Very impressive, most books you will find on this sensitive subject are written for the magician, But most of these tricks wont be done on stage. I actually thought I was safe with a chained wallet. This book shows how the criminals REALLY do it. If you were an aspiring magician looking for some new tricks this will benefit you because rather than just giving you some silly gimmicks it shows the very basic tactics, in diversion, team work, and manipulation and allows you to be creative.

This book is a good step intro understanding the principles of Pickpocketing, and helps any magician on their way to adding a powerful new twist to any magical routine. I HIGHLY reccomend puchasing this book.

This is a book based on real life experiences. The author is an adoptive parent himself who recounts for the reader the emotions of an unwed mother and a childless couple, both before and after adoption takes place. It is a realistic look at the highs and lows of those involved in the process, the love at the center of giving and receiving the newborn, and the happy ending for all. Charmingly painted by the author from personal photographs, this is a wonderful book for children and adults alike, one of particular value to those adopting or considering adopting. A must read!

What a wonderful book! Every attorney who handles private adoption should give this book to new parents. Any obstetrician's office where a child is making important decisions about her own life and that of a baby she is carrying would do well to make this resource available. My husband and I are giving a copy to all of our family members who have adopted. We have also checked to be sure that the local crisis pregnancy center has a copy. The book can be used on so many levels. In addition to those listed on the fly-leaf, I think it could be very useful in helping the young friends of adopted children understand one way that families can be made. Dr. Willis' artwork is also very expressive, and supports his words in such a way that enables the story to be told in an easy-to-understand manner. His characters' faces and body language do as much to show their sadness and joy as any of the written text. The painting of his daughter on her swing makes a great concluding statement that assures Dr. Willis' readers that indeed this family will live "as happily ever after as 'ever after' ever really is."

I read the book in two days!! Very hard to put down! I can't wait for the next book to come out. The only downfall of this book is poor editing. Wrong words put in place of right words, punctuation problems, spacing issues etc. Hopefully the next book will be given the proper attention. A+++ For Timothy Wayne Stebens!!

This book is ideal for the fantasy reader with a religous background. The author takes his personal knowledge of the areas mentioned in the book and greats a addictive story of the devils game.

This is one of the most unique, practical, and encouraging books I've ever read on parenting. It's a dangerous world for our kids--dangerous physically, emotionally, and morally. How can parents nurture their children into well-adjusted, responsible adults when negative peer pressures constantly pull them in opposite directions? In Trusting Enough to Parent, Wayne Hastings demonstrates, in highly doable ways, how parents can replace fear with trust--and positive action. He provides practical methods and true stories demonstrating the real-life effectiveness of those methods. I especially like how he helps parents identify, appreciate, and work constructively with the unique personality temperament of each individual child. If I could give this book SIX stars, I would!

I found the book Trusting Enough to Parent to be quite enlightening. I read the book with few expectations, just hoping that I could gain some wisdom about raising children in this chaotic and unpredictable world in which we live. Mr. Hastings has the rare ability to teach through scripture, life experience, and acquired wisdom and knowledge. He uses his own life experiences to set the stage for each chapter and then draws upon scripture as he backs up his main points. He, in no way, makes the reader feel guilty or like he/she is "doing it all wrong." Rather, he spells out his points and uses examples (both biblical and lay) to bring home his ideas. The topics he addresses include: trusting enough to trust, to enable, to prepare, to love, to listen, to know your children, to understand your children, to confront your children, to discipline your children, to pray for your children, to let go of your children, and to get started. I love the way each chapter is based in scripture but keeps one foot firmly grounded in the realities of daily life. Lastly, I found the "Think and Talk About It" section at the end of each chapter to be especially helpful as I continually attempt to assimilate and integrate his ideas into my parenting style. This is a book that I will refer to often as my children continue to grow and mature and new issues evolve for both them and myself.

