This is a set of case study information out of a highly competitive commercial industry that has seen both public outlook and technology change dramatically over the last four decades. While told in story form, the lessons are real and translatable to other industries rather readily. It suggest that management (upper) should take a close look and the non-conforming individuals to find the results of their actions, and potentially give them some more rope to succeed with.

I had a great surprise when a friend from work lent me this book and said, "You have to read this." The book reads effortlessly, like a good friend telling you a great story. When I finished reading it I found the author had put a lot of things into perspective for me. I have a much greater insight into the maverick and how mavericks can benefit a business organization. For anyone in business this is required reading. For everyone else it is enlightenment and entertainment.

Cheverton's been-there-done-that business sense combines with a novelists knack for entertainment makes The Maverick Way a star in the crowded field of business books. Instead of charted, statisitically oriented information on climbing the corporate ladder, Cheverton takes us on a wild ride as the corporate Maverick is identified, makes waves, gets things done, leads when necessary, follows when he must and works his way through the system with a vision that can't be confined. The Maverick Way made me want to get to work, rethink my strategies and be a maverick too. When I was finished with this book I wasn't left with a list of things to do but with the true spirit of what makes business great, risky and so satisfying. A must read for anyone who is serious about making a mark.

This book is at my side every time I watch Wings. It has excellent statistics on use, combat history, developmental history, what countries employ the aircraft, and on the munitions they carry. It even gives flight data on the different types of missles used by militarys around the world. This is the finest and most comprehensive tome of its' type I have ever had the pleasure to read. The illustrations alone, surface and cutaway, are reason enough to buy the book. Why have you not updated and republished this work Mr. Gunston? It bears a reprise.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK, NOT ONLY LISTING MILITARY PLANES, THEIR VARIANTS, GREAT PICTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS, AND WHAT AIR FORCES USE THEM, BUT ALSO A LIST OF AIR FORCES AND WHAT AIRCRAFT THEY FLY. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD UPDATE AND RERELEASE THIS EXCELLENT REFERENCE.

So many pepole borrowed this book it was bounld not to return to me. I took my chances, lost and have been looking for it for 7 years. This is a great referance book. An invintory of the world's air power by country, a detailed and diagramed discription of hundreds of airplanes and missils. Someone please republish and update this excellent book.

OK. So you know your stuff. You have the credibility (education) and you have the experience (you have been there). You are ready to solve difficult problems for people. How do you let them know you exist?

Power Marketing for Consultants:142Insider Marketing Secrets Used by the Nation's Top Consultants, by Marjorie Brody, Allen D'Angelo, Bill Kerley, and Bernard Zick unveil the power marketing secrets that justify why top consultants are making four times as such money as average consultants and have more time to enjoy their own lives. The authors of Power Marketing for Consultants: 142 Insider Marketing Secrets Used by the Nation's Top Consultants (Power Marketing for Consultants) are all highly successful consultants who enjoy what they do and are highly respected in the consulting arena. Brody, D'Angelo, et al. have taken thousands of working hours over the last twenty-five years and clearly stated their marketing and consulting philosophy in their book. The authors' research has shown that there is a large group of consultants on the lower end of the success curve and those who fall among the nation's most successful consultants. Successful consultants are storyteller, magicians, and highly successful in their area of expertise. The "magic" that successful consultants seem to perform is a result of well organized and highly tactical "power marketing." Power Marketing for Consultants is organized into three major marketing topic areas: Power Marketing Strategies, Power Marketing Tactics, and Power Marketing Maxims. Within the three topic areas each one of the authors highlighted their own marketing issues and practices. Just as the title implies there are 142 tips or suggestions in the book; they serve as their own chapters within the three major marketing themes. It is easy reading and is very direct, nothing is held back. When comparing Power Marketing for Consultants to Peter Block's book Flawless Consulting, Second Edition I believe Brody, D'Angelo, et al's work to be more organized and targeted towards a more professional audience. The target audience reached by Brody, D'Angelo, et. al. are young professionals or those who trying to gain further success and insight in their own consulting career. Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, noted that, "Power Marketing for Consultants provides a rich source of valuable experience and insights for enhancing the consulting process." The authors of Power Marketing for Consultants have many of the same goals as Cialdini, they are result driven and have determined the only real challenge in life is getting people to comply with you. Getting compliance can be done several different ways, however, Brody, D'Angelo, et. al made several marketing suggestions to help consultants establish and maintain both valuable and beneficial relationships. In the "Power Marketing Strategies-Strengthening Your Foundation," portion of the book there are several helpful suggestions made. For example, writing down your goals, make a marketing log, keeping money in the bank, and obtaining better clients are just a few of the helpful suggestions given. "Power Marketing Tactics: Powering It Up," section made reference to joining professional and community organizations, hiring a public relations professional, getting into cyberspace, networking with non-competitive consultants, serving as a Master of Ceremonies, and writing articles for professional journals. Lastly, Brody, D'Angelo, et. al focuses on "Power Marketing Maxims: For Enduring Success" here they reinforce how important it is to be reliable and responsible, having a good sense humor, and understanding the Law of Cause and Effect. Brody, D'Angelo, Kerey, and Zick have taken their insider knowledge to what has made them successful and laid it out on the table; their work in this book clearly mirrors their success in each of their various areas of expertise. The information available in Power Marketing for Consultants: 142 Insider Marketing Secrets Used by the Nation's Top Consultants, by Marjorie Brody, Allen D'Angelo, Bill Kerley, and Bernard Zick is practical, sustainable, and time tested. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in being respected among the nation's top consultants.

