Very interesting read

As someone new to the world of numismatics (but interested in Morgans) I was a bit confused by all the varieties, mintmarks, etc. This book explained everything to me. The history is quite fascinating. I am looking forward to getting my first "CC". Overall, a very heplful and well written book. 0794817742511122004-09-14

I hate Morgan dollars, but I enjoyed this book

Earning my living from numismatics, I can't afford to miss reading just about any book from the field of numismatics. So, I set myself down for some boring reading since I just hate Morgan dollars. But I was engrossed. Mr Bowers is a capable author as well as a famous numismatist. The history of all U.S. dollars is covered in brief, and then the history of why the Morgan dollar was even minted in the first place. Continues with how the original dies were made and includes portions of letters and notes from the people actually involved. There's intrigue, double-crossing, mystery, and so forth -- all in a reference book about one particular coin. You'd just never expect it. Of course, the remainder of the book deals with minting the coins and then a blow-by-blow for each date and mint in the series.07948177425992004-06-11

Excellent Succint Description of The Morgan Silver Dollar

This book gives a concise desription of both the historical development of Morgan Silver Dollars as well as pratical information in determining the highlights of each Morgan Silver Dollar according to the chronological year. The book is informative and descriptive in its interpretation of the Morgan Silver Dollar. Most important the reading isn't dry but keeps you intrigued, especially the historical data associated with the Morgan Silver Dollar Series. The book is well written and definitely an addition to any numismatic literary collection.07948177425332004-04-09

Pharmacotherapy casebook with no answers.

I purchased this item along with the Pharmacotherapy text book. It provides a number of scenarios for each chapter. The first scenario is relatively easy, the second is pretty tough to work through. The negative part of this is that it doesn't tell you the answers to the cases, nor the best way to go about getting to the answer. It does show you that everything isn't a text book case. Some of the cases are very random, just like patients are going to be. I guess it provides a real life lesson, sometimes there is no best answer and the true judgement is in the eyes of the practitioner. Nevertheless, I still gave it an ok rating because I'm trying to learn the material and this is just a bunch of scenarios with no answers.B001EV6GIE5002008-10-06

Shipped very quickly and in very good conditions

I want to say I received the book within a week from ordering it, I don't remember exactly, but it was quicker than other books I have ordered from other sellers. It came in brand new, wrapped in plastic, along with the textbook. Good service!B001EV6GIE5552007-02-25

great little book

Although I am not an expert, I am a scholar, and I found this book of poems by Sappho who lived in 700 BC Greece a pleasure to read. I liked the design and layout, and the translation is geared to today's readers.06726046475332005-04-12

A translation.

More or less 150 years after Homer's Iliad, Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos west off the coast what is present Turkey. (Due to political upheavel she went two times in exile, the second time to Sicily for a short time ). <br /> <br />Sappho takes a special place among the poets of Antiquity. She was already famous in her own time. Plato said that she was the tenth Muse and someone called her poetry " as refreshing as a morning breeze ". Her poems are vivid and she needs only a few words to describe essential human feelings. She calls solitude for instance " this icy numbness of being alone ". <br />( Nice to know: from Sappho's poems remain about 500 lines. All Tragedies by Aeschylus have a total of 8144 lines. Conclusion: What's left of Sappho's poems is next to nothing. ) <br /> <br />" Wedding of Andromache " is one of the most vivid descriptions in the poetry of Antiquity. It gives an almost journalistic account of the homecoming of Hector and Andromache. A fragment of Barnstone's translation: <br />" ... <br />and all set out for Troy <br />in a confusion of sweet-voiced flutes, citharas, <br />and small crashing cymbals <br />and young girls sang a loud heavenly song <br />..." <br /> <br />Sappho excels also in describing landscapes and nature ( something you don't find often in Ancient literature ). A fragment of " Aphrodite of the flowers ", <br />"... <br />Here ice water babbles through the apple branches <br />and roses leave shadow on the ground <br />..." <br /> <br />This translation was published in 1998 but as a work of art in itself, it's by no means outdated. <br />0672604647510122000-02-13

