Excerpt: Banana WarsMexican Revolution World War IChina Expedition Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 June 21, 1940), nicknamed "The Fighting Quaker" and "Old Gimlet Eye", was a Major General in the U.S. Marine Corps, and at the time of his death the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. During his 34-year career as a Marine, he participated in military actions in the Philippines, China, in Central America during the Banana Wars, the Caribbean and during World War I, he served in France. By the end of his career he had received 16 medals, five of which were for heroism. He is one of 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions. In addition to his military achievements, he served as the Director of Public Safety in Philadelphia for two years and was an outspoken critic of U.S. military adventurism. In his 1935 book War is a Racket, he described the workings of the military-industrial complex and, after retiring from service, became a popular speaker at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists and church groups in the 1930s. In 1934 he was involved in a controversy known as the Business Plot when he told a congressional committee that a group of wealthy industrialists had approached him to lead a military coup to overthrow Frank...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=369961 ...

Product Description
Crisis of Conscience featurespersonal stories by Arkansas Methodist pastors, laypersons, and community leaders -- including Dale Bumpers, M. Jocelyn Elders, and Miller Williams -- who lived through the struggles for civil rights in the 1950s and saw their congregations and other institutions rocked by the tumultuous events of the history-making era. The book also depicts the desegregation of Hendrix College, the prophetic role of Philander Smith College in civil rights activism, and the experiences of other Arkansas Methodist institutions in the great freedom struggle that caused many of the state's church members to realize they could no longer reconcile their belief in God with participation in a segregated society. ...

Buyer beware - this is a collection of Wikipedia articles
We (college library) just bought this book at a student's request for a research paper.Turns out that in the copyright information, the publisher attributes the text to Wikipedia (it's listed as the online edition).I checked a couple of the biographies, and they are word-for-word from the Wikipedia articles. ...

Outdated - not even usable!
Unfortunately, I should have noticed reviews for this book were almost a decade old! The BCII (personality/interests) test included with the book is only available on a FLOPPY DISK! Going online to the author's website leads to a $99 fee for the test. Without the test results, the book itself, which analyzes the different profiles and career matches, is useless. What a let down.

More Relevant than "Color...Parachute"
I read this books three years ago, and it still is the basis for how I approach not only my career but every single project I get on as a consultant.This books focuses on self-diagnosis of one's skills as it relates to the business world (whether you are above/below average in the quants area, creative area, etc.) and essentially reveals what your core strengths are vis-a-vis the universe of other business-people (over 5,000 or so high achieving MBAs and executives). I have since focused on taking on work that capitalizes on these core strengths and the results have been amazing.It's like reviewing a diet program three years after you experienced it -- if I still think it is great, there must be a reason. Buy the book. It may be the only one you need.

A fabulous book
Perhaps the person who gave this book one star is not really among the intended audience.The insights are based on a high-achieving and high-profile group: business executives and students that the authors have encountered at Harvard Business School.This sample is not your typical slice of the population, which is what makes their analysis so good.They have analyzed this very high-achieving and intelligent group to find out what motivates them and what interests them.If you find yourself at a crossroads in your career, questioning how you got where you are or why you do what you do, the tools for self-analysis provided here may be very useful.

While there was some redundancy, I have found this to be typical of books of this type in which not all sections are applicable to every reader.It is also not really appropriate to read it through beginning to end in the manner of a novel; if you do, you'll be reading a lot of variations of the same themes.Focus on the parts that are relevent based on the included profiling tool and your own self understanding.It was helpful to me in recognizing career paths I may not have considered, and also in affirming strategies for success that I had formulated on my own but not tested.If you want to avoid simply falling into a career that may or may not be what you want, this book can help you better consider what will make you happy and what your real goals are, without too simplistic an approach.

Don't bother
This book was a waste of time.The authors were too wordy.They spent a lot of time boosting their egos - telling you the things they had done, even though it didn't help the reader at all.Throughout the book they recapped too much.Each chapter wasted 2 to 5 pages describing what was coming in the chapter.Points and paragraphs were continually restated and repeated.The book could have been 1/4 of the size.There were way too many case studies, and very few were of any help.This book was a waste of money and a waste of time.

EUREKA!!, FINALLY THE DIRECTION I NEEDED
I have read several books pertaining to career development. This book is the most effective tool i have found in determining my carreer path. Bravo!! ... Read more

Product Description
As questions of citizenship generate new debates for this generation of Americans, Thomas argues for revitalizing the role of literature in civic education. He considers 4 case studies in which individuals are presented in literature as "the good citizen," "the patriotic citizen," "the independent citizen," and "the immigrant citizen." He also provides analysis of the civic mythology surrounding Abraham Lincoln and the case of Ex parte Milligan. Engaging current debates about civil society, civil liberties, civil rights, and immigration, Thomas draws on the complexities of law and literature to probe the complexities of U.S. citizenship. ...
