Transvaal Wild Flowers

Book Description

The Munich Oktoberfest is one of the largest and best-known public festivals in the world. Each year six million visitors attend, drinking more than five million liters of beer and consuming hundreds of thousands of Brathendl [roasted chicken], subsequently it's easy to lose track of things.

Sabine Käfer guides you to the places only known by insiders; she meets notable guests and explains the golden rules for an unforgettable time at the "Wiesn".

Referred to by the locals as the "Wiesn", this extravaganza celebrates its 172nd birthday in 2005. With an event of this scope, it is not unusual to miss the best parts. That is, unless you have an insider's perspective to point out the must-sees. This highly personal homage to Oktoberfest helps you make the most of this memorable experience, and contains tips on where to go, what to do, and how to do it.

Basic yet comprehensive.......2006-11-05

Sabine's guide was a valuable tool for me and my wife as we exerienced our first Oktoberfest in 2006. The pullout map was quite helpful when thumbing through a book wasn't practical.

Each tent is summarized with an insider's perspective (Sabine's husband manages a mid-sized tent). The rides are described and categorized. There are plenty of photos and tips throughout. The left side is written in German and the right side is in English, so the guide serves as a language tool as well.

The only thing missing is a secret password to be allowed entrance to her husband's elite tent. ;-)

ASIN: 0785289089
Release Date: 2007-02-06

Book Description

The success stories speak for themselves in this book from money maestro Dave Ramsey. Instead of promising the normal dose of quick fixes, Ramsey offers a bold, no-nonsense approach to money matters, providing not only the how-to but also a grounded and uplifting hope for getting out of debt and achieving total financial health.

Ramsey debunks the many myths of money (exposing the dangers of cash advance, rent-to-own, debt consolidation) and attacks the illusions and downright deceptions of the American dream, which encourages nothing but overspending and massive amounts of debt. "Don't even consider keeping up with the Joneses," Ramsey declares in his typically candid style. "They're broke!"

The Total Money Makeover isn't theory. It works every single time. It works because it is simple. It works because it gets to the heart of the money problems: you.

Good ideas, problematic presentation.......2007-10-21

I picked up a copy of the Total Money Makeover book from my local used bookstore after reading a number of good reviews. After giving it a read through I've found that the majority of the book is geared towards convincing the reader of a number of financial "truths" and very little is actually geared toward practical use.

I was very disappointed by the lack of diversity in the "real life stories" -- they all seemed to be caucasian, self-employed middle class conservative Christian individuals in which the wife was either a stay at home mom or a homemaker. I understand that this is a faith-based special interest book and this is the target audience, but I think the author's lack of diversity in the book undermines the intent of the book and may turn off readers of different ethnicities, family structures and employment status.

There is some good financial advice in the book: develop a cash budget, don't use credit cards and learn to save by living below your means. I like the notion of the "snowball" debt repayment plan, and I think it makes sense if readers need motivation to establish good debt repayment habits.

All in all, I would recommend either buying the book used (on trade credit from your local used bookstore preferably) or borrowing a copy from your local library before deciding to purchase a copy.

Amazing.......2007-10-19

This book is full of common sense. Get out of debt, live on less than what you make so you can save for the future, etc. The difference is that this book lays out a plan in small, achievable steps that give you quick successes that motivate you towards your goal. It also includes testimonies of people who have started out in debt and have gone through the program and it has worked for them. Results matter, theories don't.

Because it's so obvious once you've read it, it makes you wonder why you haven't been doing this already - the reason is motivation and being overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. So this book removes both of those obstacles. Excellent program and excellent results.

Great Pre-Marital Advice.......2007-10-15

I have always been interested in my personal finances, but have had very little guidance. My mother bought this book for me a couple months ago, along with a couple other Ramsey books, right before I got married. I am 23 and my husband is 24 and I think I read this book at the perfect juncture in my life. Dave Ramsey inspired us to start our marriage off on the right financial foot by practicing the baby steps.

We paid off $10,000 in student loan and car debt and are now debt free. We have $8,000 saved up so far in our emergency fund. The next step is to set up retirement Roth IRAs, which we plan to do this week.

I would recommend this book to ANYONE, but especially to young people just starting out. This book is an excellent gift for recent college graduates, and I plan to give it to all my friends who are getting married soon.

The only reason I give the book 4 and not 5 stars is for the beginning section of the book which was so repetitive that I almost stopped reading. However, once Dave starts talking about the money myths and the 7 step program, the book became incredibly engrossing.

Excellent book, changed my life for the better.

Excellent book.......2007-10-14

I was able to read this book quickly and get a lot of information from it. I recommend it.

Not rocket science, but then again, most things worth doing aren't.......2007-10-04

If you are looking for a step-by-step guide to crawl out from under your financial rock, get control, and win with money, this is your book. Dave is a fantastic communicator, and part of that is his willingness to tell it like it is. If it's stupid, he calls it stupid; but always with the heart to see people change their lives for the better. Dave has said over and over that success with finances is only 20% knowledge, but 80% behavior. This book covers the basics of the head knowledge, but hopefully Dave's insights and the numerous personal narratives from real people who have implemented the plan and are winning with money will inspire you to change your behavior. If you need more convincing, just find his radio show or Web site and listen to how he helps people change their lives for the better.