Elegant in its simplicity

This polished translation brilliantly reflects those spare but sparkling lines from the winsome poet of a lonely isle and heart. I find it still superb after many readings. Highly recommended.0672604647529311998-11-28

Achingly Beautiful

"To Eros: You crush me." The tenderness and splendor of Sappho's poetry has never been so lusciously rendered as in this translation. Every little word sings with love and warmth. Thank you, Willis Barnstone, for omitting the cumbersone ellipses and brackets of translations past. Now we can enjoy Sappho's passion undisturbed.translated from the Ancient Greek by Barnstone 05202231280192835890081121288203757245160140268863271598011General10399Classics17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books713386011General AAS10399Classics17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books15959311Ancient Greek11811Instruction11773Foreign Languages21Reference1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB0007H2TCIhttp://www.amazon.com/Van-Gogh-Q-L-P-Rene%C3%8C%C2%81-Huyghe/dp/B0007H2TCI%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0007H2TCI6185361René HuygheUnknown BindingCrown PublishersEnglishEnglishCrown Publishers95Book1964Crown PublishersCrown Publishers0000005.041B0007H2TCI5002008-07-01

Van Gogh

Eyewitness Books are filled with wonderful photographs and pictures. They tell great stories and information about a wide number of nonfiction topics. This book is about Vincent Van Gogh. It covers his life and works right up to his death. The book is written for grades 5 and up. I use them for a teaching tool for ESOL students in a middle school setting. The reading can be tough but great for the more advanced kids. The photographs and pictures help a lot in bringing an understanding about a topic to a student who doesn't understand much English. My homeroom kids love these books too. I highly recommend them to teachers and parents alike. B0007H2TCI5222005-07-22

Pleasing to the eye

This is an easy to read, summary of his life, with nice pictures and information.B0007H2TCI511112000-12-10

WELL WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED PLUS SUCCINCT INFO! FOR AGE 9-99!

First of all I must say anything DK Publishing touches turns to gold; and the same goes double to infinity for Vincent. You would not believe the information packed into this 64 page carry anywhere book full of photographs of family and places he lived, amazing sketches, personal belongings, influences, quotes, and over 70 of his most popular and beautiful paintings and so much more! This is for everyone! It does not include "Starry Night" however.<p>Here are the contents: 1 YOUTH AND FAMILY 2 LIFE IN ENGLAND 3 PREACHING AND POVERTY 4 THE IMAGE OF THE SOWER 5 ETTEN AND THE HAGUE 6 PEASANTS AT WORK 7 A LOVE OF NATURE 8 A MATTER OF FAITH 9 A PEASANT MEAL 10 ARRIVAL IN ANTWERP 11 THE ANTWERP ACADEMY 12 A PARISIAN EXPERIENCE 13 IMAGES OF PARIS 14 THE IMPRESSIONISTS 15 NEW APPROACHES 16 JAPANESE INFLUENCES 17 SUNFLOWERS 18 A STUDY IN YELLOW 19 THE LURE OF THE SOUTH 20 VAN GOGH AND GAUGUIN 21 A HEROIC SELF PORTRAIT 22 THE AFFLICTED ARTIST 23 NATURAL STUDIES 24 COPIES 25 PROVENCAL LANDSCAPE 26 AN ERRATIC RECOVERY 27 A RETURN TO THE NORTH 28 THE FINAL ACT 29 KEY DATES/ VAN GOGH COLLECTIONS 30 GLOSSARY/ WORKS ON EXHIBIT 31 INDEX/ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<p>What makes this book so enjoyable is that it has it all. Most books I've seen on Vincent are either loaded with art but the book layout is impossible to read due to lack of organization; or the opposite--books with tons of information but nothing but black and white thumbnail sketches. This book is a gem; extremely colorful plus has some black and white-- but each and every page is fully organized and beautiful to read and look at. Bruce Bernard, you have got to be the most organized man in the universe! WOW!<p>A must own for anyone and everyone! Especially the beginner to intermediate van Gogh enthusiast, however; the personal belongings, photographs, quotes and succinctness of this book would be well appreciated by the most acumen of Vincent's studiers/admirers.<p>P.S. I highly recommend this book and any other of the series of Eyewitness books that strike your fancy. I also own book #25 Crystal and Gems. There are 110 different books from everything to Music, Fossils, Reptiles, Invention, Weather, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Bible Lands, Volcano and Earthquake, Shark; Aztec, Inca and Maya; Castle, Pyramid, Ancient China, Archeology, North American Indian, Ocean, Battle, Witches and Magic-Makers, Space Exploration, Crime Detection, Force and Motion, Chemistry, Time and Space, Astronomy, Earth, Human Body, Medicine, Technology, Electronics, Renaissance, Impressionism, Goya, Manet, Monet, Leonardo & his times, Future, Mythology, Titanic, Football, Hurricane & Tornado, Presidents, Baseball....on and on! Oh I've got to buy a few more I see!B0007H2TCI4992000-05-06

