There are only a small handful of books that I can highly recommend to someone who wants to be successful in real estate investing, and "The Courage to Be Rich" is one of my top choices. It is one of the books I enjoy reading again and again.
In the book, Mark O. Haroldsen instills the concept of IGDS (I'm going to die someday), driving home the fact that we all are born with a finite number of days in our lives. What we do with those days and the sooner we get started are up to us. The sooner we face that fact and summon up the courage to go after success, the better.
Mark introduces in easy to understand terms, what it takes to become a real estate investor and how residential real estate investing is an excellent vehicle toward riches. He tells us about fixer uppers (yuks) and how "Yuks create big bucks".
Although I first read this book in the 80's, I still enjoy it and recommend it if you are thinking of getting into the real estate investing market.

Bestselling author and financial expert Suze Orman helped millions of Americans turn toward their money and embark on a true path to wealth with her #1 bestseller The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom and her national bestseller You've Earned It, Don't Lose It. Now she returns, with a book that goes beyond the fundamentals of her earlier work in challenging and inspiring us to realize our full financial potential, and to realize as well that the bottom line of life is comprised of much more than money.

Practical, spiritual, and above all soundly financial, The Courage to Be Rich addresses the rites of passage we all must face -- marriage, divorce, death; spending (and overspending) on life's necessities and luxuries; taking control of our financial tomorrows today. From the business of love to buying a home; from imparting proper values to our children to defining our own self-worth; from starting over to staking a claim to our future, Orman shows us how to find the clarity, conviction, and courage to meet the obstacles and opportunities of a lifetime.

After the Civil War, genteel Kathleen Deveraux finds herself in extremely straitened circumstances. Desperation finds her answering an advertisement to be the bride of a " handsome, prosperous lumberman " in Oregon.

Unfortunately, the "lumberman " turns out to be far from prosperous, and neither does he need a wife. Tanner Blaine has more important things on his mind, like raising four younger brothers and getting enough timber to fulfill his contract. The last thing he needs is a wife that his younger, addlepated brothers have sent for. Even if the woman in question, is a vision with black curls, violet eyes and makes his heart yearn for what his head tells him he can't have.

When Tanner refuses to marry her, Kate digs in her heels, opens a pie shop and soon with the help of Tanner's younger brothers, becomes unwittingly, the matrimonial target of every bachelor in town.

"Courting Kate" is an amusing and a very well-written gem of a story. The two principal characters are well matched, and the other characters of Tanner's brothers, such as Matthew, and John, and Dr. Thomas are well drawn, weaving a charming cast.

Read this book, its like a mug of hot cocoa on a winter's day.

I like a good series. A Cowboy Under Her Tree by Allison Leigh was a good read.

Ratings have to be based on value for cost. No coffee or cocoa lover should ever pass up the opportunity to treat themselves to fine breweing when the price is right. Just don't expect a comprehensive recipe book!

I do appreciate that the author didn't merely try to fill the book up with fluff so the page count could translate into a more impressive retail price - Bill Anderson.

If you are looking for a book on how to create fantastic websites, this is not the book for you. This text books deals mainly with the written content of a website. It is all from the angle of a journalist's point of view for writing serious content on the web. The author has understood that technology would almost make the book obsolete the day it was published, so she has links at the end of each chapter to her own website which keeps the text up-to-date. This is a great source for novice webjournalists. If you are already a professional webjournalist, I would think that you already familiar with most of the content but it is still a great reference.

