Book Description

Jack Hagee, PI: "Hagee's Manhattan is the one the tourists don't get to see. It's those small twisty back streets in Chinatown, the reeking dumpster-filled alleys of midtown, the crumbling docks, the beer-drenched bars that stink of rotting foam and their patron's indifference. It is a lump of land 14 miles long stuffed with seven million people every day--which is apparently five and half million more than it can handle. It is a violent, twisted, thieving, scum-hole. It isn't really hell on earth, it's more what you get when you put too many rats in a cage and slam the door. If you picked the place up and moved it to Kansas and filled it with corn-fed farmers, in two weeks they would be littering, horn-blowing, sex crazed, in-your-****ing-face-every-damned-minute-of-every-***-licking-day, pissed-off, insensitive mother****ers with too much attitude who drink too much coffee.

defense on behalf of manson, directed to "excuses".......2004-02-12

I was reading the reviews on this autobiogrophy when I came across someones review speaking of Marilyn Manson has no charactor. This bothered me so I thought I would write a review on behalf of his defense. First of all, Marilyn Manson does not blame his parents; infact, he has been known to have a very good relashinship with both mother and father. In my opinion, he has moved on from the terrible brainwashing class's christian shcool put him through. Now, he simply writes about how stupid america really is..which is 100% factual. He is a amazingly talented musician that deserves much more respect*and yes this book is great,so is long hard road out of hell..buy!!*thank you

Marilyn Manson RULEZ !.......1999-07-29

If ya liked Marylin Manson, you loved this book ! IT RULEZ

An excellent, well-written book.......1999-06-29

Regardless of whether you like Marilyn Manson or not, if you want a well-researched, factual, and entertaining account of what he's all about, then buy this book. Any fan should have it, and anyone who wants to spout on about him should read it first. This book is very good.

I really like Mr.Manson.......1999-04-14

I think that Marilyn Manson is the best thing that has ever came out of music he is i don't know how some ppl can sit and judge somebody they don't know and don't take the time to know, it just makes me really mad cause Mr.Manson has been everything to me he has saved my life he just makes ppl feel good that they are themselfs and lets them know that you don't have to listen to what other ppl think about you now tell me why hate a person when they do things like that for other ppl? their is no reason right?

Excuses.......1999-03-21

People should have the ability to change the way they live.. not blame it on parents and other people. It's called Character - and Marilyn Manson has none of it.

Customer Reviews:

Ashes to ashes ..........2000-12-17

A thoroughly tepid and uninspired collection of short stories, poetry, and prose that will no doubt prove disenchanting for those of us who champion and cherish works published by independent presses. With few exceptions the prose/poetry in this anthology resides on the shallow, anemic, and dissolute side of underground literature available today. Although many of the featured writers have gone on to either achieve a modicum of fame, success, and/or notoriety (Kathy Acker being a notably conspicuous example) most of their work in this collection suffers from an insipid "ameteurism". Oh, to be sure, Creation Press billed this book as "estranged from the binds of linear narrative" (supposedly) in defiance of "the estabishment which seeks to perpetuate" all manner of drivel upon a predominantly infantilized mainstream audience inured to the schlock that is excreted by the media/press/etc. on a daily basis. But in order to produce good prose we still need/crave something intelligible, coherent, and honest before it can be recognized as art, literature, creative expression, whatever. So please do yourself a favor and don't bother even looking over this volume.

Different take on TV in our lives.......1999-10-01

Another gem from Perkinson. In this book he looks at the social changes and improvements that have happened since the advent of television in our lives. His theories are worth consideration. But read it yourself. I think Perkinson is a clear writer.

This is a useful book to read, and should be on any required reading course that includes Jerry Mander!

attractive & fairly comprehensive pictures of WW II aircraft.......1998-05-15

This 11 year old book has a wide range of attractive photographs of flying WW II aircraft and a glossary with pertinent facts and 3 view drawings of each aircraft pictured. It is a great first book for anyone just starting to be interested in aircraft of the WWII era. The photgraphs are exceptional and spawned the large yearly calendar of the same name. The late Jeff Ethell "compiled" this book, although author credit is to Phil Makanna. After you look at the pictures, make sure you read the adjacent commentaries. The only negative is the omission of several aircraft, significantly the Martin B-26 medium Bomber. Especially odd as the CAF's Carolyn was flying in 1987 when this book was published AND they included in this book the ultra-rare P82 "Twin" Mustang, not exactly a prolific WWII aircraft. This Book is worth searching for.

Book Description

Although much as been written about how to make better decisions, a decision by itself changes nothing. The big problem facing managers and their organizations today is one of implementation--how to get things done in a timely and effective way. Problems of implementation are really issues of how to influence behavior, change the course of events, overcome resistance, and get people to do things they would not otherwise do. In a word, power. Managing With Power provides an in-depth look at the role of power and influence in organizations. Pfeffer shows convincingly that its effective use is an essential component of strong leadership. With vivid examples, he makes a compelling case for the necessity of power in mobilizing the political support and resources to get things done in any organization. He provides an intriguing look at the personal attributes--such as flexibility, stamina, and a high tolerance for conflict--and the structural factors--such as control of resources, access to information, and formal authority--that can help managers advance organizational goals and achieve individual success.