Good things come in small packages

For a smaller book designed to give a high level overview of Van Gogh's life and career as an artist, this book is surprisingly informative and well written. Van Gogh's life is covered in a well researched commentary and there are also sub-sections devoted specifically to "Masterpieces". The graphics are excellent and the analysis clear and concise. In terms of a good, brief overview of Vincent van Gogh, this book is first rate.Another title from The Crown Art Library, the most useful monographs available on a wide range of significant artists. Each volume is written by an internationally recognized authority and is generously illustrated with full-color reproductions of the artist's paintings and two-color reproductions of sketches and line drawings.07894488070756617685156458173X078945584607894558541000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books1901223426http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Well-Little-Bear-Buchholz/dp/1901223426%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1901223426Q.

Beautiful

I love this book. It is a beautiful bed-time story for little boys. I know the story by heart from reading it so often; and have also given the book as a gift. A must have for all little bears.19012234265332000-03-24

For everyone who has a bear

I bought this book for our own bear, last Christmas.He never has insomnia, but was as delighted as his owners were to read this enchanting story, enjoying the dreamlike prose and illutrations. This book isn't just for children. It's for the child inside all of us, so that we never forget the magic and innocence of being young, and more importantly, that we never forget the importance of bears. Remember - look after you bear, whether you're 2 or 92.19012234265331999-10-08

An excellent bedtime story!

The comments from the Vermont reader match my feelings about Sleep Well, Little Bear exactly. The prose IS gentle, descriptive, and wonderful. The artwork, however, is so truly beautiful. I especially appreciated Buchholz's use of light. The text and the soft, easy, lovingly detailed pictures makes it a very lulling read. I'm keeping this for my (very) future grandchildren.19012234265441997-10-23

Fabulous picture book

This is an truly lovable book. A little bear, in typical little boy style, can't quite get to sleep so he reviews his day of being a pirate on the river that flows past his house, and helping old Mrs Rose with her garden, and other wonders of a child's (and bear's) life. The prose is sweet and gentle and clever and lovely, but what really makes this book is the artwork--surreal, truly beautiful pictures of the circus clown playing his violin to put a baby elephant to sleep, and the little bear peering out his bedroom window at the moon, and the night musicians wandering through the meadow, and the deer in the mist. Buy it for yourself, lend it to your kids.<div>Not since <i>Goodnight Moon</i> have the rhythms of bedtime been so well played as in this enchanting picture book. Instead of counting sheep, an insomniac little bear sends himself to sleep by contemplating the nighttime world from the bedroom window, remembering the day's adventures and planning for tomorrow's. At the back of the book, waiting to be discovered, is a special magic letter that has materialized out of the story, for each reader to color and place under his or her pillow to ensure "a beautiful dream and a good night."<br></div>15679217010394800915713072011General AAS4Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0471887692http://www.amazon.com/Statistical-Intervals-Practitioners-Probability-Statistics/dp/0471887692%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0471887692850402http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41QQ3VBR5AL._SL75_.jpg7547http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41QQ3VBR5AL._SL160_.jpg160101http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41QQ3VBR5AL.jpg475300Gerald J.

