Hunter Books

This is a very nice little book. It gives beautiful color photos of the game. There is a nice section on some beautiful dogs and a practical guide on guns and equipment.

The USA style Western USA hunting is a little different than the classical British and European style that I favor, but we can certainly all get along here.

This book was clearly done by someone who loves the birds, the dogs and a day in field.

This book reads like an introductory encyclopedia for upland game bird hunting. It gives you a very good overall view of most aspects of this type of hunt. For the novice it is perfect in that it goes through all what it entails to go upland game bird hunting, as well as covers practically all species you could hunt for. The strength is that it covers most everything - what it lacks in depth does not quite matter as other litterature is available for the one that seeks to "dig in" further. I clearly recommend this book both for the novice as well as the expert that would need a reference guide.

This is a great book for beginner upland hunters. As with all "hunting and Fishing Library" books I have read this one is well written and has incredible pictures. It has great sections on guns, tactics and techniques for finding birds and even a review of dogs suitable for upland hunting.

This quality, but inexpensive, book provides an informative overview of upland bird hunting, with chapters on shotgun basics & equipment, and separate chapters on all major North American upland birds.

The excellent photography & layout compliments the analysis of each bird species, its habitat, and how best to hunt them, as well as introducing the various hunting dog breeds.

This book should be in every upland hunter's library--novice and experienced hunter alike.

(This is another excellent book in the Hunting & Fishing Library--anyone who has read the Wild Turkey, Deer, Trout, Fly Tying, or Duck Hunting volumes will know what I'm talking about!)

Upland Game Birds (The Hunting & Fishing Library) by Dick Sternberg is such a wonderful book. Re-reading it I was reminded of when I was a kid and my Dad who was also my hero, would come home from hunting and head for the cooling room in the garage and hang the pheasants and ducks he had gotten up to age.

We would have great conversations and start talking about wildrice and mushroom stuffing and all the great dinners we would enjoy in the winter months from the game he brought home.

Dick Sternberg is such a gifted writer and reading his books you find yourself awed by the photos and graphics and like the best classes you remember from school you realize that learning can be fun as well as worthwhile.

With pheasant season just weeks away I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the book that I have not tried yet. And the recipes are easy to follow and do not require you to travel 50 miles to some quaint overpriced shop to buy some spice listed since everything he uses can be found at your local grocer. Unless you live in the Alaska wilderness.

Wonderfully told autobiography and provides great insight into the life of the common soldier in the Cival War. Well written, descriptive accounts, what an era.

The best autobiography of a Confederate Civil War Soldier I have read. I hope it is reprinted, great Christmas gifts. A must have!

This book is a wonderful, slow, compelling read that places you beside the rebel soldiers as they march from day to day, from battle to battle. We are marching to Gettysburg now, where a battle was not supposed to be fought. Accidents of war. If anyone out there has more info on Alexander Hunter, I would appreciate anything you can tell me by e-mail. Thanks very much. Steve

I have never read anything of the Civil War that so delineates the war from the perspective of the "man in the ranks...the Private." The author has allowed time to temper his writings so that what he writes of gives a real sense of honesty...it is what happened, not from the pen of the "generals'" but of one who carried the fight personally to the foe as well as living the reality of the war day to day...a rare find, indeed!

This is a good book and an interesting first person story from another time and place. However my copy abruptly ends while he is taking a prisoner down south. He stops at a farm house for the night and then the book just ends. Did the author never complete the book or did I just get a bad copy? Despite this I would still highly recommend reading this book.

This is a good book to help find and relieve pain. I use it in conjunction with my THERALASER T2000 to really get rid of pain and kick start the healing process.

If you want a comprehensive guide to pain relief, buy this book. Phyllis Berger offers a interdisciplinary, non traditional approach that you won't get when you go to your primary physician. Multiple case studies make the reading easy and informative.

Anyone who has ever endured pain for a length of time will understands how important it is to find relief.All too often, stretches ,heat, icing, and medications fall short. Many have learned to search farther afield for help and relief.
This book presents case studies, explanations of the reason for the pain, and a wonderful variety of treatments. The depth of understanding by this author is incredible. She offers options for treatment of everything from skin hunger, ( a very real condition resulting from the absence of touch) to neuralgia. Treatments are suggested relevant to the conditions discussed. .
Since many of us are using alternative treatments more and more often, this book is an invaluable resource . Treatments we have heard about but may not be familiar with, such as laser treatments, acupuncture, TENS machines and more are explained in simple easy to understand. The mind body connection is addressed and the importance of emotional well being for good health is presented with suggestions on how to achieve this physical harmony. Laughter, meditation and prayer should not be discounted, as they can be very helpful in conquering pain and achieving the relief and ability to cope with pain that many of us seek.

