City Slackers: How to Play the New Corporate Game and Win
With wit, humor, and complete seriousness, this motivational book shows aspiring business leaders how to win the corporate game without actually accomplishing anything.

Specific advice includes choosing soft projects with high visibility such as redesigning the company's logo, rotating key buzzwords into casual conversation, and becoming the ultimate "yes person" that appears to put the company first but cleverly undermines the management structure to move ahead. .

Brokers of Culture: Italian Jesuits in the American West, 1848-1919
Brokers of Culture examines the interactions among multiple ethnic groups in the American West and a group of nearly four hundred Italian Jesuits who emigrated to the United States after 1848 in the wake of the Italian unification movement. The first wave of exiles taught in Jesuit colleges on the East Coast, where they played a major role in reforming American seminary education. From their eastern base, the dispersed clerics moved to the frontier, shaping the evolution of culture in eleven western states. The Jesuits’ most powerful source of influence was their western colleges, which adhered to educational traditions brought from Europe while simultaneously meeting the needs of an ethnically mixed and mobile frontier population. .
