Miller Books

I purchased this book for my brother-in-law and he loves 'cause it's so easy to use.

We've been working on a lot of material on voice and accent for Indian Call Centers dealing with the American market.

This appears to be the best book I have come across.

It is very detailed and easy to understand and beats the current book and CD offerings like American Accent training.

A definite must buy if you are into accent reduction for individuals or training.

This is a really good book, but be careful. Don't buy the $33 version of this book (ISBN 0-395-90331-9). It ONLY includes the Book. Buy the $42 version of this book (ISBN 0-395-94540-2). That is the Package Edition, and includes both the Book and the Audiocassettes.

I am a workplace English instructor and find Targeting Pronunciation and the audiocassette package of to be very useful in business settings as well as the classroom as a tool for teaching more effective presentation skills.
It has a fun and clear approach to covering all the essential pronunciation features such as word stress, rhythm patterns, and thought groups, as well as consonant and vowel sounds.

Students enjoy using this book and tapes because of the engaging and varied activities. Whether you are experienced or inexperienced at teaching pronunciation, Targeting Pronunciation a great book to teach from. I recommend the book and audiocassette package: ISBN 0-395-94540-2. It's the best deal and each student has a set of tapes for home practice.

If you are looking to cook amazing Thai food and wish to impress your family and friends.... You MUST buy this book. The steps are easy to follow with some illustrations. Plenty of colored pictures. Definately worth buying!!!

I have had this book for ages. I even brought it with me 6 years ago when I moved to Thailand. Actually, I bought it after eating at the restaurant in Manly, Sydney. It's a great book to get a feel for what it is to "cook Thai". After you've got that feeling, you can use it as a springboard for creative Thai cooking. After you've served your dishes to your friends, they'll say two words..."aroy maak!" (very delicious!) Just buy it!

This is the best Thai cookery book I have ever come across. Colorful photos and easy to follow recipes. Having tried several of the recipes, I found them very authentic. Never, never, will I ever loan a cookery book to anybody on Earth! Especially THAI COOKING CLASS!! Please, I want my book back.

Wonderful and wide assortment of easy recipes with color photos of the steps involved and the final, delicious product. Hard to beat this cookbook/primer on Thai cooking. A must have if you want to venture into this great Asian food style.

It's the best Thai cookbook I have ever come across. The dishes come out like in a restaurant and the instructions are easy to understand and follow. What more could u ask for?!

When I read this book after going through the series I could hardly put the book down! The way Todd and Christy gets together is WONDERFUL!

My mother bought me this book awhile ago. It was the first one I read of the series. As soon as I found out there WAS a series, I went to my church library. I think this book was the best of the series. I finally read the books in order. It was so awesome that Todd finally defined things. It was, and still is, an awesome read!!!!

This is the VERY best book in the whole series and trust me,all the books are very good!Todd makes a deep commitment in theirrelationship, and it is really sweet.Katies life gets really messed up when she gets a boyfriend who is a non-christian.And Doug seems Jellous that Christy and Todd are a couple.Very must-read!

When this book starts, Christy is ready for the relationship again. One look at the "screaming blue eyes", and so is everyone else.

I personally am just a big giant romance nut. This book was totally satisfying. When Todd finally took the initiative there were shouts of joy as I was reading this to my friends. This was another really great book by Robin Jones Gunn

THIS WAS THE BEST BOOK IN THE SEREIES. MY FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK IS WHEN THEY ARE ALL ON THE BOAT AND KATIE GETS A BLACK EYE.I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD THEIR WERE TEARS IN MY EYES.THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME A LOT AND IT HAS MADE ME WHANT TO FIND A GUY LIKE TODD AND DOUG.THIS BOOK WAS GREAT I HIGHLY RECOMEND YOU READ THIS BOOK. YOU WILL LAUGH AND CRY. THE BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!!!

This is a wonderful gift book. I have already given it to several friends who share my pleasure. Alice Miller, who is a psychotherapist, combines spirituality and love of the earth with humor and wisdom.

