1966 he was sent to Hanoi in North Vietnam at the time when the war began to assume its full rigour. It was a lonely job, but, as one can read between the lines, he had the inner resources to cope with his uncomfortable situation, diverting himself, among other things, by pursuing his interest in oriental ceramics. His account of life in the beleaguered city is certainly remarkable, but more so perhaps is his surprising conclusion that the Americans certainly did not leave Indo-China without credit or achievement. This controversial verdict, which flies in the face of received opinion and coming from one so close to the centre of the storm, is bound to raise not a few eyebrows. In 1971 Colvin was sent, with his wife and two small children, as Ambassador to the People's Republic of Mongolia, (Outer Mongolia). His memories of that remote but lovely country, which dwell as much upon topographical as political aspects, provide a fascinating insight into life in a then Russian satellite state far removed from the centre of world affairs. One can well understand how he and his family soon came to fall in love with this apparently cold and hostile environment. The contrast between Hanoi and Ulan Bator could hardly be greater--not merely in temperature. But Colvin managed to thrive in both and his lively account of life in these different, difficult and distant environments is that of a cheerful, witty, erudite and supremely civilized man.  (less)

1542 and was imprisoned in 1577 for his devotion to the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila. During his imprisonment, he wrote most of the poems that have earned him the reputation as the greatest poet of the Christian mystical tradition. The poems, presented here in a beautifully printed, lightly illustrated Spanish/English edition, often blur the line between romantic and religious love, in the tradition of Song of Songs. ""On a Dark Night,"" for example, begins with a lover whose gender is not identified, stealing out of a house, down a secret ladder, following ""my only light and guide / the light that burned in my heart,"" to find ""the one I knew would come, / where surely no one would find us."" The poem ends with a breathtaking image of spiritual and sensual contentment: ""On the ramparts / while I sat ruffling his hair / the air struck my neck / with its gentle hand, / leaving my senses suspended. / I stayed; I surrendered, / resting my face on my Beloved. / Nothing mattered. / I left my cares / forgotten among the lilies."" These are poems to read aloud to a lover, poems to read silently before God, poems that quiver before the world's beauty and thankfully seek to describe something beyond it--a God whose undeniable intimacy with humanity always edges toward the ineffable. --Michael Joseph Gross"  (less)

on putting the other guy first-be it a colleague, competitor, customer, friend or family member. Told through the fictitious story of an ambitious young salesman named Joe, Burg and Mann communicate their points through the advice of an enigmatic (and highly likeable) mentor character known as Pindar. Rather than help Joe snag a fast sale, the consultant introduces him to series of go-givers who personify the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success. Over the course of five days, a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial advisor, a real-estate broker and the mysterious Connector teach Joe about the laws of value, compensation, influence, authenticity and receptivity-concepts that make more immediate sense in this fictional context than they would in a formal business book. Burg (Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts Into Sales) and Mann (You Call the Shots) write with a simple, informal style that offers a working-person's interpretation of the old adage give, and you shall receive.
