Customer Reviews:

Unbearably Boring.......2006-11-08

I respect Christine Jerome for taking the time to write about her journey and comparing it to Nessmuk's, but her style of writing is the most boring in the whole world. It takes tremendous effort to concentrate for more than half a page. Books such as these should be written in an engaging manner that makes it interesting to read, and should not be so boring that it makes canoeing seem bad. I am a serious canoeist in Canton, NY (Rushton's home) and I am insulted by how boring this book is.

A Passage..........2006-11-05

I came to know the work of Christine Jerome as a gift from her late husband John. For years John Jerome has been one of my favorite authors. While not, unfortunately, widely read; he remained true to his own voice. In many of his books he mentions his wife Chris, and with John gone I felt compelled to get to know Chris better, through her work. I am so glad I did. This is a fine, wonderful book. I hope to see more from Christine Jerome. Perhaps a biography of John.

unique, facinating canoe trip.......2000-05-20

I loved this book on several levels. For one, it was short and simple and every word was right. For another, I have read many paddle trip narratives such as Running the Amazon by Joe Kane and Water and Sky by Alan Kesselheim. They also talk about the adventure and the surrounding history. But this is in a class by itself, a gentle canoe trip, if you will, taking on the amenities and lack of them in the nation's biggest park east of the Mississippi. I have only been to the Adirondacks a few times and been impressed by their beauty. But when I go back, and I hope I do, I will know so much more.

An enticing piece of American history........1999-02-11

Christine Jerome not only covers the trips of G. W. Sears through the Adirandack but she covers the rich history of the region in detail. An excellent book for more than the canoe enthusiast.

Product Description

Many dream of becoming pro wrestling headliners, but few understand the hard work and dedication needed to reach those heights. Almost all top stars have trained in schools and camps with legendary wrestlers to learn how to execute key moves, put together a match, sell yourself and your opponent to the crowd, and keep fit through physical training and healthy diet. The Professional Wrestlers' Instructional and Workout Guide brings readers more than 100 years of collective knowledge and experience from three elite names in the professional wrestling industry, including two former National Wrestling Aliiance World Heavyweight Champions. Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, and Les Thatcher share their wealth of knowledge and experience as they help the novice wrestler prepare for the long journey into pro wrestling. After reading this book, the aspiring wrestler should have the knowledge of how maneuvers are executed effectively and safely, the physical conditioning needed to perform them, and the thought process involved in piecing together an actual match. The novice should learn the "psychology" of pro wrestling both in and out of the ring as well as how to find employment on the independent circuit and maybe eventually realize their dream of wrestling on the national stage in the WWE.

Great for the pro-wrestling trainee........2007-01-05

This book is great. It helps me get better at things that may be a bit complicated at the time. Usually after wrestling class, I'll go home and study from the book whatever we went-over in school.

Your First Step Towards Becoming a Pro Wrestler!.......2006-07-10

Even though I am just a fan of professional wrestling, and have no experience in the business what-so-ever, I still often get asked about how to break into the business. Usually I comeback with, "how the hell should I know?" or "when you find out, tell me please!" From now on whenever somebody asks me that question, my response will be "Buy the Professional Wrestlers' Workout & Instructional Guide!"

A legendary wrestler once said, "to be the man, you got to beat the man!" Well you have to do a lot of hard work before you even get anywhere near the "man". You need to be trained by the man. Well three of these MEN -- Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat & Les Thatcher -- got together and formed the Elite Pro Wrestling Training and began running seminars for trainees. They also decided to write their own textbook, and called it "The Professional Wrestlers' Workout & Instructional Guide" complete with illustrations of Nigel McGuiness & Matt Stryker demonstrating basic wrestling moves.

Not only do the trainers run you through the ins and outs of the current wrestling world, they openly discuss wrestling's top-secret history and compare how things have changed between then and now. The trainers will admit that it was a lot different from the time they broke into the business, but no less tougher for today's wrestlers. Today's trainees have different challenges and obstacles. There is also a detailed run-down on the challenges of developing the right image, including modifying your body type through a tough workout regime and strict diet - honest tips that I have personally never seen in a wrestling book. The absolute best parts of this book are the pictorial demonstrations of about 50 of the most basic moves along with descriptions on how to properly perform the holds. Everything from taking a bump the right way to executing a simple hip toss or body slam; all the way up to more advanced moves such as the figure four leg-lock and atomic drop. That only scratches the surface of things you will learn by reading this book cover to cover.

