Be yourself, act responsibly, and remember you are the same person both online and offline
The world is changing and so is business. The Internet, and various "Web 2.0" technologies, for lack of a better (or even good) name, are rapidly becoming an integral part of business and life. The Virtual Handshake doesn't attempt to get you entirely up to date -- that's impossible, but up to speed -- that's far more valuable. If you don't have any trusted colleagues you've never met in ...

Evolution of jumping skills.
This book breaks the demands or jumping down into a logical progression of skills until it takes the insecure beginning rider into a confident partner to the jumping horse. If these lessons are followed correctly, it can also take a training level horse into a skilled show jumper. This book is a must for anyone interested int he discipline of jumping.
How Buildings Work

Oxford Univ Press

Great Introduction for the Novice
I approach this book as someone who likes to walk around old neighborhoods and look at houses. I have collected architectural field guides for years and I can identify most building styles. However, I had little idea how buildings worked. This book was enjoyable because the writing style was simple and straight to the point. One does not need a technical background to get a lot out of the ...

Excellent Field Guide for Young Birdwatchers
My Uncle, G. Max White, gave my son a hand-crafted peanut butter feeder that he'd made and stained. He explained to his great-nephew, in specific detail, the kinds of birds he would start to see. We hung the feeder outside my son's window and within three days the birds started to arrive. My son was elated! We decided to add a birdseed feeder, a woodpecker feeder, a finch feeder, and a ...

I was there during this time frame, June 67 till June 68
I found that this book was very intense to read. I finished it in 4 days of reading. I find it very interesting that the author would pick Rufus Hood to dedicate this book to. I was with Rufus the day he was killed. Rest in piece Rufus.

An excellent bedtime story
Our 21 month old son loves reading this book, both at bedtime and anytime we are reading together. It starts with Elmo at the park with his Dad, and they head home to get ready for bed. Along the way, Elmo sees different Sesame Street Monsters getting ready for bed by brushing their teeth, jumping on the bed, reading to their teddy bears, etc. Everyone is getting ready for bed, and at the end, ...

From the perspective of a non-birder...
I'm not a birder, though it seems like an interesting hobby. But I just look at the birds at the feeders and birdbath in the back yard and think, "I wonder what that one is?" So, I bought "The Sibley Guide to Birds" (which is outstanding) on the recommendation of a birder friend, and that led me to this book. On the one hand, it's a long, dense, scientific work. The years of effort and ...

Stop Being Labeled "The Promotions Guy/Gal"!
If you are tired of the label, "promotions guy or gal", then this book is for you because it expands on the true definition and role of a marketer. Many companies like to put marketing in the advertising, promotions, communications box, and this is where most marketing professionals reside in the organization. However, this is a recipe for marginalization. A true marketing professional ...

A Fortuitous Discovery
I'm a big Opera fan, and my grandmother bought me this book because she thought it was about great Italian singers. You can imagine my disappointment when I realized this book was about the characters from a TV show focusing on the Mafia. I don't have a TV, so I'd never seen the "Sopranos" show. Reading about something I had no knowledge of, or interest in, seemed dumb at first, but I had the ...
Sibley's Birding Basics
11 reviews
David Allen Sibley
Knopf
, 2002
The best introduction I've seen
This is the best instruction I've ever seen, printed or otherwise, on learning how to bird. It includes not only basic visual identification skills, but also the basics of how to bird by sound. Sibley teaches the feather groups and anatomy, plumage variations, molting patterns, and effects of lighting that make some indentifications so difficult. I would recommend it to any aspiring birder.

A must read!
This book tells the amazing true story of a wonderful man. It is such an inspiration. This is volume one of two and I am eager to read the next book. It reminded me of All Things Great and Small. If you liked that series of books, you will love this book! What a great read and a great gift! I highly recommend it.

Author's review of The Eastern Mysteries
This book is the first volume of a two volume set that took me over 20 years to research and write. As a child I was drawn to the magic of the ancient alphabets. At nine years old, I had already committed to memory the Greek alphabet. I was able to write in my child's hand the Egyptian hieroglyphic phonetic alphabet. I also copied out from an encyclopedia the Phoenician alphabet, and saw the ...

Geoffrey Chaucer

Are You Man Enough to Be Husband Six?
There is no poet in any language of more extravagant wit and wisdom than old Geoffrey Chaucer, and no more universal, but for the challenge of the language. Like Homer in Greek, Dante in Italian, Chaucer set the bar too high for anyone ever to exceed him. And how fundamentally English he was, as if all the "personality" of our literature flowed from the same cultural spring! My generation may ...

I hate Morgan dollars, but I enjoyed this book
Earning my living from numismatics, I can't afford to miss reading just about any book from the field of numismatics. So, I set myself down for some boring reading since I just hate Morgan dollars. But I was engrossed. Mr Bowers is a capable author as well as a famous numismatist. The history of all U.S. dollars is covered in brief, and then the history of why the Morgan dollar was even ...

Essential
A practical blueprint for reforming one's life, family, and culture. A sample of Senior's wisdom: "First, negatively, smash the television set. The Catholic Church is not opposed to violence; only to unjust violence; so smash the television set. And, positively, put the time and money you now spend on such entertainment into a piano so that music is restored to your home, common, ordinary ...

High water mark of renaissance painting
This remarkable show (and catalogue) is a summary of Venetian painting from 1500 to 1530, allowing a side by side comparison of the work of Bellini, Giorgione, and Titian in what was one of Venice's astonishing high water marks of artistic creativity. Once you have been bitten by the bug, these paintings are with you for good. Seeing this work firsthand, one can't help be seduced by the ...

Psychiatrist make practical sense
David Allen is a well trained classical psychiatrist who has written a practical book that addresses behavior from a unique vantage point. The unique feature of this book is the fact that classical psychiatry is framed in a clear Christian light. My experience with "Christian" self help books is that they are so frequently based on the premise that if you "believe" everything will be OK and if ...
