Massie Blackstone Audiobooks, 1994 A Heartbreaking History This is an all-encompassing authoritative biography of the last ruling Romanovs, and Massie has compiled a thorough and well-researched insight into the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra. Even forty years after its original publication and long after the fall of the Soviet Union, it is a relevant part of Russian history. Massie is very sympathetic in his presentation of the royal family and ...             The Count of Monte Cristo (Part 2)388 reviews Alexandre Dumas Blackstone Audiobooks, 1997 Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.             Weight Loss Surgery For Dummies54 reviews Marina S. Kurian, Barbara Thompson, ... For Dummies, 2005 Great Book I bought this book to read before surgery. The book was very informative and has some good recipes in it too. The recipes can be made with stuff you already have in your kitchen and they taste great. I'd recommend this book to any one. Alicia North Carolina             Under Plum Lake34 reviews Lionel Davidson Puffin Books, 1983 dream, loss, and longing This is my favorite book. When I think of it, I recall being touched deeply as a child and haunted ever-after as one can be after waking from the most precious of dreams, trying to relate that experience to the waking world and having no choice but to relinquish it. While this might be described as a children's fiction, I still cannot understand how Mr. Davidson could have invented this narrative ...             Carry On, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)31 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Blackstone Audiobooks, 2000 A Capital Collection This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...             On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen173 reviews Harold McGee HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1986 excellent Delivered within the allotted estimated time period and in excellent condition. Went all the way to save the book from delivery damage (bubble wrap, peanuts; everything!).             Last Lion: Churchill-Vol 1 Part 139 reviews William Manchester Blackstone Audiobooks, 2000 As Good as Biography Gets This fully lives up to its reputation as perhaps the best biography ever written. Manchester does a peerless, masterful job filling in the background colors and giving a complete picture of Churchill from a young man into his early fifties. As Manchester emphasizes, this background was essentially the decline and fall of the British Empire and the aristocracy who ran it. Manchester's main point, ...             Peter the Great, Part 2 of 2103 reviews Robert K. Massie Blackstone Audiobooks, 1991 Not only History - but a great Business Book As noted in all previous reviews, this is a facinating book on Peter and Russian history. However, it is a powerful book on organization skill. How do you bring in new cultures/learnings to an established environment. How do you manage your executives and the staff. Was able to learn much. There is much to digest, as it is long and has hundreds of characters. But a worthy work. I ...             Leave it to Psmith33 reviews Wodehouse, P.G. Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008 Always Wonderful If you know Wodehouse, you love Wodehouse and this book will just confirm your feelings. If you don't know Wodehouse, read this or any other book and you will fall in love with him. Every book you read is like going on vacation.             Seabiscuit [Unabridged Audiobook]639 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Recorded Books, LLC, 2001 Five Years Later, This Is Still The Best Sports Book I've Ever Read When I finished reading this book five years ago, I thought "Wow, that is the greatest sports book I have read." Well, I still think that way and I've read some great sports literature since. It's the combination of fascinating mini-biographies of Seabiscuit's owner, trainer and jockey that make this book so entertaining. These were fascinating people and if you were a horse racing fan, the ...             Funky to Fabulous: Surefire Success Strategies for the Savvy, Sassy and Swamped13 reviews Eli Davidson Oak Grove Publishing, 2006 Fun, Easy & Powerfully Transforming! Funky to Fabulous reads as if Eli Davidson is speaking directly to me! I experience each chapter as a present conversation with a girlfriend which makes it flow, easy to read and fun while providing very sensible and time-realistic exercises for deep issues/transformations. This book also really does work as a "just turn to the page" guide for right now results (rather than having to read front ...             