The best seles book
Hi, This is the best book I ever red on selling. In this book writer gives what you need to make more sales.

Finest Technical approach to selling I have ever read
John Lawhon isolates the exact prinicples of selling that many other authors have attempted to study, but adds such great depth. This book makes you proud to be in the business of selling. He blows away the more well known authors on sales, no problem.

Everyone is in the business of selling. Needed resource.
Everyone is in the business of selling. Mr. Lawhon describes what makes good salesmen good. It is based on his years of experience in selling and his observation that 15% of the salesmen did 90% or more of the sales volume. When he retired from business, he set out to find out what distinguishes one from the other. Once you read this book, you will appreciate the value that a good salesman brings to the process and you will be very intolorant of the bad ones. If only they would read this book or get out of sales, the world would be a better place.

Innovative Learning Techniques you won't find elsewhere!
As a pilot examiner and instructor myself (and without financial consideration from the authors) I wholeheartedly endorse this book for all instrument students. I recently taught a ground school where I recommended the students purchase the book. All agreed that it was easy to read and thorough in content. Learning techniques in here aren't found in other books. It takes the instrument flight and plans it first, then gives the reader tips for using navigation systems including GPS. I have recommended this book dozens of times since I discovered it in 1991. Then, the first edition helped me through my own instrument rating. It is a very valuable resource for instructors, too, with tips for instructors peppered throughout.

I would have given five stars, but I found a slight error in some of the new material regarding TAFs (3rd edition), page 46. This easily slipped past someone and an addendum should be inserted. He used one too many zeros on some of the cloud examples and a reference to 1822 should have been "from 1800 zulu to 2200 zulu".

I shant, however, throw the baby out with the bath water. 99.9% of the book is extrodinatry.

Excellent
This book should be required reading after the Gleim manual. Gleim teaches you how to pass the written and this book teaches you the reality of flying. Excellent choice.


Geology of National Parks

Book good, not great
The provided great geologic information. The colorplates of the parks were nice, but it would be better if the whole book was in color, and if they had pictures of all the parks. A good buy if your intrested in National Parks or geology.

A good basic text for the vacationing geologist
Harris et al. have produced a weighty tome that will appeal to the geologist on vacation who wants to get more out of the National Park experience. There are plenty of maps and cross-sections to interest the informed reader, particularly the increasing number of retired geologists. Unfortunately there is not enough in the way of more modern data such as reflection seismic, potential fields or, surprisingly, geothermal data. Also, considering the price, more color satellite images would have been appreciated. One point: I am not sure how much this book would appeal to the lay reader, whose enjoyment of the National Park system would be considerably enhanced by knowledge of the underlying geologic processes that produced the beautiful scenery.
