Morgan Books

Not just another one in the series, this addition is better than the last one as always.

"Frank Morgan" using his high intelligence to work both sides of the border in the Frank Morgan fashion. But this time Frank needed the assistance of others.

The plot twists and turns and just when you think you have it all figured out Mr. Johnstone throws in another plausible event that keeps you turning the pages to reconsider the outcome.

I found it a great read!

I look forward to the next one Mr. Johnstone!!

This book is an outstanding true account of a trip made by Zane Grey and a plainsman, Buffalo Jones - one of the last. Jones was a famous sportsmen in North America at the turn of the 20th century and Grey a famous author of adventure stories. Unlike many of Grey's fictional novels of the old west, this is an account of a trip made to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon about 1908, for the purpose of tracking and capturing mountain lions. In those days, the North Rim was famous for the number and size of cougars - one mentioned in the book was 10' long, tip of tail to nape of neck, and weighed 300 pounds. The story is riveting with many details of the Arizona high desert and Grand Canyon areas of that era and gives a wonderful account of the Ponderosa Pine forest now known as the Kaibab National Forest. The details given about the behavior of the mountain lion are well worth finding a copy of this classic work. Grey includes a chapter (XV) entitled "Jones on Cougars", in which he relates the wisdom of this plainsman on the species - gained through a long life in the wilderness including a sojourn as a game warden in the Yellowstone National Park, where he captured numerous cougars alive and killed seventy-two. Although modern views of the mountain lion seem to consider this animal more like an oversized, undomesticated sort of house cat, after reading this book you will definitely treat them with appropriate dignity and caution.

This book is 100% great - it goes in to evey aspect you could want to know about the relationship of Law and medicine. Areen is a great author and continues to teach at Georgetown Law Center in D.C. - I have read this book twice - and it's just great.

This book will be helpful to anyone within an organization who is resposible for leading people and training initiatives - or wants to learn how to do it properly. Good, practical advice on Learning and Knowledge Transfer from the significant Thought Leaders of this field. Good stuff!

I read this book for my Classic Ethnographies seminar at school. It is by far one of the most interesting ethnographies I have had the pleasure of reading. It combines ethnography with history and gives the reader a good overall view of the Iroquois. I can't recommend this book enough. If you only read one book on the Iroquois, this should be that book!

A Forest of Flowers is a collection of nineteen short stories split into two parts. The first deals with the happenings in the backwater village of Dukana, where superstition, corruption, and ignorance often have tragic consequences. The second part transports us to the city, where we find these same familiar human flaws alive and flourishing.

Don't let the title fool you. In this book, Ken Saro-Wiwa is unapologetically critical of the government, the church, and fellow Nigerians. The stories show the darkest sides of mankind. In an allegorical style, the author touches on everything from adultery to violent ethnic conflict to public apathy. But from within this sea of darkness comes an occasional story about a shining soul, determined to fight the tide.

I found this book to be captivating. Each story is quick (on average of eight pages) and to the point. They evoke a wide range of emotions. Some stories made me laugh out loud. Some made me angry. And others were very touching. It is an easy read, with a very limited use of pidgin which requires consulting the glossary. Despite the dark nature of many of the stories, A Forest of Flowers touches the heart.

While this book stands on its own as an outstanding contribution to Nigerian literature, it would also behoove the reader to learn about the author, who was a vocal human rights activist executed in 1996 for his criticism of the now defunct dictatorship.

Del'd with rapid speed in new conodition and so far I've only flipped thru it but at appears to be very complete and accurate in all detaul. Outstanding phopt's in black and white as wel;l as color. When time permits I shall usinig it in a class I'm offering at The Evergreen College; "the lost soilfsof our native Americans..In additin to all the casisnos that plagarizing the land it is reassuring that the Native Americans are proud of their roots as well as some of there new ventures. I wish them well! Sincerely; Harbert B. Drake ;19 W. Walnut St., Walla Walla , Washington 99362

First published in 1935, when Leica was still the best, but there were fewer choices in brands!

Scores of chapters by various professional photographers cover the usual lighting, developing, films, infrared, specializing in B/w, telephotography, motorized shooting, portraits, composition, etc.

Many sections specialize in Leicas, which is great: how to handle a Leica, take care of it and keep it running smoothly, history, how it changed photography, as a collectible, and other good stuff.

On semi-gloss thick paper, a very large fat book. There is a section of color photos, but more amazing b/w ones, some classic, and some contemporary. One made me burst out laughing! Highly recommended.

This team of authors has effectively catogorized experience as a tool for training managers. They have a very clear understanding that most of what managers learn is done through hard fought pain and effort - rarely the classroom.

Perhaps most useful is the chapter on learning from good, bad or indifferent bosses. The best part about the book is that these authors both understand the academic, social science research behind effective management, and they have blended it with hard ball qualitative interviews with real people in real job situations. Regretably, they don't give enough emphasis on how to manage one's own job experience.

All in all, an excellent tool. I have reread it five times and consult it regularly.

This book makes learning English very easy - beautiful pictures and easy text. I highly recommend this book to any ESOL educator or student.
