Review Date: 2008-05-29
As others have already reviewed, I am a fly fisherman who purchased this book to get a better understanding of freshwater invertebrates other than mayfly and caddis species. (For a highly detailed description of mayflies and caddis for the fly-fisherman, I would recommend the titles "Nymphs, volumes I and II".)

This guide is well-written and not too difficult to follow, even for the beginner. There is a focus on stream ecology and some tips on how to collect and identify various species. Be clear - the focus of this book is not specifically on fly-fishing, but more of a biological guide to aquatic invertebrates.

For a beginner, this book is a great place to start, but is also a nice reference for those with a little more experience. The color drawings are detailed enough to help determine the differences in various species. All in all - Excellent Book.

I teach math in high school, and I have found this dictionary more useful than the textbook. The definitions are more precise and understandable than in a book designed to be understandable. It's compact, lightweight (because it's paperback) yet it's packed with information. It has been one of my better purchases this year.

My job requires extensive technical writing skills in the form of developing mathematical algorithms or creating presentations or other documentation that frequently requires that mathematical concepts be clearly defined for the reader. Even when you think you know a good definition for a mathematical term, this dictionary will likely give you a better one. Good reference to keep around.

This is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, mathematics dictionary. But it is just that, a dictionary of mathematical terms and phrases. Do no expect it to teach you any subject in mathematics. It would be great for any student taking a mathematics course. If the student runs across a term that he/she might have forgotten, the student can refer to this dictionary for a quick reminder.

If you're anything like me, you enjoy reading while in the toilet, doing one of the necessities of human nature, this reference has a great "random open" feature, where you can just slide your thumb at any page and find an interesting term you can think and learn about, I dont know how much the shallow discussion to these complex terms is really useful, but it gives you interesting things to think about, it also contains some mathematics history and some information about famous mathematicians, the paperback cover provides for some nice comfortable format, this dictionary has replaced the old Almanac I used to open randomly when I'm bored.
A 5 star for the cuteness.

Carol Denego's first book is filled with charming personal vignettes about one woman's encounter with the vicissitudes of life, those events that fill our own storybooks with memorable moments of joy and sorrow, challenge and triumph. It is a friendly and honest book, guileless and funny in a way that touches us all no matter who we are or where we're from. Her message is deceptively simple: We are never alone, and life unfolds in perfection if we but do the journey. There is sweetness and magic in her stories, and they ring with the truth of everyday reality.

Carol's book is inspirational and gives the reader pause to "see a loving God" in every action and breath of one's daily journey. Her examples of her own life help the reader feel His presence and love. Her writing style allows the reader to ponder the book's meaning and not feel like you are being force into one view; rather to question, How is God's love and presence demonstrated in your life? You'll find yourself writing your own "High Road to Faith"!

The High Road of Faith: A Personal Journey
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2001-09-17
Upon hearing the title, what comes immediately to mind is the old Loch Lomond refrain which goes, "Ye take the high road, and I'll take the low road...and I'll get to Scotland "afore ye"... High road or low road, the intent is the same: to move forward on the road of faith. Consciously embarking upon a spiritual journey is a decision of strong intent, coupled with a sharpened sense of awareness that whatever we encounter along that road has a multi-faceted significance.

Carol experienced this, too, and shows us the importance of receiving each event in our lives--uplifting ones filled with song and friends but also losses and adverse events--as an opportunity to grow spiritually and develop our faith in an underlying purpose for our presence here on Earth.

In the best tradition of spiritual seekers throughout the ages, Carol's "gypsy" journey sends her to all sorts of places, both physical and metaphysical. Her earthbound travels take her around the world--from San Francisco Bay to Brazil, from Switzerland to Western Samoa, and from Hawaii to exotic Asian destinations like Thailand, Indonesia, and Mainland China and back again to Oahu.

At the same time, her spirit takes flight on journeys that are as passionate as they are, in the end, peace-filled as she learns to listen to "Spirit" and trust in a higher power to guide and keep her on that high road of faith through all of life's large, and small, trials.

Writing this review after the tragic terrorist attacks in New York and Washington brings home the fact that, as Carol confirms, "we create our world". Even a person or a nation as seemingly invincible as America can be momentarily caught off guard and dealt a devastating, if not lethal, blow that forces it to look inward to discover what circumstances permitted, indeed encouraged, such evil havoc. Spiritual cleansing requires deep and often painful introspection.

