"Just Like You" is very, very wonderful. It made my heart dance with happiness to see a techer who is down-to-earth and pragmatic and at the same time shares the enlightenment of the great spiritual masters. And the book is a delicious read. Once I started it I couldn't put it down.

In her newest book, Roslyn Moore brings to light the life and teachings of her teacher, Gangaji. In a skillful and graceful way, using interviews, dialogue and some of the letters exchanged between Gangaji and her teacher, Papaji, Roslyn brings forward a life, the life of a woman who professes to be just like you.

So it is. There is a story, yes. And to read it is to walk in memory with one's own story, one's own seeking. This offering, however, differs from other spiritual biographies. It is simplicity itself. In an utterly straightforward way the reader receives--both in words and through awareness--the ultimate question and its answer:

"The truth of who you are, right now, is already free. The truth of who you are is already at peace. The truth of who you are, at this moment, is already in bliss, in fulfillment. There is no need to search for anything, because you already are everything you are looking for. It is only the distraction of mind that keeps you from recognizing it.

Is Just Like You, only of interest to those on the quest for
realization? This reader doesn't think so. It is the heartfelt story of a western woman of our time who arrived in San Francisco looking for happiness. Hers is a tale of adventure, of doors opening and doors closing as life's opportunities reveal themselves.

It is a woman's story, full of the trials of a woman who joined
the counterculture in the seventies. And it is also filled with the insights and realizations of a woman who, in 1990, was directed to give spiritual teachings. At its heart is the revelation of universal beingness. Gangaji speaks the truth from her direct experience. She lives that truth. That makes this autobiography a treasure.

This book is a wonderful source about Keiko and other orcas!

This is a whale of a story!

Although written for juveniles, "Keiko's Story" will appeal to readers of all ages. Author Linda Moore Kurth not only tells the story of Keiko's journey from a small pool in Mexico City to his current home in Iceland, but also provides a wealth of information about both Keiko and his orca roots.

"Keiko's Story" begins with crowds of Mexican children waving good-bye on January 6, 1996, as he begins his trip to the airport for the flight to his new interim home in Newport, Oregon.

Linda Moore Kurth spent three years researching this story, and she herself followed Keiko on his final flight to his current home in Iceland. As a consequence, we meet people like Karla Corral and Renata Fernandez Karla who came to love Keiko during the five years they worked with him in Mexico City and Trainers Jeff Foster, Peter Noah, and Brian O'Neal who were waiting for him to arrive at his newest home in Klettsvik Bay, Iceland, on September 10, 1998.

Sandwiched between the story of Keiko's journeys is a myriad of fascinating detail about orcas and the logistics involved in ecological enterprises of this magnitude. Included are photographs, diagrams, and statistics describing Keiko and his homes in Mexico, Oregon, and Iceland.

Keiko's story is a continuing saga which will go on into the forseeable future. This invaluable book will continue to provide a reference and compass point to all who have been and continue to be enchanted after first seeing Keiko as he leapt across the big screen in Free Willy. It also contains a Glossary, Suggested Reading, Videos, and Web Sites of interest to Keiko fans everywhere.

This may not be a topic for your Victorian grandmother, but anyone who says this isn't a good book has an agenda. Cezanne Martin is a fascinating character with a troubled past, who finally achieves her goal to become a prosecutor. Instead of bailing out of the police department in favor of a job at the DA's Office, she sticks around in a selfless effort try to clear her police partner when he's accused of murder. Very nice twists. Would also recommend Moore's other book, CONSTABLE'S RUN, which is a good-time read from start to finish.

Laurie Moore is giving Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich a run for their money! Cezanne' is a great character with a riveting back story. I cannot wait until the next book in the series is out.

Even five stars isn't enough for this book! Besides, Larryboy's archenemy is Emperor Napoleon of Crime and Other Bad Stuff!

I gave this book to my first grade son on a recent trip. He sat engrossed for the entire 5 hour flight - this is the first book he has read cover to cover.

I am an user of latex on linux for sometime now. The possibillities are uncountable with this excellent software. This book touches on the use of tex and latex for the web. Being not that experienced with all the possibillities this book is very usefull. It is a good introduction for converting latex and tex files to documents for the web. If you can grasp all the stuff in this book you will be able to easily prepare all kinds of documents for the web and in the end save a lot of time lost with programming html yourself.
Don't expect to much examples and user details, it has an excellent index and reference list to get you started.
There is a lot of math stuff in this book, so trying to get a lot of formula's on the web this will certainly be of help. I am not into math so a couple pages could be skipped.
Concluding: want to get started with latex and the web, want to make good documents for the web on a fast and good way, this is the book for you.

I have found this book almost as useful and interesting as the LaTeX Companion. I think that it gives enough information about sharing TeX and LaTeX texts on the web, but the chapters covering pdfTeX and SGML/XML applications could be more detailed.
I have found that there is another big problem - with every day coming the information tends to get older and older. I can fully recommend buying this book today, but I am not sure if I would do it once more after half a year has passed.

If you were interested in transforming TeX into PDF, I would recommend also the LaTeX Graphics Companion, or some other book introducing the problematic of PostScript and PDF.

Exactly what I was looking for, tons of pictures with techniques and ideas for painting furniture and decorating every room of the house.

i could not see the book, i wish is good enoug

Geoffrey Moore's latest book should be required reading for all executives in the age of the Internet. Rather than filling out a theoretically weak book with numerous examples, or building a detailed theory which cannot be applied, Moore has produced a brilliant work of practical business theory. Drawing on and extending his work in Crossing the Chasm, Inside the Tornado, and The Gorilla Game, Moore looks at various stages in the development of businesses, how to manage for shareholder value, how to create and sustain competitive advantage, and how companies with diverse cultures can effectively overcome the innovator's dilemma. Any executive feeling threatened by the Internet, or wishing to take full advantage of discontinuous innovations, should read this book.

