This book saved me from getting fired.......2006-07-15
I accidentally had the misfortune to have director of my dept notice me and he was bent on getting rid of me ASAP. I was at the lowest point of my life and was getting written up at my new job on the grounds that I was tactless and rude to my fellow co-workers, who I didn't work with.
I had 6 years of experience in the field and was definitely not naive in the workforce. However, I never played office politics. My immediate manager did not want to do the dirty work of firing me though she was instructed by this director, so she suggested that I get some training on anything to help me with my situation. I found this book in the company library and it described everything that was happening to me with this new company. I followed the suggestion of 'laying low' until they forgot about me and it worked.
All of this happened in 2001 and now it is 2006, I am happy to say that I am still employed with this company and all the managers that I had the bad experience to work with (including the director) has left the dept or the company. This book saved me emotionally and financially, as my expertise is very specific and I was 'black-listed' from getting employment from other companies. I learn this when I tried to transfer jobs and nobody would hire me after they learn my name. I am so glad this author took the time to write this book as I have never seen anything so clearly written to describe real office politics.
Sarcasism Extraodindary.......2001-05-20
Great Humor. Sarcastic look at fellow employees, management , and procedures. I saw myself and co-workers in this book. This stuff is all too true; the author had the guts to tell it like it is.
Insightful look at How People Survive in the Corporate World.......2000-06-24
I thought this book was extremely humorous while conveying a realistic perspective about life in big companies. The Personality types, Games, and Procedures mentioned are all too real. This book somehow comforted me because I shared some of the experiences discussed. I almost missed a good read because of the two negative reviews in Amazon. It seemed as if those reviewers were advertising 2 other books instead of giving an honest apprasial of this book. For example, I found only 3 references to frequent flier miles and their use. Perhaps the context and humor of this reference was not understood.
Buy "The Dilbert Principle" instead.......2000-06-01
Most everything in the book somehow ends up back to people wanting to travel to get frequent flyer miles. I travel a lot for my job...the frequent flyer miles are not worth it. Where did the author get that idea anyway. Dilbert (Scott Adams)is a much better authority on office high-jinx.
Don't bother waking up for this one.......2000-02-17
If you are completely new to the work world, and very naive in general, this book may tell you something new about the way things work in business. The subject matter was mostly fluff, and was far from funny. Try reading Winning Office Politics by Dubrin instead.

Given our modern-day obsession with stock speculation, our frenzied sprint toward pre-IPO investment, and our fascination with the creation of overnight wealth, Janet Gleeson's Millionaire is timely, to say the least. The story of John Law's life and legacy is nothing short of incredible, breath-catching drama.
Born into a Scottish family of Church clerics and goldsmiths in 1671, John Law grew up to exude little of the moral and much of the monetary influence in his blood. When, as a 23-year-old gambler and philandering playboy on the London scene, he killed a nobleman in a duel, he was thrown into prison and sentenced to death. After pursing legal channels of appeal and getting nowhere, he eventually escaped and began the life of a gambler-cum-aristocrat in exile. His uncanny knack at the card tables and renowned success with women earned him a dubious reputation within late seventeenth-century European social circles. But his equally outstanding mathematical skills and fascination with the mechanisms of credit also brought him to the attention of political leaders. After attempting to peddle his revolutionary scheme for creating a national bank that issued paper currency to officials in London, Scotland, Vienna, Turin, and elsewhere, Law finally convinced the war-impoverished French government to back his plan. The bank's success and the events that followed--Law's introduction of the "Mississippi scheme," a wild exercise in capital procurement and share offering that spawned the greatest bull market in history and its drastic crash--make this book fascinating reading for anyone playing the markets today.
Gleeson writes with clarity and style on topics that are notoriously complex and potentially dry. Without dumbing down her subject matter, she elucidates the finer points of credit-based financial systems and stock markets in readable English, welcoming both finance aficionados and illiterates to Law's tale. In that regard, the book is similar to Simon Winchester's The Professor and the Madman, and though ostensibly a record of the rise and fall of one of the world's most infamous--and ultimately influential--financiers, it is a story of murder, lust, politics, wealth, and poverty and far more intriguing than most fare in its often prosaic category. Indeed, this book will leap off your business bookshelf faster than you can ask who wants to be a millionaire. --S. Ketchum
Book Description
On the death of France's most glorious king, Louis XIV, in 1715, few people benefited from the shift in power more than the intriguing financial genius from Edinburgh, John Law. Already notorious for killing a man in a duel and for acquiring a huge fortune from gambling, Law had proposed to the English monarch that a bank be established to issue paper money with the credit based on the value of land. But Queen Anne was not about to take advice from a gambler and felon. So, in exile in Paris, he convinced the bankrupt court of Louis XV of the value of his idea.