At the same time, being paralyzed by introspection and fear is not the answer. Carol shows, with a mixture of trust, curiosity, and humor, that she--and indeed any one of us--can summon up the strength to overcome uncertainty and self-doubt, breaking free of the past to embark upon our own personal, and highly rewarding, spiritual journey.

As Carol travels on towards new challenges and discoveries, another old Irish blessing comes to mind, one woven to strengthen the spirit and heal the hearts of all travelers on this, life's premier journey: "May the road rise up to meet you; May the wind be always at your back; May the sun shine warm upon your face; And rains fall soft upon your fields; And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand."

Mr. DeVos' book has moved me deeply and powerfully. I have already started applying some of his beliefs and principles in my life and am feeling more empowered than ever. He also has boosted and strengthened my belief in God and my trust in Jesus. His inspiring personal story and his acknowledgement of the power of God's grace will have a lasting effect on me. I suspect anyone else who reads his terrific story will feel the same. The book is a "quick read' and I love the format of how the ten lessons for life are presented. This book should be read by Christians and non-Christians alike in my opinion. Thank you Mr. DeVos for sharing your story, your wisdom, and your unshakeable faith in our Lord and Savior. You have made me realize even further just how much He loves each and every one of us.

This book is dressed with vibrant pictures from cover to cover and filled with inspirational quotes that are the kind anyone will want to jot down on a post it and leave next to the front door.

If you need rules or guidelines for your life without an entirely religious or spiritual basis, this is them. Rich DeVos is a very religious person, but is able to relate ten lessons of how to succeed in life. From faith through love, Rich tells us how each one provided great things in his life. Being successful in all areas of his life, Rich is someone that everyone should listen and learn from, in business or not, christian or not, successful or not. There is always room to grow in your life, so let Rich lead the way.

I am 37 and am loosing my hair, The information in this book has made me aware of all the reasons women can loose their hair. Many of the reason have the same symptoms. Which at first is frustrating until you realize more reasons means more possibilities to get it back even if only part of the hair. If you are considering hair transplants read this first, please.
I read other parts of the book that would be relevant to some friends this book is a great one, I have 3 more books about hair loss one is pretty good but abit out dated, the other is OK , and the other I will use to start a fire.

There ARE medications that can help you although most doctors will ignore and dismiss you. I went to see Dr. Redmond and he was able to help me, it was worth the trip into NYC and every penny.

