5 out of 5 stars Desert Storm Dreadnought - An extremely poignant true story!.......2004-04-26

As it so often happens during a war many people may watch specials on news shows about soldiers and how their participation in the war has affected their lives but not long after the war is over they're forgotten by the public in general. Being a soldier myself, I know and understand what happens to soldiers during and after war and for those that were directly involved in the war itself, their experiences are not soon forgotten and for some, it takes a toll that can never be recompensed.

That is the story told that in this book, the story of Joseph B. George's life and his experiences prior to, during and after Desert Shield/Desert Storm. In many ways his story is somewhat commonplace where a young man makes the decision to join the Army to both earn money for college and to carry on a family tradition of military service and then that decision makes an indelible mark on their lives, which removes the commonplace aspect making it that much more moving.

Joseph B. George's tale is one of a nineteen year old who enlisted in the Army to serve in the Armored Corps and not long thereafter found himself in the Big Red One, one of the Army's most storied divisions. When Saddam Hussein made the fatal decision to invade Kuwait that led to President Bush's decision to form the coalition that ultimately removed the Iraqi's from Kuwait, the Big Red One was among the first divisions in country, there to remove them and it is among these major political events that Joseph B. George, a deservedly confident American soldier, became a true war hero, something of which many may aspire to be until the experience is upon them.

His tale is an extremely poignant one in which he starts with his enlistment in the Army, survives and thrives during the war and then switches gears to how his life was dramatically effected after the war all the way up to the beginning Operation Iraqi Freedom and the anguish he felt for the soldiers of a younger generation going into that situation.

Although some of his "facts" are a little off when it comes to some military equipment and when it was used and the writing is a bit disjointed, his story alone more than makes up for these editorial errors. I highly recommend this self published story to any and all who are interested in hearing about war from a soldier's point of view! {ssintrepid}

Book Description

We see his face on stamps, coins, and currency and repeat his witty aphorisms, but few of us understand the breadth of Ben Franklin's influence on early American philosophy. In RECOVERING BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, James Campbell paints a unique portrait of Franklin, arguing that he was not only a creative inventor, insightful humorist, and skillful ambassador-but also an influential early member of the Pragmatist movement. Campbell explores Franklin's extraordinary place in American history, laying out his contributions to science, religion, morality, politics, and philosophy. He also emphasizes Franklin's vision of the social good: the need for institutions and structures to organize human cooperation, his advocacy of cooperation, education, and religious tolerance, and his assertion of the superiority of the simple life of the new American democracy.

4 out of 5 stars wonderful sense of the period.......1999-10-08

Campbell, a professor of philosophy at the University of Toledo, is one of America's foremost experts on the development of the philosophy of pragmatism. In this book, he has carried his studies on that development into what one may call its fetal period -- the pre-pragmatism of Ben Franklin. The essential insight of pragmatism, and of Franklin, Campbell tells, us, is that the "search for wisdom" cannot be understood aside from the effort to "advance human well-being."

This is a wonderful book, and it brings alive the leading ideas of the generation of the founding fathers in a way few other recent books have!

5 out of 5 stars LOW CARB BOOK.......2007-03-11

I LIKE THE BOOK AND I GOT MY BOOK IN 2DAYS.

3 out of 5 stars A condensed "Protein Power".......2007-03-11

If you read "Protein Power" but were befuddled by the diagrams and medical terminology and just wanted to know how it worked, "The 30-Day Low Carb Diet Solution" is what you're looking for. Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades give a simple, jargon-free explanation about how the diet works, then provide meal plans and recipes to get you started. It makes everything very easy to understand and you can jump right into it. The only annoying thing is that the book seems to be a pimp for the larger and way more detailed "Protein Power Lifeplan," as it's mentioned frequently in the body of the book. Still, if you're interested in low-carb this is a very good overview.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best! .......2007-03-05

Short, sweet and to the point. The Doctors Eades have a way of explaining complex things in easy to understand ways. Doesn't go as deep as Protein Power and Protein Power LifePlan. but instead gives a complete, but abreviated explaination of how our bodies use food as fuel and why some foods are better for us than others.

The recipes included are excellent! I have several that I make on a regular basis.

5 out of 5 stars The Nuts and Bolts of How to Eat and What to Eat Low Carb.......2005-08-04

If you don't need or want the science behind "Protein Power" or low carb eating, if you want to eat Low Carb healthy, then this is THE book to get. It's become my bible for low carbing as a way of life.

