Excellent look into front line Vietnam

I thought this book was the best book on Vietnam that I have ever read. Its a facinating look into life as a line officer in a front line Marine Infantry batallion during the early part of the war. Caputo holds nothing back when it comes to describing life on the front line and what goes through the minds of these young, too young Marines who fought on the front line. An excellent read and I highly reccomend it.06062220655002008-06-03

Well written and engrossing

Its a page turner from start to finish. A very unique view of the war.06062220651342008-05-31

Caputo wasn't much of a marine

Caputo wasn't much of a marine. He started complaining about Vietnam before he arrived. Every page is filled with criticism, cynicism, griping, complaining, and self-serving tripe. He wanted to be a hero, but he didn't have what it took to be anything but a whining wimp. Certainly he writes well. But writing well and living well are entirely different. He doesn't understand honor or duty. Sure the war was politicized, but so is every war. Sure the rules of engagement were stupid, but a soldier serves. Caputo did not serve; rather he whined. Many of us who served in Vietnam believed there were many things that made no sense. But we didn't turn tail and run. We served. For those who want to understand what is was like to be a soldier in Vietnam, read "We Were Soldiers Once... and Young" or "Steel My Soldiers' Hearts". If you want to know what is was like to be useless in Vietnam, read this book.06062220654002008-05-29

Real life account

I assigned this book to my college students for a closer glimpse of the Vietnam Conflict. I had not read it before, but had done research and study on the subject. I found Caputo's book to be insightful, controversial and thought provoking. He doesn't glamorize the war but explains how it effected soldiers and one of the many reasons it was such a mess. Throughout the book, Caputo shows how the conditions changed the average American teenager into a robotic killer and how their experiences stayed with them. In the end, he speaks against the war, but not in the normal Jane Fonda version of bashing the military and labeling them rapists and baby killer. Caputo talks about how the government was at fault and created the situations that lead to PTSD and other issues for returning soldiers. <br /> <br />A must read to understand the war and its effects on our soldiers. 06062220655002008-05-25

Remebering Vietnam - A Review of "A Rumor of War"

