Very Far Away from Anywhere Else

Ursula K. Le Guin

Possibly my favorite book of all time
I first read this novella when I was in high school. I've read it several times since. It's just one I always come back to. The story speaks to everyone who has ever felt excluded or misunderstood and it speaks to the yearning in each of us to find SOMEONE who understands just a little bit. In some ways, this is a romance, but really it's a story of finding a connection in the wide world. And ...

Use This Book To Build the World You Want.
There may be better handbooks for explaining to people how they can build a community, but this is at least the best one I've personally come across. Yes, it has a liberal orientation, but that does not take away its value for more conservative types like myself. Consider the subtitle for a moment: "Finding Support And Connection In A Fragmented World." Today's more technological society is ...

Interesting read with a few great points
This is a book that you'll either love or hate. Timothy has a good writing style, and has plenty of great ideas, however some are quite controversial and I'd expect some people would dismiss them quickly. I didn't agree with all of them (hey, it'd be hard to agree completely to any book), yet they were well presented, and it certainly makes you think about how you spend your life.

Maybe not the intended audience, but this book is great for writers!
Introducing How to Survive Anything, Anywhere (edited by Chris McNab). Self defence, finding food, signalling, extreme weather, first aid, water saftey... This book has everything. I really recommend it for writers who are writing fantasy, action/adventure, or really in any genre that might need some of the skills used in this book. Even if you aren't going to put your characters through ...

A cluster of texts
This book contains many essays. Some are one to two page long observations, others are more personal. The more personal ones are the heart of this book. The essays about his relationship with his father are very good. The longest entry is entitled "The House of the Future". It is roughly thirty pages long and it is beautiful. It is worth buying this book just to read this one essay, which ...
How to Survive Anywhere: A Guide for Urban, Suburban, Rural, And Wilderness Environments

Christopher Nyerges
Stackpole Books

This is a valuable book
There are a great many books on survival in all manner of settings, but I've not seen one that attempts the scope of this one. I found his style straightforward and engaging, and the material very helpful. I can't emphasize enough how much ground this book covers. No single book will be the comprehensive manual for all scenarios, and Nyerges doesn't attempt that. What he does, and well in ...

Mona Simpson
Vintage

excellent
Seems like most of the other posters ought to stick to romance novels. Mona Simpson's first book is packed with rich imagery, irresistible storytelling, and vivid characterizations. In particular, Adele is certainly one of the most appalling mother characters in contemporary fiction. Grandiose, manipulative, and narcissistic, she is a monster for the ages. (Despite what the Amazon blurb says, I ...

Not just a travelogue
Finally someone who really gets it! This book is a must have for anyone doing international business in today's global environment. As the world gets smaller, I have been getting increasingly more intimidated -- no longer!! This book is the foundation for the elements of truly understanding communication across cultural boundaries. And, perhaps even more importantly, it isn't written by some ...

, 2000
Excellent e-learning overview
I am a corporate trainer who seeks to convert much of his highly successful classroom-based training to the Web. This book was EXACTLY what I was looking for and met my very demanding criteria for a 'how-to' book. It succeeds in that it: 1. Takes the reader step by step by step through all of the big-picture considerations (and several subtle but important nuances) one must undertake to ...
You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference

Mark Sanborn
WaterBrook Press

Clear and concise book on Positive impact
I like reading books that have the quality of being an easy read. The power of positive outlook and attitude toward work can not be over estimated. The author does not limit the discussion to the business world, but that is the bulk of the focus. It is easy to become self absorbed in the day to day activities without really considering the impacts of our actions. This book draws attention to ...

To lazy to get started on the calls, but worth the read
Love the book, has so much useful information. Not a get rich quick book, more of a work hard and you can succeed book and that has always been true in my experience. Advanced skills for investors in foreclosures which are only useful if I start to make the calls to friend and family of people that can't pay their mortgages, but I"ll get to it and re-post what I've done with the info.

I've read many books on leadership, but this is definitely the best one for those emerging leaders leading from the middle of organizations. It's insightful and full on great advise as to how to handle almost every situation the middle leader encounters. The self-assessment and companion workbook are invaluable tools for targeting specific areas which need further development or ...

how to travel practically anywhere
This book is comprehensive and very helpful; a book people who travel should have in their libraries. Before I buy books, I usually check them out at the library and purchase only the books which I want to own them for further readings. This is a book well worth owning
