Mitchell Books

Stickman presents a creative way to teaching with an Urban twist. The author has presented a fun way for your children to explore his/her creative side, while following Stickman on his journey to finding his. The characters are colorful and fun, and the activities are intersting. A lesson is hidden within each activity. What a fun way to learn. I look forward to this author's next book. As do my children!
Great fun!

This activity book isn't your everyday kids coloring and activity book. The images and graphics are amazing. Every home should have one whether you have children or not. We all know at least one child that could use a great book that will stretch them! The author's work is remarkable...

Coach Q

The author of this activity book, Mr. Mitchell, is really in touch with todays youth. This book is refreshingly hip without all the commercialism that we see today. The book engages children on their terms and has interesting and memorable characters. My 9 year old really loved it. I would highly recommend this activity book for both young boys and girls. Hopefully Mr. Mitchell will continue his creative endeavors and delight us with another book!

This is the best book I brought on Amazon.com and appreciate reading and enjoying the creative, artistic, and great wirting work this author showed. I will stand behind whatever creative and artistic work Mr. Fred Mitchell will persue in the near future and so on. Looking forward to Stickman Extravaganza!!!

This is an excellent activities book. The kids will enjoy it, especially during car trips.

When Rachel is locked in the museum, the mummies come to life and are planning Rachel and her friends to be mummies like them!

Rachel and her friends are locked in a museum where exhibits are said to come to life!

Trouble starts when Rachel and her friends are locked inside the museum and they see are full of mummies that lives during night.

I like this story a lot. It is spooky. Whenever I read it I can visualise what is happening. This story has some great events and is one of the best Are You Afraid Of The Dark series books out! You should read it sometime.

I love all Egyptian books like THE TALE OF THE EGYPTIAN MUMMIES. I will also order other books like Bailey School kids, Goosebumps, Baby Sitters Club...

It has great narratives about each recipe, amazing fotos of the area and the food plus the recipes inspire you to creat masterpieces of your own.

I don't usually cook, but I just had to try these recipies. Plus, great pictures and the absolute best anecdotes about Villa d'Este. i went there for my honeymoon and I swear this book just made me want to go there again! Who on earth could resist it...or this fabulous book?

... and women too of course. This charming blend of recipes and witty tales about personalities from the timeless Villa D'Este Hotel lifts risotto to a new high of appreciation. Who would have thought a book about such tiny grains would be an entertaining read? And it beckons you to the kitchen. I admit to enjoying risottos prepared by expert chefs over the years, but never attempting the dish myself. Now I feel confident and keen to give it a go. There are risottos for every season. Of course now that I know so much more, the Arborio rice will no longer do - I must look for the special regional Italian Carnaroli rice if I really wish to impress. The white truffle might prove a bit problematic, but there are plenty of other options.

Travelers and foodies will love this one,recipes for about 50 different kinds of risotto from the famed chef of the Villa d'Este Hotel in Lake Como, Italy. The place is romantic and
even the recipes sound romantic. That sounds impossible, but
it is very true. I recommend this book as a nice holiday
gift this year..

A beautiful book from the shores of Lake Como. Even if you are not a cook, you'll love this book. The stories and photos of this gorgeous Lake in Italy can't be beat. If you are a cook, this is the best.....a must have book!!

Oh Sara! What an incredible book! Thank you again. I could not put it down, and had those "god bumps" from beginning to end. You have an inspiring, beautiful gift. Can not wait to read your next creation. I am going to order 5 copies for gifts, and have told a few groups I belong to about your book, and gave them the link to see for themselves. Love Light and Laughter . . .

Got your book when I got home tonight and I've already read half of it! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your wonderful book. God has given you a very wonderful and special gift. I have not been able to put your book down, I am going to buy six copies to give to special people who will tell others.

Sara's channeled discourses from John Lennon, Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Janis Joplin, and George Harrison resonate as being genuine. Much of the information is of a high vibration that can comfort and inspire all of us to be present with love and compassion on this magnificent planet. Thank you Sara for your extraordinary gift!

