I've benefited from BFL yet recommend SFL even more highly
I've benefited immensely from Bill Phillips' 1999 mega-bestseller, Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength (BFL). It dramatically helped to rekindle my passion for fitness. Using the BFL approach, by combining dreaming; goal-setting; planning; tracking; frequent small meals; weight training and brief but intense aerobic training, I personally completed multiple, 12 week ...

Splendid effort
I've read many books about a sports season that, in a boring way, review game highlights. D'Orso reviews the entire culture, what basketball means in bush country, Alaska, in prose that is wonderful and intelligent.

Inspiring for All
This book should be a must read for all of educators but especially those working with our inner-city youth. It is practically my bible of teaching. There are so many things our students need to succeed and Cartwright meets those basic needs. When basic needs are met and children, parents, and staff feel proud of who they are, many great things can happen. I have been talking about how ...

Narrative of Racial Hatred, and aftermath
Author Michael D'Orson recreates the sordid tale of Rosewood, Florida, a town that was burned to the ground in 1923 by a mob of angry whites seeking to avenge an attack on a white woman. The black residents scattered into the swamps, and the town became a memory. D'Orso recreates this tale of southern racial hatred, interviewing survivors (or their offspring), and describing the efforts of the ...

Joseph I. Lieberman, Michael D'orso

Simon & Schuster, 2001

A Great Look at the Senate and Government Life
Joseph Lieberman, in what came to be known as his campaign book in 2000, eloquently pleads his case, albeit somewhat subliminally, for a prominent political role in the Democratic party and the presidential election of 2000. He may have written it before he was selected to be the vice-presidential nominee but that does not remove the background purpose of this work. Each time Lieberman contends ...

heart-wrenching story of survival
I read this book in one day, and I don't think I'll ever forget the people of or the place Rosewood, FL. The author does an excellent job of using flash backs and the investigation years later to make this an unforgettable book. It never ceases to amaze me on how horrid the history of this country can be. I thought the ending of the book showing the kind of people who live on the site of ...
