This is an incredible coffee table book based on the Alien and Prometheus saga of films and an absolute must-have. It is a handsomely bound hardcover at just under 170 pages. The outside cover is textured with tiny embossed Weyland-Yutani emblems and has a small slipcover that reaches around the spine to the back. The presentation of the book is absolutely breathtaking. As an Alien fanatic, this is a real treat and a true gem that belongs in any collector's library. We rarely get anything this cool and unique. It is presented as being in-universe, written as if somebody from Weyland-Yutani were to read it. It is filled with little goodies, cutaways, foldouts, and neat material.The premise of the WY Report is that after the events in Alien Resurrection, the company puts together a file of its research backlog regarding the xenomorph, and its relation to the Weyland Corporation (later Weyland-Yutani,) Ripley, and further still, the United Systems Military. To play catch up, the Weyland Corp was founded by Peter Weyland in 2012, Weyland Corp merges with cybernetics rival Yutani in 2099, giving birth to WY as we know it. Nearly 100 years later, the USM is formed, and nearly 250 years later, megacorporations are officially banned, causing Weyland-Yutani to fold. The USM is phased out after the Auriga crashes into planet Earth during the final act of Resurrection, thus giving birth to Weyland-Yutani once more. This is the lead-up to the book.Inside the book are numerous sections, that give a very thorough look into the lore and mythos of the Alien saga. It starts with a timeline, detailing the 2000s up to the 2400s chronologically. Next, there is a section detailing the original Big Chap Alien, codenamed XX121. Its basic life cycle stages are detailed over the course of a few pages. It explains about the Nostromo crew's encounter with the creature, from Kane's attack, to Ash's observations of the facehugger, continuing further to the chestburster, and finally ending with the Drone. The artwork is awesome!! You can tell it's digital but it is very high quality.There is also a section regarding the Queen early on, where WY scientists list their speculations and theories about its life, purpose, hierarchy, etc.The next section concerns "the proud history of Weyland-Yutani," and is aptly-named. It details the formation of the Weyland Corporation in 2012, to its later merger with competitor Yutani in 2099, to everything inbetween. In this section, we learn about David's creation and his legacy for other WY-produced androids, or as the book refers to them as, "artificial persons." We also learn about Call, an artificial person, where after an off-world revolt, escapes a purge where "her" kind were retired in a scheme similar to 1982's "Blade Runner." In this section, we are also educated on WY's great technological feats, such as atmospheric processing, cryostasis, faster-than-light tech, medpods, amongst other items.Continuing further, the next section details the journey of the USCSS Prometheus, to the planetoid LV-223. Crew profiles are listed, the ship itself is broken down and specs are listed, and we get a good look at the Juggernaut ship, piloted by Engineers. There is little information about the Engineers themselves, and some information is "redacted." The redacted parts of the book are holographic and change colors and patterns when you look at them differently. Also in this section, we learn about the black goo, or the "Accelerant," that infects Fifield, and eventually, Dr. Holloway. The creatures encountered on LV-223 get their own pages of info.The next section follows suit and focuses on the USCSS Nostromo and its fateful trip to LV-426 after its crew awaken from stasis on WY company orders. We get some handsome artwork of the vessel itself, and full crew biographies. We also learn about Special Order 937, and WY's regret towards the LV-426 excursion, where they claim "we would have sent a team of 120-A2's," hinting that a team of androids like Ash would have fared better in retrieving a full, unharmed specimen. In this same section we also learn about the quarantine breach initiated by Ash, and going further on, learn about Ripley and her legacy.The next two sections concern the following two films in the Alien series, namely, Aliens, and Alien3. They are all packed with similar diagrams, cutaways, and technical info. The section about Alien 3 has an excerpt of the book "Space Beast" written in-universe by Robert Morse, the only surviving prisoner from Fury 161. There's also a tongue-in-cheek joke about "Vincent," the faceless prisoner referenced in lore but never shown.The last two chapters are about Alien Resurrection and the universe post-A:R. Technical, medical, and scientific benefits of harvesting the xenomorph specimens are shown, and present an interesting look at what could be, were WY to get their evil way.It ends on a hopeful note-- the company is still hoping to harvest an intact xenomorph and reap its powers. This book is an introspective of the franchise, and while some may find this book "too much" to dive into, it presents a tiny window into our favourite film universe, as if we lived in it, and had access to this insider info.I give this book 5/5 stars, and I wish I could rate it more. It is truly an awesome book, especially considering the price. From its sturdy, handsome bind, to its unique and deep look at the Alien saga, Insight Editions knocked this out of the park!I am a host of Perfect Organism, a podcast about the Alien saga. We can be found on Podbean and Facebook! I give this book my blazing recommendation and approval. Passing up on this book is a huge mistake!

