A positive view of power for women.......2004-06-15
In this excellent book, psychologist Priscilla V. Marotta, PhD, provides helpful guidance for women seeking to become more comfortable with their own power. A key premise is that, while many women have learned to associate the word "power" with domination, control, and power over others, positive power is the ability to achieve, take action, and use one's power in cooperation with others. Marotta describes 10 power robbers common to many women (all of which felt very familiar) and 10 useful power lessons to replace them. I appreciated her summary of feminism from 1792 to the present; she included this because of her belief that our past provides needed keys to our future. This summary leads to a thoughtful chapter titled "Feminism Needs a Facelift," which emphasizes the need to eliminate internal conflict and focus on a common theme where all options are available to everyone...men and women. In "The Wisdom of Women," Marotta describes strengths common to many women that we need to better value and appreciate; my only concern here is that she alternates between including terms like "tend to" and using terminology that makes it sound like all women share certain characteristics (which doesn't take individual differences into account). This is a minor issue, though. She concludes with an invitation to celebrate and further women's accomplishments. Throughout, Marotta uses helpful examples with real women and a cognitive approach that provides a positive alternative to limiting ways of thinking.
A great wake-up call for women!.......2000-05-30
Dr. Marotta shows us that there is absolutely no reason why women can not achieve the maximum desired success level in both their personal and professional lives. Her suggestions on how to balance work and family, tap your own personal talents and to "create versus wait" are invaluable tips for anyone wanting to succeed.
An insightful exploration of behavior patterns and feminism.......1999-06-13
The book Power and Wisdom identifies several "power robbers" (behavior patterns which prevent full potential from being realized and inhibit success) and offers insight into changing these behavior patterns with a view toward confident, effective communication. It outlines the true meaning of feminism clearly and consisely. Thought provoking and extremely well written. Strongly recommend as a must read book!
A great confidence builder for any woman in the workplace.......1999-05-29
In Power and Wisdom Priscilla Marrotta clearly identifies the issues that face women in the workplace and then carefully takes the reader through some basic self-assessment steps. Using many true stories, and offering confidence building tips, this is an ideal disussion tool for mentors and work colleagues. It validates women's efforts to take their place along side men and share equally in the power of management and decision making. Also has a great resources section at the end, including a list of every key women's group.
A must for every woman (& man) who wants it all, & then some.......1999-04-16
Great advise for all who want to make the most of their talents and expertise in the business world. Dr. Marotta shares simple but profound insight on the subject of power: how to get it and how to keep it. She takes the wisdom of the ages and applies it to the modern world. Highly recommended.

Not quite what I expected........2002-04-12
I purchased this book because it was the only one I found that addresses only the topic of jobs and activities after retirement. Most retirement books focus on the financial aspects of retirement. If I had looked at this book in a store, I would not have purchased it. The author shares anecdotes of how some people selected the job or activity they are currently doing in retirement. I expected a much more detailed and serious listing. I do not have a desire to be a clown when I retire.
Book Description
"It's going to change the world."-Dean Kamen
They came from across the country and from the lab down the hall. Some left behind lucrative jobs, some moved their families. Each hand-picked engineer was drawn by the same irresistible lure: the chance to work with a brilliant, eccentric inventor on a secret project. Dean Kamen was already a millionaire with an impressive list of medical inventions to his name, but none of them had excited him like his newest world-changer. Extraordinary things were happening inside his New Hampshire laboratory, things no one could find out about-at least not yet.
This is the unforgettable story of "Ginger," officially named the Segway Human Transporter: a self-balancing, electric-powered people mover that Kamen called "magic sneakers." With the pacing and excitement of a suspense novel, Code Name Ginger documents the birth of a marvelous new technology and the feats of its remarkable inventor, his team of engineers, and the financiers who pursued them.
Steve Kemper was the only journalist granted complete access to the Ginger project as the machine was designed, prototyped, and readied for manufacture. He takes us inside a world of ingenious engineering, in which improbable ideas become real: wheelchairs climb stairs, scooters balance on two wheels, polluted water is made clean. He reveals Kamen as few have seen him: in the heat of invention, racing against time, caught between his idealistic beliefs and his obsession to make Ginger a commercial success. He chronicles the wheeling and dealing of high-rolling investors and New Economy kingpins from John Doerr to Steve Jobs. And he delivers vital business lessons about leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, and innovation while recounting a technological adventure that will be studied and argued about for decades.
For anyone who has ever wondered what it was like inside Thomas Edison's lab or the Wright Brothers' garage, here is the twenty-first century equivalent. Step inside Dean Kamen's laboratory and discover the thrills and risks of invention. The Segway's story, like the machine itself, is appreciated best by climbing aboard and taking a ride.
AUTHORBIO: Steve Kemper is a journalist whose work has appeared in Smithsonian, National Geographic, and other magazines. He lives in West Hartford, Connecticut.

Book Critique.......2007-01-04
I picked this book from a list for a book critique for my management principles course. I am really glad I choose this book. The book is very well written. It gives you an almost voyueristic look at the development of the segway and a kind of radical and unheard of management style. The author had an amazing opertunity when he experieenced this and does a great job of relaying it in the book. He even did this with not much bias towards the segway company. The book seems to almost be like a movie playing infront of you. You feel as if you are there with everyone during the development.
How not to conquer the World........2005-11-01
If you are an engineer you will be unhappy with the scattershot presentation of the design & engineering challenges and their resolution. If you are interested in the marketing decisions behind the introduction of the Segway you will find that the planning was amateur and the execution thin. There is little to learn because pre-launch research into the views, beliefs, attitudes and needs of eventual buyers was ruled out due to an hysterical fear of revealing the nature of the product.
Where this book does excel is in giving readers a very real feel for the pace of the development work, the excitement and passion of some very talented engineers and the tensions and frustrations they felt working for a man who can only be described as extra-ordinary. Like many business case studies, this story illustrates what happens when the drive, courage and brains that, under constrained financial conditions and anonymity, delivers wondrous innovation; can, in the end, produce nothing more than the alloted 15 minutes of Fame when the constraints are gone and the dream surrenders to the ego.
Great.......2003-08-13
A unique insight into the development of not only a new product, but a new industry. Whether you like the Segway or not, the book gives you behind the scenes look that most people never get to see, and it's a type of revolutionary technology (maybe not the application) that only comes around every few decades.
Nice read, but lacking in a few ways..........2003-08-12
I don't own a Segway, but I find it (and DEKA) interesting from an engineering perspective. This book is a largely non-technical view into the process of creating it.
Is it a good read? Yes. Would I recommend it to others interested in the topic? Yes. Could it be improved? Yes.
I wish it were more technical, which seems to be a reasonable request since the readership should be largely engineers and business people, not a general audience. It also needed a section of photos and/or diagrams of Ginger as the engineering progressed and to illustrate various features discussed in the book. (For example, the handle is described as W-shaped and then it becomes redesigned as M-shaped, but it wasn't clear if that was from the perspective of the rider or looking at it head-on.)
I also thought that the writing was awkward in places, and found the few transitions from third-person observer to first-person participant to be jarring. I do recognize that the author's presence was key to those few events, but it was jarring to the flow of the page nonetheless.
So, overall, I liked it, but given that it will probably be the only book on the topic, I wish it were better...
Nice Read!.......2003-08-01
Enjoyed the book. Would have liked to have read a bit more about the engineer's and the engineering process, and it would have been nice to have seen some rough sketches of Ginger at different stages. Nonetheless, I think Dr. Kemper did a nice job.
