Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
by Jim Collins
$16.50
A few years ago, the company I was with purchased copies of Good to Great for managers. I was blown away by the information the book contained. The book went against my thinking at the time. In quick order, I changed my mind-set about several topics and found my `new ways' were more productive to my employer and my career.

Fundamentals of Corporate Finance Standard Edition
by Stephen A. Ross, Randolph W Westerfield, Bradford D Jordan
$127.33
This text is for intermediate level business and finance students, and is very informative and well written. I read it two times with great pleasure. It is not boring, even for those outside the field (I must admit I did not work the problems though!). I highly recommend it.
Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Your...
by Melody Beattie
$10.85
This book is a sanity saver. There are some inspirational things to take away from reading it. Beattie injects her own life story into this self-help book. Coupled with her other books, it makes for reflective and well written advice.
Fast Food Nation
by Eric Schlosser
$10.17
In Eric Schlosser's first devastating book on the malpractices of the fast food industry, he pieces together history, facts, and numerous sources to reveal some disturbing truths about their nature.
Fast Food Nation is less an expose` on how unhealthy junk food is than a look into the operations of the food industry, specifically McDo...
Financial Management: Theory & Practice (with Thomson ONE - Business School E...
by Eugene F. Brigham, Michael C. Ehrhardt
$133.02
I was tortured by ridiculously hard exams and a calculator that made we want to tear my hair out. But it wasn't the book's fault. I am going to school while I work so I don't have a lot of time to devote to a class. The book was well paced and not to wordy. It stressed reading comprehension and had many levels of financial problems for every type o...
Fundamentals of Financial Management, Concise Edition (with Thomson ONE - Bus...
by Eugene F. Brigham, Joel F. Houston
$98.37
I used this book for Corporate Finance class. It is concise, not boring (at least for me), explains everything in a clear, straightforward manner. The problems at the end of each chapter are definitely helpful not just for exam preparation, but also for a better understanding of overall subject matter.
Essentials of Corporate Finance
by Stephen A. Ross, Randolph W Westerfield, Bradford D Jordan
$96.84
I have to agree with many of the other reviewers on this book; I did not find the book to be well written or easy to understand. Maybe if I had had some financial management courses prior to this one I would have been able to see through some of the gaps in the explainations and examples.
Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great
by Jim Collins
$9.56
We used the Monograph as a precursor to our strategic planning process. It was very helpful in generating a shared vocabulary for the planning process. As a companion for non-profits to the book "Good to Great," it is easy to grasp and answers many questions left open in the book. It is even a good stand-alone read for non-profit leaders, although ...

by Eugene F. Brigham, Joel F. Houston
$133.71
Some things were explained in the book fairly well, however it is too wordy. Once again these textbooks do a bang-up job of taking your money and confusing the hell out of you. This is why people are afraid to take classes like Corporate Finance or even pursue a degree in related fields.
This book is written many levels above the stu...
Intermediate Financial Management (with Thomson One)
by Eugene F. Brigham, Phillip R. Daves
$162.36
This book is a P.O.S. The explanations are poor and confusing, results of calculations are used with no reference to the formulas (which are discussed many chapters later), I frequently find myself referring to other works for clarity, even on subjects I know well. Profs use this piece of trash because they are too lazy to make the migration to a...
