The dictionary is fantastic .Tracing slang from the 16th century to the present is no mean feat.However, the omission of some slang expressions , namely between a rock and a hard place or couldn't organize a two-car funeral , is odd.I personally prefer dictioaries that are organized according to keywords rather than alphabetically , but considering everything ,the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Intrigued by this era of celebrity. We are now used to the way celebrities tell all at almost every opportunity at the beginning of a career and then claim to be hounded when they have become estalished and have plenty of cash in the bank.

Dr.Frost is one of the greatest change agents and mentors of leaders.
This book is not easy to read, but it contains the ideas of one of the greatest change agents. While working with Dr. Frost Herman Miller, Donnelly, Motorola, and Beth Israel Hospital were all rated in the top 50 best places to work in America. I don't know of any other consultant or professor with this track record. He also had a hand in saving Harley Davidson, and Wolverine Worldwide. This book is a must for anyone interested in the Scanlon Plan for individual and organizational excellence.
