What a riot!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2006-05-06
We use this book at late-night parties -- reading sections out loud brings raucous laughter and sometimes prolonged discussion. One game is to substitute certain words -- for example, everytime the book uses the word "kissing" in its advice to teenagers about the perils of getting too forward on the first date, you choose some other word, some other activity, and say that word instead. What a gas!

this is the funniest book I have ever read. My favorite chapter is called Expressing Affection. I think it is hilarious that people might have followed this strictly at one time. No offense to those who did. It is just funny in this day and time and sometimes i wish boys still acted this way.

What a truely lovely book this is. It is so refreshing to read a book to my children and actually enjoy it myself. Lots of playfull humour and original characters. This one is actually a big improvement on the first book which I also enjoyed but found a little too long.
Keep it up, Mr Trayer.

My young boy read Galibrath's Will, the first book in the series about a year ago. He loved it, so I bought him the sequel, Articulus Quest. A really wonderful book, especially for 8 to 14 year olds. Such lovely character descriptions. The book also has excellent pace, much like Dan Brown's books, but for children. Felicity, the hero, never stops. She is always jumping out of one mess to jump into another. Some nice comic moments too. I really recommend this title to any parents trying to persuade their kids to read, but they have finished all the Harry Potter books. Good stuff.

Review Date: 2002-03-16
Organizations spend vast amounts of time, money and energy to recruit and hire top executives. Then those same companies let these new valuable employees sink or swim totally on their own. A new receptionist is likely to receive more attention than a new division manager, as author Diane Downey explains. Despite its jargon-laden title, this enlightening book will change the way you think about hiring or being hired. We from getAbstract recommend this book to any manager who hires, who is being hired for a high-level job or who would like to be.

A must read for any new leader or aspiring leader!

How many times have you read a book and then found yourself wishing, if only I had had this book way back when.....In this case, I kept finding myself saying, "if only I had had this book when I started this new job, I would have known that I wasn't alone in what I was going through." Apparently, the trials and frustrations of organizational politics and culture come in a common and predictable form. This book is full of insights and tips about how to build relationships and influence in an organization quickly and strategically. I found the author's description of the four stages of assimilation process to be particularly insightful. The psychology of the assimilation process really resonated with the experience I've had time and time again each time I've taken on a new job. While the author's assimilation model does not reflect radically new information about what happens when you enter a new job or company, it is full of intuitive truths about what one often forgets. After all, how many times have we repeated the experience of starting a new job, new company, joining a new team and yet how often do we learn from that experience to be more deliberate in our actions and change our behavior in a given situation to have a greater impact? Then before you know it, you've left the company, joined a new company and make the same initial mistakes you made previously. And then in hindsight, you say to yourself, "I wish I had done this differently" or that you had the power of hindsight. Well, with this book, you do. While the tactics in the book are targeted to an HR audience, the author shares a multitude of practical insights and tools to help you as a leader make decisions at those critical points, understand and analyze the political and organizational dynamics within your organization, and develop a plan for short term wins and long term impact within your organization. The executive handbook in the back of the book was particularly useful tool.

The economy is booming and opportunities are jumping but how does one makes the proper career move ! In this new AESC 2000 Membership Directory, the perplexed candidate will find some of the keys to the executive suite. Some great articles on Leadership but also more importantly addresses and references by specialties for the major "headhunters". Will this get you the CEO job you covet? not necessarily- but al least you will know how to respond to that recruiter phone call and to whom to write to when you become impatient. The cost is equal to a cheap dinner for two and you are definitely worth that investment. Good luck and Good Hunting!

Review Date: 2006-04-07
I am an author and a poet and during a leisure trip to Las Vegas, Nevada with my family, we were able to obtain a front row seat at the Gladys Knight Show. It was awesome. What a display of great talent! Reading her book is fascinating. The historical perspective of her story is amazing. She states how she believes diabetes eventually crept upon her, and why. However, she has it under control. The ways in which she blends her songs into her treatment plan is humbling. For example, she uses the heading in one section of the book, "Neither One Of Us Wants to Say Goodbye to the Cheeseburger," where she discusses fatty foods and how to avoid fast foods. The pictures of her family are wonderful. Her philosophy of dealing with positive people, exercising daily, and burning calories is a formula for success. The final section of the book deals with a variety of mouth-watering dishes and recipes. They are all healthy with her special blend of spices, herbs, and juices, with a low fat touch. This is an easy and relaxing book to read. It's a great treat to and for lowering one's blood sugar and staying healthy. I highly recommend it!!!

Thank you Mrs. Knight

At Home With Gladys Knight is a wonderful, inspiring book. I bought this book for my parents who both have diabetes. After years of trying to get them to follow doctor recommended diets it is a relief to have a book that inspires my parents to not only care about their diet, but their physical fitness as well.
Mrs. Knight has created a quick and easy read that is full of motivation. This book gets 5 stars in the Murphy household.

The authority on US transportation tokens.

Review Date: 1998-08-23
This book covers US transportation tokens as completely as is humanely possible. Although tokens are not illustrated, descriptions are clearly written and well-organized, and a comprehesive index is provided, so finding a token is easy. However, a more recent edition (5th, 1996) is available for about the same price. AVA members receive periodic updates.

The Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Tranportation Tokens is actually a three volume set. Volume I (The Listing) is in its fifth edition (published in 1996). However, Volume 2 (History and Encyclopedia of Transporation Tokens) and Volume 3 (Minor Die Varieties) are both still current in the fourth edition (1985 & 1986 respectively). Published by the American Vecturist Association, this set is THE definitive reference for Transportation Tokens in the U.S. and Canada. Supplements to the listing are published periodically. Membership in the AVA is currently $22 per year and open to all, subject to the AVA constitution, bylaws and code of ethics. See the AVA website for an application.

Haunting
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 2007-01-18
I originally saw these photos on exhibit in Chicago, and couldn't get them out of my mind. So, I bought the book. The photos aren't at all gory, there are no shots of skinny corpses or gruesome remains in ovens. Instead they are photos of every day people. I think that makes them all the more chilling because these are people we can relate to. It's hard to put this book down once you start reading it. The story is fascinating, the photos will haunt you. You can clearly see the looks on the peoples' faces. It's a look of blind terror, the faces of people resigned to their doom. As a reader you know most all of these people will be dead an hour after these photos were taken. It's not light reading but it's one of my most remembered books.

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Israel and Bella Gutterman, The Auschwitz Album: The Story Of A Transport is a chillingly historical, photographic album accurately preserving and presenting the memory of the unspeakable, methodically planned, Nazi genocide perpetrated in World War II which came to be called the Holocaust. Black-and-white images of the Auschwitz concentration camp and transportation thereto, along with a compelling historical overview and commentary, make The Auschwitz Album a sober and seminal contribution to personal, academic, and community library Holocaust Studies reference shelves.

Review Date: 2007-09-28
Everyone needs a calendar so why not grab one that tells you about the quilts that are featured each month? There is a different quilt for each month of the year.

You get a two to three paragraph blurb about each quilts plus the large view of the quilt on month page it is featured on.

Of course having a calendar with squares for keeping track of your daily routine is always a plus. And with the bright colors of the quilts, your walls will have a splash of color as well.