Fantastic, but found an error

A fantastic book! It was published just as I had finished collecting all the journal articles I could find on statistical intervals. (Years ago, Meeker told me that he and Gerry were thinking of writing a second edition, but apparently it didn't happen.) I did find an error: On p.131, expression 7.7, the first inequality is incorrect. I believe that it should read m/(y+1)>= (n|x)F... for the lower bound. <br /> <br />There is FREE software for calculating some of these intervals. See the index page http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wqmeeker/StInt/ <br /> <br />My one disappointment about the book is that it omits some equations/algorithms for estimating some statistical intervals, offering instead graphs and tables. In these cases, if one wishes to extend or modify a result, one must either find the original source article or derive the missing equations/algorithms oneself, using the tables and graphs to check one's work. <br /> <br />Finally, note that for many intervals, use of results based on an assumption of normality (or other underlying distribution) will yield poorer estimates (less tight statistical bound estimates) than will the use of distribution-free methods. This is true even if one's data appears to be normally distributed and tests for non-normality do not reject the normality assumption. <br /> <br />-Stephen B. Cohen, Ph.D.0471887692528282008-02-09

specialized book on interval estimates, one of a kind

Gerald Hahn has spent many years in industry working for the General Electric Company. He and Bill Meeker have written this very unique book that provides an up-to-date treatment of statistical methods for interval estimation. <br />In most introductory courses students are taught about statistical confidence intervals. However, there are many other types of statistical intervals that are appropriate for particular applications. Most students, particularly engineering students, only learn about confidence intervals and hence they apply them whenever they need a statistical interval. But often they are wrong because the problem really calls for a prediction interval or a tolerance interval. This circumstance is what motivated these authors to write this book. <br /> <br />The techniques are standard and are covered in other statistical texts. However, this is the only book with statistical intervals as its theme. It provides the methods and the context for using the various intervals and more importantly makes the distinctions that help the students overcome possible confusion. This is an excellent practical reference. Its many tables make it a great reference book. On many occasions I have needed Gaussian tolerance intervals or sometimes nonparametric tolerance intervals. I go to the tables in this book first. It also includes some discussion of bootstrap confidence intervals and other asymptotic approaches in Chapter 12 where Bayesian intervals are also introduced. Chapter 13 concentrates on 9 case studies and the appropriate intervals to be used in each case. Other practical issues such as determining the sample size requirements for precise statistical intervals are also discussed in various chapters. <br /> <br />04718876925552004-06-09

An essential reference

"Statistical Intervals" has for years been a valuable tool in my professional work, which focuses on environmental statistics. Hahn & Meeker's discussion of how to interpret various intervals--confidence, tolerance, prediction--first opened my eyes to the ubiquity and utility of these techniques. I since have found it worthwhile to have a working knowledge of them all; that would scarcely have been possible without having such a handy reference.<p>The tables are getting dog-eared and gray from use, especially A-12 (factors for computing Normal distribution one-sided tolerance bounds), in testimony to the frequency I refer to them. The book also contains extensive graphics for estimating intervals and for determining sample sizes: these typically obviate any need to refer to tables or do the computations. There are some neat formulas, clearly described, that one can easily implement in a spreadsheet. These all appear in other texts and journal articles, but having them all in one place, well organized, makes them particularly worthwhile.<p>This is, indeed, a reference: a statistical "cookbook" if you will (intended in a positive sense, not perjoratively!). This means you will find little theoretical justification for any of the material. For each technique expect to find a clear definition, lucid descriptions, discussions of how to use any supporting formulas, graphs, or tables, all followed by a clear worked example. Of course there's an extensive bibliography if your theoretical curiosity is piqued.<p>One common technique you will not find (although it is mentioned and references provided) is computing statistical intervals for linear regression analysis. This subject, however, is covered well in other books (such as Draper and Smith's Applied Regression Analysis), so the omission does no harm and helps keep the book to a manageable 400 pages or so.<p>There are some obscure applications you will not find, in part because they were only under development at the time this book was written. For instance, there is a specialized (but widely applied) theory of "k best of m" prediction limits that is used in groundwater monitoring. For such specialized applications you will have to go elsewhere (such as Robert Gibbons' book on "Statistical Methods for Groundwater Monitoring"). Nevertheless, Hahn and Meeker do a very good job of covering the most widely used applications of statistical intervals.<p>I do not recollect ever finding a mathematical error or even a typographical error. Over the years I have also checked, and completely verified, the entries in several of the key tables. All in all, this book is remarkably clean and error free.<p>(This review is based on the 1991 edition; I do not know whether there have been further editions.)0471887692519202000-06-12

