Ideal for those new to personal growth and struggling with life balance.......2006-07-22

Extremely well written, easy to read, but unlikely to provide much new information for dedicated self improvement junkies.

Andrea Molloy is a leading New Zealand life coach. Her style of writing is easy to read and the book has separate sections for tips, exercises and helpful examples.

The material is unlikely to be new but it is very well explained and the layout is excellent. If you are new to personal growth or having difficulty managing your life this book contains simple guidelines with easy to follow steps to help you get your life in balance. If you are more experienced in personal growth or self-coaching it is a helpful refresher but you may prefer to buy a book that delves deeper into the subject.

Book Description

This book provides a concise legal and practical overview of the creation, protection and enforcement of sports image rights in EU Member States, pre-May 2004. It also examines the sports image rights of Norway and Switzerland and looks comparatively at the USA. Each chapter is devoted to a review of the applicable legal rules on sports image rights in an individual country. A separate chapter deals with some of the fiscal aspects of the subject. In addition, where appropriate, practical matters, such as the contents of contracts, are also examined and explained.

Great book.......2001-03-18

If you think the natural world is boring, buy this book! It can serve as either a reference or a source of countless hours of enjoyable reading. The phenomena described are eerie, fantastic, or simply weird, and all of them are interesting. The book illustrates beyond doubt how far we have to go before we completely understand what happens on this planet.. An example, ball lightning has been observed for many centuries, even photos exist, but only recently has a complete scientific explanation been forwarded. Mainstream science has indeed overlooked many of these phenomena, whether because of their rarity and the consequent lack of data, their sheer multitude, or fear that they might be associated with fringe paranormal groups (this book clearly isn't). But, that doesn't prevent you from reading and speculating about them.

This Is My Favorite Book On Nature's Mysteries........2000-05-28

When I first noticed this Handbook Of Unusual Natural Phenomena, it was laying on a book shop's discount table. And I didn't realize that it was about to become one of my most precious possessions. I refer to this book whenever I see any of nature's best sky shows. The cover of my 1977 edition, on a hardback I have carefully covered with plastic, shows a hand upraised in the dark. There are two types of lightening in the sky, and the Aurora Borealis, then a miniature rainbow emanates from each of the fingers spread out. Inside the book are hundreds of other drawings, accompanied by clearly written text, to define and discuss many kinds of unusual occurrences. At first you should just casually go through this book, getting a sense of all the things cataloged, because it will prepare you for noticing far more than what most people realize is happening over their heads. This is not a book about unidentified flying objects, unless comets with halos will do, but it can be just as exciting to identify natural mysteries. When you see rainbows, for example, you will be able to discern what's common or rare. Some rainbows are doubled, some join clouds together, some connect with objects, some only seem to connect to objects. Different categories for sunsets are also defined. I once kept a written log of the sunsets I saw, describing each day's display for a month. Although most of them were simply pleasant to watch, and not really that weird, on one occasion the round shape of the sun became a near perfect square! As I saw this from an area in San Francisco called the Sunset District, a local newspaper editor appreciated and published the sighting. In that article I credited this book, and later received a nice letter from Mr. Corliss. The square shaped sunset, which appeared on a Valentine's Day, generated so much interest that I wished I had brought along a camera. Then there was another notable natural event, one which occurred while I was visiting a friends house. I stood on his back porch after the sun had set, and noticed two peculiar lines which seemed to be dividing the sky into three parts. These stretched like telegraph lines all across the sky, just as if the Egyptian sky goddess, Nut, was responsible. I wiped my glasses and looked away, but each time the lines appeared. Finally I asked my host to come out, without any descriptive hints, to tell me what he saw up there (Just in case I was the nut). The sighting was soon confirmed, as he also saw the lines, and he ran in to alert his wife. When I got home I opened up this book and read the paragraphs which applied to this particular phenomena, where lines divide the sky. I was even more surprised that Corliss listed it as a highly rare occurrence. This may be because the lines are rather thin, and easy to miss. I kind of tingled all over, because I knew I was fortunate enough to experience something that few people even knew existed. Each person who gets this book is going to use it a bit differently; appreciating it mostly for whatever they can apply it to personally. A Japanese lady I know looked through my copy and soon joyously shouted out: "I've got a photograph of that!" She had been vacationing in Hawaii, and taking special notice of a rainbow which was doubled, managed to get a perfect photo. I received this as a gift, and it sits in my book alongside a photograph I shot of some rare clouds (This handbook has one similar to mine and defines it as a "Morning Glory"). Photos became the only place markers I use for this particular book. Although Corliss didn't mention it, a natural phenomenon is associated with Bolinas, California, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. One day a man was sitting in his car reading a sports page, he was parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean outside Bolinas (Where Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds was filmed). After a while he peered out over the ocean and realized he was looking at the illusion of an island. It was sitting just a short distance offshore. This island even had castles with turrets and walls, and a jeweled sparkle almost like an advertisement for Disneyland. The man got out of his car and shouted down to a park ranger and a tourist. They too acknowledged that they could see it. At the Bolinas Post Office the postmistress told a reporter she had seen it on a previous occasion. None of the witnesses, nor the reporter, had seen Corliss' book; so the story was published without anyone knowing that the scientific name is Marine Morgana. Good luck, and good hunting.