Customer Reviews:

Older but still very relevant.......2007-01-10

Although much of the research described in this book was conducted some years ago, the conclusions are still very relevant. Pfeffer writes well, & the book is very readable. He also goes beyond the research at times to furnish the reader with suggestions that can be very useful for anyone who is part of an organization of any type. Power is a very real phenomenon, & members of organizations (and who isn't?) need to understand how it works & how to deal with it.

A classic, in the HBR style.......2006-07-05

This book is a must-have for any manager's bookshelf. It delves into a topic cited widely in management literature, but seldom covered in depth.

Frameworks for describing and explaining power in business are suggested, with numerous illustrations.

My only disappointments with the book are (a) the lack of empirical generalisations as a basis for the framework (in the HBR style, anecdote counts more than empirical generalision) and (b) the absence of practical advice on what to do with the framework.

Nevertheless, this is still a unique contribution to a very important subject and it is highly recommended.

Eye-opening read.......2006-02-25

Although I am not 100% on board with Pfeffer, he sure did get me thinking about how to recognize behaviors that may be related to power. He also gives excellent (although dated) real-life examples of how leaders used and failed to use politics, and the results of each. If you think politics in organizations stinks, read this book to get a different take. You may just discover some tools that will help you help others.

The ability to influence behavior, events and people.......2004-04-04

Jeffrey Pfeffer is Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, California. Previously he has been at the University of Illinois, the University of California at Berkeley, and as a Visiting Professor at the Harvard Business School. He has written several business- and management-related books.

This book consists of four parts, with each part consisting of 3-to-6 chapters. Pfeffer starts with a definition of power: "... the potential ability to influence behavior, to change the course of events, to overcome resistance, and to get people to do things that they would not otherwise do." This power is utilized and realized through politics and influence. Based on above definition the book discusses the details to the implementation process which consists of seven steps:
1. Decide on your goals.
2. Diagnose who is important in getting your goals accomplished.
3. Have a sense of the game being played, the players, and what their positions are.
4. Ascertain the power based of the other players, as well as your own potential and actual sources of power.
5. Determine your relative strength, along with the strength of other players.
6. Diagnose what is going to happen in an organization, as well as preparing yourself to take action.
7. Consider the various strategies or tactics that are available to you, as well as those used by others.

I believe it is important to keep these steps in mind since the book does not follow the sequence of these steps. The other chapters in Part I - Power in Organizations provide help both in diagnosing the extent to which situations are going to involve the use of power and in figuring out who the political actors are and what their points are likely to be. Some important quotes in this part are: "Power is a valuable resource [and] those who have power typically conserve it for important issues [scarcity and importance are correlated]." "Knowing the power of various organizational members and subunits is important, and so is understanding whose help you need in order to achieve your goals."

Part II - Sources of Power, consisting of 6 chapters, considers where power comes from, or some people and some subunits have more power than others. It offers implicit lessons on how to acquire more power and influence for ourselves. "Power comes from being in the 'right' place. A good place or position is one that provides you with: 1. control over resources.; 2. control over or extensive access to information; and 3. formal authority." By using both well-known and practical examples, the author discusses each of these aspects in detail. His view is that although individual attributes are important, being in the right place (in particular, the right subunit) is more important.

Once we know where power comes, we need to know how to use it effectively to get things done. This is the subject of Part III - Strategies and Tactics for Employing Power Effectively, which consists of 6 chapters. It begins with the topic of framing and how the way we see things depends upon the context in which they are seen. This, in turn, is affected by the principles of contrast, commitment, and scarcity. There is also the consideration of interpersonal influence by examining the impact of what others are saying or doing, the effects of liking, and the use of emotional contrast. Understanding this make it possible for us to consider some strategic elements in the exercise and development of power. "It is not enough to know that power exists. It is also critical to know how power is used - to have an arsenal of strategies and tactics that translate power and influence into practical results."

However, the discussions of the strategies and tactics for employing power might us lose sight of what organizations are all about - getting things done. Therefore the final section of the book, Part IV - Power Dynamics, begins by providing some cautionary ideas about how power is lost. It shows how even the mighty fall, and consider what this means for us as we think about own personal relationship to power and influence. This part also considers how power dynamics can be productive or unproductive for the organization. "The book is about managing with power, and it is also about managing power." The final chapter returns to the main subject of the book: getting things done through understanding and using power and influence. "... there is a greater sin than making mistakes or influencing others - the sin of doing nothing."

Yes, I do like this book. It discusses a subject with which most of us have to deal day-in day out, whether we like it or not. Jeffrey Pfeffer provides us with an excellent handbook for understanding power and influence, but also with strategies and tactics on using it. Pfeffer also recognizes that certain individuals are obsessed with politics and power (I think that most of you will know what I am talking about), and therefore finishes the book with some excellent cautionary advice. Although the author has a strong academical background the book is written in a very practical manner complemented with good, understandable examples. Highly recommended.

No Practical Advice.......2002-09-20

This book is too academic with little practical advice, and thus the one star.
