Work Less, Make More is a profoundly useful book. It's filled with strategies for making each working hour a jewel. A core principle is Do What You Do Best -- define your brilliance and build around it. Another one of her strategies has been a lifesaver for me -- divide your life into Focus Days (for just your highest-payoff activities), Support Days (for the chores), and Free Days (for family, friends, hobbies,and relaxation). Work Less, Make More is easy to read , yet challenging and rewarding to put into practice.

I found Jennifer White's book to be excellent. Although she makes the point that "making more" is about a lot more than just money, I found her philosophy very helpful in regards to the way I have been thinking about earning money. Specifically, I'd been using a "work more, make more" mentality. Jennifer's helped me realize that earning more is about exchanging value for money, rather than time for money. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

Jennifer's book is an eye opener to anyone that wants to make a difference in their life. She is witty, challenging, and intelligent. She requests you to think about the things you've been afraid of. She teaches you how to take appropriate risks along your journey of Working Less and Making More. She understands that within each one of us there is a burning desire to have more, do more, and be more in our lives! It's a great read. I highly recommend it to anyone who may be searching for the simple answers to life's big challenges.

This book clearly deserves more than five stars for its brilliant plot, fascinating design, terrific illustrations, and thought-provoking premise. This book will stretch the imagination and thinking of anyone who sees it, no matter of what age or intellect. And the process of doing the thinking will be enormous good fun.

The book starts with a warning. "This book appears to contain a number of stories that do not necessarily occur at the same time." Then you get hints. It might contain more than one story, or it might be four stories, or then again, four parts of one story. "Careful inspection of both words and pictures is recommended." You will be a story detective, not unlike someone trying to solve a crime after the fact.

Each page is divided into four stories, each of which generally takes up one-fourth of the page. They are located in the same position relative to one another so you can keep the story thread you are following straight. Each has a title.

"Seeing Things" is about a boy taking his first train trip alone. After a long, mysterious delay, he arrives at a large station to be greeted by his parents. His mother sympathizes with his difficult journey.

"Problem Parents" relates how perfectly normal, hard-working parents return from commuting to work one night wearing costumes made out of newspapers. Soon, they have their children costumed this way too.

"A Waiting Game" shows a crowd of adults waiting for the commuter train on an outdoor platform. Pretty soon they get bored, and the fun begins.

"Udder Chaos" starts with a cow licking a man in a convict suit, and shows how cattle provide camouflage for themselves and everything around them.

An occasional element from one of the stories crosses over, and shows up in another story. From these tiny steps, you can begin to unravel the tangled plot.

The book earned the Caldecott Medal for the best illustrated children's book in 1991. I think this is outstandingly illustrated, even for a Caldecott winner. The images carry the story much more than the occasional words do. Without the fascinating visual display of the book's concept, there would be no story here that you could unravel.

Upon rereading, you and your child will grasp additional meaning in the images and words. This will give you a lot to talk and think about. As such, you will welcome this over all of the books where you read the same story in the same way, over ... and ... over ... and ... over ... again.

One of the most difficult things for a child to learn is how subjective perception is. I think this book is terrific for making that point, and helping to create an appreciation for clear communication. I suggest that every family with children purchase and regularly read this book.

After you have enjoyed this book many times, I suggest that you think about where else a partial story is presented. For example, you and your child might go to a train station or airport and watch the people. You could make up stories about what you see. Then, I suggest that you go up and interview the people to hear what they think their story is.

Find the harmony, under the muddied surface of subjective, unfocused perception!

I got this book because of the Caldecott award, however, when I read it, I was amazed. I loved the four different stories, and how they were intertwined. It makes you realize; one small incident can impact so much.

I found this book to be good for all ages. I bought the book for my two young children and found out that my oldest at 13 also enjoyed reading the book. He found it interesting trying to figure out of the story all tied together. My youngest also enjoyed putting words of her own into the story because she is not yet able to read. It is a great book for all ages.

Baby's had this book since birth... and after 4 months, it is still one of her favorites. The pictures really grab her attention, and she likes to study them. Also since there are no words, you can make up a new story for the pictures each time if you want!

Granted, my son is only four months old, but this book is a big hit. I'm sure he'll outgrow it eventually, but that's the case with any book! If you have a very little one, this is a great book to start with. My son has only a dozen or so books so far, and out of all of them, this is the one he kicks and coos at the most. I'm attending a baby shower in a couple months and I'm definitely going to throw in a copy of "Black on White" for her.

