.The Pregnancy Test
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Erin McCarthy

October 01, 2005
I started this book really into it, thinking it would be a great read. And it was, up until the Caribbean trip. The sex scenes were so overly graphic, you'd think a teenage boy had written them. And the characters just got dumb after that. It was really hard for me to finish, and I agree with some of the other reviewers who saw the ending from a mile away. Initially I was going to try some of the author's other books, but this one was unnecessarily raunchy in my opinion.

.Do's and Taboos Around the World for Women in Business
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Roger E. Axtell, Tami Briggs, Margaret Corcoran, Mary Beth Lamb

March 18, 1997
This book was published awhile ago, and needs to be updated. I was particularly interested in the Middle East section, which this book called, "The Lands of Islam." The language was ethnocentric, with an orientalist attitude (see Edward Said for an explanation of orientalism). I do not recommend this for anyone interested in info for this region of the world; I have lived there and the information presented in this book is now incorrect, as the book is outdated.

.Border Crossings: American Interactions With Israelis (Interact Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Lucy, Shahar, David, Kurz

May 01, 1995
I work in a multinational company and am in daily contact with colleagues and clients abroad. They come from r&d, marketing and sales. When I read the book, everything clicked. All of a sudden, I understood why problems dealing with contracts, managing time and solving conflicts had arisen in the past. "Border Crossings" also gave me some good ideas about how to solve intercultural conflicts. When I first started out, I needed a dictionary to understand the language. Now that I understand the language, I need a cultural interpreter to figure out what the words and behavior really mean. "Border Crossings" is my interpreter.

.When Daddy Travels (Lift the Flap Story)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Harriet Ziefert

October 01, 2007
Great book for families with a "road warrior" Daddy. The children are sad to see Daddy leave, but figure out lots of ways to communicate with him (email, phone calls, reading a homemade book the Daddy wrote, making a calendar of events) and keep busy until his return.

.The Way of the Road Warrior: Lessons in Business and Life from the Road Most Traveled
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Robert L. Jolles

October 24, 2005
For anyone who travels for a living or takes business trips. This is a fantastic book filled with insight, poignancy, humor and wisdom. Robert Jolles is a self-employed consultant and trainer who has earned his stripes, not to mention frequent flyer miles.

Anyone who has been degraded by what passes as airline "service" (an oxymoron?) these days, will relate. Yet, the book is not a diatribe on airline imbecility. It is a rumination on the highs and lows of business travel and how it can become a dysfunctional addiction that ravages one's soul and family.

The kind of book I was sad to see end - the ultimate compliment a reader can pay!

.Keeping Your Family Close When Frequent Travel Pulls You Apart
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Elizabeth M. Hoekstra

January 05, 1998
I have read many books like this and I really like it. The author has captured my interest and indeed keeping your family close is o so important for most of us parents.
I'd also like to recommend that you read Untapped Wealth Discovered both first and second editions written by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison.
These two editions have very vital info for parents and kids alike and it's a good stepping stone for parents.
Good going Ms Hoestra.

.Valparaiso: A Play
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Travel
by: Don DeLillo

June 13, 2000
What a dud. Oh well. I hate most stage-plays anyway. As all the other reviewers have already said, VALPARAISO is about the mediacrization of everyday life. And it's typical DeLillo. Populated by cartoon characters who spout nonstop DeLilloisms.

Michael Majeski mentions a colleague with an "unnamed rare disease". Which harks back to a character in AMERICANA with "some blood thing". I'm convinced that Don is terrified of anything that remains unnamed & vague. Which explains why a schoolteachter in UNDERWORLD name-checks all the parts of a shoe. It's the schoolteacher's way of comforting Nick Shay. As if to say: life is a big fat mystery but it's not a total mystery.

There's a few good lines: "Moon-faced men and women with yearnings of epic ... Read More:
