that shaped their lives and times, predominant traits, work styles, and key messages to keep in mind when recruiting, developing, and motivating these members of your workforce. Illuminating case studies in generational peace: Go behind the scenes of five major companies that treat generational mixing as an asset. A powerful practice exercise: Solve the plight of Charlie Roth, a fictionalized manager facing a cross-generational crisis--then read how 7 outside experts tackled the problem. Hardhitting answers to the 21 most frequently asked questions about managing in a multigenerational workplace--plus much more!

For anyone struggling to manage people who just dont see work (or life) the same way, GENERATIONS AT WORK helps you understand the gulf that separates the generations--and offers practical guidelines for building a harmonious workforce where people rally together for the organization, not against each other.

Never before has there been such diversity in the workforce. This is particularly true of the range of ages that co-exist on the job. In Generations At Work, the authors identify the four generations, the particular problems you may encounter managing them, and potential solutions. As the employee pool matures, this is knowledge every manager of a cross-generational workforce will need. These categories are, of course, cut rather broad. This book is probably better used as an idea toolbox than gospel writ.

The Generations:
1.Veterans (1922-1943): The World War II generations dedication to the values of civic pride, loyalty and respect for authority have become a continuing influence in the following generations.
Veterans tend to be more directive in leadership roles.
Veterans are used to working in teams under strong leadership.
Veterans can be prone to the "weve never done it that way before" mentality.
Veterans often find technology intimidating and confusing.
2.Boomers (1943-1960): This generation tends to be idealistic and driven.
Find out how they want to be managed.
Expect a reaction if things dont go well.
Motivate them with lots of public recognition, and involvement in decision-making.
When mentoring them be tactful, let them tell you how theyre doing, and think of yourself as a friendly equal.
3.Xers (1960-1980): The Xers are deeply cynical about management and the driven attitudes of the Veterans and Boomers. It is, however, possible to motivate Xers.
Make your work environment as flexible as possible.
Provide them with up-to-date technology.
Give them lots of simultaneous projects and let them prioritize.
Give them constructive feedback on their job performance.
4.Nexters (1980-2000): The most studied generation in history, Nexters are likely to be more like the veterans than any other group. When recruiting Nexters, keep the following principles in mind:
Forget gender roles.
Focus on teams.
Mind the gap: there is likely to be a large generational gap between the Xers and the Nexters.
Grow your training department.
Establish mentor programs.

Owners Manual For Managing the Muti-generational Workplace
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
The Year 2006 represents a unique place in time in the history of our workplaces in the United States. We now have four different generations in the same workplace and that has presented many challenges to business owners and managers. This book could be called an "Owners Manual" in the sense that it provides some practical advice on how to deal with this age-diverse workforce. If you are looking for some help to "muffle" the loud sounds of colliding generations, or to bring those loud sounds into harmony, then this is a book for you. The book is a must read for business owners and managers to help understand the differences in the workforce how to resolve conflicts and how to fully utilitze the diversity of ages to achieve success in business.

Real Generations
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I enjoyed this book, even though I orignially got it for a class of mine on diversity. It is a great book, but as a Nexter I wish it was a little more updated on things about my generation, but it is understandable. I found that the generational stereotypes are very much in tune with my personal experiences.

Very good read

I liked this book since it gave me an insight into the different components of each generation and how to deal with them at work as well as in general. I manage early boomers to nexters and am a Gen Xer and this book will help a great deal with that challenging task.

Generations Work
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Over the last 15 years, a few books have genuinely captured the attention and admiration from people across the business community. Such successes tend to reflect the contemporary tide in economic thought while still provide some insight into a narrow aspect of business. Among the better known of these works are Don Tapscotts Paradigm Shift --focusing on technologys affects on society, Peter Senges Fifth Discipline -- explaining organizations internal operations, David Foots Boom, Bust and Echo- revealing societys shaping by waves in demographics and Walid Mougayars Opening Digital Markets -- discussing ways businesses can take advantage of the Internet.

Now, with the growth of e-commerce, more business and economic models are being developed and published faster than ever before. The result: it seems impossible to place into perspective the vast amount of genuinely good business insight. This is where Generations at Work is an invaluable resource. Penned by three members of the American Management Association, Generations does what many writings aspire to, but fail to accomplish -- clearly and concisely suggest a linkage between widespread social and economic trends, organizational behaviour and peoples behaviours on the job.

