The Woman with Qualities goes far beyond being simply romantic fiction. It speaks to the very human insecurities that trap us in defeated lives. Digesting the message of Ms. Daniels' captivating first book was a real eye opener! From the beginning of her novel to the unanticipated ending, I was hooked.

Three months a widow, Keri Anders sells her home in Upstate New York and moves to Florida at the urging of a friend. From day one, Florida is anything but the land of sunshine. Keri is plagued with one setback after another, until an accident lands her in the office of Dr. David Chipperton.
Curly hair and twinkling hazel eyes aside, his persona seems familiar. Keri is a poet, a writer, as was Chip's departed mother. She's delighted when the handsome doctor hires her to edit his mother's writings and mentor his own.

Keri and Chip have more in common than her injury and his dreams of writing. Their spirits are connected through time, familiar and beloved. The fact that Chip is married to a wealthy socialite has very little to do with their relationship. Keri is well-read, intelligent and gifted. Chip sees unconditional love and commitment in this woman with qualities.

How the author spins this tale of love between an insecure woman and her solace-seeking lover is what impressed me. Ms. Daniels writes well and kept me reading with delicious anticipation. Along the way, Keri's spirit gains the strength it always lacked and she becomes a woman capable of anything she can imagine doing or being.

As I said in the beginning, The Woman with Qualities transcends romance. You'll have to read it for yourself to understand the secrets I chose not to reveal. I recommend it to mature readers.

I read the book in other language, i.e. Korean, and with other
illustration. However, this is a really beautiful story whatever language it is written in. There is an wolf who has been captured by men and put into a zoo. When he was caught, his one eye was injured, but he didn't mind because he decided that one eye is sufficient to see the sad, miserable world of men-to his eye, men are as sad and miserable as the captured animals in the zoo. There is a boy from Africa who stands in front of the wolf and look at him directly in his one remaining eye. He himself has been through a lat of sad incidents all over the Africa - in yellow, grey, and green ones. What do they see each other's eyes ? How does the wolf change his mind and accept there are something even in this miserable world worth watching with two eyes ? It's a so beautiful and poignant story (and I don't want to spoil your chance to find it^^), worth reading over and over again.

Question: Which edition of Robert's Rules is official? Aren't they all the same? Which one do professional parliamentarians refer to? Answer: The National Association of Parliamentarians, and the American Institute of Parliamentarians, only recognize one book as the current official parliamentary authority: Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised [1990 edition, Scott, Foresman] Everything else is old, or a variation. The bible of parliamentary law, it is this edition that your bylaws probably mentions, not the 1876 original text, like some publishers are selling. Be forewarned, it is literally a book of rules, and not easily absorbed. -- You may have to learn what's practical for your average meeting by a simpler beginners book. If you want simple, go elsewhere; if you want complete, this is it. No other book is ADDING things to Henry M. Robert's original classifications & rankings (it's 700+ pages!), only shortening & simplifying & rephrasing.

Many people will recommed other parliamentary authorities whose primary benefit is that of being shorter. Other authorities I've read ("21st Century Robert's Rules" and "Riddick's Rules of Procedure") are shorter because they've left out substantial parts, or don't include useful examples.

Some other authorities, like Ray Keesey's "Modern Parliamentary Procedure" do not actually reflect current (or past) parliamentary practice, but attempt to redefine procedure based on the author's own bias. Robert's Rules are more obviously the result of centuries of practice, and use.

This book will not get you up and running overnight, but it is indispensable to anyone with a desire for a comprehensive understanding of parliamentary law. And even though it is a more massive work, part of the extra material is instructive on shortening your meetings by acting more efficiently without abridging anyone's rights.

As a lawyer, when I am asked about proper procedure at a meeting, my first question is: What rules do you use? Is there an applicable statute, or bylaws or rules that the organization has adopted? Nine times out of ten, the answer is: "Robert's Rules of Order." Robert's is the most widely used parliamentary manual in the United States.

