The Man who Bought General Motors.......2001-11-06
When we hear about the Du Pont Company with think of synthetics and even nylon, but few realize that the Du Pont Company was founded as a maker of explosives - - black powder to be exact and that this firm was founded in 1802.
On it's 100th anniversary, the firm was about to go under as its family-owners due to age, illness, or other factors could not find a successor following the death of Du Pont's president and patriarch. Some of the Du Ponts who were involved in the day to day affairs were too old to run the firm and wanted to sell out. But the youngest of them, Alfred, was in his early thirties and he would not hear of his birthright being sold out from under him. In one of the first modern large scale leveraged buyouts, Alfred and his two other young cousins, Coleman du Pont and Pierre du Pont, bought the firm from the family for the stupendous sum, in 1902 dollars, for $12 million.
And now the story gets interesting!
The three cousins proceed to build the Du Pont company until, some years later as the firm thrived, Coleman decides to step out and in a move on. Coleman's departure (into politics no less) meant Coleman's shares were up for grabs. And in a almost Byzantine set of events, the shares ended up in Pierre's hands. That outcome embittered Alfred until his death and led to a split in the Du Pont family's allegiances with Pierre garnering the lions share of family support.
World War One brought a windfall of profits to Du Pont that had expanded far beyond black powder. Adding smokeless powder and dynamite to its products and selling to the powers fighting the war, Du Pont Company soon was, probably unfairly, dubbed "the merchants of death."
But the real story here is not of Alfred and Pierre, although this story is well known and documented in other interesting books. Nor is it the story of the explosives business in World war One and the eventual break-up of Du Pont. Like Standard Oil, Du Pont was considered to big and powerful and the firm was split into Du Pont, Hercules, and Atlas. But even that story is prelude to the real story and subject of this interesting book. Bill Gates at Microsoft would do well to think through what happened to some of the large firms in at the turn of the century that seemed to control their markets far too tightly.
The key player and genius that Chandler and Salsbury focus on is Pierre Du Pont and how his genius transformed Du Pont from an explosives manufacturing company into one of the most modern industrial giants of the day. Undaunted by the split up of Du Pont, Pierre set sail, so to speak, and acquired Durant's failing automotive manufacturing firm, General Motors.
It was Pierre du Pont who hand picked Alfred P. Sloan to serve as President while Pierre was Chairman of the Board of GM. And although not the only story that Chandler covers, it is interesting to see how tight a reign Pierre held over Sloan and how Pierre incentivized the future GM President and others in Pierre cadre of senior managers.
As one reads about the operating problems facing the current Chairman of Du Pont, Chad Holliday, we see that the issues are in many ways the same ones - - a global economy and getting feed-stocks to keep the firm running in a world where we need three world worth of resources to supply the one world's worth of people on this planet.
Ultimately, there was too much power in the Du Pont Company as Du Pont acquired Fisher Body from the Fisher brothers, and Delco, and put its hooks into the tire business. We watch the vertical integration of not only GM, but Du Pont and its interlocking directorates.
This book is a "good read" for people who enjoy business history and the behind the scenes pulling of strings by the captains of industry when they were called "robber barons" among those writing yellow journalism.
Yet for its faults, Du Pont was and continues to be perhaps the greatest industrial firm of all time and its staying power of two centuries is no accident.
Chandler and Salsbury weave together hard facts along with an interesting narrative to give a vivid picture of business in an age of new strategies and modern structures that have stood even into the so-called information age and virtual corporation. For those who do not wish to wade through the hundreds of pages of "Pierre S. Du Pont and the Making of the Modern Corporation," I highly recommend the broader and less intense, although equally fascinating "Strategy and Structure," also by Alfred D. Chandler. Much of the material in "Strategy & Structure" can be found in "Pierre S. Du Pont and the Making of the Modern Corporation," along with the stories of GM, Standard Oil and Sears and the coming of vertical integration to those industries. If that book does not sate the appetite, by all means read "Pierre S. Du Pont and the Making of the Modern Corporation."
