The Encyclopedia of Horror Movies: The Complete Film Reference

Customer Reviews:

pros and cons.......2006-06-21

Pros: Lots of info, cool pictures, almost compleatly unknown movies (like Death Line) and huge hits everybody knows about (like Halloween) together. Also, not just PG-13 and R rated movies, some are rated X (like Snuff) and NC-17 (like The Evil Dead)

Cons: veary heavy and big-hard to carry around, out dated- only goes up to 1986, no table of contents.

Warning: This book describes movies with killing in graphic detail. The pictures contain nudity and gore.

Over all: Not bad, lots of info, very graphic an ok buy.

The ultimate Horror-fim encyclopedia.......1998-10-11

Phil Hardy's excellent endevour to catalogue the films of, primarely, Hollywood reaches it's peak with the Horror and Science Fiction books. They both reveal a genuine interest in the media and, as an information non-digital database, these two items are the ultimate choice for collectors and horror/SF aficionados. Where Leonard Maltin says goodbye, Phil Hardy says hello. These items can be used either as a coffeetable companion, or as an encyclopedia for the serious movie-fan. There are some european films that deserves mentioning that have been omitted, but in view of the overall care in which way theese books have been presented, the omissions are readily excused.

One of the all time great film books.......2002-06-15

This is seriously the best book on movies I've ever read. With a few exceptions--"White Zombie," "Murder by Television"--these films are totally unknown. Until now.

Every movie in here was put out by the lesser-known studios--Monogram,Mascot,Chesterfield,ect. The book covers a wide range of sub-genres, from jungle exploitation films to action serials to sinister westerns, so long as there are vague horror elements.

The authors have done a great service, and their writing style is very eloquent. By all means purchase this and seek out some of these films.

Excellent overview of some forgotten films.......2000-07-02

If you love obscure ,low budget movies,this is the book for you.It's obvious that the authors have a great deal of affection for these movies.My only complaint is they include a few too many movies that aren't really horror in my opinion-westerns with some spooky touches,etc.All in all,though,this is an excellent book.

Great set of mini-adventures for the Dragonlance Saga.......2000-04-30

The DL series was a huge leap forward for TSR - these modules featured a new emphasis on drama and storytelling that made the gaming MUCH more fun and involved for the PCs and the DM. Of course, at heart, being TSR modules from the 80s, they're still dungeon crawls! In this chapter (the final module!), all of the loose ends are finally tied up - we learn what happened to Kitiara, and most importantly, is revealed Dargaard Keep - the lair of Lord Soth himself!

packed full of information.......2000-04-01

This book is great for players of AD&D and fans of the dragonlance novels alike. It contains lots of info on the dragonlance world that is useful and interesting at the same time. My only regret is that it was not more in depth, but other products have made up for its lacking...a definite must have core for those books, though.

Book Description

Leading Minds and Landmark Ideas In An Easily Accessible Format

From the preeminent thinkers whose work has defined an entire field to the rising stars who will redefine the way we think about business, The Harvard Business Review Paperback Series delivers the fundamental information today's professionals need to stay competitive in a fast-moving world.

The works collected in Harvard Business Review on Measuring Corporate Performance--including the three groundbreaking articles on the balanced scorecard by Kaplan and Norton--offer managers practical guidance for measuring their intangible assets (customer relationships, internal business processes, and employee learning) and aligning corporate strategy accordingly. A Harvard Business Review Paperback.

Customer Reviews:

Why so few reviews???.......2004-08-26

This is one in a series of several dozen volumes which comprise the "Harvard Business Review Paperback Series." Each offers direct, convenient, and inexpensive access to the best thinking on the given subject in articles originally published by the Harvard Business Review. I strongly recommend all of the volumes in the series. The individual titles are listed at this Web site: www.hbsp.harvard.edu. The authors of various articles are among the world's most highly regarded experts on the given subject. All of the volumes have been carefully edited. An Executive Summary introduces each selection. Supplementary commentaries are also provided in most of the volumes, as is an "About the Contributors" section which usually includes suggestions of other sources which some readers may wish to explore.

Truer now than ever before, "you can't manage what you can't measure." However, four questions must first be answered:

1. What do I need to know?
2. Why do I need to know it?
3. How can I verify what I think I have learned?
4. How will I then use what I have learned?

What we have in this volume are eight articles, several of which later developed into best-selling business books. For example, Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton co-authored three of articles in this volume in which they introduce the concept of the balanced scorecard, suggest "measures that drive performance, explain how to put the balanced scoreboard to work, and then how to use it as a strategic management system. They then co-authored several books in which they developed these and other core concepts in much greater depth. My personal favorite is The Strategy-Focused Organization.

