Dragon Ball Z Vol.8.......2003-06-19

This is a good one! I don't like it as much as some other ones, but it's good! I reccomend buying it. All I can really tell yu without spoiling it is that it's about when they fight the Ginyu force!

A very good manga with a very good story.......2002-11-19

As an avid dragonball manga fan, I can safely say that this is perhaps the best dragonball [z] manga to date. The story, as anyone who read the summary will know, is when Son Goku lands on planet namek (after an intense training session in space), and then proceeds to save his friends and smack around the ginyu force. I won't go into to much detail, but the real prize of this manga is the accuracy of the dialogue. Since many American DBZ fans have only seen the pathetic, butchered, counterpart episodes on TV (Put out by our friends at FUNimation), this shows what Dragonball was intended to be. The language (while far and few between) is maintained, and all the frames are left undoctered (even a four-year old Son Gohan being smacked around by the evil Ricum).

While Dragonball fans will certainly see the beauty of this wonderful manga, non-dragonball fans will appreciate it too, with excellent fight scenes on par with Ryoichi Ikegami's (Crying Freeman, Samurai Crusader) fight scenes[as far as clarity goes].

Any manga fan should buy this. It will not dissapoint.

I am so cool.......2002-06-22

This book was one of the best in the series. It fetures the battle with the goofy but strong ginyu force. If you enjoy the show you will love seeing it in its original Magna(Japanese comic) formate! Also this book is the first in the series to show Goku fight after his 100times Gravity trianing It is a must buy.

Dragon Ball Z Graphic Novel 8.......2002-06-17

The seven wish-granting Dragon Balls are in the hands of evil emperor Freeza! To stop him from becoming immortal, Gohan and Kuririn and their unlikely ally Vegeta must defeat the remaining Ginyu Force, the four greatest fighters in the galaxy. But it doesn't look good. Once again, our outmatched heroes face incredible odds in a fight for dear life and their only hope is hurtling towards them on a spaceship with an interior pressure of 100 Gs! The mysterious and strangely changed Son Goku is on his way.

"Now You Know": Reactions After Seeing Saving Private Ryan
Jesse Kornbluth
Manufacturer: Newmarket Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover
ASIN: 1557043841

Book Description

This inspiring gift "remembrance" book features about 100 selections from the more than 30,000 messages posted on America Online in reaction to seeing Steven Spielberg's powerful film-and gives a new understanding of the men who fought in World War II.

This unique remembrance book, illustrated with historical photographs, is a testament both to the movie that has profoundly affected so many lives, and to the power of the online medium, which allows people instant access to one another. Here are people of various ages, races, religions, and political beliefs who all feel that this timeless movie has generated a sea change in how we think about war, war movies, and the men who fought for freedom. Also included are blank lined pages for readers to enter their own reactions.

Excerpted from a message in the book: "My grandfather, who is a 72-year-old naval veteran of WWII, never really talked about his experience during the war.... Last weekend, we saw 'Saving Private Ryan' together, the whole family. His face wore a look of indifference and doubt. But in the end, he cried. I have never seen my grandfather cry; but on that day he did. We left the movie theater and walked in the rain to our cars and the tears still fell. He had only one comment: 'Now you know how it really was for me...' He has yet to say anything more...."

Customer Reviews:

Very Moving!.......2000-02-27

I teach a film history class and Saving Private Ryan is one of the films we watch and discuss. This collection of letters is very moving. The variety of reactions and emotions is very moving. The letters were impressive and they fit in well while teaching the film. If you teach a film class or plan to use Saving Private Ryan in the classroom I highly recommend this collection to supplement your teaching.

'Now You Do Know'.......1999-11-09

'Now You Know' pretty much sums up the content of this book and the epic motion picture that inspired it. Every page is a human story, a story of everyday people changed by the unspeakable horror of war. One cannot help but be moved by the sheer honesty of the reactions evoked by this film. With the royalties going to the National D-Day Museum let us hope that the messages of this film and book continue to be remembered, for the sake of our future, and for the people who gave their lives for our freedom...

Outstandind Book!.......1999-10-21

(REVEALS INFO!) I thought this book was great but the movie was a lot better in my opinion. Saving Privite Ryan the novel was about a 4 on a 1-5 scale (5 being the best). My favorite character is Reiben because he carries a BeretaAutomaticRifle and he does not die. This book made me appreciate what the men of our country have done and I don't look down upon older people any more;I would like to thank them for it.

