The spectacular season turned in by the Auburn Tigers in 1998-99, when the SEC champions earned a No. I seed in the NCAA Tournament, is just the latest in a long line of outstanding achievements generated by the coaching of Cliff Ellis. In his nearly six years at Auburn, Ellis has led the rejuvenation of Tigers basketball, helping the school enjoy the high level of success it had not experienced since the days of NBA standouts Charles Barkley, Chuck Person, and Chris Morris. Since surprising all the doubters during his first season with the school, Ellis has helped build Auburn into a consistent winning program -- and one that exploded onto the national scene in 1999. Clearly, Cliff Ellis has worked his coaching magic once again, and he looks forward to leading Auburn basketball successfully into the new millennium.

Gerald D. Hines stands at the top of the international real estate investment and development world. A Purdue graduate with a degree in engineering, Hines may have arrived in Houston in 1948 for a nine-to-five job at a heating and air conditioning company, but before long he was making the deals that would transform Houston’s skyline. Later, with his revolutionary idea that great architecture was good business, he was reshaping the skylines of the world. Today, Hines is a respected global organization with a presence in 20 countries that has developed, redeveloped or acquired more than 1,100 properties. Raising the Bar: The Life and Work of Gerald D. Hines tracks one man’s incredible rise, from building small office/warehouses to manifesting Houston icons like The Galleria, One Shell Plaza, and Pennzoil Place to cultivating the national and then global expansion of his company. It paints the portrait of a man who himself is a study in contradictions: a child of the Depression and a citizen of the world; an engineer who still carries the slide rule that has guided his career yet commissions daring feats of art and architecture; a reserved and humble man in a field known for being brash and aggressive who takes on physical challenges with wild abandon. With enlivening anecdotes and revealing characterizations, Raising the Bar reveals the man behind the premier real estate company in the world like never before.
