Thanks to Harold Werner for retelling these events from his deathbed. I read the book in an evening and could not put it down. I am very proud to know that people such as Mr. Werner fought back no matter what the odds. Not only does he write about battles and suffering, but he also writes of the community he grew up with, the people he loved, how people made their living, and how they related to their neighbors.

This true story takes place in Poland during the late 1930s thru 1946.The main character is a young man named Harold.The trials he experiences prior to WW2 are nothing compaired to the radical changes his life undergoes during the Nazi occupation.There were several things that I enjoyed most about this book.It is scary to realise how treacherous people can be to each other but it is encouraging to see how the human spirit rises to such adverse circumstances.You will follow his life from living in the city to hiding in the forests of Poland while being hunted by villagers and Nazis.Fear and hunger were common among this group of partsians.I found this story easy to read and relate to. This story can parallel any group of people who are oppressed.

A very concise how-to book on strategic planning for today's fire department whether it is volunteer or paid. Step by step plans as well as forms and other useful information to use. Very helpful for first time strategic planners as well as those updating their plans.

More often than not, we look to business and industry for answers to fire service problems. Most business strategic planning models have limited application to our profession. Mark Wallace has developed a fire department specific model that provides an excellent template in identifying medium and long range strategic planning issues. I have read this text and highly recomment it to the proactive planners of the future.

Some time ago, I wrote a great review of this book, but I see that it's been removed for some reason. Nonetheless, I have to again state that this is an indispensible field guide and reference book for anyone who loves fishing and learning more about the natural histories of the freshwater fish in the central United States. Peterson, Golden, and Audubon guides cover all of North America which makes most of their books cumbersome and useless to those of us in the heartland, non-ocean states. The pictures are the most lifelike depictions of fish I've ever seen of any North American fish. It's also full of interesting tid bits of each fish species. Again, great book. It's in a class of its own.

This book is the best I have in my library. All the important information on fishes in the Missouri or Mississippi drainage are well covered. The color pencil drawings are flawless.

This is a wonderful read, you start out with the Flash going ot his grandfathers place and while looking at his old pictres he thinks back to his first year as "Kid Flash". And that's where the story takes place, it shows you how he got his powers and his adventures with the Flash (then Barry Allen) facing people like mirror master. I just love this story because it's fun and you get a to see a New Barry Allen story and if your a fan you can't miss. A fun read tht has it's share of drama, if your a flash fan please get this book because you will love it like i do.

If you love Flash,you can't miss this saga. Almost everything you want to know about Wally West first years, as a Scarlet Speedster, is here. But the best part isn't past memories: you will finish it, and you wanna read more... it's seems a thunder can strike twice in the same place!

Michael Carpo is a young, rising newswriter at WIBN-TV in New York. When he receives a phone call from a man who is found dead and frozen in the Central Park reservoir, he is drawn into the investigation of a murder that takes him from his own East Village neighborhood to the elite art world of Christie's auction house and the Metropolitan Museum, where his college girlfriend may or may not be involved. With FLESH AND STONE, Mark Miano has put a fresh spin on the genre by believably mixing mystery with the medium of television news.

This was a terrific book and a great read. I can't wait to read the further adventures of Michael Carpo. Miano is to be commended

My husband and I took this recipe book with us on our vacation to Florida. I enjoy cooking and do not have alot of time to cook at home. We tried several recipes and enjoyed every one!! I left the cookbook in our vacation home for others to use and am ordering another one to have at home. We usually go out to eat while on vacation but I used this book and we enjoyed wonderful meals at home. The meals were elaborate but with not alot of preparation time. I've never used a cookbook so much.

Trusting a recipe often comes down to trusting the source. The sources for the recipes are impeccable; in fact, they're some of the best chefs in the state.

...It's VERY worthwhile buying seeing that it tells you EVERYTHING about your car, and how to repair them inc. sensors, brakes, lights, replacing transmission gears, head gaskets ect...

