Book Description

INTRODUCTION "The Algarve has always been at variance with itself, more Mediterranean than Atlantic, as much African as European, its Islamic heritage visible in a Christian society. It is altogether, in its 5,000 square kilometres, a contradictory cosmos."

from The Portuguese by Marion Kaplan With some of Europe's best and cleanest sandy beaches, picturesque rocky coves and year-round sunshine, this contradictory cosmos has become justifiably the most popular region in Portugal for both overseas visitors and the Portuguese themselves. Popularity has led to heavy development on the central coastal strip from Faro west to Lagos. But even here you can find quiet cove beaches and vestiges of traditional Portugal amongst the panoply of villas, hotels and sports complexes. It is this combination of natural beauty and superb facilities that have made the region popular with celebrities and sports stars from Cliff Richard to the Beckhams. Development is much less pronounced at the two extremes of the Algarve. Around Sagres and along the west coast, low-key resorts are close to a series of breathtaking wave-battered beaches, popular with windsurfers. To the east, relaxed resorts lie within reach of island sandbanks boasting giant swathes of dune-backed beaches. Away from the coast, inland Algarve has a surprisingly diverse landscape, with lush orange groves and wooded mountains offering superb walking territory around Monchique and Silves to the west and Serra do Caldeirão in the centre. In the east, a more wildly beautiful landscape marks the border with Spain along the fertile Guadiana river valley.

Book Description

Keep Your Pecker Up is Lyn Rafe-Lawyer's glorious true saga charting a hundred year span of British and American life during lean and plump times. Deeply rooted in Lyn Rafe-Lawyer's soul is her Anglo-Saxon heritage of self-deprecation, confidence and courage. Born in the turbulent thirties, her genteel, sanguine childhood was secure until the advent of World War Two. One of London's first evacuees sent to an unknown destination at age six, she was a witness to an unprecedented era and embarked on a cataclysmic roller coaster ride into a violent world. An impressionable post-war teenager, she merged into Britain's sagging social and economic matrix grappling with an insidious, stifling and re-emerging class system. Determined to leave behind a bleak existence she ventured to the United States, a modern day immigrant brimming with optimism to begin life anew.

Book Description

For much of the legendary BC politician-cum-hotliner's career, calling him a socialist would have risked a scorching riposte if not a punch in the nose, but in his latest book that is the label he gives himself. Has the old warrior gone over to the other side? Well, not exactly. Rafe Mair has dominated the British Columbia airwaves for years, pulling in more listeners than any other radio personality in the province. Hundreds of thousands of people regularly tune in for his blend of unbridled opinion and unyielding interrogation, garnering him the reputation of being one of Canada's most respected--and feared--radio talk-show hosts.

But Rafe Mair is much more than a radio broadcaster. A lawyer, politician and environmental crusader, Mair seems to have been made for the spotlight, and he thrives amid a storm of controversy. "I was born that way, I guess," he says, "a contrarian all my life. From childhood on, I never liked being told what to do and challenged authority at every turn."

In this intimate and intriguing memoir, Mair uncovers behind-the-scenes exploits during his 15 years practising law in Vancouver and Kamloops, his five eventful years in Bill Bennett's provincial government, and his nearly 25 years as a radio broadcaster. He reveals his thoughts on everything from fish farms, government and current Prime Minister Paul Martin, to his departure from CKNW, his personal relationships, and struggles with depression. Rafe: A Memoir is a portrait of Rafe Mair as never seen before, a reflective look at one of BC's most contentious figures.

As Quatermain died at the end of the latter, I assumed his adventures were over until his resurrection in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel. I was wrong: Quatermain was in fact so popular that H. Rider Haggard wrote seventeen prequels in the form of short stories, novellas, and novels. His creation had a life every bit as extraordinary as one would expect of the English-speaking world's forst popular action hero, and is presented here as a mini-bio.