The premise of Generations is neither new nor complicated: people resemble their times more than their parents. However, in demonstrating their point, the authors extend the work done by other social demographic specialists, such as David Foot, and combine considerable research into fairly digestible chunks. In so doing, they provide a reference from which anyone can gain a meaningful glimpse into the generations that have shaped and will continue to influence our homes, workplaces and social institutions.

The authors begin by ordering our society into widely recognized groupings based on dates of birth. Their careful attempts to guard against making stereotypes while providing some typical demographic profiles more than makes up for their reliance on terms that we are all too familiar with, including Veterans, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Nexters (Gen Y).

After sizing-up each segment, the authors go into painstaking detail to help us better understand the mind-set of each of these groups at home, at work and with one another. For each segment the authors describe the following:

Work ethic, Core values, Preferred work environments, Seminal events
Messages that motivate, Cultural memorabilia, Leadership style, Heroes
Team member style, Sense of humour, preferred readings, spending style, Follower style, What other generations think of them, Principles for recruiting and orienting, An average Day in the Life, Guidelines for developing careers, Common myths

Because Generations appreciates that most peoples lives consist of work and non-work, their analyses are particularly relevant. So, whether youre mission in life is to supply or to demand, this text will add value. It is worthwhile if you need to make a prediction about or understand the individuals, organizations or social institutions of our society. Generations provides insight into the heart and personality of your colleagues and teammates, your clients, your business partners and yourself.

Generations does however suffer from some flaws. First, you can quickly detect an American bias. For example the authors did not address the different demographic segments in other areas of the World that have seen more drastic inter-generational schisms and considerably more growth. Second, the parallel structure of the books core is terrific for comparison purposes across chapters but often makes you feel like youre reading a textbook. Finally, the authors, no doubt recognizing how static their structure, realigned some of the information in a question and answer format. This might have been their attempt to make much of the information more palatable for popular business journals. However, the questions and answers alike come across as forced.

Combine Generations with the works of Tapscott, Senge, Foot and Mougayar along with a model of how people process information and youll have a strong foundation of how our workforces, businesses and institutions are currently evolving.

Postcolonial Europe in the Crucible of Cultures Reckoning with God in a World of Conflicts
Binding: Paperback
Studio: Rodopi
Over the past forty years Europe has grown as a global presence and today it plays an important role in a variety of ways: politically, socially, economically, and culturally. European theologians have no choice but to take cognizance of this fact and respond to the broad social challenges by clarifying their views on God and being a prophetic voice in cultural, political and social decision-making. The authors in this volume take up four main contemporary global challenges, i.e. globalization, violence, gender, and the environment, and the volume provides its readers with first-rate theological reflections in Europe. The articles offered here are the result of an intensive workshop held in Leuven in September 2004 and are sponsored by the European Commission and the VLIR, as part of a three-year study program on the understanding of God in Europe.

Crucible of Conflict Tamil and Muslim Society on the East Coast of Sri Lanka
Binding: Paperback
Studio: Duke University Press
Crucible of Conflict is an ethnographic and historical study of Hindu castes, matrilineal family structure, popular religious traditions, and ethnic conflict. It is also the first full-length ethnography of Sri Lankas east coast, an area that suffered heavily in the 2004 tsunami and that is of vital significance to the political future of the island nation. Since the bitter guerrilla war for an independent Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka broke out in 1983, the easternmost region of the island has emerged as a strategic site of conflict. Dennis B. McGilvray argues that any long-term resolution of the ethnic conflict must accommodate this region, in which Sinhalese Buddhists, Tamil Hindus, and Tamil-speaking Muslims are each a significant share of the population. McGilvray explores the densely populated farming and fishing settlements in this coastal zone, focusing on the Tamil and Muslim inhabitants of an agricultural town in the Ampara District. Drawing on fieldwork conducted over more than thirty years as well as on Tamil and Dutch historical sources, he describes the regional dominance of a non-Brahmin matrilineal caste of thirteenth-century Kerala origin. The Muslims, who acquired dowry lands and matrilineal family patterns through local intermarriages, have in the twentieth century emerged from Hindu caste domination and are now the Tamil Hindus political and economic equals. Crucible of Conflict offers a uniquely detailed account of Muslim kinship and community organization in eastern Sri Lanka, as well as a comparison of Tamil and Muslim practices and institutions. McGilvray concludes with an analysis of the interethnic tensions and communal violence that have intensified in recent years.

