The author seems to have a cystal ball when he talked about analysts and how they did the wrong thing by investors. Robbing You Blind also hits the nail on the head when it talks about brokers and their wicked ways. Enron 401k messes are predicted in the book and not one soul seems to have cared to take care of the ...             Who Are You to Judge?: Learning to Distinguish Between Truths, Half-Truths and Lies10 reviews Erwin W. Lutzer Moody Publishers, 2002 Judgments are both necessary and needed We hear this quote many times in our lives, "Who are you to judge?" Jesus said, "Do not judge or you to will be judged." So, what does this mean?--- Don't become a Pharisee, but do make righteous judgments. Erwin Lutzer is senior pastor of Moody Church in Chicago. He explains what our roles are as Christians and why judgments are both necessary and needed. But one should not judge petty ...             Tall Tales, Half-Truths, and Big Fat Lies!1 review Re al Bull Oney LLC iUniverse, Inc., 2006 This book's title speaks for itself My favorite by this author thus far! The title says it all, are our beliefs made up of just that? This book follows the life on planet Earth of Jamison Dargod through sometimes humorous, but always thought provoking adventures. Just who he is and where he came from, you'll have to read the book to discover. The author's knowledge of history is clearly revealed in this story, as he keeps to a ...             Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths And Total Nonsense: Profiting From Evidence-Based Management36 reviews Jeffrey Pfeffer, Robert I. Sutton Harvard Business School Press, 2006 Another thought provoking work from Pfeffer I've been an avid Pfeffer fan since 'Resource Dependency', so am inclined to give him 5 stars for anything he writes. The main themes in here are extremely thought provoking and are great for jogging one's brain to think thorough one's management assumptions. A few of his analogies are weak...I believe there are better cases as analogies for some of Pfeffer's points. He relies upon his ...             That's It!: Thoughts of Fantasies, Half-Truths, and Outright Lies1 review Anthony P Johnson AuthorHouse, 2002 That's It! - So much more on so many levels That's It! Thoughts of Fantasies, Half-Truths, and Outright Lies is a startlingly frank exploration of an incredible range of common emotions and life experiences from a uniquely masculine and African-American perspective. The openess and honesty of this compilation of poems and short stories transcends the boundaries of race and gender to resonate with most readers, who have ever experienced ...             Half Families Made Whole Through Christ: The Transforming Journey of Truth, Hope, and Love for Single Parents1 review Bev Frank iUniverse, Inc., 2006 This author cares Experts write books full of advice for single parents, but no one can do it better than someone who has lived as a single mom. Bev Frank has been through it all and lived to tell her story. She's learned the truths in this book the hard way and knows they work. There are no easy answers, no quick fixes, just truth. Bev Frank cares about single mothers and it shows from the first chapter to the ...             Half the Truth1 review David J. Walker St. Martin's Press, 1996 Imagine Bill Murray as a p.i. Certain novels have that quality of sliding off the top of the head after being read. Expertly written and plotted, they have nothing more on their mind than entertaining you. "Half the Truth" is just such a book. Chicago private detective Malachy Foley is a '90s kind of p.i.: hard-boiled but sensitive. He's got a knack for finding trouble, a desire to help and an ex-wife he would like to ...             Half-Truths and One-and-a-Half Truths: Selected Aphorisms1 review Karl Kraus University Of Chicago Press, 1990 Wit and Wisdom For curmudgeons, the best part of the book -- which is largely comprised of six sections of aphorisms, 26 pages of Introduction, and three pages of bibliography -- is the last section entitled "Lord, forgive them...." The title of this section is based on the last one of Karl Kraus' aphorisms edited for this book, a reframing of, or play upon, a New Testament idea: "Lord, forgive them for they ...             The Half-Truth High: Breaking the Illusions of the Most Powerful Drug In Life & Business26 reviews Kevin J Fleming iUniverse, Inc., 2007 Searching for Meaning Dr Kevin Fleming declares what most people avoid. To find meaning in Life we must ask ourselves strong, clear genuine questions and more importantly accept the answers. He points to easy solutions offered in psychology, business and religion that do not take us closer to truth. Importantly he reminds us that just to accept the status quo usually does not lead us to a more creative or fulfilling ...             