Tenser's Tirades

<I><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Tenser's Tirades</I> documents the obsession of self-styled author/consultant/evangelist James Tenser with the astonishing phenomenon of dot-com retailing. This collection of 32 essays appeared over a period of about five years in a dozen leading retail trade periodicals. Collectively they track the early promise exhilarating rise and stunning demise of born-for-the-Web retailing through a series of snapshots taken in the moment. As one of the earliest observers to grasp and comment upon the unvarnished realities of e-retailing Tenser was right more often than he was wrong but as these rants reveal he never kept his opinions to himself. </P>
