Jason Seeleys War - Book Review
"Jason Seeley's War" is centered in the heart of a small
American town where two youth are deeply in love, and have
been since high-school. Jason and Natalie's love runs with
a flexible strength that endures her recovery from a horrible
drug addiction. A very promising athlete and student, Jason
is welcomed to University, but Natalie won't let him go
without extracting a promise from him to stay faithful to the
love of his life. This promise ? he meant to keep. But then
the Vietnam War happened and Jason was assigned a draft
number just before graduation. He knew government
agents were about to collect. Jason was forced to go against his patriotic upbringing
because he refused to play a part in a war that he did not
support. Now labeled a 'draft dodger' Jason is a fugitive in
America and for his own safety he runs to Canada. Luckily,
he stumbles on an underground organization that attempts
to protect people like him from FBI Agents. Jason eventually
begins a new life dream of becoming a history professor
through the help of kind friends. However, he fears this new
dream will mean leaving behind everything and everyone he
ever loved. Jason is haunted day and night by the question
'Will he ever be with Natalie again?'. I felt that Dean Salter did a wonderful job portraying this
aspect of war. How this young man running from a war he
could not believe in, tore families apart. The community was
also torn in their perception of this 'criminal' in their midst.
New customs, new friends ? a new life to try to fit into
somehow, without the people he grew up with confused this
frightened young man. Betrayal and grievances create
miscommunications and a rift between his family begins
that may never be repaired. Strangers along the way helping
in the capacity they could at that time, never fully realizing
their small aide was a turning point for this young man's
journey. This is a side of the story of war that is rarely told so
eloquently. ISBN#: 0973066318

Kmarts Ten Deadly Sins - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Kmart's Ten Deadly Sins: How Incompetence Tainted an American Icon was begging to be written. It probably would have surfaced much earlier if not for the fear of many authors that publishing too soon would result in the omission of who knows how many future bewildering tactics by the forever transforming retail giant, K-mart. Actually, contrary to my early assumption, this book is less an indictment of K-mart than it is a combination of warnings and lessons to everyone else. There are so many negative examples in the news today of how NOT to succeed in business. However, many organizations fail to acknowledge or learn from these examples.

Albany, NY Family History Reference Now Available Thanks To Author Joseph Yakel
"Personal research references, especially for families who once lived in the South End area of Albany, are very difficult to come by", said Yakel. "Lower Albany had a very strong mix of European immigrants, especially Germans, throughout the 19th century. These were spirited, hard working people, that helped to build the city's distinction through their values and all kinds of family run businesses", he explained. "Unfortunately, unlike other parts of the city, such as the Central Avenue thoroughfare and the downtown district of Pearl Street, documentation relative to much of the South End, especially around the Second Avenue area, is far and few between."
The New Art of War, Tactics, and Power
To rise and flourish in the world, you need to act according to how things really are, and you need to be a good strategist and manager. Most of the tactical information in the world lacks much practical value. However, over the years there have been a few texts written that are infamous for their no holds barred practical content. This includes classics such as Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, Baltasar Gracian's The Art of World Wisdom, and the works of Han Fei Tzu.
How Would You Move Mount Fuji? - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
For a number of reasons, today's hiring managers from Wall Street to the Silicon Valley are totally restructuring their approach to interviewing job prospects. Few will admit it has anything to do with the fact that our litigious society makes it very difficult to ask almost any personal question of today's job applicant. The majority of those interviewing today don't even bother checking references because they know anyone they call will provide little or no information on the employee in question for fear of legal retribution. Again, few will admit these facts for obvious reasons. However, for these and other motives including a hypercompetitive global marketplace, a hot new trend in hiring is emerging. "Puzzle interviews" using tough and tricky questions to gauge job candidates' intelligence, imagination, and problem-solving ability, are becoming the norm in many companies.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life is another book focusing on the obvious. We've heard it all before. In fact, as stated on the inside flap of this very book, we've been hearing this message from this particular author for 30 years. My guess is we'll be hearing it from him for as long as he can speak. And speak he does. Brian Tracy is one of the top professional speakers in the world; he has given more than 2,000 presentations and addresses as many as 450,000 people each year. He's published 32 books and more than 300 audio and video learning programs. He continues to spread his message because he believes it; he has lived it successfully for decades, and has helped thousands of others learn how to set goals, expand their thinking, and reach their full potential.