Candida Royalle Really Does Have Something To Say
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-06-04
This fascinating look into the mind of an ex-porn star turned female porn filmmaker was the first full book I'd read on my new Kindle. I must admit being surprised at how well the Kindle functions. It is very easy on the eyes and unlike working on my Mac my eyes don't get tired from reading text on the Kindle. Even reading the Kindle while riding an exercise bike or commuting by train doesn't bother my eyes and I'm not even reading text set on the largest font setting. The Kindle is proof that E-Books will soon become a favored way to publish as well as the chief method of reading books. It is a sign of the digital publishing world to come. The savings for printing, storing and shipping books will be cut those costs to basically nothing. Entire forests will be spared. E-Books are the ultimate goal of the green movement. In addition to saving a ton of money, E-Books can also be easily updated regularly.
Returning to the book review, I enjoyed this particular book because as a former male documentary film and video maker, it was fascinating to me to see how the feminine mind works. Their approach to making erotica and porn film is very different than the approach and vision of most of their male counterparts. This author/filmmaker approaches it just as she approaches sexual fantasies. In this volume the writer explains to female readers how to apply the same principles she uses to making an erotic female porn film to finding and judging potential mates. She is looking for sensitive men who are truly interested in her and making her happy. She explains how she judges whether a potential leading man for one of her films is sensitive enough to exhibit the erotic passions she desires in her own erotic fantasy life as well in her film. It only takes reading the first few chapters to realize the truth of the statement that it is "women who rule the world." They are the ones in charge just as the passive Sub is really in charge of the Dom as well as the scene.
I'd not yet reached the half way mark in the book when I began to doubt that it was really necessary to apply all the same standards to finding leading men for her films as she was using for finding her own flawless lover. Her image of her own perfect lover/mate also seemed at bit too perfect of a fantasy to actually find in real life. She appeared to have placed her own ideal lover upon a pedestal much like an ancient Greek statue of an nude Olympian. Feeling a bit inferior to her perfect model I continued reading. To me, photography, film and video are not real. The camera lies. Models and actors usually aren't at all like they appear on screen. Their bone structure and other physical features that often aren't even noticeable in real life, come together in such a way to make them appear more perfect than they really are when photographed. They are simply photogenic. Some actors also can act and too many can't. What you see on the screen is often 180 degrees from what the actors are really like. With these nagging doubts in the back of my mind I read on. It's easy to see why women tend to like this book so well. The same is probably true for her erotic videos.
Even as a male, I found reading this book enlightening. The author/filmmaker is constantly stressing how important lighting, music, makeup, mood and location are for love making both in film and in real life. She provides long lists of sample music and practical ideas for flattering lighting. She warns her readers how to avoid finding themselves in a situation where you are worried about your lover becoming more interested in the actress on the screen than you and how to avoid having their lover or themselves experience feelings of physical inferiority to the movie actors in her films.
Another of the many puzzling things to me was how many people really have the time or energy to spend so much time having sex. Many of her fantasy sessions seem intended to last for many hours or most of the night. That's good if you have the entire weekend for playing such games or if you don't have to get up and go to work in the morning. Perhaps the author was describing only occasional sexual fantasies? This book is well worth the time it takes to read and enjoy. It makes you want to run out of the house or office to buy some of the author's erotic films as soon as possible. This tome gives the reader lots of ideas for adding the extra orgasms back in their sex life. Every couple can benefit from some of the creative suggestions the author provides for adding zip to their routine sex lives.
One final note on the sub-topic of this review. It's difficult to resist mentioning how much I enjoyed the delivery system of this book. Although I've been doing more and more reading on my Kindle, yesterday, when I was ordering a book on Amazon.com I noticed there was a chance to order the book on Kindle or in actual "dead tree" paperback. I choose the paperback book. The price reduction for the Kindle version wasn't enough of a savings. Although I'm adapting to Kindle editions, given a choice I'll still usually pick the regular, more familiar book format. I expect that in many cases, unless I'm planning to be traveling and don't want to carry around a bunch of heavy books, I'll still favor the "real hard copy of the book" if that version is available. However, I predict that in the near future most books will only be available in digital formats. Economics and conservation goals will eventually combine to eliminate the choice. It may take decades before the new generation thinks "Digital E-Books" are the normal method of publication, but it is coming. One only has to see what has happened to photography to see the future of book publishing. I hope this reviewer's fascination with this new book delivery system doesn't distract the potential reader of this volume from buying this enlightening guide book for upgrading their own sex life with dozens and dozens of very pragmatic and creative suggestions. It's fun to have so many kinds of yummy desserts from which to choose.

How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do: Sex Advice from a Woman Who Knows

Because of the title, I taught that this was a man oriented book in wich Mrs Royalle was doing us the favor or revealing "the secret" to please our women. It is more a women oriented book who tells the girls how to make sure they will get what they want...and asking in the most subtle way if they have to. I enjoyed the book for my part even if it was impossible for me to practice some of the "Tricks" we found in it but, If I ever have the chance to meet a girl who has read that book and who is becoming "subtle" with me, I will probably react much better and not asking myself "What is going on ?"
Don't get me wrong here, there are a few tricks for men but the book was created for women and teach how to get her men to do things she wants.

As a glamour photographer myself, this is a book I own and use for inspiration. I love the way Hurrell not only captures the inner-beauty of the subjects, but his photojournalistic approach. I often graze through this book as I've read it many times over--the grazing gets me going when it comes to my own glamour photography. I recommend anyone interested in this book, buy it now! If you'd like to see how it's affected my career, also check out the following books, Garage Glamour: Digital Nude and Beauty Photography Made Simple, Rolando Gomez's Glamour Photography: Professional Techniques and Images and even a book where I have a chapter, Professional Portrait Lighting: Techniques and Images from Master Photographers (Photo Pro Workshop series) This book should not only be on a collector's list, but for any student of photography--we're always learning no matter what level your photography. ---Rolando Gomez, contributing writer, Studio Photography magazine

Mark Vieira's own photographic artistry is based on Hurrell's techniques, providing current-day enthusiasts with authentic glamour photography of their own.

