Today's leadership adventures unfold in the rugged terrain of business, and who better than Lewis and Clark to lead us through its toughest challenges?If life is an adventure, no one will ever live it more fully than Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the rumored Northwest Passage, Lewis and Clark instead discovered a seemingly endless land whose very existence foretold a future America infinitely different from what had been imagined. May 2004 marks the beginning of a two-and-a-half year bicentennial celebration of their incredible journey and its significance to the history of America.Against staggering odds, these unique men inspired such absolute loyalty in each other and in their group that they are still widely regarded as the most successful leadership team in American history. Their story resonates with business leaders of our time because they had to:Think strategicallyMake tough and timely decisionsSurround themselves with good peopleManage resourcesMotivate the teamDeal with different culturesAssimilate information from many sourcesBalance long-term goals against short-term realitiesLearn from their mistakesTry new approachesMost importantly, they had to persevere and change course in the face of adversity. Their lessons will inspire business leaders to take their teams to new adventures of great discovery.

In Soldier, Statesman, Peacemaker, Jack Uldrich brings the life and achievements of General Marshall front and center -- where they have always belonged.No list of the greatest people of the 20th century is complete without General George C. Marshall. Winston Churchill called him the "organizer of victory" and "the last great American." President Harry Truman referred to him as the "great one of the age." Tom Brokaw called him the "godfather of the greatest generation."Even so, many people know Marshall's name without being able to recall his many astonishing accomplishments. Among them:He personally trained future generals Eisenhower, Bradley, Ridgeway, Patton, and others.As Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army before and during World War II, he oversaw its expansion from a small, homeland defense force -- smaller than Bulgaria's -- into the mightiest army ever assembled.As Secretary of State, he introduced the "Marshall Plan," which literally rescued Europe after the war.He was the first professional soldier ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize and was twice named Time's Man of the Year.In an extraordinary chronicle and analysis of legendary leadership, Marshall's extraordinary career reflects unparalleled leadership traits and consummate skills that every business leader can learn from, including: vision, candor, a commitment to action, the ability to listen and learn, and not least, selflessness.

What does nanotechnology have to do with your business? Plenty. If you don't believe it, go ahead and wait for the nanotech era to arrive. But don't be surprised when other forward-thinking companies get a head-start. Nanotechnology means that we can design and build materials from the ground up, atom by atom, to exact design specifications. If Levi's came to dominate the jeans market because they used nanostructured materials that have a softer feel than cotton, won't wrinkle, and can prevent stains, what happens to the denim sector? What about the local dry cleaner and laundry detergent makers? Uldrich and Newberry teach readers how to think strategically about nanotechnology and how to apply this newfound knowledge to make wise and profitable investment decisions. They will chronicle the factors driving nanotechnology's rapid developments and detail the events, forces and people who will usher in the next revolution.
