Hollywood Hound is the best book in the whole world. It's about a dog named Duz Shed that becomes a movie star by winning a contest. His owner, Fred Shed, entered him in the contest. Then Duz is captured by Veronica Fudge who has a big mean cat and Duz didn't like her. Fred didn't know that Veronica kidnapped Duz and had to find clues about what happened. The end is very exciting, and I had a hard time putting it away when[my teacher] said our Silent Reading time was over.

Hollywood Hound is the best book in the world. It's about a dog named Duz that becomes a movie star by winning a contest. He got kidnapped by Victoria Crume. I can't wait for the third book to come out.

In this book (the twelfth edition) every economic subject is very well explained without difficult mathemayical concepts. People who like the mathematical approach can find something in the appendix. There are a lot of examples about real facts happened to real companies (Microsoft,...) or organization (OPEC...). The logic approach and the examples are very usefull for a beginner that first of all has to understand the main concepts rather than struggling in a difficult language or math.

The authors have explained all principles with remarkable ease taking numerous to the point examples.

Timothy stone blends the emotions of fear, sex, and the supernatural into prose of origional imagination. Creating worlds dark and sticky, Tim embodies the future of dark peotry. There is a fine line between what he creates with pen and what a painter puts to canvas. Remember the name Stone.

This book surpasses all modern poetry that I've read to date. Mr. Stone truly has a talent for grabbing his readers attention. Even though poetry seems to be a dying art-form. Timothy stone's approach is new and inventive. I look forward to reading more from him, and would suggest others to do the same. Poetry is not dead within the world of Timothy Stone.

I had just finshed Martin Seligman's Learned Optimism and was finally having some success dealing with my depression and anxiety when my wife gave me a copy of Embracing Your Inner Critic. She'd picked the book up a year or two earlier and lost track of it in the "to read" piles. This book really grabbed me. I've never really been comfortable with the various "inner child" labels I come across in therapy, but the term "inner critic" really resonated with me. I was all teed up and ready for this book by the optimism I was discovering within myself and starting to develop thanks to Seligman's book.

I think I wore out a couple of highlighters going through Embracing Your Inner Critic. My first thoughts were "How do these people know ME so well?" but I came to realize that I am not alone. That there are lots of us blaming ourselves in order to "protect" ourselves from outside criticism. I'm learning that beating my imagined critics to the punch by criticising myself sooner and harder than anyone else would is not really helping myself but rather pushing me deeper into the muck of depression.

I realized my inner critic was a pretty good ventroliquist. I had been blaming everyone else for saying all the negative stuff I was actually saying about myself. The book helped me to start moving away from adversarial relationships with my critics, both real and imagined. Now I'm learning to listen to my inner critic as kind of distant early warning system, a helpful "heads up" rather than a broadside of self-loathing. For the first time I'm seeing a world full of potential allies rather than adversaries. The Voice Dialogue technique is a lot like cognitve therapy and like cognitive therapy it requires regular practice for full benefit. But the rewards of the techniques I'm learning from these two books have provided me with strong motivation to stick with it.

If you are suffering from low self esteem, if your days are filled with destructive and incessant attacks from your Inner Critic, read this. It's an easy read that unfolds logically and intuitively - half way through you'll begin to anticipate where the authors are going because what they are saying makes so much sense. This book will open your eyes to the various "voices" we harbor and will help you understand the productive role the Critic was meant to play. It will show you how to get your Critic back on your side, helping you, instead of attacking you and making you feel like your life is a failure.

I just got my copy of Etched In Stone and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful book. It is not the slightest bit morbid but rather a fond look back at those equines who have made an impact on racing. Seeing the graves and reading about (for many) forgotten Thoroughbreds brings these long-ago champions back to life. I hope to some day be able to visit these memorials myself. This is a must have book for the racing or horse fan!

This book, paying tribute to some of our nation's greatest athletes, has been long awaited and greatly overdue! Thoroughbreds, especially those from Kentucky (the horse capitol of the nation) have always been admired by all and this book only makes their legends live on more vivedly. With it's pictures and stories of the headstones and the great athletes that lie beneath, the author takes a vivid look at these magnificent beasts. I cannot wait to explore the graves highlighted!

