The Mike Hammer Collection Volume 1
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780451203526; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-09 Summary: Just get to the meat of the matter ... Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer collection is a must have for detective thrillers and nostalgia seekers alike. The lowest common denominator language unembellished with adjectives and adverbs is raw, urgent, harsh and cuts to the bone. Hammer is a hard drinking neanderthal with a nonstop libido. Maybe if people read more by writers like Spillane, they wouldn't believe the flowery garbage they see in print these days was so good. The first story dove straight into the fray. It is hard to put the volume down. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-11 Summary: The only thing a punk understands is a crack on the jaw with the barrel of a forty-five ... This set (and it's companion volume) really represent Spillane and Hammer at their hard-bitten best. It took literally decades for Spillane to get the respect he always deserved (but couldn't have cared less about) for his creation. Frankly, Hammer deserves a place on the same plateau as Marlowe and Spade. From the cold blooded "It was easy" to the shocking "Juno was a..." Take a walk on the wild side and rain swept NY back alleys with the Hammer. It's dark and dangerous, but you will never regret it. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Down memory lane ... I loved these books when I was in High School. They were a big reason I became a private detective. But, they are a little dated for today. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane when everyone smoked, cars and starter buttons, and girls were dames. They are a wonderful look back into the 1950's. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-24 Summary: "It Was Easy." (No, it only looks that way) ... Back in the day when I was teaching university literature courses, I would annually shock some English department colleagues by suggesting to students that Raymond Chandler was a better writer than F. Scott Fitzgerald. I smile to think of their reactions today if I were teaching a course in American literature, in which I would spend serious time reading and discussing Mickey Spillane and his unforgettable character, Mike Hammer. Spillane was never a trickster or sensationalist. He was a hard worker and a born storyteller ...more

Hammer Films- A Life In Pictures: The Visual Story of Hammer Films
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-19 Summary: One of the best books on Hammer Films ... This book may strike some people as pricey, but if you love Hammer Films like I do, it is well worth it. This book is different from other Hammer books in that it is totally visual. Most of the pictures have never been published before, and there are a number of behind-the-scenes photos which show a side of Hammer Films most fans have not seen. This book does not contain a "nuts and bolts" history of Hammer--there are plenty of other books which do that. This is a book for the hard-core Hammer fan who thinks he or ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-01 Summary: Beautiful Photo History of Hammer Films ... This is a fantastic book. Hundreds of photos showcase the studio that was Hammer. Broken down into chapters including Frankenstein, Dracula, Science Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, etc. The photos are crisp and clear, mostly b/w, but there are several color sections.

The Agenda: What Every Business Must Do to Dominate the Decade

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Hammer is the Master ... Dr. Hammer is deservedly the master of process change. His books give a good overview of his concepts, and serve as an effective evaluation of what you can achieve by following his methods. However, I found that his training courses are the best way to get the training required to implement his approach. My profession is business transformation, and Dr. Hammer is the model I primarily use in my work. There are many tools available (and required) to achieve and sustain effective business change, but Hammer is my primary ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-10-21 Summary: The customer economy requires more than reenginering ... Michael Hammer became a guru by coining the term reengineering and writing bestsellers on business processes. Reengineering was a revolutionary "big idea" that took businesses with storm in the early 1990s. A decade after his first publications, Hammer's book, "The Agenda", acknowledge that reengineering is no "silver bullet" ... it cannot stand alone. Modern management needs to use several business concepts simultaneously to thrive in the new customer economy, i.e. where supply exceeds demand (overcapacity), customers ...more

[2] ... Review | "Suddenly," writes Michael Hammer in the opening to his confidently but aptly named new book The Agenda , "business is not so easy anymore." He then sets out an ambitious plan for righting what many businesses are doing wrong, much as he did a decade ago in his bestselling Reengineering the Corporation . This time, however, he retreats from the overarching "big idea" promulgated in his earlier book to present a system that incorporates nine ideas geared for an environment where customers really do...more
