People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts 40 reviews
Robert Bolton
Touchstone, 1986
Great people skills book
Although "People Skills" was first published in 1986, I feel obliged to review it as the principles and lessons espoused by Robert Bolton are timeless. In fact it is probably one of the most used books in my collection (I even have the paperback version covered in plastic and it's never far from my desk).
"People Skills" is not a book that one sits down and reads from cover to cover. It's a ...

My Son...My Son: A Guide to Healing After Death, Loss, or Suicide 13 reviews
Iris Bolton
Bolton Press Atlanta, 1983
Out of this came the "Gift"
After the 1977 suicide of her 20 year old musician son, Iris Bolton says, "to climb from that emotional abyss would force me to fight the hardest battle of my life." On top of that, she was faced with the stigma of a "failed parent", and, she felt like a "discredited counselor" as the director of a family therapy center. Suicide transmits a public ridicule and private humiliation, grief, ...

Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century (Metropolitan Museum of Art)16 reviews
Harold Koda, Andrew Bolton, ...
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2006
Delightful dressing
This is a fabulous insight into 18th Century French society. As a costume designer, I found the inclusion of paintings from that period, intermixed with the museum settings to be of particular interest. The close-up photographs of details were also wonderful. The text was fascinating and very enjoyable reading. It's very often tempting to take things out of context according to one's own ...

Lesley Bolton
Sourcebooks, Inc., 2006
Interesting Collection of Names
I recommend this book for anyone searching for a name for a new baby, or even for a story they are writing. The lists (of popular names, according to categories) are especially helpful in narrowing down to the right name.

All Jesus
This book changed me. It taught me to stay away from anything that will hinder my faith and to follow Jesus with all my heart and soul and mind. Even though I'm still in the process of reading it, it changes me every day. Thomas A Kempis is the most devoted person I have encountered and I pray that many more people will be changed by this inspirational book. It taught me to be all about Jesus ...

Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy
It was great to purchase this book through Amazon. It was a gift for my daughter's birthday and it was going to cost $90 in an art bookshop in the city so I was thrilled to purchase it through Amazon at less that half this cost. Keep up the great work guys. I'll definitely use your service again.

Contract Theory5 reviews
Patrick Bolton, Mathias Dewatripont
The MIT Press, 2005
The Best Book on Contract Theory
We used selected parts of a preview version of this book at Carnegie Mellon in Fall 2004. This book is the best - better than Salanie's primer, which I am familar with in depth and also better than Laffont's Theory of Incentives, which I am familar with in parts.
The authors do a brilliant job of synthesizing hard to read Econometrica, JET, AER, QJE, articles down to key insights and ...

Wrox, 2008
Professional SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning from Wrox ROCKS!
I have long been impressed with Steven Wort as a result of his work at Microsoft & his promiscuous, insightful posts on various SQL Server sites. When I learned he was the lead author of "Professional SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning" I could scarcely wait for its publication.
Now that it's been out for a bit I'm shocked to see only two reviews here on Amazon. This book is a worthy read & ...

Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations54 reviews
John Bolton
Threshold Editions, 2007
Just the Right Bull for Just the Right China Shop
We already knew that "one-man-one-vote" makes for messy domestic politics; now John Bolton shows how messy "one-nation-one-vote" is in international politics. Many of us laughed when President Bush appointed John Bolton to be America's ambassador to the United Nations. Our first thought was that he'd be a bull in a china shop. Bolton's book shows us that he was just the right bull, and that ...

S. J. Bolton
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008
A must for your summer reading list!
Fantastic crime writing. Well-executed mystery-thriller in the remote Shetland Islands. Hooked me from page 1. Starts with a mutilated corpse but nothing is derivative about this novel. Bolton's style of writing; Her wonderfully nuanced main character Tora and the circle of loved (or evil?) ones around her. I couldn't put this down and neither will you. Set aside 36 hours for this one!

Adams Media, 2002
A really wonderful resource for novice writers!!!
I have always loved creative writing, and I think that like me, anyone who enjoys writing entertains the thought of writing a book at one point or another. I began thumbing through this at a bookstore one afternoon and was sold on it in about 30 seconds. The authors of this book are realistic - they know that when people sit down and begin to write, the journey begins to look quite daunting and ...

I like Dear Mr. Henshaw because it is funny. Our book, Dear Mr.Henshaw is sad. I think Dear Mr.Henshaw is descriptive. I love Dear Mr. Henshaw because it is sad. I think it is sad because his parents are divorced. Our book is sad because his dad takes other kids for pizza and doesn't his own child for pizza. That is why I think Dear Mr. Henshaw is sad.

SitePoint, 2007
A book to the more experienced ones.
I've bought and already finished to read this book.
I'm a interface developer with a good background into CSS and XHTML; i think that this book was not written to somebody interested into the fundamentals and step-by-step of the CSS.
It's a collection of code-based insights (for each chapter, 2 or 3 progressive explanations) from the authors; it's amazing if you (like me, when i bought it) ...
