This book contains many facts in African-American history that you would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere without hours of research per fact. The author even lists his sources for each fact. The author should truly be commended for putting together an excellent reference book. With regard to the reviewer who quibbled over the book's title of "2,000 Years of Extraordinary Achievement," this is a very minor point, and you need to keep in mind that most authors do not have control over the title of a book unless they are named Stephen King or Michael Crichton. The publisher has control of everything because they are the investor in the book and have put thousands of dollars on the line. Don't blame the author for everything, oh, ye of little knowledge.

This is an amazing Book and I have enjoyed it so much.
It is a great educational resource for African American History.

I bought this journal for my mom, and now I wish that I had gotten one for myself, as well. There are guided questions and lists on one side. Then, you can flip it over and use it as a regular journal. The pictures and quotes are neat and make you smile.

When I saw this journal I couldn't resist it. Even it's cover (the frown-y frog) makes me smile! It's a great journal with re-affirming quotes and funny animal pictures on every page. It encourages me to write out my feelings when I'm sad, mad...even glad! I love it so much that I can't even reserve it for blue days-it has become an everyday journal for me.
The directory in the back allows you to make lists of your favorite things, activities, places, foods, etc. so when you're feeling crummy you know how to pamper yourself. Just filling out the directory has made me think about what I really enjoy and consider adding more of these favorites to my every day life.

I didnt grow up in this era , however I have friends of family that did and when I actually did read this book; its example of that time period simply moved me. This definetly touched me and allowed me to see this era through the authors eyes. What a great piece of history.

ALTHOUGH I AM PARTIAL TO THIS BOOK BECAUSE I SHARE THE DEDICATION, IT CONTAINS SOME WONDERFUL RECIPES. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS FRESH PEACH SOUP, WHICH IS A WONDERFUL COLD, SUMMERTIME REFRESHING TREAT. IT HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF BREAKFAST/BRUNCH RECIPES. IT MAKES A WONDERFUL HOSTESS GIFT.

This book is a must read for anybody building safety-critical systems. It totally convinced me that we need to move from a "detect and failover" strategy to a "replicate and isolate" strategy to achieve unprecedented levels of availability in a very affordable and cost effective way. This book is making my life easier and improving the way our company does business. What more could you ask for?

This is a must read book for anyone involved with computer system fault tolerance/reliability/business continuity issues. The material is presented in simple, clear terms and the different algebraic formulas and their variables never become threatening, obscure, or boring. This reviewer has been involved with Tandem/HP Non Stop systems for almost 20 years. This book has provided me with a wealth of new insights, facts, and, over all, food for thought, that will enable me to appreciate much better the characteristics of this type of system.

I helped build the community college system in Nevada from 1970-1975. This paperback was published in 1973. Employees from the house came to our college to take course in psychology and business. Sitting along madams in airplanes was a common event. The book serves as a piece of local history.

gene ritchie disappeared although sen. schofields body i understand was discovered murdered.it had some connection with genes then wife and prostitute known as sherrie.id like to know what happened and have some info to share,it has been a mystery for a # of years and need some answers.

I borrowed this book from the Library and after reading it, just had to have it. It has so much information contained in it, that I want to spend more time delving into all that it has.
So many wonderful listings of websites pertaining to everything you could possibly think of in regards to camping, Rving, and all that pertains to that.
YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK AND THINK IT INDESPENSIBLE AFTER YOU READ IT. I highly suggest getting this for what seems to be almost all the information you would every need for camping and all that is related to it.

There is no more concise summary and guidebook for the internet user...on the road in an RV or off the road at home. It is extremely clear, well-organized and a "quick learn" for those who want to try out further exporation of the internet. In its relatively small format it explains everything from types of computers, hardware, software, terminology, to those mysterious "letters" related to computing we wonder about. Camping On the Internet by Eyrich is an absolute must for those who are full-timers in their RVs. Whether you just want to learn from scratch or whether you want to build your own website for pleasure or business, this is THE book. The author, Loren Eyrich, has spent many years traveling in an RV and publishing a small newspaper "on the road", using his computer. This is a user-friendly book. As a fairly competent computer user, I found it wonderfully refreshing and highly useful; it also helped me build my own web site.

This book highlights the very best sites for your 1999 job search. I have found it most helpful in sourcing candidates for my clinical research client, and also as a guide to posting the job searhes that I am doing. It guided me to the best healthcare sites; Also, I was able to find the most cost effective sites

I have used previous editions of Careerxroads, but the latest, 1999, edition is the best one yet.

Thanks to the techniques and websites contained in CareerXRoads, results that are hard-to-match were achieved in diversified staffing environemnts. Representative metrics include: number-of-hires (75% of all hires were from the Internet), time-to-hire (avg. 48 days), cost-per-hire (avg. $3,800), and customer satisfaction (avg. 89%). Free e-mail updates increase the value of this user-friendly candidate sourcing tool for the serious Internet recruiter.

see http://www.familyinternet.com/collectables/fleaad.htm for more rave reviews from CNN-TV, Newsday, Milwaukee Journal, etc.

This is a really good book for finding flea markets. Each state is covered (a map shows the state at a glance and the key fleamarket towns shown) and for each flea market it says the town, address & directions to get there, dates/times when its open, cost of admission, features such as typical types of items you'll find there, number of booths, rates if you're a dealer and want to sell at the flea market, contact info and web site if they have one.

Really full - it was neat to see Wellfleet covered in here. When I was little my grandparents (who lived on Cape Cod) would take me there to browse through the stalls - I usually had a small allowance of a dollar or two to spend....thank goodness my allowance is bigger now :)

Anyway, great book, seems to be really complete although I've only gone to a few local flea markets that I can get to.

Definitely recommend this as I haven't found anything else that comes close to being as good

Much time and research went into this work. Listing almost everyone associated with the film industry who are interred in Los Angeles' cemeteries was an incredible feat. In addition, how the author got the grave sites of celebrities buried in Forest Lawn (Hollywood) and (Glendale) is beyond me! Workers there won't even give out names of those interred. I highly recommend this book.

Having read most of the books published re: celeb grave hunting, I can easily say this is the very best. Mr. Ellenberger has managed to consolidate all the positives contained in the books that have preceded this one, added additional information and new entries, and has come up with the ultimate grave hunting guide for the Los Angeles area. He has clearly researched and verified his information and relied on additional information supplied by various knowledgeable contributors. Information includes dates and locations of birth and death, grave location (cemetery, section and plot numbers), cause of death, and identifiable screen role(s). The only possible shortcomings are lack of cemetery maps and pictures of the deceased, and these are probably due to the high publishing costs associated with these features. The one thing that I really liked was the addition of many fine actors who never attained star status such as Harry Davenport and Sara Allgood. This is absolutely great for all diehard movie fans out there.

This book has soo many champagne cocktails. Thres champagne for all occasions from tradiotnal drinks, modern drinks, breakfast drinks, and punchs. Interesting read!! i love champagne

Another fabulous book for Anastasia and Jared. Full of "bubbly" fun and creative "sparkle" this book was also asthetically gorgeous. Chef Kathy Casey
