This book is very realistic. This could happen today, it is almost out of our headlines. Very scary.

From the Back cover of the book:
In a world beset by cunning and dedicated terrorists, the helpless depend on superheros to save them from destruction.

In a complex and tightly woven plot, the city of Boston is to be destroyed by an explosion several times the size of the one that leveled Hiroshima. While the terrorist move forward with expertise, viviousness, and split-second timing, Alfred Baldwin, an unlikely hero, and Dana Pilliod, wife of the wealthy industrialist whose LNG supertanker is to serve as the terrorists' bomb, flounder in confusion, fear, and indecision. But the blue flame that lures the terrorists toward their goal of fiery revenge also burns in Baldwin and Dana-in the form of incredible courage.

In this suspenseful, and highly believable thriller, terrorism comes swiftly to the doorstep of civilization, and is met by two brave and very remarkable people.

This book was very readable...with non-stop action 'til the very end. Linda

Wechsberg's book is an established classic on a par with those of A. J. Liebling and Waverly Root. Like those other authors, Wechsberg was a journalist who wrote about food, restaurants, and food cultures in the mid-20th century, and his insights and great storytelling give the writing a permanent appeal. This can be seen from the reaction after this essay collection (whose chapters were originally written as magazine articles) appeared in this reprint edition in the mid-1980s. I was at a Christmas party with some accomplished food folks, including Paul Bertolli of the Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and was recounting to someone one of the stories ("Tafelspitz for the Hofrat") from this book. When I finished I found that most of the room was listening, and that many of them, independently, had recently read the book too. That particular essay, by the way, has lately been re-discovered in Vienna, where it was set, and has been proudly adopted by some restaurants there. In this book Wechsberg interviewed, and popularized to US readers, the legendary Fernand Point, chef and owner of the 20th-century's most famous and influential restaurant in France (and for whom the _Guide Michelin_ reportedly debated adding a fourth star to their rating system for premium restaruants). Some of the chapters are interviews, some experiences and some celebrations of food. This book is well known and indispensable to food fanatics and those seeking more of the background and context from which contemporary western culinary culture -- high cuisine as well as comfort food -- emerged.

Any marketing person who has not read this book has almost certainly wasted their time and money reading all the others. It's funny, witty, and true. And even if you don't agree, it makes a wonderful gift to your boss, who won't know whether to be grateful or insulted

If you work with people in any of the healing arts, this book is a must read for understanding the power of working somatically with people. Jim Kepner writes comprehensively about physical process from the Gestalt perspective.

If "God" had to equip us with an owner's manual for our bodies, this would be the book. This book is full of usefull information from cover to cover. I highley recommend it!

All I can say is "Wow". I did not expect to get this kind of a workout from this book, it's really heavy.

I don't know much about either the stock market or other speculative types of investments. So it is refreshing to find such a down to earth money-saving book as Bonanza Bits is.
Actually, what the author writes about is something any lay person can take advantage of, and use everyday.
For example, saving [money] simply by giving up cable and installing [an] antenna system in its place.
Other info is superbly written and is detailed for everyday people. I liked it..well, no, actually I LOVED it!

What a delight there is in reading this book. Rev. Jones's writing style has the sound of a personal conversation, sincere and informed, yet sprinkled with wit and charm. (As I had the pleasure of meeting this Welsh minister last May in Annapolis, I can attest to these attributes in the person whose hand I shook and sparkling eyes I appreciated!)

This book you can have "both ways." You can take is as a general read, picking up on parts of the Old Testament that have always fascinated or intrigued you. Or, you can read it paragraph by paragraph in order to more fully absorb the scholarship Rev. Jones offers.

What's offered here works well in study groups, too.

This must be the definitive text when it comes to a compendium of fabulous beasts. The choice of entries is excellent and expansive, the accompanying editorial insightful. Should become a classic.

This book is well worth the time to read it. It covers Granville's life in an engaging and sometimes humourous and racy style. It covers his progressive development and practical application of his theories and system. Am well pleased.
