A New Beginning
After reading the entire series of the Corrie Belle Hollister Journals, I was so excited to see that Michael Phillips continued with her married life. I felt like I was part of the Hollister family. Another GREAT set of sequels! Can't wait for more.

Awesome!
If you like Gilbert Morris historical fiction books, you'll like these even more.
Keeping with family history and God's hand in people lives, this series will take you on a great journey of a Scottish family, with excitement, suspense and a great ending!

This is the greatest book I have ever read and would recommend it to anyone with a love of God and history. The Stonewycke Legacy(2) and the Stonewycke Trilogy(1) are spiritually uplifting and really fun adventures. You'll love them!


Technology Exchange in the Information Age: A Guide to Successful Cooperative R & D Partnerships

The most useful source on this subject.
This book is written primarily for people considering cooperative technical efforts between government and industry (from either side of the table). Although based on studies funded by the Air Force, the findings are applicable to industry cooperation with any mission-oriented government lab. The basic concepts apply to cooperation between any organizations with contrasting cultures. The book "starts from the beginning" for the new player, but even the most experienced practitioner will find something useful.

When I was manager of the Army-wide Technology Transfer Program, I found the First Edition so useful that I gave copies to the technology transfer representatives at each of the 50+ Army Labs. This new edition is timely because of rapid changes in the environment in both government labs and industry, as well as changes in the law and in Administration policy which make cooperation easier.

The authors consider the impact of cultural factors on technical cooperation, and show by example how cultural barriers can be overcome. In this case, the most important cultural factor is the contrast between the very reasons the organizations exist- "mission" vs. "profit". Most government labs are created and funded to achieve a specific "mission" (e.g. develop some type of military system). Diversion of effort from the mission is seen as improper and possibly illegal. In contrast, most industrial companies are created to make a profit for their owners. Undue delay, risk to intellectual property, or other threat to profit is unacceptable. Before these organizations can cooperate effectively, there must be a reasonable prospect of advancing the lab's mission while providing a (present or future) profit to the company. Finding mutually interesting projects and negotiating mutually beneficial agreements requires vision and understanding. The authors point out some of the needs and constraints likely to motivate each party, and provide examples of successful agreements.

Fortunately the law permi! ts arrangements which are much more flexible than those controlling government procurement, and the authors explore these options. The most popular tool, the Cooperative R&D Agreement, is analyzed in great detail.

The authors also address the practical problem of finding potential partners and provide a list and description of several matchmaking organizations, mostly government- funded, which facilitate contact between the parties. In the last few years the World Wide Web has become especially useful for finding partners, and the computer disk included with the book speeds access to the most important sites.

This book is really useful because it combines a broad conceptual understanding with a direct approach to practical problems. It combines the "why" with the "how" in a manner which is rare in any book on any subject.

Cooperative effort offers significant opportunities, but has many pitfalls. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to profit from the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls.

A unique, essential resource for technology exploitation.
This book is about technology application for competitive advantage in the international marketplace. It is a progressive, how-to handbook that leads the reader from the foundations of government-industry differences to the capstone of government-industry cooperation in joint efforts of technology deployment, economic strength, and national security.

The book is a second edition of a previous sell-out success. The new edition arises from the information explosion, and new government policies in the Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995.

The authors discuss the nitty-gritties of core competencies, funding and profit, and intellectual property rights. They address risk, technology cycle time, product versus process orientation, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation culture.

The chapter on "Building Bridges" is especially useful, describing three elements of successful technology exchange: networking, team building, and face-to-face coordination. The text defines "bridging organizations" as those that exist to enable technology exchange. It lists many examples in an appendix and in an enclosed disk file that includes clickable web site addresses.

A key contribution is the careful description of the cooperative research and development agreement (CRDA), which is a powerful, yet complex, mechanism for technology transfer. The book includes a model CRDA that may be used by readers to develop their own working agreements in practice.

The authors discuss measurement, including both activity and process metrics, and offer examples for consideration. They close with a discussion of leadership as an encompassing influence, and present a seven-step prescription for technology transfer success.

This is a book for the real world. Those who battle in the business arena--and seek new means to prevail--should not pass it up.

George MacDonald's Best Novel!
This is a wonderful story of a young man who, in order to raise enough money to return to University, takes a job as a tutor at a wealthy estate. He soon finds love and nurturing, however, from a simple pious Scotch family nearby. Though his travels take him off to England and eventually to London he never completely forgets the valuable lessons that his spiritual father instilled in him. This story has ghosts, haunted mansions, secret passages, hypnotism, magic rings, songs, poems, beautiful ladies and sinister villans. The individual characters are expertly developed and extremely complex in their behaviors. I also recomend that you get the full length version from Sunrise Publishers or Johannesen Printing & Publishing entitled "David Elginbrod". The first 80 pages are a little difficult because of the Scotch dialect, but can be easily figured out.

Classic George MacDonald
This is an updated, easier-to-read version of George MacDonald's novel _David_Elginbrod_. With his bits of poetic theology, he leads the characters and the reader to ultimate freedom from paralyzing fear. It tooks months for me to realize how much _The_Tutor's_First_Love_ affected my life because the truths in this book are not gaudy or sensational but they slowly replace fear with faith. The revival of the works of George MacDonald is truly a Godsend.

Not for all but unquestionably for some
Horn Book's review speaks for itself--if the standard is craftily turned sentences and plot, and amoral treatment of subject, this book is a failure. But for the reader who is able to be touched by the most tender family feelings and deep religious devotion; who believes that innocence and trust is the natural and desirable state for children; and who prefers words and ideas of plainspoken kindness and high hope, this book will satisfy, inspire, and confirm the best in us.

Great little book with lots of humor
This book was written by Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, and radio talk show host. Bob Phillips is a humorist and author. The book has over 2000 quotes covering hundreds of topics by Americans and about Americans. It also has lots of bible quotes and quotes by other non-Americans such as Alexander Pope and Cervantes for example. Quotes: Where do you go to get anorexia? ~Shelley Winters. Of two evils, choose neither. ~ Charles Spurgeon. Once I was a tapole when I began to begin. Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in. Next I was a monkey on a coconut tree. Now I am a doctor with a Ph.D. ~Anon. If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you dont want. ~ Oscar Wilde.

Excellent Book!
This was the first book by George MacDonald I've read, but this one made me want to go out and get another to read. I read this one over about two days, and I can honestly say that I had to put it down very unwillingly. I particularly love Barbara, Richard's friend, and that she's completely free from all prejudice. It seems those around her could learn a few things from her! The end was completely believable, which made it seem as though the story could have taken place. The characters were likewise very believable which lent to a very smooth plot.
