Quality Delivered
This book arrived in the time frame promised and was in excellent condition.I will continue to buy my books from Amazon based on their products and service.

Fascinating!
This is one of the best books I have read on leadership. It's insightful, deep, surprising, and very readable. We finally understand why leaders act the way they do, why they succumb to the "greed is good" mantra, why they derail. If you have ever wondered what is behind those stories of leaders gone overboard we are hearing so much about lately, read this book. It was a real eye-opener for me, and I enjoyed every page of it. It has the advantage of being an easy read, while it really provides a lot of understanding about how leaders behave when the curtain is closed. I very much recommend this book to everyone interested in the realities of leadership.

A great book from one of the foremost leadership specialists
Manfred Kets de Vries is one of today's foremost specialists on leadership. In this book, which contains some fascinating case studies, Kets de Vries offers unique insight into the functioning of business leaders and how they wield their power. He approaches leadership from an unusual angle, very different from what we are used to from glossy business magzines that glorify leaders. Leaders, Fools, Impostors is the perfect book to read for those who want to understand the real reasons for the rise and recent fall of corporate America's most powerful bosses. An excellent book! ... Read more

Horrifying
This kind of "realisitc" advice for the workplace has not been assembled in one location before-- because few thoughtful people wanted to wallow in the psychic cesspool of the corporate workplace.This book is filled with information on what to avoid-- if you expect to keep your sanity and stay human. Trenchant and true.
Viscusi knows the way of the workplace, and his advice is always insightful and to the point. There are great strategies here for how to think about your work life (and he convinces it is a work life, separate from your other life), so that you're sane both on and off the job, and so that you're positioned to make the most of job/career every day. A must-have for anyone starting a new job, whether entering work for the first time or re-entering after change of career or time off.

For every graduate -and then some
The best career coach $... can buy. A great read w/captivating side bars. Never got boring.I'm buying them for everyone who is graduating from college, and graduate school. As important as "What Color Is My Parachute" was at its time. ... Read more

THE MILITARY FAMILY considers spouses, single parents, and dual-military marriages as chapters focus on research relating to typical conflicts. MILITARY CULTURE is a broad-ranging examination which surveys everything from the changing role of women in the military to issues of courage, quality of life among personnel, life under wartime conditions, and more. Each volume provides a scholarly analysis backed by research and reference notes, includes extensive quotes from journalist and research source materials, and analyze rationales, assumptions, and changing experience. An essential set for any serious military collection.
