Beyond Work: How Accomplished People Retire Successfully

2 reviews
Bill Roiter

Wiley, 2008

It's not about money --it's about you
This book emphasizes the fact that not since you were very young have you had a chance to think or act on you own behalf. Now you can do what works for you. Using easy-to-grasp illustrations of the focus of our lives during various stages, the author opens up new possibilities for the "new adult" to look at what retirement has to offer. I have recommended this book to several people and each has ...

What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception

Scott McClellan - What Happened
This is a good book. Its not always an easy read (it can be tedious at points) but I'd say it was well worth reading, to get the inside scoop I think Scott is kinder to Bush than he deserves, considering the facts laid out in the recent Bugliosi book The Prosecution of George W Bush For Murder

Meet Me in the Middle: Becoming an Accomplished Middle-Level Teacher

Rick Wormeli

Stenhouse Publishers, 2001

Great book for teachers
I am not a person fond of reading "help" or statistical or "you should do this to have a perfect classroom" books... This book is an exception. It is easy and quick reading. It gives numerous, fun-to-read examples of real experiences, suggestions and ideas. I would definitely recommend this book for middle school teachers that haven't been very long in the field.

Michael A. Stusser

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Terrific
I don't rave about many books, but this is quite simply one of the most ingenious and enjoyable books of recent years. Stusser is a regular contributor to mental_floss magazine, as well as other venues, and that comes through loud and clear here. The book reminded me of Steve Allen's show, "Meeting of Minds," back in the 70s, I think, which was based on the same premise. Different actors would ...

Film Production Technique: Creating the Accomplished Image

Bruce Mamer

Wadsworth Publishing, 2008

Fan-Freakin'-Tastic
I can barely express how far superior this book is to the restof what's out there. I'll try, of course, but first let me tell you how I arrived at this conclusion. I looked through all of the books on Amazon that fell under the category of Cinematography, and then chose about the top 25 rated ones. I went to Inter-Library Loans at my university and requested them all. I got about a dozen. ...

How to Win a Fight with a Conservative

11 reviews
Daniel Kurtzman

Hysteria Publications, 2007

A Really Humorous Book, Just Don't Take it Too Seriously
A friend gave me this book for Christmas this year because she knew how much I enjoyed ranting about politics. While it is not truly a self-help book, and I doubt anyone will win a fight with a conservative by following its directions, it is an enjoyable little diversion that made me laugh. Daniel Kurtzman is a good satirist and his jabs are hilarious. For instance, he divides the conservative ...

Redemption Accomplished and Applied

18 reviews
John Murray

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1984

Must-Read
Murray's REDEMPTION ACCOMPLISHED AND APPLIED is worth its weight in gold. A must-read for a serious study of the biblical soteriology.

Mission Accomplished! Or How We Won the War in Iraq: The Experts Speak

19 reviews
Christopher Cerf, Victor S. Navasky

Simon & Schuster, 2008

A good summary account of the guilty and the stupid.
This book is basically a catalog of speeches and comments given by proponents of the Iraqi War. They are, of course, both dumb and sinister, both naive and manipulative at the same time. Thus they make some very interesting read.

Keynes and the Cambridge Keynesians: A 'Revolution in Economics' to be Accomplished (Federico Caffè Lectures)

1 review
Luigi L. Pasinetti

Cambridge University Press, 2007

3.5 Stars-Interesting but flawed.Pasinetti completely ignores the D-Z analysis in chapters 20 and 21 of the GT
Pasinetti has written an interesting,but flawed(the flaw is Pasinetti's overlooking of Keynes's technical analysis, in chapters 20 and 21, in which Keynes proved mathematically that it is the existence of the speculative demand for money [speculative activity]under conditions of uncertainty that explains the existence of involuntary unemployment.Eliminate uncertainty and speculation and you ...

University of South Carolina Press, 1997

Her letters are full of amazing facts, of both her daily life and the life ...

Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush

50 reviews
Robert Draper

Free Press, 2007

Good book
Wolffe states in his review that "Here is a president who boasts of reading around 100 books a year, promotes reading standards and No Child Left Behind, graduated from Yale and Harvard, and is married to a librarian. Yet he thinks he can't learn lessons by reading. You can almost hear the critics scoff." Perhaps Wolffe needs to learn to comprehend what he's read a bit better. Bush is correct: ...

Mission Accomplished: Wicked Cartoons by America's Most Wanted Political Cartoonist

3 reviews
Khalil Bendib

Interlink Books, 2007

Khalil Bendib is one of a kind
As much as people like to talk about politics, there's nothing like a satyrical comic. One frame, maybe 2 and this image can evoke such responses. I've shown Khalil's work to my family, coworkers and friends. The reactions I got were from pure love and admiration, all the way to confusion and anger. That's how you know someone is doing their job and Khalil does his job in this book. Well.

Warfare Accomplished

Edith Pargeter

Headline Book Publishing, 1991

Immediate, well written volume in a World War II trilogy
Warfare Accomplished is the third volume in a World War II trilogy by Edith Pargeter. It concludes the story begun in The Eighth Champion of Christendom and continued in Reluctant Odyssey. There is an immediacy present in these books which is missing in many war novels. Mrs. Pargeter wrote them during the war and apparently interviewed soldiers in hospital and on troop trains. The story is ...

Mission Not Accomplished: How George Bush Lost the War on Terrorism
William W. Turner

Penmarin Books, 2004

After 9/11, President Bush reassured Americans and the world that he would lead the fight against terror aggressively and unremittingly until Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida were crushed. Since then his actions have fallen short, and he has apparently lost sight of the mission. In his new book, former FBI counterintelligence specialist and CNN analyst William Turner portrays the White House as an administration of broken promises, insufficient ...
