            Book Description

            Masterful timepieces, made by the hands of craftsmen in the mountains of Switzerland, are increasingly drawing the attention of collectors and connoisseurs around the world. The timepieces are fascinating not only because they keep precision time with engines built by man, but often because they offer more than time-telling features, such as mechanisms that record the times of athletes in competition, tell the lunar phase, signal the hour with a gong, or tell the time in several places over the world, all smoothly and intricately finished inside small cases that fit on the wrist.

            Stunningly complex, tiny parts, some as thin as a hair, are assembled in designs so artful and beautiful that proud craftsmen leave their work open for display through sapphire glass in what are known as skeleton timepieces.

            This book features full-color photographs of these treasures and traces man's obsession with time to today's present leaders in the watchmaking industry, including Breguet, Breitling, Blancpain, Franck Muller, Patek-Philippe, and Piaget.

            5 out of 5 stars Very desirable book.......1998-10-14

            This book has a brief history of watches and then proceeds to describe most of the great watchmakers history plus some of the most gorgeous illustrations you'll ever see of great watches.

            1 out of 5 stars useless.......1998-08-02

            same as prestigious watches...What's the purpose of this book? who can believe that concord and roberge can decently stand next to Patek... this book is 200 pages of advertising.

            Book Description

            You May Not Tie an Alligator to a Fire Hydrant is a collection of the 101 dumbest real federal, city, and state laws in America, compiled by Jeff Koon and Andy Powell, a couple of high school seniors with a Web site visited by hundreds of thousands of browsers every month. These laws will astonish, possibly outrage, and certainly amuse citizens everywhere.

            Here you will learn that forgetting to close a gate is against the law in Nevada; that flying a kite is illegal in Schaumburg, Illinois; and that shaking carpets in the street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is strictly forbidden. You probably haven't tried cutting off your arm to make people feel sorry for you -- but if you live in Alabama, it is against the law. Many Texans will be surprised to learn that their hoes must be no less than four feet long. Perhaps more disturbingly, Indianans will be forced to recognize that being sexually aroused in public could get them arrested. With so many potential legal pitfalls around us all, it is comforting, finally, to learn in these pages that, in Alaska, the people who make laws have sagely concluded that emergencies are "held to a minimum and are rarely found to exist."

            This hilarious compilation features forty-six original illustrations by award-winning artist Ward Schumaker that brilliantly capture the absurdity of so many of our laws with a light and elegant touch.

            WARNING
            These laws, all verified by the authors and presented along with a reference to the corresponding federal, state, or city statute, may cause readers to lose any desire to pursue a career in law.

            1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2005-03-01

            The authors have found a couple of really dumb laws, but most of the book features unusual scenarios that the authors create that are technically illegal. The title is an example of this. The law actually states that the fire hydrant should not be blocked by anything- so yes, it would be illegal to tie the alligator to the fire hydrant. But is that really a dumb law? Each page features one law and the authors comments. Not much substance to this book.

            1 out of 5 stars A Good Idea That Needs More Work.......2003-09-15

            This is a book by two kids. It started off as a school project. The idea is to list laws that seem very strange, dumb or just plain off-the-wall. It could have been a good book but it needs a little more research.

            Each page has a catchy phrase about some law. The title of the book is one such phrase. There is then some of the text of the law it refers to. Unfortunately, sometimes the blurb is actually the direct opposite of the law given. I found this to be really unforgivable in such a book. Very often I got the idea that the authors just didn't understand the language used in the laws and sometime I felt they never read them in the first place.

            Still, there are some dumb laws that they did get right. But really, there should have been a lot more attention paid before this ever saw print.

            1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time.......2003-07-05

            Sorry guys, but this is the dumbest book I have read in a long time. I bought it thinking it would be good beach reading and, boy, was I wrong. Being eaten by seagulls would have been less painful than enduring this drivel. A little thought into this project would have proved helpful as many of the laws quoted were instituted for very good reasons such as the law regarding ice cubes in El Paso. Do you want to buy ice cubes that were produced across the border with their stellar health regulations. Most books of this type are quite entertaining, but not this one. It's just plain stupid.

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent Advice! Words to live by!.......2003-01-24

            I thought I was doing the nice folks a favor when I tied my dog Snuckles to the fire hydrant while I went into the 7-ll for a slushy and a ding-dong. However to my horror, when I came out of the store I found an alligator swallowing my dog. He then got his head and teeth stuck around the leash. Before I could do anything a police officer came up to me and asked if that was my alligator tied to the fire hydrant. I told him that I had never seen that alligator before in my life. He then asked me if that was my leash and I told him it was. Unfortunately, just then a fire broke out across the street and the fire trucks soon arrived. However, the fireman couldn't get to the fire hydrant as a vicious alligator was guarding it. The whole building burnt down and I was arrested and charged for tying an alligator to a fire hydrant and blocking a fire hydrant that was needed during a fire resulting in thousands of dollars of damage.

