Cooling Tower Technology: Maintenance, Upgrading and Building

Book Description

First issued in 1986, this volume and its companion on professional sports leagues were soon recognized as "one of a kind . . . an ideal source for the sports law practitioner." Now, the editors provide a thoroughly revised and updated version. The volume identifies the most significant and current cases in amateur sports (and overlap areas in professional sports, such as tort liability and criminal law). It provides extensive analysis and interpretation of each case in clear, readable, and lively style. While designed as a text in sports law and sports management, the volume also serves as a comprehensive handbook for professionals in law firms, the leagues, associations, and among agents.

A profound joy!.......2006-02-10

I got this book as a Kwanzaa gift from my aunt and at first, I didn't know what to expect. The title seemed a bit condescending and "Uncle Tom"-ish, and Wally Amos, the COOKIE GUY???? But since I am an open minded intellectual African, I read the book, to find that I could not put it down!

Amos, a brilliant entrepeneur, has succeeded because of his positive attitude and his joyous approach to life. He makes lemonade from life's lemons (or watermelons) and is so warm and wise, he reminds me of the village elders from Africa.

The book is filled with anecdotes and pearls of wisdom culled from his own experience, as well as the history of our people, and also from philosophers and writers as diverse as Confucius and Booker T.

I most strongly recommend this book to anyone, African or not, to lift their spirits and find a way to smile though adversity.

Very Inspirational.......2002-07-22

This is a great book that gives great advice about being an individual, working hard and about other aspects of life.

"seeds of wisdom, slices of life".......2002-05-26

This is a charming, uplifting, extemely honest little book, full of nuggets of wisdom, and a glimpse into Amos' life. Measuring not much more than 5 x 7, it would make the perfect stocking stuffer, or gift for someone who needs some encouragement and a few positive thoughts.
Wally has been an adventurous soul, and has a wonderful, easy and humorous way with words. He's had his ups and downs, but has known how to get by with a fearless zest for living.

The layout is excellent, and unlike some books of this type, has no wasted space. Its 9 chapters are separated by choice quotes from wise folks like Confucius and Mark Twain, and a short "Wallymelon Lesson", like: "My experiences have shown me that life truly is a journey, and the less baggage we carry the easier the ride" (pg. 38).

I particularly liked the chapter that deals with the loss of his mother, "Gaining from Loss". It was tenderly written and quite moving. Though there's no new revelation in this book, it's an easy, refreshing read, like spoonfulls of cheer, with a lot of heart.
"...we are all strands in the tapestry of life. Whatever we do to the tapestry, we do to ourselves" (pg.83).

Incredible study on how to live your life to the fullest.......1997-03-11

So many aspects to self-help. I haven't quit talking about this book since I read it 3 weeks ago. I have purchased 3 copies so far to hand out as presents. Everybody should read this no matter what your age, you will gain a positive insight. It was recommended to me by my therapist who has been passing the "word"of Watermelon Magic on to everyone who will listen. I will be giving this book as a present to everyone that I know who has a birthday this year or Christmas or just "because they need it". The only unfortunate thing is that it is not on audio tape for the blind. Work on that

Excellent, Simple Chinese Cookbook!!! Easy to Understand.......1999-01-04

This book was recommended to me by a Taiwanese friend -- the recipes are authentic, and tasty -- and very easy to understand. Each recipe is simple and straightforward -- but on presentation, all of the meals are beautiful!

Customer Reviews:

The author speaks.......2005-04-07

As the author of the book, I am pleased to note that three executives from respected and prominant forex institutions all have endorsed my book, Electronic Currency Trading for Maximium Profit. They are with Gain Capital, Midas Forex and GCI.

Apart from their professional status, they are, of course, informed on the subject, unlike a couple of reviewers who took the time to expose their lack of experience in forex.

I assume if they are buying books on forex trading, that they are in the learning process at some level.

Between them and those who have publicly endorsed the book, I believe I will take the forex institutions.

Disappointing.......2001-10-17

This was a huge disappointment. The book is simplistic, disjointed, and offers nothing that even a novice could use. It has a feeling of being written quickly to cash in on the forex trading phenomenon. Look elsewhere for advice in particular anything by Jack Schwager or by Wiley Press, they are usually excellent.

No stars would be a better rating..........2001-07-14

If you have absolutely no knowledge of the Currency Markets then this book may be useful to you. The subtitle of the book is "Manage Risk and Reward in the Forex Markets by Learning How to:..."

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of the book is about Currency Futures and Options but NOT Forex.

Very dissapointed to have bought this book..........2001-06-13

This book is not worth the paper that it is printed on. Author does not know the subject, and does not offer any information that could not easily have been obtained online for free. Tried to contact author at his website to answer question and never responded. Classic example of take the money and run. Will never buy a book again from these authors nor from Prima Publishing.

Book Description

January 1948, at four, I discovered my father's dead body hanging over the toilet. As a result-and my mother trying to convince me it was just a dream-I was institutionalized until I had to be hospitalized. Fifty-two years later, I'm finally able to write about my life as a survivor.
