Rich Books

This book has been added to my bookshelf as one of my new favorites! Whether or not you homeschool, if you have kids, this book will have some great information for you. My favorite section has to be the organizing section. Irene has great organizing tips that are DOABLE. Some organizing books and homeschool books I have read are impossible to implement, unless you are perfectly disciplined and have endless energy. This book is written like a friend talking to you while sharing a good cup of coffee, not like a lecture on how you could be doing better. There are lots of tips to try on organizing kitchens, bedrooms, family rooms, dining rooms, so that they are comfortable and homey as well as functional. She discusses different types of homes as well, whether you live in a rancher, a 3 story, apartment, etc. you are bound to get some ideas on how to make your living space better. My next favorite section is about your children and how each one learns differently. It would help you to help your child with homework or homeschooling. Irene also includes recipes (quick and easy) and time management tips among many other chapters. I also liked the questions to ponder at the end of each chapter, they helped me brainstorm and prioritize about what could make my homelife run more smoothly.

Irene's style is easy and warm-hearted. Her story offers something for everyone who seeks to find inspiration and encouragement in livng out God's Will in their family life. This book brings humor, insight, inspiration, and practical advice to homeschoolers and others alike. I have already begun to use it as a reference book as well, re-reading thoughts, ideas, and even recipes as I go about my week. Husbands will enjoy this book too! A wonderful story and helpful tool!

This is a new, year 2002, softbound, volume of 120 pages, loaded with over 200 very large, full color, sharp photos of every type of "funny face" item. It's a memory jogger, reminding you of stuff you've long forgotten. Descriptions of each item are very complete, and run the range from block heads, potato heads, magic whiskers to spud people and safety-oriented seventies and beyond. There's plenty of interesting text provided. It's completely indexed for easy location of items. An up to date price guide is included. A fun book to enjoy. Add it to your collectibles library.

Toys, always, had been played with then discarded. Now they have a shiny second life as nostalgic collectibles.

In the colorful, profusely illustrated FUNNY FACE, Mark Rich and Jeff Potocsnak take us through picture blocks, magnetic 'magic whiskers', interchangable pictures. Quite quickly, though, they get to the immortal Mr. Potato Head. And there they stay, exploring the phenomenon of plastic facial features stuck onto an actual vegtable.

There's much to see. Who remembers, for instance, that Mr. and Mrs Potato Head, products of the consumer culture of the 1950's, had cars, trailers, planes, boats, kitchen sets? Who would have guessed that their child would be all plastic and have human features?

The art, especially the original advertising (see the freckle-faced little girl on page 59) is a wonderful, somewhat unsettling look at a bygone time. The text is clever, tying the coming of Mr. PH in 1953 to the contemporary fascination with science fiction and space aliens. And pointing out that he was indisputably (and almost uniquely among then-contemporary toys) an adult.

Best of all, the book has the great good sense to quote me!

A true story of a crime gone awry, "Gallery of Fools: The True Story of a Celebrated Manhattan Art Theft" is author Jerome Tuccille's story of being dragged into the crime by his family as they lift paintings worth millions out of Manhattan art galleries, barely escaping intact. Trying to escape the misdeeds, he runs for Governor of New York, as life falls to shambles - the campaign fails, his family gets arrested for their actions and he begins to fall into financial ruin. He turns to redeem himself in any way he can. "Gallery of Fools: The True Story of a Celebrated Manhattan Art Theft" is highly recommended for community library true crime collections.

This book is a real paqe turner. It is all the more astounding since it is a true story that reads like an Elmore Leonard novel. It has all the elements of Get Shorty, Pulp Fiction, and The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight rolled into a single book. I finished it in two sittings. It is the kind of book you can't put down, and then you're sorry when you get to the end because it is so entertaining and enjoyable.

Paul Marano

Mr Abel's book is the seminal treatise on George Bush and his band of merry men's treatment of the American public. His criticisms, while harsh, ring with a note of fairness and present even-handed & objective evaluations of otherwise highly emotional issues. Mr Abel is to be applauded for presenting his facts in such an uncondescending manner, a fault of many critics of the Bush administration.

George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich by Gene P. Abel, Colonel, USAR Ret. (over 30 years of service as a commissioned officer, and two-time recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal) severely questions the immediate and long-term effects to America that the Bush administration is responsible for. Sharply critical, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich decries the administration's narrow-minded attempts to partially privatize Social Security without providing any transition fund for the interim monies that would be lost; the administration's alienation of its foreign allies in the years after the September 11 attacks due its blind press for war in Iraq; and the administration's utter failure to balance the budget or prevent an explosion of the national deficit. At the same time, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich is not universally negative; it notes the wise actions that President Bush has taken, but laments that the harmful actions may well outweigh the good in the president's legacy for the 21st century. Drawing information from more than 40 renowned sources, and including humorous blogs to convey points with a twist, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich not only identifies potential current and future problems stemming from the Bush administration but also offers recommendations for alternatives to cope with their personal impact on individual lives. Highly recommended.