This is a book you may find hard to put down until you reach the last page. But you won't be done with the book once you finish reading it. This thought-provoking book will stay with you, as your mind works to incorporate what you have read into your sense of reality. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this book is worth your time and will give you a lot to think about.
Each personality is definitely unique from the others. Each message displays qualities in the ideas expressed, and in the manner of expressing those ideas, that ring true to that individual. If you are thinking about buying this book, do it. It is well-written, an "easy" read. The messages are simple--yet it is the simple truth that often seems to trip us--an eternal path to find the simple truth.

After 28 years in one single trade I think it legitimate to say that I am experienced. It is also right to be convinced that it would be the reason enough for success.

After studying the “The 2000 Percent Solution Workbook” I can say it does not suffice to be experienced and hard working to attain success. I needed a modern and methodic approach to get 20 times more out of my business. I am thrilled at the change in my approach to daily business problems after reading this book. For my personal situation I call it my stealth weapon.

I have read a few books on methods of constant improvements for sustainable solutions. I had read The 2000 Percent Solution before the work book, too. I thought that book contained very down-to-earth, honest advice on how to improve things in my business.

The workbook brings about the final cut to the diamond. If I had read it without a proper coaching, I would have missed out a disciplined application of the ideas of the authors and probably considered it as any other book. Coaching was like navigating with a compass in the ocean; imagine going sailing without it.

The size of the business was not important -- it was the approach that made the difference. But the workbook has given me very straight forward eight steps to go through and see how things improve while going through them. It particularly inculcates a new habit of asking different questions to get better solutions to problems which probably every one of us faces in business life. I have taken the course described in the workbook and found it very effective.

I confess that I approach most books with a healthy scepticism and ask myself, “What is the new mantra that this book will teach me now?” Subsequently I do begin with a tendency to look down on it with a slight rejection. As soon as I finished the first two chapters and applied the logic of this book in my business experience, I lost all scepticism and could see what is it that holds back the real success despite all the hard work.

There are very concrete examples in this book which I have applied to my business and achieved 20 times the result such as the example of a chip maker who outsourced the designing work and gained exponential advantage, because the chip designers were specialists. I have applied this method to quality control in my business. I have outsourced work to specialists and the results are very impressive. The economic advantage of this change was amazing; the outcome was that first it brought down the rejection rate to unbelievably low level. This saved my company the money that it would have lost on bad quality and the customer was delighted. The second advantage was that I did not have to worry about my own personnel getting complacent with the manufacturers or doing innocent favors of accepting small errors as a gesture of creating good personal relationships. I did not think of these methods before and have learned them from this book. I also found another question most impressive in the book. If my answer to my customer is the best answer that I can not afford to give to my customer . . . then I have to look for a better one.

I never thought of this before.

Professor Donald Mitchell and Carol Coles have done a superb job of describing stalls and how to overcome these stalls - be it organizational or personal.
The 2,000 percent solutions are available for just about any activity.The solutions improve efficiecy and effectiveness of an organization.The 2,000% solution workbook can be applied to reduce costs or increase profits by more than 20 times the current annual rate. Actually, the 2,000% solution workbook is a business mannual. I have applied the mannual on how to
help young people avoid contracting AIDS
through improving understanding of how sexual
practices can affect exposure to infection. The mannual helped make an enormous difference by spreading the word about how to stop AIDS faster than the disease itself is spread among the vulnerable and relatively uninformed young population.

Authors Donald Mitchell and Carol Coles have co-authored a number of interesting books. The 2000 Percent Solution (with Robert Metz), The Irresistible Growth Enterprise and The Ultimate Competitive Advantage.

These books represent new horizons for business models and also getting the most out of organisational change strategies. I particularly enjoyed reading the 2000 Percent Solution and it is the text for my current study course I am undertaking. In order to assist the student/planner two of the authors have completed the 2000 Percent Work Book to supplement the original text.This is a valuable resource tool for those who wish to pursue the original applications of the 2000 Percent Solution further.

The book is extremely well written and easy to follow. It assists the reader to work through the eight-step process to a 2000 Percent Solution. This book was the result of feed back received from a number of prominent business leaders and Professor Peter Drucker, well known management theorist.

The work book assists the reader to first identify stalls and that inhibit thinking and achievement. It contains a number of new 'stalls' that have resulted from suggestions from leading professionals. Recommended reading is also contained at the website: [...]

