All those may be very useful to a professional in the field of psychology or sociology, but for a person who wants simply to get a handle on how to work and play with others, they are far too complex and obscure. The beauty of "Positive ...             Profiles In Courage For Our Time15 reviews Caroline Kennedy Hyperion, 2003 Inspirational This book is a compilation of short biographies of the winners of the Profile in Courage Award. It is a group effort, being the work of numerous historians and writers. I found these stories inspiring because many of them illuminate political leaders who took actions they knew would be detrimental to their careers. Yes, most of the award winners have been on the liberal side, but personally I ...             Markets in Profile: Profiting from the Auction Process (Wiley Trading)14 reviews James F. Dalton, Robert Bevan Dalton, ... Wiley, 2007 Essential I am a fan of the Dalton (and Jones) Gang. See my review of their other superb work, Mind Over Markets. I am not an author, like some of the reviewers here. I am a trader. We are all aware of the favorable reviews that authors often provide one another, however, these 5 star ratings are legitimate. Rest assured. Simply, Markets in Profile is an essential addition to a trader's ...             2009 Barron's Profiles of American Colleges 28 Edition with CD-ROM1 review Barrons Educational Series, 2008 Wow! What a resource! We are in the process of looking at colleges for our son. A friend recommended this book and I am so glad she did. The amount of information on thousands of colleges and universities is unbelievable. The CD that comes with the book really helps to narrow done your choices. On the CD you can enter different search catagories like: major, location, size of student body, cost, etc. The program ...             Hitler (2nd Edition) (Profiles in Power Series)4 reviews Ian Kershaw Longman, 2000 Excellent study by the best Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw is the premier historian on Hitler and Nazi Germany and this book from the Profiles in Power series is an excellent study on the roots, success, and ultimate destruction of the "Fuehrercult." Two schools of thought are used by historians to understand the power of Nazism. "Intentionalists" see the Nazi regime as the embodiment of Hitler as the totalitarian leader. "Structuralists," ...             The Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool Workbook: Discovering the Quality of Your Relationships with God ...1 review Randy Frazee Zondervan, 2005 Great Resource The most powerful part is the end of the process when you get to put it all together in a group context.             High Profile (Jesse Stone)72 reviews Robert B. Parker Berkley, 2008 another ho-hum reading experience, for the most part I did like the actual mystery in this one, but so many other things made it not a great read. I've been having a problem for a while with the way Jesse and Jen's "relationship" keeps plugging along. I will admit that I typically have problems with those relationships (real, fictional--it doesn't really matter much to me) where the partners are seemingly getting very little of substance out of ...             Black Profiles in Courage: A Legacy of African-American Achievement6 reviews Kareem Abdul-jabbar, Alan Steinberg Harper Paperbacks, 2000 Inspiring and Informative Simply put, I love this book. I like the fact that it summarizes the lives of so many African Americans including the famous and the still unknown. I highly recommend this book to any reader seeking information about the lives and consequent impact of some of our heroes.             Profiles in Courage (slipcased edition): Decisive Moments in the Lives of Celebrated Americans86 reviews John F. Kennedy HarperCollins, 2006 Just A Thought In Todays 213-212 House Energy Vote July 31 2008 I bought this book and it's a nice read and very historical, of course. I just wanted to put it in context today. 07/31/08 The house voted 213-212 not to extend the session. The main reason it was brought up was to debate the issue of our nations energy future One vote mattered to keep Congress in session, it voted against that debate. I wonder if that can be pinpointed to a single Representative ...             Developmental Profiles: Pre-birth Through Twelve5 reviews K. Eileen Allen, Lynn R Marotz Delmar Cengage Learning, 2006 book This is an excellent book for Early Childhood Educators. The book is easy to read and it covers before birth to 12 years of age. It has excellent resources.             Profiles in Ethnology1 review Elman Rogers Service Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1978 Excellent intro to anthopology I used this book for an intro anthropology course, and it proved to be very interesting on its own,apart from the class itself. Mr. Service's writing is clear and easily read by those unfamiliar with anthropological terms and such. It is a little old (70s) but is still a really good standard text. Especially intriguing were the chapters on the !Kung bushmen, the Irish Countrymen, and the ...             Profiles in Audacity: Great Decisions and How They Were Made2 reviews Alan Axelrod Sterling, 2007 A Good History-Lite Reader This is a collection of vignettes explaining how some of the most influential decisions in history were arrived at; from Galileo's decision to publicly support Copernicus' solar-centric version of the universe to President Truman's decision to drop the A-Bomb to Bill Gates acquiring the rights to DOS. Though the book does cover events spanning a period from Cleopatra to Flight 93, 70% of the book ...             Profiles in Courage2 reviews John F. Kennedy Pocket Books, 1957 Follow your Compass! I read this book quite a while back and found some great food for thought. One of my primary takeaways was that be careful when judging others motives. Kennedy (or whoever wrote the book) poses a primary question: Which is better...the man who will not compromise at all, or the man who bends but does not break? The argument is that the man who does not compromise may be considered true ...             Crime Profiles: The Anatomy of Dangerous Persons, Places, and Situations Terance D. Miethe, Richard C. McCorkle, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2005 The third edition of this thought-provoking text addresses the following questions about crime: * Who are the offenders and victims? * What are the major motivators of crime? * Are most offenders specialists or generalists? * Are most offenders planners or opportunists? * What are their criminal histories? * How often are co-offenders involved? * What are the common features of dangerous places, times, and situational dynamics? * How ...             Profiles in Folly: History's Worst Decisions and Why They Went Wrong1 review Alan Axelrod Sterling, 2008 Interesting, but biased Many of the chapters are interesting, and I was skipping at first to read the topics that interested me more. As I read about 50% of the book, it became crystal clear that the author is so biased against George W Bush, that it calls into questions his conclusions elsewhere in the book. He even uses a chapter on Buchanan before the Civil War to take a shot at Bush by claiming that historians for ...             Tom Hopkins' Low Profile Selling9 reviews Tom Hopkins Tom Hopkins International, 1994 Low Profile Selling Nobody, but nobody, understands the nuts and bolts of selling like Tom.

University of Texas Press, 2004 From reviews of the first edition: "The color and drama of local politics frequently has obscured the fact that throughout the twentieth century Texans have played a significant role in national politics.
