The federal workplace is full of people in key positions that ought to be leaders, but they're not. Rank and paygrade do not make leaders. Instead, leadership has to be grown. John points to -- and comments on leadership -- traits. More importantly, he points out that managers, bosses, and leaders are not necessarily the same. There are major differences. Great work! Easy to read! A must for leaders and those that aspire to be leaders.

Having taught Language Arts for 15 years, it is clear to me that Dr. Schuster is absolutely correct in his arguments against traditional grammar instruction. I hope he will continue to write about alternative instructional models, giving teachers support, encouragement, and appropriate materials for more effective instruction in reading and writing. His sentence combining workbook series, Sentence Mastery, is a wonderful basic text for intermediate level students wrestling with sentence development. It's hard to find, but worth it! I hope Amazon will pick it back up.

New Testament Greek grammars refer to the Granville Sharpe rule, with a short definition of the first of his six rules. For the Greek exegete's library, this volume is as important as BAGD, Kittle, Thayer's, or the TDNT. Every seminary library, and each serious student of the Greek language, should have a well-worn copy of this volume on their shelf. The minimal price of the volume does not reflect it's true value.

This work touched me so deeply, that my ribs still ache from the penetration a year later. Amazon should be ashamed for peddling this priceless piece of poetry for this paltry pittance. This outrageous insult demonstrates how, in this neo-conservative, capitalistic society, the concept of value really isn't determined by market forces, but by the small minds, and shriveled hearts of the captains of industry.

$5.95? $5.95? I pay a hundred times that merely to bask in the memory of this work.

Clearly the talents of Mr. Fumano and his assistant Ms. Turko are wasted in the banal practice of law.

OK, I am not a lawyer nor a law student. I am just a guy who decided to "fight city hall" (well, the State, really) and, in the course of this, learned a heck of a lot more about contract law, administrative law, statutory construction, court procedure, etc., than I ever thought I would.

Along the way, I discovered the Restatement (2d) of the Law: Contracts. Well, this is the text of _that_ (including examples, which are essential to understanding nuances, the main points, etc.)...so it is the actual restatement without the many volumes of case citations to specific sections (which is really important for actual briefs/args in your jurisdiction, but carrying around all of those volumes...well, just get this, instead! ;-). If you are learning contract law, this is a _great_ reference. It is a great size to carry around--unlike the multi-volume, full ed'n...--and this is really important.

It also has a nice binding which appears to be reasonably durable.

[Now superceded by a 4th ed'n which has some more extras, but is still essentially the Rest. (2d) Contracts.]

I'm a non-legal person who is involved in a case against a State agency, and I'm using this book as a major part of my preparation of an appellate brief.

The book is the text of the Restatement (2nd) of the law of Contract, along with the non-citation portions of the text (illustrations/comments are included). The text itself is very clear, and the comments/illustrations are well-chosen to explain/illumine particular distinctions and other points.

Though a person using this as I do often needs to ultimately also have the case history upon which rules are based, this book is easy to carry around and read/refer to/etc. during the course of writing a brief or studying the basic common law of contracts.

It is surprisingly well-written and clear. Anyone working in this area would do well to invest in a copy (check for current edition; I believe I actually have the Third Ed.).

From debt to domination, never did I imagine that this subject could actually entertain as well as educate me. This could serve as a blue print for many businesses under pressure!

The title speaks for itself. A refreshing, non traditional approach to leadership in today's society. Well worth the read. Valuable resource.

This book is fantastic. I highly recommend it for a mature audience!