The Rebel An Essay on Man in Revolt

Review: 23
Studio: Vintage
By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times."The Rebel is a piece of reasoning in the great tradition of French logic....But what is so exhilarating about Camus's essay is that here is the voice of a man of unshakable decency." -- Atlantic"Camus's book is one of the extremely few that express the contemporary hour...yet profoundly transcend it." -- New RepublicAlbert Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957.

The Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation is Shaking Up the Workplace

Product Description

The first wave of the Millennial Generationborn between 1980 and 2001is entering the work force, and employers are facing some of the biggest management challenges theyve ever encountered. They are trying to integrate the most demanding and most coddled generation in history into a workplace shaped by the driven baby-boom generation. Like them or not, the millennials are America future work force. They are actually a larger group than the boomers92 million vs. 78 million.

The millennials are truly trophy kids, the pride and joy of their parents who remain closely connected even as their children head off to college and enter the work force. Millennials are a complex generation, with some conflicting characteristics. Although theyre hard working and achievement oriented, most millennials dont excel at leadership and independent problem solving. They want the freedom and flexibility of a virtual office, but they also want rules and responsibilities to be spelled out explicitly. Its all about me, might seem to be the mantra of this demanding bunch of young people, yet they also tend to be very civic-minded and philanthropic.

This book will let readers meet the millennials and learn how this remarkable generation promises to stir up the workplace and perhaps the world. It provides a rich portrait of the millennials, told through theeyes of millennials themselves and from the perspectives of theirparents, educators, psychologists, recruiters, and corporate managers. Clearly, the millennials represent a new breed of student, worker, and global citizen, and this book explores in depth their most salient attributes, particularly as they are playing out in the workplace. It also describes how companies are changing tactics to recruit millennials in the Internet age and looks at some of this generations dream jobs.

Born between 1980 and 2001, "millennials" challenge us as they move into their roles of student, worker and citizen. For anyone that has experienced these trophy children, they realize that we (management) need help and guidance. This is a well-crafted book that will help you adapt to the demands of the millennial generation. It is also full of advice on how to retain this generation. As pointed out in this important work, attracting is one problem. Retention is quite another.

Spending most of my career in human resources as a manager and now as a human resources corporate director, I have experienced many of the attributes from this generation and found this to be a very helpful book for planning the future. Ron Alsop shares his insight and helps us understand the many facets of this fascinating albeit frustrating group. As I read the book, I wrote down many of the conflicting qualities and characteristics of these millennials.

1.High sense of entitlement
2.Philanthropic
3.Surprisingly Community-minded
4.High premium on career success
5.Job-hoppers
6.Not Loyal to any employer
7.Technologically savvy
8.Committed to self-determination
9.Confident
10.Hard working
11.Achievement oriented
12.Display poor leadership abilities
13.Not good problem solvers
14.Demand freedom and flexibility
15.Expect explicit rules

How can we ever hope to blend this eclectic mix of attributes? Well, this book provides a rich portrait of these young people (and their parents) and more importantly, offers sage advice on how to deal with them.

I hope you found this review helpful. Michael L. Gooch, Author of Wingtips with Spurs:Cowboy Wisdom for Todays Business Leaders.

The Care and Feeding of Millennials at Work
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
The "Millennials" were born between 1980 and 2001, and the first of them are just entering the work force as their Boomer parents and grand-parents are exiting it. According to many studies, the Millennials have been more coddled than previous generations (thus the Trophy Kids designation) and their parents have earned the designation of "helicopter parents," due to their willingness to drop into any situation and fix it for their kids. At the same time, Millennials are very involved in their community and how their work place participates in local and global philanthropy. Alsop takes studies and interviews with student recruiters from management, banking and investment firms to create a picture of just what the Millennials expect, how companies can meet their desires and retain what may be the most job-hopping generation to enter the work force. Good for recruiters, managers and HR personnel responsible for hiring and retention.

Spot on!!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
This book shares insight from all the right people, including the source, the Millennials. Its fun, witty, and so true! Not only would Gen Y appreciate the read, but it will give clarity to helicopter parents, career services staff, and to those employers that have no idea how to attract, recruit, retain, OR understand this unique generation.

A Must Read for Managers

Anyone working with members of the Millennial generation will want to read this informative book by Wall Street Journal writer Ron Alsop. He offers an insightful look at the newest generation to join the workplace by covering the upsides (tech savvy, bright, high aspirations) and the downsides (entitled, informal, impatient) using real world examples from managers at Fortune 100 firms and career services professionals from major colleges and universities.

The Trophy Kids Grow Up is balanced and well written, and will give you the information youll need to successfully manage this group.