ASIN: B000M06F02
Release Date: 2006-12-14

Book Description

I was fascinated by the fact that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dame Agatha Christie were contemporaries. It made me wonder about Holmes and Poirot, and the relationship - if any - between them. A closer look at the lives of both Great Detectives revealed a debt to a mutual predecessor, a much lesser known Parisian gentleman by the name of C. Auguste Dupin…

Customer Reviews:

Well done!.......2007-03-20

This Short is packed full of interesting info about Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie and their two most famous creations. There's also good historical background to the two stories "His Last Bow" and "The Kidnapped Prime Minister" which I really enjoyed, as I've always thought both stories excellent anyway. But the best part was that it contains the first biography of Hercule Poirot I've read that makes any sense. Christie's character kind of had a life of his own that even she couldn't control, and the author has done an excellent job of putting the pieces together in a manner as consistent as possible. Well done!

You have to REALLY like Hercule and Sherlock..........2007-01-17

In order to enjoy this article, you have to REALLY be into these two characters. McGregor treats them as if they were real people, and if you don't play along with him, you might find it quite tedious. Being a fan of Poirot stories and a past fan of Holmes stories, I enjoyed picking up a few items of trivia that I didn't know. Hearing about some of the real life events that happened during the time of the characters was also interesting, though sometimes forced. In the end, I didn't feel as happy with my purchase as I expected to be.

Perhaps I was still irked by the purchase method of the article. Amazon purchases normally have a confirmation page after the initial ordering button. This process immediately charged my credit card when the button is clicked. No opportunity was given to use an alternate credit card or to momentarily rethink your decision. Since it was only 49 cents, I won't formally complain, but I will be far less likely to purchase another article.

I quickly read the rest of Hannay's adventures and enjoyed piecing together the scattered details of his extraordinary life so much, that I decided to write a mini-bio as a quick reference for all crime fiction readers.

Book Description

“A Study in Watson” is a biography of Dr Watson reconstructed from the sixty original Sherlock Holmes stories. The idea occurred to me after watching the BBC adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles in 2002. Despite poor reviews, it had something quite unique: a Dr Watson easily recognisable as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation. Ian Hart portrayed Holmes' companion as young, intelligent, tough, and resourceful — a far cry from the usual bumbling sidekick. I decided to re-read the adventures in search of the real John H. Watson, and I was not disappointed by what I found

Book Description

12th & McGraw is the story of Forrest Haskell, Jr. and his coming of age immersed in the Detroit rackets in the1940's. His father, Forrest Haskell, Sr., having been born into near poverty and abused as a child, had acquired a tremendous thirst for wealth. In his quest for riches he operated many different types of businesses, some legal and others not. From a young age Forrest, Jr. worked along side his father and struggled with the corruption, violence, and evil that surrounded him. During these years he encountered many strange and unique characters who had been hired to help run the racketeering and other business operations.

His greatest challenge was dealing with the fallout from his father's double life. For over 50 years Forrest Sr. alternated each night between two separate families. This led to a lifelong identity crisis for young Forrest that haunts him even today. 12th & McGraw chronicles incidents of gun play, a secret language, and a custom-made automobile that was used as a rolling bank. It reveals, in detail, each of the racketeering businesses including the "Blind Pigs," bookmaking, numbers operations, loan sharking, and influence peddling that were commonplace in Detroit and all across the country during that era.

What our father's teach us!.......2007-07-26

Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (7/07)

I was immediately drawn into "12th & McGraw." In this autobiography, Forrest Haskell, Jr., tells the story of life with his father, Forrest Haskell, Sr. Although it was not an easy life, it was an incredibly interesting life. His father became successful by running several illegal operations. These included bootlegging, gambling, and loan sharking. The characters involved with his dad were incredibly interesting in their eccentricities. I really enjoyed reading about these people; they contributed to bringing the story to life. Mr. Haskell does an excellent job of describing these people and the places that they frequented.

Mr. Haskell's father was raised by an unstable, verbally-abusive man. He chose to be a different kind of father. He raised Mr. Haskell with a good self-esteem and the belief that he could accomplish anything. This was really positive. Mr. Haskell passed this gift down to his own children. He also made the choice, as an adult, not to follow in his father's footsteps by getting involved in his illegal operations. His father was a good man in that he let his son make his own decisions. He wasn't so good in providing his son with a stable home environment. The mother of Forrest, Jr. was married to someone else when his father came into his life. His father was also married to another woman. Both women had to share him. This was incredibly painful for the women and their children.