Law soon engineered the revival of the French economy and found himself one of the most powerful men in Europe. In August 1717, he founded the Mississippi Company, and the Court granted him the right to trade in France's vast territory in America. The shareholders in his new trading company made such enormous profits that the term "millionaire" was coined to describe them. Paris was soon in a frenzy of speculation, conspiracies, and insatiable consumption. Before this first boom-and-bust cycle was complete, markets throughout Europe crashed, the mob began calling for Law's head, and his visionary ideas about what money could do were abandoned and forgotten.
In Millionaire, Janet Gleeson lucidly reconstructs this epic drama where fortunes were made and lost, paupers grew rich, and lords fell into penury -- and a modern fiscal philosophy was born. Her enthralling tragicomic tale reveals two great characters: John Law, with his complex personality and inscrutable motives, and money itself, whose true nature even to this day remains elusive.
Download Description
Three centuries ago, in an age when one man's vision and energy could change the world, John Law's would spark the first "boom and bust".
A Scot of striking appearance and magnetic personality, Law had an uncommon mathematical gift which he parlayed into a fortune from gambling. Escaping prison after killing a man in a duel, he arrived in Paris and turned his attention to finance. His idea was simple: if money were lent in the form of paper properly backed by assets, rather than in the traditional form of gold and silver coin, then the same money could be lent many times over. Law won royal backing to set up the first French bank to issue paper currency and established the most powerful conglomerate the world had ever seen.
So successful were Law's experiments that a new word was coined to describe the shareholders in his company: millionaire. What followed was epic drama: fortunes were made and lost, paupers grew rich, and lords fell to poverty. When the chaos finally abated, the man once feted throughout Europe and elevated to celebrity status in the world's most powerful nation had become an outcast.
With all the drama of The Professor and the Madman, Millionaire is a fascinating narrative about a crucial event in world financial history that holds uncanny relevance in our credit-based, investment-mad times.

A true life adventure plus an economics lesson.......2006-04-05
The author gives you a good story and an insight into why and how the paper money system was created and how vulnerable it is to abuse. This is a good time to read this book. The price of gold, in terms of paper money, is almost $600.
What, economic history can be fun?.......2004-12-27
I'm pretty enthusiastic about this book. I had a great time reading it, and suspect many others will react the same way. There may be a little too much dramatic sizzle for some, but when it comes to economic history (yawn), let's throw in the dueling, infidelity, card tricks and highway robbery. If you liked Kubrick's 'Barry Lyndon', this is better. This is one of those books which makes you want to read more on the subject.
Don't worry folks, you won't be bored with Adam Smith's sanitized version of Law's 'financial plans', this is the raw stuff... Despite the maze of corrupt doings, the story is likely to offend the politically correct by describing Law as a blameless 'genius', he just couldn't control the system he created. He could conjure up a mighty army of paper notes to do his financial heavy work, but it all gets out of control very quickly.
Depending on one's perspective, most will blame the Mississippi Bubble (and South Sea Bubble) on one of 3 targets: 1) the head of the central bank, 2) the head of the political regime, 3) the average citizen. In contemporary terms, who is culpable for the 2000 equity market collapse: Greenspan, the US President, the average 401K investor? With regard to the Mississippi Bubble, Gleeson suggests the political head (Regent) was relatively passive, and the average citizen incapable of controlling their greed. Thus, Law comes away playing the crooked role, though still the genius. For an alternative perspective, see "Business Cycles: From John Law to the Internet Crash" by Lars Tvede. Tvede suggests the Regent should get much of the blame for oversubscription.
Dr Greenspan and Mr Powers.......2004-03-12
This is a neat short biography of the man who is generally credited with the establishment of the French fiduciary system as we know it today on which all financial activity rests: paper money.
Now, Mr. Law was a serious player: great intelligence, great flair, solid acumen, and sharp sense of business and opportunity.
Law was endowed with a brilliant intellect and curious nature but he was not exactly a book worm. Far from this. Our man put the "grr" in swinger long before Austin Powers did.
Although Scottish, Law was not exactly known for his thrifty nature and avarice. Quite the opposite: he loved gambling, women, partying, his collars extra starched, and he took no crap from no one. Words like profligate or debauched were oftenly used in connection with mentioning his name (sometimes a bit admiratively, I might add).
