5-0 out of 5 stars New Venture Bible
Although I studied Entrepreneurism and now teach the subject at Waseda University in Tokyo Japan, I learned a number of things and synthesized a few things using Gordon's models that made it much easier for students to digest. This is the best book/text I know of to teach upper level undergraduates or beginning graduates students in management. I started an apparel company in 1989 and I wish I had this book as a guide. I made a lot of mistakes that I could have avoided using the information in this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book may also work its inspirational magic on you!
Gordon's Entrepreneurship 101 is one of the best books I've ever read!This all-in-one business book ranges from the entrepreneur's mindset to the actions taken. It develops a series of unique frameworks, models, and tips for essential entrepreneurial "thriving forces," the forces that not only lead the entrepreneurs to be successful, but also shape their business to be promising. Through a systematic approach and interactive learning model professionally designed by the author, the book enriched me more solid skills of HOW to turn our idea into a money machine that produces sustainable long-term profit more easily.Another feature of this book I particularly like is that the various analysis tools briefed in charts and exhibits can be downloaded from the website for our personal use.

I also appreciate the writing style in clear and direct presentation, which sort of exposed me to quick digesting, to quick absorbing, to quick thinking, to quick acting, and to quick changing.The best part of this book is the "Action" section at the end of each chapter.After getting the entrepreneur's mindset and being trained to think and act like an entrepreneur, you can't wait to take actions to be a real, ambitious and successful entrepreneur!

I highly recommend this book to all my friends, business partners and the people who are reading my review: don't miss this book; this book may also work its inspirational magic on you!As a venture capitalist, I can confirm with you that the people who possess the spirit of Entrepreneurship 101 are our investment targets!

Chapter 1
Snowflakes from the Secretary


In late 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld summoned the senior military leadership to his office on the E-ring of the Pentagon. It had been an extraordinarily eventful period for the administration of George W. Bush. Kabul had recently fallen. U.S. commandos and Pashtun commanders in southern Afghanistan were on the hunt for Osama bin Laden. In Bonn, Germany, the United States and diplomats from allied nations were prepared to anoint a new group of Afghan leaders.

During his short tenure at the Pentagon, Rumsfeld had established himself as an indomitable bureaucratic presence. It was a commonplace among the Bush team that the military needed stronger civilian oversight, and Rumsfeld exercised control with the iron determination of a former corporate executive. He had a restless mind and was given to boast that he was genetically impatient.

When he arrived at the Pentagon, Rumsfeld made clear that his goal was nothing less than to remake the U.S. military to fashion a leaner and more lethal force. Notepads were strewn throughout his outsized office. When the defense secretary had an idea he scribbled it down. Four-star generals and high-ranking aides were accustomed to receiving snowflakes: terse memos that captured his latest brainstorm or query and that landed with a thud.

Rusmsfeld had been receiving his daily CIA briefing shortly before the American Airlines plane plowed into the building on September 11. Afterward, he had staked out a clear position on how the Bush team should respond. The United States should take the fight to the Taliban and Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, but it would not end there. The Pentagon needed to take an even more forceful step that would let its enemies know that the United States was now involved in a global war against the terrorists and the renegade states that helped them. The U.S. needed to land a series of blows well beyond Afghanistan. The question was where and when to strike.

The defense secretary’s meeting had been called to ponder the war plan for another potential adversary. General Richard B. Myers, the pliable chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) who was picked by Rumsfeld because of his reputation as a team player, was there. So was Peter Pace, the ambitious vice chairman who was already being talked about as an officer who might follow in Myers’s footsteps. Greg Newbold, the three-star general who served as chief operations deputy for the JCS, had the main assignment for the session. He was to outline Central Command’s OPLAN 1003-98, the military’s contingency plan in the event of a war with Iraq.

Newbold was armed with a pile of slides as the generals and Rumsfeld sat around a conference table. As Newbold outlined the plan, which called for as many as 500,000 troops, it was clear that Rumsfeld was growing increasingly irritated. For Rumsfeld, the plan required too many troops and supplies and took far too long to execute. It was, Rumsfeld declared, the product of old thinking and the embodiment of everything that was wrong with the military.

