Heading Down a New Path
As a young professional who devoted so much time and energy to a career I thought I would love, it was disheartening to realize after 4 years and 2 companies that I hated what I was doing. I had no idea how to figure out what to do next... then I found my guide - my career coach and co-author of this book, Anthony Spadafore. I spent the last few months working with Anthony ...

Boydell Press, 2006

Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a standard reference book combining the related subjects of folklore, myth, legend and romance is long overdue.

These are complimented by a genre-list of material under ...

Nicholas Lore

Fireside, 1998

Tools I wouldn't trade
If you're not experiencing turbulence and dynamic change, you must not be paying attention. The tectonic plates of human endeavor are shifting. As Nick Lore notes in his seminal work, The Pathfinder, we're witnessing an unprecedented explosion of career options and the old ways - serendipity, tradition, dumb luck - of choosing or re-choosing which career might fit are no longer sufficient. ...

Lore of Running

Timothy D. Noakes

Human Kinetics Publishers, 2002

Phenomenal book on running, best I've come across.
I have been reading about running for the past couple of years--probably more than I ought to. I came upon this book recently in the library (most of my reading is online!) and upon poring through its pages have realized that a lot of what I've read either came from this book, or this book has a lot of what I've read in it. Noakes has written this tome relying upon the best science we have for ...

Curious Lore of Precious Stones

George Frederick Kunz

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2003

Classic on Gemstone Lore
I bought this book because Kunz's work has been the basis for much of what we know about ancient gemstone lore. Kunz's lifelong passion for rocks and gemstones began in childhood and as a gemologist and geologist, he was able to collect and organize vast amounts of gemstone lore. He was also a collector of stones, amulets and magical charms, many of which were donated to the American Museum of ...

Richard H. Allen

Dover Publications, 1963

Amazingly Erudite
This book is an unusual, carefully crafted look at an unfortunately little-known subject. Richard Hinkley Allen shares with us his research into the ancient names carried by our stars... He delves into the etymologies of dozens, or more likely hundreds of stars, and also of constellations. The book starts out with two brief sections discussing features of the Zodiac as a whole, then goes into ...

Seafaring Lore and Legend

3 reviews
Peter D. Jeans

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2007

Great Resource
This book has been around my home and to my work for the past few months. I really love both the way it is organized (in short single sitting chapters) and the range of material it covers. It is definitely not an in depth study of every lore and legend out there by any means. But it does not try to sell itself as such - it does offers a great sampling of many upon many stories out there, from ...

Brian Murphy

Simon & Schuster, 2006

Persian Carpets
This is a brilliant read. The author's love of Persian Carpets is infectious. His book is full of colorful anecdotes and sympathetic vignettes about carpets, carpet sellers, bazaaris, caravanserais (which although I had read about them numerous times, I had not before had them described for me so well), of the carpet making of different regions, of the Quiraysh, the tribal regions, Isfahan, ...
