Book Description
Written toward the turn of the nineteenth century by Frances Willard, the founder of the WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union) and well-known suffragette, A Wheel Within a Wheel offers lively insight into the mind of an independent woman who also reflected the temper of her times. Brave enough to take up bicycle riding when she was fifty-three years old, Willard reported that her bicycling costume "consisted of a skirt and blouse of tweed, with belt, rolling collar, and loose cravat, the skirt three inches from the ground; a round straw hat, and walking-shoes with gaiters. It was a simple, modest suit, to which no person of common sense could take exception."

The Golden Age of the Bicycle.......2006-10-26
In Europe and the United States there was a brief period that roughly spanned the 1890s. During that period, people of all ages began abandoning one troublesome, expensive and polluting form of tranportation, the horse, without adopting the automobile, which was at least as troublesome, expensive and polluting. That was the Golden Age of the Bicycle. If I were given the power to rewrite history, I'd be tempted to delay the invention of the car long enough, perhaps twenty years, to give our cities, our neighborhoods and our societies a chance to establish themselves around the bicycle, before I would allow the automobile to come along.
Unfortunately, I can't do that. But I can recommend books from this golden age to bicycle lovers so they can get a glimpse of what might have been. This book, Wheel Within a Wheel is one. But be sure to check out Around the World on a Bicycle, the story of the first person to circle the world on a bicycle, as well as Across Asia on a Bicycle, which describes the Asian leg of the second circumnavigation of the world by bicycle and the first using the modern 'safety' bike.
Not what you expect........2006-06-30
The language is tedious and trying - old fashioned and trite. And the topic is boring. Other than that, not a great little book but for some interest in women's issues.
A true gem.......2000-02-21
Frances Willard was a hardy, clear-spoken New England Temperance/Suffrage activist of the late 19th century. Until age 16, she had free run of the world, but then was bound by the corsets and hoops and restrictions of womanhood. That is, until she turned 53 and received the gift of "a wheel" -- a safety bicycle -- from a friend in the movement. Her reflections on riding the bicycle are amusing and profound. It was very much a community effort for her; she describes one lesson in which four friends stand at the corners (including one at each side of the handlebars, counterbalancing them) and walk her down the drive. BUT this book is ultimately more about life than it is about cycling. It is like a journal of all the insights sparked by this return to the unfettered freedom of Willard's youth. And for that, it is precious and challenging. The language reminded me of Mark Twain's dry observations on his own habits and predilections, and Willard is certainly his equal in exercising her powers of observation and analysis. Ultimately she reflects a universal experience: the experience of flight on two wheels that attracts so many of us to the sport and discipline of the bicycle.
Book Description
New edition: revised and with new introduction by the author! Winner of the inaugural Prometheus Award for Libertarian fiction in 1979.
Canny old Pete Paxton thinks there's a monstrous conspiracy brewing that threatens the LaNague Charter and the freedoms it guarantees for Federation planets. The only way to head it off is to enlist the aid of Josephine "Jo" Finch, the current CEO of Interstellar Business Advisors, a firm Pete co-founded with Jo's grandfather more than half-a-century before. Jo mistrusts Pete and suspects he may beresponsible for the bizarre death of her father that left her orphaned at age ten. But she is soon convinced that the old man's fears are more than justified.
Jo and Pete are soon matching wits with one of the shrewdest, most devious politicos in the Federation, threatened by a ruthless psi-talent whose victims face a fate far worse than mere death. They must also deal with the Vanek - the gentle, enigmatic inhabitants of the planet Jebinose who, against all logic, claim to have murdered Jo's father.

Kirsten's review.......2001-12-20
The autobiography of Dervla Murphy's first 30 years was given to my mother in 1981. I picked it up from the bookshelf and read it, inheriting it after my mother's death in 1982. Along with "Jules and Jim" by Henri-Pierre Roche, it has endured as one of my most treasured possessions. Dervla's philosophy of life and her witty, accurate observations are infused always with primitive, glowing truth, and beautifully expressed. I sometimes find myself spontaneously recalling certain phrases from the book when the occasion elicits it. I have been inspired by this book for my whole adult life, and I wish I knew her personally. I really respond to her concept of life. If you're a thoughtful, aware reader you'll probably feel the same way.