It is my humble opinion that if you read this book, respect its philosophies, and also have the proper passion and desire for wrestling, there is no doubt in my mind that you will succeed. You may not make it to the WWE but you will find great triumph on the independent circuit.

Rating: 10/10 Highly Recommended to any man or woman who has ever thought about stepping into a wrestling ring. This is a crash course in professional wrestling's basic training procedures. This book should be mandatory reading for anybody who wants to be a wrestler.

The Professional Wrestlers Instructional and workout guide.......2006-05-04

This book is a must have for anyone wanting to learn the basics on Pro Wrestling. I am using it as a reference for my training while I am in school.

Excellent look on the inside of the business!.......2006-03-10

For anyone looking for a solid book that not only describes the ins and outs of the business, but also looking for what/how much/where, this book is for you. It goes into detail about how to train your body specifically for Pro Wrestling.

I've bought other products before that have talked generally about tips in weightlifting and cardio to do, but never had specifics. This book will give you specific exercises to do, how much to do, and the sets/reps involved. This book also covers reputable schools and gives multiple ways to contact them. For nutrition, it covers what your body needs to cut fat and gain muscle. This book also illistrates mostly all the exercises. About half of this book also illustrates moves to do in the ring and gives great detail on how to do the move.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this book for anyone who's looking to break into the business and start school.

A lifesaver.......2007-10-16

We checked this book out from the library and it has been one of our best resources so far. Gave us great ideas for wording our questions properly to get the real scoop and also a few ideas for some tricks of our own so as not to be swindled by the Bridal (Markup) Industry. Actually read the 7th edition, which needed one more proofread before publishing, but as whole it is a great beginner's guide presented with humor and realism. Another plus is that while it broke down some processes into more manageable chunks for those unfamiliar with certain aspects of a wedding, it didn't feel condescending at all. Definitely worth your time.

Thank Goodness for this Book!.......2007-10-15

I am so thankful I ordered this book. It is already full of posty notes and hi-lited areas by me!! It not only is full of fantastic ideas on budgeting, but also each chapter has 'questions to ask the vendors', 'pitfalls to avoid' and the "lingo" that is used by the vendors at each step all of which is just plain helpful. While the book is not meant to be a "planner" - it still gets part of that objective across in the way they lay it all out for you. For brides on budgets or those planning smaller ceremonies and receptions without the big bang on the pocketbook, this book is a must have!

Bargain Book Really Works.......2007-10-13

I gave this book to my son and daughter-in-law before their wedding. They told me it helped them save on many occasions. For example, my daughter-in-law learned from the book how to "listen between the lines" at bridal stores. As a consequence after finding a designer dress at a bridal store, she knew she wasn't getting correct information, so she found a store online and purchased the dress for less than half the cost that the store was charging, then had a local seamstress make the alterations.

it's okay.......2007-10-09

I guess not so much what I expected. It has good advise but it keps saying the same thing over and over. So don't let the size fool you. Good info just stated too many times. Also I really wish there were some color in it.However it gives me a good head start on planing.

Don't plan your wedding without this book.......2007-10-05

This is the single most helpful piece of literature about wedding planning I've read. I'm currently planning my own wedding and frankly don't know where I'd be if my cousin hadn't sent me a copy of this gem. Particularly the chapter on wedding gowns has been awesome... I am armed to make my wedding purchases without being swindled, as the entire wedding industry seems committed to taking every last cent!!! This book helps you keep it all in perspective. I couldn't recommend it more enthusiastically!

Book Description

In Who They Were, Dr. Robert C. Shaler, the man who directed the largest and most groundbreaking forensic DNA investigation in U.S. history, tells with poignant clarity and refreshing honesty the story behind the relentless effort to identify the 2,749 victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

No part of the investigation into the 9/11 attacks has taken as long or been less discussed than the daunting task of identifying the victims -- and the hijackers -- from the remains in the rubble of Ground Zero. In Who They Were, Dr. Robert C. Shaler, former director of the Forensic Biology Department at the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, tells the inside story of the relentless process of DNA identification and depicts the victories and frustrations that he and his team of scientists experienced during more than three years of grueling work.

