|  | Moses; C.E.O. by Robert L. Dilenschneider
Competing in the global marketplace, feeling at home with constant technological innovation, the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots, environmental deterioration and aging are just a few of the problems we are all currently faced with. But, the obstacle which most threatens our very definition of ourselves as `human beings` is the ambiguity, about values. We are plagued with an epidemic of self-absorption, lack of self-control, persecution of those who are different than we are, conspicuous consumption, fear of the future and the inability to make a long-term commitment. Moses: C.E.O. presents the traits of the Biblical Leader -- the very traits of leadership and values needed by 2 lst-century mankind in business and personal dealings alike ... -- Examine the paradox that the greatest leaders are also brilliant followers. -- Reflect on great leaders` understanding of their limitations and mistakes and most importantly, how they made up for them. -- Explore the notion that leadership is most tested when the chips are down. -- Learn how to handle the responsibility of power in both professional and personal situations.

 | The American Cinema by Andrew X. Sarris
The auteur theory, of which Andrew Sarris was the leading American proponent, holds that artistry in cinema can be largely attributed to film directors, who while often working against the strictures of studios, producers, and scriptwriters, manage to infuse each film in their oeuvre with their personal style. The American Cinema, the bible of auteur studies, is a history of American film in the form of a lively guide to the work of two hundred film directors from Griffith, Chaplin, and von Sternberg, to Mike Nichols, Stanley Kubrick, and Jerry Lewis. Over twenty-five years after its initial publication, The American Cinema remains perhaps the most influential book ever written on the subject. AUTHOR: Andrew X. Sarris