A truly unusual person!.......2001-12-03
I loved this book. Dervla Murphy had a very unusual childhood, but through it all the burning desire to travel and to write carried her on. She succeded spectacularly in both and her adventures shared with us in books are treasures. This book gives some insight to the circumstances that shaped her life. That she prevailed over such difficult times is a tribute to her spirit. That she found peace and love is a joy.
Compelling reading!.......2000-05-20
I loved this book. I got addicted to Dervla Murphy books a few years ago and find her travels around the world fascinating. She is clearly an unconventional person and this book gives the details of her unconventional childhood. She was an only child with a crippled mother. She left school early to help look after her. As a child she loved reading and made her decision to cycle to India from Ireland at a very young age. In this book she is brutally honest, from her childhood daydreams of the teddy bear tree to her alcoholism as an adult. I felt I understood this amazing women better having read this book and I would recommend it to anybody as a great and emotional read.
Book Description
The Medicine Wheel, and variations thereof, are native to most indigenous cultures world-wide. Based on cycles of time, it is a means of rooting oneself within the Earth and thereby attuning with the harmonies of the universe. An intimate, personal and practical volume.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Overview.......2004-01-21
I found that this book gives an excellent and readable overview of the Medicine Wheel and the construction and use of them. It tends to not give details on historical details of specific ones, but rather generalalities. It is full of good information though.

Book Description
One look at him and it seems like a sculptor created this sort of perfection. Champion bodybuilder Flex Wheeler has biceps of molded steel and a back that is so cut and sculpted that it looks like a mountain range. Fellow athlete and movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger has called him "one of the best bodybuilders of all time" and also insists that "Flex Wheeler is a fantastic champion. He has won the Arnold Classic many times and I've found him to be an extraordinary athlete. He is a winner."
"It's not just about building your body," Flex says. "It's about building the love in your heart for God and your family."
Flex Ability is a story of overcoming odds so awesome that most people would have just given up and called it a day. Flex Wheeler is a champion when it comes to bodybuilding. . . . Kenny Wheeler has proven that he's a champion when it comes to life. In this, his first book, Kenny takes you around the globe and into the winner's circle as he describes his two-decade journey through the tough sport of bodybuilding. He also brings you backstage at competitions, where personalities of 300-pound men clash, and into the private gyms of Los Angeles, where the puddles of sweat tell the story of what it takes to push your body to the max.
While telling the extremely personal story of his private struggles, Kenny shares how the abuse he suffered as a boy taught him how life isn't fair, but sometimes you just have to cope and rise above the ultimate challenges by finding your own inner strength. He shares never-before-told secrets about his current struggles, and how with the right mind-set, anyone can face trouble head-on and come out on the other side as a winner.

Enthralling Story.......2007-10-19
I was absolutely blown away by the challenges this man overcomes throughout his life, and STILL manages to become one of the greatest bodybuilder's ever. He completely stole my heart with his tale. As soon as I got this book I started reading it, and finished in 2 days. It was breath-taking. I have a great respect for Flex Wheeler as both a bodybuilder, and a survivor.
Would the real Wheeler please stand up?.......2006-05-10
I enjoyed reading this book, but as time has passed and I have reflected upon it further, I have become more and more disappointed with it. Flex now writes for Muscular Development, and his pieces in there vary a great deal in the persona he projects. In FlexAbility he portrays himself as the quasi-innocent, long-suffering victim. The suspicious "ninja attack" which supposedly occurred right before an Olympia, thus forcing him to withdraw, is not even mentioned here, though surely it ought to be discussed--if it were real, because that would be a major event in his career; if it were invented, because only by 'fessing up would he really be honest. I think that in this book Wheeler is working really hard to convince the reader that he, Flex, is a good guy. He might be, but methinks this book doth protest too much.
must have for Flex fans.......2005-09-29
A must have for all bodybuilding fans.However it might be boring for someone who is not a fan.