For anyone who saw and loved the movie.......1999-08-26

"Now You Know" is a first rate little hard-bound book concerning viewers' reactions to the movie "Saving Private Ryan." It is clearly a labor of love and all profits are being donated to the National D-Day Museum. Anyone who saw the movie and loved it as I did will want this book. The viewers' express their observations with heart-felt emotion and insight. It would be rare to find something like this anywhere else.

Thank You.......1999-07-23

On June 6, 2000, The National D-Day Museum will open its doors in New Orleans, LA. It will be the only Museum in the U.S. dedicated to telling the stories of the amphibious invasions or "D-Days" of World War II. The royalties and earnings frm Now You Know are going to be dedicated to this Museum

The stories told in Now You Know will be mirrored in the Museum. Ordinary People who did the extraordinary. They came not to conquer, but to liberate, not to loot or destroy but to bring life and freedom.

Now You Know has helped me realize the debt that we owe that generation...a debt they never tried to collect. It has also helped me realize the opportunity I lost when my father died. A chance to say thanks.

Thanks.

Book Description

In the final decades of the fifteenth century, the European musical world was shaken to its foundations by the onset of a veritable culture war.

At a time when composers like Obrecht, Isaac, and Josquin were bringing the craft of composition to new heights of artistic excellence, critics began to insist that art polyphony was useless, wasteful, immoral, decadent, and effeminizing. They campaigned aggressively to popularize those criticisms, challenging old certainties about music, and threatening its position in contemporary church and society. Their most effective slogans became critical commonplaces, ideas that left their mark in the writings of figures as diverse as Leonardo, Erasmus, Savonarola, Castiglione, and others.

Yet defenders of polyphony struck back with a vicious counter-offensive, and for several decades music would remain a topic of bitter controversy. When the crisis had finally passed, in the 1530s, nothing would ever be the same again.

The Crisis of Music in Early Modern Europe tells the story of this cultural upheaval, drawing on a wide range of little-known texts and documents, and weaving them together in a narrative that takes the reader on an eventful musical journey through early-modern Europe.

Book Description

The King lies dead after a terrible battle against an ancient and powerful dragon. Now treasure seekers gather across the land to find the lost hoard of the dead dragon. Whoever claims the treasure earns the crown of Cormyr! This treasure hunt is precisely the type of adventure that defines the Dungeons & Dragons(r) experience: heroic adversity against formidable foes with untold wealth awaiting the victors.

What's This?!.......2005-12-14

I must start by telling the truth. I haven't gotten to running this adventure through, and most likely I never will.

I was very excited to get my hands on this firt Realms adventure for the 3rd edition rules and started reading it as soon as I got my hands on it. But to my dismay I found that the text seemed stale and the plot was very linear and overbearing taking away alot from the characters by instead placing too much emphasis on the historical aspect of the adventure.

But perhaps it will be fun to play anyway I thought and proceeded to read it through. But when done I came to the conclusion that parts of the adventure was missing. There was crucial information that wasn't given in the text. Lacking this (and not being able to find a way around it) I have placed to book on the shelf where it will gather dust for ever more.

Changing the Realms! Yea, but wait awhile........2000-10-23

In the wake of the new D&D rules, Wizards has released this(it appears) first supplement that uses the 3rd edition rules for the popular Forgotten Realms world. There are good and bad things; bearing in mind that(to me) the jury is still out as to whether 3rd Edition is wholly successful.

First, the good. The story is an adventure in which the PC heroes will get to revisit a war-ravaged Cormyr in the wake of King Azoun's death. It is a good game line involving loyalty and betrayal, and ceratinly it tries to add to both the Realms gameworld's history and supplement the novel, Death of the Dragon, from which it is based. If you are planning on reading that novel, some spoilers are revealed here! The tale varies from some traditional, Realms fare by providing a distinct,but open storyline to follow. It gives minor side treks to enhance the main story, but also generates numerous foes of various levels to face the heroes. In keeping with Wizards of the Coast "new" approach to Forgotten Realms, Reynolds and Miller have kept more powerful, noted luminaries away(like Alusair, and Vangerdahast) and left the adventurers on their own with a basic mission.

