History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Self-surveys for determining your motivation style........2000-11-27

Would you like to determine your own motivation / leadership style? Are you task-oriented or people-oriented? Although I have not used the entire book, Chapter 12 of this book presents several self-assessment surveys based on McGregor's Theory-X / Theory-Y, McClelland's Achievement-Power-Affiliation, and Herzberg's Motivators-Hygienics models. Chapter 10 has a self-assessment survey based on Likert's System (Authoritarian-Benevolent Authoritarian-Consultative-Participative). Very useful.

Book Description

Poverty comparisons--such as assessment of whether poverty has increased, or where it is greatest are typically clouded in conceptual and methodological uncertainties. How should individual well-being be assessed in deciding who is poor? Is a household survey a reliable guide? Where should the poverty line be drawn, and does the choice matter? This monograph surveys the issues that need to be considered in answering these questions. Poverty Comparisons provides an accessible introduction to the most recent literature. The strengths and weaknesses of past methods are discussed, and a summary of methodological recommendations is given. A number of new analytical tools are described which can greatly facilitate poverty comparisons, recognizing the uncertainties involved.

Book Description

Jack Stahl became a top executive of two world-famous corporations before the age of 50. Now, Stahl offers the down-to-earth approach to business leadership that fueled his meteoric rise through the corporate ranks. His practical solutions empower leaders to manage the critical issues they encounter every day and develop skills for a business lifetime.

Stahl organizes his leadership guidelines into seven categories, what he calls his “Frameworks for Success”: Leadership and Management, Creating a High-Capability Organization, Developing People, Brand Positioning with Consumers, Customer Relationship Management, Financial Strategy, and Influencing People.

Written in Stahl’s accessible and conversational style, Lessons on Leadership speaks directly to the heart of business leaders bent on improvement and to the mind of the practical executive on the lookout for powerful perspectives.

A gifted writer, Stahl expertly simplifies the complexities of running a business.......2007-08-04

An experienced and successful CEO of the Coca-Cola company's North American group (who also served as head of their global corporation) for twenty-two years, and later serving for five years as CEO of Revlon, Jack Stahl writes with a very special expertise on the subject of leadership in the management of a business with "Lessons On Leadership: The 7 Fundamental Management Skills For Leaders At All Levels". A gifted writer, Stahl expertly simplifies the complexities of running a business by introducing, explaining, and illustrating seven frameworks that cover many of the situations that are commonly encountered by managers when building up world-class organizations in a volatile and competitive marketplace be it local, regional, national, or international. These frameworks relate to the basic issues of leadership and management; creating a high-capability organization; developing human resources; brand positioning with consumers; customer relationship management; financial strategy and management; and 'influencing people'. "Lessons On Leadership" is strongly recommended reading, especially for business students, employees aspiring to management responsibilities, and managers charged with advancing their company's best interests and bottom-line profitability.

Passionate, Insightful, and Pragmatic.......2007-07-04

The last time I checked, there are more than 52,000 business books in print on the subject of leadership. It is reasonable to ask, "Why another?" Jack Stahl provides his answer in this book, based on his extensive real-world experience as a senior level executive, notably as president of Coca-Cola and then, until recently, CEO of Revlon. True, both are major corporations. However, Stahl asserts - and I wholeheartedly agree - that "organizational dynamics are often similar in different environments, and most of the important leadership skills and techniques presented here will apply across diverse organizations large and small, and to various management roles. The frameworks are guidelines that I know have helped me."

Specifically, Stahl focuses on seven "frameworks" and devotes a separate chapter to each, with "Key Points" and "Leadership Insights" featured:

1. Leadership and Management: "A modest view of your future brings modest results and rewards. Think big and give people the opportunity to win big." This is what Jim Collins calls a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG).

2. Creating a high-capability organization: "People focus on those skills and behaviors that leaders say count." Also, what they reward.

3. Developing people: "And important oversight technique for major projects is to schedule frequent project updates, and be sure that when someone says something is done, it is totally complete."

4. Brand positioning with consumers, clients, customers, etc.: "A `brand' represents a promise to consumers of what to expect from a product or service. Brand positioning is the process of establishing that promise in the minds of the reader."

5. Customer relationship management (CRM): "Asking questions and listening patiently and carefully - in order to understand your customer's business, where they want to take it, and how well you are serving it - is the foundation of great service."

6. Financial strategy and management: "As the leader, you must help make clear to your people the link between their actions and the creation of value for your company." Also, and at least as important, the creation of value for each customer.

7. Influencing people: "I have presented six frameworks for creating leadership success. The seventh is a linchpin for them all because success in any leadership role will depend upon your ability to effectively influence people to take actions to achieve success."

As these excerpts correctly indicate, Stahl provides no head-snapping revelations in this book, nor does he make any such claim. Rather, he shares everything he has learned (thus far) about what works...and what doesn't...in the seven basic business areas. To his credit, after briefly identifying the "what" of effective leadership, he devotes most of his attention to the "how" and "why" for those who wish to strengthen their leadership and management skills. I especially appreciate his effective use of various checklists for appropriate and effective action, such as the key building blocks for creating a high-capability organization (Page 31), seven basic techniques for leaders that are critical to successful people development (Page 64), customer relationship skills that focus on what is most important (Pages 109-110), and four important elements of an effective control and reporting system (Pages 153-154). These and other checklists facilitate, indeed expedite periodic review of Stahl's key points.

