Steven Hassan

Aitan Publishing Company, 2000

Finally, a humane approach...
Steve Hassan knows whereof he speaks, and this book will help anyone looking to rescue a loved one or friend from the grips of the mind control tactics that characterize sects of all kinds. The most important aspect of Hassan's program is respect: respect for what may have sent a person into the clutches of a sect to begin with, and respect for the individual lost in the double-talk miasma of ...

Select Books (NY), 2007

Good Hard Earned Lessons
Mses. Holtzman and Kondek have done an excellent job of describing that marketing is a critical aspect of any business. The books title specifically mentions startups, but the lessons are applicable to all businesses, regardless of size, age, or field of endeavor. I heartily recommend this book. I found stimulating material within the first few pages, which were worth many times the book's ...

Easy to put to use
This was a easy to read and follow book, great for any women. The information is priceless. If followed the results are empowering.

This book helps women to understand and put their finacial help high on the priority list.

Book Report: Helping Aspiring Authors Help Themselves

7 reviews
Mark Shaw

Six Dogs Book Company, 2002

Daunted No More
Book Report is a very useful guide that I turned to again and again while crafting my book proposal. I was impressed by the author's ability to not only cover the nuts and bolts of writing a proposal, but also to succinctly convey what makes a quality proposal. Particularly useful were the parenthetical tips the author inserted throughout samples in the appendix. With Mark Shaw's style and ...

Kate Moses, Camille Peri, 2005

More to motherhood than carpools and sleepless nights
This book has 33 stories written by 33 intelligent women who happen to be mothers. Stories cover the gamut of breaking cultural rules, losing a successful business and starting over, dealing with divorce, moving to a foreign country and leaving your children behind, facing a difficult situation when the kids love the nanny as much as the mother, and other topics that many of us would never dream ...

Robert A. Waters

Cumberland House Publishing, 1998

Great Insight on Our Second Ammendment Rights
The basic premise of this book is: defensive use of firearms is not just for the military and police; it is for every citizen confronted or assaulted by violent criminals violating their personal and property rights. This book contains numerous examples of citizens who used firearms to save their own lives, or the lives of others, before law enforcement arrived. There are also examples of armed ...

The Open-book Experience: Lessons From Over 100 Companies That Have Transformed Themselves

5 reviews
John Case

Basic Books, 1997

"A New Way of Thinking": Macro and Micro Perspectives
I recently re-read Case's Open-Book Management: The Coming Business Revolution (1996) and then this book (1999). Both are even more important now than when originally published. In this volume, Case develops his key ideas in much greater depth while examining more than 100 companies which -- to varying extent -- have implemented open-book principles. Perhaps without intending to, some reviewers ...

Why Do I Have To?: A Book for Children Who Find Themselves Frustrated by Everyday Rules

4 reviews
Laurie Leventhal-Belfer

Jessica Kingsley Pub, 2008

A must buy for the parental toolbox
"This" is `a "book" for children who find themselves frustrated by everyday rules.' This is probably all you need to know about this publication, as well as the fact that it is a great, practical and resourceful read. However, you may wish to know a little more before you make a "purchase." First of all I would note that this book is written for children who `have difficulty coping with the ...

The Accidental Entrepreneur: Practical Wisdom for People Who Never Expected to Work for Themselves

5 reviews
Susan Urquhart-Brown

Career Steps, 2004

Found The Accidental Entrepreneur Extremely Helpful!
Having become an "accidental entrepreneur" myself at the age of 40, I've found Susan's book both helpful and encouraging. Statistics tell us that 80% of new businesses cease operations within the first 5 years, but with this book as a guide, readers are sure to buck that trend! It was well-organized and easy to read. The book is divided into short sections that make it easy to skip around and ...

The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans

4 reviews

Routledge, 1989

You can't say enough nice about this book.....
I'm not one of the sort of people who falls often for heart warming. I'm too bitter, too jaded... too educated to be able to gush openly about kindly regard for many things. This book, though, deserves that kind of praise. As you could gather from the blurbs from magazines, this is a hundred year old book that seeks to illustrate the lives of typical, everyday (not to say uninteresting) ...

This is hands down my favorite book on Autism

It covers everything from diagnosis, medical, children-teens, adults, wills & trusts. It's great for anyone new to Autism. I love it!

Sharon Jaynes

Harvest House Publishers, 2009

Letting go and letting God
Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (3/09) "I'm not good enough... I'm worthless... I'm a failure... If only I were [insert your own bane here... younger, thinner, blonder, cuter, smarter...], I'd be happy..." Does any of that sound familiar? Or more likely, do all of those sound all too familiar to you? Chances are, particularly if you are a woman, that you've said them ...

Clayton E. Cramer

Hollowbrook Pub, 1994

The best legal history of the right to arms in the U.S.
After a short chapter on the European origins of the right to keep and bear arms, Cramer plunges into a detailed analysis of the legal origins of the Second Amendment, and of the treatment of the right to bear arms in state and federal courts over the following 200 years. One of the particularly important contribution made by Cramer is his detailed analysis of gun control cases in the state ...

The Way We See Things: Middle schoolers look at themselves and issues they face everyday

Beisswenger Iffer

Rope Ferry Press, 2004

A Book That Shows Ambition, Maturity and Insight
It is with true admiration and excitement that I write this review of The Way We See Things, by Iffer Beisswenger and Margaret Eldred. Many adults do not possess the insight that they have shown in their book, and I am impressed that two kids as young as they are would embark on such an ambitious goal. As an admissions officer at a boarding school I have been in contact with hundreds of students ...

Congress bickered over weapons now proving themselves in the Gulf (The Heritage Foundation Backgrounder)

5 reviews
Baker Spring

The Heritage Foundation, 1991

This will become a fixture on your nightstand
Mark Girouard, an architectural historian, has traced the roles of form and function in England's Great Houses in this densely illustrated, sensitively written book. Floor-plans, innumerable photographs and drawings (many of homes now destroyed), and portraits pepper the text, which is readability itself. The book follows a chronological path from the Mediaval Household to the present day. ...
