Customer Reviews:
Before you buy, read what they say about Amazon.com.......2005-01-10
I used the feature of searching and reading to check it out right here, online. I searched for their write-up of amazon.com. And it's there, on page 60.
Read those pages first. If you think the authors give an intelligent and insightful perspective on Amazon's role in the internet bubble, then by all means buy and read the book.
Good look at what went wrong during the Internet bubble.......2002-10-04
Buy, Lie, and Sell High provides an interesting look at the Internet bubble and what caused it.
It was a perfect storm of greedy people with little to no business experience, combined with unethical accounting firms, loose federal regulators, new technologies, and a hungry public looking to make a quick dollar.
While the book has ?Enron? in the title, there is not a whole lot about Enron in the book, perhaps 10 pages.
The book has a number of case studies of classic dot bombs. I am surprised that with all of the case studies, Mills did not discuss one of the biggest bombs, Value America.
Overall, the book provides a good look at what went wrong and how it can be prevented from happening again.

Book Description
The world motor industry faces a series of crises that threaten its existence. The two main threats are chronic lack of profitability and environmental concern, both demanding accelerated change in an ever more tightly regulated market. The Death of Motoring? identifies the industrys concern with technology, particularly body technology, as a major weakness, making the industry dependent on volume demand. This leads to a reassessment of the role of Henry Ford as the father of mass production and the reinstating of E.G. Budd as the true originator of the paradigm of mass production in todays car industry. This analysis is set within the context of the causes and implications of globalisation and of changes in the relationship between car makers and their suppliers. The authors explore the solutions for more sustainable mobility. Using existing ideas about alternatives to the modern car they formulate future scenarios dependant upon technological as well as legislative and social change. They confirm that the industry can survive, but can only do so by shifting towards selling personal mobility instead of just cars.

Book Description
Brownian motion - the incessant motion of small particles suspended in a fluid - is an important topic in statistical physics and physical chemistry. This book studies its origin in molecular scale fluctuations, its description in terms of random process theory and also in terms of statistical mechanics. A number of new applications of these descriptions to physical and chemical processes, as well as statistical mechanical derivations and the mathematical background are discussed in detail. Graduate students, lecturers, and researchers in statistical physics and physical chemistry will find this an interesting and useful reference work.
Book Description
When Victoria Ashe lures an ex-lover to her London hotel room, their passion is reignited with startling intensity. She's out to prove to Ray that intimacy can be just as exciting as the thrill of the chase. Ray Torrington might actually agree if it weren't for Kinky Bai Lon, a Hong Kong bombshell who doles herself out one delicate morsel at a time, always in public.And Penny, a champion poker player known as 'The Flame of London', also has her sights on the saucy jackpot. The scene is set for a high stakes, game of sexual exploration. When the wild card keeps changing it's difficult for even the most accomplished player to know who's bluffing and who is telling the truth. In this lusty tournament of champions, the winner takes all.
Customer Reviews:
The Steamiest.......2006-08-03
Wild Card is certainly the sexiest Black Lace title I've ever read. It is also the best written, from a literary point of view. Madeline Moore has created realistic three-dimensional characters, who just happen to be very attractive, libidinous and kinky - just like us. Even the plot is believable - no secret clubs or schools for the depraved - this is Erotica for real people, about real people.
I'm looking forward to Madeline's next.
Book Description
Although a resume is important, the cover letter is the first impression. This book is a compilation of great cover letters that helped real people get in the door for job interviews against stiff competition. Included are letters that show how to approach employers when you're moving to a new area, how to write a cover when you're changing fields or industries, and how to arouse the employer's interest to dial your number first from a stack of other resumes. This book is part of the Anne McKinney Career Series by PREP Publishing.

Needs a really, really good editor........2005-11-30
Stewart Home, [name censored] (Serpent's Tail, 1997)
I hate to give a bad review to anything by Stewart Home, normally one of my favorite writers, but [name censored] is a bit much even for me. Where there was a feeling of controlled mania to such brilliantly over-the-top novels as Slow Death and Come Before Christ and Murder Love, this one keeps the mania and leaves the uncontrolled.
If you actually make it through the first chapter, you will learn that a fascist rally has been bombed by the fascists themselves, in order to discredit the left. Blame quickly falls on Nick Carter, erstwhile head of the anarchist faction Class Justice, who finds himself dodging both the cops and the fascists. His only choice is to come out of retirement and retake the Class Justice throne, but the present head of the movement, Steve Drummond, isn't too happy with the idea. If you manage to dig a bit further, you'll find that the fascists have ulterior motives for driving Carter back into the limelight, the Industrial League are somehow involved, and that in Home's London, there are far more fringe political parties than one can shake a stick at.
This is ultimately the book's biggest problem; Home doesn't focus on any one party long enough for you to get a feel for them, and so many of them are so similar that even the most astute reader is likely to end up hopelessly confused by page thirty.
There are, at the very least, the seeds of a barmy seventies Italian [censored] comedy here, and with a little more control and a cast of political factions smaller than that in Silent Coup, I have no doubt Home would have been able to pull it off. Unfortunately, however, this needed a couple more revisions before going to press. (zero)
sperm & blood.......2005-11-29
This book is about a lot of gang fights with blood and a lot of good f***ing between men and women, men and men and so on... The whole story is based on different street politic movenents that struggle for power. The movements themselves are very absurd, like ultimate feminist organization lead by a man. :) There are a lot of ironic and funny moments, but as a whole from a moment on the plot seems to get boring for me. However occasional good moments are present to the very end, like one very crazy lunatic LSD trip being described. If you like very vulgar language and brutal stories, not brigning some directly serious message - this one's for you. There some politic stuff there too.
stewart home is god!.......2000-07-12
The common stewart home stuff; sex,violence,more sex more violence. Very similar to his other early fiction. If you liked Red London and Pure Mania then Blow Job will not dissapoint.

The History of Sexuality: An Introduction
ASIN: 1566399718 |
Book Description
In this ground-breaking and provocative book, Roy Grundmann contends that Andy Warhol's notorious 1964 underground film, Blow Job, serves as rich allegory as well as suggestive metaphor for post-war American society's relation to homosexuality. Arguing that Blow Job epitomizes the highly complex position of gay invisibility and visibility, Grundmann uses the film to explore the mechanisms that constructed pre-Stonewall white gay male identity in popular culture, high art, science, and ethnography.
Grundmann draws on discourses of art history, film theory, queer studies, and cultural studies to situate Warhol's work at the nexus of Pop art, portrait painting, avant-garde film, and mainstream cinema. His close textual analysis of the film probes into its ambiguities and the ways in which viewers respond to what is and what is not on screen. Presenting rarely reproduced Warhol art and previously unpublished Ed Wallowitch photographs along with now iconic publicity shots of James Dean, Grundmann establishes Blow Job as a consummate example of Warhol's highly insightful engagement with a broad range of representational codes of gender and sexuality.
