John Carver, Sir Adrian Cadbury

Jossey-Bass, 2001

The rest of John Carver
If you have read John Carver's books and watched his videotaped lectures, you have just begun to scratch the surface. In addition to "Boards That Make A Difference," "Reinventing Your Board," and "A New Vision of Board Leadership," Carver has produced an amazing array of short pieces designed for those who want to use Policy Governance. This book, "On Board Leadership," is a convenient compendium ...

The Mask Carver's Son

Alyson Richman

Bloomsbury USA, 2000

Every Single Page is Stunning
Actually, even every paragraph is stunning. This author, in a dynamic, sensual and sculpted first novel, manages to tell a page-turning story whose every sentence is beautiful. It's a book that should be read slowly and indulgently so that nothing is missed. The story's subject, among others, is art, and the prose almost reads as a series of tiny paintings, so vivid is the language and so ...

The book is excellent. I have given it as a gift to 3 different 12 year old girls and they loved the book. They asked for the next in the series. The concept is innovative, fresh and inspiring. It is about time we give these girls role models and guidence to follow their dreams!

Carver: High Mountain Tragedy
I have to make a confession. This review is about the hardest review I have ever written. Not because CARVER: HIGH MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY was a difficult, or bad book. Because it is everything but that. CARVER: HIGH MOUNTAIN TRAGEDY is filled with just about every human emotion that can be brought forth, from a human being. I will try to cover them all, although right now I honestly don't think I ...

Old Dogs Remembered

Synergistic Publications, 1999

Who can forget?
Old Dogs Remembered is a wonderful collection that reflects on the joy of being owned by a dog and being the object of unquestioning devotion. While it is the collected remembrances and obituaries for famous people's dogs long past, it also focuses the reader on the dogs in our lives now. Our dogs pass away, but we have the power to make sure they are remembered. Take a minute to reflect on ...

Dragon Rigger

Jeffrey A. Carver

Tor Books, 1994

Fantasy/SF at it's best
This is one of the best Fantasy/SF stories up to date. It offers a surely intriguing setup of characters and storylines from the very beginning and keeps up a good pace from start to finish. The leading characters are brilliantly realized and the plot offers a good amount of 'high energy scenes'. Once you're into the story it is UN-putdownable and you'll literally devour the pages. Excellent!

I met Barry at a book signing here in Durango and have been trying to keep myself to just reading one story at a time as you all suggest. They really are good reading.

The Board Member's Playbook: Using Policy Governance to Solve Problems, Make Decisions, and Build a Stronger ...

4 reviews
Miriam Carver, Bill Charney

Jossey-Bass, 2004

Practice Makes Perfect
This is an incredibly useful addition to Carver's Policy Governance Model because it provides practical structure to "rehearsing" common Board-Staff-Owner scenarios with concrete examples. There are hundreds of books on non-profit governance but the vast majority just seem to dabble in detail and pop-psychology (unworkable concepts of "shared governance", etc); but the Carver model provides a ...

Carver Mead, Lynn Conway

Addison-Wesley Pub (Sd), 1979

VLSI Classic
This reference continues the construction of actual integrated circuits introduced in the Feynman reference listed above. Theory behind various parts of a stored program (ie, von Neumann) computer, and its fabrication through VLSI techniques is clearly presented. As well, there are chapters on concurrent computation, for example arrays of processors to perform matrix computations, and the ...

Marion Rodee

Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, 1990

A must have resource for the fetish collector.
When collecting Native American fetish carvings, one important factor in determining a piece's value is the availability of the artist's name. This book provides the only source I've ever seen into the lives and work of modern Zuni carvers. It includes several family trees which show how the particular styles of carving were passed down through families. I have found this book to be a great ...

Nixoncarver (Buzz Books Series)

Mark Maxwell

St. Martin's Press, 1998

NixonCarver
This is a beautiful book. Richard Nixon is an unlikely vehicle for beauty, but Maxwell does it somehow-- his gentle portrait of Raymond Carver no doubt has a lot to do with it. He has created a tragedy that does what tragedies should do-- simply, it makes you feel for another human being. Also interesting in the same vein is Russell Lees' play "Nixon's Nixon"-- between the two of them these ...

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2008

So much more than a Peanut Man
In New York City, the early months of the year are known for two things: Cheek chilling winds of a bitter nature, and assigned biographies of famous people. All around the city children and their parents scramble to find something ANYTHING on their assigned subjects. And in February's Black History Month some familiar names start to crop up. "Harriet Tubman. Do you have ANY Harriet Tubman ...

Ultramarine

Raymond Carver

Random House, 1986

Wonderful book of poetry
Ultramarine by Raymond Carver, a collection of his poetry, is a gem. With each of my moves I find myself discarding all of my books except for this one. This is the one I hold and keep returning to. While Carver is better known for his short stories, I think it's his poems that communicates his silent emotions. The sparse language of Raymond Carver that is so effective in his short stories is ...
