Women are leaders too, and all women have leadership potential and abilities. This is the message of this new book by Joan Eleanor Gustafson.

Some Leaders are Born Women tells the stories of 37 female leaders from different walks of life - so the book is easy to read, interesting and down-to-earth. It tells you how these women got their feet wet! and rose to the challenges within each of their lives, communities, businesses and families. The stories of these women ar wonderful and truly inspiring.

Joan outlines the seven essential characteristics shared by women leaders in the world today and outlines the ways in which each of us can become more effective in our lives by building and developing the leader that already lives within us. Readers who enjoy self help strategies will find the advice here helpful and relevant.

Although most of the stories are about American women, some come from other countries. I enjoyed discovering the commonalities in the stories despite the diversity of occupation and location.

It is clear to me, from reading this book, the Joan Eleanor Gustafson is herself a dynamic leader and has a lot that is interesting to say about a topic that is still difficult for women to grapple with, acknowledge and own - that some leaders are born women!

Joan Wiener and Sharon Rosenberg do it again! This is the sequel book to "The Illustrated Hassle-Free Guide to Making your own clothes."

If you sew at all you will probably find the first book too basic. This book is geared towards the more experienced seamstress. Both of the books use funny methods like tracing your clothing and adding seam allowances, but don't be too critical -- they work! I have made very cool pants from these books.

This book includes alot more information than the first because it has a much more professional and efficient layout. It includes very funky clothing, but the techniques are pretty timeless. A very entertaining book, with lots of photographs of Rosenberg and Weiner's fun hippy friends.

Includes patterns for overalls, wrap around pants skirts and shirts, normal pants and skirts and shirts, clothing from India (punjabi pants, cholis and saris), clown costumes, belly dancer costumes, raggedy ann costumes, quilts. This is quite the eclectic period piece and is well worth tracking down.

This book is a wonderful introduction to the rain forest and poison dart frogs for children. The story takes you through the life of a strawberry poison dart frog (my daughter Jessie's favorite frog) from egg to adult. The story is excellent and the pictures are fantastic! I have been to La Selva twice so I can say that the story and pictures are realistic. A picture quiz at the end of the book will keep your eyes open for other rain forest wildlife living in the pictures of this wonderful book. I instruct environmental education programs and use this book often. Enjoy!

Anna lives in Rome with her father and she notices that she doesn't have a mother. She tries to ask her father, but no answer. Her father Stephan is poor and lives out in the streets with Anna. She has a friend, which she tells secrets to. Until the end of the book, she knows what happened to her mom, and they live happily ever after! It is a COOL BOOK!

This is a fine book, lots of good information, great photographs; but it is not hardcover. It is not available in hardcover. Amazon needs to fix this.

I need learn English and I looking for a good course, for me SPECTRUM IT'S THE BEST.

George Tavard in 'The Spiritual Way of St. Jeanne d'Arc' describes Joan's dedication to spiritual virginity as 'one cannot clean one's conscience too much.' Even though she also included sexual continence, the spiritual virginity is an example for all to follow if we want to love and serve God and our fellow man. It is a constant looking at our life in order to see what we must change. The core of this is her reliance on God at all times. It is an example for all of us who at times in our life feel hopeless when we rely on our limitations. Many of the lives of the Saints are written devoid of any anger or human faults. This book shows Joan's humanness and anger, sometimes bordering on sarcasm, to questions that were misleading and deceitful. It also show's how she integrated her interior life of contemplation with God into her active life of leadership for the liberation of France. Joan of Arc is a timeless model for all men and women to follow. I highly recommend this book as a companion to 'Joan of Arc, Her Story' by Regine Pernoud and Marie-Veronique Clin. Art Dugan