wonderful text specializing in various interval estimates

Gerald Hahn has spent many years in industry working for the General Electric Company. He and Bill Meeker have written this very unique book that provides an up-to-date treatment of statistical methods for interval estimation. <p>In most introductory courses students are taught about statistical confidence intervals. However, there are many other types of statistical intervals that are appropriate for particular applications. Most students, particularly engineering students, only learn about confidence intervals and hence they apply them whenever they need a statistical interval. But often they are wrong because the problem really calls for a prediction interval or a tolerance interval. This circumstance is what motivated these authors to write this book. <p>The techniques are standard and are covered in other statistical texts. However, this is the only book with statistical intervals as its theme. It provides the methods and the context for using the various intervals and more importantly makes the distinctions that help the students overcome possible confusion. This is an excellent practical reference. Its many tables make it a great reference book. On many occasions I have needed Gaussian tolerance intervals or sometimes nonparametric tolerance intervals. I go to the tables in this book first. It also includes some discussion of bootstrap confidence intervals and other asymptotic approaches in Chapter 12 where Bayesian intervals are also introduced. Chapter 13 concentrates on 9 case studies and the appropriate intervals to be used in each case. Other practical issues such as determining the sample size requirements for precise statistical intervals are also discussed in various chapters.Presents a detailed exposition of statistical intervals and emphasizes applications in industry. The discussion differentiates at an elementary level among different kinds of statistical intervals and gives instruction with numerous examples and simple math on how to construct such intervals from sample data. This includes confidence intervals to contain a population percentile, confidence intervals on probability of meeting specified threshold value, and prediction intervals to include observation in a future sample. Also has an appendix containing computer subroutines for nonparametric statistical intervals.047148735X0471656313096139214204705102421563272822491548Statistics468218Mathematics468216Science & Mathematics465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713010011General AAS468218Mathematics468216Science & Mathematics465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713008011General AAS468216Science & Mathematics465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books227370Statistics227362Applied227361Mathematics173510Professional Science173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books713585011General AAS227361Mathematics173510Professional Science173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books13983Probability & Statistics226699Applied13884Mathematics75Science1000Subjects283155Books13924General13884Mathematics75Science1000Subjects283155Books713701011General AAS13884Mathematics75Science1000Subjects283155Books13857General75Science1000Subjects283155Books713674011General AAS75Science1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books31NHZG5F1VJ46My most heavily used stats books0978679806http://www.amazon.com/U-N-I-Q-U-E-Growing-Debra-J-Slover/dp/0978679806%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D09786798061959977http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XudoU2ohL._SL75_.jpg7549http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XudoU2ohL._SL160_.jpg160104http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XudoU2ohL.jpg500324Debra, J.

An excellent heart, mind, and spirit self-help guide

Written by youth and adult leadership trainer Debra J. Slover, U.N.I.Q.U.E: Growing the Leader Within is a self-help guide to cultivating purpose, aim, and leadership skills within oneself. Chapters discuss how to balance the four key behavioral attributes a leader needs (visualization, organization, harmonization, and energization), how to practice and attain the key traits needed for leadership, tips, tricks, and techniques for expressing the voice of the leader spirit within, and much more. Accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds, and drawing upon vignettes and the occasional gardening metaphor to illustrate its point, U.N.I.Q.U.E. is an excellent heart, mind, and spirit self-help guide, whether preparing to lead a business, a sports team, a coalition, a few friends, or simply oneself.09786798065002007-04-06

J.O.Y.O.U.S.

