Kathleen Walls has done a wonderful job of detailing the "Eric Rudolph Story" in Man Hunt. The book is short and easy to read but contains a lot of interesting tidbits about Eric Rudolph and the case against him. This is an intriguing and well-researched book. I highly recommend it to lovers of true crime books.

Kicking it up a notch for a beginner like me.......2007-09-13

This book helped me get to the next stage in my beginning art journaling. I learned why paper behaves the way it does when liquid is applied, how different adhesives work and what they're good for--tons of practical stuff for a neophyte to art journaling. I go back to it again and again. It's got great information, and it's a beautiful book to spend time with. I'll grow into it for a long time.

decorated journal.......2007-09-03

I loved Gwen Diehn's first book and this one is very, very good. The journal pages by the artists and the suggestions from the author are inspiring and thought provoking.
The design of this book is uninspired and boring. It is UNDERdecorated. It looks like a text book, which is a shame.

I was very pleased with this book! It has lots of great ideas for journaling or other mediums.

I devoured this book! It is by far the most inspiring and informational book on journal making I have ever read. Wonderfully written and illustrated so it is easy to understand and put to use. I can't wait to try everything including making my own pigments! I guess I'll have to buy her first one!

Book Description

If you have children, then you have dreams for them. You want to see them growing up happy, healthy, self-reliant, and confident in themselves and their abilities. But if you're a typical parent, you've wondered if you'll be able to give them all this. There's good news: you can.

Wayne W. Dyer shares the wisdom and guidance that have already helped millions of readers take charge of their lives -- showing how to make all your hopes for your children come true.

You will learn:

the seven simple secrets for building your child's self-esteem every day.

how to give very young children all the love they need -- without spoiling them.

how to encourage risk-taking -- without fear of failure.

action strategies for dealing with your own anger -- and your child's.

the right way (and the wrong way) to improve your child's behavior.

the secrets of raising kids relatively free of illness.

techniques that encourage children to enjoy life.

It's all here -- straightforward, commonsense advice that no parent can afford to do without.

What Do You Really Want for Your Children? - Philosophical Review.......2006-11-02

Leitmotif, ancient secret for learning. Dyer's pattern of positive, uplifting behavior is repeated in advice on parenting. Unfortunately most of us didn't have the time or motivation to "seek" during our younger parenting years. I wish there were courses teaching this book in high schools.
Trish New, author of The Thrill of Hope and South State Street Journal.

From the author of, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves.......2006-09-06

As the author of Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves, I find What Do You Really Want for YOur Children to be nice, but not on the leading edge. Wayne Dyer is always full of stories and joy which is inspiring. The book is a fine introduction to being a parent who does not follow the old authoriterian ways. If you are inspired, don't stop here. Read other, more up to date books.

For example, Wayne speaks in praise of praise, yet, praise is manipulation. It gives the parents control over the child. The parent uses it to attempt to get a child to repeat a good behavior or achievement or control their emotions. If you read Punished by Rewards, or my own articles about praise and my book, you would know that praise is as bad as punishment and actually harms self-esteem and self-reliance.

Although much is missing in this book, it is also a delight to read from a delightful writer and speaker.

Parenting is not easy!.......2006-06-27

Wayne Dyer has brought his widsom and wit to the hard process of parenting with this inspiring but daunting how-to designed to raise "no-limit" children. Sadly, it's discouraging to realize the amount of hard work, discipline and self-control that are required from parents to pull off this challenging protocol for raising kids to be non-blaming, empathetic and self-confident adults. The main precepts tend to be repeated many times, but that's helpful for learning things well. As you might expect, there are plenty of helpful self-improvement tips for adults, who must really be exemplary people to follow the child-rearing advice Dyer gives. It would have been nice to have this book much sooner in my parenting career - now, as a grandparent, I'm finding it difficult to convince my daughter that the Dyer approach is workable. Even if you only adopt a few of his ideas, you will be rewarded, I think, with happier and better-adjusted children.

What do You Really Want for your Children.......2006-02-23

This book has helped me become a better parent by looking at my own behavior first. It is very practical and down to earth, obviously written by someone who has done the job before.

A great book for every serious parent.......2005-02-02

All parents start with grand expectations for their children. However, many parents are not specifically clear what characters they really want their children to have. Not knowing where to go and how to get there, it results in frustration, friction, conflict, mistrust, ... between the generations. Dr. Dyer's book is an invaluable guide for all serious parents to set the correct goal, make the goal approachable, and make every day of the parent-child relationship a deep enjoyment.

This book is not an easy book. As other readers have pointed out, this book is not just about raising kids, but also (perhaps more importantly) about changing the parents themselves. As I read through some of the paragraphs, I often felt my regret for things that I should have not done to my kids (I hope I can be better next time...).

Not only did the author set the goals that were founded on sound human development theory (mostly Maslow), but he also gave numerous detailed daily advices that are well organized around these goals. Examples include as simple of an advice as "Do not create monsters in the minds of young children to temporarily quiet them" to the more thoughtful "Try making your adolescent right rather than arguing with them any longer." Another observation worthing everybody's thought is "If you use guilt on children on a regular basis, it will not be long before they start using it on you."

I also enjoy the many profound sayings that the author quoted. One is "A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary." The other is "The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself."

A thoroughly interesting look at the great Eddie Irvine.......1999-09-28

As an Irvine follower, I really enjoyed reading Adam Cooper's book, which details not only the relatively recent Ferrari section of Eddie's career but gives the reader an insight into just how he developed his career to the F1 stage. A very entertaining look at the soon to be world champion (if not 99, then 2000!), including some dodgy photos from the early years!

GREAT!.......1998-12-10

Awesome Book! You don't often find information on Steady Eddie, but this book covers it all!