In keeping with the theme of this Memorial Day weekend, I would like to offer my thoughts on "A Rumor of War," a classic tale of Vietnam. Philip Caputo has crafted one of the most moving and disturbing testaments to the men who fought and died in that far away land. When the book was first published in 1977, the New York Times called it "The troubled conscience of America speaking passionately, truthfully, finally." I became aware of this classic memoir when my friend, Capt. Kyle Kalkwarf, West Point Class of 2002, told me that it was one of the best books about war he had ever read. He recommended that I add it to my reading list. He was right in doing so. <br /> <br />Caputo's recollections of his time as a Marine in Vietnam are filled with anger and sorrow at the misbegotten policies promulgated in Washington and carried out with disastrous results by General Westmorland and his subordinates. The author makes it clear in his introductory remarks how he felt and feels about that war and the impact that it had upon him and his comrades in arms: <br /> <br />"Beyond adding a few more corpses to the weekly body count, none of these encounters achieved anything; none will ever appear in military histories or be studied by cadets at West Point. Still, they changed us and taught us, the men who fought in them; in those obscure skirmishes we learned the old lessons about fear, cowardice, courage, suffering, cruelty and comradeship. Most of all, we learned about death at an age when it is common to think of oneself as immortal. Everyone loses that illusion eventually, but in civilian life it is lost in installments over the years. We lost it all at once, and in the span of months, passed from boyhood through manhood to a premature middle age. The knowledge of death, of the implacable limits placed on a man's existence, severed us from our youth as irrevocably as a surgeon's scissors had once severed us from the womb. And yet, few of us were past twenty-five. We left Vietnam peculiar creatures, with young shoulders that bore rather old heads. . . <br /> <br />This book is partly an attempt to capture something of its [the war's] ambivalent realities. Anyone who fought in Vietnam, if he is honest about himself, will have to admit he enjoyed the compelling attractiveness of combat. It was a peculiar enjoyment because it was mixed with a commensurate pain. Under fire, a man's powers of life heightened in proportion to the proximity of death, so that he felt an elation as extreme as his dread. His senses quickened, and he attained an acuity of consciousness at once pleasurable and excruciating. It was something like the elevated state of awareness induced by drugs. And it could be just as addictive, for it made whatever else life offered in the way of delights or torments see pedestrian." (Pages xv-xvii) <br /> <br />Caputo's last comments in the section just quoted seem to be eerily in keeping with the themes of the stunning films, "The Deer Hunter" and "Apocalypse Now." <br /> <br />In one of the most gripping passages in the book, Caputo recaptures the spectrum of emotions he felt during a helicopter assault - running the gamut from fear to courage: <br /> <br />"A helicopter assault on a hot landing zone creates emotional pressures far more intense than a conventional ground assault. It is the enclosed space, the noise, the speed, and, above all, the sense of total helplessness. There is a certain excitement to it the first time, but after that it is one of the more unpleasant experiences offered by modern war. On the ground, an infantryman has some control over his destiny, or at least the illusion of it. In a helicopter under fire, he hasn't even the illusion. Confronted by the indifferent forces of gravity, ballistics and machinery, he is himself pulled in several directions at once by a range of extreme, conflicting emotions. Claustrophobia plagues him in the small space: the sense of being trapped and powerless in a machine in unbearable, and yet he has to bear it. Bearing it, he begins to feel a blind fury toward the forces that made him powerless, but has to control his fury until he is out of the helicopter and on the ground again. He yearns to be on the ground, but the desire is countered by the danger he knows is there. Yet, he is also attracted by the danger, for he knows he can only overcome his fear by facing it. His blind rage then begins to focus on the men who are the source of the danger - and of his fear. It concentrates inside him, and through some chemistry is transformed into a fierce resolve to fight until the danger ceases to exist. But this resolve, which is sometimes called courage, cannot be separated from the fear that has aroused it. Its very measure is the measure of that fear. It is, in fact, a powerful urge not to be afraid anymore, to rid himself of fear by eliminating the source of it. This inner, emotional war produces tension almost sexual in its intensity. It is too painful to endure for long. All a soldier can think about is the moment when he can escape his impotent confinement and release this tension. All other considerations, the rights and wrongs of what he is doing, the chances for victory or defeat in the battle, the battle's purpose or lack of it, become so absurd as to be less than irrelevant. Nothing matters except the final, critical instant when he leaps out into the violent catharsis he both seeks and dreads." (Pages 277-8) <br /> <br />Caputo's thoughtful and passionate recounting of the growing up that he did in the cauldron of Vietnam added to my understanding of what many of my generation experienced as they fought in Southeast Asia and returned to a country that had grown sick of the fighting. As our nation once again wrestles with combat fatigue and the questions of when to withdraw and how to withdraw from Iraq, I am grateful that this time around - unlike the situation that existed in the late `60's and 70's - even those who oppose the war have not showered those returning from the Gulf with opprobrium. They desire our admiration and our gratitude. <br /> <br />Thanks Kyle, for recommending this book, and for your continuing service to our nation. <br /> <br />AlThe extraordinary betseller that provides a close-up look unlike any other, at the American experience in Vietnam. Powerful, vivid, compassionate, and heartbreaking, here is a very personal and yet universal grunt's-eye-view of the hopeless brutality and the ultimate, and seemingly endless horror where men and governments sacrificed their morality and the souls of their nation.<P>067973525903933108920767902890157322543601402654732395United States465252Civil War2376Historical2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books2424Military & Spies2419Professionals & Academics2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books465244Military465246United States Civil War2396Leaders & Notable People2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books4853United States485419th Century486120th Century119614221st Century4867African Americans4868Civil War4869Colonial Period4871Revolution & Founding14278871State & Local4808Americas9History1000Subjects283155Books5025Vietnam War5011Military9History1000Subjects283155Books4870History: Americas: United States: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books465250Biographies & Memoirs: Historical: United States: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books465284History: Asia: Vietnam: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books886496Biographies & Memoirs: Leaders & Notable People: Military: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0684811057http://www.amazon.com/SOG-Secret-Americas-Commandos-Vietnam/dp/0684811057%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0684811057466928http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31JecBSIQAL._SL75_.jpg7549http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31JecBSIQAL._SL160_.jpg160105http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31JecBSIQAL._SL500_.jpg330216John L.

Outstanding

This exceptional story of US commandos and their allies the Montagnards, called the Yards, who were fiercely enemies of the North Vietnamese communists, is written by one of a three tours veterans in the SOG. <br /> <br />John Plaster is particularly good in the way he reveals the magnificent acts of heroism, of chivalry, of gallantry, of comradeship these commandos lived. <br /> <br />These true elite fighters who always fought behind the enemy lines inflicted tremendous damages to the NVA forces. As the author quotes in the book : " SOG recon men consistently killed more than one hundred NVA for each list Green Beret, a ratio that climbed as high as 150:1" <br />Moreover: "At one point each American Green Beret operating in Laos was tying down six hundred NVA defenders, or about one NVA battalion per SOG recon man in the field". <br /> <br />These soldiers are the quintessence of qualities of the USA. As a French citizen (with some family having fought in the French Para Legion in Indochina) I could not think otherwise than them being of the true nobility. <br />06848110572112008-05-30

SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam

I am a veteran of SOG having served with CCC, FOB-2, Kontum RVN. After being assigned to ST Illinois I pulled several missions and suddenly found myself One-Zero (Team Leader) after the One-Zero quit Recon and moved on to the Hatchet Force. <br /> <br />I have conversed with John Plaster on several occasions and have purchased all his books. In this particular book I am mentioned on pages 89-90 where he (Plaster)tells what he says is the story of the "Bright Lights" mission that recovered the body of SP5 John Kedenburg MOH. I and my assistant Team Leader, One-One,Mike Tramel have read this tale and were absolutely astounded to learn from Plaster's book what a couple of bumbling heroes we were. In short, the only truthful details is our names. The date, and details of the mission are l00% BS. <br /> <br />In addition to our mission Plaster makes several stupid statements in his book that defy the imagination. For example: <br /> <br />He states that Thunderstorms in VN (SE Asia) do not produce lightning only thunder. <br /> <br />He was issued a Silenced Swedish K SMG. To the best of my knowledge and belief we had a plethora of Silenced Sten Guns/.22 cal colt woodsman pistols, a conex container of Swedcish K"s but none had silencers. <br /> <br />He always checked his safety just prior of getting out of the Helicopter to insure, due to humid weather in VN, that it had not rusted solid. Now this would be a real trick since the receiver of the CAR-15 was aluminium alloy and did not rust. <br /> <br />Going to the Club and singing "Old Blue" everytime a US SF soldier was lost. This never happened while I was at the FOB ,again to the best of my knowledge and belief. However, SFC James McGlon was known as "Old Blue" because he was always singing "Old Blue" at the Club. <br /> <br />This is just a few of the untruths I found in his book and I don't have it in my possession so I might extract other parts of his tales that I know to be incorrect. Suffices to say, that every SF Soldier (circa1968), that I have spoken with have the same opinion of the Plaster's Books.BTW Neither Mike or myself were interviewed by Plaster prior to the publication of his book <br /> 06848110575112008-04-06

Superb!

This is a book I bought based on the VERY high reviews on Amazon. To me this one lived up to the high praise. I had no idea what SOG was - now I do ...& I am very impressed. There are so many great stories in here - almost all incredible life & death situations. I have the highest respect for the men who served in SOG. Worth buying for sure.06848110575002008-01-11

What a great book.

Well researched and well written. If you want to know about Special Forces recon teams in Vietnam, don't pass this one up.06848110575112007-11-09

Well written and Entertaining

Read this book a while back and I just want to say it was a terrific read, with good stories about our fighting men who performed magnificently in an unpopular war for an ungrateful populace. Thank you Vietnam veterans for your service. Major John L. Plaster, a three-tour veteran of Vietnam tells the story of the most highly classified United States covert operatives to serve in the war: The Studies and Observations Group, code-named SOG. Comprised ofvolunteers from such elite military units as the Army's Green Berets, the USAF Air Commandos, and Navy SEALs, SOG agents answered directly to the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs, with some missions requiring approval from the White House. Now for the first time, the dangerous assignments of this top-secret unit can at last be revealed!B000H2NAUS08041187280804116377080411765903933108924853United States485419th Century486120th Century119614221st Century4867African Americans4868Civil War4869Colonial Period4871Revolution & Founding14278871State & Local4808Americas9History1000Subjects283155Books5025Vietnam War5011Military9History1000Subjects283155Books16252731Southeast Asia4884Asia9History1000Subjects283155Books4870History: Americas: United States: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books5014History: Military: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0590134620http://www.amazon.com/Standing-Light-Captive-Catharine-America/dp/0590134620%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0590134620180182http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MGTDK6MAL._SL75_.jpg7553http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MGTDK6MAL._SL160_.jpg160113http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MGTDK6MAL._SL500_.jpg475334Mary Pope OsborneHardcover9780590134620800590134620Scholastic Inc.EnglishEnglishEnglish7501095USD$10.95Scholastic Inc.1186Book1998-09-01Scholastic Inc.Ages 9-12Scholastic Inc.5055078USD$0.781USD$0.011095USD$10.95781687011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewqZFwJg8n5byHpdxSfvAWkprr4I5y809bqvx1bHsrblt0dhNlzc2y4CDQSXmMrSUTL0tgbET4Ggmdi%2FD6t55KbA%3D%3D931USD$9.31Usually ships in 24 hours5.01042105901346205002008-04-16

Really Good

It was a really good book.My favorite part was when she finally becomes friends with the indians.Although recommend it to older kids becuase of the violence.05901346205332008-03-18

A beautiful book with a gripping narrative!