"12th & McGraw," is an incredibly interesting story that also offers several lessons on life. Parenting is a big one. Mr. Haskell, Jr. chose the positive aspects of his fathers parenting skills. He also learned from the painful lessons that his father taught in regards to the relationships. All of the children and the two mothers had to live with the pain of having to share their dad. As his dad slowed down later in life, he expressed regrets over the damage that he caused from his decisions. He also made peace with his own father prior to his death. This part of the story made me reflect upon my own life and realize that I need to live my life in such a way that I don't have huge regrets at the end. His father was sure that he was going to hell. That is not a very peaceful way to be at the end. He had a great adventure getting to this point in his life.

I highly recommend this book. It would make a great Father's Day gift for a man that loves to read. I am really happy that I had a chance to enjoy "12th & McGraw."

Fitzgerald Would Be Proud.......2004-08-23

A very good piece of non-fiction can found in Forrest Haskell's, 12th & McGraw. Haskell, a first-time scribe, immerses himself deep within his memories and returns with a story of if not better days, certainly different days; days responsible for exactly who and what Haskell is and perhaps isn't. It's ballsy move, laying your life out for public inspection, but coming from where Haskell comes from, it's the stand-up thing to do. 12th and McGraw is not the underworld send-up some may suggest, instead it is a fascinating slice of Americana. It is the story of a man, a boy and ulitimately a boy who became a man. 12th and McGraw, Forrest Haskell's midnight confession.

I Wish I Had Been Involved in the Editing...........2004-08-06

12th & McGraw is one of those books that grabs you and won't let go! Because I know the author and his wife as wonderful acquaintances (and we would be good friends if we could spend more time together) I know the life he lived as a youngster still impacts him today. I can not imagine living through the adventures he describes, but they are certainly fun to read about. My ONLY criticism of the book is that it could use some additional editing. Having been a journalist all my life, I read everything entirely too critically. This book is not the only one I'd like to get my hands on. When Forrest talks of his lovely and wonderful wife "Nancy," he doesn't exaggerate at all. She's a living doll and, together, they have made a wonderful life for themselves and their family. I know that to be true. This book is exciting and Forrest has the ability to put his reader right in the middle of all the action. Give it a try. You won't be sorry.

12th & McGraw- an unusual story!.......2004-07-27

Today, with the advent of self-published books there has been a proliferation of the personal narrative. It seems that everyone wants to join the bandwagon and recount his or her life story.

The early chapters of 12th & McGraw, authored by Forrest Haskell Jr., gets off to a great start and succeeds in immediately hooking the reader.
Forrest Haskell Jr. grew up in a tough Detroit neighborhood in the 40s and 50s born out of wedlock of a union between his French mother and her American lover, Forrest Haskell Sr.
Although Forrest Sr. possessed incredible entrepreneurial skills, he was throughout his life involved in illicit criminal activities such as loan sharking, gambling, boot legging, bribing public officials, income tax evasion, and a slew of others.
In addition, he also lived a double life fathering several children, while living alternatively on different days of the week with two women for over fifty years.
One of these women was the author's mother. Ironically he could never be accused of bigamy, as he was only legally married to one of the women. Nonetheless, Forrest Sr. treated both women with equal respect and fulfilled his fatherly obligations to both of his families.

There is no shortage of interesting characters in the book. At times you think that some of these individuals associated with Forrest Sr. were out of a Damon Runyon novel.
One character in particular, Harry, would be comical if his life did not end so tragically.
It seems that Harry had black rotten teeth worn down to the gums and he covered them with white adhesive tape. In fact, they were in such a horrible condition that he drank goats' milk, as he was unable to chew on solid food. Unfortunately, he passed away as a result of blood poisoning.

The problem I found with this book is that it wanes toward the concluding chapters where the author seems to lose focus. He fails to elucidate why he did not follow in his father's footpath into a life of crime.
We are informed that the author was very successful in his business as a distributor of photocopying machines, and that some of his father's entrepreneurial skills probably had rubbed off on him. Nonetheless, he never considered pursuing the same life style as his father. Personal narratives in order to be effective must clearly connect the meaning of experiences and how they played a role in the narrator's character.
Although, the author does state from time to time that he did not exactly condone his father's criminal activities and also did not wish to inherit his money, he fails to show what was extraordinary or special about his experiences that would invoke universal interest. The reader is left with more questions than answers upon completion of the book's reading.

