Corporate Power in Civil Society: An Application of Societal Constitutionalism
Published in Paperback by New York University Press (January, 2001)
Author: David Sciulli
Average review score:

In the Face of Law and Economics
Finally, a positive accounting of corporate law "tradition" as aggressive as the criticisms by Easterbrook and Fischel, Romano and Roe. This is probably the best book on corporate law for interested outsiders, and it certainly puts corporate law in broader social context than "progressive" or stakeholder-centered approaches. By showing specifically when, where and how corporate law bears on society, the author pinpoints why law and economics is partial at best. More than even Eisenberg or Brudney, he demonstrates in clear, positive terms why certain court-enforced fiduciary duties remain important whereas others can safely be replaced with contracts or laissez-faire. And the book proceeds sans legalese. One heads up, however: though ideal for non-lawyers (and essential for academics), this book is hardly a casual, shore-side read. (The same goes for the author's earlier book on corporations. His chapter there on equity law is one of the best brief discussions I have seen of this important legal tradition).

An Accessible Approach
Sciulli uncovers basic legal principles in the ongoing effort to monitor corporate governance. In its sophistication, this book reminded me of Habermas' Between Fact and Norms and Bourdieu's Pascallian Meditations, but Sciulli's book is more accessible. It revolves around concrete cases that nonspecialists can follow. In fact, I wonder whether his approach to law and corporations begins to establish his social theory as a rival to Habermas and Bourdieu more generally. Plus, it's about time some social theorist engaged the law and economics crowd on their own turf.


Corporate Power, American Democracy, and the Automobile Industry
Published in Hardcover by Cambridge University Press (December, 1999)
Author: Stan Luger
Average review score:

Provoking and witty!
If you've raised an eyebrow at the recent Bridgestone/Firestone/Ford scandal, get ready to raise two-you may need to borrow a few more-when you read this book. In Corporate Power, American Democracy, and the Automobile Industry, Stan Luger provides an intriguing historical context (think shady past) for the auto industry's latest disregard of public safety and consumer protection. If you think tire failures and SUV rollovers are bad, dig deeper-this is just icing. Luger gives you the cake-the misdeeds of corporate greed run thick through America's car industry. This book recounts forty years of the automobile industry's use (and misuse) of corporate power and reveals how this power has influenced public policy, politics, and our everyday car culture. From public safety to environmental protection, Luger illustrates how the automobile industry has flexed its muscles in the political arena to, guess what, maximize profit at our expense. Luger tracks the car industry's patterns of power and shows us that the market isn't just about supply and demand-it's about influence, decisions of the elite, and a disregard for the democratic process.

Luger shows how, time and again, the automobile industry has shirked responsibility for the negative impact of its products and held regulations at bay. For example, Luger explains how "blaming the drive" is a well-worn response of the auto industry. Recently, Bridgestone/Firestone tried to argue that its tires aren't faulty-SUV drives are at fault for improper tire inflation. Luger gives us the historical pattern for this position: from the late 1930s up until the early 1960s, the auto industry repeatedly argued that the cause of automobile accidents lay with the driver. It argued that increased driver education and responsibility would eliminate most accidents and pushed for programs and legislation that funded drivers' education and stiffened enforcement of traffic violations. Of course, Ralph Nader proved in the mid-1960s that the driver wasn't to blame, and that the car-unsafe at any speed-was. Which brings us to Luger's important point: social movements, such as Nader's consumer rights campaigns, are key to meeting capital's flagrant abuses head-on. Whether it's the labor movement or the environmental movement, organized response can challenge corporate power.

But don't just read this book for its hard-hitting analysis; it's also a witty narrative with juicy asides about the sleazier side of the automobile industry. You'll die laughing when you come across the story about the most expensive executive midnight snack in history (don't read it while driving!).

Thorough, Smart & Sassy
Corporate Power, American Democracy and the Automobile Industry is a must read for anyone who wants to go deeper than "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" into the automania that is America. Thoroughly researched, politically savvy, and sharply critical of corporate control of our democracy, this book fits oh so well with all election year reading material. Makes you want to dump that SUV and jump on the bus!


The Cosmic Power Within You
Published in Hardcover by Fine Communications (July, 1997)
Author: Joseph, Ph.D. Murphy
Average review score:

Nobody says it better!
Joseph Murphy has written so many classical books and this is no exception. This book is well written and so easy to understand that anybody can benefit from the wonderful life-changing messages it contains. He details many case histories that show how we create our own problems ala cause and affect and how we can solve our problems when we seek the answers. His affirmations and prayers are simple to learn and easy to remember. He references the bible and explains where this information came from originally. Doctor Murphy comes across as a wise and concerned parent and a saint as he delivers the cosmic truth God has made available to all of his children.

