I found this book in the library and kept renewing over, finally deciding to purchase it. I learned Gross Anatomy in medical school this year, but found it difficult to translate what I saw in dissections back to the live person. This book does a beautiful job explaining relationships in surface anatomy with color photos and hand drawings. It includes relationships with arteries, nerves and joints. Most beneficual are the explanations of how to actually palpate the structures in physical exam. This is an excellent resource for medical students.

My daughter loves this series, and she's only 15 months old! The pop ups are sturdier than you'd expect, but we have used some scotch tape. These books have taught her animals sounds (farmyard) and many other things. I'm sure this one will help with her colors.

I bought this book for my son when he was 18 months old. He fell in love with the vibrant colors and pop-up creatures immediately! At 27 months he still asks for the "parrot" book regularly. We love this book so much we buy them for our friends' children and have completed our set of Snappy Pop-Up books with the other four.

My 10 month old niece enjoys this book at least 3 times a day...and has ever since she was only 3 months old. Although, she has about 25 excellent age-appropriate books, this is her favorite! The pop-up paper is sturdy, and the illustrations are bright, clear and simple.

The price is high but worth it.

Very well organized and written. Useful equations and Figures. A Must-Have for the CMOS RFIC designer.

I can't imagine what I would do after having seen the World by age 21. Robin chose to head for the mountains of Montana where he and Pattie found their creator and learned life's lessons the hard way. At the end of the book he hints that he wants to sell the ranch, buy a large teaching crusier, and once again sail the South Pacific.
I hope he made it.

Robin continues to live and grow in his quest to be a husband, father, and spiritual person. Very painful to read about some of the family's hard lessons in building their home.

I contacted Robin several years ago wondering whatever happened to the rest of the story. He was very gracious to respond (twice!) and those notes, as well as his family newsletter are proudly stored with my copies of his books.

I know many people pursue truth and faith. Few have written about their journey in such a transparent, warts-and-all manner.

After reading Dove, I was anxious to find out what happened toRobin, Patty and Quimby. This book took us through their trials and triumphs as he and Patty found the Lord and learned to live off the land. It us not full of bible thumping rhetoric, just the story of a young couple trying to find what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives and the hard work that went into that quest. After reading Dove, I was so anxious to find out what happened to them. Now that I have read Home is the Sailor, I am left with enormous admiration for them and I STILL want to know how things are and what they have done since the book was published. Robin was an inspiration to me when I read Dove and Home is the Sailor didn't disapoint me one little bit. My copy of Dove is in tatters from constant reading and I have loaned out Home so often I have lost it and am heartbroken to find it is out of publicationl

I read DOVE in 1973, shortly after it was published, and I will eternally thank Robin Lee Graham for introducing me to the sailing life! As a boy not much younger than Graham himself I was captivated by his story, by his daring in taking a 24-foot sloop across trackless oceans, by his exotic ports of call, and by the romance which fueled his ambition.

Robin Lee Graham was like a lot of baby boomers, but when he dropped out at age 16, he dropped into exotic places like Fanning Island, Papeetee, and the Indian Ocean. More travelogue than sailing guide, DOVE gave it's readers glimpses of places rarely visited and virtually unknown at the time. Thirty years later in the Internet and Cellular World it's hard to picture just how far-flung Graham's travels really were. Graham sailed three-quarters of the way around the world without a 2-way radio, and without SatNav, GPS, Loran, EPIRB, or even a real life raft, in a boat barely bigger than a bedroom. He finished the trip in a slightly larger, better equipped boat.

Graham was a reluctant sailor who was happiest ashore with his wife, Patti (who he met along the way in Fiji). Revisiting DOVE, I found that Graham felt overly pressured (by his father and by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, both of which were financing the trip) to complete the circumnavigation. His strongest motivation to sail on was his wife, who played global hopscotch to stay always one port of call in the future. His best reminiscences always include her.

Graham closed the circle, but I had to wonder if he would not have been happier, like Moitessier, just to sail off into the sunset and find his own way.

