This book gives you everything you want and more! I followed this closely when I had a crummy track coach in high school and my times ended up being exactly at the race pace I was training for. I have used these workouts in coaching as well and have seen great success with them. A lot of the books that come out nowadays are just commentaries on runners--this one gives you the year-round training schedules you've been looking for.

The second part of the series concentrates on shorter distances (800m to 5,000m/5miles). Along with general information and discussions the most useful part of the book are the practical day-by-day 10-week schedules. The schedules are very specific - depending on time goals, initial preparation and the distance. Excellent book!

Three of my favorate personal development books are The Power of Positive Thinking, Think and Grow Rich, and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Now I have four. Self-Wealth restates some time proven self-development principles combined with alot of very inciteful new material. This is a book you can't put down, and I know I got more information from my second read. Great stuff!

When I was in my early twenties I bought my first "personal development" book, written by Anthony Robbins. Little did I know this would start a long journey of studying self-help litterature, listening to motivational audiotapes, and even attending a few inspirational lectures and seminars. Now, with all that I've read and all that I've studied, I must say that Self Wealth has probably had the most profound impact on me to date. And I say this even though it's been less than a week since I finished the book! Maybe it's because the timing and the message was right for me just now. Maybe it's the result of the book's powerful simplicity.. In any case, I really feel like "I got it!" Honestly, this book really tied it all together for me and I am sure it will be a tremendous asset for anyone. No matter what your background, occupation, age, sex or location may be, this book can really help you change, reach your goals and live more abundant and balanced lives. I know this without a doubt... Still, YOU need to USE the principles and ideas that are presented. In Self Wealth you will also find tips and excercises to help you do just this. Again, it's simple, it's easy and it's practical. It is all this and more... It's one GREAT, GREAT book!

Written by a recognized expert in online music marketing, Mark Curran's Sell Your Music: How To Profitably Sell Your Own Recordings Online is a comprehensive, user-friendly, step by step guide to using the Internet in order to make money from your own music. Sell Your Music contains extensive interviews with independent musicians who have made thousands of dollars, as well as tips, tricks, and techniques to reaching your target market and maximizing your profits while minimizing hassle. Highly recommended for all aspiring performers whether they are soloists or band members.

I would highly recommend this book for all musicians and songwriters. At first I was skeptical as I have read other books about marketing music on the internet. But this one was very detailed and showed all the steps involved, and pulled no punches about the need for discipline. Mark W. Curran covers all the bases, and even includes ways to promote your band offline and offline, so that your online sales will be increased. There are some great resources in the back, also, and the book includes detailed screen shots on how to perform marketing tasks and to set up a daily marketing schedule. Good show, very good book.

You either love him or hate him, but one thing is for certain, once you start reading what Mark Simpson has to say about sex you won't be able to stop. I, for one, was never bored or provoked by what he had to say. Simpson has a way of making you think differently about sex. This from an author who is both hated and respected. You may not agree with his comments but you'll think twice about what he has to say. These essays originally appeared in magazines like Attitude, the Independent, and Vogue Hommes International, etc. I found these essays to be funny, sexy, informative, and intelligently written. This book is a great follow-up to his other book, "IT'S A QUEER WORLD".

The book is divided into four sections; Dirty Words, Dirty Thoughts, Dirty Talk, and Dirty Books. There are about forty-eight essays and six personal interviews included in this collection so it's hard to choose favorites. Each and every one is thought-provoking, whether he's talking about President Clinton in "Slick Willy" (the Oval Office has become the Oral Office); or the Republican Reaction in "The Sex Terror"; or Brad Pitt in the "Pittfall of Being Brad Pitt" (a victim of his own beauty); or "Eminem Melts in Your Mouth"(is Eminem really what he appears to be?). There's sure to be some serious eyebrows raised while reading some of these chapters. Simpson's interviews with Aiden Shaw & Julie Burchill are not to be missed, fascinating. He even confronts Henry Rollins with those 'gay' rumors.

Simpson argues there is far too much faith put in sex these days, and it can be ultimately disappointing. What is not disappointing is this book and reading his personal points of view. You will certainly be entertained, educated, and never bored. Perhaps you will even finding yourself thinking differently about sex. This is a book that should be read by all. Simpson really puts things in the proper perspective. Highly Recommended!

If you want to eat free for the next few months then read this book and steal Simpson's witty, wicked lines. You'll be invited to every dinner party in town and be the centre of attention. Why Simpson isn't more famous in the US I don't know - but it suits me just fine. All my friends think I'm the new Oscar Wilde.

