Chainsaw The Notorious Career of Al Dunlap in the Era of Profit-at-Any-Price
'Chainsaw' Al Dunlap Earned his nickname by the remorseless way he downsized organizations to boost shareholder value. Along the way, he became the most celebrated villain in business since Michael Milken, and his firing by Sunbeam made headlines around the world. But, as distinguished BusinessWeek journalist John Byrne shows so vividly in What Goes Around Comes Around, Dunlap's relentless destructive drive for profits at any cost is symptomatic of our times -- and the overpowering greed of Wall Street's princes, who hired Dunlap and paid his salary. With names right out of today's business headlines, including financiers Ron Perelman and Michael Price, hedge-fund wheeler-dealer Michael Steinhardt (whom Time magazine named one of the 25 most influential Americans of 1998), and assorted characters from business powerhouses such as Morgan Stanley, Skadden Arps, Arthur Andersen, and Coopers & Lybrand, the book tells of the mad pursuit of wealth. Wealth, in this case, in the form of increasing share price -- won at the expense of customers, employees, the community at large, and, ultimately, the truth. Loaded with implications for everyone with a stake in American business, What Goes Around Comes Around will be to the '90s what Barbarians at the Gate was to the '80s. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - Used Item: 461109565

At War with Ourselves Why America Is Squandering Its Chance to Build a Better World
As correspondent for Newsweek, Michael Hirsh has traveled to every continent, reporting on American foreign policy. Now he draws on his experience to offer an original explanation of America's role in the world and the problems facing the nation today and in the future. Using colorful vignettes and up-close reporting from his coverage of the first two post-Cold War presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Hirsh argues that America has a new role never before played by any nation: it is the world's Uberpower, overseeing the global system from the air, land, sea and, increasingly, from space as well. And that means America has a unique opportunity to do what no great power in history has ever done--to perpetuate indefinitely the global system it has built, to create an international community with American power at its center that is so secure it may never be challenged. Yet Americans are squandering this chance by failing to realize what is at stake. At the same time that America as a nation possesses powers it barely comprehends, Americans as individuals ha - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - Used Item: 461403233

Rails Under My Back A Novel
A dazzling family saga that brilliantly reflects the reality of the African-American experience in the United States Hatch and Jesus Jones are cousins on their fathers' side and on their mothers' side, and you can't have a family much more bound than that. And family is the most important entity for these young men, even when family seems to be defined by abandonment. Rails Under My Back traces these two men from one form of bondage or freedom to another, from one job to another, as they face down danger and try to come to terms with their family's past. This ambitious novel, which has been hailed by critics nationwide as a rare achievement on the level of fiction by Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Richard Wright, is the communal expression of a century of African-American life in America, with its imagery of exodus and exile, departure and destiny. It wields extraordinary literary, religious, and historical power, and announces the triumphant debut of a most powerful and utterly original voice. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - Used Item: 461662495

Mosfet Models for Spice Simulation Including BSIM3v3 and BSIM4
An expert guide to understanding and making optimum use of BSIM Used by more chip designers worldwide than any other comparable model, the Berkeley Short-Channel IGFET Model (BSIM) has, over the past few years, established itself as the de facto standard MOSFET SPICE model for circuit simulation and CMOS technology development. Yet, until now, there have been no independent expert guides or tutorials to supplement the various BSIM manuals currently available. Written by a noted expert in the field, this book fills that gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive guide to understanding and making optimal use of BSIM3 and BSIM4. Drawing upon his extensive experience designing with BSIM, William Liu provides a brief history of the model, discusses the various advantages of BSIM over other models, and explores the reasons why BSIM3 has been adopted by the majority of circuit manufacturers. He then provides engineers with the detailed practical information and guidance they need to master all of BSIM’s features. He: *Summarizes key BSIM3 components *Represents the BSIM3 model with equivalent circuits for various operating conditions *Provides a comprehensive glossary of modeling terminology *Lists alphabetically BSIM3 parameters along with their meanings and relevant equations *Explores BSIM3’s flaws and provides improvement suggestions *Describes all of BSIM4’s improvements and new features *Provides useful SPICE files, which are available online at the Wiley ftp site - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461115286