Years ago, when I was growing up, I read the account of Robin Lee Graham as the young man who sailed around the world alone, and also got married along the way, in three installments of the National Geographic, circa 1965-1970. These articles so affected me that I also wanted to sail around the world. However, as I read this book it soon became apparent to me that this book is also an account of a true life love story, between Robin and Patti, both with simple values and needs, in sharp contrast to most people who are primarily concerned with money and social status. They were deep in love and would, and did, do anything for each other.

Robin alone, and later with Patti, sailed to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, I think they must have enough memories for 20 lifetimes. The writing style makes you feel that you are right there with them.

The pictures included in this book are poor black and white, but as I remember, the National Geographic articles included excellent color photographs, it would do you well to find those issues.

As for me, I never did get to sail around the world, a little thing called life intervened, the grind and all that! I did take a sailing class through a local university in the summer of '77, even got an "A" in the class, but this pales in comparison to the daring sailing of Robin Graham. Sometimes, during trips to Florida I gaze at ocean-going yachts at wharfs, and yes, the dream is still alive, thanks to Dove

Dove is an absolutely encouraging book about a 16 year old boy (just like me) that sailed around the world in a tiny sailboat. It is not only a book for people who fancy sailing, in fact it is rather a love story than a traveller's account, because he meets a girl (Patti) in the Fiji Islands, falls in love with her and marries in Durban, Africa. However, the story is fascinating, motivating and vivid (you can realize and feel just what Robin was feeling). He accounts the fears he encounters, together with the desperation and harsh loneliness that he struggles against because of the fact that patti wasn't with him during the circumnavigation.
It is a good book that I find quite immature because Robin went into the wild seas not even with a GPS, cell phone or Internet, which now a days we take for granted. All the same, the boy's attitude is a highly positive one, full of bravery and that should serve as an example for the future generations to go.
I've read that in some reviews, the reviewers succesfully contacted Robin Lee Graham. Then, i would really appreciate it if somebody tells me something about his current life.

Overall, I felt somewhat disappointed.

In fact, the book did clearly communicate - 'image is everything', and it provided pretty good explanation on detail principles/aspects of image. However, those principles actually are pretty common sense and generic, so I was looking forward to 'how to' section, especially how to link all principles together and provides a clear plan and tool on the application of the integrated persona principles. Most of the business examples in the book only demonstrated a single aspect. Yet when it comes down to application/how to section, the author only spent 11 pages on 'how-to' and those how-to are still generic. I don't know whether the author is just want to show 'the principle'. So when you really want to apply it, you need to contact with them for tools and consultation. However, if that's the case, then I don't want to buy this book because I want to self-help and self-improve.

Net, I found this book is good at theory/principle explanation but didn't provide a clear method on 'how-to' business application. Recommend 'not to buy' for marketing/brand people.

The importance of a company's image as a corporate asset is immense. The Persona Principle clearly demonstrates how top management at any firm can ensure that their entire organization live and breath a good corporate image. Through the use of case studies, and proven image-marketing techniques, the authors will help you build a step-by-step " Persona Plan " to help your company capitalize on the most important and powerful asset it owns.

The books that are out there about image tend to be turgid, academic, and industry specialized. This book fragments the mold to propose a simple and intelligent argument about image, organized in clear (actually coherent and logical - not just) steps. Overlook the occasionally shoddy writing and lower school imagery, and you'll find a treasure of insights into the elusivity of image-formation. I have been known to sleep with my book. You may too!! whew.

Showing the best of the game, the Angelic players guide gives so many ideas on playing a truly angelic character. But, you really need the core rules book, and the Infernal Players guide. Its also a good idea to have Liber Canticorum, the book of songs. Otherwise your character will only have the few powers in the Angelic Player's Guide. So, while its a good book, you need more than just the book to successfully play In Nomine.

that's right, i said "ever". this is the most captivating, best illustrated, and most useful book for In Nomine that i have seen. not only does it really let players and GMs figure out angelic life, trials, and tribulations, but it makes anyone wonder what those demons are talkin' 'bout. personally, it made me turn from a GM who never really thought about playing, into a psycho-smart GM who would kill for the chance to use my Ofanite of Creation (in service to Yves, of course). the only other book that has even close to this much to offer to IN enthusiasts is Revelations II: The Marches, for its Sorcerer rules and its Marches info (buy both!).
