A Critical Observer
A Great Political Biography
The other slick Willie
left-leaning love letter to a fascinating political figure On the objective side, the bookdoes call Brown to task for several ethical and race-baiting missteps, andhe largely accepts the common view of Brown as a fixer extraordinare whomade the trains run on time in the legislature at the expense of an agenda. The author also perceptively highlights why Brown succeeded tactically inholding his Speakership for so long, sometimes by pulling absolutepolitical miracles.This is when the book is at its best, showing howBrown has become one of the most powerful, savvy figures in Californiapolitical history. On the minus side (for those who prefer their historyunfiltered by the author's personal politics) references abound throughoutthe book to "ultra right conservatives", "hard rightconservatives" and the like but there are no similiar references tofigures on the left; Jesse Unruh and Ronald Reagan have "cronies"while Brown has friends. While clearly critical on occasions, at othertimes the author blatantly bends over backwards to make Brown look good. When Brown made some vicious personal public remarks about then GovernorDuekmajian (sp?) the author criticizes Brown yet excuses him by saying hewas just doing so to satisfy the Democrat Assembly members who disliked theDuke, yet its impossible (for me at least) to believe Brown's Assemblydelegation ever included people who demanded hateful comments from theSpeaker.Throughout the book, Brown is portrayed as a consummate,off-the-cuff showman who's unmatched with his rapier-like comments, yetwe're expected to believe this one was done calculatingly to satisfy peoplewho insisted that Brown engage in brutal personal insults.This doesn'thold water. The author also uncritically accepts Brown's assertion thathe went to law school on a whim and says if he hadn't seized this seeminglyrandom impulse, he never would have gone into politics.This seems astretch to say the least, largely because the author paints a quite vividpicture of Brown the showman who lives for thie limelight -- it's virtuallyimpossible to imagine this truly unique personality not in politics.That,and the fact that he was running for office by the time he was 28 indicateto me that like Bill Clinton, Willie Brown was intent on being a politicianat an early age. In the "give Willie the benefit of the doubt"category, outrageous remarks that can be fairly categorized as incitingviolence are excused because Brown, according to the author, was sopersonally devastated by RFK's assissination a few weeks before.Yet theauthor provides nothing to support this strange assertion.It seemsreasonable to conclude the author is going to extremes to excuse some ofBrown's most inexcusable conduct. At the end, the author drops allpretense of objectivity and discloses that he was a McGovern delegate atthe '72 convention (which explains why, although doesn't justify, theexcessive focus on that convention's minutae) and highlights Brown'sgreatest achievement as stymying the agendas of numerous Republicangovernors during his Assembly career. The book was enjoyable largelybecause the subject is so fascinating.Parts of it are extremely wellwritten, filled with strong analysis and the author undeniably did atremendous job researching the book, but even more, in landing firsthandinterviews with the major participants.Nonetheless, the book is unevenlyfocused, lavishing attention on Brown's flamboyance at the expense ofpersonal insights.There is also a sometimes subtle but unmistakable biasfrom beginning to end in favor of Brown's leftist politics and Brownhimself.
Plodding hagiography Over and over we are told of Brown's love of beautifulwomen, his "flamboyance", his expensive tastes. But who among usdoes not love beautiful women? And what, precisely, makes wearing anexpensive suit flamboyant? If an expensive suit is flamboyant, then GeorgeBush and Lloyd Bentsen must be flamboyant. Is it not important to knowwhat a politician thinks, in addition to what he wears and drives? ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Great things don’t happen in a vacuum. But creating an environment for creative thinking and innovation can be a daunting challenge. How can you make it happen at your company? The answer may surprise you: gamestorming. This book includes more than 80 games to help you break down barriers, communicate better, and generate new ideas, insights, and strategies. The authors have identified tools and techniques from some of the world’s most innovative professionals, whose teams collaborate and make great things happen. This book is the result: a unique collection of games that encourage engagement and creativity while bringing more structure and clarity to the workplace. Find out why -- and how -- with Gamestorming. We're hardwired to play games. We play them for fun. We play them in our social interactions. We play them at work. That last one is tricky. "Games" and "work" don't seem like a natural pairing. Their coupling in the workplace either implies goofing off (the fun variant) or office politics (the not-so-fun type). The authors of Gamestorming, have a different perspective. They contend that an embrace and understanding of game mechanics can yield benefits in many work environments, particularly those where old hierarchical models are no longer applicable, like the creatively driven knowledge work of today’s cutting edge industries. Here is one of the 83 games featured in Gamestorming: The ELEVATOR PITCH Game Often this is the hardest thing to do in developing a new idea. An elevator pitch must be short enough to deliver in a fictional elevator ride but also contain a compelling description of the problem you’re solving, who you’ll solve it for, and one key benefit that distinguishes it from other ideas. NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Can be done individually, or with a small working group DURATION OF PLAY: Save at least 90 minutes for the entire exercise, and consider a short break after the initial idea generation is complete before prioritizing and shaping the pitch itself. Small working groups will have an easier time coming to a final pitch; in some cases it may be necessary to assign one person with follow-up accountability for the final wording after the large decisions have been made in the exercise. HOW TO PLAY: Going through the exercise involves both a generating and a formative phase. To set up the generating phase, write these headers in sequence on flip charts: To finish the setup, explain the elements and their connection to each other: The Generating Phase Next, the group may discuss areas where they have the most trouble on their current pitch. Do we know enough about the competition to claim a unique differentiator? Do we agree on a target customer? Is our market category defined, or are we trying to define something new? Where do we need to focus? Before stepping into the formative phase, the group may use dot voting, affinity mapping, or another method to prioritize and cull their ideas in each category. The Formative Phase After a set amount of time (15 minutes may be sufficient), the groups reconvene and present their draft versions of the pitch. The group may choose to role-play as a target customer while listening to the pitch, and comment or ask questions of the presenters. The exercise is complete when there is a strong direction among the group on what the pitch should and should not contain. One potential outcome is the crafting of distinct pitches for different target customers; you may direct the group to focus on this during the formative stage. STRATEGY Role play is the fastest way to test a pitch. Assuming the role of a customer (or getting some real customers to participate in the exercise) will help filter out the jargon and empty terms that may interfere with a clear pitch. If the pitch is truly believable and compelling, participants should have no problem making it real with customers. The elevator pitch, or elevator speech, is a traditional staple of the venture capital community, based on the idea that if you are pitching a business idea it should be simple enough to convey on a short elevator ride.

38. William James On Radical Empiricism and Religion (Toronto Studies in Philosophy) by Hunter Brown | |

Editorial Review Product Description A century after the appearance of his famous works on religion, William James's philosophy of religion is still the subject of lively debate. James's numerous opponents have repeatedly charged him with abdication of intellectual responsibility, arguing that he advocated the adoption of religious belief without conclusive evidence on its behalf. In this book Hunter Brown shows that critics have consistently distorted James's view in the process of arriving at such charges. The central argument presented here is that critics have failed to look at James's philosophical vision as a whole. This failure is addressed by Brown as he locates James's thought on religion within the wider scope of Radical Empiricism's analyses of experience in general, and subject-object relations in particular. Brown presents the main interpretations and critiques of James's work, and shows that James's views of religious experience, evil and power, human responsibility, and ethical concerns do not in fact lapse into subjectivism and fideism. This penetrating study not only builds upon a long tradition of James scholarship but pushes through to new levels of inquiry and insight. It is a major work that will generate renewed discussion of James's thought along with the approaches and concerns emerging from it. |
