Rita Hayworth: A Photographic TREASURE!!!.......2002-09-27

Rita Hayworth is one of the most beautiful and glamourous women ever to have lived. Though her life was marked by tragedy, particularly her Alzheimer's affliction and death at a relatively young age. This book, however, is mainly devoted to celebrating Rita's happier times. Her life is viewed chronologically in both popular and rare photographs. There are so many beautiful photos that it is difficult to take in all at once! My favorite pictures (and just a sampling of the pictures you will find in this book) are: Rita (when she was still Margarita) with her dark hair dancing in a beautiful ruffled dress (p.28), glamourous Rita smiling brightly while reclining on a couch (p.87), Rita clowning with Orson Welles (pg. 114), Rita getting her hair touched up (p. 119), Rita tickling her daughter Rebecca (p. 126), Rita walking solitarily on the beach (p. 140), Rita being welcomed home (p. 165), and Rita in 1981, in declining mental health, but still looking every inch a movie star. If you love Rita and her movies, do not hesitate to buy this book!!!

Va-Va-Va VOOM! Hubba-hubba! Wowzer-wowzer! Bong!.......2002-05-18

"Rita Hayworth: A Photographic Retrospective" features a zillion photographs, many never before published, of one of Hollywood's most enduring sexual icons.

The book was a labor of love for author, historian and collector Caren Roberts-Frenzel of Minneapolis, who reportedly kept pestering publishers for years to get their attention.

"But you're wrong, Rita has not been forgotten," was her mantra, as skeptical publishers elsewhere wondered aloud if a market remained for a book about one of the great beauties of the 1940s.

Caren's persistence finally paid off, resulting in one of the most luxurious "picture on every page" books ever produced, supplemented by breezy, well-written and information-packed text.

Unlike "been there, done that" books about Hayworth, this one specializes in numerous "candids," that is, unposed photos taken outside of the studio, at work, at play, on the set, whatever.

For once, here's a volume that doesn't feature the same darn publicity photos you've seen a million times for sale on the Internet or at flea markets.

The deal about Rita is man oh man, unlike sexy sirens named Grable or even Monroe, Hayworth's beauty is timeless and undated. Unless someone told you, you'd never know, for example, that her world famous pinup shot -- taken on the bed by Life Magazine photographer Bob Landry -- was shot more than 60 years ago!

The same holds true for the nearly 300 other photos that grace this book, some recaptured in all of their Technicolor glory.

Get "Rita Hayworth: A Photographic Retrospective," before it disappears! I understand only a few thousand were printed and yet the reviews in the papers and in places like People Magazine have been terrific.

I fell in love with Rita all over again!.......2002-03-19

Caren Roberts-Frenzel is the president of the Rita Hayworth Fan Club and this book is her dream project come to life. Caren's appreciation of every facet of The Love Goddess is evident on every page. It was so good to see someone who knows and cares about Rita create such a labor of love. Caren doesn't whitewash the blemishes in Rita's often tragic life but rather allows them to complete an honest and ultimately loving portrait of this gentle woman.

Like its subject, this book is breathtaking in its beauty. It contains scores of genuinely rare photos and they are a treasure. I own many books on Rita but "A Photographic Retrospective" is easily my favorite.

Beautiful Photo Tribute to Rita Hayworth!.......2002-01-24

I have collected all the books ever written about Rita Hayworth. I have to say that this is the BEST photobook I have seen to date. Who else but a Rita Hayworth fan can put their heart in such a big project and create such a lovely photo tribute to Hollywood's most glamourous movie star of the classic era. Not only is there a collection of rare photographs, but there is lots of interesting information on Rita's life, trivia and more. If you're a fan of Rita Hayworth, then this is the book you must buy! Simply beautifully done!

Excellent photographs balanced with thorough narration.......2002-01-11

When I picked up this book, I excpected it to have a good amount of photos, many of which I had already seen. But, I was hoping for a few I hadn't and a decent narrations. However, this book blew me away. I have purchased photograph-focused books on celebritites before and been disappointed by their flimsy commentary. This book does an excellent job of conecting the photos to Ms. Hayworth's life. It's not just a collection of pictures, it's a pictorial biography. Admittedly, a traditional bio would get into greater detail, but this book is a great intro to her life. Not everyone wants a tell-all book filled with intimate details. This book delivers impeccably reproduced photos and a satisfactory bio. At first I was a little put-off by the price, but I feel it was well worth it, after reading it. A great read for anyone interested in this arrestingly beautiful and glamourous woman.

