Clubs Books

A definite must read for women needing answers, guidance or motivation in helping them move forward from a broken heart. The author reveals truly inspiring and enlightening revelations in the journey of life after experiencing a devastating breakup. While it is geared toward women, men can certainly benefit from the open, honest and candid insights into the heart and soul. I found the book hard to put down and superbly written with an ease of style that is almost hypnotic. In the genre of self help books, "Club Shattered, the fast track back from a broken relationship" ranks an A+.

WOW! What Pz has been able to convey as to the extent of pain and emotional devastation after a breakup was truly illuminating. In these jaded times, I feel most of us have become so guarded of our inner feelings that we have become numb, therefore emotionally stunted in some ways, always worried how others will see us. Pz made me feel that I could embrace my pain and not feel I was an emotional cripple, that it is okay to share that pain with loved ones and she helped me to map out a path to healing. Everyday I apply her principles and every day I feel better about what lies ahead.

Club Shattered is not only a well thought out book on how to handle recovery from a bad relationship, it also is visualy presented in a manner that makes it easy and enjoyable to read. The principles contained in this book apply to all ages, both women and men who have gone through the experience and those who support them.

I already gave my review but I must make an alteration - I wrote World War 1 - it was War World 2 - please alter this Thanks Val Luttrell

This is a terrific book written by one of the great fighter pilots during World War 1 - mentioned in subject above - can this young generation picture what it was like to try to even start fighting without the necessary planes etc.Also so important for the 50 year old or older people to read the traumatic times when their father - or friends' fathers - were out inanother part of the world trying to save this great country of ours.

College Campus in the Sky is a wonderul read about the young years of Richard Launder's life when World War II thrust him into the most challenging and dangerous experiences of flying attack bombers in the Southwest Pacific against the Japanese. His writing is elegant and he allows you to fly with him as his co-pilot through the Battle of the Bismark Sea and many other important raids throughout New Guinea and other Japanese controlled positions. This is an up close education of life.

This book has so many pages that I kept a note pad next to me so I could come up with an honest review.
I have to tell you, I can't get any more honest then I have.
I'll start with the contents of the book then I will tell you what it did for me!

The author, Charles H Muller paints a clear picture of the way Harry was feeling when venturing out away from his familiar soundings. No longer trapped in his every day routine. A routine that took years of study to accomplish but has now turned into something of the past.
Looks like Harry's problems have only just begun or should I say a continence of what he had left behind.
The author makes the reader take notice of Harry with such feeling that you almost feel the same desire that he is feeling. Wanting the same things that Harry wants.
You can feel how destitute and empty Harry is and how he longs for deep, caring, touching love.
You can't help but feel bad for him.
Men have always been known to react to what they see!
Anne stopped looking special, she let herself go..On the other hand, Eleanor was a breath of fresh air!

The way this book was written made me wish that I was Eleanor!
To have someone care that much about me is unheard of these days, but one can hope.
Charles Humphrey Muller gave Harry a personality that doesn't quit.
When woman read this book they will long for someone just like Harry. I know, I do! He has such depth and you can see right into his soul!
Cheer up men, the author makes Eleanor to be every man's dream come true! and then some!

I have to say that when Charles Muller described Anne I felt like he was looking at me!..That scared me..I'm not as bad but I was on my way for sure. I would never want anyone to think of me the way that Harry thought about Anne.
So the way this book has changed my life is that I have joined a fitness center..I've lost 28 lbs so far, two dress sizes and loving my new self!.
You see, you don't need a diet, just read the book!!

I was so intrigued with this book and the talent of the author that I have now bought another one of his books!.."A Twist in Time"..I can't wait to read it!...You will be hearing from me again!

(This review is by Monika al-Amahani, author of Cinderella in Arabia): Humphrey Muller is such a good writer - he keeps the reader captivated, wanting to read on and on! He writes intelligently, yet his book is easy reading. Continental Drift came out of the blue through my letterbox. The novel was a well-meant present from a friend. But having a stock of unread books waiting to be enjoyed, I had absolutely no intention of reading Continental Drift for quite some time. ... Being taken in by the book's striking glossy orange-pastel cover, my fingers switched to automatic as they flicked through the pages. Unable to resist, I started reading bits here and there, as one does, and in no time I was well and truly hooked! I put the novel on my bedside table and read whenever I could steal the time to do so. Continental Drift is a novel, yet I sensed straight away that the story was based on the writer's up-and-down bobbing, often devastating life experiences. He almost stood before heaven's gate were it not for guardian angels in the form of two old ladies. In today's unsteady, complex world, many of us can identify with the writer's experiences. It proves once again that we are really all in the same boat and that life is not exactly a tea-party. Besides, the book is written in such a witty, captivating, easy to read style. And it's a learning experience, to boot. For me it certainly was! Are not the best and well-known authors grossly overrated while there is so much unknown, yet genuine talent, such as that of Humphrey Muller, out there? So why not read Continental Drift? You won't regret it! Monika al-Amahani