I have beeb a professional landscape and garden designer for over 30 years. And this author really gets it. It's difficult to mesh inspiration with good garden design. To be able to mix whimsy, classic beauty, and good garden design is not something many people can do. Her humour and wisdom come through on every page. She really understands the dynamic process of creation when it comes to establishing a sustainable garden. Her wit kept me intertained and felt like I grew through the read. I highly recommend this book

This book really tugs at the heartstrings. Dr. Miller has a unique writing style, combining poignant observations with a quirky but delightful sense of humor. I will be gifting several friends with their own copies - this is a book to enjoy more than once.

Dr. Miller depicts the process of personal and spiritual growth through her life experiences and vividly relates them to the birth and development of her woodland garden. She shares pivotal moments in her life with poignancy and humor and in a manner that transcends age or gender. She reminds us that as humans we all are finding our way along life's garden path. Yet, Dr. Miller succeeds in balancing the garden imagery by weaving into her narrative a broad, intellectual selection of quotations and excerpts from both English literature and many different religious texts. In so doing, Dr. Miller manages to avoid denominational bias and truly focuses on an inspiring view of how to navigate life's travails while maintaining an infectious optiminism and open-heartedness.

The author is right when she says you won't necessarily learn the ins and outs of gardening; however, her use of the garden as an approach to the seasons of life is marvelous. The candor and humor make the book an easy read. The content allows us to take a spiritual journey of celebrating our lives, a journey well worth taking. The poetry and writings used within the book are additional garden paths to travel and encourage the reader to delve into the works cited, especially the Bible.

Este libro es un éxito con gente de todas las edades. Esta Navidad le incluí uno a cada uno de mis sobrinos con sus otros regalos. El más pequeño apenas empieza a leer y el mayor tiene 14 años. Todos lo adoraron. Uno de ellos tiene problemas de apredizaje y su terapista del habla lo incorporó al tratamiento. Las ilustraciones son graciocísimas y el texto simple pero lleno de humor. Hace ver la defecación como una actividad más y a los humanos los sitúa correctamente en el reino animal.

I teach Spanish using TPRS, and every so often we have "Kindergarten day. I LOVE using "Todos hacemos caca" for the first of these fun days for Spanish 1. It's very understandable and the kids LOVE it!

i love this book and all of taro gomi's books! he is truly an artist. But what's best is that my 5 month old baby loves them too! hopefully he'll grow up to draw like the master. strange thing about caca book, there is no woman making caca... typically japanese....

Es un libro excelente. De lenguaje sencillo, para los niños que están comenzando a leer. Muy gracioso y divertido.

Es un libra de caca! Tango la libra en ingles. Es muy interesante y intelente.

My Spanish is a little Rusty, sorry. I am definately going to buy this book. It explains bodily functions and is funny too. I also really like Spanish books because it helps my Spanish stay fresh. The English translations is "Everyone Poops". Caca is a much better word for it if you ask me. I am also going to buy this book for my Sister-in-law. She loves caca.

I enjoyed this novel very much. I am looking forward for the next book

I loved this book...can't wait for the third and final book to come out. Sad that it'll be almost a year before I get to read it.

I was promised a new book and I got a new book and received it fast. I trust this company based on my current experiences.

"An Unexpected Love" is the 2nd book in the Broadmoor Legacy series by Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller. And I found this sequel to be somewhat more enjoyable then the first book--"A Daughter's Inheritance". I read the book in 2 days. But most of that had to do with the fact that I didn't have power for 3 days and had nothing better to do with my time. :)

Cousins Sophie, Fanny, and Amanada Broadmoor are sent to England by Amanda's father Jonas Broadmoor. He was hoping to marry Fanny off while they were in England so he could gain control of her money. However while in England, Sophie meets and falls heads over heels in love with Wesley Hedrick--a wealthy widow. Wesley promises the world and what not to Sophie but she soons discovers his promises to be nothing but empty and finds herself in a very compromising situation. Enter Paul Medford, the man who works with her father at the Home for the Friendless. He offers Sophie an arrangement that could benefit them both. He obviously has genuine feelings for her but can Sophie learn to love again after suffering such heartbreak and sorrow?

