                    Lance Secretan is not your conventional business consultant. A member of MENSA, he built a $100 million company from scratch by age 40 and then retired to work with other executives worldwide, conduct seminars, and write books about the route he believes will lead to real success. Reclaiming Higher Ground: Creating Organizations That Inspire the Soul--which pictures Secretan on the cover smiling broadly in dark suit, dark turtleneck, shaved head, and bare feet--is his manifesto for those seeking an alternative to the traditional corporate way of life. Secretan's ideas, combined with supportive examples from today's business world, are truly thought provoking.

                    Book Description

                    Dr. Lance Secretan has a radical idea: that people are yearning for spirit and values at work and that the principal role of leaders is to build great organizations by meeting that need. In Reclaiming Higher Ground he describes a model used by visionary leaders who are creating the inspired organization of the future.

                    5 out of 5 stars reclaiming spirituality in business for the 90's.......1998-09-01

                    Lance Secretan hits home with a well-timed and easily understood description of the lack of morality and spirituality present in business today. He also does an excellent job of showing us what is working in business today, and although rare, examples of daring business leaders that have envisioned a business capable of operating on higher ground, and capturing the elusive human spirit as a core competency in a world too frequently dominated by technology, and lawyers. Lance shows us ways to reclaim our own personal spirituality, and how to transmit it throughout our organizations to recapture fun, passion, excitement and creativity. A quick read, but with a message that will be touted more and more as the average Joe searches for meaning in his life and his work.

                      Book Description

                      One response to the current crisis in medicine--indicated by large variations in practice and skyrocketing costs--has been a call for the rationalizing of medical practice through decision-support techniques. These tools, which include protocols, decision analysis, and expert systems, have generated much debate. Advocates argue that the tools will make medical practice more rational, uniform, and efficient: that they will transform the "art" of medical work into a "science." Critics within medicine, as well as those in philosophy and science studies, question the feasibility and desirability of the tools. They argue that formal tools cannot and should not supplant humans in most real-life tasks.

                      Marc Berg takes the issues raised by advocates and critics as points of departure for investigation, rather than as positions to choose from. Drawing on insights and methodologies from science and technology studies, he attempts to understand what "rationalizing medical practices" means: what these tools do and how they work in concrete medical practices. Rather than take a stand for or against decision-support techniques, he shows how medical practices are transformed through these tools; this helps the reader to see what is gained and what is lost.

                      The book investigates how new discourses on medical work and its problems are linked to the development of these tools, and it studies the construction of several individual technologies. It looks at what medical work consists of and how these new technologies figure in and transform the work. Although the book focuses on decision-support techniques in the field of medicine, the issues raised are relevant wherever rationalizing techniques are being debated or constructed. Touching upon broader issues of standardization, universality, localization, and the politics of technology, the book addresses core problems in medical sociology, technology studies, and tool design.

                      5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......1998-06-16

                      This was a book waiting to be written. Marc Berg discusses the turn to rationalization in medicine with exciting case-studies. The theoretical arguments are subtle and require a close reading but highly influential. Part of the intellectual off-spring of Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway. I use this book in my medical sociology and technology course.

                      2 out of 5 stars Must be read with a shovel........1998-06-09

                      I'm no slouch, but this book is really tough to get through. The author makes a difficult subject even more so with his overly erudite writing style, long sentences, and obscure references. A good editor might have helped a lot.

                      5 out of 5 stars JAMA Reviewed this book.......1998-02-11

                      FYI, JAMA reviewed this book (The Journal of the American Medical Association , Volume: 278 , Number: 11 , Page: 950(1) Sep 17, 1997). The bottom line of the review seems to be that the book is very dense (takes time and thought to read it) but worth the time and trouble. I'm going to buy a copy and will comment after I read it myself.

                        Book Description

                        Only a book this big could convey the majesty of the ever-expanding universe and provide a glimpse into the ultimate limits of space. Originally published in French in 1997 and updated to include recent developments, this volume takes readers on a unique, scenic exploration of the universe. More than 200 incredible, full-color photographs gathered from the Hubble Space Telescope and the largest telescopes in the world capture the magic and wonder found in the vast expanse of the universe. In a beautiful, large format, containing many full-page color spreads, Majestic Universe allows readers to witness the birth of stars; scan the sky for extrasolar planets; venture near black holes; travel into the realm of galaxies and clusters of galaxies; gauge the vastness of space with Hipparcos; and finally wonder about the history and future of our mysterious universe. Clear, enthusiastic captions accompany each image, providing details on the great theories of the structure of the cosmos; descriptions of the latest advances in cosmology; and a trip into the past in search of the origins of the universe, of space, and of time. Majestice Universe is the ultimate "vehicle" for armchair space buffs to explore the final frontier. Serge Brunier is chief editor of the journal Ciel et Espace, a photo-journalist, and the author of many nonfiction books aimed at both specialists and the general public.

                        5 out of 5 stars More than Visually Stunning!.......2006-08-18

                        This book can be thoroughly enjoyed by anyone, of any age. The photographs are awe inspiring, and frankly, they,alone, would be reason enough to own this book. Majestic Universe doesn't stop there however, it is filled with information. I have had the book for a few years now and have probably sat down with it over a hundred times and not once have I thought, "Welp, I'm done with this book. Time to sell it on Amazon." I'm going to keep this one.

