Library Journal's review of this guide: "Combining encyclopedic coverage of destinations with loads of practical information and atlas-type maps, the series illuminates the wonders of nature but emphasizes the peculiarity of a place's people and their folklore."

Book Description

The Medal of Honor, one of the world's most highly revered military decorations, has been awarded to 3,457 men and one woman since its inception on December 21, 1861. This honor is bestowed upon those individuals who demonstrate courage in a life-threatening situation, who put their own lives at risk for the sake of others, and who display valor above and beyond the call of duty.

This text details the stories of the 88 African Americans who have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Each entry chronicles the acts of bravery and courage that led to the serviceman's receiving this honor. Beginning with a brief history of the Medal of Honor, the book is then divided into eight sections covering every major conflict from the Civil War through the Vietnam War. An appendix of the number of medals awarded by wars and campaigns, a bibliography, and an index are included.

Book Description

Imagine a spiritually evolved writer like Richard Bach as a sensual woman... fluttering in the wind... flying... on the feather of sex... reaching beyond herself...evolving...

Now, imagine that this woman has lived... more than most... inside the secrets that she has hidden from herself and those around her...

This woman has succeeded from moment to moment... as a writer, a singer, an actress, and a standup comedienne...who has often struggled... with responsibility...stretching farther than she should...to feed and house... her eight children... her four grandchildren... herself.

A woman who sometimes... found the answers by working as an escort... who cared... enough to use that feather... of total love... to tickle... to tantalize... and ease the aloneness of men and occasionally, even of women.

And now imagine that she is real and that her story is true and that she has written a book... with her life as a backdrop... as she lets one lover go to embrace another... and discovers the soul of herself.

If you like a good journey, this is a must read..........2004-05-20

Lynette takes you on her life's journey through an incredible use of metaphor, humor and stream-of-consciousness style of writing. Her story is compelling, touching, often hilarious, sensual, and extremely brave. I loved how her thoughts meandered off into other poetic thoughts always making their way back to the main topic. I was never lost. I love a book that makes me cry and also laugh out loud! I highly recommend it!

This book will certainly make you think outside of Pandora's box. Ms. Louise has opened every door...go ahead...walk on through.

Lots of learnings, a fun read!.......2003-10-05

Lynette Louise's "Jeff" is a journey through the mind of the author, often free associating, poetic, laden with multifaceted meanings created by the use of metaphor, puns and the unorthodox use of commas. Lynette Louise makes fascinating connections in the playground of her mind, entertaining, revealing, sharing pain and humiliation along with the joy and exhilaration of her personal discoveries. Lynette charts her journey of breaking repeated patterns in her life and taking control of her destiny. I met the author last summer and read the book out of a desire to understand the incredible energy and determination behind the woman who took on so many challenges and is filled with love of life, humor and playfulness. The book is truly a reflection of the author: intelligent, out there, brave, witty and unique.

Outstanding Insight.......2003-08-13

Having known Lynette for several years when she worked the local stand-up comedy circuit, I was both thrilled and jealous at her most recent accomplishment. After I began reading what I was sure had to be a "chick book", and looking for every possible flaw, I was simply trapped into it. I had no idea what was going on inside this woman's head (and body and life) until she willingly opened up in a self realization (and self critisism and self congratulating) explosion of honesty. The truths about everything from her fears to her sexual desires (and escapades!) were funny, tragic, terrifying, and many times mystifying. Hopefully I will be able to cross paths with her again, because I need to have this book autographed, not because I collect autographs, but because I want to have the book held (and possibly left with some of her amazing spirituality) by the woman who lived it.

WOW!.......2003-06-28

What a roller coaster ride of self discovery! I couldn't put this book down, for it's sheer honesty! Lynette's writing style is so different and poetic it took me a little getting used to for the first few pages but after that I was hooked. A must read for anyone who loves to laugh (and I mean LAUGH!) and cry at the same time. I highly highly highly reccomend it!

I can't believe this clown is still writing books.......2007-04-08

How do Michaelson's books keep getting 5 stars? Does he get all of his friends to rate his lame books as soon as he publishes them? This book was great the first time I read it -- when it was called "Sun Tzu for Business."

Please stop buying his books, so he'll go away.

Thanks.

Just Another Run-of-the-Mill Sales Book Riding on the Sun Tzu Franchise.......2006-06-19

I read this book with high expectations that a lot of people equate business/ selling with warfare, and I'd like to see if someone can actually draw the correlation.

Unfortunately, while there are a lot of tips on selling, which could have been covered within Selling 101, there is minimal coverage on Sun Tzu's military strategies here.

The book cover also mentioned abt Customer Relationships, which is not substantially covered in the book as well. I guess by marketing it as what it's not, it's bad for customer relationsips too!

You Must Try Out This Concept .......2005-12-07

I read about Gerald Michaelson's Sun Tzu in the review section of a local daily and I promptly ordered a copy. Reading it was a rich experience and the unique ways in which Gerald Michaelson has combined ideas from the West (which concentrates on the big battle as the way to win) and the East (which aims to win without fighting) is just brilliant.