I love reading books in diary form and the "Dear America" series of books for younger readers are not only beautifully bound, but each individual story is truly engaging, transporting readers into a bygone era with its entailing adventures. <br /> <br />The heroines are typically young girls who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances - and having to display immense courage in trying times. "Standing in the Light" is the diary of Catharine Carey Logan, a Quaker who lived in the Delaware Valley in Pennsylvania c 1763. Her diary is an account of her experiences growing up in the valley and also about her capture by the Lenape Indians. It is a sad yet very engrossing read. <br /> <br />Another highlight of the book is the author's historical note on life in America during the time [1763] - there are also illustrations and drawings of Quakers and Lenape Indians engaged in their respective pursuits, and highlights the cultural differences between the two groups. In conclusion - an engaging historical read!05901346205002007-11-29

Indeans Every Were

INDIANS EVERY WERE <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Catty gets kidnapped by Indians, <br />Thomas gets sick, <br />Will Catty marry Snow Hunter? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In the book, Standing in the Light Catty's family respects the Indians. <br />They leave their doors unlocked and windows open to show the Indians <br />They are not afraid. But one night the Indians swoop throw the window <br />And kidnap Catty and Thomas. <br /> <br />My favorite part is when Catty's Indian Grandmother tells her <br />Indian mother that Catty and snow hunter are probley going to get <br />Married. I like this part because it is sweet and unsuspecting and <br />Catty is so surprised <br /> <br />I think the authors main idea is you can go from HOME to HOME <br />And will always be loved. <br /> <br />I would recommend this because it is surprising and you won't want <br />To stop!!!!! <br />By:Lauren05901346205332007-08-07

A great book

Standing in the Light was an excellent book. Caty and her brother Thomas are kidnapped by the Lenape on their way home from school. At first Caty feels they'll be killed but instead they return to the Lenape village where she and her brother are separated and giving to two new families. This was the first time I'd ever heard of the Lenape and the author painted a vivid picture of what these Native Americans were like. I loved the transformation as Caty goes from fearing her captives, to loving them especially one in particular Snow Hunter. 05901346205002007-05-24

Standing In The Light!!!!

I absolutly loved this book. It made my stomach have butterflies. It feels like you are actually in the book. It was interesting and sad. I almost cried for some parts. LOL I would recomend this book to any kid who loves excitement, and history.

Excellent

Well researched, analyzed, and written. <br /> <br />I see why Buffett was silently acceptive in autographing it. Superb job in reporting both analytical economics and personal life. Truth. <br /> <br />I will read more from this author.08129792734002008-05-05

Warren Buffett until 1995

I gave this book 4 stars only because it was published in 1995, which is over a decade ago. It is a good source for background information about a corporate executive I respect--and there are few of those to be found. Buffett told the author he would nothing to help or hinder, and the journalistic quality and information is well-presented and -documented. A good place to learn more about the "Oracle of Omaha". I'd like to see Lowenstein do a follow-up covering the more recent years.08129792735002008-05-04

Fascinating Biography

Before writing my impressions of this book, I think it is first important to identify the reviewer so others can see my perspective. I am a young graduate with limited to no investing experience. I became interest in Warren Buffett after reading a fair amount of articles on Buffett the person; his success in investing, his political views, his recent contribution to the Gates charity, and most importantly, his character. I became intrigued enough to inquire about the details of who this man is and his philosophy. <br /> <br />This was exactly what the book offered; it is a biography, not an investment guide. That said, it is not really possible to unlink Buffett the person and Buffett the investor. His core values are too in entwined for it to be anything other. Lowenstein does a great job of presenting information in terms that a layman like myself can understand (with some help from simple research) while still providing enough information to get the details about Buffett's investment strategies and core values. <br /> <br />I found the book to be both informative and enticing. It has instilled in me a great respect for the man, as well as an interest in becoming less of an investment layman. The book is a bit dated, now being about 13 years old, but after reading it, I find this point moot. Buffett's approach has been the same since he learned from Graham, just with more information and an increasing scope in which to apply his tactics. <br /> <br />In my opinion, Lowenstein did a fantastic job researching his subject matter. The book is ripe with references and further signs that he truly knows his subject. I also found little to no signs of a subjective approach in respect to either glorifying Buffett or demonizing him, as far as is humanly possible. Buffett's mistakes are presented as clearly as his amazing triumphs (and they are quite amazing). Lowenstein's approach is instead to provide as clear as possible a presentation of Buffett's character, which is again entwined with his (enormous) successes and (minor) setbacks. <br /> <br />Highly recommended for those interested in his character. Again, this book is a biography, not an investment guide, but it seems hard to separate the two in regards to Buffett.08129792735002008-04-17

educational and insightful

Warren Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist is a touching, human portrayal of a true capitalist. Roger Lowenstein's portrait of Warren Buffett as a modern day mathematical wizard and financier was touching both in its humanity and educational in its documentation of the making of the most successful, modern entrepreneur. <br /> <br />One would be interested to hear more about what Mr. Buffet has been up to since the release of this book. There have been significant events that have followed. <br /> <br />This is the book to read if one is interested in a biography of Warren Buffett. Highly Recommended.08129792735112008-04-15

