Tras La Sonrisa Del Delfion

Book Description

"The Flower," as Guy Lafleur was affectionately known to fans, registered six consecutive 50-goal seasons in the 1970s,and played on five Stanley Cup winners. But Lafleur was more than an athlete. His charisma and quirky individualism gave "No. 10" a cachet that extended far beyond the Forum's corridors. He was a daring style icon whose exploits were as chronicled as those of any pop celebrity. Beautifully designed and packed with vintage photos and classic sports journalism, this is a treasure of hockey nostalgia.

A disappointing sequel.......2000-05-30

Froug's follows up his first book with a average sequel. He interviews quite a few 'new' screenwriters including Dan O' Bannon (Alien), Daniel Pyne(White Sands), Greg Widen(Highlander) and the writing duo of Jack Epps and Jim Cash (the original writers of Top Gun). These writers are succesful, talented but they don't really have that much to say about screenwriting.

One of the appeal of the first book was to read interviews with writers who had already written classics such as 'The Apartment' and 'The Great Escape'. To hear what they thought about the process of screenwriting. With this book, it mostly concentrates on the interviewees careers. A real mixed bag but still well worth exploring.

Product Description

For more than a decade, Karen Chase taught poetry writing to severely incapacitated patients at a large psychiatric hospital outside of New York City. During that time, she began working with Ben, a handsome, formerly popular and athletic young man who had given up speaking and had withdrawn from social interaction. Meeting on the locked ward every week for two years, Chase and Ben passed a pad of paper back and forth, taking turns writing one line of poetry each, ultimately producing 180 poems that responded to, diverged from, and built on each other s words. Land of Stone is Chase s account of writing with Ben, an experience that was deeply transformative for both poet and patient.

Review: How Do You Know He's Real?.......2007-06-14

In the book, How Do You Know He's Real, you'll get an inside look into the spiritual lives of 34 celebrities. Hagberg has compiled testimonies ranging from Kirk Cameron to Rudy Sarzo (former bass player for Ozzy Osbourne). Each story is remarkably different and it's amazing to read how God has worked in the lives of each of these well-known people.

Celebrities Share Their Christian Faith.......2007-05-31

The author has collected very readable stories telling how celebrities have become Christians, and they share their low points and their joys here. This is a welcome peek into the lives of well known people who typically are more secretive.
Ricky Skaggs, Kirk Cameron, Gloria Gaynor, Bethel Johnson (34 people in all) tell about their struggles and their early days as new Christians.
Billy Ray Cyrus tells of singing in his grandpa's Pentecostal church when he was 4, and includes the touching lyrics to the song he wrote "The other side."
Jackie (Jacklyn) Zeman, star of General Hospital, advises that when you are at a crossroads "cry out to God and ask for His guidance."
Al Kasha's story resonated with me; this Academy Award winning songwriter overcame agoraphobia, and talks about how Hollywood is a tough place for a Jew who came to Christ, and how he started a Hollywood Bible study group.
There are stories here for anyone to enjoy and find spirit lifting.

Celebrities talk about God in their life.......2007-04-27

(Hagberg has written a companion book with the same title, subtitled God Unplugged)

How Do You Know He's Real? is a collection of celebrity essays about God acting in their lives. The contributors include athletes, musicians, and actors. Their stories often follow a familiar pattern of fame leading to drugs and alcohol before hitting bottom and being turned around by an encounter with God. That's not to say the accounts are all stock and cliched, but rather that God meets each person in their need--and for celebrities that need will be similar. And many of the tales include growing up in stable Christian homes, but still needing to make personal decisions about God and Christ and how that decision impacted their careers.

The stories are collected alphabetically but Hagberg has provided a topic finder so a reader battling discouragement or frustration can find offerings from Billy Ray Cyrus, Nancy Stafford, Zorro, Gary Burghoff or John Schneider.

Each essay begins with a picture and short biography of the contributor, listing their accomplishments. Following the selection is God's Road Map, a few sentences about the issues raised by the author, with Bible verses for teaching and encouragement.

The essays themselves are as varied as the contributors. Some of them read as if they were written to be given as speeches. Several sound like the writer could be sitting at your kitchen table, chatting over the coffee pot. All of them are honest and share from their heart how God has acted in their life and how they know He's real.