Book Description

When Barry Meadow decided to take two months off from his everyday life to play blackjack in every Nevada casino, he had no idea what he would find. Leaving behind his business, his fiancee, and his son, he set out on the road with a suitcase, a tape recorder, and $8,000 on the trip of a lifetime.

He ran into cowboys and Indians, suffered the Stardust curse, split 10s in Winnemucca, and learned more about real-world gambling than anyone should have to know.

With wit and wisdom, Meadow takes you on an incredible journey—literally, figuratively, even spiritually—all within the context of a professional blackjack player's remarkable way of life.

Gambling lessons, life's lessons, Nevada geography lessons—this one's got it all. One of the most highly acclaimed gambling books in the past half-decade.

Consummate Card Counter Collects!.......2005-09-26

In "Blackjack Autumn," well-known horse race handicapper, Barry Meadows, recounts his adventures on a tour of Nevada casinos playing Blackjack. This book is a very enjoyable "read," and the author reveals himself as an excellent writer with a great sense of humour. I'd recommend it to anyone... especially someone heading for a casino, but by no means limited to "gambler types."

Blackjack with alot of cliches.......2005-07-05

Blackjack Autumn covered some interesting stories of the ups and downs of blackjack, I play alot of blackjack and know the highs and lows. Barry kind of over kills the cliches though. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy blackjack stories but may not appeal to the casual reader.

Enjoyable.......2002-07-19

This guy is pretty funny. As other's have mentioned, he really overdoes the metaphors, and it gets tiresome. "As (blank) as" is written probably a hundred times in this book. Or, in the writer's parlance, "the author uses this same joke form about as often as guppies ovulate." Or, "the author pulls out this joke form faster than than Pee Wee Herman would go down boxing Mike Tyson." When he's not using those lines though, he can be LOL funny. And of course, for any blackjack player, stories like his are pretty much irresistable. If you have ever fantasized about making money as a card counter, buy it.

A really fun book.......2001-04-03

I loved this book. It isn't the one to read if you want to learn to count cards at blackjack, but really gives a wonderful description of what casinos are like. Barry Meadows isn't Paul Theroux, but he is a lot funnier and sounds like a much nicer guy. Anyone who loves visiting Nevada will love this one. If you haven't visited Nevada, you will want to after you read this book.

I hated the author's sense of humor.......2000-09-30

I was really looking forward to reading this book. However, the author's attempts at making witty jokes throughout the novel really grow old. There's a couple on every page, and they're not good. Even the stories he had to write weren't exactly gripping.

I much prefer the dated "Ken Uston on Blackjack" if you want to read about high-stakes, professional Blackjack play.

Customer Reviews:

Cohesive, comprehensive, practical, and eloquent.......2006-10-12

In his Introduction, Tucker explains that the premise of his book "is that seemingly disparate issues [such as strategy innovation, new product development, and how to solve problems more creatively] must be integrated into a single overarching strategy if they are to be mobilized in the quest for growth. That's why this book summarizes and condenses the key issues of innovation; it is written to enable you and your team to actively move through each chapter and develop a blueprint to redesign your firm's innovation process holistically." Tucker recommends five Principles which assert that innovation is a discipline which must be approached comprehensively; innovation initiatives must include an organized, systematic, and continual search for new opportunities; also, that they must involve everyone in the organization; and finally, all such initiatives must be customer-centered.

Tucker cites statistics from a Corporate Board Strategy of 3,700 U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based companies, each of which generates at least $500-million in revenue annually. Of these, only 3.3 percent showed consistent profitable top- and bottom-line growth, and shareholder returns for the seven-year time period analyzed. Only 21 of the 3700 companies, or less than 1 percent, had sustained their growth over the last 20 years. According to Tucker, each demonstrates what he characterizes as a "Growth Gap" which cannot be closed by transitional means such as increasing marketing and sales, cost-cutting, efficiency-enhancing initiatives, and mergers and acquisitions. Throughout the narrative of his book, Tucker explains why and how innovation is the key driver of growth and profitability. Of even greater value are his recommendations for formulating and then implementing initiatives within three dimensions of innovation: product, process, and strategy. In the final chapter, Tucker poses a series of questions which each reader must answer before "mapping out an innovation initiative." The material which precedes this situation analysis (think of it as a reality gut-check) will guide and inform both the responses to the questions, and more importantly, how to take appropriate and effective action in response to the answers they evoke.

