My wife and I were looking for a Thomas Moran book with LOTS of reproductions of his pictures. This book appeared to be what we were looking for. I had Amazon find a copy for me and I gave it to my wife as a birthday present. It was perfect. Lots of reproductions. Lots of good information. Well-organized.

This book is the next best thing to seeing a Moran in a Museum. I'm a landscape artist and love his work. The book took me out West where Moran painted and made me feel the experience. A fantastic experience!

This book had a tremendous impact on my personal and political ideology. It had so much impact that I named my first child Sankara! "Thomas Sankara Speaks" is a must read for all aspiring revolutionaries. Brother Sankara, exemplifies the importance of Pan-Africanism as a solution for all people of African descent. He also emphasizes the importance of international solidarity of all oppressed people. "He who loves his own people also loves other people." Thomas Sankara is one of many heroes that suffered from imperialism's bullets. Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr. Patrice Lumumba, Augusto Sandino, Amilcar Cabral, Maurice Bishop and now Thomas Sankara speak from the grave, "Don't Shoot...You Can Not Kill Ideas!"

Study, Understand, Expose The Enemy!

Thomas Sankara was a giant among men, One only needs to read this book to see where Burkina Faso (indeed Africa) could have been today, if only he had been allowed to live. We learn about the man's vision for all aspects of life; children, women, economy, governance and the like. A must read for all Africans and friends of Africa. Mukhtar Dan'Iyan

One of the few books I have re-read in adulthood, having discovered it in late teenagehood. Very good indeed. Its descption of life for a woman seeking independence in Sydney on the post-WW2 period is excellent, as is the exposition of aging, and the bitter-sweetness of an expat returning to a former home. In the scenes in Brisbane suburbia you can almost smell the frangipani and mango trees!

Jessica Anderson deserves a place alongside the equally masterful Alice Munro. Her prose is flawless, compelling, simple and elegant, and it serves a finely crafted story and page-turning plot. I don't know why Anderson is not better known, but I certainly feel lucky that I found her.

Seperated from his father, whose fate he never learned, just before Earth was destroyed by the hostile Drej species, Cale Tucker was raised by one of his father's friends, Tek, a member of a peaceful alien race. Taken to Tek's desolate homeland, he grew up longing for his father's return, and eventually accepting that he'd never see him again. Tek is determined that Cale, now fifteen, learn something of Earth and Humanity, so, along with an orphan alien girl, they begin a journey that takes them throughout the galaxy. This book explained a lot of how Cale became the person he was in the movie - why he resented his father, why he looked down on drifter colonies, etc. I highly reccomend this companion novel to science fiction fans who are looking forward to seeing Titan A. E.

Cale's Story is a rather grand book which extends the reader's knowledge further into the world (or universe) which has been created by the many makers of Titan A.E. There is an element of suspense at several key parts of the book which is sure to get the reader excited! I recommend this book to any science-fiction lover along with the 2 other books written to tie-in with the movie.

Adventurer's tale takes us to peaks To Everest via Antarctica, by Robert M Anderson Reviewed by the Northern Advocate 27 March 1996 In September 1991, Robert Anderson set out to accomplish a world first - solo ascents of each of the world's seven summits, the tallest peak on each of the world's seven continents. This book is the story of that quest. Anderson has an enviable and formidable reputation as a climber. As a youngster he started his career in Colorado and then spread his activities to the European and New Zealand Alps and to the Himalayas. Regrettably, it was necessary to include Mt Kosciusko as the Australian summit because it is the highest peak on that continent - at 2230 metres in altitude, the lowest mountain in the world. That aberration was climbed in appalling weather of ice that nearly defeated his attempt, but when the weather lifted, he made it. As he comments: "To be beaten by Everest is one thing, but to be beaten by Koscuisco is another." For the record, he knocked off Kosciusko in one hour and 23 minutes. Not bad at all for an Everest soloist. His other peaks were Mt Aconcagua (6969 metres) in South America; Mt Kilimanjaro (5894 metres) in Africa; Mt McKinley (6193 metres) in North America; Mt Elbrus (5633 metres) in Europe; Mt Vinson (5140 metres) in Antarctica, and Mt Everest (8048 metres). But the book is much, much more than bare accounts of ascent. It is a travelogue, a modern Peaks and Passes combined, as it were, with the late Frank Smythe's classics of the Himalayas and Tilman's unsurpassed accounts of his journeys. In short, this is an outstanding mountaineering book that compares with the classics of the genre. It can be referred to time and time again with pleasure. If you like the high hills, this book is a "must". The photos are few but good and the cover photo is superb. Reviewed by Ivo Davey

