Really Useful Tool Book.......2005-02-23

It is a very useful tool book, for a marketing professional, a business student, or anyone who is interesting in marketing. Almost every term can be found in this book, and has a clear, simple and sufficient explaination.

Concise Reference for Managers and Marketers.......2003-03-14

This is a handy desk reference for marketing folks and the people who work with them. And a great value. Definitions are concise and well-written (but the trade-off is they are sometimes incomplete). Good coverage of trade terms (but marketing academics and researchers might want to look elsewhere).

Not bad as a children's book.......2004-04-03

There are much better general children's biographies of Ulysses S. Grant, but this book is especially strong in the military aspects of Grant's career. Special care is devoted to Grant's participation in the Mexican War and several chapters are set aside for detailed examinations of Grant's civil war campaigns. This is a surprisingly strong entry in the children's biography field, and the descriptions of Grant's various battles are generally accurate and simplified for the younger reader. The author's take on the Vicksburg campaign is actually highly entertaining and takes a complicated campaign, reducing it to something a child could comprehend.

Book Description

An author of unusual ability, Ulysses S. Grant is best known for his "Memoirs" which are widely regarded among the great books written in the English language. Through his writings, the Union general and 18th president of the United States reveals himself to be a complex individual with uncommon virtues.

A masterpiece of American literature.......2004-03-14

General Grant wrote this book while dying of throat cancer. He had been swindled by a dishonest Wall Street Broker and his trophies and possessions were stripped from him to satisfy the demands of his debtors. Bankrupt, suffering from a terminal illness and never passing a moment without acute pain, he produced this magnificent monument to his greatness. Those who denigrate Grant as a drunkard, butcher or bumbling President need to read this book in order to correct these errant assumptions. It is impossible to read this book and not realize that Grant was an inordinately intelligent man and one hell of a writer.

Grant's Memoirs are a deserved classic in American literature and considered the greatest military Memoirs ever penned, exceeding Caesar's Commentaries. Grant wrote as he lived: with clear, concise statements, unembellished with trivialities or frivolities. The only "criticism" the reader might have is that Grant bent over backwards not to wound the feelings of people in the book. He takes swipes at Joe Hooker and Jeff Davis, but what he left unsaid would have been far more interesting. A compelling and logical reason why Grant was so spare in his comments was because he was involved in a race with death. He didn't know how long he could live and therefore, "cut to the chase."

Grant's assessments of Lincoln, Sherman, Sheridan and other military leaders are brilliant and engrossing. His style, like the man himself, was inimitable and couldn't be copied. In everyday life, Grant was a very funny man, who liked to listen to jokes and tell them himself. His sense of the absurd was acute. It's no accident that he loved Mark Twain and the two hitched together very well. Twain and Grant shared a similar sense of humor, and Grant's witicisms in the Memoirs are frequent, unexpected and welcome. There are portions where you will literally laugh out loud.

Book Description

Known as the "savior of the Union" during the Civil War, General Grant went on to serve as the 18th president of the United States from 1869-1877. This second volume of his memoirs was completed just days prior to his death from throat cancer in 1885.

Book Description

Triangle Histories introduce a new concept to American history series. Each title in this collection interweaves and overlaps with others in its own unique way. And each title provides a different perspective on the subject. For example, The Battle of Vicksburg, the biography Ulysses S. Grant, and the biography Abraham Lincoln, overlap and intersect at a number of points. Grant was the Union commander at Vicksburg at a time when Lincoln was under great pressure to replace the general.

"Autobiography of a book shop and its visitors!".......2001-05-27

In the tradition of Sylvia Beach's "Shakespeare and Co." and Frances Stetloff's "Wise Men Fish Here," Robert Wilson presents an engaging memoir of his years as owner of the Phoenix Bookstore in NY's Greenwich Village from the '60s to the '80s. The autobiographies of bookstores (and to some degree their entrepreneurial owners) afford the book enthusiast the opportunity to vicariously experience the ownership of a storefront bookshop, but to also experience first hand the people who pass through their doors (the Phoenix guest book signers are listed as an appendix). In this case Wilson focuses both on the Beats, their circle and successors, providing sincere portraits of Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Diane di Prima and many others, as well as on other major 20th century icons including W.H. Auden, Marianne Moore, and Alice B. Toklas. His chapter "Tea with Miss Toklas" is among the book's highlights! A wonderful read.