Totally Awesome.......1998-06-08

Read this book. Forget UFO's, MIB's and other stuff like that. The Real mysteries are the ones that Nature produces and our own scientists have no explanation for. This book documents almost all types of natural phenomena for the past couple of hundred years! I highly recomend this book to anyone that has ever wonderd about something that they have seen, like a horizontal rainbow or a blue ring around the moon. This is a totally awesome book.

Excellent! Highly recommended........1996-07-19

This is the book the X-files was afraid to tell you about! Corliss has gathered vivid accounts of the unexplained mysteries of nature--and without loosing a sense of awe and wonder. Yet he does not look for explainations in the weird or supernatural, but attempts to show that there must be some natural but unknown process at work. Indeed, he shows "modern" science guilty of too complacient, too narrow a view--and we are all knowledge impoverished as a result. Since "chance favors the prepared mind," I have been privledged to see some of the phenomena described in this book, and I am very grateful for the broadening of my observation of rare spectacles of nature.

Wealth and Manifestation.......2007-05-13

Teachings in letter form from the early 20th century, based on a woman's own experience of lack, and learning the laws of the universe that brought her out of that state and able to teach others. Very well written, succinct, and nice because you can read a short letter of 2 or 3 pages at a time, and get a good teaching on the subject. Highly recommended for people with short attention spans or who like reading only a few pages at a time, and who would like more info about manifesting wealth.

What its about, in the authors words..........2007-03-04

I quote the following passage to let the author illustrate the tenor of this book - if you like books like the "Attractor Factor" or "The Secret." you owe it to yourself to have a look at this one - one of those that started it all.

"Why is it so hard to comprehend, when it is so simple? You cannot expect a flow of oil or increase of meal until you begin to use; you cannot pour water from a pitcher until you take the pitcher in hand and begin to pour. Herein is one of the mighty occult truths I promised to give when you had complied with my terms. I do not need your money, but I do need your faith in me"

A Simple Book of our Secret Inner Strength.......2007-03-04

Digging in the depths of time.......2004-10-26

In the quest for learning about our ancient ancestors, placing artefacts in their original context is essential. It's not enough to locate fossil bones or stone chips as once we did. Now, where those people lived, what they ate, what environmental conditions they enjoyed, plus a multitude of other factors must be integrated to build a realistic picture of their life. Not many years ago we could only guess many of these elements. Fagan explains how today's technologies have taken us far beyond the capabilities of the shovel and brush in revealing details of our ancestors' lives.