A practical encyclopedia of corporate innovation ideas.......2003-10-10

Leading companies are taking the haphazard innovation process and turning it into a systematic set of processes, practices, and cultural changes. In Robert Tucker's latest book on innovation, he compares the current state of innovation to the position of the total quality movement in 1980. Based on our experience at ManyWorlds, I agree completely with Tucker's views about the need for systematizing innovation and with his assessment of how little of this is being done. Our own work in this area indicates that those who lead in systematizing innovation still have the opportunity to pull far ahead of the slower adopters.

The goal of this book is an ambitious one: To summarize and condense all the key issues of innovation while showing you practically how to implement a systematic innovation process. Tucker does a fine job of meeting this goal, drawing on his study of the Innovation Vanguard companies. He covers a wide terrain, including the cultural factors necessary for innovation, numerous methods for "empowering the idea management process", ensuring that your idea factory keeps running, looking ahead to innovate based on what the future probably holds, and how to develop saleable and innovative products. I'm happy to see that Tucker, unlike too many writers on the subject, recognizes that product innovation is just a start. Process innovation and innovation in business model design are crucial. The issues underlying business model innovation are handled well given the constraints of one chapter.

You'll find plenty of checklists and summaries, including five principles for driving growth through innovation, 11 ways to improve your firm's culture for greater innovation effectiveness, eight idea management models, 10 guidelines for your own idea management system, and more. At the end of the book, Tucker provides a map for going about starting your own innovation initiative. This is practically an encyclopedia of corporate innovation ideas. It would be instructive to follow up this book by comparing the new book on Open Innovation by Chesbrough as well as digging deeper into business model innovation.

A compelling guidebook to systematic innovation.......2003-04-17

Robert Tucker's latest book, Driving Growth Through Innovation, is a powerful blueprint for transforming ad hoc, seat of the pants innovation into systematic innovation that can help to drive growth, profit and competitive advantage in your organization. This is one of the most important, insightful books on innovation that I've read in some time. Using extensive real-world examples from 23 "Innovation Vanguard" companies -- some of the world's most successful and innovative firms -- Tucker informs and inspires as he reveals their best practices and how your firm can adapt them to your needs.

Tucker begins the book by building the business case for systematic innovation: Why is it a survival issue for organizations today? Why do so many corporate leaders agree that innovation is a key strategic issue, yet have great difficulty in actually implementing systematic, pervasive innovation within their companies? What's needed is a systematic and comprehensive strategy for innovation, and that is the focus of this book. Systematic innovation, according to Tucker, is comprehensive, involves all employees, is focused on an organized, systematic and ongoing search for future business opportunities, and is focused on delivering new value to customers.

In Tucker's quest to deconstruct the DNA of systematic innovation, he covers an impressive collection of key strategic innovation issues, including how different corporate leadership styles and cultures can influence an organization's commitment to innovation, or lack thereof; how to identify unmet customer needs and build market-leading new products around them; and techniques for "future scanning" -- "mining" emerging trends in an organized, systematic way to uncover exciting new business opportunities.

Driving Growth Through Innovation is highly practical and inspiring book, a field guide to successfully implementing systematic innovation that should be on every entrepreneur and innovation manager's bookshelf, yet at the same time a compelling manifesto for change in how most companies approach innovation. Tucker does a terrific job of clearly and compellingly explaining the systematic innovation methodologies used by the Innovation Vanguard companies, and provides readers with one valuable insight after another into how to make these principles work for you.

I highly recommend this book!

The Innovation Journey.......2003-01-26

Extending my knowledge in Product Development lead me to read Tucker's book - Just one simple comment - Well written, full of common sense and very practical in the approaches and ideas. Surely inspiring and putting me in a position where I know I have to innovate myself in integrating many of the book ideas and link them with other great Product Development concepts.

