Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-18 Summary: Realistic end of the world ... Lucifer's Hammer is one of the most realistic end of the world survival books I've read. I tried several others and none rang true. I could see everything unfolding in a real world disaster just the way it did in Lucifer's Hammer. People splitting into two groups: the rebuilders and the takers with a whole lot more of the takers. For me it wasn't about a comet hitting the earth, it was about how people reacted once civilization collapsed. What do you do when there's no more money, grocery stores, electricity, etc? ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-27 Summary: Lucifer's Hammer: Most exciting book! ... Lucifer's Hammer is one of the finest "post disaster" novels I have ever read. If you've ever wondered what could happen after a disaster that removes most of the population and all of the services that were there prior to the disaster, then this is the book. Who survives? How do people survive (those that do), and how does one survive without food, electricity, transportation, Government services (no police or emergency help), and many other things. How does one start at a beginning? This book tells you how some people ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-22 Summary: A Great Retro Apocalyptic Ride ... Once read you may agree that this has influenced quite a few of the disaster and apocalyptic novels since its publication (The Stand, Swan Song, World Made by Hand) but without any supernatural aspects. The authors keep a large cast of characters moving with clarity and interest. Some good 1970's references like "honkies" and telegrams take one back. Overall an enjoyable and well-researched read. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-12 Summary: Lucifers Hammer! ... This is by far my favorite book. I had to purchase a hardcover edition for my bookcase. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known.... "Massively entertaining."...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-27 Summary: old timer does the trick ... When I was young, I loved Mike Hammer. It was nostalgia to re-read the yarns. It might give the new generation laughs as there were no computers, cell-phones or caller id's. The forensic department was a joke. The detective actually had to use the brain. Womanizing and boozing, eating bloody steaks and blowing low-lives away without going to jail was the thing to do. I still get a kick out of it. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Memory lane part 2 ... This book, like volume one is a wonderful trip down memory lane of the 1950's. Even if you were born much later, it is a great look back at a time when everyone smoked, cars had start buttons, and women were dames. Also missing is all the cuss words in all the books and movies of today. ...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Malleus Maleficarum, first published in 1486-7, is the standard medieval text on witchcraft and it remained in print throughout the early modern period. Its descriptions of the evil acts of witches and the ways to exterminate them continue to contribute to our knowledge of early modern law, religion and society.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-19 Summary: A Business Process Reengineering Classic ... Michael Hammer is the guru of business processes. Though the first edition of the book was written in 1998, the content in the book are timeless and are equally valuable and applicable today. The core idea of the book is to forget the assembly-line and specialization-oriented process design, which clouds the overall goal of producing superior output and customer value-add. Assembly-line mentality promotes specialization and gives rise to narrow job focus, which leads to misaligned incentives and undermines the overall ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-05 Summary: Remembering Michael Hammer ... In a new world of more abundant capital, deregulated markets, freer trade and, most especially, inexpensive computing and communication, economies of scale and scope were being redefined. Hammer saw that yesterday's competitive yardsticks were no longer meaningful and that businesses needed to start managing themselves relative to their new potential, not just against their historical performance. See [...] ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-07 Summary: A must read for all managers and consultants ... One of the reviews for this book mentioned that it would be better to read anything by Alfred Chandler than read this book. As I recall, Afred Chandler recommended that structure follow strategy (or was it the other way around). One of the nice insights in Hammer and Champy's Reengineering the Corporation is that structure should follow process. That is, first figure out how to do business well, then assemble the people and formal systems to make it happen. Michael Porter was on to this concept, of course, in his 1996 ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-01 Summary: A must-read book ... It's sometimes difficult to find good managerial books that are based on more than pure management theories. This book is an exception. A must read piece of art crafted by people with feet deeply planted into the real way of doing things at corporations. This book strains people's brain in the sense that they feel compelled to think about what is going on at work heading for a better company through reengineering established processes. Specially for me, this book also brings hope, hope that no matter how critical some ...more