"The Journey to Pain Relief," by Phyllis Berger, is broken down into 12 chapters. The Appendix at the end covers Acupuncture Techniques for Specific Conditions, Treatment with TENS and Treatment with MDC.

"The Journey to Pain Relief" begins by defining the difference between acute and chronic pain. Acute pain "serves as a warning that an injury has taken place." Chronic pain is pain that never seems to go away. "The key to preventing chronic pain is to treat acute pain immediately." Chronic pain can have serious penalties for both the body and the mind. Pain affects us emotionally as well as physically. Pain can cause us to limit our movements in a particular area and it may create emotional stress. The higher our level of pain the more fear helplessness and anxiety we may feel. These emotions lead to sleep problems and depression.

"You have the right to seek relief from pain." You should talk to your doctor about your pain and he or she should listen. A patient needs to be proactive. Try to gather as much information as possible.

Find a way to laugh. Laughter seems to lower blood pressure, reduces stress, and strengthens the immune system. "Patients with chronic pain should seek out situations and activities that bring joy, happiness, and laughter into their lives in order to strengthen their system, uplift their spirits, and reduce the depression, anxiety and fear associated with pain."

Phyllis Berger brings hope to those who suffer chronic pain. I wish I had read this book before having four back surgeries. "The Journey to Pain Relief" is written in simple terms making it easy to read and understand. Ms. Berger promotes patient education. I found "The Journey to Pain Relief" to be very informative and helpful. Ms. Berger's credentials and personal experience lends credence to the information found in this book. I highly recommend this book to all that suffer chronic pain.

Reading this book has helped me tremendously with the control of my pain. I have suffered for many years with chronic back and neck pain. This book has enabled me to administer drug free pain control without huge expenditure on mainstream treatments. I recommend this book to all who have tried in vain to find help in pain management.

A totally absorbing tale with the most lovable heroine. Gun blends history with fictional yet full-fledged characters, and creates a wonderful athmosphere.

If you want to lose yourself for a while and enter into the world of adventures, islam culture, romance and fairy tales, this is exactly the book for you. It is one of the most capturing stories that I have ever read and I have just bought a pile to give away for all my book loving friends. I hope that more books will follow by this marvellous writer

Any dedicated person can do the same amount of research and reading to write a book, but only very few can combine that with a big heart in an extremely clever way. This book certainly has everything in correct proportion; especially the humour. I honestly feel embarassed to have been advised this book by a foreign friend.

This is the best book I've read in a long, long while. I picked it up, planning to read a chapter before bed, and instead stayed up until three, polishing it off. Who could resist a wry, spunky Turkish heroine travelling to far-off times and places? Not to mention the colorful cast of supporting characters she meets along the way.... I'm giving copies to all my friends.

If you want a book drags you to your bookshelf over and over again, this is definitely it. I enjoyed every minute of it and amazed by the unbelievable imagination and talent of Guneli Gun.

Well written, easy to read and inspiring. Without getting into deep medical details (there are other fine books for that), it gives you valuable information and suggestions. I got this because my mother has a CII colon cancer (already operated and on chemo) and helped me quickly gain a good insight, so I can better support her (she can't read English, otherwise I would give it to her as a valuable present).

Colorectal cancers develop slowly in the lower portions of the digestive tract. More than 140,000 new cases are diagnosed annual in the United States. Men and Women are equally at risk for the diseases. Positive Options For Colorectal Cancer: Self-Help And Treatment by colorectal cancer survivor Carol Ann Larson accessibly and understandably explains just how to cope with the disease and obtain the best treatments that modern medicine has to offer. Positive Options For Colorectal Cancer addresses the warning signs of the condition; screening tests (including information on virtual colonoscopy); myths and other misinformation about the disease; treatment options (including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation); communicating with doctors and other medical professionals; prevention techniques and alternative methods of healing; as well as finding support and utilizing all available resources. Of special note are the Q&As in which doctors respond to the most common questions of colorectal cancer patients. Very strongly recommended for personal and community library reference collections, Positive Options For Colorectal Cancer should be considered "must" reading for anyone having to deal with this disease.

I have been in the health care field for twenty-five years, and I have never read a more readable book about one of the most important health issues of the day, colorectal cancer, and the vital importance of the early detection of it. This is a must-have for anyone in the field, containing actual case histories of countless people.

Robin Ray Robbins

Carol Larson's book is an excellent guidebook for a patient facing colorectal cancer. Instead of feeling helpless and awash in a sea of uncertainty when dealing with colorectal cancer, the book clearly guides the patient to identify the positive options available.

