BREAK OUT OF THE BOX: A NEW LEADERSHIP MODEL FOR HIGH PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT
Vance, Mike
1996 13414 From the Publisher Break out of your unproductive, stagnant environment and revive your organization with Break Out of the Box. Authors of the successful Think Out of the Box, which has already sold 32,000 copies since its publication late last fall, Diane Deacon and Mike Vance present a new leadership paradigm that explores qualities and practices necessary to really make it big in an age of exploding technology and information. From The Critics Publishers Weekly A sequel to the authors' Think Out of the Box, this self-help volume aims to teach strategies for "successful creative thinking that causes breakthroughs." Respectively president of the Creative Thinking Association of America and an executive with the Disney organization, Deacon and Vance offer 10 strategies for liberating creative forces, principally for business executives. The general thrust concerns the establishment of a participatory environment that fosters mutual respect and creativity. This approach is in tune with much contemporary management theory, most of which, as one analyst quoted here sees it, urges the executive to be primarily a coordinator who excels in committee settings. Each chapter details one strategy and is followed by profiles of individuals whose careers illustrate that principle, including Walt and Roy Disney, golfer Jack Nicklaus, hotel-chain founder J. Willard Marriott and Louis Lundborg, former board chairman of the Bank of America. Although their paradigm is derivative, the authors explain it carefully and clearly. (Mar.) Library Journal Vance and Deacon (Think Out of the Box, Career, 1995) have written an inspiring book on corporate philosophy. They profile here ten "break-out" thinkers, including corporate officers, ministers, missionaries, psychiatrists, and teachers. Some of the breakthrough techniques they describe are how to translate values into goals, how to achieve maximum use of resources, creating an environment where employees want to participate, and cultivating mutual respect. The authors' seven keys to mastery are prayer, faith, love, acceptance, forgiveness, healing, and total commitment. This is unusual stuff to find in a book about business and potentially an exciting, new direction for corporations. The authors also recommend Peter Drucker's The Effective Executive (HarperBusiness, 1993) and Abraham Maslow's Motivation and Personality (HarperCollins, 1987). Although it is difficult to follow which author is writing in the first several chapters because the point of view shifts back and forth, the work is still recommended for all libraries.-Peggy D.

Kommos III. The Late Bronze Age Pottery
Watrous, Livingstone Vance
1992 10018091 Continuing the documentation of the excavation at the Minoan and Greek seaside town of Kommos in Crete, Volume III of this series focuses on the Minoan and imported pottery from the Late Bronze Age. Not only does this work offer the most thorough presentation of stratified Late Minoan pottery of any site on Crete, it also exhibits the widest range of imported pottery of any excavated site in the Aegean. Imported from other regions of Crete, the Aegean islands, the Greek Mainland, Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Sardinia, this pottery reveals new international trade connections around the Mediterranean during the seventeenth through the thirteenth centuries B.C. The volume begins with a presentation of the stratified ceramic deposits, then discusses the Late Minoan stylistic sequence at Kommos, comparing it to that at Knossos and other centers. Finally the book documents the imported Late Bronze pottery at the site and discusses Eastern Mediterranean trade during the period in light of this new evidence. Beautiful RED cloth cover, with gold writing. Small area w/tear on bottom and right side of cover. Inside pages in pristine condition, clean unmarked. Store #1 stamp on top of outside pages. Fifty Eight plates with hundreds of pieces of numbered pottery that are described within the pages of this unique book. Listed at MAJOR booksellers at One Hundred and Fifty Two Dollars. OUT OF PRINT!

PISSING IN THE SNOW & OTHER OZARK FOLKTALKE
VANCE RANDOLPH
900663 About the Author: Randolph's reputation rests on the massive accumulation of folksong, folktale, and ballad materials he collected during forty years of living and working in the Ozarks. Unfortunately, in the 1950s when Randolph published several collection of Ozark tales, the material in this volume was considered unprintable. 'Pissing in the Snow' departs from the academic prudery that until recently has restricted the amount of bawdy folklore available for study. It presents a body of material that for twenty years has circulated only in manuscript or microfilm under its present title. When placed in their rightful context alongside Randolph's other collections of folk material, the bawdy tales help provide evidence of what Ozark hill people think about their own lives and language. As Rayna Green writes in her introduction, "The entire body of material . . . offers a picture of expressive behavior unparalleled by any other American region's or group's study." Hoffmann's annotations draw parallels between the erotic narrative tradition of the Ozarks and that in other parts of the country and the world, especially Europe. "As ripe, raunchy, and unprintable as honest 'country humor' could possibly be. . . . Randolph is absolutely tops among America's folklorists."--Publishers Weekly 0-380-50971-7 / 9780380509713
