Even My Husband Loves These Recipes.......2007-03-29
Complete Diabetic Cookbook.......2001-10-16
Personally, I would prefer less recipes about desserts. There are hundreds and hundreds of these recipes. I've never really craved daily deserts or sweetened foods. After spending time in the hospital, and meeting other diabetics, this may be exactly what you need, though. Some people do eat sweet dishes frequently. I plan to use these recipies in cooking for my aging parents and myself, in order to provide things that we can all eat. I doubt I will use more than a portion of this book in my own home.
Better than most 'Regular' Cookbooks.......2000-07-01
Anyone will enjoy the foods that they make from these recipe's. This is truly a 'gourmet' cookbook, with literally thousands of recipes for everyday living. There are entree and side dish recipe's, but my favorite section are the hundreds of 'dessert' recipes. You have to try those Cream Puffs!

Can you really sign you tax forms with a clear conscience?.......1999-03-31
You cannot learn all you need to know to master the tax code, for it cannot be mastered. The IRS doesn't understand it either, they depend on force to extract 1.7 trillion dollars from a public suffering from fear and ignorance.
If you want to really learn something, study the new book by Sheldon Richman "Your Money Or Your Life." It's revolutionary!

The Mind of the Market: Spiritual Lessons for the Active Investor
F. J. Chu Manufacturer: Fraser Pub. Co. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0870341332 |
Book Description
This book offers a philosophy of mind that applies itself to financial auction markets. Chu understands that the business of money markets is forward-looking. The well-known idea that prices reflect values does not always show up in times of great market turbulence. Excellent chapters that expose the role of Wall Street in the American psyche teach you how to use your own mind within the larger mind of the market. In any market world, where rational decision making is often scarce, Chu's rules and strategy will make investing easier and more rewarding. One can become a better investor by going back and reading a book like this a second time and even thereafter. Foreword by James Grant of Grant's Interest Rate Observer.Customer Reviews:
Misleading.......2003-11-20
Because of the high praise this book recieved I was expecting some new insights or a different perspective on market psychology. Here it failed miserably. Pass on this one.
More than money.......2002-08-19
Chu enlightens us with notions such as "living to accumulate more money suggests that we are somewhat empty and incomplete, dependent on some external activity or substance to give us meaning." Chu also advocates trading with Zen-like detachment from short-term consequences. AS a money manager, I can attest to his wisdom.
Yet Mind of the Market doesn't face the unpleasant and unprofitable truth about the unfettered free market. Chu contends the existing market gives participants an opportunity to "lift themselves off their knees and to walk out of the darkness towards the sunlight." Although he admits a "small minority" doesn't have access to self-advancement (a "flaw" of a market economy), other people simply "whine about their unequal status." After all, unequal status is the market's incentive for production.
Chu's celebration of the unfettered free market ignores the huge number of souls who don't have proper nutrition, let alone capital to invest. This "flaw" is no more inevitable than it is tolerable, for there is nothing in the concept of a market economy that requires that purchasing power and opportunity be highly concentrated rather than widely distributed. While I agree with Chu's claim that unequal status motivates people, the important question is how much inequality is enought to motivate people.
Poverty is not a popular concern these days, and raising questions about distribution of wealth won't help anyone's career on Wall Street or in politics. But unflinching intellectual honesty can raise one's spiritual standing. Chu could teach the world some important lessons if only he would rethink Wall Street's advice to let capital be capital. As Chu himself says, "Few individuals have the nerve to stand outside the crowd. Indeed, to go against the crowd successfully is the hallmark of greatness...[Capitalism] humiliates those who defensively cling to the status quo."
FINALLY- THE TRUTH.......2001-12-13
Profits And Spirituality In One Dose........2000-10-20
Both professional and private investors, as well as wannabe market participants, can benefit from this book if they are open to a real learning experience that comes from a thoughtful, reflective and analytical reading.
The history of the U.S. stock market is made clear and understandable, even though the author says, "The history of the stock market is the history of forgetting." Chu is encouraging us not to forget. Outstanding writings such as Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" which explains the invisible hand of allowing us to have fair prices on goods and services, and the works of John Maynard Keynes are put into perspective.
The author observes that the financial markets keep corporations and nations in line every single day by "marking them to market." Corporations' greatest taskmaster is the stock market - much more than regulators, managers and directors, and the market for their products and services.
Chu employs pithy epigrams and aphorisms from Albert Einstein, Warren Buffet, J.K. Gailbraith and others for every chapter title. They are all thought provoking and relevant. He also outlines prerequisites for beating the market. But don't expect a pat formula. The author's suggestions have more to do with patience, when not to be in the market, and avoiding weakness in one's emotional and mental state. There is an enlightening and detailed elaboration on each bull and bear market of the 20th century, with very helpful discourse on how one might look around the corner to the next major market movement. And hang on to your hat, he has some interesting thoughts.
"The most uncelebrated and misunderstood aspect of free market capitalism is its morality. Capitalism demands discipline,hard work and frugality. It preaches giving more to the system - via investment - than one takes out. It focuses the purpose and energies of a society toward productive enterprise. Finally, capitalism celebrates the wonderful diversity of individual talent and resolve. It reallocates capital to the daring; it rewards the industrious; but it punishes the indolent; and it humiliates those who cling defensively to the status quo." This is one of the more spiritual messages one could find in a book on the stock market.
"The Mind of the Market" says that "the markets rest on an intricate theory of sin that recognizes the human tendency towards depravity and evil but attempts to draw from it its creative potential. A marketplace of sinners is transformed by the virtue of reasoned self-interest into a vessel of moral productivity."
I agree, and hope that other readers can get beyond the noise and momentarily valued "how-to-beat-the-market" books and newsletters of the gurus du jour, on to a higher playing field of undersanding with Chu.

