Great blend of drama and reality.
Peter Goodchild's take on the events following the upheaval at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago masterfully mixes real life interviews with dramatic re-enactments from the courtroom. The actors portray the 60's "hippies" with passion and reverence. The interviewing of historians and participants provides intriguing details into the events. Truly a great blend of drama and reality.

Life-changing, answers questions I've had my whole life!!!
Oh my gosh! This book is absolutely amazing. Purely a gift from God. It is the most magnificent book I have read in a year. It is one of those that you just can't put down. It is unique from anything I have ever read, and rivals "Jesus Speaks." Most importantly, this book finally answers the question we all carry with us our whole lives: "WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?" I ...

A Review: One man show and tell
This beautiful publication makes you feel fortunate to live in an era when hardbound books filled with juicy pictures printed on quality paper stock are still here for the wonder of our minds and hands. For some reason the multifaceted brilliant artist Bruce Conner is not very well known outside rarefied circles of experimental film-o-philes or assemblage art fans, and this book should go a ...

Review of Pond Water Zoo
This book affords a youngster (or adult) a gateway to a brand-new world, with its own rules and dramas, right under our noses. In a very readable way, it makes the world discovered by van Leeuwenhoek (the inventor of the microscope) real and accessible to young children and busy adults. Using pictures on every page, it guides the reader through an overview of this amazing menagerie and ...

This story would have made a great feature film
There is no question that the most exciting menace against the Federation of Star Trek was the Borg, that collective being whose purpose is simply to assimilate all creatures that they encounter. In the two-part episode "Best of Both Worlds", the crew of the Enterprise is able to defeat the Borg after Captain Picard is captured and assimilated into the Borg collective under the name Locutus. ...
Abolishing Performance Appraisals: Why They Backfire and What to Do Instead
25 reviews
Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2000
Smashing those unchallenged assumptions about appraisal.
If you grapple with performance appraisal, then it might be worth thinking through the assumptions that you have built your performance appraisal system upon. And that's how Tom and Mary's book can help. They describe a series of assumptions that most performance appraisal systems are based on, and they offer up some more useful (and more reality-based) assumptions that provide the foundations ...

A wonderful collection by the modern Thoreau
This is a book any nature lover should pick up. I'd heard Matthiessen's name but sadly hadn't read any of his work until now, and what a great collection this is to start off with. Matthiessen writes about the world around us vividly, lyrically and eloquently, without getting TOO florid and new-agey as some nature writers tend to do. He travels the world in this collection spanning his career, ...

A transformational perspective on healing and prayer
This is a wonderful book that resonated deeply within me and has left me feeling a deep inner peace. The book beautifully explains about the journey of the soul and the causes and purpose of illness and dis-ease, enabling the reader to gain a new perspective on their own ability to heal themselves. The information on how the soul can heal itself is remarkable and I feel everyone would benefit ...

Henry Jenkins is brilliant.
Why more people don't know his name is beyond me. Maybe its because of his haircut? In all seriousness, reading the man's work is like waking up and realizing that you've been dreaming. He lifts the veil off the world we live in, the media stream that we swim in, and he illuminates its basic nature better than anyone I have ever read. He also has the great advantage of not being a ...

Running away from Terrorists' Bombs
Thiss is a thriller of the James Buchan's "39 Steps" variety. It is the story of a man running away from the nuclear warheads that a bunch of religious terrorists plan to use to annihilate Britain. There is a neat tension as we wait for the first bomb to explode, then share in the the hero's mad scramble to escape which follows the blast. The book has depth of characterization. The hero, a ...

Don't look at the pictures!
I know it'll be the first thing you do, but if you buy this book, try not to look at the pictures ahead of time. There's a few spoilers there. It's a great book, although the end leaves the reader waiting to hear what's next. Also, reader beware: you will get a bad case of wanderlust about 20 pages into this book.

Life enhancing information,
Having enjoyed the "Leaders" interview book, I was really excited when I read the 'Mens' interview book. I chose to read the chapters from Elvis Presley and John Lennon first, of course! There are four famous people from Britain in the book, plus Pablo Picasso, making it so fascinating for me to discover more about their lives. I gained more of an insight into American History by reading the ...

Straight forward applicable instruction WITH evaluation models
I needed self directed training and advice I could apply on the job. This little book delivered in spades. The step by step instruction on collecting and analyzing data had very 'ready' applicability. The UK referenced case studies were of closer relevancy to Australia. Instruction on how to utilize algorithms and evaluative models are in the book, and accompanied with a cd of the models ...

The author spends several years in his boat "The Cooper" living along the gulf coast. In the book he befriends many local residents and talk richly about the aquatic life, manatees, and birds. He goes into detail about the different types of marsh grasses, mangrove swamps, etc. ...

Creative and science poetry
Like volcanos that create new land, Lisa Peters has created a fun volcano book that combines poetry, visually interesting art, and volcano information. It's tops on my list of volcano books for kids of all ages. I have given this book to a number of budding volcanologists.

Starr Jenkins does a comprehensive job of integrating the early history, glory and tragedies of the Forest Service's Missoula, Montana Smokejumpers with photographs and good writing. This is a collectors book as well as good reading for anyone interested in Forest Service history and conservation.

Intriguing and Inspiring
Not only did I learn a lot about these womens 'real' life but even more interesting was the point of view the soul takes on once life is over and there a very different "reality" is uncovered. I very much enjoyed the deep insights from a soul perspective, a truth that resonates deeply and has the power to change one's way of perceiving life.