The Best of Buffett-Great Book

Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Lowenstein is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. It was difficult to put this book down. If you enjoy an enterprising adventure, you'll love this one. More than investment epic biography; it is an exciting light fun read. There are tidbits of investing genius around every corner. My connection came when I learned how enterprising Warren was even as a young boy and then it gets better and better. Our investment club, also selected this book to study in 2008 and it has been exceeding expectations. It is one of several books I have read on the topic of Warren Buffett and it is by-far-and-away, the best.

Great!!!!!

I ordered The Food Revolution as a gift. I had absolutely "zero" problems with this transaction. PS. I love this book/author. <br />Wendy15745341735002008-05-30

Important book for its time with a real message.

The Food Revolution has a message for anyone who never thinks twice about the consequences of their food choices. It will even enlighten those who feel confident that they make the right food choices because they listen to their doctors. And its message is strong even to those who think vegetarians are prudes and are missing out on "the finer things." Robbins lays out the facts, using research articles as evidence, to criticize the food industry's claims and present the contradicting findings resulting from good sound science. Using this method he exposes the stark realities of the American diet that for the most part will get you to wonder why you have lived your life without ever wondering about such things as where your food comes from, how it was made, and what impact it has on the environment. Robbins explains to you the enormous impact that the single act of eating has on your body, the human population, and the planet itself. This book is huge in its scope and contains facts from hundreds of sources, and its rather objective delivery makes it a necessary read for anyone interested in studying diet, nutrition, disease, environmental protection, science, and agriculture. His sources are sometimes repetitive, be it the same person or organization, and as a result at these times his arguments lack clout. But these sources are solid and true, therefore not taking very much away from Robbins' message to America about the hazards of the current American diet.15745341735002008-05-29

The Book That Convinced Me

While it was vegan ultra-runner Scott Jurek who convinced me to change my diet, about 6 months later a friend recommended this book to me, and for the most part it's this man and this book that have convinced me plant-based nutrition is the future. <br /> <br />In answering a question for me that I submitted on his website, John Robbins led me to Vegsource and the rest of the gang. While it took a little time for a response to my question, when I did receive it, it came directly from John Robbins. I was quite surprised by this, and felt that I shouldn't "needlessly" bother him again, even with a thank you. <br /> <br />THANK YOU JOHN ROBBINSHealthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples <br /> <br />15745341735122008-03-10

Riveting and Compelling

Great book, everyone should read this book.

This book really opened my eyes to a healthly livestyle for myself, and also for the world. Please read this book!<div>Here, the man who started the "food revolution" with the million-plus-selling Diet for a New America, boldly posits that, collectively, our personal diet can save ourselves and the world. If, according to chaos theory, the beating of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricane in another part of the world, try this out for chaotic cause and effect: monarch butterflies are dying in droves due to genetically-engineered corn growing in the Midwest. There is also a direct correlation between the Big Mac in your hand and the mile-wide river now running across the North Pole. Learn the truth about foods we are eating that are, in Robbins' words, "unsafe on any plate."</div>1932100660091581181214000652161570671036156924264XB0007Y6BS42261General2259Health, Mind & Body44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books658010General44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books4338Cooking, Food & Wine: Vegetables & Vegetarian: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books4616Health, Mind & Body: Diets & Weight Loss: Diets: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books298657Health, Mind & Body: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books465600New & Used Textbooks468220Business & Finance468226Communication & Journalism468204Computer Science468224Education468212Engineering468206Humanities468222Law468228Medicine684283011Reference468216Science & Mathematics468214Social Sciences684300011Test Prep & Study Guides251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books319654011Qualifying Textbooks368369011All Titles368370011Arts & Photography368371011Biographies & Memoirs368372011Business & Investing368373011Children's Books368375011Computers & Internet368376011Cooking, Food & Wine368377011Engineering368378011Entertainment368379011Gay & Lesbian368380011Home & Garden368381011Literature & Fiction368382011Medicine368384011Nonfiction368385011Outdoors & Nature368386011Parenting & Families368387011Professional368388011Reference368389011Religion & Spirituality368391011Science368393011Teens368394011Travel251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books4336Vegetables & Vegetarian4210Fruit4320Health4341Potatoes4342Salads4619Vegan4344Vegetables6Cooking, Food & Wine1000Subjects283155Books4617Healthy4615Diets4613Diets & Weight Loss10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books465686Healthy Living282800Personal Health10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books394186011Abridged394185011Edition (format)388186011Refinements283155Books618077011Books on Cassette618075011Audiobooks618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB00008NRH4http://www.amazon.com/MouseDriver-Chronicles-John-Lusk/dp/B00008NRH4%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00008NRH41560501http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E31DZFZ5L._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E31DZFZ5L._SL160_.jpg160106http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E31DZFZ5L._SL500_.jpg475315John LuskKyle HarrisonHardcoverBargain Price1008202400USD$24.001256Book2002-0195570657USD$6.57558USD$5.584900005.010121B00008NRH45112007-12-31

