Those who are fascinated with the Tudors can buy "The Tudors: The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty" by G. J. Meyer (Kindle Edition) for only $2.99 at Amazon.

Although the cover shows a picture of woman's torso in quite a revealing fashion, don't let the cover fool you. It is not about juicy private life of the Tudors. It is a general history book about the reign of the Tudors.
I love reading this period and these people, but it REALLY got slammed in the reviews. I'd like to hear what some of you folks think

It's meant to be more of a popular (rather than academic) history of the entire dynasty and he certainly has a point of view. I've only just begun it but I'll post what I thought when I'm finished.

I didn't notice it being especially slammed at Amazon; have I missed something? At any rate, it'll be interesting to see.

While the reviews are generally positive, some negative reviews point to a bunch of errors in the book. Those reviews led me to skip the book. Even popular histories should be accurate histories.

The Oprah Effect
by Nancy Mehagian, Judith A. Proffer
Premier Digital Publishing

Quote:
Oprah has contributed to the well-being of the planet in extraordinary ways by imparting heart and knowledge and overall belief in the ability of us all to continually grow and evolve. Oprah still teaches us through her own challenges that our life's work is to grow, take risks and make a difference along the way. These lessons are the blueprint for a life lived out loud, warts and all.

Ultimate Leadership: Winning Execution Strategies for Your Situation
by Russell E. Palmer
Pearson Prentice Hall

Quote:
To succeed, leaders must understand and apply the core principles of leadership--but that's not enough. You need to shape your approach for any unique situation. Too many leaders don't know how to do that--and that's why they fail. Ultimate Leadership shows how to adapt the principles of leadership to different challenges, contexts, and organizations.

Russell E. Palmer--who has had three very different, highly successful careers as head of one of the world's largest accounting firms, Dean of the Wharton School, and an entrepreneur--helps you identify the leadership model most appropriate for your environment, and how to lead accordingly. You'll learn better ways to lead your equals, help an organization weather crises, transform its culture, lead entrepreneurial organizations, lead global organizations...even lead non-profit and academic institutions.

Then, drawing on interviews with an extraordinary spectrum of outstanding leaders, Palmer helps you master the attribute every leader must have: the ability to inspire your unique organization, even in the face of the most daunting challenges.
