I really enjoyed "The Power of Economic Thinking." I don't normally go for economics books, although I love to read on a wide variety of topics. This book really opened my eyes to the dramatic impact economic theory and beliefs have on almost every aspect of our lives and society.

This book provides many good examples, backed up with solid economic theory. It was interesting and informative at the same time. I highly recommend "The Power of Economic Thinking" to anyone in the economics world AND to anyone who DOESN'T think economics is very interesting or important. This book proved to me IT IS!

My name is Mark Nigrini and I have developed software that uses algorithms to search corporate databases for fraud and irregularities. My main marketing tool is private and public seminars. I've had practice as speaking during my tenure as a university professor. My material in and of itself is quite dull. Mr. Yarnell's book was worth every cent. He has some great pointers for speakers. I've benefitted from notes such as 'keep the talk brief', 'have a call to action', and 'end with a conclusion'. I'm usually so rushed at the end that my endings were weak. I do however disagree on two of his tips (1) use no visuals, and (2) have water handy, but don't drink it. Mr. Yarnell's best pointer was NOT to eat at luncheons where you are the guest speaker

Power Strokes is a cleverly drafted satire of Tabloid celebrities, with an eye to expanding our awareness of the thin line between reality and the absurd. St. George targets the right people, and romps fearlessly where others may fear to tread. Five Stars all the way!

The Power That Binds continues the story of Julia Morton's arrival in Deva. A year has passed since the events chronicled in The God Decrees, and Julia has settled into her new life with Keverin, but Lord Mortain is now ready to continue his campaign to conquer Deva.

When King Pergann is assassinated by a traitor, Julia and Keverin are summoned to a conclave of Lords to discuss the situation and raise a new king who might then defeat Mortain's ambitions, but upon entering the capital they find traitors and intrigue at almost every turn. With enemies surrounding her, Julia is forced once again to use her magic not to heal, but to kill.

The book shows a much deeper and richer view of Deva and its people. The first book concentrated on Julia and her decisions, this one shows us the consequences of those decisions and how they will likely effect not only her future, but the future of the entire world. The various kingdoms and empires are busy realigning themselves to either ally or oppose Julia and are blind to the threat that the Tamorshin empire poses.

I'm looking forward to the next book called The Warrrior Within. I'm hoping there might be more on the old ones mentioned in the first book and hinted at in the second.

Dumaul was French surrealist who was equally interested in language and mysticism. Like Artaud, he sometimes seemed to view human existence as ghostlike, trapped as a brain in a skull like a fish in a tank. Agonizing and fascinating.

After my first ever tournament, I submitted my games to a grandmaster for advise on how I can improve my games. One thing he told me is that I am wanting in calculation skill. ...

The author is not a grandmaster but why would I care. He is a master and much much stronger than me. There are a lot of grandmaster authors out there but none of them, as far as I know, revealed the method of calculation as much as this author. No, not even in Soltis's "The Inner Game of Chess" and Kotov's "Think Like a Grandmaster". These grandmasters will always tell you to improve your calculation skills (Soltis also suggested playing games in the books without the chess set). But how many among them tells exactly how to improve this skill.

For example, do these grandmaster authors tell you that the very first thing to do is to memorize the chessboard? how to do this? that you should memorize the name of each square like c5 is a dark square and then you know that it is in c-file and 5th rank?

At last after a long search, I found it!

The photography of this book is worth the price alone. Royce's techniques are simple yet useful to novice and expert alike. His wool dubbing method is so simple and quick I have used nothing else since. You can master this wool dubbing quickly and take all the work out of nymphs to drys. Good stories as well.

Sobell provides valuable Unix fundamentals to the point where simple commands become valuable skills.
