"Greene continues to place sympathetic characters in familiar situations conveyed in short, breezy chapters&#8212;the ideal recipe for a series for newly independent readers or for a quick classroom read-aloud. Gentle black-and-white illustrations complement the story, adding another emotional level." --Kirkus Reviews

From the reviews:“Hermann Simon’s detailed study of Hidden Champions is phenomenal in its depth and rich coverage. These mid-size leaders carry lessons for large, medium, and small companies about the importance of focus, quality, service, innovation, and closeness to the customer, lessons that many of our largest Fortune 500 companies have forgotten.” (Philip Kotler, S.

The secret to their success is common sense, vision and flexibility - qualities that aren’t easy to find.” (The Wall Street Journal)“In Simon’s viewpoint, resistance to management fads is a strength, not a weakness.

He studies companies which are market leaders and … in many cases secretive companies. … I am a business analyst and adviser, this book is the rare business book which will have an immediate value to my consulting work in the insights and perspective it offers on how to build long lasting, profitable companies.” (LibraryThing, February, 2010) “A very thorough review of the ‘hidden champion’ marketspace. The author clearly knows this subject very well and covers all aspects of it. The topics are well discussed, with summaries and extensive notes for each chapter.

I’d recommend this book to business consultants, operating officers, small business owners, and anyone else that would like to see their business reach its potential.” (LibraryThing, November, 2010) “Interesting book that is very similar in premise to Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t, but focused on usually smaller and mostly European companies. The conclusions are well reasoned and documented and the lessons one can gain from this book are easily discoverable. … It still could be a valuable addition to your business library … .” (Mike Klein, Goodreads, July, 2010)

" Fleeing the City is a worthwhile project that fills the gap in the existing literature on urbanism. As Thompson points out, there is a lacuna in the extensive scholarship on urbanism. Although there have been numerous critical histories of the suburbs, studies of the city tend to approach the topic from a broadly sympathetic perspective and focus on the legal, architectural, economic, or social factors that have undermined its potential. A new systematic, book-length study of antiurbanism is long overdue and makes a real contribution to our understanding of cities." - Margaret Kohn, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto

'Overall...this book is highly recommended for readers interested in questions of political discourse or language, particularly given its methodological contribution to a field dominated by issues and texts of abstract theorisation.'- Lee Jarvis, Political Studies Review

'[T]he book raises major questions for discourse scholars. Regarding materials, Charteris-Black strives for balance between UK and US leaders from both the left and right, and it is refreshing to see a scholar who has no obvious axe to grind.' - Discourse & Communication

From the reviews:

"This book describes a static analysis that aims to prove the absence of buffer overflows in C programs. … The book formally describes how program operations are mapped to operations on polyhedra. … Many concepts presented here carry over to other languages such as Java or assembler. So it will be useful to any researcher and student with an interest in static analysis of real-world programming languages." (Stefan Meyer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1155, 2009)

'Digital television is, after the internet, the great, dimly comprehended drama of modern mass communications.

...this book has been written primarily for two groups of readers: the genetic counsellor (both medical and nonmedical) and the cytogenetic laboratory scientist. There are substantial sections of the book, however, which are of relevance to paediatricians...The authors are to be congratulated, not only because their book is one of the best of its kind, written in a clear and balanced manner and practically oriented!
