Summary
Summary
As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Publisher's Weekly Review
Recent articles from the Harvard Business Review are here divided into three sections. In "Remodeling Business," authors explore corporate reconfigurations for greater efficiency and identify potential profit centers (e.g., FedEx now sells its logistics expertise to other firms). In "Remaking Markets," writers examine how the Internet affects selling to both businesses and consumers. Essays on "Re-imagining Management" address the response at the helm. Pitched to senior management, the pieces effectively frame the debate about the future. (July 16) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Booklist Review
There are nearly three dozen titles in the Harvard Business Review Book series, which consists of collections of articles on selected topics of current interest that have previously appeared in the Harvard Business Review (HBR). Carr, HBR's executive editor, has chosen 13 articles all published within the past three years for this latest addition to the series. Each choice shows in some way how "new technologies are altering the economic trade-offs that determine the shape of business and rewriting the rules of competition." Divided into three sections, the pieces examine new models for conducting business "at the most fundamental level," look at how the Internet is altering the buying process in both consumer and business-to-business markets, and investigate new strategies for organizing and motivating people in organizations transformed by the Internet. --David Rouse