On September 11, 2001, New York City was unprepared for the mass-fatality event that occurred at the World Trade Center. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner had to completely reconfigure itself to process and identify the nearly 20,000 remains that would eventually come through its doors. Facing an astonishing array of obstacles -- from political infighting and an overwhelming bureaucracy to the nearly insurmountable task of corralling personnel and supplies to handle the work -- Shaler and his team quickly established an unprecedented network of cooperation among public agencies and private labs doing cutting-edge research.

More than a story of innovative science at the frontiers of human knowledge, Who They Were also tells the very human story of how Dr. Shaler and his staff forged important and lasting bonds with the families of those who were lost. He shares the agony of mistakes made in the chaos and unintended misidentifications resulting in the excruciating difficulty of having to retrieve remains from families of the lost.

Finally, Dr. Shaler shares how he and the dedicated team of scientists who gave up more than three years of their lives when the rest of the world had moved on had to face the limits of science in dealing with the appalling level of destruction at Ground Zero and concede that no more victims would be sent home to their families. As of April 2005, when the process was suspended, only 1,592 out of the 2,749 who died on that fateful day had been identified.

With compelling prose and insight, Who They Were reveals the previously untold stories of the scientists determined to bring closure to devastated families in the wake of America's largest disaster.

A little disappointing.......2006-05-03

I guess I was expecting someone a little different. Very slow read.

Thenody for Bagpipes.......2006-04-17

Once again, stalwart Free Press comes through with another incredibly in-depth, in fact slightly overlong, inquiry into recent history. In fact, given the subtance of the investigation, and its current limbo, this isn't really history at all, but reather current events of the most pressing nature. Who was it said that reading such and such a book was like holding lightning in your hands? Reading this book is like reading human blood.

Dr. Shaler gives us a no hold barred accout of what it was like trying to deal with the innumerable scraps of human remains found at the site of the Weorld Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001, in New York, and in the days, weeks and even months afterwards. Scientists and doctors, some who had never spoken to each other before, strangers, and some who were outright enemies, found themselves standing shoulder to shoulder trying to use forensics to fight back, fight against prejudice, fight against violence and terror and fight against the cloud of uncertainty by trying to match easch scrap, be it of brain or liver, with an actual human being believed to have died in the attacks.

He even describes the chill with which his team came to understand that, even among the morass of human material, some of these body parts were probably those of the hijackers as well.

It's not all high science either. Dr. Shaler has the vocabulary of an average New Yorker, and he is given to a descriptive obscenity when the drama of his story calls for it. '"Don't tell me we f--ked up the identification!" I said' is a typical comeback from him. But in general, the science is paramount and it helps us understand the complexity of the work involved. By and by the forensics scientists found themselves invited to the funerals of the vitims they had matched, through DNA or otherwise. The families were grateful. There must be a primitive urge to want to preserve the scraps of your own loved one's bodies, even miniscule ones, for there were funerals for mere fingers. Reminds me of the the way Catholic churches in my youth were erected around mere "relics" embedded in the tabernacles. Dr. Shaler's writing is simple and moving on such occasions, as though Hemingway had willed his genes to a top scientist and bureaucrat:

"We stood around the grave site and waited. Soon, the bagpipers began playing and there was a short ceremony. The sun was shining and it was warm. I felt like I belonged."

Interesting so far.......2006-03-15

I just started reading, but so far I'm enjoying this very easy read.

Great book.......2005-12-31

This book is a factual first hand account of Dr. Shaler's experience. The book contains detailed descriptions of the complete identification process from 911. I did enjoy learning about forensics. It also made me very proud to learn how the people in government handled this situation.
The book includes the feelings and emotions from the long term commitment to assist with the critical identification process.

The book was stunning and held me fast, and on the edge of my seat. It was an amazing story. I especially liked it when Rick got turned into the ape man. There was one thing that confused me: when the futuristic mynah bird escaped, and just flew away-- and that was the end of him. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to all science fiction-freaks. It spun an intricate tale around me, and I was captivated completely. I just love the Tom Swift series, and think that Victor Appleton is a WONDERFUL author. The book was one to always be remembered