I commend Jack Stahl for his pragmatic approach as he shares a wealth of lessons he learned while occupying a series of progressively more demanding executive positions. His insights will be of special value to those now preparing for or have only recently embarked on a business career. I also recommend it supervisors in need of their own improvement in one or more of the seven areas on which Stahl focuses. Ultimately, however, it is the responsibility of each reader to absorb and digest the material provided, and then apply it effectively. Because Stahl is a pragmatist with a bias for results, he would presumably agree with Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton's admonition to beware of the "knowing-doing" and "doing-knowing" gaps. Or as former Texas football coach Darrell Royal once observed, "potential" means "you ain't done it yet."

Those who share my high regard for this book are urged to check out Bill George's Authentic Leadership and then True North (co-authored with Peter Sims) as well as Ram Charan's Know-How, Dean Spitzer's Transforming Performance Measurement, Paul Spiegelman's Why Is Everyone Smiling?, Thomas H. Davenport and Jeanne G. Harris' Competing on Analytics, James P. Andrew's Payback, Richard Ogle's Smart World, and Matthew May's The Elegant Solution.

Pleasantly proven wrong . . . .......2007-07-03

I have to admit, when I saw "another" book on leadership I anticipated a theoretical prose that seems to be prevalent in too many books on the subject. I was pleasantly proven wrong.

Although Stahl writes mainly from his experiences at Coca-Cola and Revlon, by no means are they narrow perspectives. And, by no means is what Stahl has to say only for executives of large companies. This book applies to those in leadership at any organization - or those that want to be.

Stahl provides compelling truths about the need for a clear, focused strategy; measurable objectives, and communicating both of those with enthusiasm throughout the organization. These activities are sorely lacking in many companies--yet vital for a company to thrive--so I was glad to see Stahl emphasize them.

He also talks about the flow of information and reporting systems, and perhaps most importantly, developing the people around you who can help the organization achieve its goals. Again, all vital.

What's more, Stahl doesn't use corporate-speak; it's down to earth stuff. And he doesn't just tell us how what to do, he tells us what questions to ask and why we need to ask them.

He also tells us these things based on a train-load of experience.

I believe any leader in any company will take away some golden nuggets from this book.

Great Book - Clear and Concise.......2007-06-28

I work in the private equity industry and spend a significant amount of time with management teams building leadership skills to ensure success in our investments. Having read a lot of these types of books, I can honestly say this book presents the most direct and clear path to developing leadership skills. Stahl uses more of an outline style so it is an extremely easy read and very much to the point - there is never a page in the book that is not useful. The book also is very specific and uses clear examples without getting into nebulous, long-winded discussions that put you to sleep. Overall, I found the book incredibly insightful and would strongly recommend it for anyone in business or investing.

good solid foundation for business skills.......2007-06-28

Just read Lessons on Leadership. It succeeds by offering clear advice and ideas for leading people, marketing brands, and managing customers. The author's years of senior experience at Coca-Cola and Revlon really show up in the stories he offers up to make his points. I am already using many of the ideas to help manage my sales team. Most importantly, the chapter on finance is easy to follow for a non-finance person like myself. Highly recommended.

Advanced techniques for PMs.......2001-07-07

Although the book's title contains the word "fundamental" this book really is about applying advanced techniques when using project management fundamentals. If you have managed one or more projects in which you've employed earned value this book will provide you with valuable techniques with which to refine your PM skills.

This 119-page book is structured in a sequence that follows a typical project life cycle. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction and chapters 2 through 15 are each a short monograph on a specific area as follows: understanding the project, organizing the project, scheduling, budgeting, establishing the baseline, detailed planning, measuring performance, accounting, data collection, estimating cost at completion, change control, baseline maintenance, external reporting and graphical representation of data. Chapter 16 is an overview of the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC), from which earned value project management was derived.

Each chapter builds upon the preceding one and each contains a wealth of information that usually takes years of experience to accrue. Two of the best chapters are data collection and change control. The chapter on data collection provides some quick techniques for interpreting earned value in relation to budget and actuals. The table that depicts this is almost worth the price of the book. The chapter on change control contains a gem in the form of an example budget baseline log, which is a tool that you'll want to immediately incorporate into your next project.

Overall this is an invaluable resource for project managers and one that deserves a place on your bookshelf or desktop where you can get to it conveniently. My copy is dog-eared and worn, and one of my treasured possessions.

Very Good Book about Basics.......2000-01-07

The book has very good information about project performance measurement. It explains important and useful terms clearly, and suggests how to use them. It is written in a style that is easy to read, and does not require an advanced degree in technology to understand. The glossary in the back is particularly helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to implement a new method of project performance measurement, or improve an existing one.

Book Description

In order for economic specialization to develop, it is important that well-defined property rights are established and that suspicion and fear of fraud do not pervade transactions. Such conditions cannot be created i ex abrupto /i but must somehow evolve. What needs to develop are not only suitable practices and rules themselves, but also the public agencies and moral environment without which generalized trust is difficult to establish. The cultural endowment of societies as they have developed over their particular histories is bound to play a major role in this regard, and the matter of cultural endowment is one of the central themes of this book. br On the other hand, division of labour does not only require well-enforced property rights and trust in economic dealings. It is also critically conditioned by the thickness of economic space, itself dependent on population density. This provides the second major theme of the volume: market development, including the development of private property

Book Description

Public sector orientations to planning, community and social development, or local economic development often overlook the money end of the project and focus almost exclusively on the social good. Unfortunately, plans do not materialize without money. This book takes a "hands-on" approach as it guides the reader through the steps of securing the funds necessary to meet community needs for cost effective services and facilities. It examines the fundamentals of financing local economic development from the perspectives of both the private and public sector. It shows how to link public community funding and private marketplace funding and describes how private development can incorporate community programs as an asset to a development project or programs. An easy read, the book includes numerous examples, eight real-world cases, a glossary of terms, and a model local economical development business plan.
