Tears . . . I am still recovering from this poignant love story. I guess I'll always be a hopeless romantic, and Marguerite Bell knows how to work her magic. She is a consummate writer when it comes to the Napoleonic Era and will spark your imagination and passions.

The year is 1803. England and France have a tenuous peace at the moment. Little Letty Craythorne, sister to Sarah and daughter of the Admiral, agrees to marry Captain Oliver Westland of the British Navy who was jilted by sister Sarah. Immediately after the marriage Oliver leaves for Antigua without consummating the marriage.

A year later Letty is summoned to join her husband and during the voyage to Antigua, she is abducted by the French Captain Armand d'Anviers as war has begun between England and France. They sail the Atlantic together for two months until Captain Oliver Westland's ship arrives to reclaim his wife. Of course, Letty and Armand have discovered a truly passionate love, which has no hope for a life together.

The story is complex and rich with intrigue, human foibles, love and compassion.
The author doesn't miss a beat, and her rhythm carries you right along to a tearful, yet satisfying conclusion.

Other books by this author include: A Rose for Danger, The Devil's Daughter, Bride by Auction and The Distant Drum. The Pride of Eagles will be published sometime this year. She also writes under the name of Ida Pollock and books under this name include: The Gentle Masquerade, Lady in Danger, The Uneasy Alliance, Country Air and summer Conspiracy.

It is my opinion that Marguerite Bell's writing is of exceptional quality, and she is certainly an equal to Amanda Quick for historical romance. I believe her books are well known in England, and I wish her much success in the United States.

iLumina is the best Bible software available anywhere. This book contains many hints that make iLumina a more useful product.

Reva, one of the top five information brokers in the USA, sought out and interviewed 35 professional or gifted amateur commercial online (fee for service) searchers and provides in this book a delightful free-flowing conversation with each of them as a "master's class" for intelligence and information professionals.

I've owned every edition of this sourcebook since it was first published. It has grown larger and larger over the years as new groups have formed in real space and on the Internet. I wouldn't be without this book because it addresses almost every concern known. In addition to the basic information on groups and how to reach them, the sourcebook provides some useful definitions of terms, explanation of the concept of self help and much more. There is a nice overview of effectiveness research on such groups as well. As an educator I find that students are really interested in knowing about this book and they use it to help with some of their research.

Serentity gives us an insight in people, their motives of behaviour, social standards and in the way the book is written, it undoubtly holds us a mirror. The way different characters behave and their feellings, shows a great insight the autor himself has in life. So during the book the reader is able to identify him/herself with the different characters. But as a result, the book itself can be confronting as well! This might turn off people who are not ready to be confronted with their innerselves, as we find them e.g. in the different psychotherapeutic sessions that are very realistic described in the novell.

The humoristic passages however help us not to take things in the book to serious, allthough the whole subject of course is. The rapid course of events, the very original way in which characters are introduced and the whole plot make the book very worthwile reading!

I'm looking forward to the sequential book from the author.

The Sixth Market is an excellent primer for new securities traders. It is well written, easy to read, and explains the subject of trading in a simple, but uncomplicated manner. The three authors combined 60 years trading experience provides readers with the basics for understanding what trading is all about and what is required to succeed. The authors are not only traders, but are also educators, and two of them have written numerous books on trading.

The first part of the book provides a short historical perspective on the securities markets from the beginning until the present time (Sixth Market refers to self-directed traders who trade electronically). The book also contains a 14 page glossary and a list of recommended reading, selecting a broker, and getting the right computer and trading setup.

More than half the book is devoted to the Six Steps necessary to prepare for trading. It is a comprehensive approach that includes:

1. Building Self-awareness ( goals, trading style, success factors, and discipline) 2. Learning Market Fundamentals (markets, orders, Level II, short sales, trading rules, selecting broker) 3. Understanding Charts (market psychology, candlesticks, support and resistance, moving averages) 4. Trading From Reliable Chart Setups (High probability patterns, trading plan, gaps, exits) 5. Mastering Your Trading Plan (risk and reward, money management, discipline) 6. I Don't Have the Willpower to be Disciplined (self-directed study)

Theey to trading is a solid education, discipline, and a trading plan. That is what this book covers, and that is why is great for beginners. There is no fluff in this book or war stories just the facts. I highly recommend this book to those just starting out in trading.

I bought this book recently from the main publisher; purely on spec. I was totally thrilled by its content! A collection of weird and perverted stories, full of (as it says on the packet) glittery smut and delicious titillation!
The stories themselves are truely unique and superbly written. The author sets you down in some believable historical, futuristic or warped, parallel universe and bases you in a large dollop of sex!

SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN CORRECTIONS is a fine piece of scholarship, with terrific classroom potential. Each chapter tackles a different important problem
in the field of corrections and reviews and/or proposes realistic solutions. It draws upon the traditional literature on jails, prisons and community corrections, and it integrates many of the ideas of the Convict Criminology Perspective. The book cites and references many of the most important works published by ex-convict criminology professors. Moreover, in addition to writing the Foreword, a number of Convict Criminologists served as reviewers of selected chapters.

I think this book is great! I would have expected a book on stocks and investing to be rather dry but this book is very well written and quite readable. When I think of online investing, I think of buying and selling online but from this book I found there is an astounding amount of SEC and other information on companies out on the Internet these days enabling me to be able to research online as well. The authors have spelled out just what to look for and where to go for researching potential stock investments. The glossary in the back is handy (for me as a novice) as well as the appendix of investing related web site reviews. I have always been leery of stock investing, leaving it to my better half, but with the understanding and resources I am getting from this book, I have the confidence to venture carefully out... I would think ANYBODY who does any stock investing would DEFINITELY want to read this book!

I loved this book. It presented a balanced picture of aa likely future in which we won't be limited by today'slow-bandwidth telecommunications. A lot of different topics were covered -- jobs, education, relationships, shopping, health care, politics, and so on. Good book.
