Directories Books

I love this book. It is incredible the things people think of.

Chase's Calendar of Events is more than a directory. It carries purpose, triumphs, and causes that will help humanity evolve in so many areas.
In this 2004 edition, you will see a new national holiday "National Divorced Parents for Children Week" which begins every October 1st. I created this holiday to remind divorced parents that their children are a part of each of them equally, and that each parent deserves honor and respect. This week long holiday puts children first, by giving their parents the opportunity to display healthy adult courtesy and respect to the other parent, solely for the benefit of their children.
You can create a holiday that has purpose and meaning too! This book is a fantastic resource to bring people together for reasons to celebrate, and make meaningful changes in our society. It is an excellent PR resource that will help you bring awareness to the special days, weeks and months that will help humanity evolve on all levels.

Highly recommended for bringing positive awareness for the benefit of all.

I'm writing this on October 20. Not a particularly famous day. What can I say about October 20, presuming that I needed to say something. Well, I could say:

Apple Butter Stirrin Day in Coshocton, OH
Fall Festival of Leaves in Bainbridge, OH
Guatemala Revolution Day
Kenyatta Day in Kenya
MacArthur Returned to the Phillipines
Mickey Mantle's Birth Day
National Mammography Day (free or discounted mammograms - see www.nbcam.org)
6 Million Dollar Man Premiered.

And there's a bunch more things you might quote if it fit your needs.

That's the essence of this book. Not just October 20th of course, but any of the 365 days in 2006. Not once did I find a date that said, 'Nothing happened this day.'

And I couldn't help but find out that on my birthday, 'Banned Books Week' begins. On my brothers birthday Greenwich Mean Time began - in 1676.

There are also other sections of the book, just in case you want to write about what happened 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, or 200 years ago this year. Twenty years ago - January 28, 1986, Space Shuttle 'Challenger' Exploded -- yes, it's been that long.

Those who love chess and the Internet will also love this guide, which provides reviews and assessments of the hottest chess sites and advice on where to play on the web. From news and events to learning about chess, Chess On The Net is filled with practical, fun applications.

Living Tree Paper Company is proud to have provided the tree-free Vanguard Hemp™ paper for the Chíc Eco Directory where Delia practices what she prescribes. I can testify to the thoroughness of this book and highly recommend it to eco-fashion job marketeers, as many of the sources are seeking sales representatives. Green retailers should appreciate the no-travel ease to stock their stores. Ecological designers will find this directory imperative for their manufacturing needs and individuals will be empowered by learning where the earth-friendly products they want to purchase are made.

This extensive and elegant work is the consummate guide to all things real estate in Chicago: interior design, remodeling, landscaping, and more. The volume is the first must-have, in-depth resource and reference manual for all of your Chicago housing needs. The Chicago Homebook will undoubtedly help your dreams of tomorrow, materialize today.

I bought this book simply for the list of potential employers it contains and found it to be a great resource for browsing employers in different categories. It contains web addresses, street addresses, short descriptions of what the company does, and all the companies are divided into different categories such as "Accounting and Management Consulting" or "Real Estate".

The only part that I found to be a joke is at the very beginning, concerning how to conduct a job search. The instructions are so general that they are useless and the cover letter and resume examples are only mildly useful. More importantly, information like that is already readily available in better and more detailed format on the internet, so they could really have just saved some paper and left this part out.

The bottom line is that this book is a crucial reference guide for companies you could be applying to that you didn't even know existed until you got this book. Since it narrows things down to one metropolitan area instead of a region or the nation as a whole, it allows the author to list even more employers for this specific city and with even more detail.

A must have if you are doing a focused job search!

An excellent guide that is well organized and easy to use. A reference book that will become a thoroughly 'dog-eared' part of your collection.

The amazingly comprehensive encyclopedia "Choose to Reuse" has something for everyone, from a family trying to creatively reuse their household waste to businesses with 1000's of tons of materials to deal with. Every subject has an indepth choice story, lists of green products, non profit experts and organisations with comprehensive contact details. I don't know how they packed so much into a book for so little money. The research must have taken ages. Very amusing in places as well. A real must for anyone interested in the fast growing area of reuse.

Not only have I read this book but I have referred this book to the many Christian musicians and music ministries that I consult. It is an excellent source book for the Christian Music Media.