Fills in the gaps left by the autobiographies.......2001-10-24
Editor Gerald Early offers a lengthy foreward which, at first, I thought a bit self-indulgent until I began to grasp the depth of affection he feels for his subject. Don't skip this foreward; it gets better in the later sections.
The writings in the collection are taken from various autobiographies and other texts about the era, and are insightfully organized. This book is not thoughtlessly thrown together; this is clearly a labor of love. In the first 50 pages alone I had enough of my personal Sammy myths dispelled to recommend the book. I can't help but think how I would have felt had I been the editor. The book certainly doesn't try to slam Sammy, but it does offer the bad along with the good, and it can't have been a painless decision to include some of this material. The excerpt from his daughter's book is particularly revealing, and the bit from Linda Lovelace's autobiography is nothing short of disturbing.
Sammy's own tellings of his life story are far from entirely flattering, but this excellent book brings the legend down from even that level, down to where we all live. Sammy was not a perfect man. He was a masterful entertainer. He was a lousy father. He had a heart of gold. He was into some horrifyingly self-destructive behavior. If you love Sammy the artist as much as I do, you owe it to yourself (after reading the autobiography, I think) to read this volume. It's a real eye-opener. And despite the ugly reality it sometimes offers, it hasn't diminished my love and respect for Sammy one bit. Quite the opposite.

In My Father's Garden: A Daughter's Search for a Spiritual Life
Kim Chernin Manufacturer: Algonquin Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1565121007 |
Book Description
Kim Chernin's mother was a leftist firebrand, an American Marxist at mid-century, when it was dangerous to be one. Her father, a quiet man, was no less radical. Why then, decades later, does their daughter--a liberal California psychoanalyst and writer--find herself drawn toward a spirituality that would have shocked her parents? Through three personal stories, Chernin tackles the questions that pull at all of us: how to make sense in a world whose order isn't always apparent, and how to find balance between the mind and the spirit. "Kim Chernin writes with immediacy and intimacy."--City Life, London.

IN MY FATHERS HOUSE.......2004-07-19
It amazes me how it struck my attention,
and also made me feel how valueable
I was as a woman. The sanctuary of
family, values, and morals, and
the spirit of God which is love.
I recommend this book to parents
for girls as well as boys,
it is definitely the fruits of Gods house.
I think this author is truly
a messenger from God, the value
of the soul weighs the temple of Gods love.
I am looking forward in reading many more
books by this author Jacqueline Amos.
It was well worth taking a trip
within the Fathers House.
