5 comments about Mad Dogs, Dreamers and Sages: Growth in the Age of Ideas.

1. I highly recommend this book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to experience growth and renewal, personally and professionally, no matter where you fit in our world or within an organization. It is uplifting, ground-breaking, informative, and wonderfully written. Don't miss the chance to experience this book and the rewards you will gain from it.



2. This book should be the textbook for free thinking entrepreneurs the world over. Especially now, when corporate and small business growth has become stagnant. Just when it seems we have all our oars in the water pulling in different directions Mad Dogs brings you to a different place, a place full of promise, fresh ideas, and innovation. The clarity in which it is written, leads you to intellectual stimulation and then inevitably to the execution of true growth in yourself, community and your own corporate success . Zades and Stephens have written a true gem. Buy this book before corporate America catches on.



3. I read Mad Dogs, Dreamers and Sages after reading the inspiring September cover story in Inc. magazine on Sundance and Robert Redford, which was excerpted from this book. The article was terrific. The entire book was not only excellent but it was inspirational as well. The book is different from so many of the business and leadership books out there in that it can be savored and enjoyed as well as applied rigorously. The hardest thing in any organization is to grow the top line. This book makes you believe it is not only possible, but gives you the tools to do it.



4. Zades and Stephens have really done their homework. I found this book to be highly insightful and helpful, plus it was an enjoyable read. It's
   ahead of the pack; I highly recommend it.



5. Fortunately, early in my career I had the good fortune of working for Steve Zades.

   Unfortunately, it was too early in my career for me to appreciate what an extraordinary leader, visionary and person I was working for. I still see the day I resigned as among the three biggest mistakes of my life.

   Reading through this book for me is more than a stroll down memory lane, as now I can see how incredibly far this road can go.

   Any self-respecting ad person (creative, account service, media placement or otherwise) should have a copy of this book sitting between their copies of Hey Whipple Squeeze This and Eating the Big Fish.

   Somewhere between Adam Smith, Stan Richards, Napolean Hill, Luke Sullivan, Marcus Aurelius and Carlos Castenda, Steve Zades has carved out a niche for himself as a true Business Philosopher King.

1 comments about Transforming Electricity: The Coming Generation of Change.

1. Walt Patterson does an excellent job in his book Transforming Electricity. He provides the reader with a basic understanding of the evolution of the electric power industry in the context of history. He then identifies, clearly and understandably, the forces that are changing today's grid based electric power industry. Especially chilling is his look into the future down two very different but possible paths -- one that leads into a bleak world of power scarcity and unreliability and one that leads to a new and brighter alternative of distributed on-site power. Transforming Electricity could be considered the Rosetta Stone for a radically changing industry -- NextGen Power.

1 comments about Invasive Alien Species: A New Synthesis (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) Series).

1. This book is made up of mostly case studies that require a fairly firm graps of biological and ecological principles.

1 comments about Leveraging the Private Sector: Management-Based Strategies for Improving Environmental Performance.

1. Leveraging the Private Sector: Management-Based Strategies for Improving Environmental Performance is a 'must' recommendation for any college-level or business collection serious about titles on environmental business responsibility. It offers analysis on how to think about and evaluate corporate behavior and responsibility, considering alternatives to traditional problems between allowing a free market system and regulation, and also offers firms details on how to develop practical management-based strategies that compliment environmental protection goals. An outstanding survey.