Black and White is a sweeeeeeeeeeeet game and i mean sweet.It is about u becoming a god and this other god Nemesis Is Determined to be the only god.He wants to destroy all other gods.The rest youll have to buy the game to find out!

Frantz Fanon's work is an excellent insight of how people of color throughout the world have been effected by colonization.

A must read for anyone trying to understand the basics about living in the western world as a person of color.

Fanon's amazing book is one of the landmarks in modern thinking, as far as I am concerned. Fanon says he wants to expose the sickness in order for it to be cured. He exposes the sickness inflicted on Africans by the contact with the colonizing white West in a razor sharp accuracy and courage. Fanon is completely honest, sparing no criticism from the Africans nor the Europeans. He gets help from giant figures like Cesaire and Senghor, and creates an emotionally and intellectually charged masterpiece.

I learned from Fanon about the use of language as a colonialist tool, the terrible affect on African self esteem, the psychological turmoil that erupts as a result of the contact with white society.
It is clear the world is not the same today as it was in the 50's, but Fanon's book is just as relevant.
Quoting from Sartre talking about another book by Fanon: "Have the courage to read this book !".

a tome on the black man in europe, mainly martinique...basically what fanon is saying is : brothas try to be like the other, because they hate them selves and they desire to sleep with the other to give themselves worth and that a bad environment and colonialism makes a black man bad ...reading the book is like reading a long prose poem, thoughtful and stunning...take the chance. it's extremely interesting...

As a professional speaker and writer to parents I applaud and highly recommend this book! Written as a dialogue between parent and child, we hear the innocence of a child and the wisdom of the parent. For each naive question the parent gently shares an applicable scripture in today's language. When I speak on nurturing a child's spiritual development I ALWAYS recommend "Does God Know How to Tie Shoes?" to my audience. Not only can it help parents relate to their child but it can help us adults relate to our loving Heavenly Father. Books that are easy to read were often difficult to write and it's a gift to communicate truth in simple ways. ... I know from experience the research and labor that went into its writing. This knowledge gives me an even greater appreciation for the profound simplicity of "Does God Know How to Tie Shoes?"

Suzanne Paris is on the run. She doesn't care where just so long as it's away from her ex-fiance, Anthony. So she hops on a bus. She's looking out the window when it stops in a small Georgia town called Walton. She reaches for her necklace and reads the inscription on the back. R.Michael Jewelers.Walton. The necklace was a gift from her mother before she was placed in foster care at 14 years old. This could be Suzanne's chance to find out more about her. Suzanne has always been able to hold herself apart from others but the townfolk, and a certain mayor, are making it hard for her to guard her heart. And she'll put their generosity to test when her past mistakes catch up with her.
Suzanne doesn't make the greatest first impression with Mayor Joe Warner. But despite that he helps her find a place to stay. Being a widower for three years, Joe is very put-off by his attraction to Walton's new visitor. Joe's instincts tell him there is more to Suzanne than what she is letting him see. With the re-election coming up, Joe can't jeopardize his chances of winning. His opponent, Charles "Stinky" Harden, is not the most moral of character. Joe knows Stinky has ulterior motives for wanting to be mayor and suspects it's not in the town's best interest. Throw in his six children and that alone should keep him too busy to fall in love, right?
After the Rain is a great book about relationships, choices-right or wrong, and new beginnings. The residents of Walton are wonderful, making the town very three-dimensional. I couldn't wait to see whom Suzanne would meet next. And how they were going to make it harder for her to leave. I finished with the hopes that Karen White has already started writing the next book to take place in Walton.

This book is very emotional and touching. It's a about two people whose hearts and lives are empty and they come together because they both need someone in their lives.
Karen White writes with a light touch so that you feel for both characters and by the end of the book there is no doubt that these two people belong together.

This is the first book I read by Karen White and I hope to see more from her. Her writing style is starkly and humorously descriptive. An example is when one of Joe's children hands Suzanne his toy airplane and "she reacted as though he'd handed her a large insect." Perfect! Wonderful. I can both see and feel that reaction. Just what I want from an author. Good story, not too sappy, not really that predictable, a little non-believable in parts, but an overall good read. I didn't realize this was a sequel and I'm glad I didn't. I like the mystery surrounding Suzanne and Joe.

