Here's some money wisdom..........2001-08-11

Here's some money wisdom for you, don't waste your money on this book. This is the first thing I've ever read by Suze Orman. She sounds like a fruitcake. All she talks about is religion and other bologna. Her book has nothing to do with money other than flaunting her wealth. I'm not sure why she calls the book Money Wisdom, other than to exploit the public's hunger for financial information. After reading this I would never consider reading anything else she writes. I can't believe PBS let's her on to do free infomercials. Sample of her advice: put ten grant a year in a 401k and with 9% interest you'll have lots of money in 20 years. DA! That's not advice that's a spreadsheet. Advice is telling people where to get the extra ten grand and the guaranteed 9%. I'm just glad I got this book from the library instead of wasting my money. Now that's money wisdom.

Finance or Psychotherapy?.......2001-07-25

I was hugely disappointed with this audiobook. I was looking for financial advice and got second rate Psychology. Suze Orman appears to be a frustrated Psychotherapist, since the book focused almost entirely on psychology, emotion, spirtuality and God. Financial issues were an afterthought. She appears to have little or no knowdedge or credentials when it comes to Psychology, but that didn't stop her from grandiose speculations on Religion, Psychology and Philosophy. If you are looking for useful information on finance go elswhere. I found nothing useful that I could take away from this book and I am person who can typically find something of interest in almost anything. Qualifiers: 1) I am speaking only of the audiobook; 2) her other books may quite different and useful; 3) I did not carefully research the book to determine if it would likely contain specific financial advice; 4) her psychotherapy might prove useful to someone (just not me).

Well, it worked for me.......2001-01-10

With all due respect to the review written by Ms. Orman, regardless of the fact that this interview was not originally produced to be sold as an audio tape, it came at exactly the right time in my life. I needed to hear everything on that tape at the moment I picked it up. So even if I am the only person who benefited from the making of the tape, I am very grateful!

Save your money -- Big Disappointment.......2000-06-18

There was nothing new in/on this tape that wasn't covered in 9 Steps to Fiancial Freedom and Courage to be Rich. If you really want a tape of Suze Orman's that is useful and worth every penny, I recommend You've Earned It, Don't Lose It. You've Earned It gives solid financial advice where this tape answers no "money" questions.

Combine You've Earned It with Eight Steps to Seven Figures and you will be getting some good financial advice.

The basic theme of this tape was be pure of heart, pure of mind, and pure in intent and your mind will be clear to concentrate on making money. Ah-huh.

Book Description

This is the story of Jake MacDonald’s discovery of some of the last wild places in North America. The Precambrian Shield extends from the Arctic, across much of eastern Canada, and south into the United States. When Jake was still a boy, his father built a cottage in Manitoba. It was here that Jake developed a hankering to live in wild places, and why he decided to quit his graduate studies and explore the distant corners of the continent in a second-hand van.

First he worked as a guide, then as an odd-job person, and ultimately, as a kind of hunter-gatherer of stories. He met Inuit hunters who had been mauled by polar bears and Native trappers who walked routinely across thousands of miles of roadless wilderness. He came to know the cops, the tourists, and the Native people. He made friends with the hardy individuals who made a life for themselves in the wilderness: a German soldier imprisoned in northern Ontario in the Second World War who fell in love with the land; a guide who built an extraordinary houseboat out of exotic wood; and a bachelor known as the Prince who lived in a trailer behind a town’s community centre. In telling their stories, Jake MacDonald tells us something about the Shield Country, and something about ourselves.

MacDonald argues that the heart and soul of Canada are to be found in Shield country. On its countless cold lakes, under its impossibly starry skies, we come to know ourselves. Its vastness and indifference show us our limitations and help to define us. This exploration of Shield country is, finally, an exploration of Canada itself.

Customer Reviews:

A great Canadian biographical novel.......2002-10-24

Jake McDonald has written a touching and engaging auto biography about his search for God and himself in the wilds of North Western Ontario. Sometimes funny, often tragic this book leaves you with the feeling of being one step closer to understanding the essence of what it is to be a Canadian.

Insightful help for wanderers!.......2007-07-09

Jake MacDonald writes his memoirs, from growing up in Canada and summer trips to the lake, to his current life as a writer. But what Jake has really written is an inspiring, nature-walk of a book, drawing readers into the Canadian backwoods and showing us the glory of challenging yourself just to learn more about how you face challenges. His earthy yet beautiful descriptions of the nature he loves draw you into the relationship that humanity should have with the world around us. He gives you advice on how to become a real human being.

I haven't read anything this wonderful since Henry Beston's The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod or this funny since Molly O'Neil's Mostly True: A Memoir of Family, Food, and Baseball. Even though I rarely buy books, this has gone on my list as a "Gotta Own"!