Three small questionnaires show whether low carbing is the way to go for you. A simple chart based on height and weight shows the minimum protein requirements per meal for women and men. The protein serving lists correlate with the protein charts to show what to eat and how much for small, medium, large, extra large, and extra-extra large protein servings. There are three Carbohydrate serving lists: Small servings for the corrective phase of the diet (weight loss or health restoring), Medium servings for transitioning for increasing the amount of carbs when approaching goal weight or health target values, and Large servings for the maintenance phase. What's the point of reducing weight or gaining health if you can't maintain it?

Carbohydrate servings include vegetables; fruits; and bread, cereals and grains. Yet another list shows the carb contents and quantities of combination foods (dairy, nuts and soy). There's several lists of what to eat of "good" fats. There's a generic easy meal plan, 30-days of meals as examples, how to do exchanges within the carb servings, and a section of recipes including egg dishes and breakfast foods; soups and salads; meat, fish and fowl dishes; vegetable dishes; vegetarian dishes; desserts and preserves; and condiments.

Not only have I lost weight from 134 (March 2005) down to 113 (June, 2005) and maintaining (I'm 4'11), I've gained health. My blood values are all within normal ranges. I have more energy, my moods have leveled out, my clothes fit beautifully and look good, I don't have any more sugar cravings or the feeling that there's not enough food on the planet to satisfy me, and I can easily adapt this way of eating to restaurants, social events, and vacationing. In fact, I lost a pound while out of town in Memphis, TN over the long Memorial Day weekend, 2005. By the way, there's a wonderful list of what to eat when dining out at many kinds of restaurants in the book "Protein Power," pages 126-130.

I have several of my patients in my acupuncture clinic following this way of eating through this book. Both are early stage adult-onset diabetics, both have dropped nearly 40 pounds in 4 to 5 months, both had gastric reflux which lessened and one with sleep apnea greatly improved. Blood sugar values for both have dropped. One patient was able to forego taking any medication for her diabetes, the other had her doseage reduced. Both of their general practitioner doctors are highly pleased.

This book is well worth your time and money. You've everything to gain (health and life).

3 out of 5 stars Good-but lots of room for improvement.......2004-03-08

The recipe index is not very well organized, and the book has several editing errors, but other than that: The 30 day meal plan is good, which is why I bought it, but (like a lot of other books) meal plans should keep the user in mind. Most people on a M-F schedule would prefer the Power Smoothie and Yogurt Cup recipes on a workday and the more time intensive Veggie Frittata and Lighter-than-air-Pancakes on Saturday and Sunday.
I also like the fact that several of the lunch plans are leftovers from a dinner prepared a day or two before, however it is not consistent and you never know whether to prepare the stated # of servings (usually 4) because you'll need the leftovers or pare it down to 2 if cooking only for 2, because if it's not used in a follow up lunch, you are either wasting 2 servings or eating more than needed.
I also think the information at the top of each recipe which lists # of servings and carb and protein amounts, should also list preparation and cook times, so you don't get caught offguard fixing dinner only to find your dish needs to marinate for an hour or two.
Well I'm not getting a consulting fee, so I'll end my critique.

    Low-carb eating helps you look and feel great! All it takes is thirty days . . .

    Cheryl's story:

    Cheryl is 5'4" tall. She weighed 309 pounds. After she went on the Eades' diet plan, she lost a substantial amount of weight in just 30 days. The plan works long-term, too: after a year, Cheryl weighs just 135 pounds and she met her first boyfriend. She's never felt or looked better, and she loves the delicious range of satisfying foods she eats.

    Mitch's story:

    Mitch is a doctor. He went on a very low-fat, nearly vegetarian diet after a heart attack, but the low-fat diet lowered his good cholesterol and raised his triglycerides to the point where his doctor discussed putting Mitch on medication to adjust his blood levels. Mitch went on the Eades' diet plan and, within 30 days, he lost weight, his triglycerides plummeted, and his good cholesterol went up. He feels great.

                What a great book. It was well organized. My only sorrow was that I wish some of the quilts had patterns included because I loved them so much! The photos are wonderful, the history is even better. I definitely give this book a 5-star rating.