Criminal Anthropological Writings of Cesare Lombroso Published in the English Language Periodical Literature During the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries with Bibliographic Appendices of Books and Periodical Literature Pertaining to Lombroso and Criminal Anthropology by David M. Horton, Katherine E. Rich, Cesare Lombroso (Criminology Studies: Edwin Mellen Press) Cesare Lombroso, the Italian psychiatrist and criminal anthropologist, is almost universally recognized as the founder of scientific criminology. Since his death in 1909, however, he has often been regarded, as well, as a figure of quite dubious repute - a sloppy researcher, a racist, and - to quote T. S. Eliot's Prufrock, "at times the fool." While Lombroso contributed to this poor reputation through occasionally outlandish statements, the negative opinions stem equally from the fact that most readers have had access only to truncated and mutilated translations that badly misrepresent Lombroso's ideas. Today, the pendulum of scholarly opinion is swinging back to a fairer assessment that recognizes Lombroso as not only a key figure in the history of criminology but also one of the most fertile and influential thinkers of late nineteenth century Italy. This book reflects and encourages this process of reassessment.
By today's standards, Lombroso's methods may not seem scientifically rigorous. The percentage columns in his statistical tables do not always add to 100; he introduced folk sayings and passages from Dante to make scientific points; and he tended to reach broad conclusions before completing his analysis of a subject. Because those broad conclusions were often sensational - as in his claim to have identified the "born" criminal, a throwback to a more primitive stage in human development - his work was easy to parody and criticize. But Lombroso's work was also easily misunderstood because non-Italian readers had access only to fragmentary translations. Until 2004, one of Lombroso's two major criminological works, Criminal Woman, had never been translated in its entirety; English-only readers had to rely on The Female Offender, a partial, bowdlerized text of 1895. Lombroso's other major criminological work, Criminal Man, which he had taken through five editions, was available only in excerpts that gave no sense of the development of his thought over time. Mary Gibson and I hope to overcome this and other drawbacks in our forthcoming edition of Criminal Man.
For the first time, under one cover, this Lombroso omnibus gives us access to the complete range of literature by and about Lombroso and the development of criminal anthropology - and to fascinating ephemera as well. The material is extremely valuable partly for what it shows about the types of sources from which turn-of-the-century readers in English-speaking countries first learned about Lombroso, and partly because many of his articles published in the English language periodical press have been hitherto unknown to researchers. Moreover, these valuable contributions in the periodical literature demonstrate that late nineteenth and early twentieth-century general readers had a keen interest in Lombroso's work. This work, in sum, is extraordinarily useful not only for what it tells us about criminal anthropology, but also for what it reveals about the dissemination of Lombroso's ideas.
A second and equally significant contribution of this omnibus lies in its astounding bibliographies. The compilations exceed in scope and detail anything heretofore attempted, and set a new standard for historical bibliography in criminology. Only those who have spent years struggling to get accurate information on works by and about Lombroso and the Italian school of criminal anthropology can fully appreciate the value of these truly extraordinary bibliographies, which include
listings of all of his books in all languages, annotated citations to all of his periodical publications in English, as well as citations to his articles in French and Italian serials; listings of all publications about Lombroso and criminal anthropology; and materials on articles and books about the authors of works on criminal anthropology.
These bibliographies provide a solid and broad foundation for the new research on Lombroso and his work.
This book makes an exceedingly important contribution to our knowledge of a major figure, and of developments in criminology connected with that figure, whose full significance is only beginning to be realized. This omnibus is unquestionably a classic piece of research not only in the historical development of Lombrosian positivistic criminology, but in archival bibliography as well.

As we wrestle with the challenge & stress of day-to-day life, it's easy to forget the wonderful GOOD THINGS about our lives and circumstances. This book encourages reflection on those "positives" without the tyranny of a daily-diary format. Each section offers personal-reflection suggestions with room for writing, if you feel like writing. The reader is encouraged to consider a topic and write responses [examples: "Look around your livingroom and make note of all the special items you have there and the memories they hold for you. Write about those." "Consider the word CREATIVITY. Setting a timer for 5 minutes, write whatever comes to your mind."] I find just opening up this book for even a short time gives me an instant morale-boost. I can feel tension subside immediately as I read through the wonderfully moving personal anecdotes and inspirational quotations sprinkled throughout the book! It offers the perfect balance of "structure" and "freedom" for triggering personal discovery and gratitude! I've given it to all my close friends!
