I love all Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's books.They keep my nose in them in'll i have finshed the whole book.

I've had this book since I was 10 (or so) and I've re-read it many times since and still enjoy it at 27. A wonderfully descriptive story based in Nova Scotia. The author gives an honest portrayal of life by the sea. Cat lovers will will love the cat's eye view of story, and the author writes in such a way that you can relate to Kiki's reactions to his lobster boat adventure. Terrific

ESTE ES EL MEJOR LIBRO DE COCINA QUE HE LEIDO EN MI VIDA. LAS RECETAS SON SIMPLES DE PREPARAR AUN CUANDO SON APARENTEMENTE COMPLICADAS EN SU ELEGANCIA Y EXOTICISMO. ESTAS SON RECETAS DE NUESTROS PUEBLOS EN TODA LA AMERICA LATINA, TRAIDAS AQUI POR EMIGRANTES QUE LAS TRANSFORMARON Y ADAPTARON A LA COCINA NORTE AMERICANA SIN PERDER NI EL SABOR NI EL CALOR LATINO! APARTE DE LAS RECETAS Y LAS PREPARACIONES, EL LIBRO ESTA LLENO DE ANECDOTAS DELICIOSAS Y SIMPATICAS ACERCA DE LAS PERSONAS QUE CONTRIBUYERONS SUS RECETAS FAMILIARES. ESTE NO ES UN LIBRO DE RESTAURANT, ES UN LIBRO CASERO...PERO CASERO ELEGANTE Y DISTINGUIDO! YO SE LO RECOMENDO A TODOS Y A TODAS! HACE UN LIBRO PERFECTO PARA RELAGALAR EN CUALQUIERA OCASION! Y ES UN LIBRO QUE SE LO PASARE A MIS HIJAS Y A MIS NIETAS! VIVA!

Labs being one of my favorite breeds and this book provide allot of info I didn't know so it was even better then I expected.

As usual, Tim C. did his homework before producing such an informative book. From the smallest detail to well-known facts about Geronimo, Tim leads his readers thru another part of our history. I read this book on a cruise in the library, but I knew I would want to buy my own copy!

Tim Champlin is THE western author of our generation!!!

This book not only has great and authentic recipes of foods that Latinos are cooking across the USA, it has great stories and explanations and the best FLAVOR of any cookboook I've used in a long time. The recipes work and the people who share their recipes--from Gloria Estefan to New Mexico Santero artist Charlie Carrillo and scores and scores of other famous and important Latinos--are real and easy to cook, yet different and captivating in a very special way.

A beautifully written, well-researched, amusing and insightful short book about the inherent tension between management and leadership. The writer uses compelling historical figures such as Margaret Thatcher, Hitler, Churchill and Kennedy to demonstrate the different styles of leadership and their clash with management needs. The depth of research gives the reader a real sense of the leader, his or her foibles and brilliance, and his or her effect on others. In addition to providing insight about three very different leadership and management styles, the writer provides advice about how to create an alliance between leadership and management that will make success more likely. This small but meaty book ends by giving the reader a succint process for reconciling the often competing demands of leadership and management. A must read for anyone who wants to understand leadership and management at a core level and enhance his or her ability to both lead and manage.

Professor Lundu's book clearly potrays the role of the library (and of course information) in national development. The book gives a clear picture of how library and information services can help alleviate poverty, promote human rights and above all contribute to social, economic and political development of any given nation. Though the book is written with a focus on the Zambian context and experience, the views and opinions expressed therein are applicable worldwide.

I loved this book. It is basically a small business startup guide that focuses on choosing the LLC company structure. It could be used as a workbook to start your own business as an LLC. Even if you are planning to start a sole proprietorship or a corporation, this book still has substantial value for you. It is comprised of 18 chapters:

* List of forms on CD
* Introduction
1. Deciding to start business as an LLC
2. Business startup checklist
3. Developing a business plan
4. Developing a marketing plan
5. Developing a financial plan
6. Operating an LLC
7. LLC paperwork
8. Pre-organization activities
9. Articles of Organization
10. Operating Agreement
11. Members meetings
12. Amendments to Articles of Organization
13. Termination of LLC
14. Employee documents
15. Business financial recordkeeping
16. Business accounts
17. Business payroll
18. Taxation of LLC
* State LLC information
* Glossary of Terms

The things I liked the most about the book include: (1) the business plan material included in chapters 2 through 4, (2) the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement material in chapters 9, 10, and 12, (3) the coverage of Taxation of LLC in Chapter 18, (4) the State LLC information, and (5) the Glossary. All these areas were covered well, but more research should be pursued on each topic in order to fully understand them. A call to your local SCORE chapter would probably prove to be helpful to you to learn more. Also, you may want to visit the free law library at your county courthouse and ask the law librarian to show you the form book regarding LLCs.

Regarding the Business Startup Checklist, I would recommend that the preparation of your Operating Agreement, employee contracts, and Chart of Accounts should be done during the creation of your business plan. Doing these three tasks when the author suggests is a little late in the game in my humble opinion.

Also, at page 62 I would have said that an Operating Agreement is only important if the LLC is going to have more than one member. And I found it a little confusing when the author describes and discusses business plans when he talks of an overall business plan that includes three plans: business, marketing and financial. Maybe the sub-plan should have been called an operations plan?

I would have liked the book better if when financial plans for the business plan were discussed that there had been some coverage on cash flow statements. Cash flow is critically important for a small business - both in the planning stages and in the actual operating stages. 5 stars!
