I enjoyed the book very much being from northwest indiana near the places where some of the stories take place. Its nice to see alot of the ghost stories i heard as a child put on paper. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes good ghost stories.

I'm founder of the Northwest Indiana Society of Ghost Research, and Mark Marimen has successfully written a book about the ghosts, legends and myths surrounding Northwest Indiana. He adds true accounts, as well as fiction and blends them together nicely. Its a must have for everyone who loves a great ghost story!!!!.

Mark has found all kinds of wonderful stories about unexplainable things. My children even found some of them hilarious! I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys good ghost stories.

A great read... A vivid picture of the life of people during one of our nation's most trying times. The characters are vivid and the author paints an impressive landscape in which to set them.

More than anything, I see this as a story of redemption and deep reflection.

Loved it! It takes something special to keep my attention cover to cover and this book has it. You'll learn about a families struggle during a time in history that we should never forget, but I pray we never relive. This book portrays the human spirit at its highest point and darkest day. Get ready for a great ride

Loved it! It takes something special to keep my interest from cover to cover and this book has that something special. Get ready for a great ride as you learn of a generation that endured experiences that we should all remember, but hopefully never have to live through.

This is an excellent book. There are many topics covered in a straightforward manner that you won't find anywhere else. Many clever solutions - I learned a lot from using this book and I've been programming in Java for a while. One of the few computer books worth the steep price.

You will not be sorry if you buy this book. The book uses a straightforward approach to some of the complicated as well as simple issues. The book is very well organized, and explanations are very clear. I would not recommend it for the beginners, but even if you are just getting comfortable with Java, this book would be an excellent value. CD that comes with this book is also very helpful.

I really liked this book. It deals with very important topics from basic to quite advanced in a very straightforward manner. I use it all the time.

Besides being very well-written and witty, this book is one of the best-researched "graving guides" I have seen on the market. I believe this is because Masek lives in the area, and is a regular visitor to these sites. Many other books have been written by people who either don't know the subject matter personally, or who have relied heavily on other, usually erroenous, sources. These mistakes are repeated over and over in guide after guide, but not in this one. Masek has clearly done all the leg work himself, and it shows.

Besides giving directions, the book also contains some very witty anecdotes about the people and the places they are buried. Although a bit large to sneak into the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn, this book really needs to be at your side for any excursion out there into the increasingly-popular world of celebrity grave-hunting.

I concur with the two previous reader reviews. This is an extremely well written book that is virtually impossible to put down. It provides the novice as well as the professional celebrity grave hunter with juicy little tidbits regarding their favorite dead celebs. It also provides accurate information regarding grave locations and precise directions as to how to find each one. Oddly enough, no other book on this subject has managed to do that.
The author also includes background information about each burial ground. I found that not only interesting, but in one specific case actually humorous.
I didn't want the book to end. I definitely will buy subsequent books by this author. In fact, I ended up buying three copies of this book as xmas gifts and the recipients enjoyed this book as much as I did.

If you are interested in exploring and visiting celebrity graves, this is a great resource. The information provided for each celebrity will give even the youngest graver in your group an idea of who the celebrity was.
This would also be an excellent guide for those of you who are not residents to the area. Visitors to Los Angeles will find this book to be helpful because it breaks down each cemetery into managable sections for touring.
Buy this book!

After a series of treatments and rehab on my back I bought this book and tried the floor exercises. Man is this really great. I use this 3 times a day and I feel alot better.

The instructions and illustrations are excellent and very easy for anyone to follow.I highly recommend this book.

I used this book before it was in print for web, I used it with a neck injury. It really made the difference on my daily stretching.

Nice story about a boy's imagination but not much else to the story. GREAT pictures, as usual by Mark Teague.

Enjoyable and worth purchasing (used in good condition) anyway - as I did.

It has it all--a wild story, vivid drawings, great sense of humor. What an imagination!

This book IS perfect for starting off the school year! Teague is outstanding! When will the guy win a Caldecott? Every book he does is filled with magnificent illustrations and incredible stories! I met him a few years ago in California...what a gentleman...ALL CLASS!

Fred Miller has written an amazingly simple book full of practical techniques to relieve the stress of our everyday lives. It's small book full of basic relaxation and focusing exercises. What he doesn't say is that within these techniques lies the possibility of finding a deeper, more profound connection with who we really are and having the peace of mind to live with others. No small feat! He demystifies the practice. Now, it's up to us to do it.