"Living on the Fault Line" is like a diorama of a new battlefield. Reading this book, like studying the scale model, should give the experienced leader new perspectives on which troops to deploy and where they should go. It is a tool to show the terrain, the high points and ambush risks that armies face. This market is not lacking in people who can act, and this book shows them where to focus their efforts in a usable, timely and concentrated way.

he title comes from the mother who urged: "Son, be careful; fly low and slow." Low and slow is where a pilot doesn't want to be, but it's where a U.S. Army Artillery spotter had to spend his time. Moore is quick to point out that the hazards of flying 800 feet above the Philippines paled in comparison to combat on the ground: war is hell, but his war was "more funky than demonic."

Moore once had a dogfight with a Zero: two cannon and two machineguns vs. a Piper Cub armed only with a carbine. As long as the planes were closely entwined, Moore had the upper hand, since he could turn inside the Japanese fighter. Then the Zero moved off, setting up for a fast attack that the 65 hp Cub couldn't have dodged. Moore dove for home, and he and his rear-seat "gunner" were out of the Cub and into a trench before the Zero passed over.

More terrifying, actually, was the time he was sucked into a cloud. Anti-aircraft guns were popping off beneath him, U.S. bombers roaring through the cloud beside, and Moore had to fly IFR with only a compass, tachometer, airspeed indicator, and altimeter. Against all logic, he made it home that time as well. Still, as his commander warned him, the odds didn't favor a liaison pilot: "All you have to do is fly one of these things long enough, and it will get you."

When Moore doesn't remember the details, he says so. The effect is like a favorite uncle, yarning to his nephews about a 55-year-old adventure so extraordinary that he still can't quite believe that he took part in it. A delightful book.

Dare I say "enchanting" about a war memoir? Honest, Don Moore has accomplished that feat. Nearly 50 years on, he wrote this yarn about his service, flying a Piper Cub L-4 500 feet above Japanese lines, as a spotter for American artillery. His only armament was a Colt forty-five and sometimes an M-1 carbine in the hands of his backseat passenger. He had a dogfight with a Zero (no damage done on either side) and a harrowing flight through the clouds without IFR instruments, while Japanese ack-ack shells exploded around him and fast American bombers dashed through the soup beside him. There's a great chapter also about the Brodie Device, which enabled a Cub to fly off a landing craft, running along a wire suspended to one side--and even to "land" again on the same wire. First class.

Maggie ran from her fiance in sinking Creek, she went with her friend Jake Login, and found herself taken by a Seneca tribe, now you ask will she servive? What will happen to Jake? Will it be a piece of cake? of course there is another book but just to be sure take a look. I love this book it's fun to read, yes I think it's neat in deed!

I read this book for the first time after the author gave an assembly at our school. He kindly donated a copy of this work to our library. It's the second book in a trilogy, the first being The Bread Sister from Sinking Creek, also a wonderful book.

Maggie Among Seneca tells the tale of Maggie who is desprately tring to find her way to her aunt after the last members of her immeadite family sicken and die. On her journey to locate her, Maggie and her party are captured by a band of Indians and taken to their camp. She is able to befriend a girl who had been taken captive by the same tribe several years before, and who kindly explains everything that goes on for the bewildered Maggie. When she learns to fit in, she meets with both love and heartache, but ultimately still dreams of finding her family.

Robin Moore tells the story very well, in a manner which had me wishing that I had not read it, so I could read it all over again for the first time. Many of my freinds who I coaxed to read this book have the very same opinon, and we are all looking forward to the third book in the trilogy.

The matchmaking festival is over, but the matchmakers have a special request to fill before the holidays. Georgianna Moore, age eight, believes she and her mother Maggie need a new house and a new daddy. She's picked Gabe O'Connor to fill the bill, but Gabe and her mother haven't spoken in four years, following a devastating scandal that rocked both their lives.

So far the Bliss matchmakers have been highly successful in their efforts, as demonstrated in A WIFE FOR OWEN CHASE and A BRIDE FOR CALDER BROWN, but this is their greatest challenge yet. In the meantime, Louisa Bliss discovers that romance is not limited to age, despite her sister's disbelief.

Kristine Rolofson presents a delightful romp in A MAN FOR MAGGIE MOORE. With her characteristic wit, Rolofson combines the act of healing with the possibilities of love, to result in a light, pleasant romp that transform cold winter nights into heat. With entrancing characters, a wonderful setting, and the return of favorite characters of previous books, A MAN FOR MAGGIE MOORE is a highly entertaining read. Highly recommended.

Though the Bliss, Montana annual matchmaking festival is successfully over, The Hearts Club has one last request to handle. Eight years old Georgianna Moore wants a new daddy for her and her younger siblings. Precocious Georgianna believes single rancher Gabe O'Connor with a child of his own, is the perfect individual for the job.

After success with finding A WIFE FOR OWEN CHASE and A BRIDE FOR CALDER BROWN, the matchmakers set their sights on pairing Gabe and Georgianna's mom, Maggie. However, this time the Bliss sisters and associates have their work cut out for them in spite of the assistance of the children of their prime targets. For this duet, though clearly attracted to each other, the past looms in the way of the present and definitely the future.

As with the previous two Montana Matchmakers' novels, A MAN FOR MAGGIE MOORE is a very jocular tale. Gabe and Maggie are a likable pair and the interfering geriatric Heart's Club provides amusement and insight into the lead couple. The return of the Chases and Browns add a homecoming feel to the delightful plot. However, with all the humor and romance, the tale is stolen by that apprentice matchmaker Georgianna, whose story fifteen years into the future should be the start of the Montana Matchmakers, The Next Generation.
