Book Description

The Agricultural Outlook sets out the major forces that will shape agricultural markets up to 2003. Which uncertainties affect the agricultural outlook? And what key issues will confront OECD policy makers? This essential tool for all those involved in agricultural markets highlights current trends, shows how these are influenced by government policies, and warns against potential pitfalls. Continued economic growth and less market intervention by governments set the scene for an increasing volume of trade and generally stronger international prices for cereals, oilseeds, meat and dairy products into the new millennium. Further reform of agricultural and trade policies would likely accentuate these trends. But there are a number of new issues emerging, mainly in the areas of food safety, animal welfare and the environment that could become increasingly important. Policy responses to these issues could have a significant impact on the longer term outlook, particularly for livestock products. Tables provide detailed projections to 2003 for production, consumption, trade, stocks and prices in OECD countries and selected information on non-member countries. The complete database and results of major scenarios discussed in the report are available on diskette.

I bought this book for my son. He is very interested in Kabbalah and astrology. He says it is a very good book. He enjoyed it very much.

The Star Connection.......2005-10-21

A great book for those who want to pursue the study of the cosmic system and how it effects our daily lives.

Not what you think.......2000-07-26

Rav Berg is wonderful. There is nothing like picking up a book expecting fluffy spiritual ideals only to be slapped in the face by stark intellectual reasonings. Those that are truely searching for spirituality will find it here if they can get over the shock of sound rational reasonings and hard driven knowledge. This book makes it clear that while the Kabbalah is a spiritual goldmine it is also equally scientific. The material in here is useful to both Jewish people as well as non-Jewish people and explains clearly that astrology is as much a part of creation as we are and explains just why Kabbalists tell us that it is a way for us to understand our place in the universe and how important that is.

A Revelation!.......2005-10-04

The Zohar is widely considered the most important work of Kabbalah and Waite aids the reader in unraveling many of its most important themes such as the nature of God, the origin and structure of the Universe, the nature of souls, sin, redemption, good and evil. It typifies the highest degree of divine love as esthetic contemplation. It is still a treasured part of the Hasidim and held in great reverence by many Orthodox Jews as well. If you know nothing about the Zohar, then this is an excellent place to start your education!

A Dynamic and Interesting Study of Kabbalah for All Readers.......2003-11-17

I read tons of spiritual and religious books as a reviewer for several different websites, but I must say that I really got so much out of this book. The Kabbalah has always fascinated me, but other books I've read got so boring and technical, I tended to stop reading them before I learned anything. This book is a stand-out, and that is saying a lot!

Gary Hanson does a remarkable job of describing the Kabbalah - its history, purpose and meanings, in a way that is not only totally understandable, but totally revelant to our own life and life issues. I really grasped the concepts of the 10 Sephiroth, their meaning, their attributes and how they can help me in my own life. The writing style is so direct and non-technical, that any reader with any level of Kabbalic understanding will be able to "get it."

I also really enjoyed the summaries Gary provides at the end of each chapter. Repetition is the mother of wisdom! I guarantee this book will get you as excited about the Kabbalah as it did me, and my only complaint would be that I wanted it to continue. Perhaps the author can think about writing a follow-up that specifically gives exercises and examples of how to turn this new knowledge into useful ways to improve our lives. He hints at it in this book, and I, for one, look forward to more.

Book Description

For over a decade, Chicagoans woke up to Bob "Uncle Bobby" Collins on their radio. The WGN-AM 720 morning radio host's tragic death in an airplane crash in February brought an outpouring of emotion and tears as Chicagoans sought to share their grief. Noted for his folksy radio personality, Collins was as genuine as he seemed and a friend to many. His charitable works, especially to the Salvation Army and WGN's Neediest Kids Fund, were unmatched. Every morning Uncle Bobby is missed in Chicago.

"I Remember Bob Collins" is a collection of stories and memories about the legendary broadcaster from his family, friends, fans, fellow broadcasters, and the media. Some notable figures include Wally Phillips, former Governors Jim Edgar, James R. Thompson, Dutchie Caray, John Records Landecker, Bob Barry, Dick Duchossois, Mayor Daley, and Spike O'Dell as well as many others who share their memories of Bob Collins.