This book gets right to the point. No mysticism or religious platitudes, just simple and effective physical tools to use in quieting and relaxing your body and mind. "Three Breaths" says it all - of course there is more to support that in the book. I read "The Child Whisperer" - a parenting book by stress expert Matt Pasquinilli - a few years ago and learned how to use the "Three Breaths" technique for me and for my son. We have had much less stress since then. "How to Calm Down" can lead you to a happy and healthy life with far less stress.

of course, exciting isn't what it's about. It's about being calm, something I don't do very well. The stresses of a workday and single parenthood combine to give me a pretty hectic life. This great book really helped me chill out. I get more done and am a better parent for it. I strongly recommend this book.

I couldn't put this book down. It was given to me by a friend and I read and finished it the next day. I really enjoyed the way Mr. Smith related his situations and expierences to the reader. It was like he was talking to a friend and letting them know what he experienced in his life. I did exactly as he instructed and I saw my aura within a matter of minutes. I am really looking forward to seeing the different colors that he described. Its like finding a new toy or learning a new secret and you want to share it with everyone else. The book was really incredible and I thank Mr. Smith for sharing his story in such a humorus and down to earth way. It was a wonderfully written book.

I bet the aura of the cover model looks just like that. As a red-blooded male, I picked up the book because of HER. But when I started reading it, I was very entertained by Smith's life story, which is really what this book is all about. Still, I'd have to say that this stuff about auras seems pretty far fetched, until you follow the instructions... Oh Boy, it seems like SOMETHING is happening, but I'll need more time to practice on different folks before I'm sure that what I'm seeing is really there. Maybe if I could find the girl on the cover...

I was not prepared to be able to see the aura so clearly, but I saw it easily. This book offers the best descriptions of how to see the aura I've ever seen. I've also heard the author on the Art Bell show, and he seems really down to earth.

This was just the book I was looking for. You'll find it most useful, if, like me, you're a relatively recent college graduate looking to understand the financial aspects of that hot new PSF that you've started working for. What makes it tick? Why do I have to fill out a friggin' time sheet every friggin' week? Answers to burning questions like those await you.

You'll also find it most useful if you have some accounting or financial analyst background, because it does get into the P&L and balance sheet equations a bit, and generally assumes that you know what it's talking about.

I have had an accounting class or three (I'm in the process of taking the CFA), but even so, I found myself wondering if i'd bother reading the book every time I hit one of the accounting bits, which I found to be the low points.

The most successful parts of this book were the areas in which the author discusses the tradeoffs between the "Creeping Minority" and "Earn-out" methods of acquiring a PSF; lays out the pros and cons of being a product or sector-focused PSF; and the writing on the underlying economics of a PSF, including the bit on organizational structure, utilization and charge-out rates.

And mostly, Scott writes about all of this in an unadorned, easily-understood style. Excellent reading -- but only dead authors earn five stars from me.

"Intellect Industry" is ostensibly about how to manage people and intangibles in the professional service industry. But, far, far more than that. Fills what was a vacuum in this field. A little gem, with often overlooked fundamental insights that make or break a professional service firm (PSF). An essential book for anyone setting up a new firm. I read it over and over again.

I suggest that readers who will certainly find this book useful should also consult the recent 2nd edition of M.C.Scott's first book, "Value Drivers". Equally insightful. Considering them together, suggests that a third book by Scott with the larger over view might turn this into the essential trilogy for the PSF industry.

Would be wonderful if "Intellect Industry" and "Value Drivers" were bundled together. Would make for the basis of an excellent PSF management course.

Highly Recommended. A fantastic book targeted at entrepreneurs wishing to setup a professional service firm (PSF) or managers within an existing organisation seeking to understand how they can increase the profitability of their firm. I wish that I had had this book when I started my first PSF some seven years ago, I could have avoided a _lot_ of mistakes and possibly become profitable faster as well.

I have been in the Internet Consulting field for a while and I know that many of the startups in this industry might be well advised to pick this book.

This is not a "how to" book. Instead it explains the basic economics of a PSF.

On my way to starting a second PSF I will undoubtedly read this book again shortly...

The forms needed a lot of tweaking, there were parts that referred incorrectly to other parts. And it is heavily client-centric, I think the book was written much more for the person looking to hire a developer than for the developer.