I found this book at the library by chance. I was looking for a more books about Queen Elizabeth I. This book is a great introduction to women in history. It is easy enough for my then 8 year old to read for the Texas Reader's club. I am definitely checking it out for my 7 yr to use for her TX Reader's club requirements.

I checked "Ten Queens" out from my local library to brush up on my reading of some of my favorite historical figures of all time- Cleopatra VII and Eleanor of Acquitaine.
While the book shed great light on two of the most famous women in all of ancient/medieval history, the author also brought to light lesser known queens. All of a sudden, I have a great respect for the fearless Zenobia, the corageous Boudicca, and, of course, the Biblical Esther. He has done an oustanding job of researching all of the queens and presenting them all in a favorable light (though let's not forget Christina's hypocritical ways, Cleopatra's love affairs, and Catherine the Great's promiscuity- for history's sake).
All in all, a great book worth the money.

My nine year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed this overview of famous women rulers from ancient times to the 18th century.

This is a great book for any Cleveland Indians fan! I just Wish Lindy Powers would do more books on other sports teams as well! Would love to see some hockey teams do a book like this. Really awesome shots of the players and their families.

This is a great addition to any baseball fans library. Just wish there were more teams that would put out a book like this.

We all have been in difficult situations that tempt us to react in many different ways. This book shows us from scripture and personal experience how we are to properly respond and the unfathomable rewards in so doing.

I have found, along with others, that this book gives great practical help when it comes to dealing with life's 'impossible'situations. I highly recommend this book !

Thorough in its aims was this book. Read it again I would. Lost it I did, yes. Alludes to the Force it does. And enlightens readers, hee hee hee. Read this book you must, yes. As a young apprentice it is most necessary. Always search for more knowledge. Help you it can. Free you it will.

This book is a great resource for those wanting to learn about the power of pyramids. Bill Schull and Ed Pettit did a great amount of research into the subject and it is a very informative book.

This is, no doubt, the best book about the theme. It is in all university book's list in the world. It shows since the basics things about metering till most moderns equipaments on the market.

Mr. Cosby has written a great book. My 3 year old can't get enough of this book or the other Little Bill book. Captain Brainstorm is my sons favorite superhero. I highly recommend it for its colorful illustrations and its themes of teamwork, courage, and friendship.

Atlantis And The Power System Of The Gods: Mercury Vortex Generators And The Power System Of Atlantis is an articulate, detailed, hard-hitting metaphysical study and a very welcome contribution to Atlantean Studies. Part I is reprint in its entirety of the hard-to-find 1990 book "Mercury: UFO Messenger of the Gods" by Bill Clenendon, a fascinating, impressive look at ancient flying vehicles. Part II, by David Hatcher Childress, cogently addresses in depth the theories that the ancient civilization of Atlantis used broadcasting power from gigantic towers of crystal. Connections between Atlantis, Egypt, and Ethiopia are drawn in this fascinating, iconoclastic hypothesis of a power that transcends centuries and predates the era of western science.