Shameful, inaccurate, from an alleged "Christrian".......2005-05-23
I would give this book 0 stars if I could. Where do I start? First, I love bodybuilding. I read all of the muscle magazines every month, and have followed the "sport" for almost 20 years. Mr. Wheeler, who never misses a chance to remind everyone that he is a Christian, must not be 100% converted yet, because he lies throughout this book and wastes valuable paper with this gutless tome. For those who don't know, Mr. Wheeler has been one of the top ranked bodybuilders for over a decade. He recently had a kidney transplant because of a rare kidney disease that has tragically stricken NBA superstar Alonzo Mourning and Sean Elliot. The fact checkers, or is that liar enablers, that allowed Mr. Wheeler to say that these athletes did not disclose their disease when they retired (Mourning twice) should be fired and never be allowed in the industry again because they both spoke about it when they retired. Wheeler's past steroid use did not cause this problem, allegedly. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Mr. Wheeler regales us, or is that bores us to death, with stories about his numerous sexual conquests, of course while he was in relationships.
Wheeler details his troubling health problems because of his use of diuretics (taken to eliminate all water fromt the body to make someone look leaner). Amazingly, he collapsed at a show with the judges knowledge, and yet this supposed-truth-telling Christian, does not name those who knew about this and chose to ignore and enable this plague on our sport. Instead, Wheeler attempts to have his cake and eat it, too: put out a book to entice the legions of fans of bodybuilding, but because he is now competing again (drug-free???), he refuses to point fingers at a sport that has been ruined by bloated, drugged up freaks weighing 300 lbs. at 5-8-6-0. Wheeler had a unique opportunity to out the sycophants in the bodybuilding media, the pimp empire of Joe Weider, and the psycotic bodybuilders who have ruined this sport.
Wheeler refuses to even name the bodybuilder who famously accused him of having calf implants. This from a guy who claimed to be afraid of noone and brags of beating people senseless, but oh, that is because he was sexually abused, so it's ok, right.
One of his most notable lies is that bodybuilding magazines had annointed him the best bodybuilder...ever. Not one magazine has ever said that about Wheeler, simply because it is not true. That isn't a subjective analysis, it's a fact. He never even won the Mr. Olympia, the most important bodybuilding show. Also, he plays "the media was out to get me card." In fact, just the opposite is true. The press in bodybuilding don't really call anyone out because of their abusive, steroid-rage-induced attitudes; if they did, they would only be writing about the personalities of so many of these guys.
His training section is stupid as well. He was being trained by world class trainers (Charles Glass for one), yet he supposedly did three hours of cardio a day (yes, THREE hours a day). Any person with even the most rudimentary knowledge of bodybuilding knows that this is training suicide!!
His "bling-bling" descriptions would make P Diddy proud. By my count he had 11 cars at one point and 48,000 sq. ft. home.
Another great "Wheelerism": he says there is a dearth of research on his kidney disease because it primarily effects African-Americans. That's great Flex: play the race card, too.
He glosses over his steroid use/abuse, again because he was afraid of offending others in the "community." Pick up any bodybuilding magazine today and the descriptions of the current "stacks" of roids these freaks are taking will blow your mind. Bear in mind, these drugs are ILLEGAL. The reigning Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, was a police officer until two years ago. How do you reconcile ingesting massive amount of illegal drugs while serving as a police officer. Many of the athletes purchase steroids that are prescribed to horses.
What a shame that honorable, decent men such as Lee Haney, Sergio Olivia, and many others don't get a chance to write books. Instead, a bible abusing, philandering, ostentatious, drug addict does, and yet doesn't have the courage to address the many issues ruining the sport.
In light of the tragedy that has befallen juiceball, er, baseball, Mr. Wheeler's irresponsibility is even more apparent.

Book Description
Paul Motwani has selected the finest games of the brightest young stars of the 1990s-including Kramnik, Anand, Adams and Judit Polgar - and annotated them in his own inimitable style. Readers will be both inspired and delighted by the games and notes, which both impart instruction in painless fashion and shed light on the factors that have made these players such world-beaters. Written by a former World Under-17 Champion, this book features brilliant games by the greatest talents of modern chess and highlights instructive points from each game. Paul Motwani is a chess journalist, coach and teacher. He won the World Under-17 Championship in 1978, ahead of Short, Hjartarson and many other famous players. In the same year he became the youngest ever Scottish Champion - a title he has won on four subsequent occasions. He became Scotland's first grandmaster in 1992.
