(Biography) BARNUM, PT. P. T.
Struggles and Triumphs or Forty Years' Recollections
Buffalo NY: The Courier Company 1883. First Thus. Original cloth. Very Good. 5 1/4 X 8 Inches. 338 PP. First thus edition - the first printing of the "Author's Edition" with added text up to 1883. Original black cloth with gilt title stamping to spine. Front and rear cover embossed in blind. Tissue-guard intact. Preface bears the 1883 date. Contains the full-page publishing history and details of this "cheaper edition" by Barnum dated 1883. Slight foxing and toning. A bit of wear to page edges and corners. Binding is clean and tight albeit a bit scuffed. A very appealing copy of Barnum's classic autobiography. <br /> <br /> In typical Barnum fashion his original Struggles and Triumphs was added to and reissued over the course of a decade or so. Continually changing the text and adding material at the end allowed Barnum to offer a slightly "newer" edition of the book at several different times. The Courier Company unknown

Charles Handy
The Elephant and the Flea : Looking Backwards to the Future
Hutchinson UK 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. Hardcover. 233 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Hutchinson UK 2001. First Edition. CONDITION: The book itself is in very good condition and comes in near fine dust jacket. More specifically: Edges of boards have superficial wear. Edges of dust jacket have superficial wear. . Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Pages are reasonably tanned. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In a tone that is at once learned genial witty and wise Handy takes us on his life's journey looking back to such topics as his childhood and education and how they prepared or rather did not prepare him for a career in business; the changing nature of organizational life within the context of the old economy and the new; the great variety of capitalism around the world; and through it all his struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in work. Handy uses the quirky powerful metaphor of the elephant and the flea to describe and critique the great shift from the prevalence of behemoth slow-moving bureaucratic organizations that provided a lifetime of security and not much freedom or room for creativity to a world in which we are much more independent and flea-like flitting from job to job latching onto elephants when we need to but mostly flying solo and without safe havens. This book is both a poignant personal memoir and a deep reflection on the past and future of world capitalism with all its possibilities and pitfalls. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Business Finance & Marketing; Biography & Autobiography. ISBN: 0091793637. ISBN/EAN: 9780091793630. Inventory No: 21110013. 9780091793630 Hutchinson hardcover
