From the supplier: A Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers "White Paper" on insurance agents' role in the bank insurance business says that agents that act quickly to create joint ventures with banks will profit from the banking industry's foray into insurance. Banks typically lack the expertise to market insurance, which makes insurance agents vital for a successful bank insurance operation.

Dearborn Plows.......2001-08-24

I found this book very informative. It is almost like an encyclopedia of Ford farm implements. Also, it has great pictures and the story and history of Henry Ford, Harry Ferguson, and the Dearborn Farm Implement Company. A must for Ford tractor owners.

Book Description

The Standard Model offers no fundamental explanation for the origin of the fermion mass and mixing parameters, except that they arise from Yukawa couplings, which are free parameters of the Model. The Workshop addresses various theoretical, phenomenological, and experimental issues concerning quark and lepton masses and mixings, which are central to solving the long-standing fermion mass problem. Following the trend of the First Tropical Workshop (AIP CP 444), the focus is again the presentation of the current status of the main accelerator and non-accelerator neutrino mass experiments, such as Super-Kamiokande, and SNO, the future experimental projects, e.g., MINOS, and some of the phenomenology related to them. Also included are reviews of the theoretical and phenomenological ideas related to the tests of the "direct" CP violating effects that are expected to occur in both the K and the B meson systems, including discussions of future experimental projects.

Pushing the Envelope.......2004-11-13

Climbing runs from routine to audacious. Here Steve Roper has gathers together accounts of some of the most audacious climbers and climbs ever. Yosemite in the Golden Age, as recorded by the climbers who made that age what it was.

The photographs show you the place. The accounts show you the people. Read and remember when you were there or read and then visit the Valley.

Climbing has entered a new phase. Technique, training, and better gear have moved ahead. Now those pushing the envelope are doing bold solo climbs at high altitude (Steve House, in Pakistan, among other examples). But this collection will give you a sense of how we got to where we are today and of the people who helped push things forward form the 1940s to the 1970s.

Amazing tales, nicely brought together. Read and enjoy it. And keep on climbing.

Sasha Cohen: Fire on Paper.......2006-11-24

Sasha Cohen: Fire on Ice was a incredibly detailed story os Sasha's life. My hero is Sasha and I love to skate, so it allowed me to gain more knowledge. Sasha Cohen included beautiful pictures which really helped me to imagine what was going on more visually. The ending was very touching with how she see's skating. I enjoyed reading this story very much and just finished my third time reading it. Now I can't stop spitting out facts to my dad.

It's ok.............2006-11-12

It's ok, but it didn't tell much information, and it doesn't tell much insight, basically what she won and lost.......

GREAT READING AND PICTURES.......2006-08-31

I enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to read and interesting.

Entertaining look at the sport as well as an honest bio.......2006-06-06

Fans of Ms. Cohen's career will not be disappointed at her frank autobiography and a career still very much in progress. A favorite for the gold medal in Torino, Sasha spoke openly about the pressures and gained my respect when she maintained her dignity despite cutting observances and outright rudeness from the international press. Despite two falls in her long program and her own inner belief that all chance of any medal at all was gone, she got up off the ice and gave the program her all. Her perseverance rewarded her with a silver medal and inspired a generation of skaters to never give up. Great book.

Don't waste your time........2006-05-13

From beginning to end, I found this book to be dreadful, and an utter waste of my time. Champion? Of what? She is the queen of making excuses, and really, isn't it too soon for an autobiography? Do yourself a favor, skip over this book.

Book Description

This first novel in the Noble Warriors sequence begins when sixteen-year-old Seeker's older brother is publicly humiliated and--with no explanation--exiled from the Nomana, a revered order of warrior monks. Seeker refuses to believe that his beloved older brother is capable of committing a betryal that would warrant such severe consequences, so he sets off alone on a journey to rescue his brother and find out at last what really happened.

Along the way he meets two other young people who are on quests of their own, and in a shocking turn of events, the three are soon caught up in a harrowing and bloody race to save the Nomana--and themselves--from destruction.

An epic coming-of-age story about courage, friendship, desire, and faith, Seeker marks the beginning of a riveting new series.

Customer Reviews:

Looking For Life After Harry Potter?.......2007-09-07

Are you looking for a decent story line after the end of Harry Potter? If so I would recommend this book. I am not saying that this book is as good as Harry Potter, but I am saying that it is a good book for the Harry Potter audience. This book has an interesting beginning, a solid middle, and an end that not only gives you a sense of closure for that particular book, but also leaves you wanting to read the next one in the series. The climax of the book in particular is very captivating. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to read simply to be entertained by the story line. I also wouldn't be very surprised if this book is turned into a movie in the next several years.

Very disappointing.......2007-07-23

I loved the Wind on Fire trilogy by William Nicholson. In fact, I consider them to actually be some of my favorite books. But after reading Seeker, I wasn't impressed. I'm not bashing Nicholson, but these books could have been better. I was sitting there reading a book called Seeker, which the main character was indeed Seeker, but I felt like I didn't know him at all. I feel like his characteristics and thoughts weren't expressed as much as Morning Star's or the Wildman's. Honestly, the book could have been about those two alone and I would have like it better. I guess that I was just expecting more than what I read. I am considering getting the second one just to see if it turns better, but otherwise, I just wasn't impressed at all. I gave it 2 stars because I like William Nicholson and I'm not trying to be mean. My advice is that everyone who is a fan of Nicholson and the Wind on Fire trilogy should read these books and see what they get from it themselves. You have your own opinion.