As an open partisan of Mark Taylor's scholarhip, I was delighted to find that he has outdone himself in SHAKESPEARE'S IMITATIONS. His prose sparkles with a bravura wit truly inspired by the verbal and structural play of Shakespeare's own invention. SHAKESPEARE IMITATIONS tackles the best of the best: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, HENRY IV, PART 1, HAMLET, and THE TEMPEST. With great yet unassuming erudition and with an unflagging perceptiveness, Taylor pursues the kaleidoscopic question of Shakespeare's mirrorings of antiquity, of contemporary literature, and of his own creations. Even on the rare occasions when I find myself disagreeing with him, Taylor's arguments compel a re-thinking of these four great plays and a renewed appreciation of the infinite capacity of Shakespeare's (to say nothing of Taylor's) imagination.

Andre Gide's concept of the mise en abyme which has become a wide-ranging and controversial tool in literary understanding is deftly applied here by Mark Taylor to four of Shakespeare's most complex plays. Although the theoretical background is French and thus somewhat elliptical in expression, Taylor's prose is fresh, clear, and a pleasure to read. Difficult matter gracefully communicated.

This book has an excellent single-player walkthrough. If you're stumped, this is the better alternative to calling up hint numbers!

Check it out... it helped me immediately

I would have assumed that a book on "the meaning of life" would be either a spoof or the work of a fool. It's probably fitting, therefore, that I find myself with the task of writting a review of Significance.

There are no words for the task.

Genuine authority is a rare thing. Find it here.

Significance is a significant book because it makes you think. John Kimpel has created a compilation of ideas, stories and bursts of philosophical musing.

The book contains:

In Praise of Another's Work
On Telling Stories
A Letter
In the Forest
A Brief Comparison
Priorities
On the Limits of Psychology
About Truth
On Kindness
A Letter
Criticism of Another's Work
Perspective
Restating the Argument Once Again
Letters to C. Stephen Evans
Notes

"Restating the Argument Once Again" on page 63 has a very true statement about why we enjoy reading similar books as our friends.

Then the author also considers various questions:

Why does horrible evil occur while God stands by?
Why do people worry about the state of their soul?

I can't necessarily agree that Hell could be the best place for anyone to be, but
the thought is one that is very unique. The author says that God would not send anyone to hell unless it was the best place for them to be. I disagree while still being intellectually amused.

I saw a lot of truth in his ideas about suicide. And this relates to the book title.

The author takes statements that a Christian will find to be untrue, like "Suppose that God is evil." If you believe the Bible, you will question his thinking at various points.

All I can say is that most of us have never written such complex letters
to our friends or maybe even to authors.

The beauty of this book is not necessarily in the complexity of the stories or the understanding of the principles, but perhaps in the simplicity of a sentence that jumps out at you and begs to be collected.

My favorite quotes:

"Christians are broken, imperfect people struggling in the same world as everyone else."

"Self-deception is, at best, a temporary anesthetic that is purchased at a cost to the individual's soul."

"Perhaps the only way to deal with unbearable horror is to pretend that it isn't there."

This is not a book to read in a hurry, it is a book you want to think
about. Some of the items in this book will haunt your very soul.

If you love philosophy and want to delve into another human's mind and see how they think, this might be for you. If you also enjoy authors like J. Budziszewski you will see a difference in the thought process presented.

Haunting.

Those practitioners looking for a good overview of many dermatological conditions, with up to date treatments have found a pear in this Habib edition. This book stays on my desk or in a room - where I peruse through pictures or show patients pictures of others with their condition. Most dermatological atlas or text are incredibly expensive. The price makes this edition a MUST BUY.

Contains the most information I've seen in a derm paperback. Great reference. Excellent images and diagrams.

The 4th edition of Small Animal Clinical Nutrition is significantly different from the first 3 editions -- expanded, more information, different editors, different organization, etc.

Much of this volume is more technical than the average reader wants or needs. It is a textbook used in veterinary schools. But a dedicated reader could gain much from it. Even the average reader could benefit from the chapters on commerical pet foods and on home prepared diets.

Is good to see this book is not just written by nutriologist, there is an important contribution of clinicians dedicated to specific areas.

This gives you all you need to know about how to break into the industy. Believe me, this book can change your life. I read it, and I am now following my dream and am currently pretending to get beaten up for a living.

I am a personal friend of Marks and I bought the book to learn more about what he does. I was pleasantly suprised at how easy it was to read and how much information it provides about the stunt industry. If I was going to start out in the industry, it would be a "must buy"!