I really enjoyed Sophie's side of the Broadmoor story. We see a dramatic change in her character from the first book to this book's end. And what a heartfelt change it is. I also enjoyed reading tidbits about Fanny and her situation with Michael. I was hoping he would return in this book but I suppose it shall happen in the next. We also get to know Amanda a bit more and someone new enters her life. I also really liked how the book didn't dwell much on Uncle Jonas trying to scheme his way into controlling Fanny's money. Yes the beginning had its share with Daniel Irwin, the boy Jonas sent to England with the Broadmoor girls. However it was nice to see that once Fanny turned 18 it died down a little. And getting to know more about Paul Medford's character was enjoyable. He was portrayed as an annoying busy-body person in the first book but in this book we see he truly loves Sophie and is a man of compassion and kindness.

Overall I really enjoyed the book and was glad to see the 2nd book improve upon the first. I really look forward to the 3rd book. I'm hoping along with Amanda's story, we learn more about Sophie and Paul's married life and see Fanny and Michael get their happily ever after. Too bad the 3rd book's not out till summer 2009.

This book was wonderful.

As I was hopeful would be the case, this series is continued with the story of Sophie Broadmoor. The spunkiest of the cousins, she is constantly rebelling against her family and social norms. Since her mother's passing (a year earlier) and a father buried in grief, she has gotten worse and is able to get away with it.

This story follows the girls as they travel abroad to England. Here, Sophie falls in love with the older, sophisticated Wesley Hedrick. He travels back to America with them and things blossom.

That is really only a portion of the story. In this book we also continue catching tidbits of Fanny's tale (who is still waiting for Michael and thwarting advances created by her uncles scheming). We get to know Amanda a little better (prepare for her story in the next installment!) and really get to know Paul, the man who Sophie clashed with in the previous book.

There is much going on in this book-- alot of stories to follow. It is not an adventure but a saga all its own. Characters are WONDERFUL!!! Realistic, relatable and well developed. I truly enjoyed this book. I am eager to read the next book!!

The problem with most self help books is that they can't make you study and apply them. If you were studying say geology, chemistry or sociology, you know that if all you did was just read the text book from cover to cover, you would have little hope of passing any exam. Yet that is what most people do when they want to help themselves.

The "Unfair Advantage" doesn't let you get away with this. You don't read this book, you do it. Have your pen or pencil ready, as you will be filling in a lot of spaces doing the exercises. The diagrams and exercises will unambiguously show you how and where you are doing yourself in. And how to rectify it. And some of those exercises are just plain cunning.

The book is based on the ideas of Albert Ellis's Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (i.e. it's not one of those business hype books, or some New Age spiritual awakening type book - it is legitimate psychology). It tackles problems of depression, anger, rage, inadequacy, embarrassment, anxiety, shyness, inferiority and hurt.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the title - the only "Advantage" is to yourself, and I can't see anything "Unfair" about it. The author states what the working title for the book was, "You're not a sh#t, and I can prove it". This equates with Ellis's ideas e.g. that shyness is a high class term for sh#thood.

I think the working title more accurately reflects the book's content. Perhaps it's time for a new edition, changing only the title of this amazingly well thought out book.

Unfortunately [I say because it isn't perfect but almost is] I say this book is the best book for becoming saner. It is more straight forward and easier to understand than Guide to Rational Living by Ellis and Harper. Of course the author uses toilet language and sort of a 'I can take it if that's what it really is, watch me kick its butt' [paraphrase]. But the LOGIC is there.
What I would like Mr Miller to do is right something similar to How to Live with a Neurotic, since I am an abused spouse.

Such a good book based on REBT.
It puts the main irrational thoughts into easy to remember (and creative) statements. It's just an excellent explanation which helps reinforce REBT principles. One of my top 3 favorite REBT books.

Now understand why MOST self-help books DO NOT work. You read, you feel better -- but, do nothing to change your behavior. Tom unlocks the key to true behavior change. What has been holding you back? Why do you feel guilty, mad, sad? Tired of being manipulated? Tom will open the door to true power of your behavior and why you do what you do -- although you know it may not be the best. Thought provoking, irritating, maddening and incredible describe this book. Order it today.