Myers asked Rumsfeld how many troops he thought might be needed. The defense secretary said in exasperation that he did not see why more than 125,000 troops would be required and even that was probably too many. Rumsfeld’s reaction was dutifully passed to the United States Central Command.1

“My regret is that at the time I did not say, ‘Mr. Secretary, if you try to put a number on a mission like this you may cause enormous mistakes,’ ” Newbold later recalled. “Give the military the task, give the military what you would like to see them do, and then let them come up with it. I was the junior military guy in the room, but I regret not saying it.”2

The 1003 plan was ripe for review and was based on the assumption that it would be Iraq that would sta ... Read more

I understand the ire of a person who resents having to be compared with the general population, rather than to a specialized group the person wishes to become a member of, to have accommodations, but I feel that in her chapter on testing accommodations she does explain her viewpoint and the legal underpinnings of her opinion.In general, this book is a very good guide to documentation standards, provides forms that are useful, and is well worth the money as a reference book.

In Notes from the Cosmos, Gordon-Michael Scallion relates an engaging autobiographical tale of his transformation from electronics consultant to intuitive futurist. Once his psi powers become full-blown, he shares information and visions that come through from his "higher self." Much like Jane Roberts's groundbreaking Nature of Personal Reality, Scallion describes the architecture of the universe--time, space, consciousness, extra-historical facts about the human race, life on Mars, etc. Parascientific explanations on the psychic properties of gem stones and color are particularly fascinating. While many of his global predictions are either too vague (e.g., water is to be of prime importance), too far in advance (predicting an earthquake in L.A. at no particular time and then claiming when one occurs a year later it's the one predicted), too far-fetched (the U.S. becomes 13 colonies by 2012), or too obvious (predicting an earthquake in L.A. in which freeways collapse) to be particularly credible, there is a storehouse of insight and knowledge here that the silly predictions don't dispel. --P. Randall Cohan ... Read more

This is utter nonsense.Don't waste your time reading his material.It is a shame that so many people are sucked into this nonsense.If you want to waste your money, go ahead, be my guest, but don't blame me that I did not warn you.Do your own research on the internet, before you buy any of his books.

Amazon should come up with a negative star rating for material of this caliber.

1-0 out of 5 stars Gordon Michael Scallion is....
Although gordon Michael Scallion is a decent human being, like most self-discovered or self-proclaimed "prophets" in this day and age they usually modify predictions to fruition, ignore failed predictions and hail realized ones; and whats worse, many of the realized ones had a 50-50 chance of coming true. Of course something "bad" will eventually happen: the real prophet knows when EXACTLY. LOOK UP PREDICTIONS ON "GOOGLE" FOR SUCCESS RATE ON HIS GUESSES.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
On page 173:
The purpose of prophecy is twofold. On one hand, it
allows those who read the signs to prepare for what
may come -- a warning. On the other hand, it
allows some who read the signs to change that which
may come to be.

5-0 out of 5 stars I could not put the book down..it's that good!
I'm already reading this book for a second time; I could not absorb it all the first time.Maybe I'll end up reading it a third time; feel good, nurished.

The "Notes from the Cosmos" has a genuine feelabout it; the material itself is not "new" as I've been familiarwith much of it.There is an account of Gordan's contact with his higherself who he calls his "Monad" ... where Monad is defined byanother (ie: Manly P. Hall) as the entity that manifests (projects) part ofitself on the earth plane (being pure and beyound defination).A directcontact with one's Monad would be pretty rare and unusual....and if it'strue...and I feel it is...then alot of the material in the book can betaken seriously.

3-0 out of 5 stars A Good Read
If you have studied Edgar Cayce at all, there is not much new here but I always enjoy reading about someone's spiritual journey.A good primer to this book would be Church's "Edgar Cayce: The Story Of The Soul." I applaud Scallion for his courage and convictions although there is astrong sell for his newsletter. ... Read more

Michael Chekhov, nephew to the Russian playwright and student of Stanislavski, left Russia and his mentor behind to pursue a career as an actor, director, and teacher in Europe and America. While he was an early advocate of Stanislavski, Chekhov differed from the great teacher in important respects, particularly in his insistence on the use of imagination as opposed to memory in creating a role. (In a famous anecdote, Chekhov once performed a "sense memory" exercise in which he broke down over the tragic death of his aunt. When complimented on the truthfulness of his emotion, he admitted that his "aunt" was entirely imaginary.) One of Chekhov's innovations of technique is the "psychological gesture," in which a repeated external action leads to an internal revelation. Due to his insistence on the importance of the physical rather than the simply intellectual, Chekhov's book is as focused on following its series of exercises as it is in study; acting, he would remind us, is always fundamentally a verb. For actors who feel "hemmed in" by an overinsistence on "feeling" a part or in drawing from their own experiences to feed a role, Chekhov's focus on the primal and limitless nature of imagination is tremendously liberating. --John Longenbaugh Book Description

The most authoritive, authentic text of a classic guide to acting

In the four decades since its first publication, Michael Chekhov's To the Actor has become a standard text for students of the theater. But To the Actor is a shortened, heavily modified version of the great director/actor/teacher's original manuscript, and On the Technique of Acting is the first and only book ever to incorporate the complete text of that brilliant manuscript. Scholars and teachers of Chekhov's technique have hailed On the Technique of Acting as the clearest, most accurate presentation of the principles he taught Yul Brynner, Gregory Peck, Marilyn Monroe, Anthony Quinn, Beatrice Straight, and Mala Powers, among others.

