Mark Twain's own words provide actor Richard Garey with plenty of picturesque prose. Mark Twain, aka author and humorist Samuel L. Clemens, arrives by riverboat to his childhood home in Hannibal, Missouri and deems the waterfront "the most beautiful on the Mississippi". He came home to Hannibal on several occasions and describes his waterfront hometown as he goes through the streets, reminiscing. Clemens shares his historic anecdotes and unique humor while visiting some of Hannibal's most historic sites in addition to some of the community's 21st century experiences and attractions.

DVDDASE9 REVIEW: Mark Twain's Hannibal, A Homecoming
"Modern day Hannibal, MO, is presented in relationship to one of its most famous writers. Richard Garey portrays Mark Twain (aka Samuel L. Clemens), who has returned to Hannibal to reminisce about his growing up on "the most beautiful (waterfront) on the Mississippi." Steamboat dockings from the 1800's are described in detail with the Mississippi River and a steamboat in the background. During a carriage ride through town, several locations important to Twain's writings are pointed out and their history is recounted.

Some of the incidents in Twain's boyhood are told along the way, and Garey shares Twain's unique humor through his words. Along with Hannibal's current historic attractions, B&Bs, restaurants, and art galleries are mentioned. Banjo music is featured throughout the production. Twain's southern accent might be difficult to understand in a few instances. A good choice to show classes after reading either The Adventures of Tom Sawyer of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, especially since the last scene in the film is from the former novel."

DVDDASE9 REVIEW: Mark Twain's Hannibal: A Homecoming
"Mark Twain impersonator Richard Garey takes his act and monologues to the street of Hannibal, Missouri. Along the way he visits some of the historic homes and buildings, local tourist attractions and main street businesses. Notable absent is any visit to Mount Olivet cemetery or the Hannibal public library - two other sites worthy of mention. This production contains some of the same material from Garey's Mark Twain Himself". Mark Twain Forum - Books and Media The Librarian's Yellow Pages

Decent if not a little shallow overview but full of typos
Format: Hardcover
Purchased thos book to consider passing to an employee eyeing a promotion. The information is ok to get the broad level concepts across for someone who has no thought about these concepts at all. However. Man. This book is riddled with more typos than my 2am half drunk reddit posts. Words that are missing spaces between them, phrases that change tense or intent of where the sentence was going to go ... It's pretty drole reading in general and the distractions do not help!

One of the best Project Management Books I've Read!
Format: Kindle
This was a really great read for many reasons. The focus on ensuring your project has a strategic purpose is so important these days, where Program and Project Managers need to make sure the projects they are leading are providing value to the organization. The framework is one that can be applied immediately with the explanation and tools provided in the book and on the author's website. The real-life stories and projects were not only fun to read, but very helpful in understanding how to apply the framework. The examples were very thorough and helpful. There is great information on what is needed from a PM to be successful including managing the team and stakeholders. On top of all that, when I got to Chapter 10 it was like a bonus chapter for me. Chapter 10's focus is on "managing your inner game", and has great information on ensuring you have the right mindset to be successful. Project Managers have the opportunity (and challenge) to work with many different personalities and in many challenging environments. This chapter provides really great information on how to navigate those waters and be successful. Chapter 10 could seriously be a book in itself. Chapter 12 was yet another bonus chapter, especially for lifelong learners. It's all about the idea of taking everything we've learned and applying it to our life. As the author states, our lives are essentially a project. Why not apply the same principles to ensure we are achieving our purpose and providing value, with yet again, really great examples to get us started. Anyone who leads or is involved in any kind of projects or who wants to work better in a team environment would benefit from reading this book.

Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective
Format: Hardcover
I told Terry Schmidt that would be a better title for his book, “Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective”. The time-tested Logical Framework Approach (LFA) that Terry champions goes far beyond project management. With its exploratory LogFrame matrix leading from inputs to outcomes, outcomes to purpose, and purpose to goal, the LFA forces you to understand the reason for the project. Projects are not executed for their own reason but to achieve something specific. The LogFrame traverses the ladder from inputs to goal through objectives with success measures, ways to verify success, and assumptions that must hold true be successful. Terry adds his own concept -- that he calls the Implementation Equation™ -- to help you build the LogFrame: IF inputs AND valid assumptions, THEN outcomes / IF outcomes AND valid assumptions, THEN purpose / IF purpose AND valid assumptions, THEN goal. This methodology offers you a way to view the LogFrame with multiple perspectives: scientific method, strategic planning, project management, risk management, management by objectives, and, although he does not mention it, also quality management. In particular, his use of assumptions has helped me to redefine my view of risk management. Rather than brainstorm a large list of possible risks in a registry that becomes impossible to manage, I use the probability that the assumptions needed for success are not valid – and their impact on achieving success, as the true risks that must be actively managed. A highly entertaining as well as informative book, “Strategic Project Management Made Simple”, or whatever you choose to call it, should be the first guide you reach for when building a portfolio, creating programs or products, or starting a project.