                        5 out of 5 stars ABC's of the universe.......2005-04-17

                        The book is accessible to a novice but still presents some difficult concepts in easy to understand manner. Serge strikes a great balance in this regard ! The explanation of "Big bang" theory and the practical observations that back-up the theory is great ! The language is poetic sometimes, to keep the reading interesting and not being too dry. All in all, a good "introduction" book on Sun,stars,galaxies,clusters,big bang, and more .. There are lot of clear, full-page pictures and are well captioned.

                        4 out of 5 stars Beautifully done synopsis for both newbie and pro.......2000-06-13

                        This book is a beautiful rendition of the myriad wonders of our universe; replete with beautiful full color photos of various subjects discussed: the birth of stars from nebulae; the discussion of the possibility/probability/proof of extrasolar planetary systems, the discussions on what happens near black holes, and the history and future of what potential space exploration might bring, as well as what we might hope to discover in the future with current astronomical projects using such tools as the Hubble Space Telescope and the space station Freedom project. Chock full of goodness on the pictorial side, the book also explains concepts and introduces discussions in a manner both easy to understand for neophyte and pleasing to seasoned professional. A beautiful book and highly recommended for both ends of the experience spectrum with astronomy. Nice coffee table book that would be sure to generate discussion. :)

                            5 out of 5 stars El libro mas importante de las obras de Paz.......2006-07-25

                            Paz, el ganador del Premio Nobel de 1990, escribo tantos libros destacados-Sor Juana, El arco y la lira, pero este representa el cumbre de su poder artistico. El escribe sobre el hombre mexicano en todas sus formas y tribulaciones. El libro es, al mismo tiempo, un ensayo(o mejor, un libro de ensayos), un analisis, una historia, y, sobre todo, una pregunta-en que consiste este hombre cuyo origen forma parte de la conquista de America, un proceso ya en proceso.

                            Empieza la obra discutiendo "el pachuco"-una figura del medio siglo XX que representaba la ambiguedad y la frenesi del hispano en los estados unidos durante ese periodo. Despues de esta discusion, continua explicando la cultura hispana desde la epoca precolumbina hasta la revolucion mexicana. Termina la historia con este evento, y la unica cosa que le hace falta a la obra es un analisis de la historia contemporanea.

                            Este seria el primer libro que le recomienda sobre Mexico al nuevo estudiante.

                            5 out of 5 stars Un libro extraordinario.......2004-09-13

                            Octavio Paz, el escritor que haya definido nuestra vida como "olvidado asombro de estar vivos", nos habla de sus ensayos escritos más que hace cincuenta años. Su "La Dialéctica de la Soledad", uno de sus ensayos más destacados, presente sus puntos de vista sobre la soledad no solamente mexicana, sino también la de hombre presente mismo. Paz trata varios temas ensayísticos con la cristalina claridad y persigue un proyecto casi filosófico: muestra la alma mexicana con sus raíces aztecas, su plaza en la vida antigua y contemporánea y, finalmente, su visión de "soñar con los ojos cerrados". Justamente por este ensayo mismo atrevo a recomendar todo el libro tratando de la soledad, cuya presencia en nuestra vida diaria es tan obvia. Además, un interesado en la obra de Octavio Paz debería leer su discurso que había pronunciado en el año 1990 con el motivo de agradecer el galardonar de Premio Nobel. Leyendo Paz, uno descubre que Paz ya contestó muchas de nuestras cuestiónes inquietantes ...

                            5 out of 5 stars Hommage to a great Man of Letters.......2004-05-13

                            Octavio Paz wrote the definitive sociological book that deciphered the Mexican character. He correctly diagnosed that, in fact, the Mexican was stuck in a labyrinth and condemned to find a way out, and in many respects is still trying to find that way out. He understood that he would receive harsh criticism and he did. However, he stayed true to his calling as a man of letters and delivered a book that must indeed be read by anyone wanting to understand the make-up of the Mexican or the serious scholar searching for understanding in the field of Mexican history. I strongly and without reservation recommend this book, it will change your outlook on this important country and most importantly on the inhabitants and descendants of it forever.

                            5 out of 5 stars Una Obra de Arte.......2002-10-19

                            Aunque no estes de acuerdo con todas las ideas de Octavio Paz, las reflexiones y los analisis de esta mente birllante ayudan a entender nuestra magnifica raza. La escritura lleva al lector al pasado y al presente, para poder entender la condicion de Mexico y su gente. Todos los Mexicanos deberian de sentarse a devorar este libro que clarificara las costumbres de nuestra gente y nos ayuda a entender que tiene que cambiar en nuestra politica para tener un pais mas prospero.

                                                New 4th Edition! Featuring indispensable new coverage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, Bankruptcy Deskbook examines the burdens and benefits of the new law as they pertain to both consumer and business debtors in Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13, and offers new forms that must accompany petitions. This new edition discusses the Act's controversial two-part means test, including how the standard is applied and who is likely to be disqualified from exploiting the more forgiving provisions of Chapter 7 and required to set up Chapter 13 repayment plans -- new debtor education requirements, including mandated credit counseling and debt management classes -- the court's greater power to dismiss bankruptcy cases outright, convert Chapter 7 cases to Chapter 13 cases, and impose attorney sanctions -- new constraints on corporations during the bankruptcy process -- new debt recovery tools for lenders and businesses -- and many other key provisions of this sweeping new law.