What a fantastic experience to read and feel. With the multitude of books out there with themes that touch the soul, this book clearly stands above the rest. As I read the book, I found myself touched but the hidden lessons all thought this beautiful 147 page experience. U.N.I.Q.U.E. Growing the Leader Within does not only transport you to a simpler time in your life by placing you within the pages, but I found that for myself, that it re-stimulated a part of the soul where learning and remembering was easy and not clouded by everyday pressures. To me that is the natural way to learn, and the natural progression into your Leader within. <br /> <br />The main character Huge represents a part of all of us that transfigures the beginning of everyday thought, every experience and every endeavor. You cannot begin anything without starting at Hugh! This book by the author Debra J. Slover, reminded me where I have been and where I will be going. The journey is never ending but full of light. That is what this book is for me. Pure light. <br />09786798065002007-04-05

Classroom Connections

My mom gave me a copy of U.N.I.Q.U.E. when it was first coming onto the market. Leadership Studies are an area of research for me and I am also an avid gardener, so she felt the metaphor of a Leadership Garden was a natural fit. She was right in many ways. After getting into the book, I realized there may be some potential for use in a leadership class. Along same time, my church was proposing a Community Garden to grow produce for the local food bank. Likewise, the university where I am getting my doctorate from and where I instruct was interested in enhancing Service Learning opportunities. A class was soon born using this book as a text that provides a focused journaling exercise for the students. This is coupled with coursework in global food issues such as water scarcity, climate change, Genetically Modified foods, and other topics. These are matched with exposure to local activists in each of these areas like organic farmers, farmer's market associations, and hunger activists. It seeks to make the "think globally, act locally" notion in a very real way with the personal empowerment to make a difference. I highly recommend Debra's book because of its readability and its multiple applications both within and outside the classroom.09786798065002007-03-11

Can a lost sheep really become a leader?

Can a lost sheep really become a leader? Why, yes! Of course! We all can! <br /> <br />At first, I thought the book was going to be just another tired lesson plan for finding your way in the world: but Deborah J. Slover's book, U.N.I.Q.U.E.: Growing the Leader Within, goes beyond the traditional self help doctrines to actively explain the ideas behind cultivating an individual leadership spirit. <br /> <br />Funny as it may seem, I followed Hugh the wayward sheep through the book's incredible Leadership Farm Fable where we learned the essential principles and behaviors needed to cultivate our leader spirit through a tour of the metaphorical Leadership Garden. <br /> <br />The first time I read the book I glossed over the actual exercises provided at the end of Hugh's stops on the Leadership Farm tour. But I was drawn by the author's honesty and compassion and by the intricate, beautiful illustrations that adorn the Fable. I reached for the book again and again. Each time I sat down to examine the Fable I found new depth in the story as well as in the author's commentary and soon found myself sitting at the kitchen table carefully completing each lesson. There I was, enthusiastically weeding out my negative tendencies and planting the positive behaviors needed to lead a more fulfilling life. <br /> <br />My absolute favorite concept presented by Deborah J. Slover is that Hugh and I and anyone else can develop into a leader that does not require commanding a following. Good leadership, the type taught in the lessons, allows everyone to become a great leader of their own lives with a unique purpose, aim and love: a type of leadership that means a workable, imaginative co-existence where everyone is a leader. <br /> <br />After reading the book, I imagined all sorts of people using the book to replace counter productive, self-victimization with new direction. I especially could visualize people in positions of authority using the book to understand how their role could be more empowering that overpowering. <br /> <br />I recommend the book to individuals looking for a private experience for self emancipation and to all types of groups looking for common instruction on developing a thriving, cooperative mission. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />712983011General AAS468220Business & Finance465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712986011General AAS468224Education465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2682Leadership2675Management & Leadership3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books4745Personal Transformation4736Self-Help10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books69838Leadership69829Education Theory10605Education53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books10635General10605Education53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713473011General AAS10605Education53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0439114667http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Your-Guy-Q-Discover-Magazine/dp/0439114667%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D04391146671969662http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518lar-vO0L._SL75_.jpg7546http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518lar-vO0L._SL160_.jpg16098http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518lar-vO0L.jpg500306Beth MayallMass Market Paperback646.779780439114660400439114667Scholastic PaperbacksEnglishEnglishEnglish660499USD$4.99Scholastic Paperbacks1144Book2000-07-01Scholastic PaperbacksAges 9-12Scholastic Paperbacks15420130USD$1.301USD$0.012500USD$25.0085410005.04104391146675002003-01-03