Beyond the developing storyline, they have also managed to do a good job of forming the adventure to the new rules and concepts. For hardline gamers, some of these rules will seem unconventional with the game world, but a little speculation and thought will make them clear. Most importantly, the module tries to emphasize the action over the rules. This is valuable, given that there won't be an official Realms book translating and customizing the 3rd Edition rules until next year! It should have made it possible for old and new players to join in the game as it is set.

Now the bad. In spite of the fine 3rd Edition design, there is some perception here that this was reconfigured mid-stream from the older rules. The rules' framework seem skeletal, at times, on what to do, plus there is very little supplemental material to help in the transition to a 3rd Edition Realms game. Case in point, the priest conversion for Torilian gods are limited to 7 of them! This isn't very much given that in previous Realms material(Faiths & Avatars, etc.)there are probably around 50 unique beings characters can choose from. This wouldn't be so bad if, like other new 3rd Edition modules, this was a 1st or 2nd level adventure to get you used to the system. But this is intended for 10th Level players!

If you are new player, this makes it daunting to try an play advanced character in a new system without all the details or experience. If you are an older player, this means placing your current, likely 2nd Edition, characters through a conversion to the new rules, but lacking all the materials to make them Realmsian players. Clearly, more information would have been helpful to supplment. The assurance that you can make your own designs until the new Forgotten Realms release, and then "tinker" to match these impending new rules isn't comforting if you play with the your "home-made" changes for nearly year and then discover you are all wrong! However, I also realize that it would have bulked up the module beyond its design(plus been costly)!

Besides this awareness, I mention two other things. First is that some your opponents are rather daunting for this offering(given that the idea is to make it 4 10th level characters), especially Mahrlee's Raiders and their Blue Dragon ally! Second, the goblin city of Grodd is a great idea and is well developed, but given the implied urgency(to beat rival foes to the hoard) at this point in the adventure, I was surprised that it is left so open-ended for exploration. Ideas are given on how the characters could explore the city, but it stated that no guidance should be given to keep the characters moving along. Neither of these things are serious flaws, but they do generate some frustration if your are trying to maintain a consistent story.

So to wrap up: A great story and unique characters in the style Forgotten Realms fans will enjoy, but it lacks some foundations in terms of coping with 3rd Edition rules and higher level play. In a way, maybe Wizards of the Coast should have made it the "last" 2nd Edition module and waited to start the Realms anew next year. Long-time Forgotten Realms fans and gamers can probably adjust to their style of play, but newer fans or those committed to using pure 3rd edition rules will have to be flexible and follow your books well. I don't think you can pick it up and go. Maybe wait until next year to order it, when the new Realms sourcebook arrives in town. In the meantime, enjoy the new, Greyhawk-based ones to wet your feet!

Book Description

Ricardo Semler thinks that companies ought to put employee freedom and satisfaction ahead of corporate goals.

Imagine a company where employees set their own hours; where there are no offices, no job titles, no business plans; where employees get to endorse or veto any new venture; where kids are encouraged to run the halls; and where the CEO lets other people make nearly all the decisions. This company—Semco—actually exists, and despite a seeming recipe for chaos, its revenues have grown from $35 million to $160 million in the last six years. It has virtually no staff turnover, and there are no signs that its growth will stop any time soon.

How did Semco become wildly successful despite breaking many of the commonly accepted laws of business? In The Seven-Day Weekend, Ricardo Semler shows that for those willing to take a chance, there is a better way to run a workplace. He explains how the technology that was supposed to make life easier—laptops, cell phones, e-mail, pagers—has in fact stolen free time and destroyed the traditional nine-to-five workday. But this can be a good thing—if you have the freedom to get your job done on your own terms and to blend your work life and personal life with enthusiasm and creative energy. Smart bosses will eventually realize that you might be most productive if you work on Sunday afternoon, play golf on Monday morning, go to a movie on Tuesday afternoon, and watch your child play soccer on Thursday.

This is a radical book that will challenge the business world to make the seven-day weekend a reality.

