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....

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
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | New rules for the new game: the ideas that every business needs to win in the customer economy In The Agenda , Michael Hammer shows companies how to prosper in today’s world of slow growth, fierce competition, and enormously powerful customers. The winners in this extraordinarily difficult environment—companies like IBM, Duke Power, Progressive Insurance, and GE—succeed through superior operations. Their costs are lower and their quality higher than their competitors’; they get...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
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. You will spend hours with this book. I loved it and wish there were more books like this. Limited to 2500 copies, get yours today before they are gone. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ...

You will be guided through this wonderful collection of photos by Kinsey himself,the celebrated author...more
Hammer Films: The Bray Studio Years
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-17 Summary: The first half of the essential Hammer reference ... Wayne Kinsey's books on Hammer Films (The Bray Studios Years and The Elstree Studios Years) together form the essential reference on the short-lived British studio that brought us the greatest horror films of the 60's and 70's. The books are well-researched and packed with behind-the-scenes stories and photos. If you love Hammer, you need to own these books. I was under the impression that the first volume, Hammer Films: The Bray Studios Years, was out of print, because I had tried ordering it from several online dealers ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-06-27 Summary: Fascinating and essential ... I haven't put this book down since I first picked it up six months ago. Kinsey's history of Hammer's Bray years (i.e. until 1967) is full of fascinating details I have not encountered elsewhere. He really manages to inspire an affection and enthusiasm for both the films and the Bray studios themselves. By far the best section, and the reason I keep returning to the book, is the multi-page illustrated tour through the history of Bray's backlot, packed with rarely seen photos of Hammer's most memorable sets. Essential ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-06-06 Summary: A good try but not enough new and interesting material ... Who doesn't love Hammer Films? The author, Wayne Kinsey, a true fan, has devoted this book to the classic Hammer Years, at Bray Studio, a veritable Shangri-La, or mythical place, only this was real. On this lot Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and dozens more gave their finest performances in a variety of monster, slasher, terror, sci-fi and less easily classifiable films, for a parade of studio execs who sometimes resembled a kind of family--ever the more so in retrospect. Kinsey presents a film by film breakdown, in ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Hammer Films was one of the most successful independent production companies of the 1950s and 60s. The company's movies conquered box offices around the world, but the movies it produced during this era were all produced at the same modest facility near Windsor, in the English Home Counties. Acclaimed Hammer expert Wayne Kinsey has gained exclusive access to production files and censor reports, and conducted numerous interviews during many years of research. The result is a definitive...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-08-05 Summary: The Grand Old Party ... This is a first-rate history of the Communist Party and its fellow-travelers in Alabama during the depression. It describes the Party during the "third period" and the popular front era. While it does not discuss the ulterior motives of the Party in any great detail, it does help to establish the positive role of the Communists in the prehistory of the civil rights movement. It also gives glimpses of the life in the Party in Alabama including Communist songs sung to the tune of spirituals, and African-American Young ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-12-17 Summary: A powerful venture in American history ... Kelley has produced a powerful and startling history of the deep south in the 1930s. He tackles a difficult subject both historically and ideologically (the relationship between poor black sharecroppers and the American Communist party). His tireless efforts at writing this book shine out of the pages unquestionably as does his deep, thoughtful intelligence. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in subversive U.S. history or just in a good read. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 1999-02-15 Summary: Excellent. HIghly Infoormative and Insightfuul. ... This book is great, it undermines the conventional treatments of afro-american history and although it is focused in the south it takes a genuine look at the struggle to free the shackles from Afro-americans and lift the blanket of opressions. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Between 1929 and 1941, the Communist Party organized and led a radical, militantly antiracist movement in Alabama—the center of Party activity in the Depression South. Hammer and Hoe documents the efforts of the Alabama Communist Party and its allies to secure racial, economic, and political reforms. Sensitive to the complexities of gender, race, culture and class without compromising the political narrative, Robin Kelley illustrates one of the most unique and least understood radical...more