Bob Collins Through Many Eyes.......2000-08-16

There are many ways to write a biography, but I think the most interesting format is to let those who knew the subject tell their stories unencumbered. If that seems to be a simple technique, trust me, it actually requires a very skilled interviewer to pose the kind of questions which elicit coherent answers. Author Quade knows exactly how to do that, judging by the stories in this book. She has wisely left their words intact, sparing them from the editorial Cusinart which often destroys interviews by "cleaning them up." These stories are collected from real people, and they sound like it.

The contributors range from old friends to business associates, politicians, other radio personalities and "ordinary" listeners who felt a special closeness to a man most had never met.

What emerges from these stories is a man seemingly untouched by the fame (and power) which attach themselves to people in his position. He seems to have remained his real self, a "smart-alecky guy with a penchant for rock and roll ..", "a hillbilly from Florida who was articulate and funny." And his listeners responded to this persona by expressing in their various ways how they knew he was "just one of the guys." Meaning, "like us."

They rewarded him (and WGN) with, according to Quade, a 10.4 audience share, "unheard of in the highly competitive [Chicago] market."

In fact, I believe DJ Dick Biondi had equally powerful numbers, but that was many years ago, long before radio audiences became fragmented into so many demigraphic slivers. So to equal or better his ratings in today's radio universe is indeed proof of just how well he connected with his audience.

The point here, demonstrated by Quade's interviews, is that Collins was seen by an extremely broad-based listenership as the man they wanted to listen to, four hours a day. While one would not expect to read negative comments in such a book, it is remarkable how many people really liked him, and the personal way they reacted to his untimely death. They lost a good friend, and "I Remember Bob Collins" demosntrates why they felt that way.

A perfect tribute.......2000-07-17

I heard about this book in a radio interview with the author. She told annecdotes from the book and talked about Bob Collins and his radio legacy. After reading the book, I was impressed by how many people contributed to it. Bob always phoned his parents on the show and both Candi and Jack Packett comment on him saying, "I'm going to miss his calls. His hearty laugh and all. He was always concerned about what we were doing, what the kids were up to. I'll miss that."

My favorite story is from a fan, Judith Perkinson. She speaks about her father who is blind and lives alone. After his wife died, her dad had a hard time adjusting to life. He knew it was morning when he heard Bob's voice and started each day with him. Bob Collins became his radio friend. The story was really touching. There are so many ways you can influence other people's lives with out even knowing it. Her dad never contacted Bob but this book highlights that he was not alone in calling Bob his friend.

The book reminded me just how much "Uncle Bobby" will be missed. The stories are all unique and reinforce what a great guy he really was, not just on the radio. It is hard to get to know someone, especially a celebrity, but reading the stories gave me more insight into the Bob I have listened to for years.

I was a fan of "Uncle Bobby" for years - and miss him dearly. I've been going to the WGN web site (wgnradio.com) to read the messages and listen to Uncle Bobby's favorite bits. I got more out of the web site than this book. It seems to be more of an attempt to gather stories from co-workers and people on the message boards - it is a light tribute with little depth in that respect. Like people sharing stories at a wake. I also read that the family does not support the book because of the way the author unsympathetically hounded them days after the accident. Not as good as the message boards and actually listening to that great laugh on the WGN web site. I'd pass on the purchase of this one and go to the web site.

This book is excellent. I have listened to Bob Collins every morning for years. I saw Feder's great review in the Sun-Times and got a copy immediately. Any fan of Bob Collins should buy this book.

I miss Uncle Bobby.......2000-06-28

This book is wonderful. After Bob died in the plane crash, I was really taken back by all the fans who felt like I did. My office talked about his death for several days and I realized just how quickly life can change. Reading this book, made me wish that Bob knew how much he was loved by everyone. It is sad that people express their feeling after a person dies. This book captures the sadness of his death as well as the joy of having known or listened to Bob. Anyone reading the book will learn more about his life. Each story tells how he influenced the persons life reinforcing the positive effect of goodwill and generosity. I Remember Bob Collins is a wonderful tribute to the life of Uncle Bobby.
