With his father missing on the battlefields of Europe, his mother dead from cancer, and the bank days away from foreclosing on the family farm, Johnny finds himself destined for an orphanage. Unable to accept his father is dead, and refusing to go to the orphanage, Johnny flees into the woods, where the voice of an old man lures him to an abandoned farm.

"...if yuh wanna know about yer Pa, yuh gotta go up to Limbo. Pray that he ain't there, but look anyways. If yuh don't see him, then yuh ain't no orphan.

That Special Knack

By: Douglas J. McGregor

Jake McCluskie is back... last time, he was the Repairman, and he fixed Time and helped flush a demon back to Oblivion. This time, McCluskie is the Redeemer. He must redeem three souls and find Hell's Codes for the Angel of Death. In order to do that, he has to go to Oblivion--into his enemy's cage. No wonder the Redeemer always dies. Satan straightened up in the chair and reached into his coat pocket. "Oh, I almost forgot. As promised, I read your ghost story book." In his hand he held a hard cover edition of my second book entitled: Limbo, Mississippi: A Ghost Story. The plastic cover book jacket had a library tag. "You borrowed it?" I asked. "From the library?" He grinned. "Okay, let's call it borrowed." "Aw, c'mon man, for the love of God, you're an archangel, would it kill you to break open your wallet and buy a copy?" "You're rich enough, McCluskie," he said, laughing. "Now, for the review." He made a sour face. "It was okay, nothing special, but okay. A passing grade." He tapped the book with a finger. "The problem is, your story is better than your writing. Hopefully, one day the writing will catch up." "Maybe you'll like my time travel book better. It's entitled: Broken Time. It just came out." He turned up his nose. "I don't know, McCluskie. One of your books is enough for me." "You should give this one a chance. The grade ten English classes at Rockaway High School will be reading it this semester." "Really?" he questioned, his smile beaming. "I can't believe it. Jacob McCluskie, part of modern literature." He shook his head, still smiling. "The great ones are turning over in their graves." "Thanks for your continued support." "Anytime," he said, laughing...

Broken Time

By: Douglas J. McGregor

Society is crumbling before Jake McCluskie's eyes. A desperate tension fills the streets as frightened people attempt to flee. The clock is ticking down to zero, but Jake has already lost all hope. As an extinction-class meteorite rockets toward Earth, Jake knows the end is near. But he is going nowhere or so he thinks. Jake, a one-time promising author and now full-time bus driver, is still grieving and angry after the murder of his wife three years ago. Although he has chosen to live out his last days at home with his cat, Jake soon learns destiny has other plans for him. He has been chosen to fix time and it is no easy repair. With crazed killers lurking everywhere, Jake embarks on a heart-pounding race through the empty streets of Queens, New York, in search of the Timekeeper the only one who can send him back to September of 1938, when a college student important to the flow of time was brutally murdered during a violent hurricane. Now only time will tell if Jake can survive long enough to get there. In this science fiction thriller, it is up to one man to find the Timekeeper and set things right before mankind disappears forever.

Killing Time Till I Die

By: Douglas J. McGregor

Jake McCluskie is back Last time, he was the Redeemer, and he redeemed three souls and found Hells Codes for the Angel of Death. This time, McCluskie is Morning Stars Dog, let off his leash to stop the Horseman Pestilence from unleashing a plague that will exterminate Mankind. Something, I said, I dont know what the hell it wasblocked the hole. The Devils eyebrows twitched as he regarded me. His fingers moved, and a chair pulled away from the table. He opened his coat and sat. What did this thing look like? Picture something covered in black hair about the size of a dump truck with arms and legs and a head. It picked me up, sniffed me, and then tossed me halfway across the warehouse. All I have to say is yes, ouch, it sure hurt when I hit the wall. The Devil sighed. Stop complaining. Do you have any more of that rot-gut Cognac? Because I need a drink. You knew this creature had to be bad when even the Devil needed a drink. I need a drink too. I climbed to my feet, my back and ribs aching. You drank all the Cognac last night. Ive got beers in the fridge. I hobbled to the kitchen, dug two cans of Bud from the fridge and plunked down his can in front of him. There you go, 24 ounces of Bud. He sipped on his can of beer, and grimaced. Why dont you have a stocked liquor cabinet? Even do-gooder Catholics drink. And the Mrs. has blown so you wont get nagged because you have a few bottles of hooch lying around. I wasnt expecting company, and may I askhow bad is this creature? Lets just say this swill Im drinking isnt making it. May I have clarification on how bad it is? The word bad doesnt even come close to describing it. Its probably the worse case scenario you could think of. I took a hit of beer. Thanks for sugar coating it. A team of bakery chefs couldnt sugar coat this disaster. Do you know what crawled out of Oblivion? I mean, aside from Luther. Its Mohana, the Devil said flatly. Mohana of the Chaos Hold.

