Praise for Chairman of the Board "Board chairmen will find Brian Lechem¡Çs book an excellent resource for addressing the issues that arise from the ongoing role of the chairman in managing the governance systems of their corporations."

Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP "Brian Lechem is the first authority to define a chair¡Çs role in a timely and very readable book?Chairman of the Board: A Practical Guide. As chair of two publicly traded companies and one not-for-profit, I find that there is little ¡Æguiding hand¡Ç advice. I would highly recommend chairs of all boards, and those aspiring to the office, to read this book."
?Jon K. Grant

CCL Industries Inc., Laurentian Bank of Canada, and the Canadian Canoe Museum "Chairman of the Board is much more than a practical guide for chairs. It is a well-written, thoughtful review of the myriad problems facing everyone with responsibility for the governance of an organization."

Boring movie, lovely packaging and picture quality. Is Gregory Peck trying to imitate Sean Connery?

John Adams - Harmonielehre ? The Chairman Dances ? Tromba lontana ? Short Ride in a Fast Machine / Sir Simon Rattle
$16.98
First-off, this is a fantastic collection of some of John Adams's catchiest and creative works. But why 4 stars?

1) Harmoneliere is great. But I think a more authentic recording could be that of Edo de Waart and San Francisco Symphony, since they premiered the piece, and Adams was composer-in-residence at the time. What this recording has that the other doesn't is the brassiness that the other recording could have.

2) Short Ride was sort a let-down for me, but that's maybe because I have a recording that I think is more exciting. Marin Alsop and Bournemouth do a faster, louder, and punchier job, in my opinion.


In conclusion, don't let this review stop you from buying it. I have it, and it's still fantastic.

Tibor Kalman might just be qualified to have his face on Apple's new "Think Different" campaign. Without a doubt he does the unexpected...at the risk of little or no practicality. When I recieved this book in the mail some of my co-workers thought a stock photography picture book was just "Dumb!" And maybe they're right. But I think the novelty of this book rests behind the humorous selection of photography to convey a simple message. This book isn't reading enjoyment...it's visual enjoyment. You'll find your mind filling in the blanks to "get" the joke. It's a great book to see...not read.