On a personal note, my first job out of college was at Du Pont and it was the best five years of experience I ever had in industry. It was the very end of the 1960's and the last of the "grand old men" of the Pierre era were leaving the firm, but I caught the tail end of it enough to see what Chandler and Salsbury write and they captured it, but good!
Again, if you like business history, Harvard Business School case method style, I recommend this book without hesitation.
Book Description
Never Turn Back is the gripping and compelling life story of Dr. Walt Blackadar, a physician from a small town in Idaho. At the age of 49, he shocked the outdoor world when he made a solo kayak journey down the treacherous rapids of Turnback Canyon on the remote and wild Alsek River in Canada and Alaska.
Blackadar's accomplishment on Turnback Canyon was the river equivalent of the first ascent of Everest, and when excerpts from his Alsek journal were published in Sports Illustrated, he became an instant sensation. He was at the top of his sport at an age when most athletes are long retired.
Then suddenly, his spectacular rise veered wildly off course when a young woman tragically died on one of his kayaking expeditions. Heartbroken over her death and plagued with mounting physical problems, his kayaking technique began to deteriorate.
Yet he had a spirit that was irrepressible, and pitting himself in a race against his body's clock, he sought out and faced off against the world's most formidable whitewater.
Customer Reviews:
This is a great book.......2001-05-04
In August 1971, after three days of paddling his fragile kayak through a wilderness of bears and glaciers, Walt Blackadar , a doctor from Salmon, Idaho, tackled what is arguably one of the worst stretches of white water in the world- Turnback canyon on the Alsek river. He was forty nine years old and he was alone.
His solo run of Turnback canyon was one of the major breakthroughs in the history of white water kayaking and has been compared to the first ascent of Everest without oxygen. Although techniques and technologies improve, psychological barriers define what is possible. Walt's run of Turnback, no matter how exaggerated it may have been in hindsight, blew those definitions wide open.
In Never Turn back, Ron Watters, himself no slouch when it comes to river running, tells the story of this impressive man. Although born in the eastern united states, Blackadar went west looking for adventure. He didn't take up white water kayaking until he was in his forties. He quickly established a reputation though his pioneering runs on the biggest white water in the states.
The chapters dealing with Blackadar's solo run are the core of this book, an inspiring description of one man pitting himself willfully against the possibility of his own annihilation. Turnback made Walt a celebrity. Seven years later he was dead.
Watters deals honestly with Blackadar; he comes across as a loud, brash boozy man. He also describes Walt's failures and there are some great stories along the way.
Blackadar, like Mike Jones, died in 1978. Unlike Jones, Walt died in what seems a stupid accident on a Saturday morning paddle on a local river. The image of him causally trying to drawstroke his boat from under the log he was pinned against is one of the book's most haunting images.
There are two underlying themes which make this so much more than an accumulation of well told kayaking stories. The first is the tragic story of a man forced to be the impotent witness to his body's slow decay, a man who was terrified by the thought of dying in bed of cancer and old age, who constantly looked for new challenges to prove he was till young and strong. This is the man who constantly claimed that was invincible, that he would never die on a river and that he could, and would, one day paddle over Niagra falls and live to tell the tale.
Walt was also a representative of a certain, almost specifically American hero. He comes across as John Wayne in a kayak. Loud, bursting with energy, he went west to find adventure and the adventures he sought were the traditional test of "man in the wilderness". But there was no longer any social purpose to these adventures and the people of salmon recognised this and protested against their doctor continually risking his life. The days of the great individual , if they ever really existed, were disappearing fast. Salmon was changing from wild west town to settled community. Blackadar's lone yellow kayak in a world of ice grey is a symbol of the final fling of a man unencumbered by corporate sensibility, innocent of economic calculation, impervious to social pressure.
Never Turn Back is meticulously researched and written in a stylish, understated prose that artfully lets the subject tell itself. If you know nothing about Blackadar and have no interest in white water kayaking, this is still a rare book, intelligently and honestly written, an entertaining and thought provoking biography.
