Being Enough - The Answers We Seek Are All Around Us

Book Description

Difficult times can test our perceptions of who we are, and cast us into the throes of conflict and self-doubt. Often we come to a point in life where we feel the need to examine how we feel about ourselves, about God, and about life and death.

After all, change is an inevitable part of life; relationships grow and fail; jobs come and go; children are born, grow up and leave home; friendships are made and lost and loved ones die.

Being Enough is beautifully written and photographed. Its healing words and pictures convey the simple beauty of nature's gifts, unmarred by everyday struggles and worries. Life has purpose and being ourselves is just what nature intended.

Great Book for Troubled Times.......2007-08-31

This is the first review I've ever written, but I saw that this little book didn't have one. I was given Being Enough when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. At the time, I focused on being perfect, and I wasn't living up to my own expectations. I was asked by the giver of the book when was it important to just be enough. I couldn't answer her, but once she handed the book to me, I devoured it. For the first time, I became conscious of my perfectionism. It also gave me a sense of stillness and that my suffering had value.

I would recommend this peaceful creation to anyone who is feeling less than and needs something uplifting.

Book Description

Winter, when plants are dormant and their leaves may have fallen, is a challenging time to identify woody flora. Designed especially for winter use and featuring almost six hundred illustrations, this taxonomic guide describes some nine hundred plant species by their twig, bud, and bark characteristics. All the trees, shrubs, and woody ground covers that grow without aid of cultivation in the Southeast are presented here, in a single reference.

Includes the following:

* native plants, as well as naturalized exotic species known to occur in at least two locations in the Southeast

* geographical coverage from east Texas and northern Florida to southeastern Kansas and southern Delaware

* spring or summer features of a plant in the absence of any reliable winter diagnostic features

* a map of the guide's coverage area and nearly six hundred illustrations that show distinguishing characteristics of twigs and buds

* a brief introduction to botanical terminology and the use of taxonomic keys, descriptions of various habitats and physiographic regions of the Southeast, a glossary, a list of references, and an index that includes common and scientific names

Book Description

When the fearless Zoe breaks her arm in a fall, Anna must brave summer camp -- and her debut as a Counselor In Training -- without her best friend. Going it alone is not something Anna is ready for. Cruising along in Zoe's shadow had been comfortable, but now Anna is out in the full glare of the sun. There's no hiding from harsh truths and plenty of people to point them out. Take Karim, the swim instructor, who has suddenly turned gorgeous but obviously hates Anna. And Anna's new friend and cabinmate Isabel -- rainbow hair, sharp tongue and no boundaries. Sooner or later Anna will have to face another hard truth: things have changed between her and Zoe and there's no going back into the shadows. But where can Anna hide when just being herself isn't nearly enough?

A Must-Read!.......2006-12-15

I wasn't to sure when I saw this book on my school's library shelf. I didn't want to read another book with the same type message, the same type of characters, and the same whole plot line. I decided to give it a shot, and I am so glad I did. This book is perfect for teenage girls. All the characters are very captivating, especially the wild Isabel. This story blends just the right amount of humour into it's plot line. I absolutley LOVED this book! One of the better 'finding yourself' books!

The Isabel Factor.......2006-12-11

I loved this book. It is so captivating and exciting. Once you get started you can't stop reading it until you've finished it, and even then you still want more! The plot is GENIUS! I love the way Galye Friesen keeps adding exciting news all through the book!

Don't waste your time; I wish I hadn't!.......2006-10-11

I'm not quite sure what drew me to this book, but it was truly, shockingly boring. There were a few good laugh lines, but mostly just female bonding of the bland kind mixed with a smidgen of self-realization.

Really, that can still make for a good book, if the characters are interesting and draw you in their narrative.

This is NOT that book.