Schwimmer presents a two-part training video illustrating six, easily learned techniques for resolving office conflicts and coping with hostile or uncooperative staff in a professional manner. In Part I, Schwimmer describes each of the six conflict resolution techniques: I vs. you language, anticipation, meta-talk, self-interest, limit-setting, & using consequences. Professional actors dramatize conflicts and demonstrate how the six techniques can be used to defuse and redirect office conflicts. In Part II dramatic sequences demonstrate how to use all six techniques to resolve conflicts resulting from four common sources: aggressive behavior; role confusion; stereotyping; and psychological manipulation. Before Lawrence D. Schwimmer was thirty he was president of his own multi-million dollar food company. A former executive with several Fortune 500 companies, at the time of the production of this video he was president of Schwimmer & Associates, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in presenting conflict resolution programs.

Binding: VHS Tape
Studio: International Video Network
"The Art of Resolving Conflicts in the Workplace" with Lawrence D. Schwimmer presents "Six Essential Techniques:" This video is adapted from the 85-minute video "Winning Face to Face" made by International Video Network. American management consultant, Lawrence D. Schwimmer presents a two-part training video illustrating six, easily learned techniques for resolving office conflicts and coping with hostile or uncooperative staff in a professional manner. In Part I, Schwimmer describes each of the six conflict resolution techniques: I vs. you language, anticipation, meta-talk, self-interest, limit-setting, & using consequences. Professional actors dramatize conflicts and demonstrate how the six techniques can be used to defuse and redirect office conflicts. In Part II dramatic sequences demonstrate how to use all six techniques to resolve conflicts resulting from four common sources: aggressive behavior; role confusion; stereotyping; and psychological manipulation. Before Lawrence D. Schwimmer was thirty he was president of his own multi-million dollar food company. A former executive with several Fortune 500 companies, at the time of the production of this video he was president of Schwimmer & Associates, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in presenting conflict resolution programs. He has authored three books on business behavior and has presented his seminars on "Risk-taking and Managing Conflict" before more than 25,000 people throughout the country, including presentations at IBM, Polaroid, and Xerox.

If your workplace feels like a battle zone and colleagues sometimes act like adversaries, you ore not alone. Today four generations glare at one another across the conference table, and the potential for conflict and confusion has never been greater. Traditionalist employees with their "heads down, onward and upward" attitude live out a work ethic shaped during the Great Depression. Eighty million Baby Boomers vacillate between their overwhelming need to succeed and their growing desire to slow down and enjoy life. Generation Xers try to prove themselves constantly yet dislike the image of being overly ambitious, disrespectful, and irreverent. Millennials, new to the workforce, mix savvy with social conscience and promise to further change the business landscape. This insightful book provides hands-on methods to close the generation gaps. With effective tools to recruit, retain, motivate, and manage each generation, you can now create teamwork, not war, in today's highperformance workplace . . . where at any age, productivity is what counts.

Gone With the Wind (Deluxe 50th Anniversary box set)

Product Description

Hot-tempered, self-centered, part-Irish Southern beauty Scarlett OHara, played to the teeth by Vivien Leigh, loves the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). Smug, rebellious, honest, blockade-running profiteer Rhett Butler, portrayed gracefully and naturally by Clark Gable, loves Scarlett. Ashley, who is also in love with Scarlett, marries his genteel cousin Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) because he believes that their quiet similarities will create a better marriage than Scarletts passion. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Rhett and Scarlett at their first encounter and continue throughout Scarletts first two marriages. Scarlett and Rhett finally wed, but Scarlett continues to pine for her beloved Ashley. Set against the Civil War and Southern Reconstruction, this tragic love quadrangle offers the burning of Atlanta and fields of wounded Confederates as part of its lush scenery. Meticulous backdrops, glorious sunsets, numerous silhouettes, and the ultrasaturated Technicolor film create a hyperreal vision. The romantic score is every bit as lush and dramatic as the photography, borrowing folk melodies from the Old South to make the tragic war concrete. Heavy nostalgic tones pervade the often witty dialogue and larger-than-life charms and faults of the leads. GONE WITH THE WIND stands among the greatest epic dramas ever filmed.This beautiful 50th Anniversary box set was a limited edition commemorative released in 1989 that salutes the half century mark of its release with a beautifully restored and digitally reproduced sound and picture image for optimal clarity. The set also includes a booklet with interesting features of the cast and crew.