Great for Entrepreneurs!

The book spells out tips for starting a business (use credit cards instead of banks) and the mistakes the authors made along the way (when do you enter the market). You can even contact them after reading and talk to them about your ideas. The encouraging aspect of the book is that while they are starting their business, they spoke to their classmates who were making $200,000 on wall street and working for the dot-coms, but John and Kyle were not discouraged. I am happy that they were able to take an idea like a computer mouse shaped like a gold club and turn it into THEIR company. Congrats guys!B00008NRH45222005-03-22

Greg Fisher

The Mousedriver Chronicles is the story of 2 Wharton MBA's who take a business plan developed on their entrepreneurship course at Wharton and decide to make a go of it. In 1999 they turn away high paying jobs at investment banks and over funded dot.com startups to go it alone. <br /> <br />Their idea: to make and sell a computer mouse that looks like the head of a golf driver. <br /> <br />They fund the venture themselves, find a manufacturer in Hong Kong, move to San Francisco (to be part of all the start up vibe in The Bay area) and run the business from the kitchen of their rented flat. <br /> <br />Their story is brilliantly relayed as they grapple with manufacturing, marketing and distribution hassles. The single product focus of their new company, named Platinum Concepts Inc., makes for a wonderful entrepreneurial story with excellent lessons about what it takes to succeed as a self funded start up. The two founders quickly learn that they need more than the theoretical knowledge acquired on their MBA at Wharton; they need to be street wise. They experiment with different mechanisms to make things happen and end up categorizing their execution strategies as follows: <br />Plan A: Make use of their business school network and contacts <br />Plan B: Hit the streets and the shops to find a creative solution <br />Plan C: Work the Yellow Pages <br /> <br />More often than not, plan B and C worked far better than plan A. <br /> <br />One of the founders, John Lusk, began sharing their entrepreneurial adventure with friends and family via a monthly email called "The Insider". The Insider was a real, often humorous, sometimes highly insightful newsletter about their adventure. The insider subscriber list grew and grew. MBA lecturers began distributing The Insider as prescribed reading. In 2001 Inc. Magazine featured a cover story on the company and its two founders. The Inc. cover story entitled "An American Start-up" focuses on the impact of The Insider e-mail newsletter. The email newsletters were used as the foundation for the book published in 2001 entitled The "Mousedriver Chronicles". <br />The company has since been shut down but the Mousedriver website still serves as a portal for entrepreneurs and copies of The Insider newsletter can be found in PDF format on the website: www.mousedriver.com <br />B00008NRH45112004-11-10

An excellent snapshot of a real business during the bubble

There is so much in this book that I can relate to, having started my own company around the same time in Silicon Valley (although in software). John and Kyle made the same mistakes that many entrepreneurs thankfully make - they followed their passion instead of their senses, and didn't buckle under the pressure and the unknown. One other valuable lesson from this book -- document your process. This is a great way to share your successes and your mistakes with others. I wish we had more stories like this when I was working on my MBA - something more than the dry, non-applicable case studies stuck in front of us. And John and Kyle also provided one other important gem: how to save a few bucks a month at the neighborhood gym. Thanks guys.B00008NRH45232004-08-24

Amazing Book

MouseDriver is about two guys who graduate from Wharton with MBAs in 1999 (the heart of the internet boom) and start a business manufacturing and selling a computer mouse that looks like the head of a driver golf club, turning down high paying jobs at dotcoms, investment banks, consulting firms etc. <br /> <br />As a small business consultant (Transcendence Consulting, LLC tcllc.net) I can tell you right now that if you are looking to start a busines, buy this book TODAY. It is an amazing look at the entire process of starting a business, from the ability to jump head first, manage yourself during <br />the highs and lows, deal with self doubt and solve an endless supply of problems. It is an easy read that will take you no time at all to complete.B00008NRH44002004-06-01

