This story is more then a legend. Tul-tok-a-na Tu-tok-a-nu-la or Tutokanula was a real person. He was an early chief of the Yosemite Indian people. He was a Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiute whose descendents are living today. Lancisco Wilson and others were his descendents. He signed the 1890 petition with other Paiutes and Indians to Congress for redress the taking of Yosemite by the government without payment. So people are reading a story about a real Paiute person. The story might have been embellished but he was still a leader of the Ahwahneechee or Ahwahnee people. One of the chiefs of the Yosemite Indians and a Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiute.

Type A Behavior: Its Diagnosis and Treatment (Prevention in Practice Library)
Have known for awhile that I was a "Type A" but did not know why I had interpersonal challenges. Book helped me with ways to know what my triggers were and how to have a self-monitor help change my reactions to the triggers. Much more work to do but this is the first book that not only explains why but provides working solutions.

After teaching in elementary classrooms for over 15 years, I thought I had seen and read it all when it comes to games. And to be quite honest, I was typically pretty disapointed........until a friend showed me this one. All the games have simple rules, require minimal materials (all of which can be easily found around even the most minimally equiped house) and are downright fun for all ages! These games address all the common buzz-words we teachers look for, such as developmentally appropriate, mulit-aged and sensory stimulation and integration. And Gunter hasn't forgotten about all the common buzz-words kids look for like laughing, giggling, silly and fun, fun, fun. Buy this book and you will be the best parent/teacher/scout leader/care provider/group facilitator on the block!

This is simply the best book I have ever purchased for my family! We have enjoyed these games so much we bought extra copies and are giving them as gifts to friends and family!
Money may not be able to buy happiness but the few dollars you spend on this could really bring your family closer together (my kids love choosing a different game every night). We really look forward to a few minutes of family game time on a regular basis.
I've also used it for birthday parties, dance classes and other activities. This one is a keeper!

So, where do you want to spend the next four years of YOUR life? This book is both inspirational and motivational, as it will inspire its readers to become a "Terp" for a moment, minute, or even an hour, and motivate those who are seriously considering one of the best schools in the United States to actually visit University of Maryland's College Park campus. This is clearly one of the best resources out there available to those students who have had even the slightest thought of attending UM. Have you ever asked yourself, "Would I consider going to Maryland?" If so, get your hands on a copy of this book. It will immediately influence your decision and make you either begin to fall in love with the campus, introduce you to a pretty cool school that you may or may not consider in the future, or allow you to quickly consider your other options.

Additionally, it's also an excellent "down-to-earth" guide for supportive families, counselors, mentors, and friends who care about the students in their lives. Wouldn't any loving person who is concerned about a student's well being want to know what this delightful University is all about and share that information with the student? Get this: the guide is an even better resource for those that actually decide to attend UMCP in the future as well as every single student currently enrolled. (This includes those resourceful and trained Resident Assistants! Yes, the book is that good, and a great complementary guide to the R.A. Manual.) Last but not least, this book also makes a thoughtful gift to anyone affiliated with the University, its campus, and the College Park area.

Please Note: while the book is well written, witty, and quite an enjoyable read, it is the most entertaining College Prowler guide in the series. It's a funny, informational book that will play a role in affecting the rest of one's life and pays for itself given the amount of time, effort, and resources it saves by being a truly informational, lifelong companion. As long as it's with the reader, it will never go to waste - even after graduation.

I read this book as someone raised Christian who now is inspired by most of the world's religions. I'm one of those people who hasn't met a religion they didn't like!

Christianity still holds a special place in my heart. Just like I've discovered sushi & Thai food since leaving home, doesn't mean I still don't like mom's home cooking! And that's what Jesus is for me: plain, good & wonderful comfort food.

This book gives us plenty to chew on and think about, both within a "Jesus only" tradition and without. And it does so without a lot of religious tradition or scholarly jargon getting in the way. If you're poly-religious like myself, you'll contemplate each saying and how it relates to sayings by other sages and masters. And if you're mono-religious, you'll find a lot of inspiring sayings by Jesus that just might cause you to look deeper into your own faith tradition, whether Christian or not.

The main thing to remember when looking at books like these is that Jesus was a revolutionary, aramaic-speaking Jewish peasant (probably illiterate) and for that reason was put to death by the Romans. What he actually said was then written down by many people over the following centuries. Approximately 300 years later the 4 gospels were canonized and some of his words were put in Greek in the allegorical context of the Jewish Messiah. Needless to say a lot of other stuff attributed to him was outside that Christian tradition that developed at the time. Of course, looking back, it's hard to see the Jesus for the Christ!

Nonetheless, his words alone are very inspiring -- and challenging and critical -- and worth reading whether within the Christian tradition or without.

i'm just as equally impressed about this book if not more than my husband. I thought it may help him out a bit in the field in which he chose as his career. especially when he's never been an avid reader, to my surprise he couldn't put the book down. he felt as though he was getting "hands on training". It's actually put him ahead of the gang. such helpful info paid off. He was given a raise due to the knowledge he had read in your book, that i got him for a birthday gift. this book turned out to be the "book of knowledge". thanks again!

While the title is the sort of pun that Meyer would have savored, it will do doubt keep away the very film snobs who need a book like this. A better title? THE RUSS MEYER READER. The editor collects a series of reviews, essays, and interviews covering all of Meyer's films and career. Some pieces are glowing, some are critical, and the result is a richly textured -- and sometimes off-putting -- portrait of the maverick filmmaker. There still is a better book on Meyer out there, waiting to be written, but this will always be an essential companion to any Meyer fan.
