I am a practicing Catholic struggling to make peace with some of the Church's teaching. Kennedy presents her own journey, as well as those of other Catholics - practicing, non-practicing & somewhere in between. The book's contributors vary widely in their experiences, as we all do. This book is for all Catholics - and those interested in Catholicism. It is a ...             Brief Interviews with Hideous Men68 reviews David Foster Wallace Back Bay Books, 2000 Talented writer will be missed I am still absorbing the news that David Foster Wallace apparently took his own life this weekend. He was 46. I vividly recall my experience reading "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men," because these short short stories are both insightful and laugh out loud funny. Wallace had a keen understanding of the often reptilian and repellent motivations of human beings. He knew that for all our ...             Clinician's Thesaurus, 6th Edition: The Guide to Conducting Interviews and Writing Psychological Reports (The ...14 reviews Edward L. Zuckerman The Guilford Press, 2005 Great book and price Book was in condition described in ad, great price and arrived in a timely manner. Thanks.             The Exceptional Presenter: A Proven Formula to Open Up and Own the Room30 reviews Timothy J. Koegel Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2007 Exceptional Presenter is a Great Primer The Exceptional Presenter is a great primer for someone who is inexperienced at making presentations. That having been said, it is also a great review tool for those who make presentations on a regular basis and there are bits and pieces for even the experienced presenter. I purchased for my entire training dept.             Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion Dalai Lama, Paul Ekman Times Books, 2008 Two leading thinkers engage in a landmark conversation about human emotions and the pursuit of psychological fulfillment At their first meeting, a remarkable bond was sparked between His Holiness the Dalai Lama, one of the world’s most revered spiritual leaders, and the psychologist Paul Ekman, whose groundbreaking work helped to define the science of emotions. Now these two luminaries share their thinking about science and spirituality, ...             Interview Guide for Evaluating Dsm-IV Psychiatric Disorders and the Mental Status Examination21 reviews Mark Zimmerman Psych Products Press, 1994 Excellent timing. Excellent Condition. I had an effortless purchase and delivery of this item. I was very pleased with the quality of the book and timeliness of delivery from the seller. Excellent.             The Power of Myth130 reviews Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers Anchor, 1991 Resonates with the song of the universe deep inside us. I have lost track of just how many times I have listened to this set of conversations, but they never seem to grow old to me. It might be a year or more between my getting them down from the shelf, but they still completely emgross me. Perhaps that is the best indication that eternal truths are being discussed here. Mr. Campbell recorded these sessions with Bill Moyers during the last two ...             Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders114 reviews Jack D. Schwager Marketplace Books, 2006 Inspiration for daytraders I generally only read textbooks about trading. Statistics, technical analysis, calculus etc. However, this very entertaining collection of interviews may be my favorite and most informative read. The stories give re-assurance that an individual can succeed through their own studies, analysis and effort. If you read carefully between the lines, you can figure out how the best in the business ...             Complete Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The ...130 reviews Anne Rice Ballantine Books, 1993 Good prices on a good set Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient POV. She recovers nicely in other stories! Overall a great series if you like vampires. Nice to get them all in one shot!! ...             Case in Point:Complete Case Interview Preparation - 5th edition45 reviews Marc P. Cosentino Burgee Press, 2007 Start your case prep here! I recommend Case in Point for 2 main reasons: It is both practical and thorough. The simulated cases give the novice a sense for the given-and-take of a case interview. And Cosentino's "Ivy Case System" helps non-MBAs to get grounded in the broad classes of issues that companies, and hence consultants, face. My advice: Kick-start your case interview preparation with this guide, and then ...             The Medical School Interview: Secrets and a System for Success18 reviews Jeremiah Fleenor Shift 4 Publishing, LLC, 2006 Accepted! Amazing little book, short and to the point. Lots of great advice about how to generally prepare and some good tidbits about some very specific things. It got me in. Highly recommended.             Where to Start and What to Ask: An Assessment Handbook7 reviews Susan Lukas W. W. Norton & Company, 1993 An excellent, practical, how-to book to prepare social work/psychology students for practicum These days, in preparation for my internship in the fall, I'm trying to read books that will remind me how to work clinically. This one is excellent, and I deeply wish I had read it in my second or third year of graduate school. I had to learn a lot of this stuff on the job, through floundering and making mistakes, and my field experiences would have been worlds easier if someone had just told ...             301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions37 reviews Vicky Oliver Sourcebooks, Inc., 2005 An Ideal Interview Companion No one enjoys sitting in front of an interview board and be judged. And everyone has a pet fear, "What if they think I am too old to start over" or "How do I explain why I quit my first job?" You will be surprised to know how many people stay in a job they hate just because they don't want to go through the job search, especially the interview. This book is a companion that makes you realize ...             Heard on the Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews25 reviews Timothy Falcon Crack Timothy Crack, 2008 Very useful book I wished I had read this book before I attended a very important exam of an investment bank. A lot of questions are from this book.             Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job (Programmer to Programmer)61 reviews John Mongan, Noah Suojanen, ... Wrox, 2007 Damn Good Book This book played a significant part in landing me a job at major technology company. Although out of the entire all-day interview process there was only one question that was actually very similar to one I read about in the book, I did benefit greatly from the advice on how to approach the interviewer, how to be verbal with my problem solving process, how to dress, even how to write my sample ...             SARAH PALIN: In Her Own Words - Recent Speeches, Interviews and Official Biography (includes Republican ...4 reviews, 2008 Great price for This Much Info This is a concise look at the VP nominee in "her own words" -- meaning no media spin. While it includes many of her speeches (like the day she was officially announced) it also includes her speech from the Republican Convention which is really helpful because you can read it word-for-word and learn much more than just hearing it.             Culinary Artistry69 reviews Andrew Dornenburg, Karen Page Wiley, 1996 My Favorite Culinary Book As a culinary student and aspiring chef, this book has shown me which flavors and ingredients to combine successfully. Using this book, I developed a glaze that finished in the top 3 of a food competition. Better than any cookbook with recipes.             Acing the Interview: How to Ask and Answer the Questions That Will Get You the Job6 reviews Tony Beshara AMACOM, 2008 Acing the Interview The title Acing the Interview doesn't really describe the breadth of knowledge Tony Beshara communicates in his latest book. If one does not venture to the Table of Contents, the book's cover tagline stating its inclusion of "450 Sample Questions" sounds very much like a dozen other self-help books for job seekers. But make no mistake, Tony is not pandering to the insecurities of those ...             How to Get Into the Top Consulting Firms: A Surefire Case Interview Method18 reviews T. Darling Intaglio Publishing, 2008 A solid book on "30-minute problem solving" The obvious comparison to this book is Marc Cosentino's Case In Point, which has been a best-seller in case interview preparation for many years. So perhaps the most obvious place to start a review is to say how this book differs from that. The focus of Darling's book is on problem solving and how to get your hands dirty with a problem for 15 minutes, then to come up again for air and ...             The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews, and More34 reviews Anna Ivey Harvest Books, 2005 Highly Recommended! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Anna Ivey, former Dean of Admissions at The University of Chicago Law School, provides an insiders guide filled with practical advice for any aspiring law student. It's not too often you will come across a book written by someone from the "other side" of the application process telling you what they are looking for from you when applying to law school.
