The book is a great suppliment. It not only gives critical reviews / essays, but it has features such as "1960's Witch hunts" and "1990's Witch hunts." It helps you in undesrstanding the text, however its greatest asset is in helping you in Essay topics and discussion. Great book! Especially if studying Crucible.

mega swanky book yeah

The problem with most self help books is that they can't make you study and apply them. If you were studying say geology, chemistry or sociology, you know that if all you did was just read the text book from cover to cover, you would have little hope of passing any exam. Yet that is what most people do when they want to help themselves.

The "Unfair Advantage" doesn't let you get away with this. You don't read this book, you do it. Have your pen or pencil ready, as you will be filling in a lot of spaces doing the exercises. The diagrams and exercises will unambiguously show you how and where you are doing yourself in. And how to rectify it. And some of those exercises are just plain cunning.

The book is based on the ideas of Albert Ellis's Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (i.e. it's not one of those business hype books, or some New Age spiritual awakening type book - it is legitimate psychology). It tackles problems of depression, anger, rage, inadequacy, embarrassment, anxiety, shyness, inferiority and hurt.

The only thing I didn't like about it was the title - the only "Advantage" is to yourself, and I can't see anything "Unfair" about it. The author states what the working title for the book was, "You're not a sh#t, and I can prove it". This equates with Ellis's ideas e.g. that shyness is a high class term for sh#thood.

I think the working title more accurately reflects the book's content. Perhaps it's time for a new edition, changing only the title of this amazingly well thought out book.

Now understand why MOST self-help books DO NOT work. You read, you feel better -- but, do nothing to change your behavior. Tom unlocks the key to true behavior change. What has been holding you back? Why do you feel guilty, mad, sad? Tired of being manipulated? Tom will open the door to true power of your behavior and why you do what you do -- although you know it may not be the best. Thought provoking, irritating, maddening and incredible describe this book. Order it today.

This book is great and plus you can learn about the stuff they use in space camp. Like The MMU but you will have to read the book to Know what MMU means. I rate this book two paws up.

Visions Book One is an exciting as well as insightful book, considering our current world situation. It is a good and fast read: it keeps you turning the pages.

Four months ago, this book would have been (and probably was) looked at as another non-chalant book about a supposed threat from the Middle-East. However, September 11th changed that viewpoint forever. In today's world of threats from terrorists and biological attacks, K.C. has hauntingly foretold this in his book that is sure to bring chills to the reader in today's world climate!

I bought this book last week and implemented most of the hands-on exercises in the book. The exercises are fun to do and the author's explanations are very clear and organized that made learning VoiceXML very interesting.

Now I feel very comfortable to write a VoiceXML script for my upcoming project. No to mention some typos in the scripts that provides you even better opportunity to learn hands-on.

This book offers a great step-by-step approach. The working VoiceXML sites created in the book provide great, practical knowledge that you can put right to work. And the code-check database was very helpful in detecting where a program might have gone wrong. I would recommend this book for anyone getting started with VoiceXML.

Although the basic shape of the Volkswagen didn't change over the years, many detail changes were made. This book does a good job of documenting them. There isn't much text, but the book if full of detail photos showing the small (and sometimes not-so-small) changes from year to year. If you're restoring your Volkswagen to 100% stock condition, you want to know how to tell a '65 Beetle from a '66, or you just like Volkswagens, this book is a good read.

This is a great book for noting the year-to-year changes in the Bug. Almost every change is photographed and documented so that you can see it. There isn't much in the way of writing, but mainly pictures and explanations of the VW's and the yearly changes, including the various dealer installed options. This is a great book, especialy for identifying what is original or how something is supposed to look.

As a former student of Dr. Miller I dove into this book with great anticipation. When I asked him to sign the book his reply was simple: "Could you identify the Gloria in your life?" My answer was yes.

A must read for every young man.

Three intresting and enlighting accounts for anyone looking into the Christian faith.
Insight that comes from these stories will strenghten the walk of any who will commit the time to read them.

All are well written move quickly and provided quite an enjoyable experiance.

I may be considered a roudy teenager to some and might not be taken seriously when I feel strongly about a subject of my interest, but Warren Miller's SKI FEVER is amazing. Every time I read it,(which is a lot) it sends shivers down my spine. The way the writers describe everything is tremendous. Once I finish the book I have the urge to go skiing even if it is down the snowpacked steps of my deck, I have the "fever". Durring the humid summers I have to suffer through, longing for soft white powder to float down upon me, I daydream about slaming through rapid gates and I pick up his book and I am satisfied. I am satisfied because even though I am not present as the skiers fly down the mountain I feel as if I am. So thank you Mr. Miller, Thank You.

Warren Miller's Ski Fever is a wonderful addition to any skier's library, not to mention a film guru's library. This book tells the tale of skiing's presence in family, sports, and in the heart and soul of a skier of any ability. Alike all of Miller's other works, the brillant action photography places the reader in a plesent state of euphoria.

I am a young aspiring poet, I read any poetry I can get my hands on and when my mother gave me this book, I started reading it and haven't stopped yet. Robin Chapman captures you with her words and you can devour each one after the other like delicious chocolates. I urge you to read each and everyone of her books you will not be dissapointed. She inspires me to write. And She will inspire you to live.

This is the last line of Chapman's poem entitled "Again" and it truly speaks to the entire book. Robin Chapman knows how to make language sing, whether she's writing about the politics of Barbie dolls or how we move through the natural world as in "That Day Gone to Ground Water". The best of these poems are beautifully told tales with straight-forward images that speak to us all. One beautiful example of this is "Games at Dusk".

When I read the last poem--"Afterward"--which Chapman wrote for her mother, I wanted to keep on reading! By sharing her life with us--for example, in the poem called "What We Learned", about the dissolution of her marriage--she starts us thinking about and remembering forgotten or buried parts of our own lives. This book is gentle, funny, and tough all at once. If you like poetry, you will love this book. If you don't know whether or not you like poetry, this is a book accessible enough to convince you that you do. You won't be disappointed.

Miller works through many of the major myths of the self in a very dramatic and convincing way. The journey of self-realization is full of twists and paradoxes and he paints them in vivid detail.

This is literally the finest work ever on a subject as intriguing as a crisis. I read the first few pages and knew i was not going to sleep at ALL that night (or the next day for that matter because it is a pretty hefty book). Kudos to Jerry Miller and his tireless efforts.