A duel in which he killed one of the rich dandies of the time and apparently a rival, dramatically changed the course of Law's life; he fled to France where due to his pleasant appearance, wit, and fancy moves, he befriended people in high places ending with the king himself. The rest is history.
Law also has the dubious honor of having caused one of the first manias known to investors: Louisiana territory bubble as embodied in the Mississippi Company, a contemporary and rival to the British South Sea Company but with equally disastrous outcome for its investors. However, in his capacity of CEO, and with no insider deal legislation, Law amassed a fortune, gave meaning for the fist time to the word "millionaire", and as a side matter, made a lot of enemies in the process.
This book makes a thoroughly enjoyable reading. Law was by all accounts a remarkable person and his life and deeds are skillfully presented.
The author did a great job at researching the topic and makes extensive use of the writings of the day documenting the exploits of Mr. Law. If you enjoy adventure, a little bit of economic history, and colorful archaic language you will certainly like this text.
The moral: Law was good with theory but not even he knew that what goes up must eventually come down. Greed took the better of him. Vanity he already possessed in copious amounts, no issue there. Francis Galton enuntiated this about 200 years later in his famous and still valid "reversal to the mean" theory. I guess Law had to learn that one the hard way.
Another lost moment in history.......2003-12-21
In the 18th century, a Scotsman named John Law created a financial system using paper in place of coin with which to conduct business. He had come by the system not only through his unique financial acumen, but also through his talent for gambling. He was a man who could figure the odds, then turn them to his greater advantage.
An unfortuante duel in London prevented Law from introuducing his system to the English government, who hounded him for years over the death of Edward Wilson, a man with influential friends and family. Arrested and imprisoned, Law managed to escape to the continent. During his travels he met Katherine Seigneur, an Englishwoman of noble birth married to a Frenchman. True to his gambler's nature, he fell in love and she left with him, living as his wife for the rest of his life, in many cities on the continent. During their travels, Law tried over and over to convince heads of government that his financial system could be the answer to national money problems.
It was after the death of Louis XIV that he caught the ear and imagination of the Duc d'Orleans, regent of France during the minority of Louis XV. Starting fairly small at first, Law was allowed to institute a national bank and print paper money. Eventually he became the chief financial minister and head of the Mississippi Company -- a trading company whose very existence seemed to have disappeared from history. Although Law was remarkably intelligent about things financial, he seems, however, to have a flawed understanding of human nature. In the end, all of his creations tumbled over the edge, and the rise and fall of John Law was over and done in a flash.
For a career that affected most of western Europe, it seems that little is taught about him and his system. A book such as this adds much to one's knowledge of 18th century European history and the financial world of the time. It is a rare find and worth the read.
Lessons for Today's Economies in the Birth of Modern Finance.......2003-06-28
John Law was a middle-class Scotsman and fugitive from English justice who became the world's first "millionaire" and, in 1716, gave France the world's first national bank and paper money system. Law, with the cooperation of the Regent Duc d'Orleans, ushered France from oppressive debt to glorious wealth and introduced the world to the ideas of stock options, futures, conglomerate corporations, marketing, and an all-paper monetary system before his system crashed under the pressures of bad judgment, bad circumstances, and his enemies. Ironically, although John Law's ideas are as relevant today as they were 280 years ago, if not moreso, Law has been largely ignored in the 20th century by everyone except economic historians. To remedy this, Janet Gleeson has written a very readable biography of this economic visionary who did, indeed, invent modern finance, and who created the demand for transparency in banking matters and the concept of economic opportunity and upward mobility for all that we take for granted today. Because "Millionaire" is intended for the general reader, the author has simplified the details of Law's systems and kept numbers to a minimum, so you needn't be put off by the math. Far from tedious, John Law's story, his ideas about money, and his experience are as fascinating and revealing today as they were when he lived. John Law's life and legacy were no less than a quest to understand the ever-elusive nature of money, itself. His story has all the ingredients of a wildly entertaining novel... and all the lessons of a life that saw great accomplishment and equally great failure: politics, human nature, love, sex, violence, art, luck, greed and philanthropy, poverty and wealth, genius and stupidity, success and failure, and, most of all, Money, the currency of all those things. "Millionaire" is recommended reading for anyone living and investing an industrial economy.

Book Description
Analyses the ways American leaders have justified the use of military tribunals, the suspension of due process, and the elimination of habeas corpus.