The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America Human Tradition Around the World No 5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 3.0
Review: 1
Studio: SR Books
The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America is an anthology of life stories of largely ordinary individuals struggling to forge a life during the unstable colonial period in Latin America. These mini-biographies show the tensions that emerged when the political, social, religious, and economic ideals of the Spanish and Portugese colonial regimes and the Roman Catholic Church conflicted with the realities of daily life in the Americas. The essays examine subthemes of gender roles; race and ethnicity; conflicts over religious orthodoxy; and crime, violence, and rebellion, while illustrating the overall theme of social order and disorder in a colonial setting. Professor Andrien has carefully selected pieces to comprise a volume that is well balanced in terms of geography, gender, and ethnicity. Written by established scholars, the essays are designed to be readable and interesting to students. Ideal for courses on Colonial Latin American history and the Latin American history survey, The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America will interest as well as inform students.

A Matter of Interpretation Federal Courts and the Law The University Center for Human Values Series
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 4.0
Review: 34
Studio: Princeton University Press
We are all familiar with the image of the immensely clever judge who discerns the best rule of common law for the case at hand. According to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a judge like this can maneuver through earlier cases to achieve the desired aim--"distinguishing one prior case on his left, straight-arming another one on his right, high-stepping away from another precedent about to tackle him from the rear, until (bravo!) he reaches the goal--good law." But is this common-law mindset, which is appropriate in its place, suitable also in statutory and constitutional interpretation? In a witty and trenchant essay, Justice Scalia answers this question with a resounding negative. In exploring the neglected art of statutory interpretation, Scalia urges that judges resist the temptation to use legislative intention and legislative history. In his view, it is incompatible with democratic government to allow the meaning of a statute to be determined by what the judges think the lawgivers meant rather than by what the legislature actually promulgated. Eschewing the judicial lawmaking that is the essence of common law, judges should interpret statutes and regulations by focusing on the text itself. Scalia then extends this principle to constitutional law. He proposes that we abandon the notion of an everchanging Constitution and pay attention to the Constitution's original meaning. Although not subscribing to the "strict constructionism" that would prevent applying the Constitution to modern circumstances, Scalia emphatically rejects the idea that judges can properly "smuggle" in new rights or deny old rights by using the Due Process Clause, for instance. In fact, such judicial discretion might lead to the destruction of the Bill of Rights if a majority of the judges ever wished to reach that most undesirable of goals. This essay is followed by four commentaries by Professors Gordon Wood, Laurence Tribe, Mary Ann Glendon, and Ronald Dworkin, who engage Justice Scalia's ideas about judicial interpretation from varying standpoints.

Tragedy in the Holy Land The Second Uprising
Binding: DVD
Rating: 3.5
Review: 21
Studio: Mpi Home Video
Tragedy in the Holy Land: The Second Uprising focuses on the conflict in the Middle East exclusively from the point of view of the Palestinian people. Using standard documentary techniques, such as news footage, interviews with scholars, and commentary by visitors to the region, the long history of the conflict is chronicled in some detail. However, the film's content is so heavily slanted that it comes off as a strident denunciation of Israel and Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The anecdotal evidence offered is often dramatic, but without a balanced airing of some very controversial material, a viewer really has no sound basis upon which to decide what is true and what is propaganda. It can be commendable to present material that may not be well publicized, and there's nothing wrong with a documentary advocating a point of view. However, this video raises more questions than it answers. --Robert J. McNamara

Studio: Quality Information Publishers Inc.
The film is elegantly introduced and closed by Dorothy Thompson, who was a civil rights activist, journalist, and had just recently returned from an extended visit to the Middle East. She stresses the importance of relief of which without the approximately one million refugees would otherwise die of starvation and disease. This film was produced by the Council for Relief of Palestinian Arab Refugees and is the first to document Palestinian Refugees in the Middle East and marks the beginnings of a large scale American public concern for those marginalized by the religious and natural resource conflicts that, to this day, continue to haunt the Middle East. Makeshift schools, workshops, hospitals, and kitchens in the Gaza strip are the focus of the footage of this film. Footage of refugees living in ancient roman ruins is also shown despite the fact that these people refuse to allow close up shots to be taken because of religious beliefs. The narrator refers to them as 20th century cave dwellers who lifestyle is barely fit for wildlife. The films main goal is to show the suffering of these refugees to encourage increased donations by Americans who sympathize with their plight. Oddly enough the reason why the refugees have been forced to flee there homes in not even addressed. The efforts of the United Nations and its UNICEF branch to help these refugees are stressed. The daily rations given to the refugees total 1400 calories per day, which is severely short of the 2000+ calories that are needed to sustain good health.

