Flat Earth News, by Nick Davies - 2008
"Absolutely
fascinating read for anyone interested in the media. I always thought that the media could be manipulated, but never did I
think that it was to this extent and with such malice and cynicism."
"A truly disturbing investigation
into how the modern media has been corrupted to provide a distorted view of the 'news'. If you read any of the non-red top
papers it provides a fascinating insight to what has happened to the whole concept of journalism in the last 30 or 40 years
and it's not what you may think."
"As he mentions in the chapter `The Private Life of Public Relation',
PR firms inject falsehood into the British media so surreptitiously which the weekly columnists are completely oblivious to."
"He cites a Cardiff University study of four quality papers which found that 60% of their home news stories were
wholly from wire agencies, mainly the Press Association, or PR material, 20% partially so, 8% from unknown sources, and just
12% generated by reporters. The Press Association reports only what is said, it has no time to check whether it is true. There
are now more PR people, 47,800, than journalists, 45,000."

Diary of an Adman, by Chris Epting - 2003
Toward the end
of Chris Epting's book, he muses as to whether the reader will come away with any kernels of knowledge or wisdom regarding
what he's input, in diary form, of a copywriter, author, photojournalist, historian, lecturer, star gazer, husband, father,
mentor and friend who has struck out on his own, after 20 some years under the corporate thumb.
By then it's too
late to wonder.
By then the reader is so filled to overflowing with enthusiasm about the possibilities in his
or her own life that finishing the book and having at it is the prime concern and goal.
This is a fast, thoroughly
enjoyable read that mixes the balancing act of intertwining family and work life with a road not taken first hand account
of a trapeze act without benefit of net. And in between the day by day account of Mr. Epting's own first year, we get juicy
tidbits of corporate gossip, historical ad biz references, and a forty year old's Doogie Howser-like philosophical musings
on all manner of life's bits and bobs.

My Life as a Corporate Goddess, by Jane C. Rosen
- 2006
Using intelligent satire, Jane Rosen brings new life and insight to the ongoing dialogue for
women in leadership. She takes a daring, sacrilegious approach to the issues of what women have accomplished, what hurdles
remain in the climb up the corporate ladder and, how to overcome those hurdles in heels.
Women in business need
a good laugh and this book hits that funny bone chapter after chapter. An entertaining read that will inform, uplift and inspire.
After all, if the Goddess could share the Acropolis with the great Gods of Greek mythology, then why can’t she
share a seat alongside the mere mortals of the corporate boardroom?

Jakarta Journal: Confessions of a Software Road Warrior, by B. Abraham - 2001
How many so-called “road warriors”, the traveling foot soldiers of today’s global economy,
are out there right now in an airport lounge, or alone in a hotel room with nothing but a notebook computer?
Jakarta
Journal is the spontaneous diary of one of them.
"If you've ever been on the road, alone, away from home and
your family -- on assignment, selling, taking classes -- then you will be moved by Abraham's reflections on two tough but
intense weeks in Jakarta.
The book is made up of a series of e-mail messages home. By sharing these messages,
Abraham lets the rest of us get a glance of a world we do not know (and a new way of looking at a world many know all to well).