The lead article by Peter F. Drucker ("The Information Executives Truly Need to Know") was originally published in the Harvard Business Review (January-February 1995, Reprint 95104). True, many of Drucker's ideas have since been recycled in several of his books but so what? I found so much in this article to highlight with my trusty optic yellow Accent pen that I eventually needed two of them. Drucker focuses on the tools executives require to generate the information they need....and the concepts underlying those tools. "The new tools enable us -- indeed may force us -- to see our businesses differently" as "generators of resources, as links in an economic chain, as society's organs for the creation of wealth, and as both creatures and creators of a material environment." Great stuff.

The titles of the other articles give you some idea of what their authors have to say about measuring corporate performance: Robert G. Eccles' "The Corporate Manifesto," Joseph A. Ness and Thomas G. Cucuzza's "Tapping the Full Potential of ABC" (i.e. activity-based management), Robert Simons and Antonio Dávila's "How High Is Your Return on Management?," and Christopher Myers' "How the Right Measures Help Teams Excel." The volume concludes with the three Kaplan-Norton articles.

As is each of the others in the HBR series, this volume is essentially a primer on cutting-edge thinking about an especially important business subject. Yes, much of the material is generic. No, it doesn't offer a cohesive, comprehensive, and cost-effective system for corporate performance measurement. But I presume to suggest that any one of the eight articles (all by itself) is worth far more than the cost of this book. Obviously, I highly recommend it. In fact, I think every decision-maker should read all of the volumes in the HBR series and then re-visit relevant portions in them (previously highlighted, of course) on an as-needed basis.

Good compilation of articles - but repeat information.......2002-08-26

If you have read The Essential Drucker, Balanced scorecard etc. , the book essentially has the same information repeated under a different title. Recommend Essential Drucker, Balanced Score card which is more comprehensive than this title.

The ABC's of Balancing Your Scorecard..........2001-02-12

This collection of eight articles from the HBR is a must IF AND ONLY IF you want the only highlights of some of the new management tools and theories out there. If you've ever wondered what Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is or what Kaplan's "Balanced Scorecard" is all about, this may be just the introductory text for you. I mention these two tools first since 2 out of 8 articles deal with ABC, either in whole or in part, while another 3 deal specifically with the balanced scorecard. So, if you've got ABC and the balanced scorecard already firmly laid out in your head, this may be a bit redundant.

The remaining three articles are still worth a quick read though. I found in one article, "How the Right Measures Help Teams Excel," ideas that I hadn't seen anywhere else (for example, the team "dashboard"). And, the "How High is Your Return on Management?" article might give managers a moment of reflection on whether or not they have a good ROM and what they can do to improve it.

As I stated before, much of this is merely highlights though. Do not expect to be able to use this book as a primary source to implement any of the measures. It's a tease that gets you excited (at least it did me), but doesn't provide much of a game plan for bringing it all about.

Still, if what you want is a quick overview and a few case studies where these principles and tools have been applied, by all means, read this. It's worth at least that much.

THIS BOOK MEASURES UP TO THE BEST ON THIS SUBJECT........1999-04-05

Looking for some informative, original and clear thinking about measuring performance? This book is a great choice! This is a collection of eight outstanding articles selected from past editions of the HBR. The articles cover such subjects as activity-based costing, the use of nonfinancial criteria, and tools executives require to generate the information needed. Each article begins with an executive summary which, for the fast-forward crowd, is a big plus.

So many books are merely ONE GOOD ARTICLE embedded in a thicket of verbiage. Chopping away through such a jungle of verbosity for the gist-of-it-all often proves tedious and disappointing. (Blessed are the laconic!) This book, on the other hand, just serves up a bunch of 'gists' -the pure meat and potatoes of ideas. Happily, the HBSP has published several other collections of this sort on such topics as knowledge management, change, and strategies for growth. Each of these is collection of first-rate 'gists'. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founder, Stern & Associates, author of Stern's Sourcefinder The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and the Compensation and Benefits SourceFinder.

very useful book.......1998-11-17

This is a vey useful books as a reprints of HBR and catagorized on the corporate reviews of companies, with big part on the famous balanced scoeboard, and a nice section on team performance. But this is not suiatble for small companies review system which i m looking for. If what you r looking for is a way of seeing hhow company performs and you r in big corporation, this is an exellent books as other HBR reprints books that now availabe at many formats... definitely 5 stars.
