Signs From Pets In The Afterlife
Signs From Pets In The Afterlife

Review:The info in the book is an amalgamation of information easily found on the web based on basic Native American Indian Symbolism. Other cultures and religious beliefs have some of these symbols and could have easily written the book. Save yourself time and money and just Google the symbol or symbolism you want information. I have recently lost a pet and my mother. I woul dhave really liked to have had some guidance in opening myself up to receive these signs. Very disappointed Read more

2015 International Building Code Commentary - Volume 1
2015 International Building Code Commentary - Volume 1

Review:ICC system of organization & cross referencing seems to be set up so that the authors can prove how obtuse they can make something. I have worked with Building Codes for 40-years and they just seem to get more illogical in organization each issue. Going to multiple locations to try to piece together the requirements for an issue often leads to varying interpretations of the intent to no one's benefit. Read more

Hounded: The Lowdown on Life from Three Dachshunds

Review:There were parts of this book when I laughed till I cried! Maybe because I've been there, done that? At times it seemed to be a little repetitious, though. What brought it all together for me was the introspection and self analysis. While entertaining to the reader, it clearly was a catharsis for the author. How will he follow up? Read more

Horses Never Lie: The Heart of Passive Leadership
Horses Never Lie: The Heart of Passive Leadership

Review:Great lessons to be learned from Mark's anecdotes of his lifelong experience of working with horses. He is not only a great horseman that truly understands animal psychology, but also a gifted writer that captivates his audience with often humorous accounts of lessons he learned through interactions with both horses and people. I can truly relate to his passive style of gaining a horse's confidence, as I acquired a rescue horse that feared everyone and everything, and using a similar approach I ... Read more