In this series of accounts, we accompany Fagan on his visits to various archaeological sites. There, he explains what led to the original find, how it was excavated and what processes were involved in explaining the artefacts. There are many tools available to the field researcher today. Most of them are of recent origin and refinements in the future will improve accuracy. Among the most important of the new technologies is, of course, dating techniques. Fossils seem almost capricious in their location. They may be resting where they fell, or earth's many forces may have carried them about. Streams, tides, scavengers, simple burial practices may place remains in a misleading site. Radiometric dating methods, the decay of an element into another, has proven the most reliable of determining the age of a find. The method applies equally to recent skeletal artefacts or evidence from surrounding environment. Seeds, charcoal from firewood, even the long-dead husks of insects may offer clues to age and local conditions.

The various technologies have widened the spectrum of expertise drawn to archaeological sites. More than simply placing human fossils in a local context, larger patterns are derived from the evidence. Pollen samples demonstrate whether the ancient inhabitants lived in open plain, scattered woodland or congested forest. Dung beetles suggest domestic cattle, while other species may suggest thatched houses or stored grain. Each type of investigation requires a specialist, and one versed in recognising changing conditions as well as static, long-term patterns. Human uses of wood are many and varied, and the counting of tree rings becomes an important element in both dating and environmental clues.

Fagan's personal touch gives what might be a dreary account a vibrant life. We slog through damp, muddy bogs in Britain with Francis Pryor, sort through Euphrates valley plant seeds with Gordon Hillman, and reflect on Egyptian wine vintages from Pharonic times. It's not all dry, dusty or boggy antiquity Fagan relates. In Peru, there proves to be modern application for ancient wisdom. In the Andean hills, he shows how archaeology can become an applied science. Techniques for saving water, keeping root crops frost-resistant and utilising soil resources to the fullest that were used by the ancient Incas are now being applied by local farmers. The Altiplano region, long thought to be too desolate or subject to capricious weather, is now estimated to support up to 1.5 million people using these methods. The region's populace understands how conditions vary, and have established mutually supportive communities to extend the practices and provide support in stressful times. Centralised rule from the capital proved flawed, and the regional communities developed their own system. It's a fine object lesson for others. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

This is a brief overview of Time Detectives.......1998-08-06

Time Detectives is a book about archeology and modern technology. This book describes archeological surveys in North and South America, Africa, and Europe. The most interesting aspect of this book is the methods of archeological research. It is very technical in describing various methods from piecing bone fragments together to radio-carbon dating processes.

In reading this book, one learns that modern archeology is primarily conducted in a lab. The artifacts being transported from the field into various labs in the Americas and Europe. For example, David Cohen excavated a site where a group of hunters and foragers camped in a sandy clearing near Meer in Northern Belgium. He found an area near the site where there were small flint fragments. The pieces were fitted together, and the discovery that there were two persons chipping away on a bit of cobble emerged. The more amazing discovery was that one was right handed, and the other was left handed emerged as th! e chips fit back together.

Another interesting aspect covered in this book is underwater archeology. The various techniques in preserving artifacts are discussed in technical detail. The hardships the divers endure are also discussed. The care of getting preserved artifacts from the ocean floor to the surface without damage is tremendous.

Overall, this book is very challenging reading. The reader discovers that archeology as a science is useful when considering such things as air pollution, simple mechanical discoveries, and survival of the human race. The technical aspects of this book are probably over the heads of my age group (16-18), but it is still interesting reading.

This is a brief overview of Time Detectives.......1998-08-06

No Indiana Jones here, or is there?.......1997-06-14

The book is composed of a series of articles about how archeology has evolved from its romantic (and mostly careless) beginnings to a more thorough and precise science. How we have shifted our interest from just dazzling treasures to seeds and excrements. Most importantly, it informs the reader about the thrill that is derived with our methods of today from insignificant pieces of pollen or rotten wood and how this pieces give us a broader picture into the past than the mere recollection of statues and hidden treasures. So if you are in for the adventure of real science, dive right in. If you expect an Indiana Jones type book, you might find it also but you'll have to look a little harder.
