Across from Emory University, in Atlanta, there used to be a store called Horton's. Over the entry were the words: IF WE DON'T HAVE IT, YOU DON'T NEED IT! The same could be said of "Testing the Waters." Ms Culbreath and Ms Neal have compiled a veritable feast of information for the career seeking teen. "Testing the Waters" is used frequently by the young people who frequent my study. It is extensive, accurate, and a veritable atlas of the roads to a successful career. The authors have done a wonderful thing in providing this tool. I cannot recommend it enough.

My teenage daughter has read several books prior to selecting a college and setting career goals. This is the best one of the bunch in my opinion. It is thoughfully prepared, user-friendly, and has some excellent information. Invaluable!

I bought this book for a friend's daughter who is getting ready to enter the workforce and she and her friends have found the book helpful.It has helped prepare them for a job, and give them a sense of what to exprect and how to develop skills needed.

This is a great tool written by a lady who was THERE in the darkness! Finally something written by someone who knows what it's like to suffer from depression, not just a dried up piece of psycho-babble! Kudos to Anankha for not only surviving, but for helping lead others back into life.

The true gift lies in the fact that you aren't just given a bunch of 'tools'. You yourself are the tool to healing. No treatment (as in therapy). You are being trained to take back your power to heal and be whole. A tremendously enriching experience. Yours forever to keep. Yours to share.

I've looked for a way to get "mySelf" back for years and was getting nowhere,everything from antidepresants to psycopharmacoligists and therapy. You name it I did it,or tried it! I'm coming back thanks to Ananka

I really enjoyed this book -- especially how Chip helps Bobby Bollinger with basketball skills and in getting along with his older brother.I recommend this book to everyone.

In the pre-raphaelite spirit of detailed craftsmanship this accomplished range of Christina Rossetti's poetry is illustrated by fine works of art that includes paintings by her brother and other pre-raphaelite painters, all contrasting with today's ugly, imitative fashions.

(Please note: This book is not entitled Passion and Devastion but Passion and Devotion)

"Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens" is the German translation of the second Harry-Potter-book. I think I don't have to tell you anything about the story - see the reviews of the English version for details (besides: who wants to read more about the content of such a book than the back page offers - it would spoil some of the fun since the Potter books are in part a crime story!).

The translation is - judging from my reading experience - well done and worth reading. The language is not too complicated so the book qualifies as reading stuff for a foreigner wishing to practice his German reading skills. I didn't find any translation mistakes - the language sounded genuine German and was vivid and fun to read. The names (always a problem when translating) are not altered, so some of the flair that comes with the nicely selected names of the original is lost to the non-English reader. But this second book shows that this is the right way to go: there is a name-letter-puzzle which plays a key role in this book and translating that one would have been a very hard task indeed.

So the translation receives 5 stars, all well earned for the content as for the translation.

My final note goes to the discussion if this book is for adults as well as teenagers or not: anyone waiting for deep insights into the society, mankind and the world we live in will be disappointed when reading this book. But it is by far the best youth book I ever read, 350 fast pacing pages and I never regretted that I bought it. Nobody whants to read Joyce all the time. And when I turn too light reading stuff, I expect quality as well. Here is where this book has its place in the adult market.

There are many good collections of the poetry of John Keats. Why would you be interested in this particular book, titled "Keats - Truth and Imagination"?

Each poem is accompanied by a painting, often by an artist inspired by Keats' poetry. The paintings are sensual and exquisite, complementing the beauty of Keats' language. This attractive, little book is printed on glossy paper. It is moderately priced and would make an excellent gift.

Amusingly, the book's printing history reads like the credits for a major Hollywood production: Created and Produced by Flame Tree Publishing, part of The Foundry Creative Media Company Limited, published (1999) by Gramercy Books, a trademark of Random House Value Publishing, and written (Introduction, Author's Note, and Chronology) and compiled by K. E. Sullivan. The ISBN is 0-517-16101-X for my 1999 edition.

Sullivan's compilation is quite good; it consists of many of Keats' most popular work as well as some lesser known poems. My only disappointment was that Sullivan decided (or was compelled) to present only a short extract from "The Eve of St. Agnes", one of my favorites.

This collection includes several of Keats' Odes (Grecian Urn, Melancholy, Nightingale, Psyche, and To Autumn) - Fancy - Happy is England! I could be content - How many bards gild the lapses of time - Keen, fitful gusts are whispering here and there - La Belle Dame sans Merci - O solitude! if I must with thee dwell - Ode - On a Leander Gem which Miss Reynolds, my Kind Friend, Gave Me - On First Looking into Chapman's Homer - On the Grasshopper and the Cricket - Stanzas - To Hope - To Leigh Hunt, Esq. - To one who has been long in city pent - and the longer poem Isabella, or The Pot of Basil - and extracts from The Fall of Hyperion and from The Eve of St. Agnes.

John Keats is not a difficult poet, but occasionally the reader may encounter some unfamiliar references to mythology or somewhat archaic words. However, I am quite convinced that the attractive format of this book, the beautiful art work, and the careful selection of poems makes this small book an ideal gift for readers either familiar or unfamiliar with poetry. For that matter, I suggest you consider giving this book to yourself.

this book is the best..i love kevin and this book made me love him more..i reccomend it to all his fans and fans of baseball in general

When I ordered this book I was worried that I may have been straying too far into the realm of Luftwaffe esoterica. Perhaps so, but Vogt's book is an immensely useful supplement to any other book on the Bf109 on the market today.

Vogt deals with the after-market accessories (in modern parlance) for the Bf109 methodically and clearly, with judicious use of photographs, diagrams and reproductions from the contemporary Oberkommando der Luftwaffe parts listings. The latter are particularly interesting, especially for the model maker. Vogt manages to cover the plethora of G and K model Bf109s succinctly and provides a particularly useful listing of the Rustsatze kits known to have been used with each type.

Several remarkable points emerge, which I have not encountered in other sources. The use of red paint on the main-gear oleos and wheels to denote an aircraft equipped with the MW50 boost system is new to me and Vogt provides a contemporary colour photo to demonstrate this. I was fascinated to learn that that the full tropicalisation kit for the Bf109 not only included the well-known tropical dust filter for the supercharger intake, but also a comprehensive survival kit (with sandals!) and a rifle tucked away in the rear fuselage. The books is full of this sort detail, and I hope that future volumes emerge covering other types, especially the Fw190 series.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone seriously interested in the technical details of Luftwaffe aircraft, but especially the Bf109 enthusiast and model maker.

Each time I get a new Hispanic student with limited English proficiency, I purchase a copy of this book for him. My ESL students are all incarcerated men with various educational backgrounds. Even those students who have very limited skill in reading Spanish have found this book helpful. One student carried the removable fold-up phrase card in his pocket daily for a couple of months. I would not suggest using this text as the sole teaching material in a classroom setting, but it can serve as an invaluable teaching/learning aid.

This is an excellent book for teaching hispanic children and/or adults to learn alot of basic English language. It gives good examples and utilizes them in situations so the pupil may learn at their own pace.

I have taught Spanish for a long time and this is excellent for the Adult students I am now teaching English.