Robert Tucker IS Mr. Innovation.......2002-10-16

Robert Tucker speaks with authority; he does not write in empty generalities. He cites facts, figures, case studies and innovation luminaries. He poses questions, provides solutions and presents answers. Finally, he describes six growth strategies. It is obvious he knows his stuff. This scholarly book is fascinating and fun to read.

If you liked the two books by Jim Collins: Built to Last and Good to Great, you will want to read this book.

As a publisher, author of 28 Books, 109 revised editions, six translations and over 500 magazine articles as well as a consultant to the book publishing industry, I rely on books like this. I will refer to this book again and again.

Book Description

Management guru and bestselling business author, Tom Peters, has called Thomas Koulopoulos' writing, "a brilliant vision of where we must take our enterprises to survive and thrive."
Outsourcing is the most popular movement of the new global business economy. In fact, the typical executive will soon spend one-third of his or her budget on outsourcing. But the smart ones will spend it on smartsourcing.
Smartsourcing goes a step further by showing companies how to partner with service providers strategically-to not only cut costs but increase innovation as well. Rather than moving the work to where the least expensive workers are, Smartsourcing shows you how to abandon the status quo-and make outsourcing an opportunity to improve operations across the full spectrum of your business. The first book to be ahead of the curve, Smartsourcing is the hands-on guide every manager needs to capitalize on one of the most important shifts in business today.
Not since the industrial revolution has there been such a dramatic change in how-and where-work is performed. In today's marketplace, a company's products and services must be positioned and sold against global competitors with larger, cheaper, and highly skilled workforces. Organizations today are faced with significant quandaries, including how to:

Cut costs while increasing innovation

Grow the business-and maintain accountability-while moving operations offsite

Increase productivity and efficiency
By embracing the next evolution of outsourcing. Smartsourcing enables an organization to focus on what it does best while the outsourcing partner takes responsibility for innovating change and cost-control in non-core operations. The result is a strategic and synergistic relationship that enables each organization to benefit from the other's expertise and ultimately increase productivity and profitability. Smartsourcing provides a roadmap for navigating today's shifting marketplace, and shows how outsourcing can add value to your business, your products and your customers.

Driving Innovation and Growth Through Outsourcing
Smartsourcing by Thomas M. Koulopoulos and Tom Roloff - is sub-titled 'Driving innovation and Growth through Outsourcing' this goes straight to the point which seems to be an habit of the authors who does not beat around the bush and dive directly into the nuts and bolts of their subject, which makes Smartsoucing a very insightful read.

Like Thomas Friedman, the authors agree that the world is flat, that we are now evolving in a global economy where work flows like water along the path of least resistance, leading jobs to be moved out of the United States and Western Europe and to be reallocated to Asia or whatever other places where wages are more attractive. That is what offshoring and outsourcing are all about, cost reductions. Smartsoursing presents a different approach and is based on the premise that outsourcing for the only intend of cost reductions is highly dangerous and does not yield the return on investment it promised. In the Smartsourcing framework, in order to outsource any organization has to go through a strategic reorganization of itself, to understand what could be, and more importantly what should be outsourced, and of course what is core to the enterprise and therefore should be not only kept in-house, but also invested in.

The point is simple, in order to success on a global scale an organization must focus on what it does the best, and to do so it must shift from the traditional Functional thinking to a Process thinking. Indeed, processes offer visibility, agility and a set of metrics can be used to evaluate their performance and therefore compare them to the industry standard. Doing so, an organization can understand what its strength and weaknesses are. Outsourcing or offshoring non core processes will boost the efficiency of the complete value chain, since the sourcing partner will execute those processes more efficiently because what is non core to an organization should be core to its sourcing partner. Of course this is an high level view, Smartsourcing provides the tools by which organizations can thrive in this new framework, creating value by: keeping the light on for less, creating more innovation for the given dollar, transferring risk between the partners and optimizing risks transference

After a keen analyze of the technical solution available to organizations nowadays, the Authors share their view on that market and the way it will evolve to a new generation of BSPs creating a new generation of smartsourcing hubs orchestrating business components across executable business processes. According to the Authors, the evolution of the software industry will "dwarf the technology industry of the next fifty years" and B2B vendors have a key role to play in that move to a purely efficient market where the transfer cost, that is the cost of "unplugging and plugging back to another ecosystem" would no longer be a measurable impediment.

