4 out of 5 stars A must have for coders. .......2007-02-08

The professional edition has so much more for the coder and biller: anatomical illistrations, color coding and references to the CPT assistant for further clarifications. I have used the standard edition in the past, but the professional is so much better for my purposes.

A must have for physicians and for coders!

Book Description

Inside Triathlon, August 2003

The Waterproof Triathlete: Waterproof Workouts for Triathletes is one of a new breed of books produced for active athletes: Not only does the title contain great workouts but it is also printed on waterproof paper, so you can take it to the pool.

The Waterproof Triathlete is the second book from Thomas Denes. As with his first book, The Waterproof Coach, Denes has teamed up with an expert, in this case pro multisport athlete Desiree Ficker, to craft an innovative book full of swim-bike-run workouts.

After a very brief but humorous introduction to some training terms, Denes goes straight into the workout section, where the book's real value lies. The center 18 pages are die-cut from the page edge to the spiral binding, divining each page into three flip cards.

Each of the three stacks lists a workout for one of the triathlon disciplines plus a mantra-like workout tip. Printed double-sided, this gives the reader 36 unique workouts in each of the tree disciplines. Flip the cards at random, Denes writes, and the book offers "over 10,000 possible workout combinations."

The book assumes that the reader has a fair amount of fitness and experience, and the workouts are aimed at the advanced novice to intermediate athlete in complexity and duration.

It's a refreshing and humorous book that will blow the cobwebs out of any fitness plan. At $29.95, it may help your racing better than any titanium bike parts or fancy running shoes.

Book Description

The Waterproof Triathlete is a unique, self-paced workout book for triathletes. This book is completely waterproof and tear-proof, making it a valuable addition to the pool deck and gym bag. Triathletes can take the book to the pool, ride or run and plan their workout. Each page of workouts is die cut into three segments--the first segment contains a swim workout, the second a ride workout, and the third a run workout. The book can easily be configured into over 10,000 different combinations of workouts. In other words, if the book is used six days a week, it would take over 40 years before the same workout is repeated! Never have another boring workout!! Makes a great gift for that triathlon addict in your life!

3 out of 5 stars Not for the beginner.......2006-03-24

About a year ago I bought the waterproof swimming workout book, which allows you to mix and match parts of your workout and build difficulty and distance. Perhaps this one does as well, but I wouldn't know, because the workouts at the beginning of the book are already daunting and impossible for someone at the beginning of his or her training regimen.

In general I consider myself in slightly better shape than the average couch potato, the one exception being swimming, where somehow my competitive training from 12 years ago still manages to hang-on. My partner on the other hand is a weak swimmer, but strong runner. That said, the workouts in this book are WAY too advanced for someone who wants to start training for a triathlon. 2400 yard swim workouts are a stretch for me, much less my less-nautically inclined partner. And while he can handle some of the running workouts, I would have to consider cutting them in half or thirds.

This book may be good for someone who has been training on his or her own for a while and is looking for more structured training and greater variety. But for someone who is just starting out and looking to build strength and endurance, there are better training options available online and for free. Consider this once you can bike for two hours, run 3 -4 miles, and swim 2000 yards.

5 out of 5 stars Waterproof Triathlete Splashes to the Top!.......2004-02-06

Dear fellow triathletes:

I would highly recommend this training guide to all levels of triathletes. I've been competing in tris for 5 years and am always looking for new and exciting workouts. Look no further than this easy to follow, WATERPROOF, training book. I've used many books for assistance over the years and this one is one of the best. This book goes everywhere with me. To the pool, on a stand next to my bike trainer and beside me on the treadmill, I'm never without my Waterproof Triathlete. If you are new to the sport or a tri vet pick this book up and you won't ever have to search for ideas of workouts again.

Keep TRIng!

Luke Witkowski

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Training Tool.......2003-05-05

This book is a great training tool for triathletes. It has such a variety of workouts- speed, distance, endurance, etc. This could be very useful for those who do not have a coach- just open the book, pick out a workout and go. The book does live up to it's waterproof name. I tested it by dunking into the pool- did not affect the book at all! Add some variety to your training- get this book!