An unexpected enjoyable truip

I was in a book store and I was attracted to the title and the cover color. I picked up the book and read the jacket and I was hooked. I hardly ever buy non-technical books -especially non-fiction. But I was hooked after reading the jacket so I bought the book and assiduously read and enjoyed it. Also I am a Wharton alumnus. I also took classes with Len Lodish.<p>Eric EricssonJohn Lusk and Kyle Harrison seemed slightly out of their minds when, unlike their fellow MBAs, they skipped on flashy, lucrative offers from dot-coms to become entrepreneurs. Specifically, to produce and sell a computer mouse designed to look like a golf-club head (a state-of-the-art titanium driver to be exact). "I wanted to feel the pain of starting a company," Lusk writes in this clear and insightful memoir, "to go into debt, have my ego crushed and experience first-hand the thrill of working like a dog for months without a paycheck." Since he also expected to make a million in two years, it's not surprising that all these come to pass. The duo struggle with the fundamentals of making and selling, run-ins with typhoons, shabby off-shore manufacturing, and soon dot-com envy sets in. But when the dot-coms start going belly-up, this little-retail-product-company-that-could shows that the basics of business still apply--a handy lesson for those wondering what happened after the dot-com crash, as well as any would-be entrepreneurs wanting to make a go of it. <I>--Lesley Reed</I> <div>It all started late one night at The Ginger Man, a popular restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Using the back of a beer coaster and the bartender's pen, Kyle Harrison, in a moment of inspiration, began sketching an unusual computer mouse, shaped like the head of a driver golf club. He took the idea with him to the Wharton School of Business, where he managed to impress his roommate, John Lusk. Upon graduation, they bravely but somewhat naïvely set forth to launch their company, Platinum Concepts, Inc., and its flagship product, MouseDriver&#8482;. Settling in San Francisco in an apartment that doubled as home and worldwide business headquarters, they had a front-row seat to the dot-com boom-watching their classmates rake in piles of cash and stock options, while they financed their venture with their own credit cards.The MouseDriver&#8482; Chronicles is the riveting, one-of-a-kind narrative that chronicles their entrepreneurial journey. It takes us behind the scenes of the authors' tumultuous first two years of business, years marked by endless corporate cold calling, multiple failed attempts to find a distributor, and even a typhoon that derailed their very first shipment of MouseDrivers.A must-read for anyone who wants to start a business or wonders what it is like to do so, The MouseDriver&#8482; Chronicles will inform, inspire, and renew our faith in the American spirit to succeed against all odds.</div>159184056215905971410966963563193288101807879961301000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books2489General2487History45Bargain Books251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books16383271General2459Business & Investing45Bargain Books251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books394172011Bargain Books394171011Promotion (special_merchandising_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1574531352http://www.amazon.com/Second-Sight-Judith-Orloff-M-D/dp/1574531352%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D15745313521731508http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/213SNT2SVKL._SL75_.jpg7546http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/213SNT2SVKL._SL160_.jpg14086http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/213SNT2SVKL._SL500_.jpg14086Judith Orloff M.D.Audio Cassette133.840929781574531350AbridgedAudiobook781574531352Audio LiteratureEnglishEnglishEnglish7001795USD$17.95Audio Literature2Book1997-04Audio LiteratureAudio Literature33437403USD$4.0301000005.0951915745313525222008-01-29

Brilliantly Written and Inspirational

Second Sight was recommended to me by a friend who knew of my interest in the psychic, and I am so happy she did...I could not put this book down, looking forward to sitting quietly each morning to read the next chapter in Ms. Orloff's life. A must read for anyone interested in the spiritual, psychic, or healing abilities. With this book, Ms. Orloff has inspired me to reach out and explore a long desired interest in my own psychic abilities and it's spiritual connection. Highly recommended! 15745313525332007-10-18

A courageous story

I have been reading many different books dealing with healing, spiritual growth and energy medicine. Most have a variety of resources to offer and to guide you. In her book, Judith goes beyond techniques. She reveals the difficulties of growing up with a spiritual gift. And what makes her story so different from others is that Judith tells not only the beautiful side of what such a gift can give you, but also the challenges and the incredible responsibility that is imbedded in having psychic abilities. <br /> <br />Judith's book gives you her own story in a clear, passionate and courageous way. She is a pioneer in revealing what most people may not understand; and even reject in an academic and professional setting. It is not easy in such a setting to advance your career and serve others in a meaningful way acknowledging that you have psychic abilities. Judith has been able to do that and has found a way to show others that is possible to have a career without ignoring or rejecting your psychic abilities. <br /> <br />In a time, that many are trying to ¨have psychic abilities ¨ it is a blessing to find someone who shows that those gifts must be developed with a purpose different than just being special or have some power. As she correctly points out those abilities must be embedded in a deep connection with the divine within each of us. <br />15745313525662007-05-31

