A torrent of Internet blogs has poured from U.S. forces overseas, providing a unique view of our wars. Retired officer and blogger Burden does not claim this collection of extracts represents a cross section of what's available, nor does he disguise his biases. All the officers in the book are competent; all the enlisted men and women are brave; and all the husbands love their wives and vice versa. Every writer supports America's war aims, admires the President, despises enemy fighters (generally referred to as terrorists) and holds a low opinion of Americans who oppose the war (generally referred to as liberals). The best (if sometimes troublesome) selections relate personal experiences: a woman trucker is severely wounded; a tanker fights his way into Fallujah, enthusiastically describing the men he kills; a base commander fires an obstreperous Iraqi employee. More literary efforts are less successful, with several wince-inducing attempts at poetic battlefield imagery. Tributes to fallen comrades often fall into mawkishness. Burden warns that unfettered war blogging may soon disappear under the heavy hand of military censorship, but if our leaders are worried about criticism of their policies, Burden's book will reassure them.

Gerhard Gschwandtner “The Psychology of Sales Success"
If you're a sales professional who wants to succeed, you can benefit from these familiar words: “Know thyself.” Even more important, you should also know your customers. The Psychology of Sales Success shares insights into three psychological dynamics driving the sales process: the salesperson, the salesperson's desire for success, and the customer. Featuring action steps as well as knowledge from leading psychologists, psychiatrists, business school professors, successful authors, and talented sales professionals, the book will help you to:
Develop a successful attitude, master the thinking habits of successful sales professionals, and harness their powers of concentration
Handle customer anger, procrastination, and rejection; deal with confrontations; and double their listening power in minutes
Lower their own anxieties and boost confidence, eliminate stress, and become more action oriented
