Stanley Adams Books

Charles Partridge Adams was a major Colorado landscape painter during the 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the mountains and plains of his area and producing Colorado landscapes which earned him acclaim. The collaborative effort of Dorothy Dines, Stephen J. Leonard, and Stanley L. Cuba, The Art Of Charles Partridge Adams reproduces some ninety of his works of Colorado, California, New England and Europe alike, including some preliminary sketches and journal selections to round out the offerings. A lively tribute to Adams and his life's work

This book is the major source for both artistic and historical information about Adams, widely considered to be Colorado's finest impressionist landscape painter. Adams is best known for his stunning views of snowy mountain peaks in early morning or sunset light, or wreathed in storm clouds, and for his luminous twilight and sunset paintings of the river bottoms near Denver.

My wife and I have one of his watercolor paintings. It was in an old antique shop. It is a mountain stream painting with mountain background.

Charles Partridge Adams (1858-1942) is widely considered to have been Colorado's finest landscape painter, best-known for his stunning views of snowy mountain peaks in early morning or sunset light, or wreathed in storm clouds, and for his luminous twilight and sunset paintings of the river bottoms near Denver. His paintings are best characterized as impressionistic and subjective. This lavish book contains 92 full-color illustrations of his work in both oils and watercolors, as well as three historical essays about Adams' life and work. A unique feast for those who love the Rocky Mountains and impressionism.

This handbook is an essential tool to anyone in the environmental field. There are always new additions, so having a recent copy helps but it's not necessary since the environmental laws don't change that much. I would recommend getting a newer edition when a major law has passed so that the reader can understand the impact the new law will have on their community. A copy can usually be found at either the public library or a law library but there is SO MUCH information packed into this book that I highly recommend having your own copy so you can hi-light the text and bookmark the important sections that apply to your business.

I am very blessed to have gotten it in the nick of time. I had time to read some of the book before my classes started.

This Environmental Law Handbook has proven to be an invaluable resource to me as an environmental mediator and public involvement specialist. I use it constantly so that I can be technically sharp at work. It's dry reading, but very valuable! Paired with the Consensus Building Handbook by Susskind et al, it is the core of any environmental and public policy specialist.

Thomas Sullivan provides a clear, consise, and easy to use reference guide for anyone to use. This book not only contains actual text of some major environmental laws, but it also sites case studies and court decisions, all in an easy to read format. This book is a must for anyone dealing in environmental matters, and is a good source of reference for anyone concerned with the environment and public policy.

Helpful, readable, and affordable. I loved this book, good insight and original information. Perhaps not as large and expensive as other job books, but much more applicable; and I believe it got me a job.

Loved this book. I have been out of work for the past 14 months. I left a full time corporate position to be a full time caretaker for my father who recently passed on. Little did I know that getting back into the workplace would be so difficult. I feel penalized for having made the decision to do so. I am in my middle 50's and am realizing that my age is probably a factor in my employability.

This book was much better than the "what color is your parachute" book. The info is succint, practical, and gives
one hope of securing the right position for any reader.

After reading many job hunting books, including the "parachute book" I decided to visit my local Borders and gather more resources. After selecting 10 or so books to peruse, I decided on Mr. Wynett's book because it read well and got to the point of the search and how to make mine more effective.

Using the book, I restructured my resume and cover letter. I earnestly began soliciting myself with the new resume on February 1st. By the end of that week I received a few phone calls and emails of interest. In the next two weeks I scheduled 4 interviews that led to 2 offers and I accepted one today, February 20th.

I am not sure if it is coincidence or not, but, I have to believe the following the advice in the book and making the suggested resume changes are what did it for me. Having been unemployed since September 19, 2005, I am totally elated to have found a job with excellent pay and benefits. I actually did not settle, I got to pick and take control of my situation.

If you are looking for a book that deals with the business of job hunting and how to do it successfully, this is the book you need to read.

As a jaded laid-off former corporate drone/worker bee, this book breathes new life into the possibilities of being employed AND happy. From the beginning of this book, I realized that my attitude was all wrong. The first couple of chapters will get the fire started under your heels and give you inspiration to
start that dreaded job hunt or resume revision. My stomach used to turn at the thought of having to look at my resume, but perhaps that is why I never heard from anyone. "The Job Hunter's Crystal Ball" emphasizes the personal touch. My
resume has the personlity of a dial tone--on a good day. I actually look forward to a complete overhaul of my resume, really jazzing it up and having it convey my true abilities and nature to a prospective employer.

This book breaks down all of the manager/HR jargon that I needed to know. I found out what was probably happening to the endless resumes which I sent out after being canned. In addition, "The Job Hunter's Crystal Ball" opened my eyes
into how to answer the lamest questions one often encounters in a job interview. Ever more helpful, the book tackles the sticky SALARY issue. I was always lousy at this. Not anymore!!

I overcame all fears which I had about the application, resume and interview processes after reading this book. I felt confident that I could walk into Any Company, USA and seal the deal--pardon the cliche. It's true. Sure, some of the
info I knew, but the presentation and positive nature of the book really made me do a 180 in my attitude. I realize that an employer is not just looking at what you can do, but how well you can convince them that you are the wo/man for the job. I could never figure out why I wasn't getting jobs--I was smart enough, articulate enough, friendly enough, hardworking, etc. But something wasn't wowing them. The general advice I always receive is to "go in and sell yourself"; however, this book tells you HOW.