Customer Reviews:
Eccentric, but not a hack.......2004-01-17
Motwani is indeed somewhat eccentric; but a "hack" is generally considered someone who cranks out illegitimate garbage. While Motwani has some bizarre tangents in his books, 95% of the book, which is the pure chess material, is first rate. This boom is a collection of very well annotated games by most of the players who are the best in the world in the early 21st century. The annotations are sharp and insightful, and Motwani has a tremendous enthusiasm for chess, which shines through on each page of his works.
Book Description
How technology is revolutionising service and humanising the face of business In Best Face Forward, Jeffrey F. Rayport and Bernard J. Jaworski argue that as this “front-office automation” revolution unfolds, competitive advantage will increasingly depend on deploying the right mix of interfaces with customers—human, automated, and hybrids of both—to surpass current levels of performance and service. Based on extensive research inside both start-up and established businesses, Best Face Forward proposes guiding principles and a practical auditing tool for determining how humans and machines can best collaborate in mediating critical customer interactions.
Customer Reviews:
An Excellent Treatment of an Important Issue.......2005-04-21
Rayport and Jaworski make a strong case for an integrated approach to managing customer touchpoints. They identify unique capabilities and costs of people and machines, and then go on to lay out a purposive and logical approach for combining people and machines in order to deliver a solid customer experience at a cost that does not break the bank. The book contains a large variety of interesting ideas and examples, and is worth reading just for them. I would have liked the authors to have gone further in terms of pulling together their many ideas and providing more detail regarding the 5 A's approach-how to think about each element in a variety of settings. All things considered, it is a very useful book for anyone interested in engineering customer touchpoints to gain competitive advantage through customer experience.
Valuable insights into the customer experience.......2005-04-09
This book is valuable not only for the examples and points the authors make, but also for the way it triggers ideas about one's own organization. Working through just the first step of the authors' model presented in the last part of the book is eye-opening with respect to your customers' experience of the business. There are great insights here on how to think about what your interface systems are demanding from customers and employees and how you can go about transforming a poorly integrated set of interfaces into a coherent, integrated system that satisfies your various customer segments. I recommend the book to people interested in marketing and also technology people involved in designing customer interfaces.
Very interesting book on importance of interfaces.......2005-03-08
This is a very interesting book. I saw it in the bookstore and the title captured my attention. I am glad I bought it. The examples are fascinating and comprehensive, the amount of facts and information is very good, and the explanation of why it is critical for companies to think about their interface systems is compelling. Best Face Forward not only supports the argument of why creating a differentiated experience for the customers is important, but in the last chapter it provides a good framework to help business managers diagnose and assess the ability of their company's interface system to create competitive advantage. I recommended my friends to read it.
Useful and interesting guide to managing "interfaces".......2005-02-25
When a colleague recommended this book to me, I initially hesitated to read it because I didn't think there could be much new to say on the topic. I was wrong. Not only do the authors give a wealth of really interesting examples, they have some important ideas as well. It's a sign of a thoughtful book when it presents something that you've seen or experienced your whole life and makes you think about it in a different way. Granted, the first few chapters of the book are interesting but not obviously relevant as a how-to guideline (more like reading an article by Malcolm Gladwell, author of Tipping Point, or some other observer of human phenomena). But the later chapters become much more practical. For example, the description of how to identify and then satisfy a customer segment that prefers machine interactions over human interactions was useful for my work. Particularly useful was the section on maintaining brand identity in light of the proliferation of customer technology (or technology "interfaces" as the book would say). In all, I would recommend this (and have recommended it) to anyone who is interested in marketing and customer experience.
A Must-Read for a New Kind of Competitive Advantage.......2005-02-04
I found this book compelling and actionable. The stories - which are drawn from a wide range of examples and not just the usual suspects that seem to appear in every book these days - were on target, covered a variety of industries, and were fun to read. I especially liked the frameworks for taking a look at the business and figuring out what to do next. These frameworks move beyond understanding customers to understanding customer experience - an important new dimension. The authors clearly know both the practical and the academic dimensions of the topic, and the bibliography is helpful in pointing to other places to look for deeper dives into the material. This is one of those rare books you can enjoy and learn from at the same time.