Peak of a climber's career 7 Summits Solo, (Summit, USA) by Robert Mads Anderson To Everest via Antarctica, Robert Mads Anderson Reviewed by Neil Nelson, The Evening Standard, Wellington, New Zealand Saturday, February 24, 1996 Having spent the past 20 years scaling some of the world's most difficult peaks, American-born Aucklander Robert Anderson set himself a new challenge: to climb the highest peak on each of the world's seven continents. As an added challenge, he elected to climb them solo. Ultimately, he failed in his bid, with Everest getting the better of him on two separate occasions. But failure to stand on the top of the world's highest peak doesn't diminish Anderson's achievement or the highly readable accounts he has written of his adventures. As the price tags would suggest, the two books which have resulted from his seven summits project are totally different. 7 Summits Solo is a large-format, lavishly produced, 160-page volume which includes dozens of superb colour photographs taken by Joe Blackburn during the expedition (Note, nearly all photos in the book are Anderson's). Anderson's account of the expedition is essentially a précis of the story he tells in To Everest via Antarctica. The 220 page Penguin book (Stackpole Books, USA) contains just a handful of photographs, but includes a far more detailed account of Anderson's adventures. During the past decade or so, I've read numerous accounts of climbing expeditions: this one rates as one of the best. Unlike some mountaineers, who feel compelled to describe in minute detail everything they did during the expedition, Anderson concentrates more on the adventures he had actually getting to the mountain. He admits it is more of a travel book than a book about climbing and that he wrote it for a broader market. Some chapters have little to do with climbing at all. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in Anderson's descriptions of his travels in Russia, late in 1992, after conquering Mt Elbrus, Europe's highest peak. With Elbrus out of the way, and three weeks left on his Russian visa, Anderson decided the opportunity to see some of Russia was too good an opportunity to miss. With the Russia of old rapidly being split into a series of new countries, and new border crossings appearing at random, it was decided a large bus would be the easiest way of moving around. One was soon found and with several companions Anderson set off for a fascinating tour of parts of Russia which had seldom seen Western tourists. The tales he relates of his journey make for absorbing and humorous reading. With a degree in writing and a career spent mainly in the advertising industry - the business he set up in New Zealand and subsequently sold helped fund his seven summits project - Anderson wastes few words. He has an economical, easy-to-read style and knows how to tell a good story. While the price of 7 Summits Solo means it's unlikely to appear on best-seller lists, To Everest via Antarctica deserves to be. One of the most enjoyable books I read in 1995, I look forward to reading of Anderson's further adventures.

An easy to use and informative guide to your own inner psyche. I was initially suspect, but after five minutes I was sold on this fun, great book. Check it out or buy it for a special lady in your life.

An incredibly fun and easy to use guide to all things relating to your future -- through your palm. I wasn't a believer before, but when I recently received this book as a gift, a whole new world was opened to me. It is very simple to use and extremely insightful into the inclinations of your unconscious. Great gift for a wife or girlfriend.

Lots of fun and useful information. The kids are always asking to play a game or practice one of the techniques found in the book. I have had the book for a year, and there is still so much yet to use! A great tool for finding new and different ways to improve your coaching/training.

The author has put together a lot of different games and ideas for taking the tedium out of distance running. As a coach, I have incorporated many of his ideas into my program.

The book also discusses racing strategy, coping-with-pain techniques, and other mental aspects of the sport.

A great book. I'm buying my 2nd copy because one of my former athletes took my first copy to college with him!

Our seminary has chosen this book as the main textbook in the advanced class on leadership. We have been using this for four years and are very pleased with it. It replaces the older text on Spiritual Leadership by Sanders.

A Book Review from Management Today

A Publication of the Australian Institute of Management July, 1998 Transforming Leadership-Second Edition Authored by Terry D. Anderson, Ph.D.

Boldly re-entering a market presently congested with leadership tomes, this new edition of the definitive executive and management self-development book stands well above the majority. An examination of how leadership development has a truly profound effect on the morale and performance of individuals, teams and organizations, this book has been written both as a text for students and educators, and a reference for managers, consultants, executive coaches and mentors, and aspiring executives. It is perhaps the only book of its kind that provides an overarching model for leadership development; or a guide for developing curriculum that targets-specifically and simultaneously-the means for creating the strongest influence on organizational and personal effectiveness.

The author's innovative conceptual contribution to the literature of leadership is his focus on how it is necessary to build a leadership organization before-and to an extent while-you move ahead into building a "learning organization". In this second edition he tackles this issue squarely with an emphasis on the importance of the role of executive and leader.

Stuart Anderson's Travels With Anne kept me smiling knowingly all the way through.He describes "interesting" people and unpleasant situations most of us have encountered in terms that make both the people and the situation funny, and therefore, bearable. Though most of the text has to do with the people and the unpredictable foibles of travel, the attention given to the actual locations leave you knowing that Anderson was deeply touched by those places--the Serengeti, Arctic, Denali, and more.

It's a lot more fun to endure the trials of someone elses trips than to experience them yourself. Laughing from start to finish makes the stories easy reading. Probably most of us have had our own unfortunate experiences while traveling, but it takes someone with the writing skill of Stuart Anderson to make them so vivid and hilarious. I wonder why anyone would go out of their way to make themselves so uncomfortable. At least I know where not to go on future trips.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I have fibromyalgia and I've really been having a hard time coming to terms with what that means to me. This book put my whole life into perspective. This is a must read for anyone with health problems as well as anyone who wants to live a more fulfilling life.

Unfortunately I've had reason to buy several copies of thisbook because I've had several friends who needed it. Seven yearsafter it helped me understand the process of dealing with my own life-threatening illness it remains one of only two books I keep on my nightstand for easy, regular reference. The words of this book teach you to accept what is happening to your body while simultaneously learning how to fight effectively against the disease and, ultimately, to value the life you lead, whatever its duration. Inspirational, powerful, thought-provoking and, exceptional!