It's the only book you need. I have one for my Sunbird, Topaz GS, Topaz L and my 2001 Malibu LS

the book is great, I bought the book,and left it on the table, when i got back, my wife had the car in pieces, and starting to put it back together, she fixed it, and I didnt have to get greasy,

Mark Sanborn's book " The Fred Factor" is a wonderfully written wake up call to stop, smell the roses and share them with others. The book shows us how to make a difference in life not only for others but also for ourselves. He opens the door step by step in well-explained detail. Reminding us that we all can be "Fred's". A must read for exploration into the obtainable process of making life beautiful. Highly Recommend!

Mark Sanborn's book, The Fred Factor, is the simplest, yet most impressive book on helping people turn their lives from ordinary to extraordinary. The transformational power of this book is that it pulls numerous seemingly insignificant examples from everyday life to illustrate how simple it is to actually do this. Inspired by the selfless and inspiring acts of Mark's postman, we are treated to a hundred different ways of how to make our everyday lives extraordinary! So much of our lives we have been raised to find an extraordinary job, marry an extraordinary spouse, become a member of an extraordinary house of worship, write an extraordinary book, when in fact, the focus has been all wrong! External events, people, or circumstances do not dictate living an extraordinary life. It is mastered and executed by YOU! Just this whole shift in focus is enough to motivate most of us out of our futility and into changing ourselves to that different life we are searching for. This book is empowering and will open your eyes to the infinite possibilities and goodness of people and circumstances. And that is something that is sorely missing in the world today. Imagine what the world would be if everyone realized that everything they need to make a difference was right there within themselves! After reading this book, you'll have the tools to change your world into an extraordinary one. Best of all, you'll be able to start this incredible journey the moment you pick up this book.

My group of friends, who had all travelled Greece in our backpacking days, benefited greatly from this book. As our trip in July 2002 progressed, we relied more and more heavily on the book. The recommendations from sites to food to hotels proved to be excellent every time. I particularly liked that the lodging and restaurant recommendations had inexpensive through expensive listings, which we used as our budget-mindedness changed during the trip. For anyone beyond backpacking and Lonely Planet, this book is a must.

I found this book very useful. I used it mostly as a guide on a walking tour of Athens. I only had three days in Athens and wanted to see as much as possible. I spent a few hours browsing through the pertinent section and made my plan of action. Everything was as described. I also referred to it when making my hotel reservation and when looking for good restaurants. I stayed at the Hotel Philippos near the Acropolis - a great little place. Eating I went through great troubles one night to find the Taverna Sigalas in the Monasteraki area (because of subway construction,) but it was well worth the effort. I still drool at the thought of the wonderful Greek salad I had and the very best moussaka I've ever eaten. Going to Rome this year and I plan to buy a Frommer's for Rome because I only have three days there and I know I can depend on this book.

A very readable book; ideal for learning elementary electronics either in school or on one's own. This is a text for use in the first course of an Electronics Technician program. It is well-written and has very few errors. Hazen succeeds in making things understandable on an intuitive level (where other authors, e.g. Floyd, seem to assume a year of college physics for the background understanding of more abstract concepts). The pub date of 1990 should not put you off, because the fundamentals really have not changed. What has changed in books which have gone through more regular updating are the graphics, which are fancier, and the prices, which are proportionately higher (funny how the same hard to follow explanations are repeated from edition to edition by other authors -- a weakness not improved by pretty graphics). This book also comes in at just under 650 total pages (supplementary material and index are paginated seperately) where a competing book weighs (heavily) in at 1008 total. Which one would you rather carry around for a year? Few 2 year tech programs will use all of the material in the 1kp volume. This book can help open the doors to something more advanced, such as the excellent _The Art of Electronics_ by Horowitz and Hill.

Fundamentals of DC and AC Circuits - Hazen has done it again with a winning book targeted exactly right for the Vocational and Technical School markets. This book is the very definition of adjectives such as readable, understandable, practical, applied, and complete. Many students say this is one of the few textbooks they were able to read and actually understand. All parts of the book and available ancillaries were written by Hazen, providing the all-important continuity that students need and expect. This is a definite buy for anyone wanting to learn about electricity, either on their own or in a formal classroom