The format of the book is excellent. Each chapter ends with a summary of the chapter and provides techniques, direction and information about the topic of the chapter. It is flush with many human interest stories. The many colorectal patients who contribute to the various chapters in the book provide encouragment with their advice and reflections while helping the patient to cope. Their personal reflections are reassuring.

The book provides a clear description written with sensitivity to each of the factors of colorectal cancer: testing options, understanding the diagnosis, considering decisions about medical treatment, and other challenges. This book is clearly a guidebook for an uncharted journey. Yet, it is written in such a way to empower the patient. I recommend this book for anyone who has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and their loved ones. It's a helpful tool.

Carol Larson's book, "Positive Options for Colorectal Cancer" has a unique blend of education as well as human interest stories. She has truly captured the emotion as people are dealing with the scary news of a cancer diagnosis, yet shows the positive ways they turned to cope with their diseases. This book should be a must read for all those in the medical field as well as families of loved ones in the struggle.It's easy to read and simple to understand.The illustrations help too.

This book is very informative for the newly diagnosed RSD patient. It has numerous treatments and therapies that can be helpful to relieve pain and swelling.

I am a RSD sufferer. I found this book to be extremely helpful. It is a easy read. In fact my Dad also picked it up and read it also. I think it was written exceptionally well. What else can I say???? But BRAVO!! and Thank you for writing this book.

ELENA'S BOOK IS A TRUE GUIDANCE THRU THE UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY WE ALL FACE WITH RSD!!! WHAT AN ACCURATE TESTIMONIAL TO WHAT HAVING RSD CAN AND WILL DO TO OUR LIVES. SHE EXPLAINS HOW WE CAN ADAPT DURING THE COURSE OF THIS ILLNESS WITH A COMBINATION OF TREATMENTS! PROVIDED WE BECOME OUR OWN ADVOCATES EARLY ON AND PERSIST AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE WITH ENDLESS DEDICATION TO HEALING AND WELLNESS.................................AWARENESS LEADS YOU TO ADVOCATE TOWARDS HEALING
A MUST READ FOR EVERONE!!!!
WISHING YOU WELLNESS,

I was diagnosed with have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy almost 10 years ago, when there wasn't much information anywhere about this condition. This book has up to date information and is a great reference tool for those with RSD and their families.

What a wonderful book! I felt so great after reading this book- there is hope and it is in this book! I am not alone and not only that- I can get better! Please read with an open mind- relax- and stop stressing- we can beat this thing!

I love this book. I read it to my daughter and now I share it with my students. As a teacher, I have used it as a great introduction to verbs. The illustrations are fabulous too. Anne Hunter does a great job making you feel safe and cozy among the grasses with your best pals. Last year I read it right before the harvest moon came out. As I sat in traffic on my way home from school, I looked out at the big, beautiful harvest moon. It was a great reminder that the best things in life are free.

we read this to our children's circle at Mabon. it was a big hit

Possom is trying to gather guests for a pre-hibernation party! This is a story my 3 year old kept checking out of the library again and again. Finally, its time to add it to our personal library! We both loved the story and the illustrations are very good. Besides, who wouldn't want to party with a possum under a Harvest Moon?

I used this book in my classroom when I was doing a unit on autumn/harvest. I liked this book because it added a new view of harvest. Usually harvest stories focus around farm life - but this book takes a different twist as the wild animals notice the harvest moon. This book helped my students realize that all creatures notice the coming of autumn. A good read!

Just a brief note. I recently bought several copies of Possum's Harvest Moon as gifts for some young relatives. It's turned out to be one of those books that they just can't put down! It's a constant request either at bedtime or during a quite time. The book is especially good because it gives character to some of night's creatures and also leaves room for the kids imagination!

We revamped our entire sales process and compensation package. This book was an excellent resource for us and helped us go from point A to point B relatively easily

Here is a great book for sales managers. Gets to the point, easy to read and offers great value for money. Don't bypass this for books heavy on theory and lacking practical ideas to increase your sales

In "Sales Management Power Strategies", the author makes it clear that increasing sales revenue is the responsibility of several departments working together. As you read this book you will get many ideas that you can easily implement to help your sales department succeed. Paul takes you step-by-step from hiring the right person, setting quotas and accurately forecasting results, to getting the entire company focused on revenue.

As CFO of a high tech company, I especially appreciated the practical advice, as well as the worksheets for getting top revenue performance from the company. We have already started implementing some of the ideas in this book and know we will be seeing great results.

If you're looking for a business book to add to your sales library, this should be the next book you read.

It has been said that if something is unmanaged it is uncontrolled. If sales management was truly honest, "shoot from the hip" would best describe their current sales processes. In his book, Mr. DiModica transforms time tested revenue strategies into action steps. The title says it all "building a replicable and scalable sales process." This is a great resource for any organization that is unsatisfied with their sales performance.

