    Book Description

    Le Corbusier became famous throughout the world for his unique contribution to 20th century architecture. His buildings and projects are internationally acclaimed and widely documented. Now the time has come to discover the man behind the architecture. Jean Jenger, longtime President of the Fondation Le Corbusier, has selected 322 of the most attractive and interesting letters from over 5000 of Le Corbusier's correspondence documents, many of them previously unpublished. For the first time a quite different yet authentic image of the Swiss-French architect emerges: behind the shy and brusque manner, a sensitive even gentle person is to be found. Full of surprises, this volume not only reveals the private side to a public figures, it is also the portrait of an era.

    Book Description

    Many of the teachings from Guru Padmasambhava's time in Tibet, concealed for centuries for the sake of future disciples, are now translated and collected in this practice manual and reference guide for followers of the Nyingma tradition. When Guru Padmasambhava came to Tibet from India in the eighth century, he became known as Guru Rinpoche, the Precious Teacher. One of the greatest enlightened masters and most miraculous adepts of the Buddhist world, Guru Rinpoche is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and is referred to as the Second Buddha by his followers. Various types of sacred texts are included in this volume including prayers of supplication to the Guru Rinpoche himself and his guidance for achieving profound wisdom through devotion and meditation.

    5 out of 5 stars An extremely valuable prayer book.......2005-07-06

    This volume includes many highly stimulating prayers, rich in visual imagery and meaning. They serve as magnificent gateways for generating devotion (indispensible for use with guru yoga), maintaining pure perception, generating merit, and creating conducive circumstances for practice. There is a huge variety in the styles of the prayers, as they reflect the four Buddha activities of peace-giving, enriching, magnetizing and destroying.

    Many of the prayers weave together or deepen already familiar concepts. For example, the prayer given to King Trisong Deutsen integrates descriptions of various sambhogakaya purelands, Yeshe Tsogyal's prayer includes an immaculately detailed description of the Copper Colored Mountain, and the remover of obstacles prayer integrates 13 different demon-subduing activities of Padmasambhava from his life story.

    It is really a remarkable book... If one recites one of these prayers with full concentration, the effect is quite amazing. This book is a very special means for nurturing the mind with massive amounts of positive impressions.

    5 out of 5 stars Buy and practice with confidance.......2005-05-16

    Some of the root Tibetan Mahayana Nyingmapa prayers from Guru Rinpoche / Padmasambhava and other Buddhist's teachers have finally been beautifully translated into English. This work of devotion took over 12 years of the author's time and serious Tibetan practice to manifest. Emaho! Buy with confidence.

    The translator's poetic and musical background capture the song-like nature of these liberating verses to now bring these rare treasures to a serious Tibetan student/practice. These verses will be highly valued by those still suffering committed brothers and sisters in need of pith instructions in English from the "second Buddha."

    Now no longer completely concealed and secret, may all beings find peace, enlightenment and happiness in this lifetime with this highly recommended work of faith and prayers.

    Future editions may be enhanced by provision of the Tibetan texts and a glossary of some of the more technical Tibetan terms?

                5 out of 5 stars Encouraging Quotes for Everyday.......2001-08-01

                Debbie Mumm has gathered quotations from everywhere and written a few herself to fill this little book with lots of good advice wrapped in affirming blessings. Her illustrations are muted country in tones of gold and blue accented by old barn red and a touch of green. This little book is an ideal gift to carry along in your suitcase to leave behind for those wonderful houseguest-hosts on your summer holidays, or to give as a tiny remembrance at parties whose invitations say to bring nothing but a smile.

                Perhaps my favorite quotation is the one by Leo Tolstoy: "The means to gain happiness is to throw out from oneself, like a spider, in all directons an adhesive web of love, and to catch in it all that comes."

                          Despite the prevalence of color photography, professional-quality black-and-white pictures have a richness of tone and shading all their own. This thoroughly revised and updated classic guide covers the varieties and uses of Kodak black-and-white films to ensure that you get the best possible results. It includes information on film characteristics, selection, and processing. Full data sheets on each available Kodak film provide technical information, including exposure and development specifications. Know the characteristics of a high-quality negative, the basics of tone reproduction, and how to judge negative quality visually. Spectral sensitivity, reciprocity characteristics, film speeds, and exposure latitude all receive coverage. Sort and handle your film properly, and after you've finished shooting, think about stop baths, fixing, push processing, reversal processing, and processing for image stability. Throughout, examples of black-and-white photos demonstrate different effects, such as high contrast, and the results of different exposures, film types, and developing. Includes a film guide for matching the right film with the right job. Silver Pixel 88 pages, 116 b/w illus., 8 1/2 x 11.

                                5 out of 5 stars Excellent combination of economics and environmentalism!.......1999-03-01

                                Jim Eggert weaves a simple yet compelling story of why we should highly value our environment in determining the economic well-being of our society. He highlights how the GDP (gross domestic product) does not account for the value of the wonderful song of the meadowlark when a change in farm crop harvesting (which does positively increase our GDP) wipes out the meadowlarks brooding habitat. This example, along with many other delightful essays, make this book a fantastic read.

