Book Description
A moving tale of love and forgiveness by bestselling author Barbara Delinsky.When she was just seventeen, Marni Lange loved Brian Webster with a consuming passion. Then a tragic accident tore them apart. Brian's broken body mended, but he never forgave himself for the accident that killed Marni's brother. Marni, her world equally shattered, was forced to choose between honoring her powerful, wealthy family . . . and the man she loved.
Now, fourteen years later, Marni is a successful businesswoman about to be profiled by a world-famous photographer . . . Brian Webster. Suddenly they find themselves face-to-face with the past that has haunted them. As a teenager, Marni couldn't defy her family.

This review refers to the audiobook.......2006-12-26
Highly enjoyable read.......2003-09-08
Once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put down. Delinsky uses a great mix of romance, drama and even a bit of comedy. The main characters had interesting careers (one a corporate CEO and the other a famous photographer) and a tragically intertwined past. I like how Marni stands up to her father when she realizes Brian is the thing she wants even more than her powerful job running the family business - which she was basically pushed into after the tragic death of her brother, in an accident that left Brian severely wounded. Love conquers all in this story and it brings a smile to my heart.
I had a hard time relating to the characters.......2002-12-05

Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers--And Why GI's Are Only The First Victims
Gary Matsumoto Manufacturer: Basic Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 046504400X Release Date: 2004-10-19 |
Book Description
Vaccine A tells a story of betrayal, of medical arrogance flourishing in the absence of public accountability, shielded by an unquestioning deference to national security. Investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto reveals that thousands of young men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces were subjected to medical experiments that were conducted without their knowledge or consent-and that have put them in grave danger. Not only have military scientists performed unethical experiments on U.S. and British soldiers; not only are they refusing to admit either the experiments or the effects they caused; not only are they continuing to use a deadly substance in experimental vaccines-this substance is being developed for use in vaccines intended for mass immunization around the globe. In an alarming narrative, Vaccine A recounts this scientific tragedy-from the U.S. Army's tradition of medical experimentation on soldiers through to the present, where the consequences of these experimental vaccines, if administered to civilians, will be unimaginably devastating.Customer Reviews:

In our most recent assignment, our client was impressed with the quality and quantity of the information gathered. Additionally, members of the client's leadership were also impressed with the level of participation from some of the more "quiet" people in the organization. The one-on-one questionnaire technique levels the playing field for people with a more introverted personality. Also, if you like applying a "Theory of Constraints" approach to operations you will observe that using the interview/questionnaire approach creates a multi-channel process when brain storming. (i.e. more conversations can be carried on simultaneously, thereby creating a larger stream of information or ideas in less time)
The CD alone is worth the investment!

Only in New Mexico: An Architectural History of the University of New Mexico. The First Century, 1889-1989
Van Dorn Hooker Manufacturer: University of New Mexico Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0826321356 |
Book Description
The campus of the University of New Mexico, blending New Mexico's characteristic Pueblo style architecture with regionally sensitive modernist forms, is unique among American college campuses, most of which have been modeled on European architectural styles. Since UNM's early days its leaders have wanted the state's flagship university to be a distinctly New Mexican place, what one writer called a pueblo on the mesa. Now Van Dorn Hooker, who served for many years as the university architect, has written a history of the architecture and planning of this beautiful campus.UNM's third president, William George Tight, fell in love with New Mexico in the late nineteenth century. His visionary appreciation of the creative genius of Hispanic and Pueblo architects, artists, and craftsmen led him to hire an architect to remodel UNM's first building along the lines of the mission churches that dominate New Mexico's Indian pueblos. This decision set the tone. In the mid twentieth century many UNM buildings were constructed in the Pueblo style, some of them designed by John Gaw Meem, the greatest practitioner of Pueblo-style architecture.
Hooker's account will appeal to anyone who has ever studied, taught, or worked at UNM. But its significance goes far beyond nostalgia. New Mexico was still a territory when the university was founded. And because the founding of UNM coincided with the arrival of the railroad in New Mexico, the growth of the university coincides with Albuquerque's transition from small town to city as well as with the territory's attainment of statehood and the changes it has experienced in the course of the twentieth century. To read Hooker's inside account of the ways decisions were made, buildings were funded, and the university interacted with federal, state, and local governments and events is to understand the ways institutions grow and change and the interaction of wise planning with the inevitability of unintended consequences.
Winner of the New Mexico Heritage Preservation Award from the State Office of Cultural Affairs, 2001.
An architectural history of the University of New Mexico campus, with insights into how institutions grow and change.

Knowing what to expect makes the unknown easier to approach........2004-06-29
The book "The Post-Pregnancy Handbook," by Sylvia Brown, explains in detail what new mothers can expect to feel after giving birth. It discusses recovery and any problems you might experience; caring for and getting your body back after you get home; breastfeeding; relationship issues; sex; and exercise.
MyParenTime.com recommends this book -- it answers many questions that women might be afraid to ask their doctors, and aims to reassure women that they can recover from pregnancy...physically, emotionally, and sexually. If women know what to expect after childbirth, they will be more equipped to deal with post-pregnancy experiences.
Give this book to every pregnant woman.......2004-02-27
Fine guide book.......2003-11-07
The guide is a general help tool on a myriad of topics (this reviewer doubts any were left out or at least cannot think of any), but by attempting to be so comprehensive, depth is somewhat lacking. When I showed my husband the statistician some of the supporting numbers, he groused that the statistical support lacks specificity making it unreliable as a source of information.
Still this is an easy to follow book and appears comprehensive in terms of including all the issues (medical and societal). Used correctly as an all-purpose guide that needs follow-up with a personal professional, THE POST-PREGNANCY HANDBOOK is a strong tome assisting the new momma with one source that furbishes possible answers to a host of questions and doubts.

Three super books in ONE!.......2002-09-20
Anne Stuart the Queen of the blacksoul, blackhearted bad boys we loves, gives a change of pace with a smiling, kinder-gentler hero in Chain of Love. Cathy Whiteheart was barely pulling out of the deep depression after an abusive relationship, so her sister drags her on board aa yacht for a day in the sun. What she did not count on was Sin - Sinclair McDonald the owner of the boat being handsome, and pure male. He is imposing, terrifying and so bloody attractive that he send conflicting emotions running wild in a woman that has been hiding for life.
Sin is more than just sexy, he is funny and kind...something she is not used to in a man. These characters are warm, real and easy to love.
The dynamite Lowell gives us one of her best in Granite Man - the rock em - sockem Cowboy hero with a chip on his shoulder and a past bearing down on him. But is does not stop Mariah Mackenzie was slipping past his defences.
The Third is Delinsky's First, Best and Only - A CEO Marnie Lang meets with her first and best lover Drain Webster, could they make it work this time around? The Character captive your heart.
I love it when they reprint these books you might have missed first time around, but show respect to the readers and no try to push them off as individual books at big book prices.
a super buy of three super reads!!