Haunting accomplishments.......2000-02-19
My thoughts have often returned to this book even though I read it several months ago. I cannot quite grasp how Blackadar survived the first descent of Turnback Canyon so long ago with the older equipment and kayak, alone. Such strength, courage, and focus is rarely encountered. He belongs to an elite group. He is compared to Hillary but I think he is more aptly compared to Mallory. Watters portrays several sides to this most interesting man. I find myself often thinking about how different he is from me. Yet the exercise of comparison is rewarding.
An exciting and emotional rollercoaster of a book........1997-12-03
This book gave me a different look of a man that I have seen many times. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Although I knew what the outcome was prior to reading it, it still brought tears to my eyes. Well worth reading it.

This book demystifies the place left-handness has held in society, shedding new light on this controversial discussion.
Customer Reviews:
A very well-written book........2006-04-14
For anyone interested in left handedness, Melissa Roth's book is a must-read, very up to date. Roth gets straight to the point without resorting to the sorts of pathos, frequent digressions, tongue-in-cheek humor, or stale, decades-old data present in so many other books about left handedness. If you're considering buying a book about left handedness, "the Left Stuff" should be first on your list.

Customer Reviews:
super duper book.......2005-07-30
this book is amazing it have all the duel masters history in it official duel masters manga and gamers tips so go and buy it.
Turned into loads of family fun.......2004-12-29
I got this book for my nephews along with the DuelMasters card game. They're always playing these types of games and they love the monster characters and such. Well, after much begging, I ended up sitting down and playing my nephews a few "duels" and they handed me my head in short order..... so I read this book myself. Now, whenever we're together, we Duel for real and have tons of fun.
This book was a big help. It's easy to read and has tips and info for everyone from beginner to expert. I'd recommend it for kids and parents and family. You'll really enjoy some serious family fun playing this game and building different kinds of decks and trading characters, especially when you know a little bit about what you're doing.
Nice Book Overall.......2004-11-20
There aren't a whole lot of Duel Masters Book to pick from. Luckily, this one is good.
There's a history & storyline of the manga by Edo, the DM manga guru. To me, this makes the purchase 5 stars in itself.
Then Pojo adds in history of the CCG. Scott Gerhardt reviews all the cards. And there are Killer Decks and other tips.
A great book for beginners, and folks that want to know what's happened in Duel Masters since 1996. Did you know the kids first played Magic: The Gathering? Now you do. ;-)

Excellent reference for all small business owners.......2004-08-17
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is starting or who has a small business. There is a ton of good information and great references given throughout the entire book. I am very impressed with the amount of good information in such a small, compact book.
Great resource guide, filled with useful information........2000-01-13
I just got the book and cannot put it down. Ms. Turner makes a potentially dry subject come to life. I particularly like the sidebar information, good examples to support the overall message.
What a great book!.......2000-01-02
This is one of the best books I've read on this subject. Marcia Layton Turner really knows her stuff. I bought several copies to give to friends who are thinking about starting businesses.

Customer Reviews:
A start-up guide packed full of information for an online-based retail business!.......2006-12-13
This book provides step-by-step guidance in starting an online retail business. There is a ton of information crammed into this book which is divided into six sections and many chapters:
1. In Business, Preparation is Everything
2. Getting Your Business Online
3. An Internet Presence for Existing and New Businesses
4. Promoting Your Site
5. Improving and Analyzing Your Site
6. The Experts Speak
As someone who has read many books on virtual businesses, online presences, Internet marketing, and online retailing I could appreciate all that the author covers in this book. Unfortunately I doubt someone with my background is the intended audience for this book. I think someone with less knowledge on the subject would be the person to want to read this book. And such a person is probably going to be disappointed with it.
