This is a lovley tool for a person to use who is trying to get clean and sober. It helps to have a meditation for each hour of the first thirty days of trying to stay away from the first drink or whatever. The thoughts for each hour are pertinent and beautifully written. Thank you Shelly for another super, sober tool.

This information-rich book describes a model to communicate with others based on their personality type. While the book is focused on improving intimate relationships, it is equally valuable for business or social communication. It contains many helpful tables, but the text sometimes seems disjointed or oddly organized. However, the content is unique and valuable.

Unlike many self-help books, this one is packed with ideas and techniques that will benefit most anyone. It is on of the two or three best self-help books I have read.

A club of unemployed advertizing executives and others helped each other over the hurdles and on to better jobs than the ones they lost. This book grew out of the trial and error experiences of the group, what works and what doesn't. Best book on the subject I've run across.

This book should be required reading for any and all future missionaries. Broomhall does the Christian world a great service by detailing Hudson Taylors successes as well as his trials. The most remarkable feature of this book is the faith of Hudson Taylor. In the midst of incredible adversity this man abandoned himself to Jesus and the promises of Scripture. He rested soley on the provision of God, letting no man know his need. Throughout the book, Taylor's adversities and God's deliverances are a source of encouragement and inspiration that will lift the spirits of any true believer to "cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you."

Cracking the Code Within Us by Elizabeth L. Marshall, details of the Project are discussed in a clear and rational manner, devoid of the scare tactics by those who oppose genetics. She explains some of the genetic diseases that can be cured and points out that the Project could eventually lead to discovering the genetic errors responsible for more than 4,000 inherited diseases. She also assures us that intelligence is a combination of many complex genes, and we should not be looking for a cure for stupidity or a magic bullet for genius. Genetic intelligence can only be increased for the near future by good breeding. She does answer the question about the number of girl babies not born in China due to sex selection: an estimated 1.7 million a year in a population of 1 billion. This explains why Rothblatt didn't want to give an exact number. With a slightly over-representation of females born to males born naturally, there are already many more females and 1.7 million less in this large a population can only help to give women more value in the future.

Just like Coaching for Leadership, Human Resources in the 21st Century is a MUST read and should be an ACTIVE resource for leading edge HR Professionals and Service Providers who want to (positively) impact people and performance and provide value to the business.

I am so sorry this book is out of print! I'm glad I still have my old, well-loved and read copy to share with my chidren. It is halarious, and the illustrations are classic.

Both Professor Höffe and the translator deserve kudos for this work. Most other introductions to Kant that I have seen are either too superficial, or they retain too much of Kant's heavy writing style (which tends to translate poorly into English), in order to be really useful. By contrast, Professor Höffe's work summarizes everything important in Kant's philosophy in a way that is both insightful and easy to read.

The organization of Professor Höffe's book is very helpful to a proper understanding of Kant's philosophy. This book discusses Kant's life work organized according to the three famous questions that Kant posed, i.e., what can I know? what ought I to do? what may I hope?. This organization retains Kant's original didactic purpose, and helps the reader understand how the conclusions of Kant's moral and religious philosophy are directly connected with his critical analysis of reason itself.

Professor Höffe discusses, with a remarkable thoroughness for a book that is less than 300 pages long, the problems of Kant's philosophy and its relevance for our modern world. This is handled in a superb and unbiased manner. No one person can be expected to provide solutions for every philosophical problem facing humanity, and the author discusses those few areas in which Kant's solutions rested, without question, on inadequate foundations; on the other hand, Professor Höffe defuses the commonly made assertion that non-Euclidean geometry and quantum mechanics should have "undermined" Kant's philosophy, and shows that the reasoning behind this assertion is, in effect, inadmissible.

The writing style of this book is another reason for buying it. This book is completely free of scholastic obscurantism. There are no yawn-inducing pile-ups of abstract terms derived from Latin or Greek. Difficult and complex problems are never explained in Ciceronian periods. Single-clause sentences are the rule rather than the exception. I assume that the German original must have been written in this way, but it must then also be said that the translator, Marshall Farrier, has succeeded where few people have, i.e., in having translated a German work about philosophy into clear and natural English.

This is an excellent introduction to Kant's philosophy. I know of no better in the English language.

This is the first book with a Christian perspective that I read which gave me a basis for ending my abusive marriage. It was the first book that told me that God loves BOTH partners in a marriage- and that it was NOT OKAY for my husband to be abusive. It states that SUBMISSION IS NOT SLAVERY OR BEING A DOORMAT! THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK THAT GAVE ME PERMISSION TO QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY OVER ME AS THE HEAD OF OUR HOME! Unfortunately, it took me 10 more years to finally be free of his contol and abuse, but I credit this book with giving me the freedom to survive! A MUST for ANY WOMAN WHO QUESTIONS HER HUSBAND'S CONTROLLING, ISOLATING OR ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR- ESPECIALLY IF SHE IS A CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVES IN THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.

This book is a powerful and moving testimony to both the goodness and evilness found in mankind. Marshall has written a book that is profound, while at the same time simple. I found myself wanting to know these people who had survived such an inhumane ordeal. When I come to the end of a book and find myself wishing it would go on and on, I know I have found a winner. In the Sewers of Lvov is that kind of book!
