Becker Books

Wonderful photography and detail description of old and historic roses. Important information on Nurseries and Growers to help find them.

I took several books on rose gardening from the library and found that this one is the best. The pictures are great, the explicit details are excellent. I have started the rooting procedure and that seems at the moment to be working. The correct amount of time has not elapsed. I highly recommend it to rose novices. The book is so well liked by me that I am going to purchase it

A brilliant and beautifully written book. Tons of information presented in a great way. A must read.

Nice book with lots of practical advice. Summarizes the most important Sarbanes-Oxley stuff in a way that makes it easy to understand.

When reading the first few chapters of this book, Becker describes living the "high-life" normally reserved for the rich and priveledged. A life of sailing around the world on a seemingly endless vacation, stopping in exotic locales of the South Pacific, Caribbean, Red Sea and Meditterean to absorb the rich culture as well as partake in various water sports in their ideal locations. While the first chapter is only around 20 pages or so, it took me an hour to get through it, because I kept putting down the book and conjuring up endless possible scenarios of this sort of paradise. When I did get through it though, I felt I was ready to quit the ratrace and take an extended vacation like I've taken before.

Becker certainly gives enough information to do just that- and then some. Greg walks you through each vital step of landing a place on a yacht and he gives you invaluable hints to succeed at each one of them. When you land your first yacht, you certainly want to keep this book with you as it has a vast and !USEFUL! database of marinas all over the globe. I think it's also important to point out that Greg recognizes and addresses the fact that there are many ways to go about this, whether you want to get formal training in sailing or just learn as you go, whether you want to start from the states or in some other foreign country, the scope of this book more than adequately addresses the prospective hitchhiker's major options.

If this sounds interesting to you at all, GET THIS BOOK! It not only serves as a marvelous introduction to a unique and fulfilling life, but also is a great reference, even for the seasoned veteran.

This book is great, but don't buy anything from Amazon. Your local bookstore can order this book in just a couple of days and you will help keep the small guy in business. Make a vow to yourself not to be lazy!

Fast moving story with likable characters. Started it on the plane and picked it up quick to finish it once I reached my destination. Glad the cover didn't have Fabio on it.

I found Secrets That You Keep to be a fast-paced engaging book with very beliveable, well-developed characters.Rachel Martin is a heroine for the thirty-something woman. The author's knowledge of Mexico and missonary life must be from first hand experience. Great job. I only hope there is a sequel in the works!

This is an excellent resource for evaluators, researchers, and treatment providers working with sex offenders. This book offers an inclusive analysis of past theories of sex offending and then offers a well grounded, comprehensive, and integrated model that can be used as a guide for future research, treatment, and evaluation. This model offers a means of conceptualizing disordered sexual behaviors in such a way as to guide future treatment and prevention models in a logical and cohesive manner. This is truly a step in the right direction for conceptualization of sex offender research, treatment, and prevention.

The collaborative work of Jill D. Stinson (Clinical Psychologist and Researcher at Fulton State Hospital -- a maximum-security forensic institution in Missouri), Bruce D. Sales (Professor Psychology, Sociology, Psychiatry, and Law, University of Arizona), and Judith V. Becker (Professor of Psychology and psychiatry, University of Arizona - and former President of both the International Academy of Sex Research and the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers), "Sex Offending: Causal Theories To Inform Research, Prevention, And Treatment" is a comprehensive, articulate, effectively organized and superbly presented combination of review and critique of current theories (along with supporting literature) on the reasons adolescent and adult males commit sex offenses that range from child molestation and rape, to voyeurism and indecent exposure, along with other types of violent offenses against children and adults. "Sex Offending" provides an informed and informative survey of theories that include biological, cognitive, behavioral, social learning, personality-psychodynamic, and evolution concepts, as well as combinations of these factors. "Sex Offending" then presents the authors own and original integrative theory of sex offending, how it may influence future research, as well as prevention and treatment efforts with sex offenders. A work of academic excellence from beginning to end, "Sex Offending" is an invaluable, seminal, and strongly recommended addition to professional and academic library Psychology & Psychiatry reference collections and supplemental reading lists.

All the volumes in this series are great for review of the language. I'm going back to Thailand after 20 years of being out of the country. I was once fairly fluent, but I've forgotten a lot of vocabulary. This is a great help for getting back the language quickly. It is for advanced speakers, however. If you couldn't speak Thai before, you're probably still not going to speak Thai after getting these CDs. There are some aspects of the language that can only be learned by being there. Nonetheless, this will broaden your vocabulary, and give some good practice.

some very useful phrases and words, and the bonus rude slang at the back is worth the purchase!... and the five stars...some choice naughty stuff...explicit, funny and colourful, very Thai.

This book got me started better than my teachers when I started HTML. It teaches everything you need to know from start, to making your site live. Helpful even if you dont have GoLive.

This is an excellent beginners or intermediate book on go live. The thing I like about this book, is that you don't get lost in a bunch of technical jargon or mumbo jumbo. Very clear and concise and a good read. I recommending it to anyone who is a beginner or intermediate in go live.

This collection of stories and photographs highlight the myriad relationships between horses and their owners. Whether these stories are captured in text with real stories or in photos, each vignette brings a respite from everyday life; offering the reader an escape into the wonderful world of horses and their unique personalities. Different writers, different photographers all bring their unique perspectives. There is something for everyone in this book. Enjoy!

I'm the lead photographer and a contributing writer for The Ultimate Horse Lover. I wrote one chapter about my beloved and recently departed horse Alibar and one chapter about how to photograph horses. You'll recognize many of my favorite equine images that I've taken over the past two years, plus the work of many other talented writers and photographers.

The Ultimate Horse Lover is a collection of stories about horses, tips on horse care, and full-page color photos of beautiful horses. I love the variety and fresh feel to it- there are up-to-date chapters about saddle fit, nutrition, and behavior. I remember spending my entire childhood poring over horse books- this is one of those books! Some stories will make you smile and some will make you shed a tear- they are all written from the heart.

It was a pleasure to work with this group of people- they are the team that put together the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

This is a fantastic gift for horse lovers of all ages and disciplines.

This was a great book! It kind of "balanced out" the story--the perspective is different than that of Elisabeth Elliot's.

I enjoyed Olive Fleming Liefeld's book, Unfolding Destinies, immensely! The author realistically illustrates that the Christian walk is a marvelous adventure involving listening intently to God's voice for direction while traveling in the physical world of human emotions, needs, and societal pressures. Mrs. Liefeld does a superb job of presenting the joys, struggles, heartbreaks, questions, and blessings from God that she and Pete shared during their brief time together, as well as what God has done in her life since then.

In addition, I was very moved by the forward in the book written by Mrs. Liefeld's husband, Dr. Walter Liefeld.

This is a marvelous love story: the love between husband and wife, the love of God's people for those that don't know Him, and the love of a great God for all His people!

I recommend this book very highly!