Once a process has been identified as core to an organization, the rate of the innovation on that given process must increase, allowing it to keep its competitive advantage. And the cash flow to aliment the innovation trend comes directly from the money made out of outsourcing. According to the Authors, for every dollar of work offshored $1.20 to $1.40 is created in additional return and this money should be the venture capital of the innovation economy. Don't underestimate this point, after an agricultural based economy, followed by an industrial age, followed by a service based economy, we are now entering the area of innovation and the "invented in" label will have more value attached to it than the "made in" label. Therefore the innovation process becomes a challenge, and it requires its own set of skills. It is vital for our economy that we learn how to innovate through learning tools such as CPS - Creative Problem Solving for the future begins with the challenges we face today.

Smartsoucing is a hell of a good read and is fascinating because of the insightful, visionary comments of its writers. Thomas M. Koulopoulos, is known for his colon in The Economist, BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal and his broadcasts on CNBC and CNN. He is also the CEO of the Delphi Group. Tom Roloff is a leading business strategist, Vice President and CTO of EMC corporation. Both made a very good work with this wake-up call book offering us a glance at what will be the future of the software industry as well as the way businesses will evolve.

As they wrote :

"We apologize for sounding the fire alarm. But don't confuse the inconvenience of being awoken from a sound sleep with the greater threat posed by the flames at your backside."

An excellent view on outsourcing.......2007-01-27

The book takes a slightly different tack on how outsourcing should be viewed and how companies should use it. The overall effect is a little like that described by Hagel and Seely-Brown in The Only Sustainable Edge, but Tom writes a very readable book covering three key trends, all described cogently and without too much MBA-speak. In particular he does a good job contrasting outsourcing and smartsourcing - there is a focus on differentiation over commoditization and on strategic excellence combined with agility (one of my favorite topics). Anyway, the book outlines three themes:

Movement to external economies of scale
Shift from ownership to strategy
The evolution of the placeless job

The overall approach can best be summarized by one quote from the book where he says that an "organization's intellectual resources are maximized because they are not distracted by nonessential work".

A highly recommended book.

SUPERB!.......2006-11-03

The book exceeded my expectations as I thought it to be the University material I didn't have available during my studies. I would very much like to see it hitting the Greek market as well. Very competent writing and numerous opportunities for creative thinking. A very useful tool for people involved in the process of successful business strategy formulation and implementation.

Outsourcing: The Smart Explanation.......2006-07-13

Outsourcing is a trend that's not going away, at least not as long as companies can save money by hiring other companies to manage some parts of their business, even as they continue to perform their core competencies. This book focuses on the reasons and rules of outsourcing. According to authors Thomas M. Koulopoulos and Tom Roloff, many companies aren't taking the right approach to outsourcing and, therefore, are not realizing its full benefits. The book covers a complex topic and, though it sometimes gets too technical, it will help you take a hard, honest competitive look at your outsourcing strategy, diagnose its gaps and improve the way you outsource. We believe executives and managers should read this book to learn how intelligent outsourcing can help their companies save money, innovate and compete.

Road Map for Companies That Want to Thrive by Doing Outsourcing the Right Way.......2006-06-30

Outsourcing is here to stay, regardless of how employees feel about it since businesses continue to save money as a result. It is, however, evolving into something less threatening to employees as companies discover savings--by using other companies to manage a part of the business that's not considered one of their core processes. Smartsourcing looks at the why and how of this new take on outsourcing -- where all involved benefit and innovate.

The authors state that companies aren't realizing the full benefits of outsourcing, as most simply send a process to another company and leave it at that. Smartsourcing adds innovation to the outsourcing formula as companies consider outsource firms as partners. This leads to the creation of more American jobs, not just the loss of jobs overseas as many fear.

Implementing a smartsourcing strategy takes time, but companies that want to grow and compete need to carefully review their outsourcing strategy, find gaps and outsource the right processes the right way.

One of the most important things to do in planning a smartsourcing strategy is to review a company's existing processes, determining which are core and which are non-core. Companies have been surprised to find out which processes fall under which category. For example, a hospital may think information technology is one of its core processes only to find out it's not, and instead their essential process is patient care.

Some of these concepts can be difficult to grasp, but executives and managers who read Smartsourcing will gain insight on how to intelligently outsource so that they can increase innovation and effectiveness while getting ahead of their competitors.