Book Description

This text is organized into major sections on supply plumbing; water heaters; drain, waste, and vent plumbing; and fixtures and faucets. The mechanics and practical implications of water flow and pressure are covered first, to prepare for discussions of specific problems that can occur. Summary tables of piping materials help readers keep track of the variety of components they will see in practice. The text also delves into safety and efficiency issues.

Book Description

During a short but incredible life, Lola Montez transformed herself from middle-class British daughter to notorious adventurer, attracting admirers and scandal wherever she went. This highly entertaining biography uncovers the real story of one of the best-known women of the Victorian era-a dancer and actress, a power behind thrones, and a mistress across four continents.

Customer Reviews:

Does justice to its subject: a perfect biography.......2006-12-11

The editorial blurbs give the basic facts of Lola's life, but what they cannot convey is the verve with which Bruce Seymour tells her tales. A prefatory note acknowledges the game show Jeopardy as enabling him to write the book thanks to his winnings. His four years were well spent. Seymour, therefore, is no ordinary scholar on the tenure track. As a lawyer, he brings skill in analyzing documents and developing contexts within which Lola and her conquests could act within and beyond the force of the law.

He has certainly done his research, but this book wears it lightly and elegantly. Elegance for a girl from Cork who in less globalized times of instant celebrity and social networking could pose as a Spaniard, dance her way into the wallets and beds of countless besotted swains, and then, once dumped or dumping, move on to her next conquest seemingly for decades little the worse, at least on the surface, for wear. Lightly, or so she seemed, over years of unpredictable liaisons within the turmoil of 1848 and a Europe that threatened to topple the monarchies within which Lola worked her machinations and maximized her share of the winnings.

While not the dour, earnest, or sharpish stereotype of the early feminist, nonetheless she pioneered the right of a woman to be heard and her power--in and out of the boudoir being formidable--to be taken seriously by those in quite influential positions of celebrity and/or acclaim themselves. Lola early perfected her ability to live by her quick study of her suitors, her rivals, and their relative positions vis-a-vis her own advantage. The blackberried and suited type-A CEOs finding and then shattering a glass ceiling in later years also may find that her life anticipates the troubles and the triumphs of being the first woman to successfully make into fact what Becky Sharp in Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" displayed in fiction. Lola certainly does remind you of a storybook tale, in all its complications, subplots, and, well, climaxes.

This is one of my favorite books. It shows how to chart a life and from it extrapolate directions that intersect, far off, with our own condition-- as a good biography should do. Lola was one of the first mass media phenomenons. She spurred the newspapers to promote her and they were only too eager to do so. Of course, this could backfire, but she does, in her later years, appear to have thrived from no publicity is bad publicity. Yet, nearer her death, repentance did occur, and she follows again the narrative arc of so many 18 and 19c fictional protagonists.

She managed to give as good as she got. The press pumped her up and cast her aside as both would sell papers. Her notoriety, carefully cultivated, managed to ensure that for much of the 19th century's middle decades, she would remain prominent, as much so at least as the nobles and royals with whom she connived and cavorted.

Many of those enjoying via MySpace or YouTube through their Warholian fifteen minutes of fame today have Lola to thank as their unwitting predecessor. Yet Seymour neither exaggerates or diminishes her impact. His thorough research into primary and secondary sources allows him to compare what she herself wrote about her life with what happened, or as much as can be known 150 years later. This book, taking on a woman so wrapped up in whipped-up scandal and calculated brazenness, clever self-defence and bold self-aggrandizing, is a notable feat. For those in her potential audience today less hungry for today's spotlights, Lola's story, naturally, is also a cautionary tale in the personal and financial costs of so much controversy and backstabbing and maneuvering, in a time when she, as a lone woman, dared to take on the establishment with wit, intelligence, and shrewdness.

Sex and scandal at its best.......2000-11-13

Beautiful, lovely, sexy and fascinating -- makes me want to do a little Spanish dancing and start an adventure.

Couldn't put it down..........2007-10-05

Etok is my uncle. I knew it had a lot about Alaska Native land claims, but it was so much more. I learned more about my own family, more about Inupiaq culture, and of course, more about Native rights and the political resurgence of Alaska Natives. It was a really good book! I couldn't put it down.

I recommend it to anyone who's interested in Native Land Claims, or Native rights in general.

An historical look back in the recent history of Alaska.......2007-09-04

The author has captured the man who is Etok and at the same time given us a look into politics in early Alaska statehood. Etok's intensity of feelings for his people and his land was powerful and unharnessed. This is demonstrated well here. Also, we get a look into both congressional and presidential politics of this era. This book is more than about this one man.