QofA #14.......2006-01-13

"I didn't think it would turn out this way (pg. 217)" This quote from The Isabel Factor the story of two best friends, Anna, the nice girl, and Zoe, the adventurous one, who have never been apart in their lives. They were planning to become CIT's at their favorite camp on a beautiful Canadian Island. This was going to be the best summer ever! "I can barely stand it, not being outside, not being near the water, (pg. 18)" said Zoe just before she breaks her arm and ruins the plan by not coming to camp. Anna is very sad and does not want to go, but is forced by her wild mother. When Anna first walks inside camp, Big Jack, the camp director, is there with a warm hug. Everyone asks where Zoe is and to protect Zoe, Anna has to tell a lie to all her friends and counselors. In her cabin, she meets Isabel, a rainbow- haired girl who has her own opinion about everything. "Keep her in line. Get her to see how important this is (pg. 78)" said the bossy Jennifer, a cabin mate who gave Anna the job to watch Isabel all summer. Surprisingly, they start to become friends. About half way through the summer, Zoe arrives at camp and everyone is excited. Anna hoped Isabel and Zoe would become friends, but that could never happen because of their differences. Anna needs to find out what happened to the Zoe she used to know and how to deal with all her problems at camp.

If one is looking for a book about best friends and camp, would be the book. However, this book is not a fantasy, every detail is realistic. The Isabel Factor is an interesting, fiction book with lots of adventure. It is very exciting with a very surprising and shocking ending. It almost blew me out of my seat! I could barely put the book down because it makes me curious about what would happen next. This is a unique book to read because of its details about the setting. I could picture the modern day Canadian Island because of the description. The Isabel Factor is very different from other books, even books of the same genre. I have never read a book that has as many problems as this one has, but it makes the book exciting and interesting!

This book is highly recommended for teenage girls since they can relate this book to their own lives. It tells teenage girls to be themselves and how to treat friends. Other books similar to this one are The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares. While they are both about friendship and have many similarities, the Isabel Factor uses more detail and is more realistic. This is a book I believe a teenage girl would enjoy and is an astounding book to read.

Book Description

This book offers the reader an integrated point of view of fertilization in the animal kingdom. As the research at the molecular and cellular level is scarce compared to the huge diversity of animal species, for each phylum or class representative species have been chosen. Each phylum/class begins with a general description of the sexual and asexual reproduction strategies of the respective species, followed by a description of the reproductive cycle as well as of its reproductive system. The main focus is on the cellular and molecular aspects of fertilization of all the selected representative species, and the book is fully illustrated with photographs and drawings to facilitate understanding.

Book Description

Integral inequalities involving functions with bounded derivatives, otherwise known as Ostrowski-type integral inequalities, have enjoyed a surge in popularity. This field has developed significantly over the last few years, and has yielded many new results and powerful applications in numerical integration, probability theory and stochastics, statistics, information theory, and integral operator theory.
The main aim of the present work is to present a number of selected results on Ostrowski-type integral inequalities. Results for univariate and multivariate real functions and their natural applications in the error analysis of numerical quadratures for both simple and multiple integrals as well as for the Riemann-Stieltjes integral are given. Topics dealt with include generalisations of the Ostrowski inequality and its applications; integral inequalities for n-times differentiable mappings; three-point quadrature rules; product-branched Peano kernels and numerical integration; Ostrowski-type inequalities for multiple integrals; results for double integrals based on an Ostrowski-type inequality; product inequalities and weighted quadrature; and some inequalities for the Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
This book is intended for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of integral inequalities, approximation theory, applied mathematics, probability theory and stochastics, and numerical analysis.

A great introduction into some very important topics.......2002-06-30

I read this book with an open mind, ready for anything. I was happily surprised to find that for a book with such political implications the authors remained true to their goal: discovery of the truth. No matter whether you agree with them or not, this book is a valuable tool for anyone. It teaches us how to look objectively and carefully at topics that we often have preconditioned ideas about. If anything, its an excercise in intellectualism. This book gives true meaning to the journey over the destination.