I went a step ahead and took the book to a company meeting and read aloud a few excerpts, which I felt would be useful for my team. It was an interesting experience for all. The simplicity and various ways with which the concepts and wisdom of East and West can be combined to help you in achieving success, have been explained in a marvelous way. In fact, I have already used some of the sales tactics mentioned in the book.

I give 5 stars to Gerald Michaelson's Sun Tzu Strategies for Selling and recommend it as `A Must Read' for anyone involved with Selling.

Sun Tzu: Strategies for Selling.......2003-11-24

Another delicious offerring from Gerald Michaelson. The East and the West has its own unique strenghs. In This book, Mr Michaelson integrates the eastern and western wisdom into a synergistic strategic and tactical endeavours. In this fantastic book the twain have met.

Drawing on examples from today , and based on lessons from the past, this book belongs to every serious selling professionals. Read this book and you are closer to Tao: the effortless way, winning without fighting.

A Little Disappointing..........2006-07-20

I'm a huge Ella fan, but not much is available about her personal life. This is a decent book if you want to know more about Ella's career; in that respect, it's pretty exhaustive and very detailed. I was a little disappointed in the overall quality of the book, however. It has a cheap feel to it, the paper is shoddy, the pictures look as though they were run through a copier, and there are many, many typos and punctuation errors. I also wasn't crazy about the writing style. But for you die-hard Ella fans, I would suggest that you read the book and get what you can out of it.

Geoffrey Mark Fidelman LOVES Ella.......2006-04-06

Ella Fitzgerald is my favorite singer. I think that her best work is outstanding. I wish that this book was too. This is an okay biography of Ella's life and career. The author is clearly a fan and has some trouble being objective about some of Ella's work (especially her later work in which she had clearly lost a lot of her voice due to illnesses); however, the book gives you a detailed overview of Ella's numerous appearances on television, her performances with Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong, and her extensive recordings.
There is another book about Ella by Stuart Nicholson that you may want to read too. It is rather dry in comparison to this book, but I found that by blending Mr. Fidelman's almost-giddy prose with Nicholson's workman-like style, I did come away with a feeling for the woman who Ella was.

Not as bad as reviewed.......2005-03-24

The reviews are a little unfair. This is accurate and written with passion. The tone has clearly offended. However I do believe that the definitive biography has yet to be written. I hope somebody is putting it together as I write; maybe Will Friedwald or David Ritz will do it.

Laughably unprofessional.......2003-12-29

I must first commend Fidelman for his relatively thorough documenting of Ella's recordings, concerts, and television appearences; if this book is at all worthwhile, it is to learn more about the lady's career.

That being said, the author has here penned one of the most unprofessional works of biography ever published. He sets the tone early, recounting the ways he was denied access to Fitzgerald's inner circle with all the righteous, catty anger of the dorky girl excluded from the popular group in middle school. He punctuates various passages with tangents that have little or nothing to do with Fitzgerald's life and legacy, including a plea for record labels to reissue the works of the great stars of the mid-twentieth-century, and mentions of his having written liner notes for certain Fitzgerald releases. The majority of the book's narrative is written in a silly tone which belies any attempt by Fidelman to cast himself as a serious biographer. His insight into Fitzgerald the woman is nil. This is all in addition to his highly questionable and tabloid-esque recounting of a tragic interview with Joe Pass, suffering from terminal cancer, which seems only to be included due to Joe's saying he doesn't know why he's telling Fidelman this - perhaps an attempt by GMF to indicate some sort of personal relationship with the legendary guitarist.

I would not go so far as to tell Fitzgerald fans to avoid this book, nor would I send them running to Stuart Nicholson's dull, fact-heavy tome; a compelling, authoritative biography of the great jazz singer has not yet been written. I would instead advise possible readers to approach "First Lady of Song" with very low expectations, and then purely from an informational standpoint.

Unworthy Bio of the First Lady of Song.......2002-10-07

This alleged biography of Ella Fitzgerald is seriously flawed and not recommended. At its most basic, the book is simply not a serious biography written in a professional manner. For example, the author CONSTANTLY interupts the narrative to give the reader HIS opinions of each and every song she sings, her weight and even her wigs. Even the captions to the photos are annoying ("Still hiding her figure for Verve"..."Oh those awful wigs") This is not acceptable or serious writing for a biography. He also seemingly attempts to convince the reader that he knew Ella personally, sometimes referring to her (annoyingly) as "Miss Fitz." Another complaint: the author talks knowingly about live recorded concert albums leading the reader to believe he has some inside knowlege of a concert, when in reality he is simply relating what is on the actual album for everyone to hear. He also refers to others he supposedly interviewed by their first names ("Keeter" Betts, "Danny" Kaye). Was he really on a first name basis with these people? Of course, we don't know who he interviewed, or when he interviewed them, because there aren't any notes in the book to prove it. If you want a serious bio of the great singer, instead of this thing, I recommend the much-respected "Ella Fitzgerald" by Stuart Nicholson.

Raab has written that type of book where you can't turn each page without contemplating every word, though, and emotion. Her memoir is a beautiful lesson, 'that no matter how much hatred and pain there is in the world, it is always important to see that there is still some beauty left.' Her book is a triumph to the human spirit.