This new, definitive edition of Chekhov's masterful work clarifies the principles outlined in To the Actor concerning the pivotal role of the imagination in actors' understanding of themselves and the roles they play. On the Technique of Acting also expands on Chekhov's previously published work with many unique features, including:

  • Thirty additional exercises
  • A chapter devoted to screen acting
  • More thorough explanations of the Psychological Gesture, inner tempo vs. outer tempo, and other key concepts of Chekhov's approach

For actors, directors, and anyone interested in the theater, On teh Technique of Acting is an essential handbook. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars An outstanding read!
This book is a must for all actors film or stage. It helps one to evaluate your method of acting and helps one to learn using easy step by step methods of each exercise.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Imaginitive Realm
It would be interesting to read this book alongside Mamet's "True and False." Chekov's passion for creation and exploration through the imagination, set against Mamet's scorn of invention on the part of the actor. Mamet dismisses the idea that character exists and that an actor can "become" the character. Chekov meditated in order to try and commune with the spirit of the character.

Two very different approaches.

In spite of the practical application of Chekov's ideas, there is a childlike hunger here for the imaginitive and mysterious that I feel is critical for any artist. We can appreciate that Chekov defied Stanislavski in search of something of his own, and here is perhaps the most interesting point: Chekov's method was deeply personal. He created his own approaches, and took bold risks in doing so. I most enjoyed the descriptions that his book has of how Chekov would create his own characters.

That any artist could throw themselves into their work with such interest and abandon is thrilling.

5-0 out of 5 stars Stresses the fantastic and imaginative!
Again my mantra about acting books remains . . .

Reading an acting book must be taken inside the context of personal experience of either production or an acting class.

I value Checkov for the simple reason that, although he often comes across as nebulous and abstract, he stresses the fantastic and imaginative elements of acting.

Escewing working from the emotional inside out Checkov, a veteran of the Moscow Art Theatre, stresses finding the character through imaginative excercises that first engage the external elements of the actor's instrument namely in the creation of fantasy atmospheres and communion with the audience.

Building upon Jung's theories of the Universal Archetype, I find Checkov's bit about the psychological gesture and "living statues"most helpful in teaching, acting and directing.

In a professional world where gut wrenching, self absorbed displays of therepy induced emotion passes for true acting, I find Checkov's teachings most helpful in inspiring the true reasons many find themselves drawn to the stage: the wonder and excitement of telling an imaginative story. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Infertility FAQs in one neat package
When a couple is suffering through infertility, they have a million questions. Fertility Drs. Gordon and DiMattina attempt to cover the basics in a single, reliable source with 100 Questions & Answers About Infertility.

They start with the basics: What is infertility and what does normal reproduction look like? Then they move on to infertility evaluation and treatments. Next they touch on specific problems such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Tubal Disease, Male Factor, and Endometriosis. They address treatment options, specifically Intrauterine Insemination, In Vitro Fertilization, and Third-Party Reproduction. They also answer questions regarding lifestyle (stress, exercise, etc.) in regard to reproduction, and finally they address pregnancy loss. There is also a plethora of statistical information.

If you find yourself in the throes of infertility and you are lost in the lingo, this book may be a good start. It will answer many clinical and technical questions you may have about your problem and where to start. This book will be especially helpful for those who have the conditions mentioned and those who want details on medical measures. It should also help you decide what steps you want to take in the process. The information seems, in my experience, to be accurate and up to date.

What this book won't do for you is answer the more emotional side of infertility. It won't tell you that taking Clomid might cause you to cry for weeks on end. It won't tell you that you will get pregnant. And it won't have a definitive answer for why you aren't achieving pregnancy when all the testing says there is no reason. However, this is a very informative book on many of the more common and clinical aspects of the process.

Armchair Interviews says: A book with answers to many questions some couples might have

What a great book!This book is a wonderful launching place for someone facing infertility and needing answers.I have already been through some treatments and learned new things reading this book.I liked that the definitions for words used in the text were right in the margin of the page.It is easy to follow, but the authors do not talk down to you.Good balance of information.

