Directories Books

I can't give this book enough credit!! When I was younger I used to write to sports stars all the time, always using the addresses from these books (I had all four). I now have numerous autographs......Steve Young, Cam Neely, Brian McBride, Eddie Belfour, Mike Modano, Jeff Gordon, and many more. They are all real! It is so great..... for people looking to buy the books, I recommend using the team addresses in the back of the book but putting a name at the top instead of the team name. The addresses in the book just go to fan clubs, but if you send it to the team they will give it to the players!!! Anyways, enjoy the book. It's awesome!

This book is incredible informational and fact-filled for young kids who are interested in writing to their favorite athletes in search of autographs. I have found from my personal experience that if you are polite enough in your requesting an autograph from an athlete through the mail, that they will usually respond in a positive manner, although occasionally it does take quite a long time to get a response from the athletes.

I may be a bit biased in my recommendation of this book, as my wife was the editor on the project a few years back during an internship she had while in college, and the author was one of my good friends from college. So Dylan and Inga... WAY TO GO!!! Thanks for giving kids such an informative and valuable resource for trying to get in touch with their sports heroes!!!

This book is brilliant. I can't actually describe how I felt when I read it. I couldn't put it down.

It is about 2 people who love each other more than life. They love each other more than eternity + eternity.

All three of her books I have read and enjoyed each tremendously. The size (length) may scare away some readers, but they don't know what they're missing. Each of her novels are hard-to-put-down reads. I'm just sorry she has not written more.

Wish I had found this sooner. Saved me lots of time, and introduced me to gear companies I never even heard of. I even learned a few new things in the glossary section. VERY COOL

A bought this book as a gift for my husband, who likes to mountain climb and skate. He and I really liked the way the book was laid out, making it easy to locate information. The number of resources listed for each sport were incredible and many of them you would not be able to find without this book. We bought equipment and items through resources listed in this book that we had not been able to find in our home town. This is a must have for anyone interested in "extreme" sports.

The International Directory of Military Aircraft is the best single-source reference for military aviation. I am looking forward to the March release of the 00/01 edition. I do not have the Civil Directory, but I am sure that it is good as well. I also have the 98/99 edition, which is very good. I hope every aviation buff owns a copy of this wonderful book.

The International Directory of Military Aircraft is a great book.I really like to study military aircraft and this is a good resource book.All the planes in it have awesome pictures.It tells you all the details you need to know about almost any type of plane you can think of. If I am trying to find who makes a jet to the weight and dimensions of one this is the book I reach for.Recently I ordered the latest version.I would have to say out of all of my military aircraft books this would be the best one. So if you just like neat pictures of planes or if you really go nuts over them like me then you will love this book.It is a great book just to have around the house to look up something every once and a while or to study in your free time.

Good job!

I'm using this to teach an internet course and have been very pleased. Students seem to enjoy it as well and find it most useful - which is of prime importance.

Very nice book. I have two copies. Selling one. The book lists what appears to be thousands of family-oriented website addresses with descriptions. Everything for fun and games, to schoolwork, science, history, etc. The book comes with a CD that is still sealed in its original jacket.

Very informative.

I like this book very much but I am confused about who wrote this book. On the book, there is only one author, but you list two authors. I am not sure what to tell friends who want to find this book. There is no mention of anyone named Kathy Ivens in the whole book. Did you guys goof?

I am a littel swedish girl,whit three cats. I bought this book and I love it. It is soo fun and my cats also thougt so. Im not very good at English,but I understand the book anyway. I just hope that you have so mutsh brain that you buy this apsolutly wunderful book. Wrigt too my cat if you'd like. Bye bye!

Take a great trip with Judys' friend Bubbles through the Internet. Enough humor to leave you in tears and a great collections of Cat links. I will never tire of reading it, but may have to purchase additional copies because of worn out pages and Cat chews!

This Yellow Pages is a great resource for online shopping! If you are looking for great Internet guides for Kids & Family, High School, and College students, check out the You Are Here Internet series!

I loved the convenience of shopping on the Internet but I had trouble finding the sites that sell what I want. Not any more! This book lists over one thousand sites that sell everything you can imagine. Where else could you find sites that sell spy and security goodies, decorator umbrellas and ladies lingerie all in the same book? You can even go to to the author's Internet site to find reviews of new shopping sites and, more importantly, the sites that have gone belly-up since the book was published.

Wonderful service. Arrived in 6 days. Book in condition as promised.

Bravo is aptly named!

Lucky are those who read this book - ideal for high school & college students, parents, job-seekers, career advisors, career changers, employers and college alumni associations.

I have been encouraging Dario Bravo to write a book about internships for over 12 years and, at last, the dream internship/career preparation book has become a reality.

Now, everyone who reads Dario's book can benefit from his wisdom, experience and work at the UCLA Internships and Study Abroad Services Office (formerly known as the UCLA EXPO Center), which is now part of the UCLA Career Center. I must also mention the work of Dario's predecessor, Alex White, who helped set the foundation and linkages for many of the original UCLA internship/study abroad programs (when it was the UCLA EXPO Center) and who, had the great vision to recognize, hire and provide job growth opportunities to a younger Dario Bravo many years ago, opportunities which initially helped Dario on his way to become the GREAT UCLA Internship/Study Abroad Services Office manager, advocate, and representative to the world that he is today.

Dario Bravo operates the BEST OF THE BEST in internship/career planning and preparation -- he is sort of a Santa Claus of internships and job preparation -- who will introduce you to the world of possibilities and valid action plans to achieve your career goals. What is especially impressive about Dario's work through his office is that, no matter what the student's economic situation, a way will be found for each committed UCLA student to have the means and ability (and at times, the clothing) to partake of internships.

I studied the UCLA Washington DC internship program in coursework while working towards my education doctorate at UCLA and I also participated in the D.C. program one summer, so I speak to its strengths from the view of both an academic and a participant.

The UCLA National Programs (e.g., government, NGO and other internships) in Sacramento, CA and in Washington, D.C., provide fabulous civic-engagement models that I believe all colleges and universities should make available to their students. Further, the National Program internships provide UCLA with a high profile and invaluable networks in both Sacramento and Washington, D.C. The students who participate in the National Programs not only demonstrate more much civic engagement afterwards, but also demonstrate more of a continuing, lifelong rah-rah engagement with UCLA as well as with current students and alumni who have passed through the National Programs internships.

At last, the light is being shown on the great work being done at the UCLA Internships and Study Abroad Services Office as well as the great work of Dario Bravo in leading this office, growing the programs, and quietly creating a successful, dynamic model for other colleges and universities to follow.

BRAVO! Encore! Encore!

I found this book a very valuable resource to look at the history of why what (mostly) men do in work is considered more valuable than what women do, why they are generally paid more. (i.e. why male tree trimmers make more money than female nurses, why women with college educations make less on the average than [...]educated males)...this is an older book so things have improved some, but there's still the difference.
Tavris and Offir found cross cultural similarities of the bias against what women do, i.e. the hunting that men have done was valued more than the gathering and cooking that women did...yet both were important for survival.

I highly recommend the book.