                                    Upton examines the U.S. policy process toward the five multilateral development banks-the World Bank Group, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development-as a case study in how the United States manages its participation in multilateral institutions. The management of the U.S. role in these institutions is significant primarily because these institutions play an increasingly important role in the U.S. relationship with the developing world and because, for the most part, they are mature institutions being called upon to adapt their roles and operating styles to new financial and political realities. After examining the evolving role of the MDBs from the U.S. perspective, Upon describes the U.S. policy process toward the banks and assesses its strengths and weaknesses. She then sets out recommendations for improving the process and looks at the broader, more general lessons for U.S. policy formulation on multilateral institutions. An important assessment for scholars, researchers, and policy makers involved with international relations and economic policy.

                                      3 out of 5 stars OK for a reference........2001-09-10

                                      This is an OK book for reference. However the book is lacking in several areas. Material is not new -- but I really didn't expect it to be. However, there are some tips one may find helpful. If you have money to spend -- buy it -- if not there are plenty of other books that help with meeting management that are a better buy.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Great information - saved me thousands.......2003-11-10

                                      I recently opened a business in the St Paul area and bought this book as it is the only one that I could find with information specific to this area.What impressed me is that Dicks is himself a successful business person so his information goes beyond the typical attorney who graduated with high grades but has no real world experience as an entrepneneur.Sadly, many of the books sold are also by "paper authorities" with no real world experience.I highly recommend "Form Your Own Corporation and Launch a Business In Minnesota" and also recommend the "Small Business Legal Kit" which comes with a convenient disk. I now have all the forms at my disposal..from eployee forms, to real estate forms, leases, contracts, shareholder meetings forms, hw to sell stock forms, independent contractor etc in any easy fill in the blanks format.Great informationa dn it did save me thousands.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A good nuts to bolts book for business people in Minnesota.......2003-11-09

                                      J.W. Dicks is perhaps one of the most under-rated authors out there. How to Incorporate and Start a Business in Minnesota covers every essestial topic you need to know to start your business right. And best of all, it offers information specific to Minnesota. Most books are general.

                                      I found the section on different corporations; S-Corporations, LLC's and LLP's really interesting. Dick's discusses the pro's and cons of each one and shows you which one is best for you.

                                      Dick's also goes into detail about preparing contracts and leases. Dealing with the law and raising capital.

                                      All in all. "How to Incorporate and Start a Business in Minnesota" is a MUST READ for any Minnesota business person.

                                      3 out of 5 stars A good intro but not specific enough........2002-04-24

                                      If you're looking for an introduction to incorporation (or starting any new business for that matter), this book covers a lot of topics at a high level. A decent book if you're contemplating incorporation and trying to decide if it makes sense for you.

                                      If you've done some research, you know you want to incorporate, and you want detailed information on how to proceed, this is not the book for you! It gave me just enough information to raise plenty of questions for which I still don't have the answers.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A wonderful primer on starting a business with contact information for locating startup funds if necessary........2006-09-06

                                      This is a valuable book (resource) for budding entrepreneurs. It seems to try to cover all the bases for starting a small business, but it can't do them all well in the space available between its covers. The book is only 288 pages long. If you are in the planning stages of starting a small business, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. Read it, study it, and outline it. There are helpful checklists to help you grasp the subjects. You will come up with a plethora of keywords and terms that you will want to google to find Web pages giving more detailed (and maybe more current) information.

                                      I am a SCORE counselor (Senior Corps of Retired Executives) who typically does face-to-face counseling sessions three nights a month. It would really be neat if my clients would read this book BEFORE they came to their session with me because they would pretty much be "educated customers" ready to ask educated questions. Our sessions would be so much more beneficial.

                                      My favorite chapters were:

                                      1. Initial business concerns
                                      2. Your business' structure
                                      3. Business start-up details
                                      5. Sources of business assistance (SCORE is mentioned here)
                                      7. Your smart business plan (and a good sample plan is included)
                                      8. Obtaining the financing you need

                                      The book is weak when it comes to how the Internet can be used in corresponding, hiring, and marketing. But this is just one example of how googling keywords and concepts found in the book will make the book more complete. Don't treat the book as authoritative on the law. It isn't. Nor was it ever intended to be. It is light on tax information as it relates to small business.

                                      I was particularly impressed with the material presented in Chapter 2: Choice of Legal Entity. That subject is sorely ignored in most small business books, and it is critically important. It is a subject I regularly must spend a great deal of time discussing at my SCORE sessions. This book does a pretty good job on the topic.

                                      Chapters 4 and 9 through 12 are easy to find fault with. The topic of each could fill a book. But having these topics covered definitely will help a budding entrepreneur know some of the issues they raise.

                                      I would have liked the book more if Chapter 6 (marketing) had been less superficial. When I read it I got the impression that the author was more a public relations expert than a marketing expert. I generally categorize public relations as a subset of marketing. Marketing includes advertising, public relations, and a whole host of other promotion techniques. I did not get this message when I read the book. I also would have liked the book better if the Internet, email, and Web sites had been discussed more. But there are many books on those subjects. Therefore, I can't complain too much about the limited discussion of computers.

                                      When you read this book it may feel a little like it was produced on an assembly line. Maybe it was? There are 50 versions of this book sold; the only state I haven't found a copy for is Montana. Content is king, and this book has it. 5 stars!