Reading the accounts of God acting in both miraculous and mundane ways reminds us that no matter what a person does for a living, each of us are created beings who need a loving Savior and merciful God.

Armchair Interviews says: Up close and personal stories from celebrities.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!! Terrific Read!.......2006-05-18

I received this book as a gift and once I started, I couldn't put it down. Ms Hagberg has captured the beliefs of these well known and respected celebrities, sports figures, and musicians. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in the series and can't wait to give copies of this one to all my friends. Order 2!

The book of a lifetime!.......2006-04-18

This is a book that you will no doubt want to share with everyone you know! (I certainly am!) It was so hard to put the book down - but worth it - just to extend the time and joy of reading it! GREAT content! GREAT author! I can't wait to read the next books in the series!

Product Description

Born Joan Boniface Winnifrith on January 2, 1913, Anna Lee is best known for her portrayal of General Hospital's Lila Quartermaine, a character who she brought to life for over two decades. From her early years in England to her final days in Hollywood, she recounts details of her extraordinary life in her memoir. Expressed in her energetic style, Anna Lee tells of her childhood as the daughter of an English clergyman and her early determination to become an actress. She writes of her teenage struggles to realize her dream, two failed marriages, and the difficulties she faced raising a family while maintaining her career. Finally, we see the picture of a mature Anna Lee--a successful actress playing a role she loved while enjoying an ideal marriage to writer Robert Nathan. Personal remembrances from her family and General Hospital co-stars round out this touching, entertaining self-portrait of the actress' life. A complete filmography and list of television appearances is also included.

Such a rich read -- a visit to the past and around the world........2007-09-21

I knew that I would enjoy this book because I'm a huge General Hospital fan, and I love memoirs written by women in Hollywood. The book didn't disappoint on either count. What I didn't plan on, however, was feeling as if I'd traveled the globe and been touched by the humanity of war. Anna Lee's life was indeed full and I didn't know the half of it until I curled up on my porch swing and devoured this lovingly written book by Barbara Roisman Cooper. You can find my interview with the author on www.soaps.com/generalhospital/news, in fact, if you'd like to learn her insights into the work process with the lovely Ms. Lee before her passing.
A must read for all soap fans, war buffs and global travellors!

Best cube method there is........2004-07-19

If you want to be able to impress people by being able to finish a cube, buy this book. You'll easily learn how to conquer the cube in less than 5 minutes every time. My average is about three and a half minutes, and i only do it to impress people. If you learn more of the moves, you actually can finish it in 45 seconds, it's not just a sales pitch, it's possible. This book will teach you how to complete a cube, however, it won't tell you the reasoning. Basically it's a system of moves that work extremely well. I would suggest this book to anyone, especially advanced cubers. You will be able to do the cube faster this way than almost any other way. The author holds/held the world record at less than 20 seconds.

Excellent Book.......2007-02-26

I used this book in the mid-80's and just got another copy. Back then, I averaged 43 seconds to solve the cube with a best time of 19 seconds. I looked at this book and I am using the "easy" steps rather than the expert steps and I am solving it in under three minutes everytime. It took me about a day to get it down again.

This is a great book and well written.

Book Description

A seminal work - reformulating marketing around creating shareholder value.

For the first time, marketing is integrated with the governing objective of management. A practical, step-by-step guide to developing marketing strategies that generate growth and shareholder value. An essential text for top management and MBAs.

Marketing has not had the impact on management that its importance merits. This is largely due to its unclear objectives and weak intellectual foundations.

Value Based Marketing reformulates marketing, making its goals more relevant and establishing it on a sounder intellectual basis. The governing objective of management in all of today's leading companies is to maximise long-term returns to shareholders. The book redefines marketing's role as contributing to this task of shareholder value creation. It explores how this affects marketing planning and decisions about brands, pricing, communications, distribution and the Internet.

The increasing emphasis placed on the financial technique of shareholder value as a means for measuring a company's performance has provided a major opportunity for marketing managers: the ability to increase greatly their sphere of influence in setting their company's strategic direction like never before. The book provides a clear practical introduction to shareholder value analysis and provides practical tools for translating marketing ideas into the financial framework used by modern boards of directors.

For top management and CFOs, the book explains how marketing generates shareholder value. It shows how top management should evaluate strategies and stimulate more effective and relevant marketing in their companies.
