Peter Drucker was a force of nature when it comes to the development of the managerial mindset of the latter 20th century. Like Athena emerging fully grown and dressed for battle from the head of Zeus, Druckers ideas discovered and identified a framework for a practical philosophy of business that continues to be found useful as a tool to navigate the ever changing ebbs and flows of the uncertain seas of business from the local to the international. His work has been considered important and worthy of study. The Fellows of the Academy of Management voted Drucker s 1954 book The Practice of Management the third most influential book of the 20th century. Just to review the titles of his many books from 1939 to 2008 would bring you a structure for pursuing an understanding of the philosophy of business management. Among his many ideas, he early predicted the disappearance of the blue collar worker, the importance of nonprofits for improving the community of lives of those who help and those who have been helped, the necessity to adapt to changes with eyes firmly fixed in a forward direction, and the increasing importance of the knowledge worker and the need to keep learning to adapt to the changing world. The subject is broad but the dynamics beneath the hood are organic and distinct, and deepen with more study and attention. It is hoped that this introduction to Druckers thoughts and insights will serve as an inspiration to those preparing to cultivate their future in the business world for a better tomorrow.

Garabed Hagop Aaronian was Armenian, yet served in the Turkish Army as an Engineer-Officer -- this, in fact, is how he was able to survive and write "Under The Shadow of Death", his personal record of the Armenian genocide. His account takes an inside view of the atrocities he and many Armenians suffered. G.H. Aaronian vividly testifies to the horror of the torture and annihilation of his friends and family while describing moments of hope when he transformed the landscape of the genocide to help many people. He possessed a will to survive that was remarkable while earning credibility and respect from all those who came in contact with him. In his own words: "It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and may God have mercy upon the souls of those innocent people, my people, who suffered and died, many not even give the dignity of a grave. Lest their memory be forgotten by those who escaped the Jehennem (hell or a place of suffering), and for the generations to come, LET THIS BE A REMINDER". Aaronian's story is a warning of the depravity of the human condition and the hope offered by those who stand against it.
