As a fellow repair shop owner I know exactly what Phil went through. This book has helped me to see the holes in my operation to create my vehicle. When I first bought my shop I probably read this book 3 times just to know i am not the only one who had to go through this. Phil and Ken have a great outlook on life and business and recomend this book to any business owner regardless of their industry. Great job Phil!!

this was kinda a good book but i was doing it for a school report so nothing having to do with school is fun! but i guess if u really dont have a life then u could read this book for no apparent reason

Walter Dean Myers is a great writer. He is very absorbing and great reading. He paints an unbiased portrait of Malcolm X's life. It is interesting and accurate. The book is out of print now and I suspect it is from the fact that Myers doesn't hide the fact Macolm X was an advocate of violent overthrow and criticized Martin Luther King Jr. for being non-violent in his advocacy for change. I think this is troubling for anybody and is a troubling aspect of admiring Malcolm X. The book is honest and doesn't advocate Malcolm X per se but doesn't criticize his penchant for violence either. It must be said that Malcolm X only spoke of violence and his not known for performing violent acts as an advocate for Islam and African-American rights.

Written by an Assistant Professor of Communication at Indiana University, Bloomington, Malcolm X: Inventing Radical Judgment is a scholarly, intense, and philosophical analysis of Malcom X's oratory. Scrutinizing both the speeches that Malcolm X made while as a minister for the Nation of Islam and those made after he left the Nation, Malcolm X: Inventing Radical Judgment especially focuses upon the strategies of interpretation and judgment that Malcom X fostered in his audiences. Recontextualizing the radical judgment found in Malcolm X's rhetoric according to three disparate theoretical approaches, Malcolm X: Inventing Radical Judgment strives to reveal a better understanding of one man's speechmaking power that was so great its iconoclasm transcends the limits of individual contemporary definitions.

Great book for those of us with a sick, twisted sense of humor. The book seems to be British or Canadian, so a few of the local jokes went over my head, but overall great book. I would recommend reading through the "Search inside" that Amazon offers, and browsing through using "surprise me". I believe they let you read about 100 pages using this feature.

The book gives infomation about ideas behind machines that are connected to people. For example, it explains the method of work of a heart pacemaker which operates using nuclear power!! I will be very glad if a new edition comes to the market. We need it.

This is an excellent book. It explains to the reader the "how to" in a very clear and detailed manner. Granted it may not go into the true nuts and bolts of Netware but you just can't get it all with one book. It has helpded me to understand and use Netware 3.x. I recommond this book for anyone who works with this NOS and has someone to talk to if a little help is needed.

Having looked through the Altiris documentation I decided to buy this book. It's exactly what it says it is 'A step by step guide to installing and configuring CMS'. No frills or dross, good explanations and examples and logically thought through. Recommended buy.

Imagine: from the Alpha week of 1948 to the Omega of 1988, an anonymous American apolitical, anti-authoritarian anarchist, atheist-agnostic ascetic and aesthete edits a philosophic weekly - MANAS, from the Sanskrit for "man" or "the thinker" - of a dozen pages or less, with a circulation throughout of less than three thousand. He appears to read everything from the smallest privately-printed libertarian pamphlets to the cream of current cultural journals on either side of the Atlantic, and the works of the noblest present-day humanist thinkers worldwide, with the aim of furthering man's search for meaning in the fearful age of mass technocratic materialism, the atom bomb, and estrangement from the higher strata of man and nature alike. His moral touchstones - Socrates, the Bhagavad-Gita and Upanishads, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Ortega, Arthur Morgan, Abraham Maslow - inspire him across four decades as he excavates weekly the philosophic and psychic roots of our present (dis)order: fear as a motivator; the replacement of religious dogma with the enthronement of a no-less chilling scientism; the constriction of the vessels of human nature with the straitjackets of biological and historical determinism; the Gordian knot of culturally-conditioned blood-lust, hyper-competitive hedonistic possessiveness and adolescent narcissism; the commonplace snuffing of the inner light of humane conscience via the craven libido to "fit in" to the structures of authority and not "rock the boat." Robert Maynard Hutchins describes his subscribers as "the 2,500 most interesting people in the world"; and Maslow says that he is "the only small-p philosopher America has produced this century".

He dies a few weeks after his final issue, aged 80. A decade hence, friends archive and cross-reference online the entire forty-one year run of MANAS - for free: and on CD-ROM for twenty dollars postpaid. Soon, idea-hungry readers here and there discover the MANAS archives via seriatim Google searches, find the uncanniest plots of common ground with their author - whose disciplined, probing and undogmatic essays on every aspect of the good life read as fresh as morning - and ask anon with eyes rubbed raw, "Who WAS this MANAS-ked man"?

His name is Henry Geiger - as subscribers with a taste for the finer print in periodical life would learn only once yearly and at statement time. He collects in 1971 much of the best from his enduring editorials and reviews in THE MANAS READER - guest contributors include Maslow, Hutchins, Morgan, Henry Miller, Marc Chagall, Carl Rogers, Louis J. Halle, E.F. Schumacher, Vinoba Bhave, Theodore Roszak, Frederick Franck and Henry Anderson.

We hear that one of his friends reads daily from a printout of the full-run archive, finding nothing comparable today elsewhere. Readers new to the singularity that was MANAS are to be envied. As a reader of Albert Jay Nock - to whose resigned Olympian pessimism MANAS is an ideal(ist) counter in humanist hope - was read to write, "Where have you been all my life?

This book is great for the 'new NICU nurse' or the experienced nurse/clinician that wants to brush up on their xray skills. The pictures are just great and it helps a lot!
