The Quotable Tycoon is a collection of instructive and often outrageous perspectives on business by the world's most powerful corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, past and present. Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Warren Buffett, John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford are among the scores of tycoons from North America, Europe and Asia whose hundreds of witty and provocative comments are augmented with reflections on business by such varied observers as Winston Churchill, Peter Drucker, Mark Twain and Mae West. The quotes, arranged alphabetically by subject, describe every aspect of business life, from egomania, bureaucratic infighting and mangled mergers, to the urgent issues of global competition, employee empowerment, customer satisfaction and corporate social responsibility. Each quote is accompanied by a short commentary that puts it in context and provides historical perspective. The Quotable Tycoon is an indispensable handbook for anyone who seeks a deeper insight into the inner workings of the business mind.

Endometriosis is on a worldwide increase and carries with it serious implications for women's reproductive health. Endometriosis in Clinical Practice brings together international experts to demonstrate what is known about the condition and the corresponding clinical implications for the patient suffering from it. Unlike many other books on this subject that are geared towards the patient or excessively focused on research, this one also answers the questions and meets the needs of the diagnosing physician. With the aid of color illustrations, the book highlights clinical topics such as epidemiology, assessment of health status, and endometriosis and ART. It covers everything you need to know about the disease, its diagnosis, and its management.