How do I begin to describe the power of this book? I was at the Oulu library (Finland), spotted an attractive paperback whose title promised something more than light intellectual fare, and I proceeded to read the first page. I must have been there, standing in the middle of the library, absorbed, for something like 30 minutes solid before my wife (who'd been anxiously searching for me) tore me away me away from the most fulfilling "conversation" I've had in yonks. This happened to be my first and most formative encounter with Booth's delightful, witty and utterly engaging manner. I'll never forget it. The powerful insights coupled with a disarming style is one of the many features that has made Booth a favorite among my intellectual friends (in the form of books). Anyone who reads a single page of this fascinating book will recognize that he or she is in the presence of an accomplished rhetorician. It is a pleasure and an inspiration to "dialogue" with such a writer-thinker, deeply engaged as he is with a subject that he loves so passionately and shares so eloquently.

Mr. Booth's book is exquisite--a thoughtful contemplation of what it means to teach English, how one teacher went about doing it, and his reflections on his successes and failures (not too many failures in here; would that we could all teach so well). I felt inspired after reading this book, just in time for the beginning of a new semester, and 50 new students!

These two crazy Canucks are hilarious! The jokes are timeless and the atmosphere of a radio show cannot be beaten. If you like comedy you will like this series.

Senator Morse is one of our country's great historical figures. Mr. Drukman conveys the fascinating history of a man who was at the center of the cold war and foresaw a great many of the tragedies that unfolded in american foreign policy during the 1960's- most notably Vietnam. He was an outstanding politician- they just don't make em like this anymore.

Drukman explores nearly every facet of this incredible leader. Further, he does so with clear, thoughtful writing which illuminates the fascinating figures in every chapter. After researching Wayne Morse for three years myself (for a documentary film), I can honestly say that he is the only politician I know of who never once strayed from principle or betrayed the public trust. Indeed he sought to save America from those who did.

Karlin's characters bring to life the messy moral and political landscape of the 'New World.' The murky waters of the Southern Maryland swamps are an all-too-appropriate analogy for the confusion of natives and settlers in negotiating an unstable environment. The dangerous and unpredictable setting underscores the violence humans turn on each other in any/every setting, regardless of religion or ethnicity. Jacob Lombroso's band of misfits, the Wesorts, represents a circle of individuals who wish to live outside the existing social boundaries. This tale of their journey to establish a place for themselves amidst the turmoil and violence around them creates an alternative to traditional narratives of "the first Americans" by introducing previously marginalized voices: a slave, an indentured servant, an English girl stolen from her settler parents and raised by Indians, and so on.

One of the unique accomplishments of this book is to reinforce the violence of the religious paradigm by which our country was established. Readers find religion-both in America and in Lombroso's recollections of Europe-just as terrorizing a force as greed. Some of the most powerful passages-such as the journey of the dying Tyac's soul to the afterlife-emphasize the horrifying rape of souls which accompanied the Christians' rape of the land. Tawzin, a Piscataway Indian captured in his youth by the Catholics and returned to his homeland by Lombroso, best describes Christian conversion methods: "You place me in the dark, you take everything away from me, and in the dark and terrible emptiness in which you leave me, you put in Christ."

To me the book's most shining 'moment' is the presence of Cabbalist Jacob Lombroso and his obstinate resistance to the territorializing force of Christianity. ("God save me from your love," he tells a meddling priest.) His unstinting pursuit of tolerance and freedom for himself and his new community constitutes more of a heroicism to this reader than the greedy zeal of America's traditionally recognized forefathers. [The book mentions historic record of many of the characters, Lombroso included, and I'm not sure exactly where Karlin departs from the record.)

America's praise for the religiously persecuted in Europe who 'found refuge' in the New World always overlooks the persecution that the 'persecuted' inflicted on others when they got here. That Karlin's novel reminds readers of the territorializing instinct of religion is one of its greatest strengths, suggesting a natural place for it within the emerging Post-Colonial 'tradition' in literature. At the same time, this is in many ways a utopian novel, since it focuses on the determination of these early Americans--in the face of unending opposition-- to live in harmony.

The Wished-For Country is an original and inherently interesting novel by Wayne Karlin which is set in Maryland during early Colonial times, and opens in the year 1634. The interwoven tales of a carpenter, an indentured servant, an African slave and a Piscataway Indian who was kidnapped to England as a child blend in this evocative and masterful recreation of what it was like to live in the New World centuries past. The Wished-For Country is a superbly written, thoroughly engaging, and highly recommended historical novel.