A workplace for the 21st century... for real!.......2007-08-31

Ricardo Semler became quite popular more then twenty years ago when he tragically and unexpectedly inherited Semco, the family company located in Brazil (originally operating in the naval technology field) from his father. Young and inexperienced he ended up making many mistakes until he realized that the entire traditional `military, command and control' way to manage a company had to be totally and radically changed. He implemented the changes swiftly and Semco has been a successful, unusual, `radical' company since then.
This is Semler's second book, filled with ideas, practices and tools to implement meaningful changes within organizations; changes aiming to reorganize companies both physically and culturally "by constantly questioning the way that we do things". What are these changes all about? Here is a quote that sets to tone of Semler's ideas that have become common practice at Semco (a company with over 200 million dollars in revenues and with a double digit growth during the last 10 years): "Semco has no official structure. It has no organizational chart. There is no business plan or company strategy, no two-year of five-year plan, no goal or mission statement, no long term budget. The company often does not have a fixed CEO. There are no vice presidents or chief officers for information technology or operations. There are no standards nor practices. There's no human resources department. There are no career plans, no job descriptions or employee contracts. No one approves reports or expense accounts. Supervision or monitoring of workers is rare indeed. Most important, success is not measured only in profit and growth."
How can a company be run this way and endure, actually achieving growth and profits within today's extremely competitive market's dynamics? The book articulates ideas and practices that make all of this possible; ideas and practices that spring, according to me, from two pivotal concepts: Driven by Discovery vs Driven by Control; "Nothing but Intuitive Values in Place!". Let's explore them briefly.

Driven by Discovery vs Driven by Control

The key concept is to create a productive environment in which the people clearly perceive that are treated and brought to act as responsible and well informed adults. People should be brought to act driven by a sense of discovery tied to the self-interest (pay attention, Semler points out that the key is the self-interest, not the organizational one) to discover and express their talents (mostly the hidden ones!). Semler points out the concept: "We can't train people to turn them into what we want. Mostly, we want nothing. We don't like training manuals, nor do we ask people where they want to be in five years. We want them to amble and ramble. If they happen to be on a fixed path, we'll gladly help them train for that, but instead of formal training, we encourage people to ask a colleague for explanations, demonstrations, and guidance. Information in any organization should be information on demand". There are no big plans `from the top' that manage strategically and operationally the organization, for this there is no need of control but simply the need of willingness and determination in making sure that a spirit of discovery spreads itself and it is constantly fueled within the company. "Treat them as responsible and well informed adults" is the powerful and controversial principle at the basis of Semco unique reality. A principle that is controversial because goes against many of the practices in place in most organizations. Semler is quite aware of this and traces back the problem to what he considers its root: the need to `de-program' people from the habits created by society and culture, habits that often make of any job a meaningless chore, "Avoid routine and steer clear of habit". At Semco self discovery and expression of the own talents at work is an essential part of working. Semler observes that many people know how to manage well their time and work on many task during their off time during the weekend, then when on Monday show up at work somehow they lose this sense of vitality. The title of the book `The seven-day weekend' becomes the goal: make of the workplace an environment in which people are brought to express their passions, talents and skills just as they do during their weekends! Here are simple roots of discovery vs control!

"Nothing but Intuitive Values in Place!"

Semler defines intuition as "the fuel of choice for rambling through the seven-day weekend" adding "people have to be encouraged to act on instinct , because by-the-book management leaves companies vulnerable, or otherwise its potency as a tool will be lost". Here it is the strong connection between today's challenging market, societal and economic dynamics and the `discovery vs control' mindset. This is why Semler asserts openly that "Semco's most precious asset is the wisdom of its workforce, and our success grows out of our employees' success". It is important to point out that this not a rhetorical statement empty of its meaning in the day to day work within the company. The ideas and practices of the book are bound to shock many of us and fully demonstrate what it means to truly believe in empowering people and having owners and top managers give up control. Many managers and entrepreneurs from all over the world go to visit Semco trying to understand what the company is all about. They understand the concepts and practices quite well, yet few of them have the courage and the vision to actually implement them! When you make of intuition a key driving force at any level or your organization you truly make every single person to lever its decision making and work upon experience and knowledge. This process truly depends upon the development and utilization of people's passions and talents driven by their own interest, the interest of the company comes second and it is a by product of the first. As Semler says this practice "is messy, inefficient, and hugely rewarding". The `Semco approach' cannot be implemented to bits and pieces, it is fully integrated with several key aspects, for example: the way that retributions are set (by the people!); time is managed (at Semco it is possible to `retire' at 40 and go back to work at 60!); trust is nurtured on a daily basis in so many ways that are a joy to read about! All of this based upon the "treat them as responsible and well informed" adults concept.