An American Icon

Review Date: 2007-08-25
George Hurrell is universally acknowledged THE Hollywood portrait photographer, the man who recreated during the talkies much of the mystery of the silent stars through his breathtaking photographs. At a time when the finest still photography was becoming more incisive and natural, Hurrell managed to balance this new naturalism and directness in highly manipulated ways, producing in his best work iconic images of the great stars of MGM. After the second World War his work became largely passe, appearing too contrived and built up for an age demanding grit and spontaneity and an off-hand naturalness.

This work seeks to both show and tell the story of Hurrell's highwater era as not only the major photographer of the stars, and MGM in particular, but also his development as artist. Breathtaking photographs fill the volume - Harlow on a polar bear skin rug, her gown glowing a burnished white against the softer fur while all around her Hurrell captures an infinite play of lighting, the entire amazing and unrepeatable, a dream world evoked out of the irridescent sheen of an infinity of microscopic silvery gifts left by the platinum negative; Norma Shearer transformed from attractive but doughty into a timeless vamp, surpassing her silent film predecessors with an electric sexuality never before captured on still film; Joan Crawford, Hurrell's great muse at the top of his game, seen in powerful forceful images, unrelenting in their hold on an Apollonian authority.

Hurrell's flamboyant personality, his novel and sometimes off-putting behavior during shootings, seems now unfortunately taken as role template by many lesser fashion photographers. In his day and at his height during the late twenties through the beginnings of World War II Hurrell dominates a demanding and highly accomplished professional field.
Whether you live in a sumptious penthouse overlooking Central Park, need a single book for the coffee table in the living room of that restored Neutra you just purchased, or just enjoy reasonably priced fashion books, Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits fits the bill. At a significantly reduced price its a lovely reminder of one of the nicer advantages of democratic publishing: not every fine art book is a prohibitively expensive limited edition printed by a small press.

The Inner Glow

I found The Inner Glow to be an affirmation of things from my own childhood I had let slide in my busy adult world, things I should have remembered would get me through all the good and bad times. It inspired me to look closer at what I am doing or saying and the effect I am having on others. It is a book of hope and promise of things we may not understand and that there is a spiritual path that each of us were born to follow. I hope to find more works by this author in the future.

A delightful story that is well-written and easy to read. It is a spiritually moving story that is touching and uplifting, despite the life issues addressed story. It was a quick reading story that leaves the reader with heart-felt messages and things to ponder about their own lives. Highly recommended for all readers, young and old.

A TOUCHING STORY ABOUT THE NATURE OF TRUE MIRACLES

Review Date: 2005-08-26
The Inner Glow reminds us about the nature of true miracles: they are powerful, but personal experiences that come to us as "still, small voices" that speak peace to our hearts and bring about lasting change.

Ehly's somber and realistic story about how a man deals with his son's terminal illness not only shows us how adversity is necessary for growth, but how it can renew our faith in God and help us to find truth and beauty amid the most tragic of circumstances.

The Inner Glow is well-crafted, with a beautiful retelling of the biblical battle between David and Goliath and a tear-wrenching conclusion that will send you running for a box of tissues! It is the essence of the old verse that "a child shall lead them." I recommend this book to anyone who has experienced loss and everyone who has not... yet.

On the unconscious

Review Date: 2004-06-23
I have previously read only one book on dream interpretation and think this one is excellent. I've always steered away from dream interpretation because I thought they were too mental for me. I am by nature an intellectual and caught up in daydreaming most of the time anyway. But Johnson tells me to bring feeling and body into the interpretation process, and that I like.

He also warned against passive daydreaming concerning any real person for they will feel something over the collective unconscious. Compared inner work to marching around the walls of Jericho -- conquering a psychic center might take years of persistent work.

All in all: simple and concise. I recommend it.

