The Legend of Juggin Joe - Review
The Legend of Juggin' Joe is a fiction based on a few
historical family members that is written with a light,
entertaining feel and a twinge of humor. This book is certain
to take you away from your reality, and into the shaded
mountains where moonshine is made! Young Joe is a hillbilly-like character who was raised in the
days when stills were an important source of
income for many mountain folk. Known as the boy who's
antics kept the mountain people talking, Joe certainly stood
out in a crowd. Purely by accident, it was discovered that Joe
had been endowed with a natural talent for "juggin"; or
playing a very difficult musical instrument known as a jug.
Few had the talent to play this instrument - fewer still could
master it. Joe came by it naturally, and fortunately, song
writing was somehow included in his gifts. His talent took
him to stardom but his heart remained in the mountains
where his soul mate waited. This fiction uses real events that actually happened to
members of the Yakel family. Author Joseph Yakel brings
the story alive through the narration by a friend of the family.
The use of the local idiom took a little getting used to; it is
very hillbilly sounding. ISBN#: 1411625889

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.

"A stimulating adventure! Sabine Muir has written a

Gilleland Poetry: A Book Review
For me, poetry is often too obtuse and difficult for me to get into. Whether it is the abstract metaphors, or difficult line structure, I end up struggling more than I would like to. And if I struggle too hard, I don't stay with a book of poetry very long.
The Road of Silk: Book Review
"The Road of Silk is an adventure fantasy, with mystical and
magical elements and a high energy feel to it that any
reader will enjoy. Although this novel is written for an adult
audience, I believe anyone over the age of 10 could easily
become immersed in its pages. This is a co-written work
between Matt Afsahi and Barbara Dysonwilliams, who have
written many of their own books in the past. In The Road of
Silk, they successfully combined their wide range of
knowledge in journalism, art, archaeology, literature and
languages into a wonderful piece of work.

The Southwest Airlines Way - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Over the years, several books and countless magazine and newspaper articles have been written about Southwest Airlines. Numerous MBA programs highlight the Southwest structure, its culture, its CEO, its low fares and other reasons as to why it is the bright spot in an otherwise dismally performing industry. Fortune magazine calls Southwest Airlines "the most successful airline in history." With a market value greater than the rest of the U.S. airline industry combined, Southwest Airlines is an amazing company with amazing management practices. No one, however, has completely captured the real explanation of why Southwest succeeds.