I found the book to emphasize online retail businesses to the exclusion of online service businesses. That's fine and dandy if the title of the book had specified that the material related to "Online Retail Businesses." There was a lot of talk devoted to shopping cart aspects of Web sites and to eBay topics. If I wanted to read about eBay, then I would have picked up an eBay book.
My favorite part of the book was where the author at page 96 told me about how to easily add shopping cart functionality to a Web site that I had built using Microsoft Frontpage. Supposedly there is an outfit called Richmedia Tech that provides help in doing that.
The slant on the type of business the author was talking about in his book showed itself particularly in Section 4 regarding how to promote your Web site. There was no mention of writing articles, giving seminars, or becoming a public speaker which are normal ways to promote a Web site that helps market services rather than products.
If you are planning to use eBay in your business in ANY way, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. It is a great supplement to any reading you do on the subject of eBay. However, if your business idea or existing business has no need for an online retail storefront, then skip this book. There are other books available that are more on point for you to read. 4 stars!
This book gave me some new ideas for my On-line business.......2004-01-24
I started my own business and have been selling books online for over 5 years (and doing very well thank you), and I also volunteer in my free time as an outplacement counselor for a local non-profit training facility, so I have had a little bit of experience in business; and I have to tell you after reading the dreadful reviews I picked up a copy of this book just for grins... not! This book has some really good ideas. True there is no magic bullet, but that's just it, this book gives good direction and if you have a half-way decent brain and some ambition you will do the rest. My biggest problem as an outplacment counselor (whose job it is to help people to go out there and look for a job) is motivating them. I give them the direction but they want the easy fix. This book will not give you an easy fix, but if you want some good solid ideas ... read this book.
Complete Waste.......2003-01-13
The only thing to be learned from this book is if you have a catchy title and access to bookshelf space, you can sell anything, even 414 pages of filler.
Among the pearls of wisdom is the advice that you can compare features of different computer brands by shopping at your local computer store. I'm not kidding!
I was so insulted by the banality of this book that I was moved to write this review.
Don't Buy It.......2003-01-10
I bought the book on the strength of the excerpts on the back. It is a waste of paper. The information is shallow an very dated. It does not provide any valuable information, even the rhetoric is thin and pale. The "trends" are old guesses from the DOTCOM era. AND the "money saving techniques" are stale. And I figured this out and I'm just starting a web business. Try TechTV's Starting an Online Business. It's FAR better. Better yet try multiple books and do some deep diving on the web. You know the 3rd 4th and 5th pages when you do a web search. Good Luck.
Read this book.You might be the next successful entrepreneur.......2002-07-23
I have read a few more books on this subject. All of them share many concepts. However each of these books add useful ideas of how to start an online business. I recommend to read not only this one but others like: "Starting an Online Business" by Frank Fiore, "Mompreneurs Online" by Patricia Cobe and "Making Money in Cyberspace" by Paul and Sarah Edwards. Do not stop only on one book, search other sources and you will have a better idea about Online Bunisness. This book have some chapters that will be very basic to some readers but the overall idea of this publication is worth to read it. You will find interviews with succesful e-commerce entrepreneurs. I loved the interviews with Chris Gwynn in Chapter 16 (founder and president of Fridgedoor.com) and Tim Brady and Paul Graham in Chapter 15 (Vice President of Production and Executive Producer of Yahoo Stores). Dont't miss this book! you might be the next successful e-entrepreneur...

Customer Reviews:
Obvious.......2004-04-29
This book could be one of the "Dummies" or "Idiots" books because everything it offers is pretty obvious. This book covers so many topics, it can't go into any depth on any of them. For example, the author says seminars are a great way to get business but he offers only half a page on how to do them. He tells you how to get a trademark without discussing why they may or not be necessary. Also, there are way too many irrelevant stories about millionaires like Michael Dell (who cares how many square feet his mansion is?) and Jeff Bezos. If you already have a business in mind, you have to wade through a lot of chapters about finding the perfect business for you. However, if you haven't a clue about which business to start, the book offers only a surface idea of several home businesses. So it's not useful to either customer.
