Mover Of Men & Mountains 19 reviews
R.G. Le Tourneau
Moody Publishers, 1967
Fantastic Book!
This was one fantastic book that I could hardly put down. It is a great story of a man with dreams that were larger then life. He always said there are no big jobs, only small machines. Mr. LeTourneau had the capacity to envision larger and larger machines to make man more productive.
This book is 290 pages short with 26 untitled chapters which cover most of Mr. LeTourneau's life. From his ...

The Prime Movers: Traits of the Great Wealth Creators19 reviews
Edwin A. Locke
AMACOM, 2000
Inspiring and Informative
Ed Locke's _The Prime Movers_ is a fairly detailed and empirical analysis of the traits common to great business leaders. Using businessmen (and women) of the past and present as both positive and negative examples throughout, Locke makes an excellent case that traits such as independent vision, a relentlessly active mind, egoistic passion for work, and love of ability in others are essential ...

Addresses of the Rich & Famous: How to Reach the World's Movers and Shakers1 review
Cynthia Mattison
Odyssey Publications, 2002
This Book & Cynthia Mattison are the BEST
I am a handicapped person and I just started collecting autographs via mail. I was using 2 other books at first and had about a 20 to 30 percent return using their addresses and techniques. I started using Cynthia's book and I am now around 70 to 80 percent. I receive 5 to 10 autographs per day and with her technique, I received a lot of photo's and personal notes from the celebrities. The turn ...

A Dozen Ways to Sunday8 reviews
Montel Williams
Mountain Movers, 2001
Montel's Moving Moments!
Life's prevailing propensity for trial and tribulation set stages to examine real life drama. In doing so, there are compelling and compassionate means in which people have persevered to make meaningful differences through the agony of adversity. The aforementioned is a testament to Montel Williams' attempt along with Daniel Paisner to shed insight to a montage wrought with gut wrenching ...

Prime Mover (Royal Fireworks Science Fiction)3 reviews
Bill Coffin
Royal Fireworks Publishing Company, 1996
Perhaps the best Sci. Fi book known to man
Prime Mover is the best piece of science fiction I have ever read. Author Bill Coffin managed to top himself with his sophomore book, Prime Mover. The Prime Mover environment is rich with detailed histories and cultures, complemented with Bill Coffin's ability to present them in such a fashion that the reader will have no trouble imagining them. The plot and characters are equally detailed ...

The Movers: The Heartland Chronicles2 reviews
Nancy Niblack Baxter
Emmis Books, Guild Press of Indiana, 1987
Intimate view of the Scotch-Irish coming to America.
The book interested me initially because it was about McClures written by a McClure. I was quite amazed at how closely it resembled my own McClure family's saga. I would very much like to discuss it with the author if she reads these reviews.

Tap! Tap! Who's There? (Mini Movers)4 reviews
Richard Powell
Treehouse Children's Books Ltd, 2002
One of the best books we own
My kid loves this book, as well as the others, like Bang Bang and Knock Knock. Every mom who has ever come over to visit at my home has noticed their kids go straight for these books and they have all fallen in love with it, so much that they have immediately gone and bought it for their little toddlers. My 20 month old, loves the sliding board books and since we began reading these he has ...

Munch! Munch! Who's There? (Mini Movers)5 reviews
Richard Powell
Treehouse Children's Books Ltd, 2002
Fantastic must have board book!
I just stumbled across this mini-board book for my son and after 2 times of watching me slide the characters in and out of the pages with a finger tip he had it down!! This sturdy book is constructed to withstand lots of reading & use plus the animals all slide very easily. My son spent 20 feverish minutes last night working each and every page over and over!! I'm buying the other two books in ...

Big Movers (Move and Play)1 review
Matt Mitter
Reader's Digest, 2001
Tough, movable parts that little ones can really manipulate!
Our two year-old truck-lover received this book as a gift and it has become a favorite! Unlike other frail books with "movable parts" (pop-ups, pull-tabs, etc.) that tear, this book is tough and can withstand hard play. Each board book page features a construction vehicle made of a raised, heavy board at a worksite with a hinged, moving part (so it's two-dimensional). There is a small finger ...

The People Movers: The Shameful Story of the Foster Care System1 review
Pamela Martin-Makuk
PublishAmerica, 2007
A must read for everyone involved with the foster care system
This book made me cry, made me angry, and made me appreciate the dedication of foster-care parents. If any of the parents are like Mary in the book, they are angels, and not mercenary (as i had previously thought.) They work 24 X 7 for the benefit of the children in their charge, where the system only works for a small fraction of that time.
The book was well written and once I picked it up, I ...

Dirt Movers (Crabapples)1 review
Bobbie Kalman, Petrina Gentile
Crabtree Publishing Company, 1994
Color photos and simple text delight little diggers.
The full color photos and simple text in this book delight the little digger in our family. I like the way the author included a child in some of the photos so that readers can get a feel for how big some of these vehicles are. My son likes the glossary at the end of the book. It has a drawing of every type of vehicle in the book with the name underneath. He can spend hours comparing features ...

Do Frogs Have Fur?: Wild Animals in a Muddle (Maxi Movers)1 review
Richard Powell
Treehouse Children's Books Ltd, 2006
Great Book!
My twins were given this book as a gift when they were around 12 months old. I used to read it to them and they liked it. But now at 16 months they love it and my one little girl brings it to me to read over and over. When you pull the tabs out, it says "No, I am a (whatever animal its supposed to be)". Both of my girls pull it out themselves and say the NO part and then "pretend" they are ...

English Language Learners
School-age beginner English Language Learners like to use this board book as a learning tool. Once it is read a few times, teachers can have students practice rereading it independently. It can be a template for learning to ask questions to express themselves and their thoughts.

Movers and Shapers: Irish Art Since 19601 review
Vera Ryan
Collins Pr, 2004
Offers an invaluable modern art history
The price tag is hefty for a standard-sized paperback, that's because it is an overseas import. But any collection strong in Irish arts will want to accept Vera Ryan's Movers & Shakers: Irish Art Since 1960 into the fold anyway as it offers an invaluable modern art history which ranges from interviews and black and white photos to source documents, using as its foundation interviews with 12 ...

German Heavy Half-Tracked Prime Movers (Schiffer Military/Aviation History)1 review
Reinhard Frank
Schiffer Publishing, 2000
Prime Movers are Heavy Halftracks and this book is full of them!
Starting with a fantastic picture of the entire series lined up from smallest to largest, this book does not disappoint, unless you find yourself wanting more pictures, better pictures and more book. Yes it is too short but buy it for what you get anyway. It is only supposed to be this long so I am only being wishful here but hopefully more will be forthcoming. Not a lot of stats (a few) but some ...

Mission Mover: Beyond Education for Church Leadership1 review
Thomas G. Bandy
Abingdon Press, 2004
Provacative
This book will make you think about the church, about seminaries, about denominations and about call in new and interesting ways. Bandy may overstate his arguments in places, but does so to push the reader to engage and to think which is a good thing. He speaks of the body of Christ (the church or band of pilgrims or whatever) as either the body in residence or the body in motion. The body in ...

Dawnsign Press, 1997
The best cultural experience...
I'm a history buff, and this book is one of my favorites. This is a wonderful opportunity to educate both deaf and hearing individuals about individuals who are deaf. For too long, deaf movers and shakers have disregarded. Even if they were given recognition, there'd be only one line saying: "..and he is hearing impaired." There is more to these individuals. With this book, I am able to ...
