    5 out of 5 stars YOUR SOURCE FOR SURF TRAINING.......2004-05-26

    This book is by far the greatest source for surf training avaliable. Living on the beach or miles away, its exercises will put you in fit for all year long. Furthermore, it helped me out to avoid common surfing injuries, such as sore back. The cardio-workout section is the chapter that every surfer should know and do. Buy this book if your are looking for a complete guide for surf conditioning.

    5 out of 5 stars Saved my life!.......2004-03-17

    First of all,I'll review the book, then I'll tell you how it saved my life...

    As a 31 year old surfer, I knew that I wasn't getting any younger, I also wasn't getting any better at surfing. I needed a lift, one that could help on days I couldn't get to, or it wasn't worth going in the water.This is it. Paul Frediani has written quite possibly the most important single book for surfers, ever published.

    The book is a comprehensive training guide on flexibilty, strength, suppleness and balance, written exclusively with surfers in mind. With contributions from top surfers and watersports experts, it is also full of inspiring titbits.

    The book is broken into four main training disciplines
    , Flex time, the Surf Flex workout, Cardio Conditioning and the Wahine(womens)Workout.

    The Flex time ection is a basic yoga guide and a guide to stretching and flexibility exercises. The exercises are accompanied by clear photos, and are a good starting point. (I would heartilty recommend "Yoga-Learn Yoga_Beginners Class 1" video, available from amazon as an excellent beginning companion.)

    Cardio conditioning is a section of beach, pool and dry land workouts to get your heart pumping and your body working. I heartily agree with Frediani that all surfers need to swim at least a mile. This will help you het there.

    The Wahine workout,(wahine is Hawaiian for women) is specifically designed to help women build their upper body strength and to avoid knee injuries specific to women. Highly commendable, and yes, some of the exercises are good for blokes too.

    The piece de resistance is the superb Surf Flex section. This is a section designed exclusively to meet the needs of surfers. You need a Swiss ball to make the most of this section,(imagine a space hopper with no ears.)You can get them from any good sports shop, or Argos, for about $25. Money well spent! You carry out different moves, whilst balanced on the ball, such as sit-ups, knee tucks, and even pratice balancing on the ball, sitting, kneeling and then standing. This all works on the core muscles and improves your neuromuscular system, (your balance in other words.) It is superb.

    This will improve your surfing, no question, but it may be more important than that...

    Feb 2003 I was surfing with friends in North Devon, and after a good day of surfing, we were coming in to the end of our second session. It was a pretty big day, easily overhead, and with strong offshores. Tired but happy I decided to get out back for one last blast when I was caught in a rip and dragged into the impact zone. Try as I might I couldn't escape. To make matters worse my leash ripped off and I was left stranded with 6 footers dumping on my head and no board. I am convinced that it is only the fact that I had been following this training regime that I am alive to talk about it. The strength, determination, and cardiovascular power I needed that day came as a result of this book. The doctors actually said that if it were not for the fact that I was extremely fit I WOULD have died. Now that is an endorsement!

    2 out of 5 stars Pretty poor.......2004-03-11

    I have no idea where all these stars are coming from. Basically alot of stuff you already know. Nothing big at all and like half the book is dedicated to those swedish 3' diameter squish balls. If you are into those balls this may good for you, otherwise I don't recommend. nice sf surf shop plug though.

    4 out of 5 stars Flexibility & Balance.......2003-12-23

    I am hoping to learn to surf since my past attempts were not huge successes. It seemed that my balance was a problem so I bought this book and have been following some of the exercises. It is great! I have even trimmed down a few inches so I can look good when I eventually manage to stay atop my board. I found some exercises difficult because I have limited space and hard-wood flooring is less giving than the sand on which the book recommends. I have enjoyed the book so much though and it encourages me to continue my pursuit because even though it is snowing outside, I am at least doing something to prepare myself for this summer's waves.

    4 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but no revelations.......2003-11-19

    This book contains a good variety of information and exercises that emphasize overall flexibility, toning, and conditioning. Basically, if you are a meathead and have always thought that the way to improve your surfing was to just lift weights and bulk up, then this book will possibly change your surfing life. However, if you are a reasonably fit and flexible person who understands that surfing is much more than just a simple brute-strength test, then I don't know if this book will be much of a revelation.
    I have what I would consider to be a normal amount of non-surfing related yoga and fitness experience. As a beginning surfer, I *thought* Surf Flex might offer some insight into crucial skills. Therefore, I was a little bit disappointed in this book, which instead provides a basic introductory mix of flexibility, stretching, yoga and balance exercises. They are good exercises, and good observations, but I was already familiar with many of these. I suppose that it is good to have all of them in one book, so that you can easily work out a regular routine for yourself. The author's philosophy of fitness and flexibility is definitely sound, and is relevant to any sport and to overall health.
    For myself, I don't know if it was really worth $15. I see that it's on sale now for about $10.50; that seems to be a decent price.

