Mama said there'd be days like this, right? In this
month's book roundup, motherly advice is given its due:
"Mom's timeless wisdom, her fundamental values, are
desperately needed, as well as enormously effective, in business
life today," writes Rhonda Abrams in Wear Clean Underwear:
Business Wisdom From Mom (Villard Books, $22.95). Aside from an
undeniably catchy title, Wear Clean Underwear rates a read
for its down-to-earth truisms.
For a wackier time, check out David Lindsay's The Patent
Files: Dispatches From the Frontiers of Invention (The Lyons
Press, $22.95). If you've ever wondered whether you're a
Thomas Edison in waiting, this book could tip the scales.

Finally, assess the communication skills of yourself and others
in Straight Talk: Turning Communication Upside Down For
Strategic Results at Work (Davies-Black Publishing, $26.95).
Eric F. Douglas may not be as plain-spoken as Mom, but his
Straight Talk gets points for its attention to detail. No
failures to communicate here.