Though the war on terrorism is said to have generated unprecedented military situations, arguments for the Patriot Act and military tribunals following 9/11 resemble many historical claims for restricting civil liberties, more often than not in the name of necessity.
Marouf Hasian Jr. examines the major legal cases that show how various generations have represented the need for military tribunals, and how officials historically have applied the term “necessity.” George Washington cited the necessity of martial discipline in executing the British operative Major André. Tribunals tried and convicted more than 200 Sioux warriors during the Dakota Wars. President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus for many civilian and military prisoners during the Civil War. Twentieth Century military and civilian leaders selectively drafted their own codes, leading to the execution of German saboteurs during World War II. Further, General MacArthur’s tribunal to investigate the wartime activities of Japanese General Yamashita raised the specter of “victor’s justice,” anticipating the outcry that attended the Nuremberg trials.
In those cases as in current debates about the prosecution of terrorists, Hasian argues that the past is often cited selectively, neglecting historical contexts and the controversies these cases engendered.
Marouf Hasian Jr. is Professor of Communications at the University of Utah and author of Legal Memories and Amnesias in America’s Rhetorical Culture and Colonial Legacies in Postcolonial Contexts: A Critical Rhetorical Examination of Legal Histories.

For students of law and communications to those interested in military topics........2006-04-28
It's customary in times of war for civil liberties to be overlooked; but what is more surprising is that the need and actions of military tribunals are not questioned more closely during either war OR peacetime. Here to ask these questions is IN THE NAME OF NECESSITY: MILITARY TRIBUNALS AND THE LOSS OF AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES. Marouf Hasian Jr. is a professor of communications: his analysis demonstrates that 'necessity' has often been evoked as justification for injustices, and case studies support his contention as he considers military tribunals from the Revolutionary War to modern times. His will appeal to a wide college-level audience, from students of law and communications to those interested in military topics.
Book Description
For almost sixty years, the results of the New Deal have been an accepted part of political life. Social Security, to take one example, is now seen as every American's birthright. But to validate this revolutionary legislation, Franklin Roosevelt had to fight a ferocious battle against the
opposition of the Supreme Court--which was entrenched in laissez faire orthodoxy. After many lost battles, Roosevelt won his war with the Court, launching a Constitutional revolution that went far beyond anything he envisioned.
In The Supreme Court Reborn, esteemed scholar William E. Leuchtenburg explores the critical episodes of the legal revolution that created the Court we know today. Leuchtenburg deftly protrays the events leading up to Roosevelt's showdown with the Supreme Court. Committed to laissez faire doctrine,
the conservative "Four Horsemen"--Justices Butler, Van Devanter, Sutherland, and McReynolds, aided by the swing vote of Justice Owen Roberts--struck down one regulatory law after another, outraging Roosevelt and much of the Depression-stricken nation. Leuchtenburg demonstrates that Roosevelt thought
he had the backing of the country as he prepared a scheme to undermine the Four Hoursemen. Famous (or infamous) as the "Court-packing plan," this proposal would have allowed the president to add one new justice for every sitting justice over the age of seventy. The plan picked up considerable
momentum in Congress; it was only after a change in the voting of Justice Roberts (called "the switch in time that saved nine") and the death of Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson that it shuddered to a halt. Rosevelt's persistence led to one of his biggest legislative defeats. Despite the
failure of the Court-packing plan, however, the president won his battle with the Supreme Court; one by one, the Four Horsemen left the bench, to be replaced by Roosevelt appointees. Leuchtenburg explores the far-reaching nature of FDR's victory. As a consequence of the Constitutional Revolution
that began in 1937, not only was the New Deal upheld (as precedent after precedent was overturned), but also the Court began a dramatic expansion of Civil liberties that would culminate in the Warren Court. Among the surprises was Senator Hugo Black, who faced widespread opposition for his lack of
qualifications when he was appointed as associate justice; shortly afterward, a reporter revealed that he had been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Despite that background, Black became an articulate spokesman for individual liberty.
William E. Leuchtenburg is one of America's premier historians, a scholar who combines depth of learning with a graceful style. This superbly crafted book sheds new light on the great Constitutional crisis of our century, illuminating the legal and political battles that created today's Supreme
Court.

Book Description
Sign of the Cross is the personal and true story of a prosecutor's struggle to stop a rash of flagrant Ku Klux Klan cross-lighting ceremonies which occured in California during the 1980s. Set against a background of Klan history and growing violence, prosecutor John Phillips relentlessly persists in his attempt to overcome the First Amendment defenses claimed by the Defense.