The only way I have been able to get extra copies of this book for friends is by using the Albert Ellis Institue catalog. They sell it on the web, why don't they sell it through amazon dot com????

I used this book for my two Business Law classes. It is understandable, the cases quite interesting. I highly recommend the study guide.

You can stop looking for books on business law. This book it the definitive guide to business law. West's is synonymous with business law, and this text proves why.

Just a tremendous wealth of solid info. I only wish I had the most updated version, and not one a few years old. (I bought a used copy on Amazon to save some money.)

I recently purchased this book since it was directly related to my job (Purchasing). My friend went to a college that used this same book and it had looked interesting.

After I bought it from Amazon (lowest price, believe me), I was very satisfied. The author explains all topics in a clear manner and provides interesting case examples. This is one book that I will use as reference over and over. I can't imagine myself without it now. I also can't imagine a better business law book.

My wife and I purchased West's Business Law, 7th ed. through the University of the Pacific bookstore and were generally pleased with it. We have referred to it on numerous occasions to understand legal concepts at school, as well as in our private lives. However...The copy we received was defective. It was missing everything between appendix page 212 and glossary page G-11. I have e-mailed the publisher, but received no response. I will probably order ANOTHER copy of the book (this time through amazon.com) and hope that this copy isn't defective. Because of the difficulty in getting a response from the publisher, I recommend ordering through a reputable retailer like amazon.com (which focuses on customer service as a priority).

I used this book for two law classes. It is understandable, well written, and has intersting cases. I strongly recommend the additional study guide.

This true story shows how the human spirit can overcome terrible adversity, and it is a story which should not be missed by anyone. Sandra has overcome tragedy and has transcended into an angel of inspiration for all of us.

When Mountains Move is a book you can't lay down. It tells how God can use you if you will allow him to no matter what faces you. It shows He is so faithful to His children.
This book is hard to lay down once you get started and I'm not a reader.
It was very uplifting to your spirit. I was very blessed to have bought this book.

This book is a real motivator for everyone and especially for people that may have disabilities or think life is "just too hard". This true story shows you what difficulties you can overcome with God's help and with a real desire to live. It also shows how physical endurance and the love of your family and God can help you make the most of a very difficult situation. This book holds your attention from the first chapter to the last. Sandra is a real trooper and disciple for Christ.

The author does a great job with this book. You don't want to put it down. What a wonderful testamony to God, faith, hope, and love. Once you read this, you will want to share it with others.

Sandra is a creative writer, in her account of her life she has you laughing one minute and crying in sympathy and empathy the next.

I find myself referring to this book frequently. I'm considered a gourmet chef by friends and family but I find I can always learn something new from looking things up in The Kitchen Companion. A kitchen library isn't complete without this book.

I bought this book as a gift, and had to order another. I just couldn't put it down. It has a nice cover with tabs to keep your place and wipes clean easy. Ordered from A to Z is everything to do with cooking including tips and some history. Label terms, food, herbs, pans, preserving, and kitchen appliances - it is really amazing. Everybody on my Christmas list is getting one this year.

Real useable info that all cooks need to know, not recipes but useable knowledge in easy to find order. A must for beginners! A good companion for another great fun book " Secrets to a Successful Greenhouse and Business".

I've used this book for everything from translating terms in european cookbooks to substituting ingredients in a pinch. This book answers those questions and more. It is set up to be a resource and an entertaining read with details and history. On more than one occasion I have looked up a simple "how to" and also found out WHY I needed to do that "how to". I don't often pick up a cookbook to read, this is a book to curl up with and to cook with.

This is not only for new cooks,but indispensable for experienced culinary masters as well! I bought this book full price at a book store and it was worth the 25.00-grab one at this price! It isn't just another boring index of the basics, but give information on how to store food, how long ingredients can be frozen for, how to clean items, equipment guidlines, etc etc. I watch TV Cooking shows, subsribe to several cooking magazines and consider myself pretty knowledgeful in the kitchen but still reach for this book a couple times a week. Easy to find what you are looking for w/alphabetical index set up. I wouldn't have expected anything less from williams Sonoma. Great book-my bible.