FIRST CHAPTER OR TWO STARTS OFF SLOW, BUT THIS ENDS UP BEING ONE OF THE BEST/FUNNIEST BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME.

Alaska: Behind Blue Eyes captured and held my attention right from the start. When I read about the young man standing on the hill at the edge of town and looking back one last time, I thought of my own travels away from home. The excitement and anxieties of the journey to a new home, the time of adjustment once you have arrived, making new friends...it's all there. Granted, I've never come face to face with a grizzly, but I felt as though I was the fisherman on the banks while reading that chapter. I stayed up late two nights running because I simply could not put the book down! Fascinating characters, wonderful setting, excellent writing.

Having grown up about 60 miles from Clare and having recently visited Skagway, White's book captured my heart. As I read his book I could "see" Broadway, the towering mountains surrounding Skagway, the cruise ships at the end of the dock, etc. A small town Michigan boy who followed his dreams and shared his experiences will make you laugh, cry and wonder what will happen next. A must read book for anyone who loves the beauty, tranquility and adventures of Alaksa.

The graffiti movement has far too long relied on professional journalists to document its history. It's always the same story with elaborate social theories and catchphrases that those who were there (subway writers)find laughable. Zephyr's book is a tribute to a dear friend, a great artist and is one of the best books to date on graffiti.No art school phonies or gallery fakes in this one. A book by a real graffiti artist about a real graffiti artist.

great pics from sketch to finish. great text intermixed. cover to cover a great book.

If you are an inspiring writer or just interested in graffiti this book is a must. Dondi White is one of the most influential writers, looking at his pieces you will see the source for many styles regarding letter forms and fills. This book is in a word "fresh". Even if New York Flavor isn't you're taste, anyone interested in graffiti should vibe off this. Get it!!!!

The White Separatist Movement in United States: White Power White Pride is a very fair book written by two Left wing feminists who try very hard to keep their feeling of hate and disgust for us out of the book, and they do a very good job.
This is a well researched book. These ladies spent a lot of money and time traveling America to talk to many people in the movement. They did not just rehash some old ADL reports like most reporters do, and the book is proof of their hard work. This is a fresh look at the movement through the eyes of two Left wing Eggheads. To show you how far to the Left they are, in the back of the book they called the super liberal rag The New Republic a right wing publication. I got a real kick out of that.
This is a great book for an overview of the race movement in America. A lot of good info and most of it is correct, at least from their worldview of us.
These ladies interviewed me last summer for a book on Odinism they are planning to write. I don't know what they're going to call it. Also, a man named Mardell is coming out with a book on Asatru called the Gods of Blood. Which will be coming out soon.

It's really refreshing to read a book that doesn't reinforce the stereotype that pro-white groups/individuals are inbred, backwoods, barefoot rednecks that wear stupid costumes.
(...) I couldn't put this book down. (...)

The authors provide an even handed and honest assessment of the pro-white movement in the united states. It is well worth the price and a good read.

The illustrations in this book are top notch -- vivid colors, with excellent detail on the rabbit. There are no backgrounds, but that's okay, because that's not what the book is about. One of the fun things about this book is onomatopoeia: it helps to get the parent involved.

Not suprisingly, a book about colors also has a social message, and in this case it is well done: it doesn't hit you over the head like other children's books. It's also a bit of a surprise because there's no hint of it until the last page.

Overall a fun book to share.

Out of all the books at the day care center I worked at, this by far was the favorite and most requested book of the kids. I don't know why, but whether the unit for the week was colors, animals, or Easter this book had to be read several times during story time and was often read just for fun. Surprisingly, none of we teachers ever tired of reading the book. The copy of the book at the center was read so many times that the back cover literally fell off. The book uses a white rabbit to illustrate how by mixing primary colors, secondary colors are made. Not only that but the book helps introduce children to "sensations" that colors can cause; for example white rabbit thinks dunking in blue will feel cool and that red is sizzling. A wonderful little book.

This is a great book for little ones. It is my baby's favorite book at this time. He is almost 13 months old and I can sit and read him this book over and over again and he is interested each time. He tries to read it himself! It's a cute book with great pictures and not too many words so you can turn the pages quickly keeping your child's interest and still read the whole story. I haven't read the other little rabbit books yet, but intend to get them all.