      Book Description

      Sexual signals help you find, meet, talk with and date Mister or Ms Right using secrets of nonverbal communication. Forty photographs clearly show what to watch out for. The essence of courtship and dating conversations is to communicate, with and without words, "This is who I am. I hope you like me. Show and tell me about yourself so I can discover if I like you."

      Women, learn how you can easily get noticed, then interest and attract the right type of man, a man you can trust. The way he stands or sits, touches or does not touch himself lets you know if he is telling the truth. The brutally honest chapter is titled Courtship Tactics For Women. Men, learn how you can tell from across the room if she's interested in you just by her posture and gestures. During conversation, find out if she's leading you on or if she's sincerely interested in you. The brutally honest chapter is titled Courtship Tactics For Men.

      4 out of 5 stars Great Book for Body Language.......2007-10-15

      This was a great book very interesting. I read it in two days, which I've never read a book that fast, I just couldn't put it down. However the only bad thing I found was that it focused a lot on dating techniques rather than only body language. It was all right FOR ME, because I wanted a book more focused only on body language. Great book if you want to know more on how to pick up women though. Their are better books out there on body language though.

      5 out of 5 stars Insightful.......2007-09-22

      R. Don Steele is the expert on female flirting. If you don't think he knows his stuff, go to U-Tube and watch the videos made by his local TV stations. He accurately predicted the female response almost unfailingly. This book is a capsule look at his cogent theories and well worth the small price.

      5 out of 5 stars Life Changing. Buy all three of his books.......2007-03-18

      I have three of Steele's books and you can't find a better value anywhere on body language or courtship/dating info. I recently became single again and I am buying all three of his books for a second time, as the others are in storage. The information is priceless.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!.......2007-02-03

      There are many body language books out there, but Steele's one, as well as very very few others, are the truly eye-opening works of art.

      If you are the typical guy, maybe a little shy, who has trouble meeting and dating women, start by studying proper mating body language. After you learn and study how women communicate most of the time, you will speak a new language. If you know how to use it to your advantage, then you will know who to approach, how to lead the interaction with them, when to kiss, and (if you applied everything properly) how to get them into bed. Make no mistake, Steele's book is one of my 5-star recommendations to start getting successes with the opposite sex!

      And women will learn a few things too here, enjoy.

      5 out of 5 stars A must read!!.......2007-01-12

      This book is raw and pulls no punches. It gives you the honest truth about how men and women communicate through body language. This stuff is real and does work. If you want to reach out and meet people, start by reading this book! Everything you need to know about love and courting is right here.

      5 out of 5 stars This book will help YOU get CONTROL of your FEELINGS!.......1999-04-05

      I have to say that this is one of my most treasured books. It's insight is direct, and very sensible. If you have a relationship that you have trouble understanding, I am sure this book will help you understand it. It has greatly helped my relationship with my wife. If you are seeing a marriage counselor, you must have this book (and a highlighter!) I still refer to parts of it after having it for two months. It is well written, It does not beat around the bush, it is not frilly, it is very meaty and will not leave you pondering about what the author is trying to tell you. I am in control of my feelings, and this book greatly helps me in maintaining that. Jade Clayton Author- McGraw-Hill Illustrated Telecom Dictionary

      4 out of 5 stars Create the Relationship You Want.......1998-07-16

      This book enabled me to take a hard look at my relationship and identify the source of my unhappiness. I could start to see how I was partially responsible for the bad treatment I had been getting from my husband by not putting my foot down. As I woman, I think we all have a tendency to just hope our mate will understand why we're not happy. This helped to me to articulate the problems to my spouse and not be a particpant in my own victimization. Also it gave me a better undestanding of how relationships can suffer from mismanaged anger, fear, and power.

      Book Description

      It's been a decade since political cartoonist Tom Toles collected his panels in book form. He's had a busy decade and plenty of time to further sharpen both his wit, commentary, and pen. NOW Who Do We Blame? presents an editorial master at the top of his game, in all of his whimsical, sometimes scathing, and always insightful glory.