This is a good summary of the 4 Alien movies + Prometheus. The original artwork is very well detailed, including cutaways of the dropship and APC from Aliens and full color drawings of each of the main ships from the movies. The Prometheus was rather disappointing, though, as it's drawing was only of the front third or so. They really should have added a cutaway of that ship as well. This book adds a little bit of background info not in the movies, written in universe from the perspective of someone working at Weyland-Yutani. One of the most disappointing aspects of this book, though, is how much technical information was appropriated, uncredited, from the Colonial Marines Tech Manual from about 20 years ago. This included some of the physics of the ships, such as the lithium hydride fuel of the Sulaco. Overall, it could have used more original drawings, such as the ships and the alien pictures, and less of the movie photos.

Yes this book is full of surprises. First off, let me just say SPOILERS! Let me just say that the timeline of events actually surprised me the most. If anyone here are fans of Alien Isolation, then good news. Amanda Ripley's adventures from that game was referenced in the timeline of events. Making that game canon to the films. The other thing that gave me the big surprise was the year 2219 AD in the timeline of events in this book. Here's why! The company(Weyland-Yutani) sent the ships "Geryon" and "Kadmos" to LV-223 in the year 2219 AD but contact was terminated. The reason why I'm surprised by this is because this book is referencing the events that happened in the Fire and Stone Comic. What is Fire and Stone you ask? Its a Comic Crossover Franchise Event that involves the franchises Prometheus, Aliens, AVP and Predator. In the Comic Prometheus Fire and Stone, it shows the ships Geryon and Kadmos on a mission to LV-223 led by Captain Angela Foster in the year 2219 AD. Okay that's enough spoilers. If you want to know about Fire and Stone, just buy the book Prometheus the Complete Fire and Stone Hardcover. Its available here on Amazon. I highly recommend reading that book. This book also mentioned names and places from novels. An example of this is LV-178. Which was featured in the novel Alien out of the shadows. Captain Brackett from Aliens River Of Pain was also mentioned in this book. This makes those novels canon to the films. What is not mentioned in this book are the events of the AVP Films and the game Aliens Colonial Marines. To be fair, the AVP Films was canon to the Alien Films. But those Films are contradicted by Ridley Scott's Prometheus Film and the timeline of events mentioned in this book. The director(Paul Anderson) of the first AVP Film mentioned in the making of AVP that after Charles Bishop Weyland's death, his company Weyland Industries was taken over by Yutani Corporation in modern times. This would mean Ms Yutani in AVPR was the head of Weyland-Yutani Corporation in modern times. This is however contradicted by the Films Prometheus since the movie shows that Weyland Corporation hasn't merged yet with Yutani Corporation. And Prometheus takes place on LV-223 in the year 2093 AD. This book further contradicts this by saying Weyland Corporation merged Yutani Corporation in the year 2099 AD. Lets also mentioned the Fire and Stone Comic Event seeing Dark Horse Comics also doesn't consider the AVP Films canon with their current comics of Alien, Prometheus, Predator and AVP. Bottomline AVP is non canon to the Alien Films. As for Aliens Colonial Marines being non canon to the Alien Films, lets just say non of the events in that game was mentioned in this book. So its also non canon to the Alien Films. Thank You 20th Century Fox for making things right. I can go on and on telling what I read in this book. But that would be revealing way too much. So I'll stop the review right here. I have no regrets buying this book. If this book however becomes non canon, so what? To me this was still a fun read and I highly recommend this book. This deserves a 5 out of 5.

