6 reviews
Kareem Abdul-jabbar, Alan Steinberg

Harper Paperbacks, 2000

Inspiring and Informative
Simply put, I love this book. I like the fact that it summarizes the lives of so many African Americans including the famous and the still unknown. I highly recommend this book to any reader seeking information about the lives and consequent impact of some of our heroes.

Hitler (2nd Edition) (Profiles in Power Series)

4 reviews
Ian Kershaw

Longman, 2000

Excellent study by the best Hitler biographer
Ian Kershaw is the premier historian on Hitler and Nazi Germany and this book from the Profiles in Power series is an excellent study on the roots, success, and ultimate destruction of the "Fuehrercult." Two schools of thought are used by historians to understand the power of Nazism. "Intentionalists" see the Nazi regime as the embodiment of Hitler as the totalitarian leader. "Structuralists," ...

Just A Thought In Todays 213-212 House Energy Vote July 31 2008
I bought this book and it's a nice read and very historical, of course. I just wanted to put it in context today. 07/31/08 The house voted 213-212 not to extend the session. The main reason it was brought up was to debate the issue of our nations energy future One vote mattered to keep Congress in session, it voted against that debate. I wonder if that can be pinpointed to a single Representative ...

Positive Personality Profiles: Discover Personality Insights to Understand Yourself and Others

8 reviews
Robert A Rohm Ph.D

Personality Insights, 1994

Accepting and Understanding Yourself and Others
There are a myriad of books discussing personality types in all kinds of esoteric ways -- from the Enneagram to Numerology to the Meyer-Briggs typology. All those may be very useful to a professional in the field of psychology or sociology, but for a person who wants simply to get a handle on how to work and play with others, they are far too complex and obscure. The beauty of "Positive ...

High Profile (Jesse Stone)

72 reviews
Robert B. Parker

Berkley, 2008

another ho-hum reading experience, for the most part
I did like the actual mystery in this one, but so many other things made it not a great read. I've been having a problem for a while with the way Jesse and Jen's "relationship" keeps plugging along. I will admit that I typically have problems with those relationships (real, fictional--it doesn't really matter much to me) where the partners are seemingly getting very little of substance out of ...

Great Resource

Markets in Profile: Profiting from the Auction Process (Wiley Trading)

14 reviews
James F. Dalton, Robert Bevan Dalton, ...

Wiley, 2007

Essential
I am a fan of the Dalton (and Jones) Gang. See my review of their other superb work, Mind Over Markets. I am not an author, like some of the reviewers here. I am a trader. We are all aware of the favorable reviews that authors often provide one another, however, these 5 star ratings are legitimate. Rest assured. Simply, Markets in Profile is an essential addition to a trader's ...

Profiles In Courage For Our Time

15 reviews
Caroline Kennedy

Hyperion, 2003

Inspirational
This book is a compilation of short biographies of the winners of the Profile in Courage Award. It is a group effort, being the work of numerous historians and writers. I found these stories inspiring because many of them illuminate political leaders who took actions they knew would be detrimental to their careers. Yes, most of the award winners have been on the liberal side, but personally I ...

Random House, 2008

Those other Pennsylvania Avenue addresses
For those of us of a certain age who remember the Everett Dirksens and Mike Mansfields of Washington in years gone by, John Harwood and Gerald Seib have put together a compact and informative work regarding where at least some of the power rests in Washington these days. With an increase of coverage by the networks and cable of the major players, the co-authors have compiled a list of ...

President Kennedy: Profile of Power

28 reviews
Richard Reeves

Simon & Schuster, 1994

Engaging Perspective on JFK's Presidency
This book is a well-written chronological account of Kennedy's presidency. Minimized is the personal gossip and inuendo while highlighted is the decision-making style of JFK and his entourage as events unfold. You get a sense of what it's like being thrust into the vortex of events for which no president is totally prepared. The writer attempts to reveal President Kennedy as both more and less ...

Profiles in Folly: History's Worst Decisions and Why They Went Wrong

1 review
Alan Axelrod

Sterling, 2008

Interesting, but biased
Many of the chapters are interesting, and I was skipping at first to read the topics that interested me more. As I read about 50% of the book, it became crystal clear that the author is so biased against George W Bush, that it calls into questions his conclusions elsewhere in the book. He even uses a chapter on Buchanan before the Civil War to take a shot at Bush by claiming that historians for ...

Profiles in Audacity: Great Decisions and How They Were Made

2 reviews
Alan Axelrod

Sterling, 2007

A Good History-Lite Reader
This is a collection of vignettes explaining how some of the most influential decisions in history were arrived at; from Galileo's decision to publicly support Copernicus' solar-centric version of the universe to President Truman's decision to drop the A-Bomb to Bill Gates acquiring the rights to DOS. Though the book does cover events spanning a period from Cleopatra to Flight 93, 70% of the book ...

Profiles in Ethnology

Elman Rogers Service

Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1978

Excellent intro to anthopology
I used this book for an intro anthropology course, and it proved to be very interesting on its own,apart from the class itself. Mr. Service's writing is clear and easily read by those unfamiliar with anthropological terms and such. It is a little old (70s) but is still a really good standard text. Especially intriguing were the chapters on the !Kung bushmen, the Irish Countrymen, and the ...

Wiley, 2002

The great book to start day trading
This book can help to to identify the pattern in the market and trade the trend. However, the real time data and the program to give a graphical layout may not be easily obtained.

Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work

2 reviews
David A. Harris

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

Accurate, Eloquent, Searching Look at a U.S. Stain of Shame
This masterpiece of legal scholarship, clearly and eloquently written for the general public (plus police officers, politicians, and lawyers) lays searingly bare the United States's collective shame of the evil practice of racial profiling and stereotyping. The first 3 of the 9 chapters lay the groundwork of the author's thesis via extensive anecdotal evidence, thoroughly supported by direct ...

Profiles in Power: Twentieth-Century Texans in Washington, New Edition (Focus on American History ...

University of Texas Press, 2004

From reviews of the first edition: "The color and drama of local politics frequently has obscured the fact that throughout the twentieth century Texans have played a significant role in national politics. This collection of essays . . . [provides] an impressive introduction to the Texans who have provided national leadership in this century." — Southwestern Historical Quarterly "For both college history instructors and ...
