Great for the Price
I've used a number of the games in this book and found they've helped me achieve my goals with the team. They stimulated converstaion and team building. One game I found particularly useful was the "Tie that Binds" in visually demonstrating how interdependent we are as a team. I found this book a real bargain and a good book for getting started at using games within meetings to build teams, ...

Breaking the Ice
The Big Book of Ice Breakers by Edie West is a very informative and fun look at ice breakers and how they are used. I read this book for a class project and to be honest, I'm glad that I did. The book describes in detail an array of ice breakers that can be used in the professional setting. The one downfall that I would have liked to have seen presented in the text is a little bit of a better ...

McGraw-Hill, 1997

Exact what I was looking for!
The book provided me with exact the information and suggestions I was looking for - clear text - clear information - easy to understand games - but level good enough to use for highly qualified adults - I put a few things straight into practice on two presentations - used both times different games and icebreakers - and response from participants on both occasions was great. I bought two books by ...

Serendipity, 1998

Great for new groups
Imagine being forced into a new setting with a group of people you don't know. You're nervous about what people will think of you. Will you do or say something stupid? This book really helps banish these fears, because, in effect, everyone is required to act silly for a few moments. For example, show the group your hidden talent (in our group, people seemed to be very double-jointed)! What does ...

Upbeet, Creative, Fun!
I am a therapist at a child and adolescent day treatment for kids with emotional and behavioral issues. It can be difficult to find activities that seem to motivate and energize the kids. They enjoyed many of the activities in this book. The activities are very hands-on and involve a lot of working together to build things out of all kinds of everyday materials. I highly recommend this book.

The Best Conversations we have ever had!
This game seemed at first like a no-brainer. However!! when you actually play it, the conversations that develop are amazing! We have played with people we have known for years, and also with people we have just met and each time it gets so interesting, without being contrived or set up. There are a variety of ways to play and we have varied them a little. Great fun,the only game you need in your ...

Touch Publications, 2003

Beware - this is a religious book!!!
As a trainer, we purchased this book for our department not realizing all of the religious connotations. We were very disappointed with our purchase and felt that this item should have been clearly marked! Unfortunately it was recommended by Amazon when we were ordering other books for our department and no one thought to look at it more closely, never assuming that a religious book would be ...

John Gardner

Jonathan Cape, 1990

Best post-Fleming Bond book
In this, my favorite James Bond 007 continuation novel Gardner pits his character against a Neo Nazi force inside the Arctic Circle. Intricate plot twists, interesting locations and tense, suspenseful action highlight this novel which also proves to be a fan favorite among a number of people in the 007 fan community. Definately recommended.

From Ice-Breaker to Missile Boat: The Evolution of Israel's Naval Strategy (Contributions in Military Studies)

Moshe Tzalel

Greenwood Press, 2000

this is the foremost history of the Israeli navy
Tzalel has given us an excellent little gem of a book in which he thoughtfully and critically offers a history of the navy of modern Israel. He has availed himself of many sources unavailable to those who cannot read Hebrew, and has conducted several interviews with some rare individuals who have reliable knowledge of Israeli naval history. The book is not the exhaustive treatment one might ...

A Different Point of View
Personally, I found this book to be a great resource and found many of the activities new and refreshing. The ones that seemed more "tried and true" were accompanied by insightful uses for a variety of interpersonal skills. The price is well within the range of other resources of this type. I say, give it a try -- you'll like it. The other books by this author continue to present a host of ...
