Go-to

This book changed my life profoundly by altering my perception of myself and the people around me. The school system rewards kids who can remember things, but being able to regurgitate facts in an exam does not by any means guarantee a successful career or life. The kids who are artistic, mechanically talented, emotionally perceptive, or naturally intuitive, will be branded "losers" by the education system if they don't do well in exams, even though these skills are at _least_ as valuable as memory. The world would be a much better place if everyone read Kiyosaki's masterpiece.

I have the Info-TO-GO veterinary handouts for canine and feline and I think they are wonderful!! I can make it so that they are produced on my clinic's letterhead, and personalize them for my client's individual needs. They are very informative and helpful for the client, and so fast and easy, I can produce them while they wait. It helps the client feel like I have taken the time to get them specific information, which they like, and it helps them to educate themselves so they feel like they are doing something to help their pet. It also gives them a little better of an understanding about what is going on with their pet, and why I am treating the animal the way I am.

Five years ago, this book taught me to play Go. I have read its 92 pages many times since. Is it a great Go book? For what it is, yes. Consider it the manual that should come with a Go board. It tells you how to play, and gives just enough insite to think, "hey, there's more to this whole Go thing than meets the eye.

I will cherish my copy always.

Read this wonderful book. It'll make you laugh about the halarious roles that each of the characters play. Both child and adult will want to read it over and over again!

This book written by the late Professor Havilah Babcock can only be described as a classic of its day.(Although honestly, any of his titles qualify for the same description.) Some may be offended by what seems to be a mild racism,ISthere such athing as "mild racism") but it is nessary to keep in mind the times in which Babcock lived and wrote...The series of stories/aricles/essays that make up this book capture a almost gone subculture of the South and do so in a way only someone who both lived in it and loved it dearly could do. The writing almost totally deal with one of two subjects: quail hunting and fishing in lowcountry South Carolina, with a side trip or two to the love of dogs, and just plain old gentle happy memories of a man who loved the life he had and wanted people to know he loved it...In the years to come I have no doubts that this book will be remember as the classic it is, and it will become more widely read, and if all that truly comes to pass, it couldn't happen to a better book

Residents of the San Francisco Bay Area will welcome Kids' Adventures Around San Francisco Bay: Educational Places To Go, Things To Do, And Classes To Take In The North Bay, Peninsula, Silicon Valley, East Bay, And Santa Cruz, a book packed with ideas for visits and repeat visits to Bay Area attractions which are kid-friendly. The attractions chosen here help kids to learn new things, covers the entire Bay Area, and includes related follow-up activities to reinforce learning. These attributes plus an attention to budget-minded trips makes this a much more accessible travel guide for the entire family.

PBS viewers may recognize Frances Weaver from her "Midlife Musings" segments. A middle-aged widow, she encourages her contemporaries to go out and enjoy the world. This slender volume speaks to those who dream of exploring far-off (and not so far-off) places, but who lack confidence in their skills for coping with life away from home and familiar surroundings. With specific advice (start by exploring your own hometown) Weaver affirms that the real purpose of travel is to expand your horizons. This book would make a pleasant gift for a person newly widowed, divorced, or empty nester. Reader beware! This book motivated me to take a spur of the moment bargain excursion to London.

This is currently the last of four books written by Janice Kim and Jeong Soo-hyun. The first two volumes are designed to take a newcomer to the game of Go and help them achieve a modest but significant level of competence. The third volume is best suited to the player who has achieved some comfort with hand-to-hand combat and is ready to approach the more complex tactical and strategic levels of the game. This volume focuses on the middle game, where territory is truly lost or gained. A player must walk a tightrope between strategy and tactics in this phase while balancing attack and defense.

There is so much going on the board during the middle game that it is genuinely difficult to write a book that teaches more than a single facet of playing the middle game. This can make studying frustrating. What Kim and Soo-hyun have done is written an introduction to the middle game that, while it does not dig deep into the layers of complexity, provides a framework whereby the student can determine where best to focus. In doing so, they have achieved something unique.

The first half of the book focuses on the middle game itself. It opens with a section on invasion and reduction, followed by further material on battle strategies, attack, and defense. The second half discusses life and death. This includes the making of living shapes, the art of killing groups of stones, and handling capturing races. There is also a very good discussion on Ko fighting which goes into surprising detail. As is true of the entire series, the discussion is easy to understand, and examples are plentiful.

I should point out that the apparent organization of the book is a bit deceptive. The nature of the material is such that some serendipity is inevitable. Discussion of principles is mixed in with a lesson about a particular attack or tesuji. As such, this book needs to be read several times to get all of its contents fixed in one's mind. Some might consider this a fault, but I know of almost no other book that sets out to cover what this one does without falling victim to the same problem. For the player who understands that most improvement comes from hard work, this book is a real blessing. Highly recommended.

I bought the book to prepare myself for my son's entrance to Japanese preschool and found a wealth of cultural insights about the roles of Japanese mothers and Japanese schools. Based on classroom observations in both urban and rural settings and with an extensive bibliography, it is an academic work which can also be useful to foreign parents with children entering Japanese schools,

Learning to Let Go touched my heart and helped me loosen my grip on a child that was a God send to our family through adoption. He was five months old when he came into our lives and after years of trying to have and child, adoption procedures, and many emotions, I was determined that nothing was going to take him away, not even growing up. My husband and I had both been only children, there would be no aunts, uncles or cousins and probably no more children. "Over protection" was an understatement. No one could interfeer with the family that had been created. Carol's and Elisa's book made growing up an acceptable reality and continues to help me untie the apron.
