Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well. I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ...             Death and Life of Great American Cities (Peregrine Books)64 reviews Jane Jacobs Viking Pr, 1984 Great read I bought this book as a required reading for school. It was very easy to read and covered many interesting topics. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning more about the urban environment.             The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York107 reviews Robert A. Caro Vintage, 1975 Damning, erudite and compelling Robert Caro's biography reads like an extraordinary work of investigative journalism - damning, erudite and compelling - that surely would have been appreciated by Robert Moses had he not been the subject. It is a fascinating study of the evolution of government in New York City and Robert Moses' ability to shape laws as the "best bill drafter in Albany" and to seize upon prevailing trends and ...             The Ultimate Competitive Advantage: Secrets of Continuously Developing a More Profitable Business Model137 reviews Donald Mitchell, Carol Coles, ...

There are good books on software design patterns such as "Head First Design Patterns", and there are some good books on user interface design ...             The Complete Eldercare Planner : Where to Start, Questions to Ask, and How to Find Help54 reviews Joy Loverde Hyperion Books (Adult Trd Pap), 1997 Overwhelming Help in a crisis time of need 7-22-05 -- Recently I found myself along with 3 other siblings and spouses thrust into new uncharted waters in a totally new season of our lives.

This book seems an excellent guide to courses, how to approach all aspects of a trip. I especially like the amount of coverage given to the not so famous "gems"-that has altered my thinking somewhat in planning a course itinerary. Well written and very user friendly guide.             From Day One: CEO Advice to Launch an Extraordinary Career52 reviews William J.

Interesting that some people are surprised that Charles Givens produced this audio tape program and the book of the same name--SuperSelf; interesting because this is how Givens started way back in 1975 with his first company The Success Motivation Institute which was incredibly successful. SuperSelf is a program designed to take back control. To destroy the control others or events have over our ...             Stopped at Stalingrad: The Luftwaffe and Hitler's Defeat in the East, 1942-1943 (Modern War Studies(Paper))54 reviews Joel S. A. Hayward University Press of Kansas, 2001 This is the strongest Stalingrad book! Anthony Beevor's wife and publisher (the well-connected Hon. Artemis Cooper, no less) had her publicity machine whip his good book on Stalingrad into a huge international best-seller. That's perfectly okay. I liked Beevor's book very much, and do commend it to readers. But Beevor's isn't the most authoritative and analytical book on Stalingrad, that frightful, turning-point battle. Joel Hayward's ...             The Wedding Ceremony Planner: The Essential Guide to the Most Important Part of Your Wedding Day39 reviews Judith Johnson Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2005 The Perfect Guide for Weddings - Inspirational - Resourceful - A Perfect Helping Hand Being a wedding officiate for four years, I wish I had found this book for my first wedding.
