| Article Title :: The Cobra Event (want to lose some sleep tonight?); Book Review |
| |
| The Cobra Event by Richard Preston is a worthwhile book to read indeed, but it will scare the be-Jesus out of you also. This is quite a heavy book to read and if you are an intellectual type of person, then it should frighten you.Having also read the book; Germs and many other similar books and having kept up to date on recent scientific findings, I realize how serious and realistic this book is. Biological human distributed pathogens are real and we must indeed make sure we keep these biological scientists who consider using these things on mass population bases at bay and prevent them from ruining life on Earth as we know it. The United States of America may indeed have a missil (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Future Perfect; Book Review |
| |
| Jon Michlethwait did an excellent job of writing the Future Perfect; The Hidden Challenge and Hidden Promise of Globalization. This book was good for many reasons and as a futurist myself I was excited to read it and look at the world from his perspective and then stated; Our destiny has been detected, the journey always suspected.The book was co-authored and both authors are economists, which would lead you to believe the book might be a little dry and boring, but both authors are indeed able to be quite witty at times; even though one might assume that their profession makes that difficult. It is very convincing book, although not all predictions can be a perfect crystal ball; th (read full article) |

The Ends Justify the Meanness; Stanley Bings, sheds some light on the subject using comical comments to show it correlation to business and indeed there are many interesting correlations.Business in many ways is like war and the internal ladder climbing of Primate Politics in modern day corporations somewhat resembles The Prince. The Satire used in the book is funny and serious; Bing did an awesome on this book. The book is very much worth reading and very interesting as well. Some people may not be able to handle what is in the book but the way I see it i (read full article) |

| One of the most fun business books I have ever read is; Blown to Bits: How the New Economy of Information Transforms Strategy by Philip Evans and I suggest if you want to better understand innovation, barriers to entry and disruptive technologies that you buy this book and read it over thoroughly.I always had consider this one of the classics during the 1990’s and it was one of those books that well, let us just say I really did not want my competitors to read or have knowledge of. At the time the book came out our company was one of those fast movers challenging the status quo and we rocked their boat.