5-0 out of 5 stars One stop shopping for all your questions
I've been having infertility issues for almost 6 years and I've purchased several on-topic books during this time. No book covers as much detailed information in as few pages at this one.I read the entire book the night I received it.The authors honestly acknowledge the frustrations accompanying the mysteries of fertility while outlining the proven medical procedures that lead to parenthood.My favorite thing about the book is that it assumes that the reader is an intelligent, resourceful patient who is approaching her infertility with a problem-solving mentality. I wish I had bought this years ago!

5-0 out of 5 stars Finally, answers to all our infertility questions!
I have read many books on infertility.The topic can be overwhelming, just as the treatments can be. (I am in my 3rd round of IVF.)"100 Questions and Answers about Infertility" is by far the best infertility book available.First of all, Dr. Gordon makes you feel "normal" by listing all the questions you have, but might not realize everyone else also has.Then he answers them in a manner that is easy to understand, yet technical enough to help you broaden your understanding of infertility. In addition, they have patients who share their first hand experiences in the book.It's another example of how they make you feel less alone during an unchartered experience. (And yes, despite this being my 3rd round of IVF, there is always something new and scary...but this time I could just open up my book, and better understand what was going on!)
I am truly grateful that Dr. G and D wrote this book.It is the perfect handbook for anyone experiencing the trials and tribulations of infertility. ... Read more

Book Description
Autobiography of a Georgia Cat is the story of a Southern African-American family as it struggles with the illness and death of a granddaughter who is married to a Jewish man. Spiritual and family themes are emphasized. The story is narrated by Black Jack, the remarkable family cat, who also tells of his own life as an indoor-outdoor cat in Marietta, Georgia. Much space is devoted to "feline" mythology and spirituality which have a distinctly Native-American flavor. The strands of many cultures are woven into the fabric of this story, leaving the reader with a positive message of hope and of the oneness of all things. Animal lovers will never look at their pets the same again after meeting Black Jack, a deeply spiritual cat with a wry sense of humor. He agonizes through the alcoholism of his guardian, Archie, and the increasing decrepitude of Archie's wife, Cora, and her centenarian mother. The constant outpouring of gospel music from Mama's radio adds to the spiritual power of this charming and touching story. Whether from his commentary on dogs, fur balls, human nature, or whatever he has on his mind as he tells his tale, the reader will know that he has had an encounter with a wise, wonderful, and unforgettable feline. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Great concept, bad title
This would be a much better book if the author would change the title. While the title may accurately reflect the feelings of some siblings, the book might get left around the house and generate some hurt feelings. Because of this, I keep it in my closet bookshelf, not in my waiting room.

Once past the title, the book has wonderful, amusing illustrations and the text keeps elementary school siblings interested. The sister eventually does come to appreciate her impulsive brother, but kids will keep coming back to that title...

2-0 out of 5 stars My Brother's a World-Class Pain:A Sibling's Guide to ADHD/
This book did not quite meet my expectations.I have a daughter who is almost six and a son, who has ADHD, who is eight.Perhaps for an older child, this book would be appropriate.However, I found that I skimmed pages to try to find something that my daughter could relate to.More illustrations, in color, and less text would be more appropriate for children ages four to six.Perhaps more of a story line.Overall, I think she did get some useful insights out of it, but reading it to her was not an easy task.It is very wordy and comes across as written by an acadamician for a child. If I could, I would rate it 2.5 stars.I think the need is great for a book that addresses the siblings of children with ADHD. Perhaps one aimed at the younger child would help fill the need.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is great!
The big sister in this book is a great story teller!She explains in kids' words the condition her brother has and how they handle it.She iscandid in saying it often bothers her,which is good because siblings canoften bear the brunt of ADHD family/home problems.It's important thatkids know what happens if they have a brother or sister with ADHD, what toexpect, and how they can even help.My seven-year-old daughter has gaineda lot of wisdom from it in trying to understand her cousin who has thiscondition!I recommend it. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Very dry for the interest subject
The book was edited in 1994 and does not reflect the latest changes in the law, especially European one (including Eastern Europe).In addition it is very dry.The best part of the book is the history of law development and description of judicial system in France, Germany and England. But thats it! Only West European law is reviewed; nothing about Islamic law, law of African countries (I would like to have brief description at least); the description of Russian law is laughable,no insight.

Bottom line, if you have a choice DO NOT buy it or buy a used one... ... Read more
