Firefly Books, 2000

Excellent book for First time Hockey Parents
This is the best book for first time hockey parents. I had no idea how to tape a stick, buy shoulder pads, skates or even that there was such a thing as a neck guard. The book is written by a physician and hockey lover, who knows his stuff. It has given me a lot of confidence when dealing with "more knowledgeable" parents and coaches. It has also helped me make it more fun for my kid. If you ...

Dynamics of Democracy

Peverill Squire, James M. Lindsay, ...

Mcgraw-Hill College, 1996

A Super Reference!
Quite possibly one of the easiest reads dealing with the political sciences. The book offers fundamental principles that are logically and effectively laid out throughout the text. Additionally, the book is very user friendly in that it has supplementary references, i.e., U.S. Constitution, charts, figures/graphs representing key information, and has a fairly comprehensive glossary to help with ...

HighPoint Publishing, Inc, 2006

A book of "soul".
What a wonderful change - a book with "soul" and a great story to share. I found myself asking if I could have adapted to this wonderful adventure as well as Gary and Pam. But I thought I might like to try. Enjoyed this book and each and every word and wanting more.

21st Century Astronomy

3 reviews

W W Norton & Co Inc (Np), 2002

Out of this world
Wonderful explanations. This is the astronomy book I never had as a kid! I'm a biologist and always thought I had the good fortune of working in the most interesting field. It sounds trite, but this book has opened my eyes to a universe out there. Now I even sort of understand black holes and the implications of relativity.

Radical Compassion: Finding Christ in the Heart of the Poor

Gary N. Smith

Loyola Press, 2002

Read the book & then find a way to serve!
Halfway through his book, Jesuit priest Gary Smith describes a 2 a.m. street scene he once witnessed. A couple of guys, both probably drunk, were having a shouting and shoving match. Tempers escalated until one of the two pulled a knife. The other guy shouted: "You can't kill me, motherf***er! I'm already dead!" This haunting scene serves as a metaphor for the book's message. The people ...

Gary Scott Smith

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

A must read for 2007
If you are looking for fresh information about the role of faith and religion in the lives of some of America's greatest presidents then I highly recommend purchasing Faith and the Presidency. The author, Gary Smith has done his homework. His research is very thorough and his style of writing is clear and free of technical jargon. I thought the book presented a balanced view of democrat and ...

Help! I Owe Back Taxes
Gary Smith's book saved me a bundle - not just money but fear and loathing of dealing with past IRS debt - which had been hanging over my head for years! Now I can look forward to clearing remaining debts instead of the absurb possibility of paying off the IRS from a meager Social Security check! The information is fresh and easy to use. I give it 5 stars. - Connie Madden, ...

Gary R Smith seems to have a great knowledge of the Word of GOD and attempting to spread GODS word to his readers. Great Book!

Frugal Gourmet Cooks with Wine

Jeff Smith, Gary Jocobsen

Avon, 1988

A Favorite In My Kitchen
Jeff Smith has always been an influence on my cooking from the first time I saw him on television. I was very excited to get this book many, many years ago and it has been a staple in my kitchen ever since. This is a cookbook focused on using wine in virtually every recipe. That made it dear to my heart right away. The book begins with an introduction where the author considers the properties of ...

Beyond the Game: The Collected Sportswriting of Gary Smith

Gary Smith

Atlantic Monthly Pr, 2000

The Best Sportswriter of the Past 20 Years
Gary Smith is a great writer who happens to write about sports. My only complaint: I wish the collection was twice as long as it is. Whether or not you're a sports fan, you should read this book to get a feel for what a master prose stylist can accomplish. Terrific reading.

Excellent, comprehensive resource on click fraud
Well written document covering many aspects of click fraud. This e-book will be most useful to click fraud experts, tech-savvy advertisers and also to publishers. It discusses many interesting statistics and covers up-to-date material about click fraud, gathered by a well known market research firm. The level is moderately technical. Some aspects of click fraud - such as terrorism funding through ...

Basketball: King of Indiana

Gary, Lee Smith

AuthorHouse, 2005

A journey from early Indiana childhood to Hoosier Hysteria!
In his first book, Gary Lee Smith writes a fascinating memoir of what it was like to grow up in a small Indiana town and be smitten by Hoosier basketball. His amazing memory and obviously well-reserached details of his time in Indiana reveal a nostalgic look back into what is now known as the Golden Era of Indiana basketball. He cleverly ties in the culture of the times and builds up to a vivid ...

The NIV Application Commentary: Hosea, Amos, Micah

Gary V. Smith, Dr. Gary V Smith

Zondervan, 2001

Clear, straightforward, solid exposition.
This is the most practical, easy to understand commentary on these minor prophets available. A must have for your biblical library. I also suggest you get a copy of Dr. Smith's commentary "Amos" and his book "The Prophets as Preachers". Your understanding of the messages from the prophets will be greatly enhanced by a study of Dr. Smith's works.

The Correspondence of Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem, 1932-1940

1 review
Walter Benjamin

Schocken, 1989

The letters of two geniuses
Walter Benjamin and G. Scholem are two of the most important thinkers of this century. And in this book we can listen to their voices and thoughts. In my opinion the most interesting part of the book are the letters related to Franz Kafka. In fact, I think the way they understand and illustrate Kafka is still unsurpassed, and just for that is really worth to read this book.

Ants (Pebble Plus)

1 review
Margaret Hall

Pebble Plus, 2004

Intro to Ants
Very inviting book about ants. Each left page has two easy to read sentences with a lot of open space. For example, "Ants are about the size of a sunflower seed. Ants have six legs." Each right page is a close up of an ant or ants. There is a glossary, short bibliography, index, and publisher updated web links. Karen Woodworth Roman, Children's Science Book Review

They Come Back Singing: Finding God With the Refugees

2 reviews
Gary Smith

Loyola Press, 2008

Deeply Moving and Hugely Interesting
The author, a Jesuit priest, spent about six years working with Sudanese refugees living in Uganda; he was "with them" in every way possible and came to love and be loved by many. The book is a series of rather short vignettes of his experiences and profoundly personal reflections drawn from those experiences. There is no effort in the book to prosyletize or argue religious propositions; but ...

A Practical Guide to Teaching and Assessing the ACGME Core Competencies

Elizabeth A. Rider, Ruth H. Nawotniak, ...

HCPro, Inc., 2007

Invaluable Guide and Resource
As director of a large academic residency program, I have struggled, like my colleagues around the country, to comply with the ACGME's new competency standards, as neither my department nor my institution has the resources or timetable to develop a comprehensive program to adequately teach and evaluate the new core competencies. Rider and her colleagues have superbly addressed this widespread ...

Healing a Wounded World: Economics, Ecology, and Health for a Sustainable Life

1 review
Joseph Wayne Smith, Graham Lyons, ...

Praeger Publishers, 1997

Packed with references, scientific studies, and sound logic!
I hate to see "healing" in a book title. I expect to find a new-age, self-help book of the "win friends, influence people" variety. But ignore the title, this is a serious work! It's packed with references, scientific studies, sound logic, economic enlightenment, and quotes. This is the ultimate doom and gloom book (I think I have read them all). I highly recommend it!