From Page one to the end of this book the reader will find themselves coming and going, doing and thinking about what the author has written in this story.
The good times, the bad times. the depressing mood, the insecurity that he felt while going through all these changes in his life.
Having a wife he couldn't trust, forcing him from his teaching position to being a hotel owner hoping to start a new life only to find out that he had taken the problem with him.
I found Harry to be a very lonely man who was looking for love in all the wrong palaces because of Anne who became a burden because of the bad habits that she was never able to break.
As you read on you are engulfed into his privet world of desolation.
This is a good story, well told that keeps your interset as to what will take place next!..I recomand this book for it is a good book to read!.I have never read one like it. It's excelent!

This is my favorite collection of Indian cooking. The recipes cover a wide variety of foods, including soups, appetizers, rice, veggie dishes, and meat dishes. I particularly love the rice and cauliflower dishes. My friends are always impressed when I make a feast of Indian food from this cook book. The pictures are great too. The only criticism I have is that the recipes are written in the metric system.

If you want to cook curry like you'd get in a UK curry house, this is the book you need. There are no substitutes. A lot of curry authors give you recipes their Auntie used. This is not what you get in a restaurant. This book teaches you how to make a bucketfull of the curry 'gravy' they use in most restaurants, and how to adapt it to your favourite curry.

In no time you'll be making curries in 30mins that beat the ones you love from your local curry house.

One word of advice, make sure you put the lid firmly on the blender when liquidising curry sauce.

Curries made simple. Finally! This is a wonderful representation of the most popular curries along with sauces, starters and deserts.

This book is full of mouthwatering photos which is the only way you can decide which of the hundreds of recipes to choose from.

A basic for every kitchen.

I would urge any company, regardless of size, that is even considering starting a loyalty program to use this book as "the Bible." Mr. Butscher carefully takes you through the benefits and pitfalls of such programs. Unlike most books on this subject, Mr. Butscher supports his theories with "real world" case studies from a wide array companies. More importantly, Mr. Butscher demonstrates that sucessful programs did not happen by mistake, but rather by careful planning and implementing a framework that was beneficial to both the company, and more importantly, the customers.

Most new books on loyalty programs skip over basic customer program development. They present loyalty marketing in an academic format full of mathematical formuls which are rarely, if ever, used by a company. This is not to say the visual presentation of Mr. Butscher's solid advice and guidance is left to the reader, but it is not force-feed.

Read this practical guide prior to reviewing your current loyalty program or developing a new program.

Not every frequency marketing issue is covered in depth but how many of your employees will care? This book can be understood and enjoyed by anyone who knows they should be addressing loyalty marketing, but get lost in the details. Enjoy !

Mr. Butscher certainly understand to communicate and cover the central issues connected to establishing a successful customer club. The book is great, because of it's many casestories, which goes from Germany to Asia to the U.S. Further the book is a book for practise - no long theories and mathmatical issues is covered, which makes the book easy to comprehend. I strongly recommed everyone working professionally with customer clubs and loyalty programmes to read this book. It can not be unheard what Mr. Butscher has on his agenda.

This fellow Sullivan has a subtle way with words. His worldview sneaks up on the reader, clarifying many mysteries of the so-called present without alerting the censor. Century after century, humanity doesn't change, only the labels we slap on events. This beautiful book captures that sense of hominid activity moving ever faster without objective progress, an important process to notice which may not be brought properly to attention without notion-bearing prose of gentle subconsious impact, of which "The Dark Yergall" is my new favorite example, fully justifying the run-on.

This book is lighter in tone than George Orwell and less crazy-making than Robert Anton Wilson, which I would consider to be an improvement in both cases.

[X] I found this review to be helpful.

Not hardly a day goes by that I don't take a good look around and see that we've gone beyond the pale. In this time of birth and death, a new voice for the literati emerges centuries in the future. Jason Sullivan speaks as if he has lived in the future his whole life, or at least envisions a future to come.

When the going gets tough, the Yergall gets dark.

Often the great times of uncertainty seem to inspire something posyive as well. We saw explosions of the most enduring science fiction gems every 40 years or so around the times of great turmoil and conflict. I cannot imagine the world could have trully appreciated Verne, H.G.Wells, Orwell, Huxley, Arthur C. Clarke, or Philip Dick without the real life catastrophic events we lived and witnessed in the past 150 years. The deep distopian visions in their works resonnated with us because we saw strong moral spiritual message encoded in them.
The times of great anxiety and uncertainty is here once again
We could be witnessing another golden age of great science fiction revival. Certainly this "Dark Yergall" promises the return to that great tradition.

