Meditations for Cats Who Do Too Much.......1999-12-16
Meditations is a book that I always keep within paw's reach. We cats need self-help, too considering we are so prone to being workaholics. We face alot of pressures as we're on the job constantly, having little time to ourselves to address our "inner kitten issues". Thank goodness for this book and the 9-Life Recovery Program. Truly lifesavers for the cats of the millennium.
Product Description

Also includes separate sections on the work of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, and Steve Hackett.

Did He Actually LISTEN To The Songs?.......2007-06-16
I ordered this book from amazon.uk (I was there pre-ordering the new book about Genesis slated for a Sept. release). I thought, "Sure, why not?" when this was shown to me. Well, I can say this for Mr. Welch; he certainly has opinions. Some of them seem to be rather ill-informed, however. I have to wonder if Welch actually listened to some of the songs he "reviews." For example, he seems not to know that "Scenes From A Night's Dream" was based on Windsor McCay's Little Nemo character (his attempt at humor with a 20,000 leagues pun is horrid!). He also appears unable to discern what some other songs are about. He complains about "No Son Of Mine" that "...the true nature of his (the son's) crime is not explained..." I've got to wonder how thick he is to not get the domestic violence theme of the song. He also seems not to understand that "Home By The Sea" is about a haunted house.
I disagree with many of his demi-reviews, sometime mildly, sometimes vehemently. But I did learn a few new things from this book. I found out more about the band's early years and that first album which gave them their name. I'd recommend it for the thorough discography and history. But please don't judge any of Genesis' songs from this book. Listen for yourself and see if you don't agree... or disagree.
Consumed Lamb.......2003-08-08
It's a challenge to take The Complete Guide To The Music Of Genesis seriously after reading Chris Welch's review of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. His assessment of the early albums is astute, but one can only assume he needs to give The Lamb some more listening time. (Of course, serious fans of Genesis always knew it was not an obvious record, and that it required repeated headphone application.)
Granted, there are unwieldy instrumental sections, and the story is a bit of a dud. But we never really bought progressive rock albums for the lyrics, did we? (In fact, if we'd wanted words, we'd surely have bought Penguin editions of William Blake?) No, we wanted to listen to music, and music that was arguably more interesting than anything else available at the time or, in many cases, since.
However, to suggest that Phil Collins might have been "...falling asleep over his kit" on Hairless Heart, or that Tony Banks might have been making "... the best of a bad job" on Anyway, is simply short-sighted. Indeed, when Welch suggests that the punk movement was accelerated by such albums, one might, in turn, also observe that it was the punk movement which was influenced by such albums. Killing Joke or The Clash would have surely embraced Back In NYC with its manic insistence and demonic charge?
Furthermore, even though The Lamb addresses a city theme in its story, the album still overflows with much the pastoral beauty and atmosphere with which we had come to associate Genesis. These qualities became virtually extinct in later albums and had all but disappeared by the time of Invisible Touch, an album Welch seems to think came "closest" to being the band's "ultimate" opus.
Finally, to point out two small factual errors, it is clear on the album notes for Seconds Out that Phil Collins is not playing keyboards on Robbery, Assault and Battery and Cinema Show, but that he is playing drums during the respective keyboard solos.
A track-by-track record of any great band's complete works is always welcome and, for this fact alone, praise must go to the publishers. However, there will be many a Genesis fan for whom this book will represent misplaced criticism of some of the band's greatest work.
A bit slight.......2002-01-05
This Guide is slighter than you'd expect with regard to the kind of detail that Genesis fans would really love. Good but not great.
Entertaining, but..........2001-12-14
Chris Welch is a very good writer, and I enjoyed his little pamphlet (for that is really all this is) on Genesis. When I first read this, I had no clue about his history with Melody Maker and so forth, I was just trying to learn about the band. He writes descriptions and short critiques of every song and every album they did up until "We Can't Dance" and pretty much every solo effort to that point (mid-1990's). I would only truly recommend this book to someone who values Welch's opinion on this sort of thing. Hardcore Genesis fans like myself would find it rather hard to swallow that he thinks "The Lamb" is a complete and utter waste of time, and that "Invisible Touch" is the ultimate Genesis album. Still, if you're a Genesis neophyte, and wish to know a general description of the style and contents of each album, this helps. Probably just as informative to read amazon.com reviews of each album!
THE Chris Welch?.......2001-05-01
After spending many hours in the library during the late 70s and early 80s reading concert reviews and interviews with various members of Genesis in imported copies of Melody Maker - most of them penned by Chris Welch, I found this booklet to be disappointing in that it is far from complete and (based on other readings) sometimes inaccurate. It would be my hope that some day Chris would write a real book about Genesis, similar to his book about Yes, full of anecdotes about their touring days, insites into more of the songs - the stuff Gallo didn't have the space for.