General Henry M. Robert published the original "Robert's Rules" in 1875 and 1876 and, since the copyright on that edition (and the next few editions) has long since expired, there are numerous unofficial editions on the market. The third edition, published in 1893, is still marketed in paperback by more than one publisher as the "original" Robert's Rules. With the copyright expired, even the name "Robert's" has passed into the public domain, and many imitators have slapped the name "Robert's" on books of parliamentary procedure that bear minimal relation to General Robert's work (much as many dictionaries claim the name "Webster's" without any connection to Noah Webster or the Merriam-Webster brand that carries on his work). This book is the real Robert's, composed by an editorial board appointed by General Robert's heirs (including his descendants Sarah and Henry III, both eminent parliamentarians). Now in its tenth edition, published in 2000, this book "supersedes all previous editions and is intended automatically become the parliamentary authority in organizations whose bylaws prescribe 'Robert's Rules of Order' . . . or the like, without specifying a particular edition."

Robert's is not necessarily the best parliamentary manual on the market: "Modern Parliamentary Procedure" by Ray Keesey is far more logical and user-friendly, and "The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure" by Alice Sturgis (commissioned by the American Institute of Parliamentarians as a contemporary alternative to Robert's) is more readable and more rooted in modern practice. But no other book has gained as much as a toehold in Robert's dominance in the market. If you are interested in parliamentary procedure, or figuring out how most organizations work in the twenty-first-century United States, this Robert's is indispensable.

This little interior design kit is well worth the money. In contrast to many computer programs, it's simple and easy to use. There are multiple of symbols for every room and item in your house - appliances, kitchen and bath fixtures, windows, doors and other architectural elements and of course furniture. You'll even be able to mark switches, outlets and phone jacks on your floor plan. The best thing about this kit is that it reminds me of my grade school days and all the fun I had with just scissors, paste and paper.

She really liked this one. She created her own interior home setting.

This book starts out great, because it really makes it clear for us idiots the reason electrons are pushed. It is an engaging study tool that makes you want to open the book everyday. The problem with the book, I'm now learning, is that I now know how to push electrons, but I still don't know when to apply what rules. I thought that the book would have talked more about how to identify electrophiles, and nucleophiles (with regards to reagents). Instead the books jumps for being really easy to follow, to asking the reader to attempt really complex mechanisms. That's like asking a kid who just learned his ABC's to write a book. Very poor ending.

However, for those of you who are clear on electrophiles and nucleophiles, this book would be perfect for you. I suspect that if you know those well, you might not need this book.

Having had Dr. Weeks as a professor in my college days, I could not reisist purchasing and reading this book. As an educator, Dr. Weeks was gifted in his ability to take difficult course material and convert it into material that was not only understandable, but enjoyable. He has accomplished this again with the third edition of his book. The mastery of electron movement in organic reactions makes the understanding of more complex aspects of organic chemistry more easily achieved. No organic chemistry student should be without this book.

This book refrains on the theory and encourage the practice of pushing electron. It's extremely easy to follow and a great practice guide to read before a first organic chemistry course. Help the student master a technique essential to the understanding of Organic Chemistry mechanism.

I sincerely expected a lot more. Be aware that, as of 2000, most websites featured in this book either do not exist any longer or have gone under a complete facelift. The CDROM included was quite disappointing: just a directory of the featured sites with a low resolution graphics of their splash page; there is an option to connect to them but the links are mostly outdated. I think the only value of this book is its inspirational content: some of the sites do indeed look great (I wonder about their loading time though) and will inspire some of us to do "a little more". This book was probably great 2 years ago; it has little value nowadays.

Iacocca said, "A man ahead of his times, is broke." Try and go to these incredible sites and discover the failure rate of cutting edge websites. Great designers none-the-less.

This is an awesome book! I'm a Digital Artist and I was very inspired by the designs featured in this book. It will inspire you! You will look at all your previous work and think their boring! This book is on the cutting edge. The full color pictures are awesome, it's beautifully and it rocks! I recommend it to anyone in the design field! An excellent book to inspire web designers. I love it!