Paper Tigers, Hidden Dragons

Firms and the Political Economy of China's Technological Development

By: Douglas B. Fuller

China presents us with a conundrum. How has a developing country with a spectacularly inefficient financial system, coupled with asset-destroying state-owned firms, managed to create a number of vibrant high-tech firms? China's domestic financial system fails most private firms by neglecting to give them sufficient support to pursue technological upgrading, even while smothering state-favoured firms by providing them with too much support. Due to their foreign financing, multinational corporations suffer from neither insufficient funds nor soft budget constraints, but they are insufficiently committed to China's development. Hybrid firms that combine ethnic Chinese management and foreign financing are the hidden dragons driving China's technological development. They avoid the maladies of China's domestic financial system while remaining committed to enhancing China's domestic technological capabilities. In sad contrast, China's domestic firms are technological paper tigers. State efforts to build local innovation clusters and create national champions have not managed to transform these firms into drivers of technological development. These findings upend fundamental debates about China's political economy. Rather than a choice between state capitalism and building domestic market institutions, China has fostered state capitalism even while tolerating the importing of foreign market institutions. While the book's findings suggest that China's state and domestic market institutions are ineffective, the hybrids promise an alternative way to avoid the middle-income trap. By documenting how variation in China's institutional terrain impacts technological development, the book also provides much needed nuance to widespread yet mutually irreconcilable claims that China is either an emerging innovation power or a technological backwater. Looking beyond China, hybrid-led development has implications for new alternative economic development models and new ways to conceptualize contemporary capitalism that go beyond current domestic institution-centric approaches.

Itch

By: Douglas J. McGregor

On an earth-size planet in the Centaurus Constellation, a paranormal investigator, his talking dog Hugo, and an abandoned orphan boy attempt to save Mankind from the deadly scourge of “Itch”. “They wanted the kids,” Max said, “they wanted the orphans, they wanted the seven of us.” “Why?” the dog asked, and looked at me, shaking his head in wonder. “They wanted us for ‘Itch’,” the boy continued. “What’s that?” I asked. “I don’t know, Taylor,” he admitted, and shurgged. “All they kept talking about was ‘‘Itch’,” and he shrugged again and added, “By the way they were talking, ‘Itch’ must be real important.” Hugo jumped up in alarm and ran around the kitchen table. He barked shrilly few times and stopped in front of me, his expressions cold sober. “We have to talk,” he said sternly. “We have to talk now-in private.”

The Human Side of Enterprise, Annotated Edition

By: Douglas McGregor

“What are your assumptions (implicit as well as explicit) about the most effective way to manage people?” So began Douglas McGregor in this 1960 management classic. It was a seemingly simple question he asked, yet it led to a fundamental revolution in management. Today, with the rise of the global economy, the information revolution, and the growth of knowledge-driven work, McGregor's simple but provocative question continues to resonate-perhaps more powerfully than ever before. Heralded as one of the most important pieces of management literature ever written, a touchstone for scholars and a handbook for practitioners, The Human Side of Enterprise continues to receive the highest accolades nearly half a century after its initial publication. Influencing such major management gurus such as Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis, McGregor's revolutionary Theory Y-which contends that individuals are self-motivated and self-directed-and Theory X-in which employees must be commanded and controlled-has been widely taught in business schools, industrial relations schools, psychology departments, and professional development seminars for over four decades. In this special annotated edition of the worldwide management classic, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, Senior Research Scientist in MIT's Sloan School of Management and Engineering Systems Division, shows us how today's leaders have successfully incorporated McGregor's methods into modern management styles and practices. The added quotes and commentary bring the content right into today's debates and business models. Now more than ever, the timeless wisdom of Douglas McGregor can light the path towards a management style that nurtures leadership capability, creates effective teams, ensures internal alignment, achieves high performance, and cultivates an authentic, value-driven workplace--lessons we all need to learn as we make our way in this brave new world of the 21st century.