      Toles, editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post, includes his favorite frames from the past several years. His subjects include the 9/11 Commission, the 2004 presidential election, terrorism, the Middle East conflict, Yasser Arafat, Afghanistan, Iraq, and of course President George W. Bush. The collection title, in fact, comes from a panel showing Bush at his desk, covered with miniatures of the "GOP White House," "GOP Senate," "GOP House," and "GOP Supreme Court." "Now who do we blame?" asks the puzzled Commander in Chief.

      Such is the humor, satire, and intelligence of one of the most accomplished and widely read political cartoonists working today. Toles, who draws himself as the artist working in the lower right corner of his panels, takes on every issue and every powerbroker that crosses the national screen.

      5 out of 5 stars Sheer Genius, the People's Poet Cartoonist Laureate.......2006-06-02

      I start every day with the Tom Toles cartoon in the Washington Post, and consider him to be the Nation's poet cartoonist laureate. I've taken to buying his books as well, for cheer, for reflection, as gifts, and as a collector's item.

      The publisher has done this book a real dis-service by not using Amazon's "about the book" information upload capabilities. The table of contents, for example, not provided by the publisher, is provided here to demonstrate that this is a "serious" cartoon book that is both hysterically funny, and poignantly pointed at REALITY. The contents, as organized by the author:

      Politics and the Election
      Gays and Religion
      Law and Regulations
      Press and Media
      Health and Education
      Science and the Environment
      Social Security
      The Economy and Budget
      Security
      WMD and Beyond

      This is, quite simply, a sensational book. I will end by noting, somewhat pointedly, that Tom Toles' human wisdom as displayed across all these topics, makes a great deal more sense to me than the idiot "banana words" of most Republican and Democratic candidates for any elective office. Tom Toles for President! (I smile--he's too good a man for the job, unless we change the way we elect Presidents).

      Consider also Googling for his web site and sharing his daily cartoons with others--Tom Toles is as close as we get in America to the Solidarity movement and samizdat freedom thinkers that broke the back of communism--now we need to break the back of ideological extremism and predatory capitalism, and that can start with the sharing of Tom Tole's great work.

      Book Description

      Who Cut the Cheese? uses a delightful little fable to encapsulate the fundamental rule of modern American management and the new economy: "Survive change by shifting blame."

      The fable revolves around two malevolent rats and two spiteful "Punypeople" who find themselves trapped together in a maze, fighting over a dwindling supply of constantly moving cheese. Some characters adapt readily to this treacherous, shifting environment -- blaming the weak and overpowering the helpless. Others perish in horror, praying for death. Read this book and live!

      Written for all ages, the story can be understood by even the youngest reader: The "maze"is a metaphor for life, and the "cheese" is a metaphor for whatever you desire in life -- be it worldly goods, spiritual well-being, or unspeakable sexual encounters too deviant even for the Internet.

      The more advanced reader will also understand the secondary message of the book: "Resistance is futile." As soon as change happens, we must accept it immediately or suffer the consequences. This heavy-handed lesson is designed to engender unquestioning obedience to authority, and makes the book an ideal gift for subordinates.

      Large companies would be well advised to give this book to each and every one of their employees, especially if they are considering a restructuring to bolster shareholder value. Extremely short, even including illustrations, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unsettling conclusions on the nature of humanity should last a lifetime!

      This long overdue parody of the Number One "New York Times" bestseller "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a frank and hilarious look at how we bite, kick, and scream our way through life.

      1 out of 5 stars Gross.......2006-03-20

      This book is in poor humor. It is intended to be a comic parody of the book "Who Moved My Cheese." I found it to be gross and disgusting. Buyer Beware!!!

      5 out of 5 stars A Sophisticated Demolition of Corporate Values.......2005-05-12

      Mason Brown's parody only occasionally uses "toilet humor"; vulgarity is used no more than any other literary device in this short volume. Rather, the whole point of Brown's writing is to expose how extended and simple-minded allegories are used to smuggle into a conversation indefensible premises. Flatulence is only one of many unpleasant implications of the WHO STOLE MY CHEESE? allegory. Brown shows what would happen if people in real life fully accepted the premises of American corporate culture: cutthroat competition, the acceptance of any "change" authority hands out, and the cult of the CEO. The painful passages are not about gassy diets but at the end where the references to HEART OF DARKNESS as middle management jerks cut each other down and tear down civilization.