USING THE FORCE
This book was clearly designed to reveal in a simple, down-to-earth manner and in everyday language how to lead a fuller, richer and more glorious life. The techniques and programs discussed enable one to use the mental and spritual laws based on right thinking. Chapters deal with inter alia, guidance, problem-solving, healing, success, faith, conquering obstacles, overcoming worry and how to be serene in a changing world. Many affirmations and meditations are provided, and there's a helpful summary of the main points at the end of each chapter. Dr Murphy is one of my favourite authors and this book is full of practical wisdom and inspiration. I would also like to recommend his great classic The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind to everybody - it is a very powerful work that has improved the lives of so many people.


A Country Made by War: From the Revolution to Vietnam-The Story Ao America's Rise to Power
Published in Hardcover by Random House (May, 1989)
Authors: Geoffrey Perret and Robert D. Loomis
Average review score:

If I had to have only one book on this topic this is it!
Complete timeline and strories from beginning to SE Asia. The author's style of interjecting his own fact-based impressions really help lighten up what could be an otherwise long winded topic. I have read several books on US military history, but none as thorough and cross-service as this. Most just covering one conflict or one branch of service. This has it all. A MUST FOR ALL MILITARY HISTORY BUFFS!

Best book on American Military History available
This is the ONE book you should read if you are interested in American History. Perret links society and culture to an exposition of the American military experience, showing how both are intertwined, and how each affects the course of the other


Creating a Climate for Power Learning: 37 Mind-Stretching Activities
Published in Paperback by Whole Person Associates (August, 1997)
Author: Carolyn Chambers Clark
Average review score:

Should be a great resource for educators in many settings.
DR. Clark's book helped me rethink my approach to a number of content areas allowing me to clarify a better way to convey concepts and to increase student readiness to learn. One beauty of the book is its variety. There are so many different types of ideas and activities. They help the educator stretch, get out of a rut and combat educator burnout.

This is a great book for any educator or trainer.
I have been in Carolyn's workshops and CREATING A CLIMATE FOR POWER LEARNING has some of her best exercises in it. If you want to lighten up a learning group, this is the book for you.


Creating Harmonious Relationships: A Practical Guide to the Power of True Empathy
Published in Paperback by Atlantic Books (01 February, 2000)
Author: Andrew LeCompte
Average review score:

A spiritual approach to relationships
Andrew LeCompte has written an extremely valuable guide to improving relationships through increased empathy. Well written, well organized and clear, it has the premise that we are spiritual beings who have been programmed to be judgmental. He shows us how to overcome judgmentalism, search for our own and others' feelings and hopes, communicate them and let go of anger and resentment. There are exercises in the book that aid in increasing self awareness and improving our communication with others.

Wow!
I picked up this work walking along a table in a nationally known book chain. A plain looking cover, so unlike all the plethora of self-help books out there with a figure plastered on the front. The content is also different. Unlike books that proclaim "The Ten Best Ways to..." or "The Ten Stupid Things that...", this book offer practical and real help! In this incredible tome, LeCompte pulls together 25 years of study and research into why we behave the way we do, and what we can do about it. His premise is much of our daily actions and reactions are a result of our unconscious, based on our often inaccurate judgments of the event. He manages to cover the work of Freud, and the latest research in unconscious programing in a simple, easy to understand, and practical way! Don't be fooled by the books title; I found this book helped ME out so much personally, and how I began to deal with the complexities in the relationships around me. I am a better person for this work, and you will be as well.


The Dark Side of Nowhere
Published in Paperback by EMC Paradigm (June, 1977)
Author: Genevieve S. Gray
Average review score:

LOVE IT!
The dark side of nowhere My first thoughts on this story is wow! What a great story. The author Neil Sherman leads us into a story which a very powerful ending. The begining is slow in pace, almost not really understanding of what your getting into. But as it leads its way to the climax it gripes you in a way where you don't want to put it down. Not even to eat. The characters like Jason, his dad and mom,Wesley and Paula and the others you feel for them and Giant you don't really know what he is really up to.The town of Billington seems like any ordinary small town you would find in any state. The story ends on a cliff hanging, when he goes to the capital to tell everyone who he is, it could continue as a recommended book. I really think the author should write another one. It really deserves five stars.

This thriller is so deep and desciptive that I couldn't stop
The book The Dark Side of Nowhere was my favorite book I have ever read, no really, I mean it! This spacey book makes people think more than twice about the future. Like; could this really happen or did it? I can't wait to reread this great book! I wosh he would make a sequal but usually seqoals aren't as good as the first one. I could really relate to the character, and the writing!
