University Of Chicago Press, 1995

Excellent Resource
In the book, Style: Toward Clarity and Grace, authors Joseph M. Williams and Gregory C. Colomb provide an effective teaching manual to assist novice writers in turning elementary prose into clear, compelling, and persuasive writing. Instead of offering a tiresome prescription of rules or an overly simplistic how-to list, chapters discuss how to be concise, focussed, and structured in the writing ...

I Can Do This!
For years, I've struggled with poor grammar and other hindrances to good writing--but not anymore. The information taught in this book couldn't have been presented any clearer. If you cringe at the idea of memorizing endless, illogical rules of grammar, then this book is for you. It's logical, direct and very motivating! Now, I fearlessly take on any writing challenge. This review is a ...

Longman, 2006

An Excellent Guide and Workbook
Even a brief browsing of Joseph Williams's STYLE: LESSONS IN CLARITY AND GRACE, ninth edition, would persuade most readers that this book makes the much touted Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" look simplistic. If the seductively slender "Elements"--easily read in a day, no exercises to do--could deliver its claim, by the end of the day there'd be millions of excellent writers. Besides, ...

Longman, 2005

Better than Strunk & White, better than Turabian
The longer version of Joseph Williams "Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace" has been justly praised for many years. But as a director of writing programs at NYU, Princeton, and Yale, I never felt right adopting that text: it was too expensive, and more than the average student needed. This "Basics" Style is the perfect solution. All the brilliance of the longer book at 1/3 the price, "Style" ...

The Power of Israel over the United States
I find it absolutely scary how a little "country" has so much control over our congress and our people here in the U.S.A.Unless we the people wake up and revolt against this foreign powers' control here , we as a nation are doomed to follow in the same path of the Roman Empires' demise.

John Novak

Crystal Clarity Publishers, 2003

A Jewel of a Book!
How to Meditate by John Novak was the one of the first meditation books that I ever bought. Nearly 10 years later, thanks to this great introductory volume, I am still meditating and feeling the lasting benefits! Although the title is somewhat basic sounding (there are lots of books called "How to Meditate" out there) this is THE ONE that is the most focused, practical and profound and one of ...

Clarity Press, 2007

Good Academic Analysis and Thought Provoking
This is the second book that I have read by James Petras- the first was 'The Power of Israel in the United States'. I enjoyed his first book as well as this one. He is quite an academic virtuoso providing a sociological, historical, organizational, and political perspective as to whom controls the world and its money, resources, and, of course, politicians. Mainly, he points the finger at MNC's ...

Practice Routine for the Advanced Guitarist
Being a serious guitarist with a day job, it is always a challenge to make your practice time as valuable and efficient as possible. It was with this in mind that I purchase this book. Warning; this book, like all of the books I have used written by this author, is not for beginners; it is written for the advanced guitarist.

Puran Khan Bair

Three Rivers Press, 1998

The mind is the surface of the heart---the heart is the depth of the mind.
I have read many many "heart" entitled books over the years and it is surprising to me that so few people are aware of this book and the method of meditation that it introduces, especially given its ease and effectiveness. Before I discovered this work, my own heart had attained various states----from serious questioning with Ramana Maharshi and other spiritual quests, to the ecstatic verse of ...

Free Press, 2004

Indispensible
David Aaker might be the Kottler of brand strategy. Brand strategy is not an exact science. Aaker can't change that. But he does give the field a profound and comprehensive set of definitions, that makes the development process of a portfolio strategy a transparent one for al involved.

Applying Practical Spirituality at Work
Most of us spend a third of our adult lives at work, and for many it is not much fun. It becomes something that we do to pay the bills, rather than being a fulfilling activity in which we can be fully engaged. Even for people in the professions that require a lot of thinking, work often becomes a bit of a hindbrain activity that people can do in their sleep. For the last three decades I have ...
