Locke AMACOM, 2000 Inspiring and Informative Ed Locke's _The Prime Movers_ is a fairly detailed and empirical analysis of the traits common to great business leaders. Using businessmen (and women) of the past and present as both positive and negative examples throughout, Locke makes an excellent case that traits such as independent vision, a relentlessly active mind, egoistic passion for work, and love of ability in others are essential ...             The Bone Key10 reviews Sarah Monette Prime Books, 2007 In the Best Tradition of Gothic Supernatural Horror On the cover it says: The Necromantic Mysteries of Kyle Murchison Booth. The book consists of ten short stories and the intro says the author was highly influenced by M. R. James and H. P. Lovecraft, but wished for a bit more character development. Booth is a retiring character who works as an archivist at a museum. The setting feels quite Victorian and Gothic, but there are phones, though ...             Hex Marks the Spot17 reviews Berkley Prime Crime, 2007 I have one question... We join Maggie O'Neill back in Indiana, in the mystical gift and antique shop Enchantments, where she works for a witch, Felicity Dow aka Liss. And Liss really is a witch - a practicing witch in an established community that is blithely aware of the paranormal happenings around them. At least, most of them seem to be immune, but many are starting to notice the increase in crime and accidents ...             "Don't Worry about a Thing, Dear" - Why Women Need Financial Intimacy15 reviews Helga Hayse Prime Life Publishing, 2006 What a powerful and needed book this is! I counsel both high school and adult students in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The advice given in this important book is invaluable and I will strongly recommend it to my students of both genders. I commend Helga Hayse for putting forth in such a clear, strong way that financial independence is essential to becoming an independent adult. Her authenticity is refreshing. Her ...             Michelle and Me11 reviews Tom;Houston, Victoria Shelby Prime Crime, 2002 Wish there was more........ What a great read. I was inspired especially when finding out that he not only volunteers his time to do search and rescue but that his K9 partner is a Doberman instead of the typical shepards. The stories were wonderful; I got a feel for what true search & rescue is like....not just all happy or gruesome endings. Hope he continues to write additional books.             My Early Life: 1874-190421 reviews Winston Churchill Scribner, 1996 The place to start. To say it exudes wit, humour, intelligence and charm is a big understatement. He was 56 at the time he wrote it... so, we have the benefit of experience too... A MUST READ. ADB PS: The film done about it (using the book as the script) is also very good if a bit slow in parts (specially political speeches).             The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Visions of Glory30 reviews William Manchester Little, Brown and Company, 1983 Gripping account of a misunderstood man-- you should read this! This is a truly *massive* work, equal parts scholarship and artistry. Though volume one runs close to a thousand pages (counting notes, sources, etc.), I finished reading it this afternoon after an off-and-on reading of about two weeks, and it just flew by. Manchester crafted this with such precision care that I fell into the narrative from page one. The greatest strength of the book itself-- ...             Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace Portfolio13 reviews Doug Chiang Chronicle Books, 1999 Get rid of all your other SW junk! If you think about it, a Star Wars fan has the option to buy Star Wars posters, toys, games, Dorito prizes and try to amass their own empire of collection. But think about it even more...regardless of how big of a Star Wars fan you are sooner or later you will realize that all those Star Wars paraphernalia are junk having the tendency to compile up. If you really want to get your hands on ...             Their Finest Hour (The Second World War)12 reviews Winston, Sir Churchill Houghton Mifflin Company, 1981 The Finest of the Series After reading this book, you truly begin to see how narrow minded the average American perception of World War II really is. Not to discount the magnificant American battles such as the landing at Normandy or the Battle for Midway, but the Battle for Britain was absolutely the finest display of honor and courage throughout the entire war. This tiny island and it's courageous people stood alone ...             The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Alone 1932-194034 reviews William Manchester Little, Brown and Company, 1988 Churchill Finest biography on Churchill ever written. A pity Manchester died before completing the third book of the trilogy.             Ha'penny8 reviews Jo Walton Tor Books, 2007 Challenging and chilling alternate history. I read a lot of junk; I'll admit it. But every once and awhile, I have to read something that causes me to think. Ha'penny fits this category. A sequel to Farthing, this alternate history continues that fine book's exploration of what may have happened if the U.S. did NOT help Great Britain during WWII. Profoundly chilling, beautifully written--and challenging, Ha'Penny is a subtle and personal ...             