This work provides biographical details of all thirty-two finalists for the seven coveted places as America's pioneering astronauts. All of the candidates were among the nation's elite pilots involved in testing new supersonic aircraft capabilities. Most had served as wartime fighter and bomber pilots; some were test pilots on top secret and sophisticated aviation projects, while others were fleet admirals, prisoners of war, and proposed pilots for spaceflight programs such as the Dyna-Soar (X-20). The names of all 32 finalists have been kept secret until very recently. 'Selecting the Mercury Seven' also relates the history and difficulties behind the initial choice of candidates. The lives, motivations, military careers, and achievements of the unsuccessful twenty-five finalists are explored first in fully authorized biographies. Test pilots for the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, each man has a fascinating and very different story to tell. All thirty-two men had to endure meticulous, demeaning, and brutal week-long medical examinations at the Lovelace Clinic in New Mexico. This was followed by another torturous week at the Wright Aeromedical Laboratory in Ohio, where they were subjected to extreme fitness and physiological testing, the sole purpose of which was to sort out the Supermen from the near-supermen. The final part of the book examines the accomplishments and spaceflights of the seven successful candidates, bringing their amazing stories right up to date. 371 pp. Englisch.

Anything that illuminates thesepowershifts is valuable for the fast-moving decision-maker, andin this respect Asian versus Western Management Thinking is afirst-rate inquiry into cultural business behaviors. Insular frameworksof thinking and action matter less by the second. I'm anAnd/And practitioner and my experience of bridging businessbetween East and West, and vice versa, suggests we need toknow the human distinctions that matter and the harmoniesthat will matter even more. Between the covers of this book byKimio Kase and colleagues, business moves forward.'Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi, Lovemarks Company'Having lived and worked my entire life in various countriesaround the world, I agree with the authors' premise that Asiansand Westerners often approach business problems from differentangles. Rather than focusing on differences, I welcome thestrength that comes from diversity. As my experience atRenault and Nissan has demonstrated, the richest solutionscome when ideas are challenged or questioned by people whohave a different perspective. This book illustrates the value ofaccepting diverging ideas as a fact of life that can be used toenhance the world in which we all live and work.'Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Renault-Nissan Alliance'A most welcome addition to the unbalanced managementliterature about the 'analytical' West and the 'synthetic' East.For too long the field has been dominated by comparisons ofcultural value systems which paradoxically tell us precious littleabout how habits of mind influence management thinking andpractice in different parts of the world over time. At a timewhen the world's economic centre of gravity is visibly shiftingto Asia, this really is a most timely book.'Nigel Holden, Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for International Business at the University of Leeds, UK 404 pp. Englisch.