Book Description
More renowned for his outrageous outbursts than anything he put on a page, Charles Bukowski is one of America's most misunderstood and under-appreciated writers. Charting his vexed re-lationships with women, employers, friends, colleagues and the tender mercies of the demon drink, The Hunchback of East Hollywood is the first book to study the writer's life and work in equal measure, focusing on the manner in which one impacted on the other. The Hunchback of East Hollywood gets inside the real Bukowski to deliver a full frontal assault on the publishing industry, and the most unlikely literary career in history. Also analyzes other works written about Bukowski over the years, up to and including Jean-Francois Duval's Bukowski and the Beats.
Customer Reviews:
New Bukowski Bio Poetry Itself.......2006-10-22
I've read the big bio and it was very good. Cherkovski really liked Buk and Malone does too. His new bio, while it has very little new in it as far as facts are concerned, has Malone and that's new! There are some passages near the end that rival Bukowski himself. Malone is a fine prose poet.
The one thing that bothers me about all the material by and about Bukowski, and that includes this book, is that they don't show the normal every day relationship between Buk and his parents, between Buk and his girls, between Buk and his friends. You can't be used and abused all the time. People go crazy but they don't stay there. One time Mr. Bukowski put his son into a special class. And one must always remember that the very existence of children are a reminder of their parents mortality and that can drive anyone a little over the edge.
If you are interested in Bukowski read this book.
Off the mark.......2004-04-10
With the essential parts of Bukowskis biography covered (first & best) by the man himself, then by Cherkovski and Sounes, there seems little of note left to write of. Well, that's what this surely is...little of note.
This is a "me too!" kind of book with plenty of Malones own personality coming through and no new information. Not what I look for in a biography, especially when some basic details are either skimmed over or completely left out.
As mentioned, the Sounes book is comprehensive and engaging, with the Cherkovski serving some purpose. Even Richmond, Winans and Long had something new to say and found interesting ways in which to say them, although their books don't pretend to be comprehensive biographies.
I've read them all and will continue to read whatever I can on this writer. It's just a shame so much of it is dross.
If you are looking for a great book on Bukowski see Brewers bio/crit. It covers (well) the most essential thing about Bukowski...his written words. Most of the rest is just fluff.
picking buk's bones.......2004-03-26
Another guy who didn't know Bukowski trying to make a quick buck off his corpse. Too bad. A waste of money. Read Bukowski instead. Also, the print is so small you'll need a magnifying glass. Thumbs down. This is the worst of the lot.
interesting info, poorly written.......2004-01-20
Has a wealth of information on the man behind the myth, but unfortunately the author chose to use far too many similies and metaphors to hammer home certain ideas. Other bios are a better bet. I found myself skimming and skipping through the book as I couldn't stand some of the writing...
anti-climactic.......2003-08-02
not that it's poorly written, it's just that there is nothing new about Buk here and other tomes by Howard Sounes and Daniel Weizman make for more interesting reading. It seems Aubrey Malone read all of Buk's books and decided to write about the great writer...no crime there, to be sure, but it does not make for interesting reading at all. A.D. Wynans (a former postal worker himself, as Buk was) actually knew Bukowski & I wonder if his take on the mad boozer of East Hollywood might have more punch.

Equalized and Synchronized Production
The High-Mix Manufacturing System that Moves Beyond JIT
Toshiki Naruse
Just-in-Time happens at a different time for each of your customers. The difficult and costly task of meeting the individual production requirements for each customer could threaten your survival. In response to this Toshiki Naruse developed a new system called Equalized and Synchronized Production (ESP).
ESP is a production management and manufacturing improvement system targeted for supplier companies or any company that deals with a variety of products as well as multiple customers. ESP enables suppliers to meet the requirements of their buyers' Just-In-Time (JIT) ordering systems through wide-variety, small-lot production, while also making their own production activities as efficient as possible.
ESP complements each company's own production management functions, particularly the production scheduling and purchasing functions, in the way that best suits each individual business. By adopting ESP your company will be able to meet its customers needs Just-in-Time while growing into a powerful new organization operating according to its own production system.
Features of Equalized and Synchronized Production include:
· Coverage of the complete production scheduling and management system for supplier organizations.
· Case studies featuring ESP implementation by a variety of manufacturers
· Guidance on when and where the ESP system is more effective than JIT
· Comprehensive and practical "how-to" guidance on ESP implementation