If you are looking to manage your sales team more effectively, then get this book. The author gives very specific details on how to manage your salespeople by metrics, develop a sales scorecard, calculate sales quotas and targets accurately, and hire the right sales staff for your company. Lots of books out there are full of fluff and generalizations, but this particular book gives techniques and strategies that work in the real world and will help increase your team's peak performance. I recommend this book to anyone seeking to build or improve their sales team.

Anyone interested in paranormal romance will enjoy, but the subplot that runs behind the stories of the individual dark hunters, the story of Ash, really grabs the reader, makes them wonder and need to read on!!!
Pleasing amounts of violence/romance and otherworldly mystique!

Love those Dark Hunters! She (Kenyan) is one of the best paranormal romance writers ever... right up there with Christine Feehan!

This was my first taste of Sherrilyn Kenyon and her Dark-Hunter series and now I am waiting with baited breath for my next shipment to get here so I can continue reading her series. I have been an avid Laurell K Hamilton reader and after reading all the current books in both of her series was left desperate and depressed with nothing to read.... THEN I found the Dark-Hunter series!!! I love how each book is devoted to a Dark-Hunter. Getting to know each of them "intimately" and then seeing them make little guest appearances in the next book makes for an awesome read. These are the kind of books you find hard to put down once you start reading. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves the paranormal, adventure, romance-erotica genre. A+, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up!

This set was my introduction to the Dark-Hunter series and I have to say that I am hooked. The story-lines and the character development were far superior to what I was expecting. And heck, they are a fun read.

A fantastic fictional series. This boxed set inspired me to order several other books from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Thanks to my Amazon prompt I remembered to place this review. If you have followed previous reviews you know my focus on Shane, Maloney and Cobb. Because of my primary occuption I fell badly behind in my reading schedule. I was able to close this gap with my commute to work, a 12+ hour flight. I was able to get set and read cover to cover. In this addition to the series, Jack has set focus to the spirit of the modern age warrior of special operations. The setting against the South American jungle of polictical movements, crisis, and deception is timely and accurate. Action flows well, properly paced and sequenced. Most of us read this for the flying action and combat scenes. This installment does not disappoint. It does not drag. The best part of this book and the series is the depiction of the price of honor. Above all else honor, no matter the price. This is well played over the team and the command elements. In keeping with this author it will be a stand alone book, it allows you to read this and go to first and not be disappointed. In fact my guess is that a new reader to the series might enjoy it a little more in that sequence. Very happy to see next book is out soon. As a retired military aviator and working contractor I fully recommend this book and series. Hopefully I will stay ahead on the schedule this time.

Once again Jack Shane comes out with another great adventure.
Helicopters every where guns blazing X-Battalion doing what
they do best. Sky Hunters - Operation Southern Cross is a big hit it just keeps you on the edge of your seat. You don't know
what will happen next to the X-Bat gang.
Don't forget Jack's 1st book Sky Hunters - X-Battalion. If
you like Operation Southern Cross you will love X-Battalion.

Jack Shane's Sky Hunters novel is terrific. After reading this, it makes me want to pick-up the other book in the series. Fast-paced, full of interesting characters, both good and bad, Operation Southern Cross was a explosive adventure read.

Just like the first book of the XBattalion series, "OSC" moves like a race car jammed into fifth gear. The top-secret XBat copter force is ordered to put out several political brush fires in South America, only to discover that one of them might involve nothing less than the fate of the world. All the while, the CIA's multi-billion dollar, ultra-sophisticated spy satellite system is failing, and no one knows why. The two plot lines collide in one of the most unlikliest places on Earth, causing the book's heroes to make an incredibly harrowing last-minute flight to save all. The action scenes are very realistic; the flying sequences are not for the faint of heart. The balancing act that many special forces members must endure between their personal lives and service to their country is also well brought out. According to a web site given on the book's cover -- www.XBattalion.com -- apparently no one really knows who the author Jack Shane is. But obviously, he knows his stuff. I'm looking forward to Book 3.

THE BOOK STARTED OUT BY GETTING ALL THE STORY LINE PIECES TOGETHER, THEN THE BOOK TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW QUICK I MOVED THRU THE BOOK. THE STORY WAS SET IN SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY, THAT WAS GOING TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES. THE XBATT HAD TO GO IN AND SAVE THE DAY BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE AREA. THEY STOPPED THE BAD GUYS BUT IT DID HAVE A COST TO ONE OF THE MEMBERS. WILL THERE BE ANOTHER BOOK ?? I HOPE SO!!