When I learned about Semler (about 10 years ago) I was really intrigued by what they were able to do at Semco. I admired those practices and ideas and I enjoyed the spontaneous, open, straightforward, trial-and-error way they came about. I also though that Semco was some sort of `world apart' and I felt that their practices were way too radical to become some sort of `model' for other companies. Nowadays I believe that market, economic and societal trends are leading all of us to pay closer attention to the `quirky ways' of that Brazilian company. May be this is why Ricardo Semler himself is at present a visiting scholar at Harvard... The key starting challenge (and too often the `show stopper') is to have business owners and top managers understand and apply on a daily basis the `discovery vs control' principle. Who is willing to take on the challenge? We are ready to help! Focusing on the relevance of INTUITION in today's organizations would be already a good start...

The Seven-day Weekend.......2007-08-07

This book may be an eye-opener for someone who has been living under a rock, but my guess is that for most people who actually read this book all the talk about loosening control and trusting people will be preaching to the converted. My main interest was to learn about how to make such a setup work. But following the tradition of management literature, the advice is offered through stories and anecdotes. While this makes the book very readable, it does leave some gaps... So until an anthropologist manages to infiltrate the company and produce something more systematic and objective, I guess we'll either have to make do with this book -- or apply for a job at Semco to see for ourselves :-)

A New Way to Work that Works.......2007-03-16

Semco, Ricardo Semler's privately held Brazilian company is hard to describe, mostly because it looks and acts so different from what we expect a company to be. That's why Semler devotes the first chapter of Seven Day Weekend to telling us what Semco is and does and what makes it a different place to work. At the end of the chapter, he says this:

"Although I still can't definitely answer the question about what Semco does do, I can say we've changed the way work works and improved the quality of our lives - and so can you."

After reading Seven Day Weekend, I still can't tell you exactly what it's about. But I can say that it will change the way you think about work and open up new possibilities for you.

There's a lot of talk these days about changing the workplace and making it more democratic and self-organizing and participative. We've seen pieces of this at places like WL Gore and, more recently at Best Buy. We've read the business press articles and pundit opinions.

But the fact is that if we are going to see significant workplace change on a large scale, there will need to be more companies that act like Semco. The owners of those companies will have to try things out and show us. That's what Ricardo Semler has done.

If you want to see how the wisdom of crowds works out in a company, it's in here. If you want to see how democratic principles work out in management, that's here, too. And if you want to see things about self-organizing and self-managing work groups and chaos theory, that's here too.

But Seven Day Weekend is not a how-to manual. You won't come out of it with a bunch of checklists or bulleted lists of sure-fire techniques. You will improve your understanding of a few key points
* People can be trusted to make decisions that are not only in their best interests, but in the company's best interest.
* In most cases, following the natural law of things works at least as well and often better than trying to control and direct.
* Strategy Semco-style is about building on talents and following ideas and not about master plans.

You will want to know if Semco has been successful in a traditional business way. It has been extravagantly successful, growing revenue and profits at 40 percent per year for two decades. Not only that, the company survived the convulsions in the Brazilian economy in the 1980s and 1990s.

And you'll want to ask Ricardo Semler about how he works as CEO and how he controls things. Here's his answer.

"I don't. I let the system work for itself."

The bottom line is that you should read this book because it will give you a window into a very different way of working and organizing a business. It's a system that's uncommon as well as uncommonly successful. And it's a system we can learn from.

Good ideas, not applicable to everyone.......2007-02-18

This book has some revolutionary and great ideas. It is inspiring, but not necessarily applicable to everyone. I recommend the book for someone who is looking for fresh and new approaches to management. However, if you are looking for immediate solutions, this may not be what you are looking for. I will re-read this book for sure though.

The Pursuit of Happiness .......2006-12-25

I read both of Ricardo Semler's books, Maverick! and Seven Day Weekend prior to watching the film about Enron. As a 22 year old dreamer, idealist, pragmatist, and economics student, I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to see the opposite ends of the capitalist spectrum. There's so much knowledge to be learned from the two companies, Enron and Semco. Semco is everything Enron wasn't and is making profit while empowering its employees like no other company on the planet. Business does not have to be analogous to war. Enron's motto was `ask why' and nobody ever did, Ricardo Semler's motto is `ask why' and he hasn't stopped asking. Ricardo Semler will be regarded as the most influential CEO of the 21st century, mark my words.