Myths, Lies, & Half-Truths: How Misreading the Bible Neutralizes Christians1 review Gary Demar American Vision, 2004 Excellent, convicting book I purchased this book with a certain amount of skepticism, but quickly became convicted at Demar's arguements that secular humanism is pushing Christianity out of every aspect of life in the United States. Demar presents strong arguements in each of his chapters addressing how the secularists of this age want Christians to keep their "religion" inside the four walls of the church only while ...             Health Care Half Truths: Too Many Myths, Not Enough Reality3 reviews Arthur Garson, Carolyn L. Engelhard Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2007 Very clear, quick intro to US health care system in 2007 This book is an excellent, up-to-date overview of how the health care system works as of today. It assumes little prior knowledge, although you might have deeper understanding if you have some (they talk about the Clinton health care reform plan of 1994 but spend little time explaining what it would have done). The book is phrased as a series of "myths," but that seems to me just a gimmick that ...             If Life Were Fair, Horses Would Ride Half the Time (Truth about Life)1 review Ben Goode Apricot Press, 2002 Had me laughing all day!!! This book definately brightened my day. It didn't take long to read, but it kept me laughing!!! It's one of those books that people look at you funny while you're reading it, because you randomly start laughing! :)             The Truth at Half Staff5 reviews Ernest Jude Navy Xlibris Corporation, 2005 Thought Provoking After reading this book, one would wish that most be people in this country had the same insight as the writer of these essays. From the political essays to his religious essays, I would found every word interested. My mind grew with every page I turned. Please read and learn.             All the Essential Half-Truths about Higher Education2 reviews George Dennis O'Brien University Of Chicago Press, 2000 This is a great book! I highly recommend this book whether you are a student, parent of a soon-to-be college student, are considering a career in academia or are just plain curious. It is very well written, witty and highly informative. I always recommend it to my friends in academia, especially when the subject of tenure comes up, which he discusses at length. He also discusses the history of the university, which I ...             Savage Lies: The Half-Truths, Distortions and Outright Lies of a Right-Wing Blowhard7 reviews Bill Bowman Lulu.com, 2006 A psychotically violent nation. Mr. Bowman has done the country a great service by deconstructing the deceitful arguments of Michael Savage. On top of all the misinformation, Savage is also training his emotionally vulnerable audience in how to carry a consistently combative, denegrating attitude towards various enemies of America's military industrial state. A nation as psychotically violent as ours (having exterminated the ...             Veiled Half-Truths: Western Travelers' Perception of Middle Eastern Women2 reviews I. B. Tauris, 1996 Politicized study of skewed accounts A politicized and rigorous survey of the depictions of `Oriental' women in the writings of 18th, 19th and 20th century European travel books, memoirs, and guides about North Africa, Egypt, the Holy Land, and Turkey. It's fascinating to note the degree to which the writers' own prejudices about the region, Muslim culture, the veil, the harem -- and the place of women in society in general -- ...             Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't93 reviews John R. Lott Jr. Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2007 Informative One thing I like about Prof. Lott is that he does not try and be funny. I've read other books by economists and they try to be cute or witty or funny, but jokes usually fall flat. Prof. Lott sticks to the facts and draws conclusions, and I appreciate that.             Understanding Flight14 reviews David Anderson, Scott Eberhardt McGraw-Hill Professional, 2000 A great introduction into flight I always was very interested in flight and aerodynamics but never really had the chance to read a book that gave me a clear understanding of the principles that are involved in it. Understanding Flight is a great introduction for everyone who is interested in this field. It provides a lot of useful information and explains the phenomenon of flight in a easy way. The good thing about this book ...              search for books aphorisms, blowhard, christians, dangerous, distinguish, distortions, education, essential, evidence-based, fantasies, freedomnomics, half-baked, half-truth, half-truths, illusions, management, misreading, moneymaking, neutralizes, one-and-a-half, perception, profiting, protecting, right-wing, strategies, theories, thoughts, transforming, travelers, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
