you might expect that with this title it w/b educational...think again. with no basis in reality, the pictures depict a saw shaped bug sawing wood or hammering nails! this is ridiculous! why not show a spider building a web or bee making honey? i would have never bought this book had i seen it in a store.

Unlike the reader from Ohio, I knew right away this book was not based upon reality. It was intended to foster a child's imagination which obviously it does wonderfully in my opinion. I know a 4 year old and a 2 year old who can't wait to be read to because of these imaginative books. Despite them not being based on reality they definitely prompt kids younger than me to continue reading.

I'm a big fan of the x-files but I have to say that this book was a big flop! The story seemed to drag and drag and drag. I wouldn't recommend this book.

I just finished "Goblins."

I won't give away anything, but I was dissapointed in Scully's characterization. Bleah. Talk about a bubbleheaded bimbo who's always fussing with her hair?! When does Scully giggle, fuss with her hair and nag Mulder all the time?

The story properly freaked me out, however, and made me wish I hadn't read it right before bed!

While this book does give you information on the philosophy behind reflexology, and perhaps a basic idea of the techniques, I have seen much better books describing reflexology and that contain references to where their information came from.

This book makes a lot of wild claims that are not substantiated with research or documentation of any kind. I embrace the use of integrative medicine, including reflexology, but I despise books like these that blow a lot of "hot air" about what this modality can do without substantiating it with where the information came from.

In addition to all the "hot air," there is misinformation. For example, in chapter 27, there is the heading "How to measure your own blood pressure." Here the author proceeds to tell you how to check your pulse. Obviously the author has personal points of confusion that she passes on to her readers.

Keep looking for a better book.

This is the best book ever written on reflexology, bar none. It is filled with excellent practical advice. There are chapters on the meridians of the body and how they are connected to the hands and feet of a person. The author shows how the different organs and glands are connected to energy points in the hand and how these organs can be healed. There is an excellent chapter on detoxifying the entire body using reflexology. These techniques work very well. A persons health is the most important thing, no doubt about it. This book gives a very easy method to cure disease and it works great. Its a pity that more people do not know about this book and suffer terribly, all without need. They should learn to question things, especially the medical establishment and think for themselves. This book is worth every penny and more. A tremendous health resource.

If you are looking for a detailed, in-depth study of sports marketing, do not buy this book. This is a general book for college students covering the most basic topics on the subject. I would definitely recommend it for students working on their thesys or some sort of paper. If you are a professional seeking for something serious, try another book

I bought this book from Amazon in 1996 and only briefly read some
chapters. At that time I was in Beijing, China, busy as a director of a pro sports team.

Recently I read again this book. It's my fifth year in US and I have a good picture of pro sports. I'm knowledge on basketball marketing, franchise, basketball media,
but know little about baseball and football. This book gives
me a good picture of the two sports. From history to collective
bargaining agreement, the problem happened on basketball also happened to baseball/football.

I recommend this book.

Color is such an important element in Mr. Scharf's work that it's difficult to believe this monograph was published without it. There is not a single color photograph aside from the cover. And the book is so tiny [Dimensions (in inches): 0.26 x 7.85 x 5.28] that color photographs wouldn't do Mr. Scharf's work justice anyway. I recommend that interested parties try to find a copy of one of his out-of-print books at their local library. Mr. Scharf's work is amazing, and well worth viewing in full color, as he intended it to be viewed.

The whimsical paintings of Kenny Scharf could never truly be captured on the pages of some book- but this one comes very close! It's the best I've seen in the genre of Pop Art books and has some very interesting interviews with Kenny. But the artwork speaks for itself!

This book is more of a general overview of the experiences of several engineers rather than an exact how to book. While interesting, the reader may be dissappointed to find that it is not as practically applicable as the title suggests.

I originally bought this book awhile ago to get an idea on what engineering was and what I might expect as an engineer and it was really helpful. Recommended to all future engineers.

I was disappointed. Carter's understanding of justice amounts to nothing more than they (i.e. men) had theirs so we want ours.

Her understanding of liberation does absolutely nothing to further the cause of women because it essentially alienates men; You cannot raise yourself up by putting down others.

These essays amount to nothing more than self-pitying polemics against "patriarchy," but she offers nothing constructive. It is whiny and arcane adolescent fervor.

Carter Heyward's work is a balm of wisdom for anyone hurt or disoriented by the hateful rhetoric of the religious right. In "Staying Power" Heyward provides an example of spirit connected to the realities of living, hardships and sacred over-comings. Through it all there is a sense of calm reassuring groundedness in our connectedness. It is wonderfully nourishing to the soul.

The novel is uselessely ornate. Language translations is pretty bad, the use of some words and concepts is stretched to a breaking point. For a king to be afraid of his own sword is most laughable and the attempts to counter its curse with a red ruby who's fictional story a British boy concotes on the fly is even more so. Unless you are truly bored with life .. and can't find
anything to read .. don't spend the [money] on this book, go to a movie.

This is one of the best historical novels ever written. Strike that, one of the best novels ever written. This man is Tolstoy.

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. It's terrible. Tom Mann tries to tell "Tall Tales" like the old mountain men - but fails miseriably. If he had just stuck to info on how to fish - the book may have been worth ten bucks. This book is not worth ten cents.

This book is the most entertaining book I have read all year. It was co-written by the world's number one seling biography writer, Tom Carter. Carter makes the book flow like a stream that starts out as a trickle and ends up in a roar at the ocean. He is truely one of my favorite co-writers. I have always wanted to know about Tom Mann's life and this book tells the most awesome chronilogical events of Mann's life and how he became the world's number one fisherman. I was in a book store when a lady told me about it. She bought six at one time for father's day gifts. I also heard Tom Mann was coming out with another book on how to fish next year for the beginning fisherman. This book has something for everyone, from how a man became a millionaire to how he raised his family and became a legend at the same time, while showing the genius of this man thru laughter and sorrow. I loved it. I can't wait for his next book.

This book reads too much like a college textbook. If you are doing a research paper for a psychology class, then this book is for you. I found this book's approach oftentimes so overly analytical that it felt impersonal. Also, many of the case studies were difficult to relate to. As a woman, I believe I need to find a book that is written by a FEMALE who knows full well the complexities of a woman's mind and can understand on a certain level. I'm looking for a book that offers me encouragement in a compassionate and meaningful way. This book just didn't do it for me, so I sent it back.

This book which falls into the self-help category is a well written book that is easy to read for most. While the required writing will be helpful to all, those who are well read in this area of anxiety and worry can benefit just from reading. The most helpful things are the case studies in which one can often see one's own life mirrored. Although the authors are Christians the material is not overtly spiritual or preachy and can be read by people of all faiths or no faith at all. I give it four stars for the authors ability to say plainly, without a lot of psychological jargon, what can truly be of help to others. I am purchasing this extra copy as a gift for a friend.