Judy Stone's book is a wonderful read even if you think you don't recognize all of the director's she interviews. She has a way of interacting with the people she interviews, of getting them to talk about what really matters to them, that is truly remarkable. I can't imagine a film buff or would-be director who wouldn't love this book.

``Eye on the World'' is a ``multipurpose'' work -- for anyone interested in the movies, it's a must-read, but also a splendid collection of interviews that provide insight into life, love and the whole damn thing -- far, far beyond the confines of just one branch of art.

Stone's elegantly simple style and her total focus on the interviewees combine for an outstanding volume that is hard to put down, easy to pick up again and again.

The Fiction Writer's Bible is a very enlighting book involving fresh ideas and concepts on writing. I found it to be written in a down to earth approach which was not only educational but likewise entertaining and extremely interesting. It contains many useful tools to help one develop their own writing style. I recommend this books to all writers and readers as well.

The Fiction Writer's Bible is just full of useful hints in developing your writing skills. I was impressed. I've read a lot of books on writing tools but this one actually helped to improve my thinking and blending process. I think it is a "must read" for beginners as well as experienced writers. It will give anyone who reads it a fresh approch on writing and enhance their writing creativity.

There isn't one single aspect of field collecting and processing minerals that Mr. Sinkankas has neglected in this classic manual. It has inspired generations of enthusiasts, myself included. My favorite feature remains the clear illustrations, including cross-sections of his favorite vug pockets, proper placement of gads, prospecting with ultraviolet light, and the copious photographs of geomorphological indicators. For the absolute beginner and experienced hand alike, this is heady stuff. It's practically a mini-geology course in a book. Mr. Sinkankas' style couldn't be easier to read. If you ever run across his classic Mineralogy, snag it. It'll have you hooked for life.

This is the third edition; the first in 1961 was titled Gemstones and Minerals: How and Where to Find Them, the second in 1970 was titled Prospecting for Gemstones and Minerals, and this third edition is perhaps the most appropriately titled; all editions are very similar with minor changes, and all are excellent.

This clearly written how-to book is written for the layman, with very descriptive text accompanied by diagrams and pictures. Not a guide to localities, nor a descriptive mineralogy (see the author's excellent mineralogy text for that); this tells HOW to collect minerals. Chapters cover field trips, tools and how to use them, rock classes and how to recognize them, how mineral deposits form, field features of mineral deposits (pegmatites, sulfide veins, basalt and diabase sills, alpine vugs, etc.), collecting practices, preparation of specimens (cleaning, trimming, and preservation), storage and exhibit (labelling, cataloging, assembling and arrangement), with useful appendices, bibliography, and index.

I bought an edition years ago and soon found it very useful, particularly the section on Tools and How to Use Them. For field collecting, this book shows you how. -DMM

The First Stone is a brilliantly written suspensful novel focued on a young man and woman who are devoted and dedicated to their cultural, religious, political and romantic belief systems. Together they bond and together they deceive, and continually they grow to learn the differences between the American and Arab world. Are they ever able to accept the reality of each other as their lives become exposed? Once you begin, you won't be able to put this novel down. The First Stone is not easily found in bookstores and if you are able to get your hands on a copy through Amazon DO IT!

John Briley has certainly outdone himself with this suspense novel which is so timely. I was on the edge of my seat at all times while reading this book in record time: One day without stopping! He used an artist's pallette and paintbrush rather than a typewriter to paint the scenery. He certainly did a lot of research in this project. It surpasses his screenplay for "Gandhi" and will make for a great movie. A most timely novel, I recommend it to all readers of good books

Michael Carpo is a young, rising newswriter at WIBN-TV in New York. When he receives a phone call from a man who is found dead and frozen in the Central Park reservoir, he is drawn into the investigation of a murder that takes him from his own East Village neighborhood to the elite art world of Christie's auction house and the Metropolitan Museum, where his college girlfriend may or may not be involved. With FLESH AND STONE, Mark Miano has put a fresh spin on the genre by believably mixing mystery with the medium of television news.

This was a terrific book and a great read. I can't wait to read the further adventures of Michael Carpo. Miano is to be commended
