More Than They Promised: The Studebaker Story
Publisher: Stanford University Press |
| ISBN: 0804735867 List Price: $49.95 Amazon Price: $31.47 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: Self-inflicted tragedy I was born in South Bend and my neighbors and relatives worked at Studebaker. This book is an excellent portrait of a company sliding inexorably downhill. Some of the factors that killed Studebaker were internal (labor relations, high unit costs, lack of due diligence about the company's condition in the Packard merger) and some were external (George Romney's refusal to form a fourth major out of American Motors). Discussed in detail are the beautiful cars Studebaker built and their skill in managing the difficult transition from wagonmakers to automakers. (Lincoln rode in a Studebaker carriage to Ford's theater) Bonsall doesn't hesitate to point out the flaws and missteps Studebaker made, though. This book is an affectionate portrait of an American company that was part of the landscape for a century and has now vanished without a trace. Recommended. Summary: An interesting look.... "More Than They Promised" was an excellent read. It detailed the entire history of Studebaker from its beginnings as wagon makers to its entry into the manufacture of automobiles. Particularly interesting was the postwar era, especially after the disasterous merger with Packard. It SHOULD have worked, but in reality it was a total failure. The Sherwood Egbert era was very well detailed with his last-ditch efforts to save the automobile operations of what had by then become a conglomerate. At the time of their death, cars were but a small part of the empire. I am fascinated by the Studebaker story, although I was only 8 years old when the last Studebaker was produced. I have often wondered what would have happened had they survived. Would they have survived the increasingly oppressive government safety and emission requirements? Would they have survived the fuel crises of '73 and '79? I have had the pleasure of visiting the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, IN. Having seen these beautiful cars, particularly the "Loewy coupes" of 1953-55, I couldn't help but draw the conclusion that Studebaker was too far ahead of their customers. Even if you are not a "car geek" as I am, you would likely enjoy reading "More Than They Promised". Summary: studebaker enthusiast must read awesome cronological of a great car company that should still be producing cars today Summary: |

Studebaker Cars: Studebaker Hawks and Larks 1956-63 (Brooklands Road Tests S.)
Publisher: Brooklands Books |
| ISBN: 094648919X List Price: $19.95 Amazon Price: $12.97 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 2 Reviews: Summary: Lost Opportunity This book could have been a great one. As with other books in this series from the editor, there are no color photos, only black and white. The book includes a number of reviews of the Hawk and Lark from automotive magazines which are interesting, but it misses the mark. The articles seem to be photocopies, the pictures are not at all clear and many of the articles are from Australia, not Studebakers biggest market. All in all, the articles are interesting but the execution of the printing of them is faulty. It would be cheaper to just photocopy the articles, with the same quality. Summary: |

Wisdom for a Lifetime: How to Get the Bible Off the Shelf and into Your Hands
Publisher: Unity Books (Unity School of Christianity) |
| ISBN: 0871592061 List Price: $14.95 Amazon Price: $14.95 Usually ships in 24 hours |
Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Unlock the Wisdom for Yourself Wisdom for a Lifetime is a well-written, engaging book which has made my study of the Bible deeper and more meaningful. While I have grown up in Unity and had passing familiarity with a number of well-known Bible stories and verses, I had never really studied the Bible. I was intrigued by the concept of Rev. Studebaker's book and found it able to re-ignite my interest in the Bible. It gave me insights into additional study tools which have enriched my study. Wisdom also helped me to select a Bible that built upon my childhood exposure, yet was understandable for me today. And to my benefit, the book has truly helped get my Bible into my hands on a regular basis for the first time in my life. I strongly recommend this book for anyone seeking to unlock the wisdom of the Bible for themselves. Summary: Bringing Gods words into my family's life I would like to thank author Alden Studebaker for his gifted talent for providing a path for my family and I to study the bible together. His writings have not only brought my family closer together but has shown us how we may search to better understand Gods word. The reviewer who claims to be a Unity Minister clearly does not understand those of us who every Sunday sit and listen to Ministers who read and study the good book everyday. The reviewer needs to spend more time LISTENING to the flock than listening to himself. Thanks again Alden Studebaker, your book has opened up a new begining for my family. Summary: A Good Book on the Good Book Too many people don't read the Bible and if they only would, their lives would be immeaurably richer. They would find Wisdom for the whole of their lives if they did. This is the theme of this charming, lighthearted, yet scholastically sound book on learning how to read and interpret the best-selling and least-read book of all time, the Bible. When you pick up a Bible, it can seem daunting but author Studebaker assures us that there are many things you can do to ease the pain. He trains the reader on how to select a Bible, how to find supplementary books to provide special insights, and then gives, rather remarkably, I think, lenses by which the reader can practice seeing a Bible passage from NINE different points of view. The main focus, all the time, is to help the reader want to use the Bible to find answers to his or her life questions. I find this extraordinary. I also love the fine balance between intellect and intuition this book advocates. To me, scripture of any kind deserves both. There is a reviewer who claims to be a "Unity minister" and yet shows little understanding of this balance in his review of this book. Just because Studebaker recommends Bibles who have more than one translator, doesn't mean he doesn't find the Lamsa version useful. In fact, he says that he does. I'm a Lamsa fan myself but this doesn't keep me from realizing that it is unlikely that his version came from an original Aramaic text. That said, his Bible is still fresh and insightful. What's more, Studebaker nevers says you shouldn't use a Bible outside of his "recommended list." In fact, he DOES say that he recommends that we choose whatever version we will actually read! Also, to say that the Lamsa Bible is loved by "all Truth students" is gross exaggeration. It is simply not true. The reviewer's comments are so out of place and irrelevant to the book in question that I wonder if he may not have a special agenda; I do smell a vendetta against the author! For example, the "wisdom" the reviewer objects to is never intended to be the wisdom of Studebaker's book but the wisdom of the Bible. This is so obvious--but not to our reviewer. What he erroneously accuses Studebaker of doing in his book, our reviewer demonstrates in his review, namely nitpicking and losing his spiritual focus! I, also a Unity minister, Bible interpreter, and Lamsa fan, strongly recommend WISDOM FOR A LIFETIME as the best book out there on how to get the Bible off the shelf and into your hands! Summary: |