Some is stealing dogs all over Stoneybrook and it's up to Dawn, Mary, Anne, Kristy, Stacey, Mallory and Jessi to stop him. At the ending, The stealer of the dogs is a very surprising person Kristy and the BSC saw!

I LOVED this book. In fact I love every one of the babysitters club books that I have read. I have over 40 babysitters club books. Ann M. Martin is a really great author and I love this series.

This was a great book!!! Some of the dogs in Stoneybrook start to disappear. This is the BSC first real police involved mystery. I loved it!

I loved this book! It was sooooo creepy!!

Hallowewen is comming! And the kids love Halloween. But then a masked man ruins Halloween!. This is Dawn, Sunny, Jill and Maggie's second mystery. Will the We Love Kids Detectives solve the Spooky Mystery or will the masked man ruin Halloween?

When a masked robber holds up a store in Palo City, Dawn's hometown, she decides to solve the mystery. If dawn doesn't find the robber soon, the whole of Palo City can't go trick-or-treating! This book is a must for Ann Martin lovers!

Both books are instantly a must read for all fans of this era..Fantastic to see these teams and players given such loving and endearing attention.

Some great insights to long ago baseball stars and the stories behind the stats. I have totally enjoyed this book.

The Society for American Baseball Research has outdone itself again, with a companion book to "Deadball Stars of the National League;" appropriately enough called "Deadball Stars of the American League." Following the same manner as the N.L. book, it has short biographies of the major stars for each of the franchises active between 1901 and 1919, complete with many photos. This excellent book again utilized a huge amount of people on the "Deadball" Committee of the organization taking part in the writing, editing and fact checking. It's a wonderful book for those wanting a feel of the game in the first decades of the 20th century, and of the players of that time, and I highly recommend it.

This book is on the short list of great novels published in this country, and is arguably Cather's masterpiece. Based on the historic Bishop Lamy of 19th century Santa Fe, Cather's Bishop Latour is called to civilize a land with a complex and tangled history. Cather presents him as a hero cowboy on horseback, facing off against various challenges natural and human from the day he is dispatched from Rome until his death years later.

The prose is stately, but rich and colored -- modern English clear, direct, and chiseled. Each chapter is a self-contained episode, directly modeled on Giotto's Life of Saint Francis panel circa 1300, wherein roughly a dozen separate pictures depict famous episodes of the saint's life. Cather rigorously studied classical art, music, and architecture, and was as artistically conscious as other pioneer artists of her generation -- Frank Lloyd Wright in architecture, Stieglitz in photography. Coming dead center between Stephen Crane and Ernest Hemingway, and sharing a preoccupation with both of them for the American West, this book richly resonates as an ever-fresh, peculiarly American piece of classic writing.

Cather, who is famous for the lyrical quality of her sensitive writing, does not disappoint in this spectacular novel. She creates a rich and sensitive tapestry of human experience, spinning a yarn of struggle, revelation, love, cruelty, adaptation, and ultimate triumph. She never yields to the temptations of fatuous romanticism or trite platitudes. This book is an experience that transports the reader into another time in another place, but then provides the most insightful among us with the material needed to extrapolate from this experience, and apply it to other places in other times. This is a uniquely American masterpiece that will resonate with those who may have grown out of spy thrillers and whodunits.

To be honest, the title was not one that I would have picked up on my own, and the book was recommended to me several times before I decided to read it. (You can't tell a book by it's Title) Worthy of all of it's critical acclaim, I have read this novel over several times, not only for it's splendid story line, but for the sheer brilliance of it, each time marveling at it's beauty and style. Though it deals with religion, it does it tastefully, openly, and allows the reader to see the underside of the human element that powers it.

Though all men may be "created equal", their characters are not, and this story is powerful in that regard as it exposes men of the cloth that are there simply as users of others, as opposed to the devoted, the sincere who's life work has been striven to the good.

The novel is timeless. The story unfolds in France and Italy, is about two boyhood friends who study for the priesthood together and subsequently end up doing their life's work together in the wild, open country of the New Mexico and Arizona frontiers. This work spans their entire lives, and the adventures, trials and hardships are many. The artistry that Willa Cather employs as she takes her reader through the magnificent, lonely expanses of sage and cactus, to the Mexican people in remote areas; the lawless exiles who hope to disappear into it's wilderness, is all accomplished as though a painter is at work beside her, shaping her words into visuals, makes this work one of her best, in my view.