      In addition to "vulgarity" and sophistication, there are nice subtle touches, such as sly references to real life corporate disasters like Long Term Capital and Swedish Match Company. Brown is listed as the author of fictional books teaching the same quick fix cutthroat lessons of corporate business for other parts of life; my favorite is: CRY WOLF AND WIN! HOW TO FALSELY ACCUSE RELATIVES OF MOLESTATION AND GAIN ATTENTION AND SYMPATHY. Brown shows us that such immoral tactics are the ultimate meaning of the Jack Welch Way.

      WHO CUT THE CHEESE? is, in short, a brilliant morality tale for our times.
      By the way, someone should tell Amazon that the Forward's author, Krubenaker, is not a real person.

      1 out of 5 stars Crass, ugly. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this book........2004-11-10

      Yes, it is a parody of "Who Moved My Cheese". But buy this book only if you are looking to read juvenile bathroom humor, or worse, humor that is sexist and crass.

      2 out of 5 stars useless toilet humor.......2003-11-26

      a second star is given for the two times it made me chuckle. but if you're trying to decide wether to spend your 13 dollars on this book or in the diner down the street on a cheeseburger and a strawberry shake, opt for the cheeseburger.

      unless you are a fan of fart jokes and toilet humor, which i haven't found funny since the age of 9, don't buy this book. there's simply not much there.

      5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!.......2001-10-12

      My boss forced me to read the original, and it practically killed me.

      This book took some of the pain away (though not the recurring nightmares).

      As for some reviewers charges of "crudeness" and ethnic stereotyping, I found Brown's coarser jokes to be a refreshingly politically incorrect tonic. It's also what I would expect from the managing editor of National Lampoon. Funny and edgy.

      I also liked the parallels to "Heart of Darkness," and the progression into madness and death, but maybe that's reading too much into a parody book with a fart pun for a title.

        3 out of 5 stars daddy? daddy come home!!.......2007-04-20

        The twins parents seperate and Lizzy takes it the hardest because Jessica blames her for it. So instead of punching Jess in the mouth, she decides to run away...for like the night...at her friends house. Umm isnt that called a sleepover?? Since this is a serious subject there is quite a bit of melodrama which I luckily can't relate to. My dad was never around to begin with. So BOOYAH Sweet Valley!
        Also there is an ongoing subplot from the last book about Jess meeting some guy from a 900 # party hotline. Whatevs. Not one of the best SVH, but readable.

        3 out of 5 stars Just an average Sweet Valley High book.......2002-05-27

        Before I even read this book I had to laugh, because I have another Sweet Valley High book with an almost identical cover but that time it was Jessica who was running away. The topic of this book is the Wakefield parents not getting along, with Alice Wakefield's career coming between the family. The cover is a little misleading though, Elizabeth is running away because Jessica blames her for their parents' problems. Well she doesn't even attempt to run away until practically the end of the book! I won't say where she "runs away" to, but it's a little obvious, and if I were her parents I would have found her in about 10 minutes!

          Book Description

          Workplace bullying is an area that has attracted significant press attention throughout the last decade. A variety of well publicized surveys have revealed that this is an issue endemic in working life in Britain; and, at a conservative estimate, over half the working population can expect to experience bullying at work (either directly by being bullied, or through witnessing it) at some stage in their careers. This is now seen to be a disturbing event, with something like a fifth of witnesses and a quarter of direct targets leaving their organizations. This serious damage to individuals has been accorded little direct research in Britain, although it has resulted in court cases brought under health and safety and equal opportunities legislation. The recognition of the problem and the emergence of court cases, have both served to focus employers on the need to deal with the issue. The recent strike vote at Ford in Dagenham, asking the employer to enforce existing anti-harassment policies, highlights the fact that having paper policies is not enough. Workplace Bullying is derived from the largest survey ever carried out on workplace bullying, supported by the CBI, TUC, Federation of Small Businesses, IPD, and the HSE among others. This study covered 5,500 people, but the book goes beyond it to explore all the issues associated with what is becoming a major issue in organizations.

            "Herzen's novel played a significant part in the intellectual ferment of the 1840s. It is an important book in social and moral terms, and wonderfully expressive of Herzen's personality."--Isaiah Berlin

            Alexander Herzen was one of the major figures in Russian intellectual life in the nineteenth century. Who Is to Blame? was his first novel. A revealing document and a noteworthy contribution to Russian literature in its own right, it establishes the origins of Herzen's spiritual quest and the outlines of his emerging social and political beliefs, and it foreshadows his mature philosophical views.