It also makes you practice a lot - which is very fun, and gives a good result.

Your own personal coach - and for people who need a selfesteem boost, regarding their handwriting, it's a must have!

However - if you're already satisfied with the way you write - just experiment on your own. The book won't help you.

I purchased this book for my daughter, the scrapbooker. I had shopped at several local stores and was unable to locate it so was delighted when I realized I should purchase it at Amazon.com.

It's smaller size makes it quite portable which is always a plus for a scrapbooker who goes to crops!

Intriguing and Insightful Guide to Handwriting Analysis.......1999-07-22

This book gives you instant insight into a person's personality. This book has illustrations of different styles of forming a particular letter, and then next to the letter it gives the personality. I found that the personality insight is for the most part dead on target. The only down part is that I found that there were often many different forms for the way I formed a letter. So, I basically fit both those categories, and sometimes they would be contradicting. But like the author said, when we are in a certain mood, our handwriting changes. Also, in the "M" section, they didn't have the way I formed my "M's" exactly. Otherwise, I had fun passing this book around for other people to look at in my office.

From the creator of The Love Boat comes a fun-filled romp through the stormy world of love, sex, and romance. Love Signs would best be described as a compatibility manual based mainly in astrology, but with some facial analysis, palmistry, graphology, and numerology thrown in for good measure. This information could conceivably be applied to all sorts of relationships, but when Saunders turns phrases like "Staying power is the most noticeable attribute of the Taurus. Don't plan to get home early on your first date," you know she's not referring to office politics. Like a lighthouse beacon in the midst of a gale, Love Signs will guide you out of the choppy seas of the singles scene, and straight into the harbor of love. --Brian Patterson

Don't Bother .......2006-01-13

I"ve read many books on handwriting analsysis which I have studied for thirty years. This books is one of the worst I've encountered. It provides a letter by letter approach to graphoanalysis rather than a "trait stacking" approach which is more typically taught. Many of the letter analysis the author uses seem dubious, not things I've ever read before. I found myself saying "Oh come on!" at some of his conclusions. One of many example is that a loop in an O letter means you are a divided soul; half wanting to be with people, the other half wanting to be alone. Never heard that one before. Most handwriting books indicate that this trait means you are secretive since the O is one of the communication letters and the loop functions to tie it off. I found the letter by letter analysis approach rather silly anyway; a proper study of graphology is much more complex than that. There are lots of better graphology books out there.

Unbelieveable that this guy entitles a book "love".......2005-05-24

As I read through this book it really seemed more about Bart Baggett bragging about how many women he slept with than about any secrets to making love or relationships happen. After several shocking pages of reading about his "sl*t" and "wh*re" and "b**ch" conquests (all his word choices, not mine!), in a book about "making love happen." I am seriously confused. Why would a man, who by his own admission is 1) highly promiscuous and seeks out vulnerable women in order to "get laid," 2) has never been in a seriously committed relationship and 3) openly views any woman who would have a sexual interest in him as a "sl*t," writing a book on "LOVE." This book is not about true relationships nor is it in any way about love or creating a loving relationship.

Although I read this book through, I am pretty much done ever purchasing another product from his company (EVER). I was equally disgusted by Bart Baggett's reference in this book to the woman he "build enough rapport with" to "gain her trust" because her handwriting indicated she would be a "good lay." She admitted to him she had been raped in a hotel they drove past. His response was that he now "wouldn't touch her" for sex "because of what had been done to her" he "didn't know what he might catch." Astonishing... no STUNNING admission on HIS part!

I was also troubled that I saw a lot of information from more mature and experienced handwriting experts (some deceased), appear in this book. Strangely absent were reference numbers or quotation marks. Interesting! To my curious eye, pretty much all of the uncited epiphanies he supplies throughout this book, seem remarkably similar to those presented by his "unofficial mentors" in their books. Even in his "change your handwriting in 30 days" materials I found many outright "similarities" between his suggestions and the work "Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life" by Vimala Rodgers... as well as many works created decades past. It might be time for someone to dust off their "out of print" handwriting and graphology books and give this man some serious scrutiny (no laughter here).