            While I was in court, even though I had argued that the alligator was not mine, it was proved by the prosecutors that it was mine since I had confessed to having my leash on it. In the end I was fined $500 dollars and sentenced to 100 hours of community service and forced to read this book.

            Without a doubt, had I read this book before, I would not have had to read it now in humiliation after failing to take Jeff's advice. Had I known I could have lied about the leash being mine. Good advice Jeff but a little too late for me!

            By the way, the alligator and I are now doing fine and I've adopted him as a pet. Poor Snuckles.

            5 out of 5 stars Wow.......2002-07-28

            hilarious... worth buying and reading over and over again. see down for mirinda's review. it sums up my thoughts exactly.

                                    Burt Dragin, a journalism professor and investigative reporter, writes about gambling because it's what he knows best. In this wise, witty, and wonderful book, he traces his own gambling addiction back through past generations and looks at the national passion for games of chance from the early colonial times to today's multibillion-dollar casino boom.

                                    Along the way, he shares not only intimate interviews with recovering problem gamblers, but also his firsthand experiences of winning-streak exhilaration, loser's humiliation, and the inner struggle for freedom of tyrrany of the house edge.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Honest and thought-provoking.......2007-03-30

                                    Six to Five Against is a refreshing, sometimes wincingly honest look at one man's gambling. Drawing chiefly on his own experiences but supported by Dragin's investigations into the thrall that gambling holds for many, this is an open, honest, and readable story that will appeal to anyone who gambles or wants to better understand gamblers.

                                    Dragin opens the book with an interesting thought: he's got a lot in common with Steve Wynn. They were both born in the same year to gambling fathers, and both have had lifelong relationships with gambling, though Dragin admits that the billionaire casino owner has gotten rich from gambling, while he hasn't. Along the way, Dragin luckily transformed his obsession with gambling into an obsession with gamblers and research into gambling, and the result is this memoir/problem gambling overview.

                                    The short book is divided into four parts. The First, My Role Model, hinges on Dragin's father Phil, a lifelong gambler. In the second part, Gambling Demons, the focus shifts to the author's gambling travails. The third part, Profiles, is a series of quick (6 pages or so) sketches of several problem gamblers Dragin interviewed. Part four, The Last Act, is a coda of sorts, describing Phil Dragin's last years and the author's final acceptance of his problem gambling.

                                    Six to Five Against works because Dragin is able to coolly, almost dispassionately analyze himself as well as his subjects. His honesty about his gambling is refreshing, and it puts him in a league with Dostoyevsky as a writer who can bring his own gambling to bear on his writing-in Dostoyevsky's case fiction, in Dragin's memoir/creative non-fiction-and produce something both eye-opening and thought-provoking.

                                    Dragin's father's life parallels that of many men who ended up in Las Vegas one both sides of the table. Growing up in an immigrant, Yiddish and Russian-speaking household in Cleveland, he spurned hard work and sober devotion for the gambling underworld, which included Moe Dalitz's Harvard Club and an entire stratum of pool rooms, racetracks, touts, and bustouts. Calling it Runyonesque is almost an understatement. Indeed, Dragin pays homage to Damon Runyon in the book's opening pages, embracing him as a kindred spirit (his title is taken from a particularly pithy gem from Runyon's "A Nice Price"), and its easy to see how he made a strong emotional connection between his father's war stories of Cleveland's gambling scene and Runyon's memorable characters.

                                    Moving to Los Angeles, Dragin's father enjoys a bit of good luck, followed by years of hard work, frustration, and disappointment, including more than one arrest for gambling. Dragin follows in his father's footsteps, trying to balance the demands of adulthood with an unstoppable need to gamble. In the end, father and son seem to reach a rapprochement with their "gambling demon" that contains, but doesn't entirely banish, it. As a simple family story, Six to Five Against is not only touching, but transforming-the reader is challenged to consider how gambling both tied together and tore apart the Dragins.

