.The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Joe Vitale

November 09, 2007

This books contains some useful insights.
Still, it is very clear that it is just meant to be a quick way of multiplying the sales channels of what the author has already said in other books; it comes so far as to partially consist of transcriptions of seminaries with much blabla and nothing that is not a repetition of what was already said.

Also not pleasing is the constant self advertising of the author and promotion of his other books, internet sites etc. A bit would still go if made with class and decency, but in my eyes this was not the case here.

All in all, I would not spend the money again for this book and do not consider it a good investment.

.In Cold Blood : A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences (Penguin Modern Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Truman Capote

February 03, 2000
I read this book over several weeks yet every time I picked it up I was able to get straight back into the story. I think this is slightly due to the style of writing giving out accurate information in a chronological order similar to a long running news story.

Capote's writing is always brilliant whatever he writes about. There is no word wasted here, no over the top descriptions just a very gripping true story told from every angle. He doesnt judge anyone involved but gives enough detail to make you sympathise 'almost' with the killers.

Before reading this book the only story I knew of Kansas was the Wizard of OZ which also evokes the huge plains where farming is the main source of income, windy and lonesome with ... Read More:

.Getting the Buggers to Behave (Getting the Buggers)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Sue Cowley

March 31, 2006
The title of this book may lead you to believe the author to be of a strict and dominating character in the class room. This perception is wrong. Instead you can find a calm 'firm but fun' attitude to behavoirable management and teaching in general. I would definately guess Ms Cowley to be an english teacher and describes lesson plans for conceptual subjects; the arts.

The book explains throughly ideas and tips for getting a student's attention and respect though uses a possibly naieve view of the average student. As a young teacher I remember being a student myself recently and I think that some of these methods wouldn't work on badly behaved students because they rely too much on the analysis of self the author explains will calm them down ...

.Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses (Practice Makes Perfect Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Dorothy Richmond

January 01, 2000
This book on Spanish verb tenses is the best I've ever seen. In fact, it is probably the only book of its kind. I haven't seen any other books like this one, probably because it would be a waste of time for someone else to write a book like this.

The book first explains the present tense in great detail. It explains how the present tense is used in every possibleway. Although, it doesn't explain that the present tense is often used to convey a future action more often than the actual future is.

Richmond's explanation of the past tenses is also very good, but I didn't like how the imperfect and the preterit were explained. What I did like was how the author explains that the irregular preterit conjugations have predictable patterns. ... Read More:

.The Natural Art of Seduction: Secrets of Success With Women
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Richard La Ruina

November 08, 2007
I can't recommend this book enough. I loved 'The Game' by Neil Strauss, but being British, I didn't really feel comfortable spieling off lines and routines and I'm not sure how well they would have worked over here in the UK. So it was great to find out that there was someone like Richard La Ruina over here who was teaching people how to be good with women in a natural way, rather than a pick up artist way.

I found this book to be really interesting, thoughtfully written, funny in places, and poignant in others. It details a totally honest and almost unbelievable account of how someone can transform themselves from being a social misfit into a modern day Casanova.

What I really liked about his book was that it focuses on self improvement ... Read More:

.Flat Earth News: An Award-winning Reporter Exposes Falsehood, Distortion and Propaganda in the Global Media
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Nick Davies

February 07, 2008
I'd always had a feeling that I was being misled by the mainstream media, but never really knew how it came about. This book went a long way to answering that question, and I now understand how the media is manipulated by a variety of sources so that what gets presented is very rarely the news as it happened.

My only criticism of the book is its coverage of the propaganda war in Iraq. It's undoubtedly all true, and relevant to the book, but I found that the middle of the book onwards was almost totally devoted to it, and it just turned me off a bit. It felt at times like the real message of the book was a criticism of Blair and Bush and that the stuff about the press was merely to illustrate that point, rather than the other way round.
