It's a well known problem. You search for something on the internet and you'll get results from the most obscure pages that are irrelevant to your topic. So how do you scrap all the searching and get straight to THE BEST web page for you. Well, 'Virgin's guide to the internet' is easily the BEST book out there for finding the best web pages. It's simple and extremely easy to read format along with numerous catagories to choose from makes this book the ONLY thing you'll ever for the intetnet with the possible exception of a modem (but only just!) I strongly recommmend buying this title

This is how Internet guides should be. A nice compact size that doesn't take up loads of desk space, but is still jam-packed full of advice and handy tips.

The book is amusing as well as useful, a rare thing in a computer related book. The author obviously knows what he is talking about when it comes to the Internet, but he also has the gift of being able to convey this information in a way that is neither patronising or boring.

The resources are also very useful, are well laid out and have informative descriptions.

If you travel at all, then spend a little money on this small book that's big on value. Highly recommended!

This is Judy Collins at her best. It is a very personal glimpse into her life. The text appears honest and open. The music on the CD are 11 of her compositions. It is a joy to listen to Judy accompaning Judy! It is her voice and her own piano. My only negative is that a few of the edits within songs are a bit noticeable

Essentially, this book contains the German military theorist and tacticians best writings. Clauswitz, the Prussian Sun Tzu, effectively brought the concept of total war into acceptability. Gone our the days Antonie Henri Jomini's chilvarious code of conduct and honor- Civilians will not only be subject to attack - they'll bear the brunt of the battle in an age of total war. Several points are made- which are crucial to surmising Clausewitzian theory- 1) "War is the continuation of state policy by other means;" 2) "All war is based on the art of deception;" 3) "No one starts war... without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by the war and how he intends to conduct it;" 4) War is "an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will." 5) "If the enemy is thrown off balance, he must not be given time to recover. Blow after blow must be struck in the same direction: the victor, in other words, must strike with all his strength... by daring to win all, will one really defeat the enemy." To me this work is valuable in its historical context- and as an ardent student of military history.

I got this from the Conservative Book Club, which is tied to the Regnery publishing house. Apparently, one of the reasons that this book is pushed by the conservative publishing house Regnery- isn't because conservatives are thought of as warmongerers, but because the this book is so widely disseminated in the Communist Bloc nations. Understanding the strategic theory that so profoundly influences them should wake us up.

Washington's New Poor Law: Welfare "Reform" And The Roads Not Taken, 1935 To The Present is a comprehensive study of the consequences of the "welfare reform" legislation of 1996, which repealed entitlement to welfare, yet was not especially successful in creating an entitlement to work. The new poor law still has major problems with perpetuating poverty. The history of this pivotal 1996 legislation is meticulously traced, as are its modern-day consequences, and a final chapter regards the nature of what real welfare reform should be. A powerful and fascinating work, Washington's New Poor Law is strongly highly recommended reading for anyone with an interest in or responsibility for combating poverty in America.

A little bio: John Collins' British father was a professor at the University of Ghana, where John spent most of his youth and developed his interest in music. At some point John studied medicine (came in helpful the night he had to deliver his nephew), but gave it up to be a musician/recording engineer/and eventually professor of music and the University of Ghana (he also had a bit part in Fela's attempted movie, but that's another story). He still lives at Bokor House outside Accra, and still plays in a band.

Anyway, between being a working musician, a recording engineer, and an archivist, he met/interviewed/worked with virtually everybody who was anybody in West African popular music from early highlife bandleaders like E.T. Mensah to the late Fela Kuti.

The book consists largely of short chapters about individual performers, grouped roughly according to chronology and geography. From this organization, one gets a sense of thematic developments and forces in the musicians' lives, but much of the material is anecdotal, letting the performers speak for themselves. And what anecdotes they are. The chapter on Fela alone is worth the price of the book, though to hear John relate it, he didn't tell half of the story.

the three authors have found an excellent way of trying to put into writing an intense experience in professional drama in west-africa, an experience which is way beyond the western concepts. It communicates in a very lifely way their scholarly preoccupations mixed with their human insights.

Get this book! It is wonderful. It starts out a little scary, as the little monster voices his fears about what would happen if all these catastophes happened and his mother isn't there to help him. But then his mother reassures him and puts a beautiful upbeat spin on it all. I love reading this book to my 2 year old. It is a little scary in the beginning and sometimes he only wants me to read from when the mother monster is making pancakes, yet he asks me to recite the story over and over again.

Having first read this book 20 years ago and been following its guidelines every year since, I feel somewhat equiped to write a review for this book. Mabel Collins is an extraordinary person, with gifts of wisdom and purpose pertaining to the true occult occurrences only vaguely understood by the common mystic. She presents to us in this book the story of the year and its' conscious cycles of Birth, Becoming and Death. This book is a must read for any true disciple on the way and should be reprinted for the sake of all humanity on the quest of Self. The journey of the Soul invited through the personality is highlighted here and discussed both in plain language and in occult heiroglyphics for the true seer. The purpose of the One Life is exquisitely laid out and the challenge parlayed to the reader with precision. As with all Mabel's books I've read, the writing entrains the reader's mind with clarity and substance, catalyzing the mystical perceptions into the light of occult Reality. There may be no single textbook like this in all the realm. It can inspire, uplift, interject poise in the uncertain circumstances of becoming, provide insight, etc. May you find its' purpose as directly as I have and speak for its' reprinting for the current times as loudly as I am. It should be a highlighted book for all to see.

I was given this book as a gift and it has become one of my favorites to read to my 10 month old. It is a cute story and is fun to read -- nice rhythm to the story and lots of animal sounds and fun stuff.