Overall the content is decent, but Time has given this book a black eye. Some of the companies touted as models to follow are in dire straits now or went out of business. Fannie Mae, praised as one of the banks to go Good to Great, has fallen into the trash heap since 2008 and has never recovered. This happened 7 years after the book was written. Circuit City, another Good to Great, doesn't even exist anymore, at least by name and as a brick-n-mortar store. Wells Fargo, a good to great awardee, aren't so noble anymore given their recent scandals. In the 2010's, Wells Fargo perpetrated some of the poor behaviors the book claimed they avoided through the 80's and 90's which led them to Great. The book is VERY well researched in its time frame, but a lot of it in my opinion is antiquated. 90% of the data is taken from the pre-Internet era, the ball field is much different now. Some of the points are valid and helpful, some are senseless. I did glean a few nuggets from the book that made it worth my time, but 1/3 of the way through this book I dreaded finishing it. You'd be better reading Simon Sinek's Start With Why.

This is the first business book I've ever read, so I'm not very famillar with the genre, but I enjoyed this. I am not interested in being a CEO or anything like that, but I liked this book because many of the concepts talked about can be applied to my own life. I saw this as more of a general self improvement book that used businesses as examples of concepts, rather than a book solely about business.

This book has been on my list for quite a while and now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long! Jim Collins and his team provide some fantastic insights that aren't just based upon a popular fad opinion, but are actually backed up by studies.If you are a leader or desire to be one, this is a must read. He speaks to much more than just trends, but to actual character. As a fairly charismatic person, I found it interesting to see some of the downsides of charisma. I really appreciated his approach to discussing the power of clarity and consistency.Now that I've read the book, I see it's themes running through so many other books like, "Start With Why". This is a classic and I can not recommend it highly enough.

Wow. My husband was reading this for professional development, and we started reading it together. I am a nurse and have no experience in business, but this book was so relevant to every aspect of life. Very interesting concepts, and a good read. Even if you're not in the business sector I strongly suggest this book for a really interesting perspective on how to approach all aspects of life (as these findings apple to everything)!.

Jim Collins presents many interesting business concepts throughout Good to Great. The research conducted for this book is complicated however Collins simplifies the process to more clearly explain why some things were included or omitted. Through the research, many concepts are presented and then emphasized using comparisons between two similar companies. At times the transformation of a specific company solely based on use of the concepts seems hard to believe. However Collins does give enough evidence to support the importance of the concepts to be used as tools to help the company transition from good to great. The concept being the most important in my opinion was having upper management to be brutally honest. Many companies fail to face the facts and it's easy to see in this book the consequences. The book was published about 15 years ago and since then one of the “great” companies has gone out of business (Circuit City) and another one is currently in trouble (Wells Fargo). So it is interesting to analyze what concepts the companies stopped implementing that made them so successful years ago. Overall this book was an interesting and easy to understand read that appeals to not just those in upper management, but also to those who want to know what can make a company great.

A wonderful anthology on the right and necessary steps a growing concern must continue to take if they are to remain viable in todays society and ready for the future.. As a CEO, you must be above the fray of everyday operations and keep a keen eye on the future and potential innovations. For example, when Sears gave up the catalog in the early 1990's, the potential of the internet was just beginning to raise its capacity to greatly influence a new way of doing business. If the Sears executives had not been so busy trying to save a buck and give up the catalog, maybe it could have retained its millions of dedicated shoppers and innovated along the lines of the internet that we know today as Amazon.Bezos, of Amazon, was a hedge fund manager in the late 1980's. How did he become some a relevant whole seller with a revolutionary way of delivery in the late 90's. This is the clear message that I got from Good To Great. You must be willing to boldly assault the future and at the same time question if this is the right way to go. That way your organizations will not become complacent and our managerial core will be a group of activists and futurists. That's how you keep going from Great To Even Greater. Good To Great is fine. But now you must take the next step.

It's hard to know what to say about this book. People love it, and love what it says, but several of the companies profiled turned out to be cooking their books, cheating customers, etc... Wells Fargo, Sallie Mae, GE... So I'm left wondering, were these companies extraordinarily successful because of the processes and ideas presented in the book, or was their extraordinary success based on cheating. I just can't take the book's advice seriously given the track record of several of the companies studied. Maybe if you're passionate about being the best, and you want to be the best in the world, and make tons of money doing it [your hedgehog]- you break the rules to get ahead?? Not the advice I'm looking for....