The Perfect Book for learning Active Imagination
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2008-05-11
This book is a fantastic guide to doing Active Imagination. If you are new to the ideas of Carl Jung, this book has the introduction that you need. I have used the techniques from this book on many occasions, and I know I will keep going back to it. Active Imagination has helped me in working with my compulsions and in understanding my bad habits. This is not a 'self-help' book with catchy slogans and common-sense rephrased kind of book. You will end up talking nonsense to yourself and trying to make sense of it. What kind of 'self-help' book would ever encourage you to make up a bunch of nonsense and then try to understand it! When you see the way to express your instincts you will open up a part of yourself that you may never have known before.

The Wisdom Inside
Helpful Votes: 24 out of 25 total.
Review Date: 2003-07-13
This wonderful book is clear and practical, and really goes to the point. It instructs you and helps you at two levels: first it explains how our dreams and imagination function as a link between our conscious and unconscious lives; then it goes on to instruct the reader on how to learn from this link and how to build a fruitful and lifelong dialogue between these two spheres of being. In order to achieve the latter, the author shows us, with clear examples, the way to understand our dreams and to use our imagination and so find the wisdom that we all have inside. Although this all sounds like any other self-help book, here the author never means to sound witty, empty or artificially triumphant. He promises nothing and makes sure we understand that what he is telling us is nothing new: many cultures use these same methods for the psychological, spiritual well-being of people. But we happen to be living in a time and culture that have lost the sense of inner life.Reading this book is like listening to the words of a loving teacher, who knows things because "he has been there before".Well-written and packed with no-nonsense spirituality, without losing touch with the world where we live or our common sense.

though i wouldn't follow the author's exact attributions to symbols in dreams (use your personal ones - what do they mean to you?), the book is still excellent for interpretation and analysis. keep reading it, especially the most important parts, as you are likely to forget. i recommend first reading Owning Your Own Shadow as a primer, also by Robert A. Johnson.

I carefully followed this book's recommendations throughout the entire application process. I applied to eleven APA accredited doctoral programs in clinical psychology and was accepted at EIGHT of them! The book's detailed suggestions were tremendously helpful and probably contributed to this remarkable outcome. However, I found it important to use other sources of information as well, since some data in the book is inaccurate. Inadequate information on how to select the "best-fit" school from among multiple offers was the book's greatest shortcoming. P.S. Don't worry about typing the application forms - just use very neat printing or handwriting. Type everything else, however.

Excellent comprehensive guide to APA approved psych programs

Everything you'd want to know about grad school is all in this one source. This book includes everthing you'd want to know about applying to graduate schools (overall acceptance rates, whether an advanced degree helps, what graduate schools consider to be important). However, rather than presenting the author's advice and opinions, the information is compiled from empirical research studies which adds much credibility to the information provided. Very helpful, is also the comprehensive guide of all APA approved combined, clinical and counselling psych programs. Provided are such things as scales indicating how clinically or research oriented a program is, the theoretical orientations of the faculty, what percentage of students are accepted into APA internships, the GPA and GRE cutoffs, number of applications received and number admitted, percentage of students receiving financial aid, percentage who hold advanced degrees, percentage of women and minorities, average years to completion of the program as well as research and clinical oppurtunities available. This book is very helpful in providing you with a general idea of what programs you may want to look into further, however the information doesn't always seem to be 100% accurate, therefore you may want to investigate further rather than accept all the information as factual.

This book gave me a realistic look at what it takes to get into a Ph.D. Program in psychology and how to go about getting what I needed. I have recommended this book to many others because most books on this subject only give you statistics of different schools- how many students they accept, what the average GPA is of someone who is accepted. THis book is much more practical and step by step.

For anyone interested in clincal or counseling graduate study, this book is essential. These areas are extremely competitive and one cannot go into the process "blind." The general APA guide can be useful, but it covers many areas and mainly gives the basic facts on all programs. On the other hand, this book is very specialized. It gives information on the programs, but also includes invaluable information relevant to clinical and counseling psychology training. It has information on the programs, but also tells you how to prepare yourself, so you get in to those programs.

I am interested in clinical health psychology and this book was a great help. It has a useful index of programs by subject area. It also has a self-rating from programs about how strongly they emphasize research or clinical practice. It is essential to find schools that will provide you with the experiences you are looking for.

Overall, this book will help you find programs that suit your needs and maximize your potential for getting accepted to them!