"What's your Guy-Q" is a must buy!

I loved it! The quizzes are cool and fresh, not like the same ones you see again and again in the magazines. I couldn't put it down! Beth Mayall is brilliant!Do you always flip straight to the quizzes in magazines? Well, check it out--here's a book that's <I>all</I> quizzes, all the time! What's your guy type? How far would you go to be popular? Are you fun to hang with? What does your room reveal about you? Do you study like a pro? There's a quiz for every occasion in this sassy little book. Teens can discover their true selves with sections on guys, friendship, the "inner you," family, school, and more. With her hip, dynamic style, Beth Mayall will appeal to adolescent girls with an itch to know more--about everything! The quizzes come with tips to put all this newfound knowledge to great use: how to come out of that shyness shell, for example. Or ways to chill out on an unrequited crush. The quizzes are only the beginning, though. Readers are encouraged to take control of their lives and turn themselves into the kind of people they really want to be. As Mayall points out, "no matter what your guy-Q, there isn't anything more attractive than knowing you're all that." For more in the super-sistuh, cool-chica mode, read Mayall's <I>Get Over It!</I>.

So much accomplished from so litte

This book is a vivid journalisitc exploration of the children's lives who have been affected or infected by the African Aids epidemic. Ms. Kew has rendered these little souls with a humanity that transcends the tradgey which is about to engulf them. With sales from this book, produced almost entirely from her own funds (which in itself is quite amazing), she has managed to build her first school in Africa to educate 500 orphans and to retrain adults for future employment. <p>It is a worthy read and acknowledgement that we are all in this together, whatever continent we happen to reside on.09729909095002004-05-20

One person can make a difference.

This beautiful book of African photos tells the touching story of a woman (Chelli Kew) who was compelled to help the aids orphans in Africa. She literally risked her life in this pursuit and against all odds has published this book. Sales proceeds from the book have enabled her to establish a school and continue down the path of helping many of the orphaned children. She is an excellent example of how one person can make a difference. Her story is truly inspiring and one that I have been proud to share with my family and friends. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in helping others and learning more about the disastrous aids situation in Africa.09729909095002004-05-19

A beautiful collection of photographs and reflections.

This book is a beautiful collection of stunning photographs, thoughtfully recorded impressions, vividly depicted stories, and honest reflections. Kew combines the power of imagery and words to tell the story of children orphaned by AIDS in Africa. The work she is doing is so valuable, and this book supports her efforts. I hope it opens the minds of many readers who care, like Kew, to make a difference.African Journal: A Child's Continent is an illuminating series of faces and stories highlighting the forgotten orphans of Southern Africa. A photographic journal 'describing' times spent with the extraordinary children orphaned by AIDS. This is a story of love, survival and courage. Using the lens of my camera I focus on grace, compassion and boundless love emanating at the core of each child, and not on their disease. <P>I have spent five years visiting orphanages for children whose parents had died of AIDS. At times I needed an ex-CIA operative as my chaperone. Garrulous and rough, whatever his past deeds, he now works to save abandoned children. Other times I traveled alone. <P>The story’s a compelling one, In Zimbabwe, for instance, whole villages are run by the children.1000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books
