and as a bonus, "advanced mode" reading (less accessible to the lay person, generally very technical or otherwise difficult to read and understand) Christensen - The Innovator's Dilemma  @tubetime There were 3 or 4 of those that I read and they were... fine, not outstanding. OTOH, I really, really enjoyed the Stoll (although it's probably not very educational). Mind you, reading that was over 25 years ago, so maybe things have changed, but I just remember it being such a lot of fun. I should probably re-read.  @tubetime |