Chapter One examines what solution models can be applied towards a 2000 Percent Solution, a number of questions are posed, with a brief outline to assist the reader. Chapter Two deals with more of these 'insidious' stalls that block people's ideas and inhibit creativity and advancement within the organisation. After completion of looking at what opportunities there are that help with performance, there is the actual consideration of how long it will take to implement a 2000 Percent Solution.

Chapters Five to Twelve look at the eight-step process; please note, this is designed to help you arrive at your solution, not to find one. The questions posed in each of these eight steps assist the reader to look into all corners of each step, rather than looking straight ahead to the next step. Often, there can be a tendency to steer straight ahead and forget the in-depth detail.

The final two chapters deal concentrate on some very useful advice on getting the message across to those people you need to involve in this procedure for it to be accepted. The 2000 Percent Solution workbook is an invaluable aid to assisting the student and business professional alike.

I have read Don Mitchell's 2000% Workbook and I found it very practical and user friendly. In this book Don becomes your coach along the way to exponential growth. I read it after the 2000% Solution book and it vastly improved my ability to conceptualise ways of improving my dental practice. I fully recommend the book to any enterprising entrepeneur. It will walk you through the process in an exciting way. One of my major frustrations with authors is that they are too theoretical but I find Don Mitchell in this workbook refreshingly practical. I walked out of reading the book straight into applying the concepts. My business has never been the same. Thank you Dr Mitchell for showing us the way.

when will the CD be available? I travel to several schools providing healthcare to uninsured children and would like to use this valuable reference. (a PNP)

love the format. listed alphabetically, the items are presented in a easy to read format. Just about all I want to know about the problem when working in a busy office. I can read more later but this gets the job done. an excellent 90's type of book. where is the CD?

As a pediatric nurse,I really love this book!! Many times, quick reference books are not thorough enough. This one is. I've used it many times as a teaching tool with parents.

The 5-minute pediatric consult is written in an easy to read outline format. The writers have eliminated unnecesary obscure data and offer a concise outline of all major pediatric diseases. The topics are designed to be read in 5 minutes or less and all the up to date information to diagnose and treat a specific illness is included. The topics are alphabetized, so they are easy to look up. The writers are accomplised experts in their fields and the book has been edited by the distinguished Dr. Schwartz, at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. As a professor of Pediatrics, I highly recommend this book to practicing pediatricians, family practitioners, nurses and students.

Our church had the privilage of having Gwen Diaz and her husband speak at a church retreat a while back and after hearing them speak, I had to buy some of their books. So far every one I have picked up has been excellent. The advice offered is top notch and the principles applied are biblically based and realistic. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with children. You will laugh out loud and think that she lived with your child(ren)while writing this excellent book!

I would highly recommend this book to all mothers but especially those with children still at home. It will give you a lift but more than that it will inspire you to really appreciate and cherish the precious gift God has given us with our children. I have laughed, cried, agreed and said "that's my kids she's writting about!" and then at the end of each section I'm always reminded of God's goodness and His work in our lives even in the simple day to day adventures!

What a fun, insightful, thought-provoking book! It inspires me to thoroughly ENJOY my children even in the midst of the most mundane or chaotic day. When I began laughing out loud as I read story after story my children became curious. "MOM, read one of the stories to us." So I did. Story after story. My children love the book too.

Gwendolyn Diaz has written a jem of a book! Each mom who is lucky enough to read it will find herself in hysterics at moments, and in moments of reflection as she thinks of her own kids. This is a very personal book, and one filled with a lot of thought provoking ideas. You feel as if you know each of the people mentioned very well by the end of the stories. The christian views are wonderful and add a really neat perk to the everyday humorous tales that fill its pages.What a neat life she has led,what neat children she has, and most of all, what a wonderful christian heart she has! Once you start reading this book you will have a hard time putting it down!

This book is fun to read. For those who work with animals everyday, it hits home and brings numerous smiles. The kids will hardly believe these stories are true!

In The Animals Of Grandfather Mountain, wildlife biologist and animal habitat manager Laurie Jakobsen showcases a wonderfully illustrated collection of engaging and informative stories about the boisterous bear cubs, inquisitive deer, secretive cougars, playful otters, chattering eagles, and others who live in the Grandfather Mountain wildlife habitats of North Carolina. The Animals Of Grandfather Mountain is wonderful reading for children of all ages and an enthusiastically recommended addition to school and community library wildlife reference collections and reading lists.

