This book is a stellar resource, addressing what it means to be a female in evolution. From it I have gained a more enlightened perspective of how and why the female body functions - for example: why female primates (including human females) tend to deposit extra fat and why females develop osteoporosis. The cross-cultural life-histories of women discussed in The Evolving Female are fascinating and invaluable. Life-histories of non-human primates add additional depth to the text. This is a must read for all women and all students of evolution!

This colorful picture book would delight any young child. Wonderful illustrations accent the sweet story of a young fish and his adventures when mother sends him out to play.

This is a terrific love story with Joanne and Stratton as they find their way to each other. I loved every page that I turned. The temp jobs that Joanne took were a blast and every part of this story made you feel almost as if you were there - a part of the huge family. This is a must read. Five stars and two thumbs up!!!

This is a most tender love story between Missy and Kevin when the two find themselves and slowly realize that they are falling in love with each other. It will touch your heart and make you feel young again. An incredible story that you will remember and carry with you always. It deserves ten stars!! A great book read!!

This one was very action packed, I enjoyed the characters journies and hope to read more by this author

This book has been a team effort. Maxie Dunnam, John Maxwell, Elmer Towns, and James Earl Massey. The aughor Dale Galloway, is Professor of Biblical Preaching and church leadership at Asbury Theological Seminary. Such chapters as Power of Vision, Visionary Church INtegrity, and How to be a Christlike Servant Leader make this a great book.

The Little Blue Book Of Courage: Timeless Thoughts Of Bravery To Shield You In A Changing World compiled and edited by Clinton Galloway is a highly recommended selection of inspirational quotations that span a history of more than 2,500 years, to help one better find, understand, and appreciate the virtues of courage and bravery. The Little Blue Book Of Courage is a veritable treasure trove of truly memorable phrases, such as "The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently but to live manfully" (Thomas Carlyle) and "Be not merely good; be good for something" (Henry David Thoreau).

I have read all of Ms. Galloway's books and loved every one of them but I have to tell you that you are in for a treat with her latest, The Love Letter. It's six stars and two thumbs up. It will have you turning the pages with the witty dialogue. WOW!!! This book is a keeper! Great dialogue and characters. You can almost see their faces as Millicent and Marshall share conversation and when you throw George and Edmund into the picture, you will not want to put this book down. Action with the words at every turn of the page. Millicent and Marshall are a delightful couple. The ending superb! You will love the book as you cheer them on. When Edmund enters with his shenanigans, you can't help but cheer for Marshall to come to her rescue. Not only that, you find yourself caring for Edmund when you get to know the character! This was one story that I didn't want to end with its spring fever! An excellent, excellent book!!

"Working together must indeed become easier." Jane Galloway Seiling writes, "Leaders now know that the effective organization must create an inclusive, more accepting environment, where everyone has respect and dignity. Leaders have decided it is time to open opportunities to deeper participation and involvement by all so that real innovation is possible. But how can this be done? It is increasingly obvious that it is essential to get top performance from people in all areas of circle. A new workplace scenario reflecting a new mind-set- a community of connected people who care more deeply about their organization- is needed" (pp.1-2).

Hence, she defines new workplace as 'the new workplace community'. "Community means connections among groups over time. The term evokes images of belonging and pride, a symbolic home. Transferring those images to a 'workplace community'- a workplace that is moral and respectful, and that treats employees as 'responsible agents' of the organization- is highly desirable." According to Jane Galloway Seiling the New Workplace Community: (a). is inclusive, integrative, and flexible, (b). sets goals that attract the input of organizational members, (c). encourages collaborative partnerships, (d). communicates effectively, (e). instills pride in organizational memberships, (f). is steadfast in difficult situations, (g). understands that the phrase 'we are the organization' is significant to the success of the workplace community.

In this context, throughout this invaluable book, she discusses the seven principles of membership to the workplace community as follows:

1. Contribution: All organizational participants are 'members.' All members, wherever they are in the organizational circle, contribute to the well-being of their co-members and the workplace community. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Two)

2. Motivation: Members (1) are competent to perform, (2) are challenged to perform, (3) are personally and collectively empowered to take action, and (4) feel they and their work are significant to the overall achievement of the organization. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Three)

3. Decisioning: Decisions are made in the organization through consideration of the three bottom lines: human, social, and financial. The identification of potential long-term outcomes for the organization, as well as for the internal and external customers and the community, are central to the decisioning process. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Four)

4. Relationship: For all members, the 'relational approach' is basic in working with others. It is the responsibility of every member to establish connecting relationships that work and that add energy to the individual, the group, and the organization. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Five)

5. Leadership: Chosen, assigned leader-members still lead. Leadership happens at all levels, and every member has the potential to be a catalyst for achievement and an agent for change. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Six)

6. Accountability: Members are willingly and individually responsible and accounable for working toward organizational goals. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Seven)

7. Advocacy: Members willingness to promote co-members and the workplace community positively influences the performance of individuals, groups, and the organization. (For detailed discussion see Chapter Eight)

She argues that the principles of membership when accepted as the way to work throughout the organization, encourage members to share a common purpose, vision, and goals; stimulate interactive energy; and create the possibility that members can and will accept the urgency of performance as a personal responsibility.

I higly recommend.

This book is essential for general surgery board review, and helpful for the intern to study.