4 out of 5 stars Enough With the Notes Already :0.......2007-06-30

Finding what I call a "sophisticated cozy," is often a challenge. This is my first in this series, and it didn't dumb-down the mystery too much. Good characters and an interesting plot. I am concerned, based on one of the other reviews, that the series may become formulaic, but I will order more. Besides most authors of mystery series have a formula. No matter who you read, after a while, you get tired and need to switch up. My only criticism had to do with the notes. My goodness, she spends HOURS transcribing her notes. That is a little unbelievable. The interviews aren't that long. Fill that time with something else, Desiree. Maybe it's a ploy to close loose ends: Eureka! The answer was in my NOTES. Whatever. This isn't rocket science. We who like uncomplicated mysteries are going to have to take a little imperfection. This book was fun. I recommend it and will visit with Desiree again.

4 out of 5 stars This series is fun.......2007-06-09

There is nothing profound about this series, and the mysteries are not highly mysterious, but it is a great deal of fun. Time spent in Desiree's company is always enjoyable.

4 out of 5 stars delightfully wacky.......2007-06-08

I tremendously enjoy Eichler's wacky, chubby, citified detective, Desiree Shapiro and the off-beat characters with which Eichler's books are populated. Isnt' it fun how "gossip" helps Desiree solve things? This series remains in a category of mysteries that continue to engage my tastes -- which are tired and sick to death of the hardbitten, violent, and oversexed gumshoes that still inhabit too many of our mystery novels. This current one lives up to those criteria and I enjoyed the story, about which I will not comment any more so as not to impinge on your enjoyment of it.

3 out of 5 stars So-So.......2007-03-20


This series has become very predictable. Desiree gets a case, talks to lots of people, spends hours upon hours typing up her notes, reviews her notes 500 times, and then on the 501st review, sees something that leads her to the solution.

Add in a few nagging phone calls from the whiny Ellen (and one Mandarin Joy dinner at her apartment), a few evil eyes from the annoying Jackie for not being privy to Desiree's every move, and a few dates with the nerdy Nick, who spends most of his time fretting about his over-the-top monster kid, and it's getting hard to tell one installment apart from the next.

    Book Description

    Why is it so difficult to design and implement fundamental educational reform in large city schools in spite of broad popular support for change? How does the politics of race complicate the challenge of building and sustaining coalitions for improving urban schools? These questions have provoked a great deal of theorizing, but this is the first book to explore the issues on the basis of extensive, solid evidence. Here a group of political scientists examines education reform in Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., where local governmental authority has passed from white to black leaders. The authors show that black administrative control of big-city school systems has not translated into broad improvements in the quality of public education within black-led cities. Race can be crucial, however, in fostering the broad civic involvement perhaps most needed for school reform.

    In each city examined, reform efforts often arise but collapse, partly because leaders are unable to craft effective political coalitions that would commit community resources to a concrete policy agenda. What undermines the leadership, according to the authors, is the complex role of race in each city. First, public authority does not guarantee access to private resources, usually still controlled by white economic elites. Second, local authorities must interact with external actors, at the state and national levels, who remain predominantly white. Finally, issues of race divide the African American community itself and often place limits on what leaders can and cannot do. Filled with insightful explanations together with recommendations for policy change, this book is an important component of the debate now being waged among researchers, education activists, and the community as a whole.

    4 out of 5 stars Refreshing, yet disappointing.......2004-01-03

    I am pleased to see a children's book incorporating LGBT families as characters without presenting LGBT-specific issues as the central topic of the book. Kudos to the authors for choosing to depict a fair amount of racial diversity including interracial families. However, I was disappointed to see a lack of heterosexual couple representation. Heterosexual couples are overrepresented in children's literature generally, so I fear that the lack of representation in books like this contributes to a sense of other-ness: Non-traditional families do exist, but they are so different and separate from the mainstream that they all crowd together in the safety of their own book and are rarely if ever seen interacting with heterosexual families.

    5 out of 5 stars It's About Time!.......2003-11-21

    It is about time that LGBT families have books that reflect their lives in children's books without being hammered over the head with issues. This is a wonderful book and finally our kids can look at a picture book and see illustrations they can actually relate to.

      Book Description

      Globalization defines our era. While it has created a great deal of debate in economic, policy, and grassroots circles, many aspects of the phenomenon remain virtual terra incognita. Education is at the heart of this continent of the unknown. This pathbreaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of schools. Taking into consideration broad historical, cultural, technological, and demographic changes, the contributors--all leading social scientists in their fields--suggest that these global transformations will require youth to develop new skills, sensibilities, and habits of mind that are far ahead of what most educational systems can now deliver.
      Drawing from comparative and interdisciplinary materials, the authors examine the complex psychological, sociocultural, and historical implications of globalization for children and youth growing up today. The book explores why new and broader global visions are needed to educate children and youth to be informed, engaged, and critical citizens in the new millennium.

