Review:I started reading this book and after about 40 pages found myself tossing it into the garbage thinking "what a bunch of boloney". Some examples seemed unethical such as saying there was a dent on a refridgerator when there wasn't etc. etc. Examples would start out making sense then slowly deteriorate into the absurd.
Most thoughts seemed to follow other books - there isn't anything new here.
What I read left me with a bad feeling. I want to learn human nature and tips on win-win negotiatio... Read more

Review:Excellent tips for saving money while traveling around the world, somewhat slanted toward the younger traveler. Many of the tips are applicable to any age group, fortunately, but a lot of the advice about lodging and saving money on food seem more useful to the younger crowd, or at least a more agile and adventurous crowd than this early 70's-age reviewer. I'd like to see a companion volume written on the topic for senior citizens! The book is well-written, and clearly Matt has experienced al... Read more

Review:Wonderful! Beautiful! Gorgeous! A must have for anyone teaching about 9/11. I read this to my 10th and 11th graders and most of them loved it (except the ones who think they’re too cool and too old to be read to, no such thing). I would recommend the hardcover. It’s worth the investment. I couldn’t justify it though bc I have the hc packed away in a tote box somewhere in my garage. Read more

Review:Seriously, it's great to finally get a practical guide to combine comedy and business. I take improv classes and see huge benefits (applied to presentations, speeches, and communication in general). Your insights on joke structure and other "insider view" perspectives were extremely helpful. And it didn't hurt that you entertained us with Guatemalan-house-ruining-via-beer-funnels stories sprinkled in. You definitely practice what you preach. Bravo. Read more

Review:Really enjoyed reading this book. Has some interesting stories for some of the plants it covered and makes you realize you better be sure to be careful about gathering plants that you are not familiar with out in the wild. Read more

Review:Our first foray into Humphrey came from the school book fair. My son, who is 10 and likes to read, dove right in to this hampter's daily life as a class pet. I have even found some of the humor well, humorous. After he read the first book in one day, I ordered all the others. He has read them all and is now starting again. I wish that the author would write some more Humphreys! Read more

Review:My little grand-daughter lives on the opposite coast and those 3000 plus miles seem like a million miles at times. I send small packages and cards often to keep "grandma" in her consciousness, ha! This was a perfect fit for our friendship....thanks! Read more

Review:We used these to take to Disney for autographs. Worked out great. Most of the characaters knew what page they were on already. The ones that did not have pages that we saw, we had them sign on the inside covers. Read more

Review:'A fascinating look at the follies of mankind regarding conflict and wars. As I read the book I regretted that Ms. Tuchman was not around to observe the ultimate folly of Iraq and Afghanistan. Following the tragedy of 911 when the powers that be decided that the country needed to go to war in Iraq despite the fact that the real culprits of the attack were located in Afghanistan. This seemed to me to be ultimate folly.

At forest I had a hard time figuring out why Ms. Tuchman chose the th... Read more

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling and especially liked the companion videos available through the Scott Robertson Workshop website. My only complaint with this new release is that the videos can not be played on my laptop like with "H2D", they will only work on my Kindle Fire and it is nice to see the videos on a larger screen. I have tried to contact Scott through his website but have not received a reply as of this writing. When selecting a video for pla... Read more
