A fun book!.......2000-06-15

I liked this book a lot. I didn't laugh out loud all the way through, but a few cartoons really hit home. Especially the New Fad cartoons. That's so true, people think of us as jumping on a bandwagon, when this diet goes back to Pythagoras or even farther.

The Joy-LESS of Soy.......2000-03-31

I got this book as a gift and I thank God becasue, if I had actually paid money for it, I think I would have sued the publisher.

This book is unfunny and the cartoon artwork looks like it was drawn by a 5-year-old.

Save your money and buy a vegi-burger.

An ABSOLUTE Must-Have.......2001-07-18

You can learn and understand the relationships between the various financial statement and it demystifies what accountants and bankers look for. An absolute staple for any business owner! I *require* my clients to buy a copy and USE it.

Book Description

Reading Terminal Market has been at the heart of Philadelphia's commercial and social life from the beginning of its long and tumultuous history. Growing out of the first open-air markets of the colonial city, Reading Terminal Market--like all venerable institutions--has survived to its present vibrant form by adapting to and initiating change.

An innovator in cold storage at the end of the nineteenth century, the market established new standards for the buying and selling of food, revolutionizing the industry. Over the next century, it responded nimbly to the advent of the telephone and the automobile, and dodged threats from the Reading Railroad, the Great Depression, World War II, the rise of the supermarket, and unionization. Today, responding to a renewed yearning for local products, Reading Terminal Market retains its central prominence in the life of Philadelphia.

Book Description

"An engagingly written, thorough examination of the . . . day-to-day working of the labor market."--Journal of Economic History "Exemplary. . . . A major contribution."--Journal of American History "Licht contributes greatly to an understanding of the work force, the community, and the role of government and educational institutions on the economy."--Philadelphia Inquirer "This is the way labor history should be practiced: not a fable about good and evil, but an engagingly written, thorough examination of the mundane, yet important, day-to-day working of the labor market."--Journal of Economic History "A comprehensive treatment of how people became and remained workers in one of the nation's largest cities, and in it are lessons for today."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History How did working people find jobs in the past? How has the process changed over time for various groups of job seekers? Are outcomes influenced more by general economic circumstances, by discriminatory practices in the labor market, or by personal initiative and competence? To tackle these questions, Walter Licht uses intensive primary-source research--including surveys of thousands of workers conducted in the decades from the 1920s to the 1950s--on a major industrial city for a period of over one hundred years. He looks at when and how workers secured their first jobs, schools and work, apprenticeship programs, unions, the role of firms in structuring work opportunities, the state as employer and as shaper of employment conditions, and the problem of losing work. Licht also examines the disparate labor market experiences of men and women and the effects of race, ethnicity, age, and social standing on employment. Walter Licht is Professor of History and Associate Dean at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Working for the Railroad: The Organization of Work in the Nineteenth Century (recipient of the Philip Taft Labor History Prize), Industrializing America: The Nineteenth Century, and coauthor of Work Sights: Industrial Philadelphia, 1890-1950.

Book Description

A classic! Find inspiration in some of history’s great military victories as others have for over 2,400 years. Sun Tzu was the most famous military scientist, and one of the ablest commanders, in ancient China. Asian warlords, and modern leaders as dissimilar as Mao Tse-tung and General Eisenhower, have used his principles to change the shape of the world. Interpreted here by General Tao Hanzhang, one of the architects of the Communist Revolution, Tzu’s advice on timing, maneuvering, flexibility, and knowledge of the enemy’s leaders, strengths, and weaknesses is as powerful today as when it was first issued.

Customer Reviews:

Everyone should know about Sun Tzu..........2003-10-30

I take a star off because, frankly, alot of the geography/history is a bit too arcane for the Western reader.

But it's a great book nonetheless.

Excellent Interpretation.......2000-06-13

This book provides a modern and more digestable reading

Book Description

In the 1880s, an estimated 4,000 people lived in the Kinta District of Malaya. Twenty years later, with the discovery of tin deposits, the population had increased to 123,000, comprised mainly of Chinese immigrants who found employment as coolies in the open-cast mines. Although the tin
industry was gradually brought under the control of the British colonial government, the lives of the workers largely remained beyond its reach. This study of the Chinese working people in Kinta over a 100-year period explores how their lives have been affected by these changes and how they have
adjusted in order to meet the challenges posed by changing situations.
