I am from Thailand and a native Thai.
I read his book; he is my professor.
I am impressed with his idea- the so " socratic idea".
I love his book and everyone should buy it.

The author has researched his subject well, capturing the era of the 1920s as few other writers have. Accurate and brutally honest. My only criticism is that I wish the author would have cut loose with his considerable writing talent. The style is fairly close to the vest but highly readable. Having read hundreds of baseball books, this stands as a classic.

This was a really fun book/game. It consist of several games you can play by spinning the wheel on the book. The book reminded me of a "fortune telling" type game for kids. The answer possibilities were very funny! I played this with my daughter and we had a great time spending time together and laughing! One of the spins said my daughter was going to be the first woman president but her car was going to be a garbage truck! She loves to play with her friends and they always have a good laugh! Great book to get the girls reading and fun at the same time!

I thought this book was great. Iloved the pictures . And I think Kelly is a very cute doll.Iwant to tell you something,I read this book in the shop in record time.I read very fast.I love Barbie very much.

The Autobiography of a gentle English lady who flew many record-breaking flights around the world and over the North Pole in the middle sixties and early seventies. Her 'planes are 'Myth' (modified Tiger Moth), 'Myth Too' (single-engine Piper Comanche) and 'Mythre' (Piper Aztec). She overcomes prejudices and weather, disbelief and mechanical failures. Worthy of joining your bookshelf with Bach and Gann and Dot Lemon,

This volume of a three-volume set has become standard pre-season reading for me. I find that the two-man mechanics taught in this book are excellent for new and veteran umpires. Coverage of the diamond on almost any play that you will see is addressed. Step-by step information, positioning diagrams and proper umpire communication contained in this volume make this a must read for all umpires. I highly recommend this volume to anyone who has an interest in umpiring the wonderful sport of baseball. I also recommend this and both of the other volumes to anyone wishing to run a clinic for umpires.

this book os a well written, easy to follow training guide for first responders. The pictures and easy to read text make it very user-friendly.

PS. In order to update address, I was was forced to give the book a Star rating.

I have already begun to apply the ideas I have learned in communication to solve problems. The ideas, discussions and diagrams found in The Basics of Speech Communication will remain with me forever. In the beginning I was intimidated by the people who I thought were smarter than me. Now I understand that with effective communication skills those barriers won't stand in my way.

The idea of editing a Bataille Reader in 320 pages might sound unthinkable to any French scholars of Bataille. Similar collection has never been appeared in France. The reason for such absence might be due to the complexity of the thought of Bataille and the voluminous nature of his writings. Once a devoted theology student, a libertine, a surrealist dissident, chief organizer for "College de Sociologie", founder of secret society "Acephale" and the most important French revue "Critique", Bataille has always been a figure of respect and controversy.

In the most literal sense, Bataille's writings are personal: the narrations (pornography, poems), philosophical discourses (Inner Experience, On Nietzsche) and interpretations (book review, art criticism) he put forward are originated from his intense desire to appropriate life's meaning/mystery. Interspersed over the pages in present Reader are principal leitmotivs of Bataille: laughter, death, chance, gift, transgressions etc. In these texts we shall never encounter the stiff coldness common to certain analytical philosophers. Bataille uplifts us from solid ground and force us to head for the furthest in our intellectual reserch. Sometimes, if not always, reading Bataille could be an unbearbale experience. Passages from "Madame Edwarda" in this Reader can be served as a test for your tolerance. To me it is the most important theological investigation ever written by Bataille - the prostitute as incarnation of divinity. After reading this text may be you would agree with Sartre in calling Bataille a "New Mystic". This Bataille Reader is indeed an ideal 'book of initiation' to Bataille - the most inspiring French thinker born a hundred and three years ago.

Afterall, I'm happy to place this excellent compendium next to the 12 yellow bricks (the French Gallimard edition of Oeuvres completes looks like bricks) already lying on my shelf.
