Side by Side Leadership: Achieving Outstanding Results Together 12 reviews
Dr. Dennis A. Romig
Performance Research Press, 2006
Experience speaks
Dennis Romig's consulting experience gives real and personal flavor to this research-based guide for leaders. His examples are interesting and the book is especially readable because he keeps his references to research findings brief and compelling. I was especially interested in his references to Bowen's work on patterns to be watched for in teams and organizations. Romig has written a great ...

COM and CORBA(R) Side by Side: Architectures, Strategies, and Implementations18 reviews
Jason Pritchard
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999
The most important IT book of the decade
This book is quite thin, and yet it includes so much. The open mind towards competing technologies is important, we should all look at facts in an objective way. The book gives an excellent view on COM, CORBA and the differences between them. It also shows programming examples (not in depth) and explains things like "push" technologies very good. I would expect the first book in this subject ...

Dr Edward J Conley
Vitality Press, 2003
Read This Book
A must read for every woman over forty who wants to avoid the dangers of synthetic hormone replacement therapy and get an upper hand on breast cancer prevention. I especially liked all the food lists, and vitamin/supplement information. Thank you Dr. Conley!

Swallowed by a Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing12 reviews
Thomas R. Golden
Golden Healing Pub Llc, 1997
this is an excellent book
I found out about this book from my pastor. He said it would help and it did. The book offers a map of grief. It shows what it is, the path it takes, what makes it worse or better and importantly what we do to get through it. I needed a map and I got it. The best thing about this book was that it affirmed the actions that I have been taking after the death and showed me, as a man, how that ...

Safe by His Side (The Colby Agency, Book 1) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #583)5 reviews
Debra Webb
Harlequin, 2000
A great new author to love!
Wow! I just finished reading Safe by His Side, and can hardly wait for the next Colby Agency book from Harlequin Intrigue by Ms. Webb. I don't have as much time to read as I used to enjoy, so a book has to really grab me from the start--this one definitely did! I loved the tougher than tough hero who has to rediscover his humanity along the way to finding out who inside his government ...

Excellent and so touching!
I recently lost my Golden Angel too, and while I was looking for a book to help
Me cope with my pain, I found this book. I am a very busy person and don't
Have much time to read, but this book took me 2 days. It is full of feelings and even humor. No matter what the situation is, our Golden's will manage to put a smile on our face. When you start reading this book, make sure you have a box of ...

Side By Side: A Child/Parent Writing Project4 reviews
Katherine Dowling
Absey & Company, 2003
My Favorite Teacher Gift of All
Of the hundreds of lovely gifts I have received over the course of my teaching career, this one is my very favorite. It is charmingly conversational, insightful and innovative. Any teacher would enjoy the read and find many gems to use right away in the classroom. The literacy project Mrs. Dowling initiated could easily be adapted for any age class. This book is a treasure.

Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance, 2007
Great book
As a west side resident who lives down the street from the conservatory, I have long been curious about the history of the neighborhood, the park, and the conservatory. This book had great information and leads me to want to learn more about the history of the west side.

Empire Kosher Chicken Cookbook: 225 Easy and Elegant Recipes for Poultry and Great Side Dishes6 reviews
Arthur Boehm
Clarkson Potter, 1999
A different kosher cookbook....
This cookbook is great! The recipes in here are a nice change from same, repeated Hungarian-style recipes found in every other kosher cookbook. Although the long lists of ingredients and instructions might seem daunting to some, the recipes are not difficult, and so far, every recipe I've tried from the book has come out well.

From the Other Side of the Century: A New American Poetry 1960-1990 (Sun & Moon Classics)1 review
Sun & Moon Press, 2000
Best anthology of modern American verse
Concentrating on the LANGUAGE poetries developed in the 1970s, this massive anthology is second to none. Not as hard core as Ron Silliman's In the American Tree, it manages to successfully convey the beauty & lyricism of a difficult genre. The book is split into 4 "gatherings". Starting (surprisingly) with the Objectivists (Reznikoff, Rakosi, Niedecker, Zukofsky & Oppen), whom the editor argues ...