Although the fighting lasted for only six days in June of 1967 the effects of the Six Day War are still apparent today. On its 40th anniversary the region remains trapped in conflict and is every bit as explosive as it was then.For Israel the 1967 war was a military success. But it also redrew the map of the Middle East and mired the region in a never-ending cycle of occupation terrorism and reprisal. The Six Day War forever changed the politics of the Middle East by helping to destroy the secular basis of Pan-Arab nationalism and transform secular Zionism. It gave rise to a Palestinian nationalist movement and helped unleash the fury of fundamentalism.Shot on location in Israel Palestine Egypt Syria Jordan Moscow and Washington this powerful film takes us through the weeks that preceded the war its six days of fighting and its aftermath that still lingers today.System Requirements:Running Time: 108 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Music of the War Years - Remember the Fabulous 40's on 3 CDs, Plus Bonus "World In Conflict" DVD! TMG is proud to bring you the sights and sounds of World War II on this special bonus DVD, World In Conflict, containing almost three hours of historic newsreels and rare archival footage. This is the whole story, beginning with Japan's invasion of China and Germany's buildup and Blitzkrieg into neighboring Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1939. As Germany pounded London during the Battle of Britain and Japan's navy swept unopposed across the Pacific, nations in every corner of the globe were plunged ever deeper into what would become a world-wide conflagration. America's entry into the war, after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, marked a turning point. By war's end, 16 million American men and women enlisted in the military and countless others toiled at home in the fastest military build-up in history. Working with its Allies, America defeated the forces of darkness in Europe and the Pacific in less than four years, culminating with the fall of Japan and the signing of the peace treaty on the USS Missouri in August 1945. The World In Conflict DVD makes a perfect companion to The Music of the War Years CDs. The singers and musicians on the CDs gave much to the war effort, performing for troops at USO clubs and in battle theaters around the world and at home, keeping spirits high. The music endures, because it makes us sing, it makes us dance, and it reminds us of the courage, tenacity and unwavering spirit of America.

A foreign correspondents gripping account of his experiences in Congo, told through the long scope of the countrys dark and brutal history.After covering a brutal war that claimed four million lives, journalist Bryan Mealer takes readers on a harrowing two-thousand-mile journey through Congo, where gun-toting militia still rape and kill with impunity. Amid burned-out battlefields, the dark corners of the forests, and the high savanna, where thousands have been massacred and quickly forgotten, Mealer searches for signs that Africas most troubled nation will soon rise from ruin.At once illuminating and startling, All Things Must Fight to Live is a searing portrait of an emerging country devastated by a decade of war and horror and now facing almost impossible odds at recovery, as well as an unflinching look at the darkness and greed that exists in the hearts of men. It is nonfiction at its finestpowerful, moving, necessary.

Tears of the Desert A Memoir of Survival in Darfur
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 5.0
Review: 8
Studio: One World/Ballantine
Like the single white eyelash that graces her row of dark lashesseen by her people as a mark of good fortuneHalima Bashirs story stands out. Tears of the Desert is the first memoir ever written by a woman caught up in the war in Darfur. It is a survivors tale of a conflicted country, a resilient people, and the uncompromising spirit of a young woman who refused to be silenced.Born into the Zaghawa tribe in the Sudanese desert, Halima was doted on by her father, a cattle herder, and kept in line by her formidable grandmother. A politically astute man, Halimas father saw to it that his daughter received a good education away from their rural surroundings. Halima excelled in her studies and exams, surpassing even the privileged Arab girls who looked down their noses at the black Africans. With her love of learning and her fathers support, Halima went on to study medicine, and at twenty-four became her villages first formal doctor.Yet not even the symbol of good luck that dotted her eye could protect her from the encroaching conflict that would consume her land. Janjaweed Arab militias started savagely assaulting the Zaghawa, often with the backing of the Sudanese military. Then, in early 2004, the Janjaweed attacked Bashirs village and surrounding areas, raping forty-two schoolgirls and their teachers. Bashir, who treated the traumatized victims, some as young as eight years old, could no longer remain quiet. But breaking her silence ignited a horrifying turn of events.In this harrowing and heartbreaking account, Halima Bashir sheds light on the hundreds of thousands of innocent lives being eradicated by what is fast becoming one of the most terrifying genocides of the twenty-first century. Raw and riveting, Tears of the Desert is more than just a memoirit is Halima Bashirs global call to action.