This audio book is an excellent way to make a long commute shorter. Dave is both entertaining and informative. Very simple plan to financial wealth and an excellent way to reform your very way of life. Couldn't recommend if more. It is working and is inspiration for you and to others in your life who wonder how you are actually able to get ahead Not a quick or easy fix, but it will work if you have the patience. We did and now we live like no one else.

Dave Ramsey is my hero! He has honest, easy to follow advice. Best of all is that it really works. Dave takes you through each step and explains them totally. This is 100% common sense. My husband and I are almost through "baby step 3". We became "gazelle intense" and are looking forward to living DEBT FREE and building wealth and a happy retirement. We won't be reading "100 Ways to Prepare Alpo" in our retirement years. Thanks to Dave Ramsey and The Total Money Makeover.

Good Information .......2007-10-05

Good information in the workbook but really the same information as in the Total Money Makeover book, I recommend one or the other but not both books -- and I think Dave would agree!

Love, love, love this book!!!.......2007-08-23

Dave Ramsey teaches how to SIMPLY manage your money, develop a working budget and to become DEBT FREE!! It's a weird concept, especially for Americans, but since reading this book and taking Dave's Financial Peace University, my husband & I have our $1K emergency fund, pay cash for EVERYTHING, and so far have paid off over $5K in debt in just a few months. We will be completely debt free (except the house) within 2 years and plan to pay off the house w/in 7 years (21 years shorter than the mortgage note). That was something we could have NEVER wrapped our brains around in the past. Now, instead of working to pay Visa and Mastercard, we will be working to pay for our FUTURE!!

It's a great read and every person in the USA needs to read this book. I have no doubt, it would do amazing things for our ecomony!!

Not worth the purchase if you buy the book.......2007-08-08

I bought the Total Money Makeover Workbook along w/ the hardcover book, thinking it would be more 'hands-on'. It wasn't worth the extra cost. A lot of the exercises seemed written for children - fill in the blanks w/ words you read in the passages... really silly. Plus, all the necessary worksheets are in the hardcover book already, so the workbook didn't seem to give me anything new. Don't waste your money on the workbook.

Money Makeover Workbook is Helpful.......2007-08-02

If you're trying to dig yourself out of a debt nightmare or just want to get your finances in order, Dave Ramsey's books and advice are the way to go. Take the time to read his books - you won't be sorry.

very good insight.......2007-08-01

I just purchased the book along with the workbook. And I've also purchased the book on cd. Both explain things very well. My daughter and I are still in the working process.

Praise only!.......2001-07-30

Sue Gossett tells very detailed about each and every one of the Murphy movies and that's fine, but the book is merely a praise of Audie Murphy and not a journalistic effort. Don't expect to find any criticism of any of the films here - and they were certainly not all good movies! Anyway, if you want to know about the plots, dates of shooting and so on in cronological order, then the book is OK. If you want a more realistic description of the movies, look for "The Last of the Cowboy Heroes".

A great way to remember Audie Murphy.......2001-05-24

I live in Melbourne, Australia.It is impossible to find anything on Audie Murphy in this country. When I saw this book advertised I just had to have a copy. I think it has been well presented with a very obvious show of respect for a man who deserves our respect. There are little snippets of background stories which are good, but I would have loved to have read more about Audie the person behind the scenes. The positive and the not-so-positive. It is through these stories and memories that we can get to know him. Nevertheless, the book has a special place in my library, and recently they have been showing a few more of his movies on pay T.V. I simply pull out the book and read the reviews. Thank you Sue Gossett. I am not disappointed.

This book is just great!.......1999-05-27

I have been a fan of AUDIE MURPHY, since I saw the movie "THE DUEL AT SILVER CREEK" in the late fifties at a theater in Denmark, it was not shown here until then, but living here, and collecting filmstars at that time was a very tough hobby, because we did not see much material. However, I was very happy to learn from a friend, that a book was finally written about him, and I must say, that it has everything. A complete film-biography, with a very good picture from each one of them, together with his efforts under WW2, and what followed of honours etc. Besides all that, the author has even included poems and songs written by Audie, just amazing! In all, a great book, told by a very good author. Can only be recommended to all AUDIE MURPHY fans!

A "must have" for any Audie Murphy fan.......1998-11-23

This book is great!..It has everything, from his biography to complete reviews of each of his films (with photos), to his military awards and even a few selections from his poetry. All photos are of high quality.

Book Description

The correspondence of the Puritan divine Richard Baxter is an unusually rich source of evidence for seventeenth-century history, particularly the period's involved ecclesiastical history and its intellectual, cultural, and bibliographical tastes. These two volumes present the 1250 extant
letters by and to Baxter.