                5 out of 5 stars Minnesota's beautiful quilt heritage.......2005-10-02

                From the breathtaking cover to the final page, "Minnesota Quilts" is simply marvelous. Many books have been written about state quilt searches; I worked on several of the searches as a photographer and really appreciate the beautiful way the quilts are depicted and displayed.

                5 out of 5 stars A remarkable treasury of one-of-a-kind quilts and the stories of the quilters who made them.......2005-07-05

                Greg Winter's Minnesota Quilts: Creating Connections With Our Past is a remarkable treasury of one-of-a-kind quilts and the stories of the quilters who made them. Lee Sandberg's full-color photography throughout reveals each quilt's unique features, from a quilt incorporating pages from an alphabet book to Irish Chain Quilts to cross-stitch quilts and more. The text explores the connections that quilts and quilting brought among individuals, families, and friends, as well as the histories of individual quilts and fascinating vignettes of those who owned the quilts destined to become museum pieces. A beautiful collection and the perfect giftbook for quilters of all skill and experience levels, whether as a source for inspiration or just a breathtaking assembly of style and originality that is most enjoyable to simply page through.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great Advice.......2006-01-10

                    Being a teenager, this book was full of great information. The book has insight that alot of teens miss or aren't aware of, while encouraging young girls to set high standards in relationships. I've read the book more than once and it gets better every time! It was refreashing to see a book that takes into account the way a man dresses, treats others and respects his family as a reflection of his character and faith. I have recommended this book to my friends and i think every girl should read it!

                    5 out of 5 stars Avoid Mr. Wrong.......2005-11-16

                    My teenage daughter got this book on somebody's recommendation, so I read it too. It claims to be a girl's guide to finding "Mr. Right." It was more of a girl's guide to avoiding "Mr. Wrong." Of course avoiding "Mr. Wrong" is very important. This book begins with a discussion about wisdom and life and courtship versus dating. Then there is The Test, which covers many different areas from attitude to career to family and friends. Girls SHOULD not need this book to avoid choosing losers. Unfortunately, many girls have no clue what makes the difference between a MAN and a boy in men's clothing. Watch any romance movie on the market today. Most of the "heroes" are great looking guys who would score an F on this test. Yet in the movie every thing works out great. Not in real life. Many young girls I have known were more interested in whether a guy is cute and fun at a party. I know first hand that marrying a man who flunks this test will bring only grief, pain, divorce, and financial hardship. This goes for both the girl herself, and any children which come so commonly from relationships with guys. I will be glad if this book reinforces the advice I already give, and helps my teen to avoid "Mr. Wrong."

                    1 out of 5 stars Hilarious!.......2005-09-09

                    This book had me laughing from beginning to end. Any Christian young woman who would need the guidelines set out in this book to know whether or not she should date a certain guy needs further help than this book. The most amusing part of this book is that while the book centers in on guys who don't say cuss words or beat you. (Um, ok...deal!) It also becomes overly picky about guys who "have a piercing", "color their hair" or are "enthusiastic about their sports". And I see what they were trying to say, but what this books failed to talk about is the guy (or man's) heart. You could meet someone who is "perfect" in regards to their "Checklist", but has a rotten heart and a total hypocrite in his faith. This is something only God can know and you must seek his knowledge on.
                    If you are looking for a book of true insight into the subject of marriage/courtship/singleness please check out Eric and Leslie Ludy, Rebecca St. James, Janet Folger or even Joshua Harris.
                    I commend Gary Lewis and his wife for what they tried to do, but ultimately I believe they failed. I suppose if you were a parent of a teenager who just became a christian you could read this book to get some ideas about what to talk about. But frankly, if this had been th first book my parents had given me on the subject of marriage/courtship, I would have been very confused and scared.
                    If you are a parent buying this for your daughter, please read it first and then decide if you still want her to read it.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great advice.......2002-06-15

                    This book is short and easy to read but has a lot of great advice for those searching for "Mr. Right." It would make a wonderful gift.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Parents.......2002-04-17

                    "Is He A Man Or Just Another Guy?" should be part of every family's parenting "toolbox." Do you have a daughter(s)? This book will help to raise their level of expectations in a relationship. Do you have a son(s)? This book provides a map to move a boy from guyhood to manhood. I do not know of another book in the marketplace that so thoroughly and completely explores the subject of mate selection. Although my daughters are still quite young, they will have a copy of this book waiting for them when it's time to start looking for Mr. Right.
