Human Kinetics Publishers, 2003

This is the real thing
Not for everybody. The average gym member will be lost by all the advanced knowledge. Be warned that it is very technical and the reader should have a background in exercise physiology to fully comprehend it.

Burford Books, 2006

An excellent primer.
The Resistance Band Workout Book advocates workout routines using the resistance band - and reinforces theory with almost a hundred exercises using this accessory. The blend of general workouts and sports-specific, goal-oriented exercises comes with illustrations and makes for an excellent primer. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

Owen Sheers

Faber and Faber, 2008

Poetic & Evocative
From the blurb aback the cover: Imbued with immense imaginative breadth and confidence, Owen Sheers's debut novel unfolds with the pace and intensity of a thriller. A hymn to the glorious landscape of the Welsh border territories and a portrait of a community under siege, Resistance is a first novel of considerable grace and power. The subsequent statement is true. The preceding ...

McGraw-Hill, 2007

no miracles but feeling much better overall
I can't say I've lost 10 pounds in a month or anything like that. I am not completely sure I've lost more than a few pounds over the past few months that I have been using the advice in this book. What I can say, however, is that since starting to eat according to these guidelines, I have been feeling much better. I have more energy and I am happier overall since I've learned to balance ...

And to master your sells closure, that is, being influential, even in the most adversarial situations, here are 10 tenets to follow: 1. Show No Fear This does not mean avoid or deny it.

Path of Least Resistance: Learning to Become the Creative Force in Your Own Life

38 reviews
Robert Fritz

Ballantine Books, 1989

You can create the life experience you desire... if you define it.
Upon first glance you might think that this book is just another typical self-help book, but it is actually much more than that. You might think that what the author discusses, that you need to determine what you want and decide upon the steps is overly simplistic, and you might be oversimplifying it. Fritz is first and foremost and artist. He is a musician and composer and his work deals ...

James C. Scott's Domination and the Arts of Resistance
Spanning the entire globe and covering over 1000 years of human history, James C. Scott's Domination and the Arts of Resistance is an intellectual odyssey into the relatively new field of subaltern studies. It is also an intellectual oasis for historians and general readers of history who have become disillusioned with the traditional historiography of power relations and resistance among ...

Daniel Kalla

Tor Books, 2007

Resistance is terrifying!
This shockingly realistic novel explores what could happen if a deadly new "superbug" was unleashed on an unsuspecting world and was completely resistant to all known antibiotics. And what if its release was intentional? This is the premise for Daniel Kalla's medical thriller Resistance. The author brings together some intelligent, tough and realistic characters in a search for the truth: Dr. ...

Saint Virginia
I've met and photographed scores of memorable and important people in my time, but few hold a candle to Virginia d'Albert-Lake. Her work as an American woman in the French Resistance saving American airmen's lives led to her winning France's highest decoration, the L?gion d'Honneur. But the greatest honor for her was having the love of her husband Phillippe d'Albert-Lake, who was the reason she ...

Resistance, Rebellion, and Death: Essays

Albert Camus

Vintage, 1995

"In the service of truth and the service of freedom."
"I step onto the podium only when forced to by the pressure of circumstances and by my conception of my function as a writer." (p. 132) From the circumstances of Fascist Spain and Nazi occupied France, to the circumstances of the Hungarian and Algerian struggles for freedom, Camus' essays demand involvement, require action in the face of hopelessness. He never offers a moment's peace for ...

The Occupation: War and Resistance in Iraq

13 reviews
Patrick Cockburn

Verso, 2007

Outstanding journalism
This is a really first rate piece of journalism and beautifully written. Cockburn, like very few Western journalists, gets out into life as it truly is for ordinary Iraqis, not as it is portrayed from the Green Zone or sycophantic pro-American exiles that haven't lived in Iraq in decades. It is hard to find a better antidote than this book to the criminal lying of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gates, ...

The Swiss are certainly prepared for anything!
In his landmark book, Total Resistance, the Swiss Army Guide to Guerrila Warfare and Underground Operations, Major Von Dach has certainly expanded my mind and has shown through practical participation how all can resist tryanical invaders, whenever and wherever the forces of tyrany raise their ugly head. Despite the fact that it was writen in 1958 and released in the United States in 1965, the ...

Beyond the Wall of Resistance: Unconventional Strategies that Build Support for Change

Rick Maurer

Bard Press, 1996

best book on change I know
As one who has recently written a book ("Difficult Converstions"), I'm aware that reader reviews sometimes come off as being written by a well-meaing friend or colleague. So I want to be clear that I've never even heard of Rick Maurer. I got his book off Amazon.com, along with about ten other books on corporate change. Mr. Maurer's book is the one I find the most compelling. More than any ...

Rightful Resistance in Rural China (Cambridge Studies in Contentious Politics)

1 review
Kevin J. O'Brien, Lianjiang Li

Cambridge University Press, 2006

Contentious politics in rural China
This short book lays out, conceptually, what kind of contentious politics "Rightful Resistance" is and where in the literature its place should be. Rightful Resistance is somewhere between James Scott's "everyday forms of resistance," on the one hand, and the sustained nature implied in Charles Tilly's notion that social movements are "campaigns." "Unlike rebels in the name of the tsar, ...

J.M. Dillard

Star Trek, 2007

a fine sequel to the "First Contact" movie.
If you liked FIRST CONTACT the movie you'll enjoy this read. The dynamics of the Senior staff of the Enterprise are now very different with Data, Riker, and Troi adsent from the plot. The new Characters are quite different and provide a twist that is very unique to the Enterprise crew.

The Framers: Neither Anarchists nor Statists
As Gordon Wood pointed out in the New York Times, this is a terrific piece of work. It's also an underappreciated piece of work in today's debate over the scope of government. On the one hand we have people like Garry Wills arguing that, since the Framers weren't anarchists, the Constitution supports modern-day Big Government. On the other, we have equally-wacky people on the right arguing ...

Miryam Ehrlich Williamson, R. Paul St. Amand M.D.

Walker & Company, 2001

Right On the Money If Your Problem Is Insulin Resistance
Miryam Williamson's "Blood Sugar Blues" is an excellent book for people who find themselves suffering from a multitude of health problems that are often difficult for mainstream doctors to diagnose. Although insulin resistance is often the culprit, it is frequently overlooked by traditionally trained internists who, when all common blood and other testing comes back normal, don't understand the ...