The book begins with the story of a black teen in Georgia whose uncle is severely beaten following a Klan cross-lighting ceremony near Atlanta. Twenty-five years later he has relocated his family to a middle class neighborhood in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley, but is shocked as he witnesses a Klan cross-lighting ceremony within view of his home. Unlike his uncle, he chooses to fight the Klan in the courtroom rather than the street.
But judges and prosecutors are reluctant to manage a case which they fear may be barred by First Amendment protections. Prosecutor John Phillips is willing, however, for his own reasons. He recognizes that the cross-burning was intended to intimidate minorities and spark violence, and he stakes his career that he can prove this constitutes an unlawful assembly. Above all, he believes the cross is the Christian symbol of Christ's forgiveness and love, and that the cross must not be used as the Klan's symbol of intimidation and hatred.
The prosecutor, author of Sign of the Cross, details his statewide investigation of Klan activity. Informants come forward who warn of a secret Klan brotherhood, whose intent includes execution murder and the overthrow of the federal government. Momentum builds toward the trial.
At one point the case is dismissed as a judge explodes in a tirade at anti-Klan demonstrators who have disrupted his court. Within days, four of the defendants embark upon a series of bank and armored car robberies, execution murder, and gun battles with law enforcement. The charges in the cross-lighting are reinstated two years later and Phillips, who had lost and left the Prosecutor's Office, is given his chance of both personal redemption and social justice. He is hired as Special Prosecutor by the Los Angeles County District Attorney for one last trial.
The story relates intense courtroom drama, before the jury and in the judge's chambers. The prosecutor details his trial strategies, and the testimony of witnesses called by both the prosecution and the defense. They relate the notorious deeds of the present day white supremacist movement as well as the history of the Klan and the significance of the cross-lighting ritual. The reader is ultimately left to decide the balance between freedom of speech and freedom from fear.
Customer Reviews:
Great Legal Drama.......2001-07-12
This is not just a story about a First Amendment battle to keep the klan in check. This is a story about who we are. In so many of the characters, I saw a little piece of myself - sometimes liking what I saw, sometimes not, but always reading on, to see which part of me pulled for which character. It's a great American story.
"Sign of the Cross" was Sensational!.......2000-12-04
It took me a few weeks to read the book, because I've had such a very hectic schedule lately. But, Sign of the Cross is a sensational True-to-Life Drama that kept me anxiously turning each and every page. The book was extremely well-written and I think we need more books like this one, so that people in our society can be aware of what's going on in society (both historically and currently).
I would love to see the book adapted as a screen-play. I think it would make for a sensational film.
A Prosecutor's Inside Story of of His Trial to Stop the Klan.......2000-08-06
If you want true legal drama at its best, with insights into the inner workings of the Klan and the prosecutor who challenged it, this book will fascinate and captivate. First Amendment issues are eloquently presented by both sides. In this case, the Klan's freedom of speech is contrasted with a community's right to be free from fear. But can any one man perservere against an unwilling legal system and the most notorious terrorist groups in America?
A unique, informative, fascinating, source-based history........2000-08-04
John Phillips' Sign Of The Cross provides a prosecutor's true story of a trial against the Klan, and uses police records, courtroom proceedings and testimony in the course of relating Phillips' stormy legal battle against An involving history.
Great Book! Enjoyable and informative.......2000-05-30
Sign of the Cross is a riveting account of hate crime. It takes you deep into the mind of a prosecutor, and into the shadowy world of subversive forces he seeks to bring to justice. Mr. Phillip's book is very well written, and keeps you turning pages continuously. I would love to see a movie based on this book. A must read.

Book Description
In recent years widespread attention has been focused on decisions handed down by the Supreme Court that grapple with passionate issues: integration, school prayer, abortion, affirmative action. The appointment of new justices is a highly charged political event although the Court is supposed to be "above" politics. Amidst the bicentennial celebration of the Constitution and almost daily reports of major confrontations awaiting the highest court's judicial review, John Brigham presents a fresh and innovative examination of the U.S. Supreme Court as the final arbiter of constitutional interpretation.
Drawing on philosophy and anthropology, The Cult of the Court offers a social scientific investigation of an institution whose authority has come to be taken for granted. The author emphasizes that the Court is an institution and that its authority is founded less in the claim of legal expertise than in hierarchical finality—the assertion of political will, not of legal judgment. He shows how the Court has supplanted the Constitution as the authority in our political world and that what makes legal "sense" is affected by these factors of institutionalization, bureaucratization, and court-dominated constitutionalism.