In my opinion Mr. Baggett seems to have a lot of trouble giving others the credit they are due for their ideas. Also his book has made me wonder whether a "t" crossed excessively high is more about narcissism than high self-esteem. Honestly, (no lying loops here!) I decided that it was better to "circular file" this book rather than even to donate it to the local library. I wish I had spent the money on a pizza instead.

Best for Typists.......2003-09-20

As an admitted non-expert in the field of finding mates through handwriting analysis, I purchased this book expecting it would help me find my perfect match. Although it does contain some very helpful information re neuro-linguistic programming, I must have missed the bit on how to convince a woman to submit a writing sample to a handwriting expert.

Loads of typos.......2003-05-09

He's a very good speaker, he does have a (biting) sense of humor, he is overly obsessed with sex (which can be funny but ultimately just gets tiring), he's a brilliant *marketer*. He is talented at handwriting traits but I would assume that his lower loops all run into the next lines every time - he has too many irons in the fire. The reader is left with the feeling that we, the book purchasers, are not worth hiring an editor, nor running Spell Check (even once??).

If you're looking for real handwriting analysis, go to
http://www.karohs.com/handwriting_analysis.htm
Dr. Erika Karohs is the real deal - Bart is .... not.

I've invested quite a bit of money in Bart's books and courses and the quality of the materials is very sub standard. He's selling himself totally short by racing through, writing as fast as he can and never looking back. We are left with the feeling that he has somewhere else to be and doesn't really have time to write this book so would you please just go to his website(s) and buy more stuff! And hurry! :)

I respect bart........2000-12-15

Bart has a great index in his book on what writing in script says.The only thing I personally found to be unreliable is the mechanical dexterity mark. Bart is one of the top people who does handwriting analysis in the u.s. He has a top book on the subject. His identification of what things mean is on the mark.

Bart is Gifted At..........1998-12-02

Educating while he entertains! Not only was the information invaluable and entertaining, it was also RIGHT!!!

My advice to anyone that buys the book is to trust what it says! I speak from experience! If the book says that the person you are dating has a bad temper and is a liar...no matter how much you believe otherwise, Bart is RIGHT!!!

Worth every penny you will save in cash and aggravation on bad dates!

Plus, he has the personal stories to back it up!

Book Description

"A son needs a dad who knows how to have fun," Gregory Lang begins this testimony to the important roles fathers play in their sons' lives. Increasingly in today's world, young boys are being raised either without a father or by fathers who have very little involvement in their sons' upbringing. A boy needs a dad to teach him how things work, how to talk with girls, and how to tie a tie. He also needs a father who is willing to make sacrifices, one who shows him that love is unselfish and pulls him back when he is headed in the wrong direction. These and more than ninety other things are what a boy must learn about becoming a man. The result is a sequel to the New York Times bestseller Why a Daughter Needs a Dad.

The relationship between father and son is both simple and complex. Simple in that a father remembers the things he learned as a boy and passes them on to his sons. Complex in that it is filled with quiet hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity and the adventure of discovery, and the creation of a history from which they both may draw strength and wisdom.

Today Gregory Lang remembers his dad as someone he worshiped as a child, disfavored as a teenager, and now deeply admires. "On my mantle, next to a high school portrait of my mom and amid many photographs of my daughter," he writes, "sits a picture of my dad and me our front yard. He is squatting down, his arms wrapped around me as I stand between his knees. Sometimes I stand before this mantle and look at those photographs and realize how blessed I am." Now that he is a father himself, Lang realizes that being a dad is the greatest challenge and reward a man can have.

Say it now...........2007-01-19

I gave this book to my dad for Christmas. He had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The book was a way of saying all those things I wanted to say, but didn't.

Wonderful Book!.......2007-01-09

An excellent book for us all to remember why we love our children so much and how we shape their lives. The lump in my throat got bigger and bigger........

Special book for a special person.......2006-10-13

I bought this book for my father to give to him after his cancer surgery. I'm an adult son who has a very close relationship with my father but don't live so close. This was a great way for him to have something to remind him of that bond any time.