From Both Sides Now: The Poetry of the Vietnam War and Its Aftermath2 reviews
Scribner, 1998
an ecletic yet wide-ranging poetry anthology from "both side
Mahony has done what no one before him was able to do--get a "big publisher" in this case Scribners and Simon & Schuster to publish a Vietnam War Poetry Anthology in both a hardcover and paper edition and make it available to a variety of markets. Except for W.D. Ehrhart who got Avon to print an early anthology in l985--which was promptly "dumped" , no American publisher has touched the ...

Letters From Michael - A Communication From the Flip Side2 reviews
co-inspired by Michael J. Gauthier Jr. and Tracy M. Phernetton
Trafford Publishing, 2006
Letters From Micahel; A Communication From the Flip Side
This book is for anyone who wants to know what it like to die! I read this book and I am forever changed. The story is written from the prospective of a young man who committed suicide. After reading this, I feel what it may mean to be "dead". Michael has such a graceful way with his words, and phrases. He clearly is conveying his life on the other side.
It is such a life changing book.

By My Side: Parenting from a Higher Consciousness1 review
Melody Hiatt White
Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2008
What a great book!
What I loved about this book was that it made me think. I was able to use its tips to guide my parenting -- it didn't tell me what to do or what not to do. It just made me realize that all I need to do was be aware of how I was parenting, and that the rest would fall into place. It's simple enough that I find myself reading sections of it over and over again, just for inspiration, guidance and ...

House by the Side of the Road: Stories of 20th Century Farm Life Beside Illinois' Lincoln Highway1 review
L. A. Abbott
Pines Publishing, 2005
Simple stories that touch the heart
Reviewed by Ellen Hogan for Reader Views (3/06)
Mrs. Abbott's book gives us a glimpse at life on the farm from the early 1900's until the late 1980's. The book is based on her memories and stories told to her by other farm families. She tells of traveling salesmen who stopped to peddle their wares. Of people stranded and looking for a place to rest their head and a good meal. It was a kinder, ...

Body and Soul: The Other Side of Illness (Studies in Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts)1 review
Albert Kreinheder
Inner City Books, 1990
Willie's other parent
Of course I rated the book with 5-stars as I was the author's wife and editor. However, the only "editing" I did was to suggest thathe move the chapter, "The Day the Cat Died" to the beginning of the book because of its power, and as it is a metaphor for the rest of the book.
Other things you may want to know about Al and the book:
1. Several years before he died Al asked a psychic if he ...

Anne Stuart, Debra Webb
Harlequin, 2003
Two great reads in one book....
WINTER'S EDGE (Anne Stuart) Molly Winters didn't even know her own name. All she knew was that she awoke in a hospital with no memory of her name, her face, or the husband the nurse said came to the hospital when she was unconcious. When she was taken home to Winter's Edge, a house she seemed to love, it was fraught with tension. Her husband seemed to hate her and was looking foward to having ...

Hamlet: Side by Side1 review
William Shakespeare
Prestwick House, 2003
Great for all readers!
Hamlet is my favorite Shakespearian play to teach, and this side-by-side version is great! I believe it's important for students of all levels to experience Shakespeare's artistry as well as become familiar with the plots, characters, etc. of the plays, and this edition allows both. The full, original text is there when you want to look at the rhythm, the imagery, etc., but the modern translation ...

Paul Watkins (INTRO BY ROY P. BASLER)
COLLIER, 1962
The Quintessential Civil War Memoir of the Confederate Side
"Co. Aytch: A Side Show of the Big Show" by Sam R. Watkins is perhaps the quintessential Civil War memoir certainly of the Confederate side by the enlisted combat soldier. His memoir began as a serialization in his local newspaper some 20 years after the war and he subsequently published the collection as a book describing his duty with the First Tennessee Regiment covering every "battle, ...

Cecil Woolf
Owen, 1967
Relevant voices from some favorite authors.
The Viet Nam war still haunts us, as shown by the popularity of Denis Johnson's recent TREE OF SMOKE.
Interesting voices in this volume include the classic authors Italo Calvino and Bertrand Russell--hard to believe that they were still alive in the 1960s, but here they are. Here also are future Nobel and Pulizer Prize winners, such as Harold Pinter and Doris Lessing.
And I was pleasantly ...