This is a wonderful book for the young and the young at heart who are interested in animals and love to laugh and learn.

Reading "The Animals of Grandfather Mountain" was great fun from start to finish. I laughed out loud at some of Jakobsen's stories about day to day life running a wild animal habitat. Everyone, young and old, enjoys watching our furry friends while strolling through zoos. But this book shows you the behind-the-scenes work that makes such experiences possible. But perhaps the biggest treat the books gives readers is insight into the great personalities these animals have. The photographs make the book even more fun. I recommend this book to children and anyone who loves animals, whether they have visited Grandfather Mountain or not.

i ordered the book on September 6th 2003 and recieved the book normal frieght within the next week. I'd definately buy form this seller again. The book was allmost like new, there were a few minor things wrong with it but it was used so nothing you wouldnt expect.

I've been a professional aircraft/automotive mechanic for 17 years. I use this book extensively, it has great review material along with alot of updated information on the latest technology in all areas. I used it to re-certify for my ASE ratings. This book will help novice and experienced techs alot.

This is one of the best automotive teaching books I have seen. It is up to date with the latest technology and the worksheet material gives a great hands on for learning every system in detail.

Great Book.....great explanation....great pictures ...covers every asepect of modern vehicle....

This is a book is quite good as most Norton Critical Editions are. It has a lot of what is needed by students for a course on Blake or, more likely, a course that spends part of a term on Blake.

It has some biographical material and some maps of England and London at the time Blake lived. There are also a good helping of black and white as well as color plates of Blake's illuminated works. The color plates are only good - the color is not produced beautifully. The student will only get an impression of the true power of Blake's artistry. However, a good teacher will point the student to the Blake Archive at:... so the students can see the works more completely with variants and in better color (if you have good video cards and monitors).

One of the best parts of this book begins on page 176 where working drafts are shown and compared to the final versions. There is also a nice selection of critical writing on Blake - criticism from Blake's time through the present. There is also a useful bibliography.

In some ways this is "Erdman Lite", but it is much more portable than Erdman and for an introductory course on Blake it is probably sufficient. I am glad that I have it in my library.

But please don't stop here!

Nice book, but too bad its front picture cover is defaced by Norton's double-layer of big gold stickers with high-tack adhesive that makes them impossible to remove without adhesive remaining on the cover.

This is absolutely the best compendium of Blake's work which articualtes an outstanding range of his vision. This edition acknowledges the poetry and color paintings of a consumate craftsman of the imagination on high quality, acid free paper and is nylon stitched and bound in signatures to last a lifetime. Books are rarely made this way but the Norton edition is a beautiful rendering of the first, and perhaps, primary British Romantic poet.

William Blake is one of those soaring pioneers of the human imagination whose visions and their scope make you feel rather humble at times. His works are quite diverse and his output during his life very considerable. Blake's longer poems, such as 'Jerusalem' or the 'Four Zoas', would easily make large books of their own in any edition of his works.

This Norton's edition contains selections from several of Blake's major works, including his Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, his visionary poems, as well as his political poems. The book also contains many scholarly aids including a chronology of Blake's life, critical essays by leading Blake scholars, and colour pages showing Blake's beautiful illustrations to some of his works (as well as being a great poet Blake was also a painter and engraver of very considerable ability). While critics never seem to really reach any consensus on what Blake's poems really 'mean' (Blake is read variously as a Gnostic by Harold Bloom, a revolutionary critic of England during the industrial revolution by Terry Eagleton, or as a disciple of Swedenborg and Boehme by others) Blake's poems contain incredible beauty and visionary power and polyvalent symbols energised with multiple meanings. I think if one consistent theme can be read from Blake and his poems, and I think this was his own intent, was that the power of the human imagination and what it produces in art transcends any attempt to 'bracket' or reduce it to a dead and static system of lifeless scientific symbols; I imagine Blake would class many critics of his work as agents of Urizen, trying to carve out of the fiery energized cosmos of the living human mind the perfect frozen archetype which orders all things perfectly but in doing so, misses the whole point.

Blake's poems then should be read not by trying to impose what you want to see in them but by trying to let them speak to you and perhaps, ignite your own spark of imagination, as Blake has done with many brilliant poets from Yeats to Allan Ginsberg and many others.
