excellent introduction to business in Vietnam.......1999-07-17

This is a well written and informative guide. It is much better written, and much more insightful, than most books of its kind. It is very useful for any person thinking of doing business in Vietnam...in fact, I would call it "essential".

Best book on business in Vietnam.......1999-04-10

Who'd have thought some guy from Oklahoma would write this pithy discussion of business in Vietnam? Few books exist on this topic but Mr. Chambers has written the kind of honest, straightforward business book we need more of.

A poor entry in a usually reliable series........2004-07-04

The writing in this series is variable, but it's the content that we read them for. The others I have read usually score a bullseye in that respect. In this case I wish they had found someone else to write the book. The author seems to be a rich Western housewife whose colonialist attitudes are sometimes offensively apparent. A good chunk of space is dedicated to the problem of keeping the servants in line and how hard it is to find good help - which is pretty useless to the average traveller.

There is some useful cultural information buried in this entry, but not enough. Very disappointing. Not what I have come to expect. Somebody please suggest a more useful book on the subject.

This is simply a "must buy".......2000-05-30

This is one of the two books I read in preparing for a 3 week stay in Vietnam. The content was right on the mark, and helpful for even this traveler. In essential tips it more than paid for itself! It is simply a must for those traveling to Vietnam.

Culture Shock: Vietnam.......2000-01-14

This book is a must for anyone planning a visit to Vietnam. My wife and I visited Hanoi three years ago and the content of this book hit the mark. It is full of practical information that is up to date and written by someone who has been there. This book will keep you from cultural mistakes that might cause you to offend someone and will help you get around the country in a smoother way. Our family is now returning to Vietnam for a four year stay and this book will be going with us!

Book Description

How Single Mothers Can Raise Exceptional Sons
If you are one of the millions of single mothers who is raising a son, you have unique questions and special concerns, such as: What is my role as a single mother? How can I be sure that my son grows up secure in his masculine identity? Single mothering asks a lot of a woman, but the end reward is unlike any other—a son who is well-balanced, well-adjusted as a man, and ready for life's challenges.
Inside, you'll discover age-old wisdom combined with modern-day understanding that will help you deal with the tough issues of raising a son of any age, including attachment and separation, dependency and autonomy, and boundaries and privacy. You'll explore methods to build character, resilience, and identity, as well as find ways to foster healthy attitudes toward women and sex, promote educational and career success, and optimize the influence of your male friends. You'll also uncover ways to take better care of you, perhaps the most neglected aspect of being a single mom. And last, you'll learn how to prepare for the inevitable day you must eventually let your grown son go off to be a man.
"Immensely readable and informative, this is a much-needed road map for the journey single mothers and their sons travel together."
— Lee Varon, Ph.D., author, Adopting on Your Own: The Complete Guide to Adopting as a Single Parent

"Any single mother who reads this book will have the feeling that someone helpful is standing by her side."
— Michael Thompson, Ph.D., author of Raising Cain and Best Friends, Worst Enemies

American Self Help Books.......2003-03-09

Another American self help book written for self absorbed Americans. It dismisses the diverse worlds cultures and generalizes by assuming the American way is universal.

Some excerpts:

"Is is just a coinicdence that with rare exceptions, the young people who have taken guns to their schools and shot their peers and teachers have been boys?"

"Many people - and indeed, whole cultures - believe that sleeping with a parent can foster a child's inner sense of security and attachment" and then dismisses what most of the planet views by "In fact some behavioral psychologists believe that learning to fall asleep in one's own bed is one of the earliest steps towards a healthy sense of self." Then it goes on as if these views are truths.

No foot note, no reference to whom the 'some behavioral psychologist' are.

"If a boy sees his mother walk around partially dressed, or she nonchalantly allows her bathrobe to fall open when on the phone, he may experience sensations that are seductively inviting, as well as overwhelming and shame-inducing."

It leads me to wonder if all the male children of European cultures that sunbath and swim topless and nude are being damaged seeing their mothers, aunts and grandmothers topless on the beach. But then again, you don't hear about guns in schools by children there nor do they promote repressive shame-inducing attitudes towards the human body.

This book is written by American professionals in the field but I am very glad that they will not be sought for help by most.

Finally, a How-To Guide for Raising Boys!.......2002-08-25

A very enjoyable and informative read: The writing is light and witty, filled with anecdotes and nuggets of wisdom. As I read, I found myself smiling more than once as I recognized my boys -- or myself! I came away with a better understanding of boys and new, useful strategies for mothering my boys. And more compassion and pride for us moms.

Nothing new.......2002-04-23

Although most of this book was filled with useful parenting advice, it was fairly mainstream and none of it was new. Very little seemed solely applicable to boys and single moms. The last chapter was the most applicable, and that was because it was about finding time for yourself and how important that was, particularly for a single parent. On the whole, though, I would recommend any of the Sears' books, Penelope Leach's or Terry Brazelton's books. This one was ok, but since it billed itself as a book for single moms raising sons, I expected more about single moms and sons!

Fabulous!!

Boy George's book is the most honest autobiography I've read.......1999-04-11

Yes, this book is 500 pages long, but Boy George has managed to get your attention and hold onto it throughout his book. It only took me 4 days to read this book because George was so open and honest about his life, mistakes and tragedies that I couldn't set it down!

George takes you step by step through his entire life, thus far, and retraces his steps from anonymous to famous. From happiness to tears. (I even shed a few tears of happiness and sadness when I was reading it.)

If you are considering reading this book, DO NOT hesitate! You will never regret reading this book. I love Boy George, my sister on the other hand isn't all that fond of him and she still was interested in reading his book, that is how great it is!
