Book Description

Why is Dr. Mahathir Mohamad a visionary? Simple, unlike many people, he has the ability to see the Big Picture. He can paint a picture but he is not an artist; he can anticipate trends and the opportunities embedded in such trends but he is not a clairvoyant. His thoughts have no limits and he does not believe in the impossible. His is a "can-do" attitude where the unreachable is reachable. As a visionary, he can see with his eyes closed. Unlike some people who go through the days of their lives with glorious dreams and never having the guts to act on such dreams and make them happen, he is the opposite. He had the guts to stand up for what he believed in and was kicked out of the political party he loved for thinking the unthinkable - a developed and prosperous Malaysia. He had the guts to make a comeback and put into practice his vision. The result is what we see today: a modern day Malaysia. This book is a testimony to such a vision. Would he face criticism at home and abroad for such a vision? Definitely. Would he make mistakes? Yes, he will, but neither would dampen his enthusiasm.

Book Description

Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Belle Starr, Wyatt Earp, the Younger Gang, the Dalton-Doolin Gang and Bat Masterson-where does the truth end and the legend begin? Each chapter-length entry here first focuses on the known facts of the people's lives, then compares the truth to how they have been portrayed in the movies.

Book Description

Over five hundred simple mechanical movements from America's first one hundred years of the Industrial Revolution. For those who share an interest in mechanical things, this book is addictive. Through the use of simplified, concise drawings, here are 507 of the small components which make up complex machinery in areas as diverse as C.R. Otis's safety stop for the elevator, Pickering's governor for a steam engine, Arnold's escapement for watches, compound parallel rules, piston rod guides, the grasshopper beam engine and a self recording level for surveyors. The list goes on and on in fascinating variety, with each movement explained and illustrated.

Customer Reviews:

Brief but good.......2007-09-06

This book is very brief on the explanations of each mechanism. They are basically 4 to 6 small mechanisms in 2D per page with their explanation in the opposite page, so expect the small print.

You have to imagine how they work which forces you to use some imagination. It is a good book for a 3D brain workout.

507 Mechanical Movements: Mechanisms and Devices .......2007-05-12

good book for someone that can identify mechanical parts, movements, and processes from diagrams only. the book has very little text to explain diagrams

very helpfull book.......2007-05-09

a practical book showing the most common movements explained in an easy and direct way.

I was SO excited about this book. When it finally arrived, part of me died........2007-03-14

This book is a collection of previously published thumbnail sized drawings. The book catagorizes the drawings, but not clearly. The drawings are really quite inconsistent, and the explanations are minimal. There is only one drawing per mechanism... so really it should be called Five Hundred And Seven Odd Drawings Which You May Enjoy; However, You Will Never Reference One Of Them.

When I say the drawings are inconsistent, I'm alluding to the fact that they were pulled from different sources, and it REALLY shows.

This book is TINY. Wait... I shouldn't have made "tiny" so large. It might confuse you.

I'm sure that the author put time into this book. And in all fairness, it is inexpensive. The value just isn't there though.

This book is the antithesis of Macaulay's The Way Things Work. It is "Things: They Might Work, But Who Knows How?"

There are other editions of this book, and maybe they are better.... but really we all know they're not.

Go for it - You won't be sorry.......2007-02-28

This baby is a real gem at ~8 bucks. Lots of really neat stuff and from the late 19th century. This is a great little book if you are trying to get some inspirational ideas. I think that the diagrams are neat - they look like woodcuts.

Book Description

Maureen Garth's popular meditations for children were born out of the author's desire to help her three–year–old daughter sleep soundly. Developing 'the gentle art of going within', her delightful stories helped her child – and many others around the world – to feel secure and to sleep peacefully. In Moonbeam, Garth invites her readers to accompany her on journeys into an imaginative world of animals, people and places. She shows parents how to use these imaginings with their children, helping them deal with their anxieties, develop their concentration and enhance their creativity.

Customer Reviews:

Peaceful and delightful.......2007-03-24

I bought this book a few weeks ago for my very anxious 7 year old daughter. I read her one of the meditations last night and was delighted with it. We had watched a movie that scared her a little and this helped put her in a better frame of mind to go to sleep. She told me this morning she liked it and it was relaxing. I plan on using this often with her and my other two children. I enjoyed it as much as she did!

A Great Childhood Memory.......2006-11-09

My parents read this book to me when I was a kid, and I'm astonished how much it affected my life. It helped spur my imagination, it allowed me to think of stories before bedtime, instilled in me a love of nature, and allowed me to meditate freely today! I'm now in my first year of college and seeing this book again reminds me how GOOD it felt to hear the stories and visualize them. I can still remember plenty of imagery, like the Worry Tree, and the smiling flowers...And I think they visit the Easter Bunny at some point?

I also want to point out that I'm not Christian, and my family isn't Christian, which was a concern I think I saw in another person's review. The guardian angel part meant a lot to me as a kid, because I didn't subscribe to any real belief system, but it was nice to feel like someone was watching over me. Just my own opinion though!

I dunno. Anyways, as someone who grew up with Moonbeams, I highly recommend this as a great time to spend with your children before bed. I just love all the fond memories I have of it, truly! And because it was so great I figured I'd offer another perspective to the reviews: that of an enchanted child.

Great book!.......2005-05-04

So one of the reviews said that they immediately returned the book because of the introduction of angels. Well, we skipped the angel reference when we first used the books but I have since integrated it into our nightly meditation sessions with my kids. We are not Christian and don't really use "angels" as spiritual guides at all, but I do tell my kids that passed family members watch out for them and now have used the word "angel" to describe it. I wouldn't let something like the use of angels dissuade anybody from using this book!! My kids BEG for it each night (8 and six years old) and I have begun to use it with my toddler. It has helped with my oldest child's nightmares where nothing else would and has sparked some tremendous creativity in other areas with all my children. I highly recommend this book as well as the others by the author. I cannot give enough praise here!!

Excellent Book!.......2005-04-02

When I first saw this book, I was not entirely impressed, but after a single night of reading it, I think it is great! When I read it, I got a wonderful picture in my mind, and the topics are really relaxing (The Rabbit is my favorite so far). I have found that I also seem to sleep better. I think that it was written really well! I would reccomend this book to anyone who is looking for a super before-bed read.

Imagination .......2004-12-06

I love reading the unique and creative meditations in this story to my children. They are whimsical enough to get my children excited yet calming enough to help them fall asleep quicker. Each story is just the right length to keep their attention while they activate their imaginations. I have read the stories in Moonbeam over and over again.

When I am too tired or busy to read I also use the
audio book/CD "Indigo Dreams" and "Indigo Ocean Dreams".

Chidren can't get enough of these feel good, relaxing stories and neither can I!

Book Description

Jens Jensen was one of America's greatest landscape designers and conservationists. Using native plants and "fitting" designs, he advocated that our gardens, parks, roads, playgrounds, and cities should be harmonious with nature and its ecological processes--a belief that was to become a major theme of modern American landscape design. In Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens, Robert E. Grese draws on Jensen's writings and plans, interviews with people who knew him, and analyses of his projects to present a clear picture of Jensen's efforts to enhance and preserve "native" landscapes.
