History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2 (Chronology) 9 reviews
Anatoly T Fomenko
Delamere Resources LLC, 2005
Prescient St Augustine?
We can so far divide the New Chronology into the following three parts:
a) The verifiable theory that proves consensual chronology wrong with the aid of astronomy, statistics and mathematics;
b) The new chronology hypothesis based on a new understanding of known historical facts and the most likely logical explanation of the most obvious inconsistencies inherent in the official version of ...

Brent Sampson
Outskirts Press, 2007
My book should sell better now.
As an author with a book for sale on Amazon, I had high hopes for this book. My hopes were not dissapointed. When my book was first listed on Amazon, I would get on the page listing it to see if I had moved up the best seller list or not. It occured to me from looking over the Amazon site that there should be things I could do to enhance my book sales but I didn't know where to start. Along ...

Getting into Character: Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn from Actors14 reviews
Wiley, 2002
Combination of Lajos Egri + John Cleaver on Character
This book seemed to be one-half Lajos Egri (The Art of Creative Writing) and one-half John Cleaver (Immediate Fiction). Like both of these authors, Brandilyn Collins explains how to create well-developed, compelling characters that you can let loose in your stories.
All of the author's techniques tie back to Stansislavsky's "Method Acting." Each chapter starts with an analysis of one of ...

Suzette Martinez Standring
Marion Street Press, Inc., 2007
This is a Bible for Procrastinating Writers
As a columnist, it's embarrassing to tell you that I didn't know too much of what Suzette Standring reveals in this light volume. It has so much heavy information tamped down on each page, it's amazing her book doesn't plunge right through the table.
An easy, smiling read the first time; second time, get out your yellow highlighter.
That so many popular writers willingly contributed their ...

Book Proposals That Sell: 21 SECRETS TO SPEED YOUR SUCCESS82 reviews
W. Terry Whalin, Donna Clark Goodrich, ...
Write Now Publications, 2005
A must read before writing
What I like about this book is that fact that it tells you the things you need to know PRIOR to actually writing that non-fiction. I am so glad I bought it because it will save me a lot of time and effort. Now that I read it, I now have a "vision" on how to approach writing that book and weave it into a successful manuscript. It also saves me time surfing the Internet searching for guidance on ...

Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret Millennium 2000 Gold Record Recording26 reviews
Earl Nightingale
Keys Company, Inc., 1999
high energy motivation, based on simple points
The most amazing characteristic of this message is its clarity. I have read hundreds of motivational books, and this might be the shortest and clearest text on the topic of setting goals and living mindfully. A true classic! No wonder that the original LP received a Golden Record award, indicating that over 1 million copies were sold. I highly recommend listening to the CD at least once every ...

Open Secret: Versions of Rumi9 reviews
John Moyne, Coleman Barks
Shambhala, 1999
A must in all collections & a beatiful introduction to Rumi.
The open secret, available to all but few listen. That is the feeling you get when you let these wonderful writings flow over and through you. Some short, some longer, each writing is a treasure. The more you read (or listen if you've been fortunate to get the audio condensed version from this work) the deeper each verse becomes. I've owned the printed copy for years and every read brings new ...

The Secret Language of Tarot7 reviews
Wald Amberstone, Ruth Ann Amberstone
Weiser Books, 2008
A Marvelous New Look at the Tarot
This book stands out sharply from all of the dozens of books in print that look at the symbolism of various Tarot decks. The other books all have one thing in common: they take the cards and dissect them into their various symbols. This remarkable work takes the symbols and integrates them with the cards.
Rather than simply go thought the Major Arcana and say "Oh, look there's a moon under the ...

The Secret Language of Knitters7 reviews
Mary Beth Temple
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2007
Too much fun!
LOVE this book. I had a blast finding out how good my knitting vocabulary already is and learned a bunch of new terms and tricks. Very enjoyable and well written read. I actually bought 2 copies since it's the perfect gift for a knitting buddy too. Love the "Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater!" Always wondered what that meant. Anyone who knits (or crochets for that matter) will relate to this book.

Hatha Yoga: The Hidden Language : Symbols, Secrets, and Metaphor6 reviews
Swami Sivananda Radha
Timeless Books, 1987
Yoga to Reflect On
I thought hatha yoga, the asanas, was about the body. Then I picked up this book and found out that the poses have a much richer purpose than making my body feel good. I tried just standing in the Mountain pose, just standing still going nowhere as Swami Radha suggests. Oh, I thought, that's easy, probably too easy. What does it feel like to stand still? Just standing there. I can do that! Ten ...

Friedrich L. Bauer
Springer, 2002
Superb!
This is an amazing book, and relatively inexpensive; Springer-Verlag has done it again. Rather than being a dry recitation of encryption and cryptanalysis schemes, Bauer provides a great deal of information about what actually goes wrong when one tries to construct a cipher that must be used under pressure by non-cryptologists, with plenty of historical examples to illustrate his points. And he ...

How to Get Your Book Published: Inside Secrets of a Successful Author6 reviews
Robert W. Bly
Roblin Press, 2000
Wonderful book
This is power packed book full of the type of information an embryo writer is looking. One of the biggest questions asked is where do I start? This book addresses that question and much more. It takes a person through the whole process, how to start, sell, and market. There are lists of potential agents, editiors, and publishers. I highly recommend this book to future and current writers. ...

I loved this book and I wish all those high flying ad agency people would read it. What are the thoughts that float through a homemaker's mind as he pushes his cart through the supermarket? You know what yours are, but do you know what his are? Bonnie Goebert says listen, ask the right questions. Don't try to con, talk down to or objectify the consumer because the consumer is us. This is the ...