Very applicable to any son/dad relationship with the variety of photos and reasons. Everyone will find that special reason the rings true for them.

Heartwarming Tribute to Dads.......2005-09-29

As the dad to my toddler son, I truly loved this book and recommend it to sons and dads everywhere.

This simple and easy-to-read book was packed with many insights and perspectives that captured and challenged my beliefs and experiences as both a son and a dad. Forty-five black-and-white photos perfectly complemented the emotion-packed pages of one-liners that all began with, "A son needs a dad..."

For me, this book was pregnant with meaning. Many times I was compelled to pause and reflect, often with misty or tearful eyes. I found two one-liners that had a significant impact on me, and believe they will continue to have a significant impact on me as a dad throughout the years to come:

"A son needs a dad...to be the role model for the father he will become."

"A son needs a dad...because without him he will have less in his life than he deserves."

Great Book.......2003-07-24

I purchased this book for my husband for his first Father's Day. He enjoyed reading it so much. It really makes you think of all the things a father is needed for. This makes a great gift for any new dad.

Book Description

This aptly-titled collects for the first time Joe Matt`s compelling and often hilarious storyline chronicling the crucial moments in his miserable life, beginning with his secret lust for his lover`s best friend, and its ensuing devastating consequences. Ongoing troubles with women, an insatiable obsession with pornography...this poor bastard has serious problems, yet unlike the rest of us, he works them out in full public view, allowing us to get closer to him...maybe a little too close!

Customer Reviews:

The Poor Bastard.......2005-12-15

The Poor Bastard is a Brillant Book every Guy should buy a Copy. He reminds me of myself when I was in my teens.
This is a great guide for picking up women. Trust me Guys you will love this book. Feminist may get a little upset but who cares about feminists they are ugly.
Buy the book read learn & put to practice.
Have fun.

Grim, hilarious and compulsively readable.......2004-07-24

Joe Matt is at it again. No, not self-abuse, unless turning yourself into a comic book character qualifies as such. Matt's published another confessional, book-length collection about the life of one Joe Matt. Unlike Peepshow, which I went back and re-read after reading this one, there's not much youthful ebullience and stylistic experimentation in Poor Bastard. Nevertheless, like all Matt's stuff, the book is compulsively readable.

The style and the subject matter are pretty straight ahead. No longer using a zillion small panels and experimental styles, The Poor Bastard begins with the last stages of the relationship between Joe and Trish, who are unrelenting and grimly out of phase with each other. After Trish inevitably breaks up with him, Matt is plunged into a hellish, self-conscious existence pondering his hang-ups, aging body, mortality, inability to meet women, obsession with porn...

It's a familiar story. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy feels trapped, treats girl like cr*p and takes her for granted. Girl breaks up with boy and moves on. Boy can't get over it. That doesn't sound like a prescription for a successful work of art, but Poor Bastard succeeds. Matt pulls it off with his all around excellent 'tooning and storytelling. He has a fantastic sense of pace. Good book.

Like watching a video-taped recording of someone's life.......2000-05-23

Joe Matt's _The Poor Bastard_ is one of the most entertaining comics I have ever laid eyes on. Painfully honest, funny, and engaging, Matt chronicles his relationships with women, one of his fans, his friends, and his sexual fantasies. _The Poor Bastard_ beautifully portrays the anguish of human relationships. _The Poor Bastard_ is a book well-worth reading.

A sincere not-so-sincere comic autobiography.......1999-07-17

Joe Matt's "The Poor Bastard" is really a one-of-a-kind autobiographic work because instead of narrating past-events it is almost a diary of current events, where the author is not afraid of telling us even the most embarassing details of his and his friends' life! If you thought that ED TV was a great idea for a film... well this is the real thing! Since this is a collection of a serialized work, as the book goes on you even have a chance to see the angry reactions of the people that Joe Matt exposed in the book as they read about themselves. And in the process you will discover that maybe Joe wasn't honestly telling you ALL the truth after all... Joe Matt is an ego-maniac, cheater, liar and egoistic creep but oh-so human.... and you may find yourself relating to this "poor bastard"'s everyday misadventures. Buy it, you won't regret it. And if you do you have my e-mail address to complain!