      Book Description

      The passions and intrigues of Napoleon Bonaparte's court are brought vividly to life through an unusual point of view: that of a merchant's young daughter from Marseilles who became Napoleon's fiancée and rose to become queen of Sweden. A massive international bestseller, the film version starred Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons.

      5 out of 5 stars Haunting..........2007-09-15

      "Desiree" is the (mostly) true story of Desiree Clary, silk-merchant's daughter of Marseilles, who becomes involved with the Bonapartes, rises with them to the heights of power, survives Napoleon's downfall and ultimately becomes Queen Desideria of Sweden, the first Bernadotte Queen. Desiree herself tells her story in diary form, although it isn't as annoying as the diary form usually is, and the reader experiences events of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as Desiree did--as a series of domestic events. That these events occur in royal households and that Desiree is a major player in them could be accidental, but one quickly realizes that Desiree is a remarkable woman and these are no accidents.

      The tone is intimate, and one feels as though Desiree is confiding in the reader as a friend. Annemarie Selinko is a virtuoso; even in translation not one word of this amazing story rings false. You will find yourself thinking of Desiree long after the end of the book. I read this first at sixteen, and found the historical information invaluable in a college history course (not the reason to read it, but it doesn't hurt).

      I've since read the Josephine B. books, and a wonderful novel based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte called "The Emperor's Lady" by F. W. Kenyon (available used on Amazon), which I also heartily recommend, but "Desiree" is the platinum standard by which to judge historical novels/fictionalized biographies.

      It is simply wonderful.

      5 out of 5 stars Not all of the book is fiction!.......2007-03-30

      I love this book (as well as the movie to this book) and not all of the book is fiction! There was a woman named Desiree Clary she was the first love/fiance of Napoleon Bonaparte. She married one of his marshals, Jean-Baptise Bernadotte whom was elected to become King of Sweden in the early ninteenth century. Desiree's and Jean-Baptise's descandents are still on the throne of Sweden to this day.

      I would also like to add that the author has done a brillent job in writing this book! She wrote the book so well, that it's diffucult to distinguish the line between fact and fiction in this book!

      5 out of 5 stars Imperial Splendor!!.......2006-10-18

      Annemarie Selinko's "Desiree" is one of the best novels about France during the first Empire. It is definitely my favorite novel about Napoleon, told from the point of view of his cast-off fiancee, the enchanting Desiree Clary. Selinko's characterizations and descriptions are based on meticulous research, making this book one of the finest of the historical fiction genre. Feisty Desiree becomes a queen in spite of herself, and in spite of Napoleon, through a course of events that are almost unbelievable, but true. Many famous historical figures are brought to life, especially the fascinating, glamorous Josephine. The fortune-telling scene is one of my favorites in the book. Well-written, gripping, romantic and an unforgettable love story, "Desiree" is a book to own and read often. It is goes well with two other novels about the same era, almost as if they were a trilogy, Norah Loft's "A Rose for Virtue" and Elena Vidal's "Madame Royale."

      Desiree, the fictionalized true story of woman from a small French town who was supposedly Napoleon's first love and then later became a queen, is a great book to share with your teenage daughter.

      My mother had me read this book when I was about 15 or 16 years old. The first few pages completely grabbed me and could hardly put the book down! Once I had finished, my mother and I looked at the encyclopedia together to see the actual photographs of Desiree, Jean-Baptiste, Julie, Napoleon, Joseph and Josephine. It was really great to *see* the people I had just read about. I have always remembered how *cool* it was for my mother and I to share this book and the real history behind it.

      By the way, I own my mother's copy of the book (which is falling into pieces now), and a copy that I picked up at a library book sale. I have read this book at least every other year for the past 30 years. It is a wonderful read each and every time!

      I hope you and your daughters enjoy this as much as my mother and I did!

      5 out of 5 stars I kept it from the library!.......2006-05-20

      I LOVE this book. I spotted it at the library because like other reviewers, I find an irresistable intrigue surrounding the near-mythical Napoleon Bonaparte. So, naturally, I picked this up and could not put it down! It is so well written, and translated for that matter. (I believe it was originally in french?) It is so romantic and when it's done you'll be so enthralled with the characters and the time period you'll want to reread it. Granted, it isn't the most terribly intellectual novel or thought-provoking, but it is to books what a well-done chick flick is to movies. When I finished this I passed it on to my sister (who knows nothing about history, nor cares) and it is now her favorite book. I've read it several times- I could not return it to the library and had to pay the fine!

      Please, please, please trust me; you will enjoy this book thoroughly!