I can breathe now

It's like I can take a deep breath and relax now. Someone once asked me "How do you feel when you enter a room where there's a lot of fighting and anger?" My immediate response was: "I recoil and want to run out of there." I thought everybody felt this way. Granted we all feel things up to a certain level, but the notion that I feel more than most never occurred to me. Doesn't everyone? I thought. Learning I was not alone in my experiences was a huge relief and revelation to me. When I read Dr. Orloff's book I felt I had found me. I now knew who I was and could now just simply enjoy what once seemed like a curse. Feeling everything like I have been up to date without understanding it is "crazy making." I now realized no, it's a blessing, I have been given a whole 'nother level of awareness and depth. It is powerful. Hearing Dr. Orloff explain it through sharing her life- it blew the barn doors open. She talks openly about all her experiences as well as how she deeply respects her gifts and how she has combined these with traditional methodologies. Yes, there is a feeling of "safety" that she has credentials when reading this, but for me the true safety comes in how Dr. Orloff has chosen to use her gifts and live her life. She deeply respects what she has and is grateful for it. She does not misuse what she has and adds seriousness and credibility to her spiritual gifts. <br /> <br />I bought a copy of this book for my sister as she feels things on the hyper-sensitive scale as I. My sister gets massive migraines and has been taking medication to manage this. After reading Dr. Orloff's story and learned how she went through a phase of medicating herself to "escape" until she new what to do with what she had been given, I related this to my sister. She opened up to me and told me more things that she had experienced as a child. I now hope that my sister will be able to understand herself an accept and enjoy these gifts she has been given. <br /> <br />As far as I'm concerned Dr. Orloff is opening doors for people and allowing everyone to relax as well as respect a whole arena of the human experience that typically gets shunned, and until very recently even went punished. And the biggest tragedy of all is that these gifts have gone unused, denied and ignored by many and dismissed as sillyness or even crazyness of some kind. With this openess and understanding of what is really going on many can now not waste what they have been blessed with and can live incredibly rich, powerful lives. There's nothing to reject or push away. In fact, this is cause for celebration. Thank you for sharing your story, Dr. Orloff.15745313525112007-05-22

Mystical magical life story

Judith Orloff has a deep mystical current running through this enchanting autobiography. She writes with candor and insight into the intuitive nature we all possess and -if we are wise- whose counsel we heed. Offering a guidebook, life story, and adventure -all in one book, this is highly recommended reading for anyone who feels the tug of spiritual awakening to our mystical potential. I used this book while teaching my college class and students all loved it! Well-written, credible, and delightful!B000S9D53C0812930983159179319X1591794056159179546X2321General2317Religion & Spirituality44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2322Inspiration & Philosophy2317Religion & Spirituality44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books586082General2234Biographies & Memoirs44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books658010General44Books on Cassette368395011Audiobooks504358Formats251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2375Biographies & Memoirs: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books11043Nonfiction: Philosophy: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books12504Religion & Spirituality: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books12667Religion & Spirituality: New Age: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2346New Age2327Arts & Literature2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books11019Philosophy11021Aesthetics15811681Analytic Philosophy15811611Ancient11023Consciousness & Thought886132Criticism11025Eastern11035Epistemology11037Ethics & Morality11041Free Will & Determinism11045Good & Evil11047Greek & Roman11049History & Surveys11051History, 17th & 18th Century15811621Islamic11053Logic & Language11054Medieval Thought11055Metaphysics15811591Methodology11057Modern11059Modern Renaissance886134Movements15811661Ontology16009971Philosophy of Religion11065Political11070Reference11072Religious13872Science15811601Social Philosophy11077Theism53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books12621New Age12624Astrology12631Chakras12634Channeling12636Divination12662Dreams15755611Goddesses12669Meditation12671Mental & Spiritual Healing12673Mysticism12676New Thought12678Reference12681Reincarnation12683Self-Help12685Theosophy12687Urantia297529Visionary Fiction22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12705ESP12689Occult22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12817Inspirational12809Spirituality22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books394186011Abridged394185011Edition (format)388186011Refinements283155Books618077011Books on Cassette618075011Audiobooks618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books1586212591http://www.amazon.com/Driver-8-Dale-Earnhardt/dp/1586212591%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D15862125911486953http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BWH66NB2L._SL75_.jpg7545http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BWH66NB2L._SL160_.jpg16097http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BWH66NB2L._SL500_.jpg500303Dale EarnhardtJade GurssAudio CassetteDavid Thomas796.720929781586212599AbridgedAudiobook1081586212591Warner AdultEnglishEnglishEnglish6962498USD$24.98Warner Adult4Book
