In Making Dreams Come True Without Money, Might Or Miracles, philosopher, provocateur, and volunteer activist Ivan Scheir draws upon his more than thirty years of experience and expertise to explain what both dreamers and "dream-catchers" must do to bring dreams to life; why dreams die and how to keep them strong; the importance of a dream-friendly environment and how to create one; "rules" for dreamers and dream-catchers; how to look beyond money as a need, obstacle or trap; and the simple (yet profound) ways anyone can catch someone else's dreams and support them to reality. Making Dreams Come True Without Money, Might Or Miracles is a unique self-help, self-improvement guide that is enthusiastically recommended reading for anyone trying to bring to fruition their own dreams, hopes, aspirations, and desires.

Being a Student/admirer of Carmelo Mesa-Lago, I have seen his share of great works on Cuba and Latin America. None however compare to this one. This book has information that only Mesa-Lago, the formost Cuban economist outside of the island, could present and analyze. He breaks down the economies of Cuba, Chile, and Costa Rica and explains the path to development that each country has taken. IF you are a student of economics, international relations, political science... or just intrested in Latin American issues, this book is a must!!!

This book is the best one ever written on this subject. Every person working in the field must have this one permanently on his desk.

The book is well organized, very comprehensible, has a lot of original solved problems. It is a great contribution to mathematical-physics.

Quite simply, one of the best books I've ever read. Mr. Allen provides an easy to read (and sometimes humorous) account of his tenure as mayor of Atlanta through the turbulent 1960's.

This is an exceptional children's book. The story of Peter is beautifully woven through illustrations that are nothing short of magical. There's are messages about kindness, greed, and living simply, but they never jeopardize the enchantment.

Ivan Tors was one of the greatest filmmakers, zoologists, scientists and men who ever lived. This man almost single-handedly changed the way animals were and are treated in the entertainment industry. His accomplishments should make him better known than Disney, Spielberg and Lucas - combined. He was the Producer responsible for FLIPPER, SEA HUNT, GENTLE BEN, DAKTARI, SCIENCE FICTION THEATER, and dozens of other fine films and TV programs .... but his #1 passion in life was living in Africa and studying and loving animals. This book can change your life. It changed mine.

"The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Firearms" is a very well researched book of firearms. It does lack many firearms, but it gives the general Idea of what firearms have been and what they have become.

One of the best Cadogan books to be released recently. I've seen a few others that weren't so clear. Contains 70 *complete* games of Master play. None of this "White to move with advantage" nonsense (except when offering possible alternatives to the game at hand). Sokolov advocates for White 4.Qc2 when facing the Nimzo-Indian Defence and explains Black's 3 major alternatives in detail along with 2 minor alternatives that occasionally show up. I played through some of the games and i must say the level of tactical and positional themes are quite dynamic. The book has renewed my interest in playing the Nimzo-Indian for both sides.

In Los Angeles' Abyssinia barbershop, Marshall Spears is the oldest of the regulars who meet there. When he becomes excited over a radio interview of former Negro League baseball player, Kennesaw Riles, Ivan Monk takes notice especially since the interviewee is a relative. However, everyone in the shop that day takes notice when Marshall suddenly drops dead.

Monk and his associates try to do the right thing for Marshall, but are amazed to learn that he was a former baseball player. At his funeral, several of his old teammates including Kennesaw arrive to pay their respects. A few days later, Kennesaw is dead and police officer Rogers believes someone murdered him because he died from taking too much dioxin. Since it appears that the culprit knew the victim, Rogers turns towards Monk's mother Nona who had the motive and the means. Nona, a nurse, never forgave Kennesaw for lying on the witness stand against a rising black politician. Monk, a private detective, begins to make inquiries into the death of his relative.

What makes the Monk mysteries magnificent is the rich characterizations that allow the audience an opportunity to deeply look inside an African-American community. Besides telling a fabulous investigative tale, Gary Phillips talent lies in his ability to bring home the needs, desires, and ambitions of that community through the real people he describes. The latest tale, ONLY THE WICKED, contains a superb story line that includes a well written sleuthing adventure and homage to the Negro Leagues with references to baseball players like the original Flash, Cool Papa Bell. As usual, Mr. Phillips provides fans with a great trash-talking novel.
