this book helped me to understand the meaning of avant-garde, and help push towards improving my knowledge of cultures which are unknown to many. if you want to spend that much money on a book then go ahead and get it, ASAP!

Very useful for those who have been practicing as well as those going to practice ECT. Questions at the end of each chapter help the memory to retain the learned information. James Staudenmeier, MD, MPH

I went to Columbia, with the most prominent 'great books' curriculum still in existence. 25 years later, I'm finding myself re-reading and discussing many of the titles. The Penn Greek Drama series is a handsome library of new translations that give fresh takes on the classics. It's useful to have Euripides on the shelf when you return home from the recent bravura performance by Fiona Shaw as Medea--it settled an argument too on how it 'originally' ended.

This is one of the most gospel-centered books I have ever read. Bishop Hanson explores "witnessing" but doesn't make me feel guilty because I "don't witness." This book is very pastoral and should be read by every person who has ever had doubts about God's whereabouts. And then re-read it. Keep it handy, and highlight as you read. The chapters on Worshiping, Equipping, Changing, and more, are equally as pastoral as Witnessing. Because it is designed to be used for discussion, it is Bishop Hanson's hope that ". . .every congregation . . . will gather around these themes for conversation and prayer, to seek togther to clarify a vision of what this church might be in mission." Your yoke will be lighter.

Gives McSweeney's a run for thier money. I am now eagerly awaiting works from several of these contributers.

Many people of moderate wealth can learn tax planning from this book in a simple and accessible way, from anecdotes combined with excellent brief tax explanations. Younger (30 to 40) folks can benefit the most because they have more financial years to gain from good decisions made today.

As a manager of separate individual stock market accounts, I have been interested in financial planning, but skeptical. This book really reaches me because it offers simple real life examples where I see the point and recognize client situations which can benefit from the solutions.

Dunn uses high profile individuals for many of his cases, drawing from news reports and other sources. When you hear about very good and woefully bad decisions made by folks such as Sam Walton, Warren Buffet, Jackie Kennedy and many others, the magnitude of savings from good decisions really comes home. You will see good reasons to get some competent help.

One of the best ways to learn about a subject is to talk to people who have been successful in the area. I enjoy the Leaders of the New Century Series because their interviews are close to having the conversations myself.

This edition has a strong orientation to the stock market / investment world. Between the interviews with Schwab and the heads of Nasdaq & the NYSE, I gained some real insight to the people controlling the stock market world.

There were some surprises as well. I have never heard Charles Schwab talk about how he had to overcome his learning disability before. It added some fascinating human elements to the leadership discussion.

I would have liked to hear more from Lance Armstrong. His segment was supposed to be short, but I would have liked even more.

This series is very strong. By hearing the actual interviews with these leaders, you pick-up much more than reading a summary.

This was a very worthwhile edition and I recommend it highly.

Herb Kelleher gives an extraordinary description of management and entrepreneurship that I want all my friends to hear. In 15 minutes, he unleashes what it takes to conceive a company (on a paper napkin), rally the troops to build it and inspire customers and employees to make it the clear winner in the business. Here's a tip for anyone who buys this CD. The Kelleher interview is in two parts, so be sure to get CD #5.

Herb Kelleher is a master of his craft -- having created one of the best airlines in history and certainly one of the most profitable of all time. His simple secret is to treat his people like gold, so they'll treat customers the same way! This series is a must-listen for any aspiring managers.