My options are open and I am trying to be more flexible regarding job opportunities. I think "The Job Hunter's Bible" would be just as appropriate, IMHO!

This is the ultimate account of a corporate whistleblower whose life was torn to shreds as a consequence. Not only did the European Commission successfully prosecute HLR as a result of Adams' information, but they stood by as both his and his family's lives were systematically destroyed. I read this book seven years ago and I still grit my teeth at any thought of Roche, the EC, and especially those god awful Swiss.

You MUST read this book. The more people who know the story, the better. Pharmaceutical cartels aren't as sexy as Big Tobacco, but Stanley Adams' ordeal blows even the dramatised Hollywood account of Big Tobacco's "Insider" completely out of the water.

This book has left a mark on my life and despite reading it over ten years ago I can still remember the tale in some detail. I recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand the true power of the multinnational

A most distrurbing tale of what happened to an executive of a Swiss pharmaceutical company after he had left the organisation.

Doing what he felt was right for the good of consumers and the EC, he passed cartel and shady dealing information to the European Parliament.

His subsequent arrest, the 'suicide' of his wife, and his ensuing struggle for freedom will bring a genuine tear to the eye of even the hardest reader.

I have tried to contact Stanley Adams and John Prescott (who assisted him in his plight) but to no avail.

All in all a gripping read - at times you will not beleive it is NON-fiction.

I read the book more than three years ago. Even though I have forgotten most of the details of Mr Adams's story, I am deeply impressed by this man's courage and ability of not showing even the slightest sign of grudge agaisnt those who have played him out. This shows that he is a very forgiving and loving guy. I admire him for the way in which he reacted to the whole incident. It's a very touching story, undeniably. May he live in peace and happiness forever.

My 8 yr old son loves the Adam Sharp books. He can't wait for the next one to be written. He's not an avid reader, so it's nice to see him excited to read a book. He felt it was not too easy or too hard to read...he's in second grade. He gave it a "thumbs up!"

This is one of the cleverest series being published for children. It is so funny, and Adam is so cool. My kids love these books - and the new format from Random House is really attractive. The artwork is wonderful, too. How cool is it to go swimming in a tuxedo, looking for sharks. Long live Adam Sharp!

hey ,

I liked this book. I am turning thirteen in four days too. I know this book is for second and third graders mostly but they're good. I was wondering if i could get an email adress or a website name for the author.Anyhow, this was a good book. I liked it-except maybe for the fact that adam never leaves his tux and patent leather shoes.

This is the perfect series for boys - at least our two sons think so. They're good readers but they've never liked to read until we found Adam Sharp. Now, we have all of the titles (which are well worn) and we can hardly wait for future titles. Long live Adam Sharp!!

My kids and I laughed and laughed as Adam Sharp and Magna Carter (great name!) tried to get Big Ben back from the Texans who had invaded London. This is a great series for kids who like spies. My sons hope to see Adam Sharp on televisio one of these days. A wonderful series.

My children love this book, because they all want to be spies. They think Adam Sharp is so cool. This is the first book in the series, and I hope the keeps going for years and years. It's great fun.

I have a [...] and [...]. They both enjoy the books from the Adam Sharp series. They amuse my [...]; and the writing is clear and just enough of a challenge for my [...] without getting frustrated. I would like to see more in the series.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and we were both very impressed by the detailed information of smokehouse design. We were disappointed however in the fact that the authors are so pushy in their enthusiastic use of nitrates in the recipes. We wanted to smoke our own meat for the very reason of avoiding these chemicals and no alternative recipes are given for smoking meat without them.

This is a great book on making quality smoked products. Even though a lot of technical knowledge is covered here, I still found it easy to follow when I was starting out (especially because the text is well written and supported with numerous illustrations). Smoking and cooking temperatures, as well as all rules and tips are presented and explained without a single wasted word; a very practical, "straight to the point" approach. I particularly like the excellent chapter on cures, nitrates and making brines using tables; it contains frequent references to the US standards for nitrate limits, cooking temperatures and recommended strengths of different brines in degrees, which is incredibly useful.

The second part of the book about building smokers is also outstanding, and the information on fire pit designs, baffles and smokehouse burners is simply magnificent.

Overall, this book strives to instill the confidence to take curing and meat smoking processes into your own hands and not have to rely on random recipes from the internet. In this, it thoroughly succeeds.

I had recently the pleasant plessure of reading a new book. Meat Smoking and Ssmokehouse Design by Stanley Marianski, impressed me before I was halfway trough the book. The information is written in a clear to understand and follow language. The information is firstclass and accurate. There are so many books on the market about meat processing, making sausages and many other meat related subjects that it is a real pleasure to see once in a great while a book of this sort actually worth reading and gaining knowledge from it.

As a certified Master Butcher I have no hesitation to recommend this superbly written and illustrated book to anyone interested in making sausages, curing and smoking meats. Regardless if you are beginner or a professional, this book should be on your bookshelf. In fact I would venture to say that this book should be required reading material on butcher trade schools too.

Links to internet sites for suppliers at the end of the book were particularly helpfull. All were current links.

If your a rookie like myself or someone with some smoking/curing experierience this is a must have book. Everything you need to know about all aspects of smoking/curing. From how to build a hasty smoker or (low budget) in emergency situations to some state of the art smokers. With several illustrations on how to build. The good thing about the book was if you were still in a confused state after reading you could go to the website and read through some of other recipies, then it becomes more clear how to get things done.