A story of strength and power.......2007-07-18

In this Young Adult fantasy, Seeker dreams of becoming a Nomana, a Noble Warrior. Seeker knows that this is his destiny. Now he is sixteen, old enough to go before the Nom and offer himself, and hope that they accept him.

Morning Star is the daughter of a sheepherder. Now, on her sixteenth birthday, Morning Star intends to leave the hills she's always known, and join her mother as a Nomana. She will journey to Anacrea to find her destiny.

Wildman has never known his family, or even friendship, or loyalty, or honor. All he's ever known is survival at any cost. When Wildman encounters a Nomana, he knows he's glimpsed a power far stronger than his own, and a peace he never imagined. Wildman wants these things, and what Wildman wants, Wildman always gets. He too will offer his services to the Nom, though he doesn't really think of it in those exact terms.

A stranger, more disjointed group could hardly be imagined. But through drastically unexpected circumstances, a group they become. As it turns out, they can all learn an awful lot from each other. Maybe they can even save Anacrea and the Nomana from the threat of their enemies--if they can survive their journey.

A wonderfully, beautifully, frighteningly well-imagined world, full of strong and interesting characters. No one is one sided; Morning Star is strong but capable of vulnerability, Seeker is determined but still scared sometimes, and Wildman is primal but lovable.

This is a story of strength and power. A story about friendship and loyalty and family. A story about faith and destiny. It's a story about life, and a story about people. It may not take place anywhere you could recognize, but all of the characters contain bits and pieces you see in other people and in yourself. The bad and the good. The best part is, it doesn't end here, this is only book one!

Armchair Interviews says: Start with Seeker, then read Jango. You'll be glad you did.

Big Disappointment after the Wind on Fire trilogy..........2007-05-04

After I finished the Wind on Fire trilogy, I couldn't wait for a new release from William Nicholson. Seeker really disappointed me because I consider The Wind Singer, Slaves of the Master and Firesong some of my favorite books. I only got to page 126 in Seeker before I just abandoned it. I couldn't even finish. I loved Kestrel and Bowman and Mumpo and Sisi and Pinto! Morning Star, Seeker and Wildman are all kind of weird and awkward and not as origanal. Espescially Seeker! He's just boring! I recommend you read The Wind on Fire Trilogy, it will not dissapoint.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too.......2007-02-11

Seeker (full name Seeker after Truth) has dreamed, his whole life, of becoming a Nomana, a Noble Warrior. A protector of the All and Only, the god who made all things. The desire to be one has only grown stronger since his brother, Blaze of Justice, became a Noble Warrior. Seeker knows that this is his destiny, never mind that his father expects him to become Teacher. Now he is sixteen, old enough to go before the Nom and offer himself, and hope that they accept him.

Morning Star is the daughter of a sheep herder. Years ago her mother left them to become a Noble Warrior. Now, on her sixteenth birthday, Morning Star intends to leave the hills she's always known, and join her mother in service to the All and Only. Her only worry is leaving her father; she is his world. She's not too worried about being denied by the Nomana; after all her mother is a Noble Warrior. If that's not enough, there are the colors. The colors surround all people, and change a little based on someone's mood and intentions, but everyone has colors around them. Morning Star can see them, and has learned to read them. She will journey to Anacrea to find her destiny.

Wildman has never known his family. He's never even really known friendship, or loyalty, or honor. He certainly doesn't know about the All and Only. All he's ever known is survival at any cost. In the midst of an attempted robbery, Wildman encounters a Nomana, though he doesn't know what that is. What he knows is that he's glimpsed a power far stronger than his own, and a peace he never imagined. Wildman wants these things, and what Wildman wants, Wildman always gets. He too will offer his services to the Nom, though he doesn't really think of it in those exact terms.

A stranger, more disjointed group could hardly be imagined. But through drastically unexpected circumstances, a group they become. As it turns out, they can all learn an awful lot from each other. Maybe they can even help each other. Maybe they can even save Anacrea and the Nomana from the threat of their enemies. If they can survive their journey, they may even find their destinies.

A wonderfully, beautifully, frighteningly well-imagined world, full of strong and interesting characters. No one is one sided; Morning Star is strong but capable of vulnerability, Seeker is determined but still scared sometimes, and Wildman is primal but lovable. Actually, I think Wildman is my favorite character.

This is so many different stories all in one great book. It's a story of strength and power. It's a story about friendship and loyalty and family. It's a story about faith and destiny. It's a story about life, and a story about people. It may not take place anywhere you could recognize, but all of the characters contain bits and pieces you see in other people and in yourself. The bad and the good. The best part is, it doesn't end here. This is only book one. I don't know how many there will be, but I'm very much looking forward to all of them.
