Ever felt like you've reached the end? That things are as bad as they can be? That it just isn't worth it? So have the people who shared their thoughts in this book. And by reading their shared experiences and struggles, you can perhaps see the light at the end of the tunnel. Like the other books in this series, Volume 2 offers encouragement that can satisfy your soul at just the right moment. I read these letters to my kids in hopes that they will always "persist."

Inspiring! Encouraging! Amazing!

This book will definitely convince you of the accuracy of the old motto: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

As someone who has run into her own share of big brick walls as well as a few incredible successes, I can guarantee this will encourage anyone currently suffering his or her own storm or inspire anyone dithering over a decision to pursue a dream. The book remains a frequently consulted personal source of inspiration to me, as I'm in the midst of a new business venture right now!

absolutely fabulous! I have read all 4 books and still go back to read them again. I get such inspiration from them and know if they can overcome their struggles, so can I.

The author puts the story of the past into words we can understand. Historical figures were "people" just like us with the same problems, sadnesses, troubles, and self-doubt. These "letters" tell us of their discouragement and how they moved past it into success. From their "words" we can perhaps find just what we need to face our dark clouds of adversity. My kids enjoyed each letter and were spurred on to find out even more about some of these people from our past. A great teaching tool...

Storms of Perfection IV is a great book. Every historical hero in this book has a story that inspires and captivates. Each story offers knowledge and courage in obtaining our goals. A must read!

Often we feel the "heros" found in history are far beyond our reach. It's as though we could never accomplish the things we read about them doing. "Storms 4" changes all that. It places the responsibility for future history directly in our laps. After all, our historical hero figures also had to do laundry, feed kids and go to work, right? Read it... you may end up a hero, too!

This is another in the series of books edited by the Koegel team and associates. As always, excellent information provided in an easily read style. As in all ABA, there are data-based decisions to make.

The title of this book does not convey the breadth of topics covered relevant to children of many different ages, the complete description and explanation of a wide variety of behavioral interventions along with expected results. Also good list of other sources of scholarly articles. One slight critique would be that a greater use of footnotes might have made the text a bit more user friendly.

Beautiful concept, beautifully done using the Universal Rider Waite and in a lovely large box that contain them. Each card
has a smaller Universal rider waite on it and beside it, an accompanying meditation.
For the tarot lover, a wonderful tool for deepening your connection with the 78 cards. Using the affirmations are a great idea for meditation purposes and to gain emotional clarity
when doing a reading or a one a day card method. Deck comes with an introduction and explanatory information booklet by the author that is included.

This oversized deck will please all who are into self-exploration through the Tarot. The deck is illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith and recolored by Mary Hanson-Roberts.

Each of the 78-cards has a small rendition of the images from the Universal Waite Tarot Deck. The larger portion of each card is devoted to appropriate affirmations to go along with the imagery of that particular card. Appropriate, in that the affirmations, mirror quite nicely the popular interpretation of the Tarot. Text writer, Sally Hill does an outstanding job of writing affirmations for each of the 78 cards.

There can be some very difficult images to handle in the Tarot. For example, the Ten of Swords, is traditionally depicted as ten swords through the back of an individual, indicative of treachery of some kind around the querent, or a feeling that all are against an individual. It is hard to see anything positive when looking at that image. But Hill manages to take this image and show the positive chances for growth to occur under these trying circumstances. She assigns the card affirmations, such as, "I am dealing with negative thoughts that pin me down; I am seeking release from inner confusion and conflicts", and, "I am finding ways to recover my energy and rise to new life". Also, the Court Cards are thought by some to be the most difficult cards to interpret in the deck. The affirmations Hill associates with the Court Cards provide greater insights into these cards.

Using Tarot Affirmations promotes a greater understanding of Tarot imagery and will give depth to the traditional meanings behind the cards. This deck is useful for daily self-analysis, meditation, or to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Tarot. Beginners and advanced students alike, will benefit and grow from the positive messages displayed on these Tarot cards.

We live in a rush-rush world filled with a myriad of activities that demand our time and challenge our priorities. More and more people are talking about balance, life-work balance. A theologian and a corporate executive (a nice balance in itself) got together and wrote a little book that may bring you some serenity and perspective.

Life is Not Work is one of those little books you often see next to the cash register in book stores or gift shops. An impulse buy. Except this one is more expensive ... It offers more than just little quotations, though. The little essays, personal stories, make this book a cross between a quote book and a Chicken Soup for the Soul volume.

The authors bring us 137 of these short, easy-to-read essays, organized into twenty categories. Listing the categories will give you a sense of the content you'll discover: Balance, Time, Work, Living, Play, Spirituality, Wholeness, Empowerment, Strength, Joy, Stress, Materialism, Repose, Wonder, Nurture, Happiness, Authenticity, Integrity, Community, and Fulfillment. Have I whetted your appetite? Consider the background and perspective of the authors and slide into your easy chair to think about the balance in your life. Forewords from the authors will help you understand who they are and where they're "coming from." A bibliography completes the book, giving the reader an extra sense of connection to the messages and their sources.

This book will rest comfortably, waiting for its next opportunity, next to the bed in our family's guest room.

Be my guest. Read this book gently and contemplate your life-work balance.

Temple College in Temple, Texas was awarded a $600K Grant to update the skills of the workers in industry. The math skills of the existing and new employees are exceptionally low. The difference between normal math as I call it and the aproach of the "Mathematics for Machine Technology" is that the students do not know where to apply the math that they have learned. With Mathematics for Machine Technology the aproach is applied mathmatics. This math is applied every day in the industry and now the math becomes functional. This is a great teaching aid to use by itself or to complement the math that is now being taugh. I bring measuring instruments such as verniers, caliphers, micromenters and others into the teaching enviroment to stress where the math is used.