Breathing Space: Living and Working at a Comfortable Pace in a Sped-Up Society11 reviews Jeff Davidson BookSurge, 2007 Read this book & see how much more you can accomplish in a day & how much more you can enjoy it! Breathing Space: Living and Working at a Comfortable Pace in a Sped-Up Society by Jeff Davidson During the early nineties when I was embarking on my departure from the corporate world & entering the Corridor to pursue my entrepreneurial interests, one book caught my personal attention. At that time, I was told that "information doubled once every eighteen months". Alvin Toffler, John ...             What The Shadow Told Me15 reviews Kurt Jose Ayau, David Rachels Eastern Washington University Press, 2005 It's a smalls smalls world Who would think that in a city of 8 million people (and those living in Monrovia) there would be a tight knit group that would all be touched in a big way by the hunt for a phantom manuscript? Learn of the secret (and not so secret) lives of all involved. With a celebrity list a mile long, penned in cameos include; Olga Korbut, Susan Dey, John Lennon, Tammy Faye Bakker, David Hasselhoff, ...             The Histories12 reviews Tacitus Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008 corrupting effects of power Reading Tacitus' Annals I oft remembered Thucydides' account of the Peleponnesian wars. An important theme of the latter work was the corrupting effects of prolonged war on the morals and intellect of the Athenian people, who were ultimately degraded so much that they voted the destruction of the people of a small island just because they had chosen to remain neutral. Tacitus, on the other hand, ...             The 60 Second Organizer: Sixty Solid Techniques for Beating Chaos at Home and at Work12 reviews Electronic & Database Publishing, Inc., 2008 How to reduce (if not eliminate) "chaos" This is one of two "60 Second" booklets written by Jeff Davidson that I recently read, the other being The 60 Second Procrastinator. With all due respect to how much can be accomplished in one minute, most (if not all) of those who need to get organized are procrastinators and most (if not all) procrastinators need to organized. In my opinion, few (if any) of them will read books such as these ...             How to Restore Your Harley-Davidson11 reviews Bruce Palmer Motorbooks Intl, 1991 Excellent book well worth buying. This is an invaluable book for anyone accurately restoring or converting an older model Harley. The author certainly knows his facts as he covers several earlier Harley models in the one 640 page book. In my case, I was keen to convert my 42WLA Harley to a 1940's civilian model as there are numerous restored WLA Harleys here in Australia. The book has helped me to keep the conversion as close to ...             From the Ashes12 reviews Graham Billy, Richard Davidson, ... Highbridge Audio, 2001 Beautiful, inspiring, real So many people are turning to faith since September 11, looking for reassurance, trying to find answers to hard questions. This remarkable book skips the banal platitudes; instead, it gave me real, solid guidance to begin to face those hard questions and try to make sense of it all. The variety and depth of this astounding collection of essays is breathtaking. I was astonished by how many ...             Into the Blue21 reviews Robert Goddard Blackstone Audiobooks, 1995 A HUNT FOR THE TRUTH THAT LEADS INTO THE BLUE Goddard does it again! In this novel we meet Harry Barnett, a fiftish failure with a past. Harry's life is immersed in failure; its only positive aspect being Harrys unlikely friendship with Alan Dysart, an Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Defense. While house sitting at Alan's villa in Greece, Harry is drawn into a perplexing and bizarre puzzle involving the disappearance of a ...             Paradise Lost19 reviews John Milton Blackstone Audiobooks, 1994 Rise and fall! First off, let me say that we're not talking here about the famous Qi gong instructor named John Milton. We're talking about the famous 17th-century English poet who wrote _Paradise Lost_ and _Paradise Regained_, two of the most wonderfully overlong Christian poems in the history of Western literature. Your English teacher will tell you that _Paradise Lost_ "narrates the story of Adam and ...             Sharpe's Sword (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series #14)15 reviews Bernard Cornwell Blackstone Audiobooks, 1995 A Great Series This is another entry on the Sharpe series. It is fun, entertaining and very readable. Cornwell's research is as excellent as usual. He takes some licenses for the shake of the story and continuity, but this is OK. Some people are outraged by the portrait of some of the real historical characters, but historical characters are rarely depicted accurately in historical fiction, so I think this can ...              search for books adventure, alexandra, audiobook, beating, breathing, churchill, churchill-vol, comfortable, cooking, davidson, dummies, fabulous, harley-davidson, histories, nicholas, organizer, paradise, restore, science, seabiscuit, society, sped-up, strategies, success, surefire, surgery, swamped, techniques, unabridged, working books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
