BUSINESS NOT AS USUAL - Volume 1
(You may be familiar with Hugh Aaron's iconoclastic articl...)
You may be familiar with Hugh Aaron's iconoclastic articles published in the Manager's Journal column of The Wall Street Journal. They challenge American management to question traditional business practices. Now, his book, Business Not As Usual expands his thesis and offers a unique contribution to the business literature. Aaron draws upon his experience of twenty years as a CEO in the plastics industry. From start up, his company expanded to a second manufacturing facility despite two recessions. Midway through the Reagan era, he sold the company in order to write. His enterprise was a virtual management laboratory. Not satisfied to merely stay afloat, Aaron experimented with a range of management techniques. Often the very survival of his business depended on his willingness to try innovative methods. In Business Not As Usual he shares his experiences, both those that were successful and those that failed.

Suzy, Fair Suzy
(A child's story in verse. A sensitive, spoken song with b...)
A child's story in verse. A sensitive, spoken song with beautiful imagery and sweet refrains, giving pleasure to both listener and reader. For children three to eight. Colorfully, imaginatively illustrated, offering much to see on every page. The Story: Suzy went to sleep every night with her many stuffed animal friends. Among them was her favorite dolly which always slept beside her. But one night she could not find her dolly. It had disappeared. Perhaps she had mislaid it, or left it at a friend's house, or simply lost it. Well, when she discovered that it was missing she began to cry, and called for her mother and father to find it. They searched and searched, but no dolly. Her father offered to buy her another one, but it could never replace her favorite. She was very sad. About a month later her mother presented her with a surprise which made up for the loss of her dolly and made her very happy. No, it was not a new one. Would you like to read this story to find out what it was?
