The Business Value of Computers speaks to executives responsible for information technology. Some of the book's findings and 1) There is no relation between spending for computers, profits or productivity. 2) Conventional analysis that apply revenue ratios or return-on-asset measures are unreliable. 3) The published rankings of excellence in using computers do not relate to profitabiilty. 4) The effectiveness of information technology is difficult to evaluate because it mostly supports unmeasurable managerial work. 5) Business over-achievers do not spend more money on comptuers. They concentrate their information technology on business value-added. 6) Business over-achievers automate administrative operations to reduce overhead expenses. 7) Use business value-added to evaluate computer projects. 8) Apply the Return-on-Management to find out where to use computers. 9) Propose business plans with or without added spending to measure the financial contributions of information technology. 10) Rely primarily on financial plans and controls for balancing the costs and benefits of computers. 11) Take advantage of the steady cost reductions available from advances in electronics. 12) Make the communication network the key to future productivity gains. 13) Have computer experts concentrate on the delivery of efficient computer applications. 14) Require that information resources management becomes every manager's job.

My March to A Jewish Boy’s Story of Partizan Warfare is the compelling saga of a young Jewish boy coming of age during World War II. Paul Strassmann was fifteen when his family’s life in Trenčín, Slovakia, was turned upside down by the war. His memoir tells one man’s story of what it was like to be a teenager during World War II―what he learned, what he lost, and what he had to do to survive. During the summer and fall of 1944, life became perilous. Strassman’s family was deported, and he became a fugitive, but he quickly determined that he was unsuited for a life in hiding. He joined a partizan unit, and took part in military actions and survival efforts during the brutal winter months that followed.Strassmann’s memoir reflects on the reasons he chose to take up combat as a means of escaping the Germans. Not only does he provide the reader with recollections of various partizan campaigns, but he also offers tender portrayals of those he loved and eventually lost. In addition, the memoir addresses how the Slovak government methodically organized the impoverishment and then the annihilation of Slovak Jews―actions that Strassmann describes as the "bureaucratization of genocide." My March to Liberation will appeal to World War II historians as well as to general readers drawn to gripping memoir, as Strassman brings to life a lesser-known area of World War II history in a vivid way.

Paul's War tells about the experiences of a fifteen-year-old who joined a partizan unit in September 1944, to derail German trains on a strategic railroad in Slovakia. Military actions and survival in the mountains during a brutal winter are described as often tragic events. Paul stayed with the partizans until the end of war when he joined the Czechoslovak army.

The Computers Nobody Wanted is a history of an ill-conceived acquisition, in 1969, of Xerox's entry into the computer business to its abandonment in 1974. The book also traces ambitious investments in a computer workstation - the STAR computer - from conception in 1973 to its dissolution in 1984. The narrative describes the pioneering research at the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) and how an inspired group produced superb innovations that were of no commercial value to Xerox.

PAULÕS ODYSSEY follows experiences from his arrival in New York in 1948 until retirement from a corporate career in 1985. It tracks education from the Cooper Union and M.I.T. through increasingly senior computer-related jobs in General Foods, the National Dairy Products Corporation and in Xerox. Failed attempts to introduce computers made by Xerox Data Systems and the missed opportunities to advance innovations from the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) are discussed in detail. After retirement as Vice-President of Xerox, he continues an active career as consultant, lecturer, public servant and academic.

There will be eighty-four million seniors over the age of sixty-five in 2050. These seniors will need to plan safeguarding adequate income to support their retirement years. Seniors are facing increasing life expectancy, escalating inflation, accelerating medical expenses while the returns on their savings are diminishing and social security is insufficient for most of the population. This book addresses the prospects of what we know about social and economic developments that could be expected from the age of sixty-years until full longevity is reached. We include charts that indicate how in the future seniors will not be able to offer post-retirement take-home pay that can come close to matching a standard of life comparable to pre-retirement years. Estimates of future incomes for retired male seniors and particularly for female seniors do not look encouraging. Retirees need to start preparing for more adverse financial conditions to be met with lower living costs as well as with an accumulation of well-protected savings.