A, A¹ (A, A Prime)8 reviews Moto Hagio, Matt Thorn VIZ Media LLC, 1997 Provocative, compelling, and unmistakably shoujo! A, A Prime is a trilogy of short stories that are sci-fi and yet shoujo in nature. This is not kiddie fare though as mature themes like homosexuality come into play. In the first story, "A, A Prime", a young woman named Addy is killed on duty as a researcher in outer space. A clone of herself is sent to take her place. Generated from Addy's own cells and implanted with her memories, is this ...             The Making of the Wizard of Oz: Movie Magic and Studio Power in the Prime of MGM10 reviews Aljean Harmetz Hyperion, 1998 What a wicked world! Me, a cult icon from an MGM kid-flick! It doesn't matter unduly if you didn't grow up watching MGM's 1939 color movie "The Wizard of Oz" in re-release or on TV. You might think that a "Munchkin" is what used to be called a "doughnut hole." You may think of Judy Garland only as Liza Minnelli's mother, and avoid prewar movies like the plague. Maybe you didn't feel that shock of recognition that "Cora the Coffee Lady" in Maxwell House ...             Introduction to Analytic Number Theory (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)6 reviews Tom M. Apostol Springer, 1998 well presented, delightfully written I think that there will be little harm if the title of the book is changed to 'Introduction to elementary number theory' instead. The author presumes that the reader has not any knowledge of number theory. As a result, materials like congruence equation, primitive roots, and quadratic reciprocity are included. Of course as the title indicates, the book focusses more on the analytic aspect. The ...             Mrs. Jeffries and the Feast of St. Stephen (Berkley Prime Crime Mysteries)8 reviews Emily Brightwell Berkley Hardcover, 2007 23rd in a series--and a most delightful cozy Yuletide preparations abound in Victorian London. One celebration is the party Stephen Whitfield is hosting for a few select guests. How rude-the host didn't make it through dinner. He fell forward into his soup, dead. Now six guests are suspects, including a sister-in-law, boyhood friends, and a romantic interest, but who would want to kill Stephen? Each with their own special connections, ...             The Weedless Widow (Antique Lover's Mysteries (Prime Crime))7 reviews Deborah Morgan Berkley, 2002 Fishing is not always restful -- Ahah! Another second book that lives up to the expectations created by the first one. Deborah Morgan's first mystery novel 'Death is a Cabaret' was marvelous, I thought, and I'm delighted to say I was not one teensy bit disappointed in this one. Jeff Talbot is a most interesting character, very real and multi-faceted, and one of the author's greatest strengths is how well she gets in his head. A ...             Prime Time: Flourishing After 6010 reviews Diane S Schaupp 1st World Publishing, 2008 A scholarly work with heart Dr. Schaupp has successfully created a scholarly, well-documented work yet one that is filled with heart as well. Her vignettes support her thesis that life can begin anew after sixty.             Killing Mr. Lebanon: The Assasination of Rafik Hariri and its Impact on the Middle East6 reviews Nicholas Blanford I. B. Tauris, 2006 An account by an energetic reporter I knew Nick in Beirut as an energetic reporter always looking for big stories. His reports covered a wide array of issues including the Hizbullah-Israel war prior to 2000, interviews with Palestinian leadership in Lebanon, coverage of the post-Iraq war in 2003 and a lot of other issues. Nick has a keen eye to detail and a broad knowledge of the region. His book shows his talent as someone who ...             Punktown9 reviews Jeffrey Thomas Prime Books, 2005 Get Lost In Punktown?you won?t want to come back out All I can say to this new author is...WOW! What a great compilation of stories. Interesting, well written, imaginative, and absorbing; you won't want to leave Punktown once you submerge yourself into its seedy depths. On the planet of Oasis, an Earth established colony is formed called Paxton, but is known to everyone on Oasis as Punktown. In this colony, people from many different worlds and ...             Prime Choice: Perry Skky Jr. Series #1 (Perry Skky Jr.)8 reviews Stephanie Perry Moore Dafina, 2007 GIVE ME THE SEQUEL FAST!!!!!! This is a great book for teens and young adults. It's hip and with the programme and talks about stuff that teens and young adults talk about and deal with on a daily basis. Things like curfew, sex, virginity, going steady, dealing with parents - it's all here. There's no preaching down or preaching at - just real talk. I'm a mother and I enjoyed the book. It also gave me MORE insight into what ...              search for books 1874-1904, 1932-1940, analytic, antique, assasination, berkley, churchill, creators, episode, financial, finest, flourishing, intimacy, introduction, jeffries, killing, lebanon, mathematics, michelle, mysteries, number, phantom, portfolio, punktown, spencer, stephen, undergraduate, visions, weedless, winston books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