Disclaimer: I know Matt Personally.

Matt's "Get Rich Book" is a gentle introduction to the world of personal finance. It is so gentle, in fact, that I could summarize the book in one word for you. But that wouldn't be fun.

And fun it is. It is a sunny and cheerful introduction to managing money by tried and tested principles. It is simple and easy to understand. Here are several things the book is
* A Funny Book
* A Filp Book (honest)
* A Work Book (yes, it invites you to use it)

Here are several things it isn't.
* A comprehensive guide to Wealth Management Before and After you death.
* A compendium of ideas on Personal Financial Management
* A book that uses words like "compendium" and "death"

As sad as it is to say, you know at least a few people who could use the elementary ideas to better their lives (seriously). You know that friend of yours from college who is using credit card debt to fly to Bahamas or arrange the wedding. Yes, them. Give them this book. Actually, buy ten copies and discreetly whack them with the stack. It will do them good. Honest.

And while you are at it, read it too. It's cheap, simple to follow, quick to read and very very funny.

Oh, the one word summary I mentioned? Save

Brian Tracy is an excellent teacher and motivator. I particularly enjoyed, Getting Rich in America. In it you'll get invaluable methods to become wealthy in America. This audio program contains tapes of the following: Profile of the Wealthy, Becoming a Money Magnet, Starting from Scratch, How to Find a Product or Service, Unlocking your Creativity, Sales and Marketing Ideas, Follow the Leaders, Getting the Money You Need, Success Strategies in Real Estate, Investment Strategies, Leading the Field. In these cassettes you get a load of knowledge and motivation to succeed. It's just great material to listen to and follow. Brian Tracy has many other audio programs that are just as awesome as this one. I give this a five star rating because it defiantly will get you to being rich in America.

There is no need to look any further to answer the question "What do those rich people do that makes them so rich?" Take the time to listen to this progrm and implement the ideas in to your own life and you will be rewarded.
Brian Tracy is an all round brilliant man who amazes me time and time again. It works for me, it can for you and any one else who good enough to listen.

This book is put together wonderfully to inform the reader of Gianni Versace's exotic, flamboyant and tragic life, as well as fill the book with pictures of Gianni Versace, models and his work of art in clothing.

this book is written by one of britains best tvhost and journalist. Lowri is the host of 'looking good'on the BBC and writes for British ELLE Magazine. Great book.

Lan's work is groundbreaking in capturing for English-language audiences, many of the dynamics in Taiwan, that are reflective and symptomatic of global trends in the feminisation of labour and migration, in the tensions between newly-created pockets of relative wealth and poverty, and in the roles of women as employers and as transient foreign domestic workers. This book is recommended for all who are not domestic workers themselves who seek to understand the phenomenon, that Lan captures of their insights and experiences in this indepth ethnographic tour, of mobile women in segmented, classed and gendered global labour markets. Students in Women's Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Development, Law, etc. will benefit from her approach to the field and the ethics of such research that underscores the concerns (for development) in areas of welfare, rights, justice, legal systems, civil society, and so forth, especially in a globalised context.

The content of the book was based on a well planned large scale multi-years, multi-phase international sociology field and qualitative research (although the name suggested only limited to Taiwan)result. Not to deep dive at the research methodology details too much for the audiences, the author instead presented many and complex issues facing working women(in particular working abroad as doemstic helper in Taiwan, Hong Kong, singapore, Malaysia), in a well organized manner, to challenge and invoke audience's thoughts and feel about these issues.

Great details and insights on how these respectable women around the world, work, function, social and overcome the challenges. It is academic oriented, yet the author's writing and styl drive people's emotion. I will not be surprised if you found wetness at the edge of your eyes while you read the book You felt true respect for these hard working global cinderellas from Southeast Asia.

Recommended for sociology students, researchers, interest groups, NGOs and government policy makers who like to develop similar research framework, or use it as supporting reference data and arguments.

This brings together all the books I have ever read on wealth and makes sense of them all! NOW I understand!! This book is very straightforward and right to the point. It's not a religious book as such. It makes so much sense. Very inexpensive too, for what it is. I highly recommend it! I've heard about the universal laws it talks about before, but they never made sense to me before I read this book, now they do! There's no filler in this book, it is straight to the point, and I like the way it does set out how to become rich, step by step. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This book is must-have. It sets it all out so clearly. This book has no filler or hype at all, unlike many books I have read on wealth. I was surprised to find out about the Law of Attraction, what it really is! I am excited by this book.
