Her thigh-cam captures every moment in vivid technicolor and surround-sound. From her vantage point, you get a ...

Titan Books, 2009

Superb "Art of" in the style of the "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" mach II series
There have been plenty of disappointing "Art of" books lately, but this is not one of them. This is right up there with the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy (three "Art of..." books), THE PHAMTOM MENACE, ATTACK OF THE CLONES and REVENGE OF THE SITH art books. Here is a brief list of the attributes that distinguish this volume from less exceptional volumes: 1. Very high quality paper and ...

Excellent reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book is solely from the heart. The author certainly took a lot of time and care to research this book and wrote it with a lot of feeling.

The political cartoonist fled his homeland in 1960, just before Dictator Fidel Castro took over the Cuban papers. Prohias retired from the strip in 1988 and passed away ten years later, but his ...

Bill Harvey

Ourobourus Press, 1998

The most important "self-help" book of the past 20 years...
Yes, I know that's a grandiose statement. I first read Bill Harvey's book about 20 years ago. At the time, I was studying psychology and had read many books on personal development. With the continued growth of the "new-age" movement and particularly, the assimilation of many of these concepts into business management practices, there has since been a literal explosion of books on focusing, ...