                                    As remarkable a document the Dragin story would be as a simple memoir, it's much more. Throughout, Dragin interweaves personal experience, interviews, and historical research quite effectively. As a historian, I've got to concede that the historical background isn't as well-plumbed as it might have been, which in a few cases hinders Dragin. For example, Dragin just repeats the description of the Flamingo as "the first ornate palace" in the Nevada desert, completely ignoring the earlier El Rancho Vegas and Last Frontier. Worse yet, he doesn't even mention Billy Wilkerson, whose story would have lent considerable weight to the narrative. Wilkerson, after all, was the brilliant promoter and compulsive gambler who first conceived of the Flamingo, and whose inabilities to control his gambling (combined with Siegel's predatory avarice) forced him to lose the casino shortly before it opened. There's also a big of editorial sloppiness as Giralomo Cardano's name changes to "Cordano" and back a few times on the same page. But these miscues don't mar what is a powerful and convincing book.

                                    Dragin is unflinchingly honest, talking candidly of his own struggles with gambling while admitting that no one held a gun to his head and forced him to gamble. Not willing to call himself a victim, he still grapples with an obsession so powerful that it must be biological. He includes many details that a less honest and courageous writer might not have-particularly a heart-breaking exchange between him and his father towards the end of the book-and our understanding of gambling is richer for his risk-taking.

                                    2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2006-09-03

                                    As a professional poker player I am interested in hearing other people's insights about their relationship with gambling. Losing has been an invaluable teacher for me not only as a professional that confronts losing all the time but as a human being engaged in seeing myself. Unfortunately, Mr. Dragin hasn't yet done the heavy lifting that losing provides an entree to. He acknowledges that the pain is palpable but he hasn't yet turned to face it and really be with it. He is still engaged with it on a mental level and hasn't used it to really explore the emotional body. Midway through the book he says, "I rarely dealt in introspection." And in the final pages he is knocking on the door that has the treasure on the other side but he doesn't see it. "But for me, losing is a personal affront, a solid blow to my psyche that begs for retaliation." So now the question that blows the door down is, who is this someone that takes losing personally and what is the retaliation defending? But the answer to this question is not to be found in the mind's reaction upon hearing it. (And this is all one can see until one engages with the question in a sincere fashion.) The answer is to be found inside oneself, in a quiet introspective place- a place that the author can't yet tell us about. He tells us about fighting the demons without ever really seeing the demons. Imagine the "Wizard of Oz" with the curtain never being pulled back.

                                    Burt Dragin is a journalism professor and investigative reporter who writes about what he knows best: gambling. His own addition to the game lends a lively and fun tone to a history of gambling, the rise of casinos and big business, and insights from recovering problem gamblers. The fine art of winning, losing, and struggling with too much fun comes alive in SIX TO FIVE AGAINST: A GAMBLER'S ODYSSEY.

                                    5 out of 5 stars The Leader in Corporate Social Performance.......2007-07-17

                                    The book is very pricy compared to Jim Collins books. However, for a college textbook it is an average price.

                                    As for what is inside the book, there is nothing average about it. The first edition of this book was published in in the 1960's by Prof's Keith Davis and Robert Blomstrom. Since then, it has been updated with new data that further proves the benefits of measuring a triple bottom line.

                                    In Part 1, the authors introduce the argument for, and benefits of, Stakeholder Theory.

                                    In Part 2, the doctrine of Corporate Social Responsibility is introduced, and demonstrates examples of how a firm can manage its relations with Stakeholders.

                                    Part 3 is an excellent treatment of business ethics and why it is important to a profitable business model.

                                    Part 4 discusses the effects of globalization, as well as management of government policy and treatment of anti-trust.

                                    Part 5 discusses a company's responsibility to the environment and ecology.

                                    Part 6 discusses the roles, challenges, and opportunities in technology.

                                    Part 7 is the meatiest, and I argue the most valuable, portion of the book. It includes five chapters on building stakeholder relationships, to include the controversies in the Board of Directors and Officer compensation, consumer protection, labor relations, diversity, and media/public relations.

                                    This book is more than just common sense. The organization provides for a great overview of the subject, including some topics you may not have thought of. The case studies are a fantastic way to dig deeper into the material. The strategies and real-world examples will benefit anyone who wishes to introduce more responsibility into their corporation and reap the benefits.

                                    Without this book being required reading in business school, many students may never consider these topics, especially in the framework of Stakeholder Theory. I think the world will be a better place when more students are introduced to this textbook and embrace the ideas therein.

                                    4 out of 5 stars good.......2007-07-08

                                    Excellent condition. Delivery was a little slow. Great service if you are not in a rush to get the book.

                                    2 out of 5 stars All common sense.......2007-02-11

                                    everything in this book is common sense. There is really very little to learn from this, and it is overpriced.
