See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.......2007-05-24
WebViking writes a wonderful review of this book. I really agree with his part that says what is missing from the book, you really get a very limited feel of the players and the administrative people.
What really bothered me about halfway through the book is the way Feinstein fawns over the people he is covering. Brian Billick is not arrogant, just misunderstood. Ray Lewis should be deified as the greatest middle linebacker to play the game. Feinstein repeatedly defends Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis from the legal problems they had.
But Feinstein makes a big error with Ray Lewis. Ray went on public record saying he was a terrible 3-4 linebacker. Others said similar, that Lewis was only a star in a 4-3. The 3-4 was the defense that the Ravens played in this book. So it is apparent that Feinstein spent little time with Lewis despite the fawning.
Feinstein appears frequently on TV where he shows he can do something beyond kissing up to the people he covers. He needs to put some of that into his future books, it was sorely needed in this one.
Behind the Scenes with the Baltimore Ravens.......2007-04-12
Take the media out of the picture of your favorite NFL team. This book delves into the background of the Baltimore Ravens. Even if you're not a Raven fan, you'll gain insight into your own team.
what's your favorite team doing in the off season?.......2007-03-06
It was interesting living the life behind the nfl media wall. I look back at what I was hearing from the media on the outside during this time. Now I am curious, knowing what I do now,what is going on behind the scenes with my favorite team, compared to what I hear from the local media.
Great Insights for the Recreational Football Fan.......2007-03-06
I watch football every Sunday, college and pros, and so I'm a loyal fan but probably not hardcore. This book's inside view was intriguing. John Feinstein provides an inside look into a year in football following one team. I'm not a Raven's fan, but I much preferred going behind the scenes of one NFL team, learning much about the culture and pressures of professional sports. These elite athletes make great sacrifices both to their bodies and dreams. Coaches are under tremendous pressure and no job security. By the end of the book, I had a much higher respect for those who play and coach football, and for the Ravens.
John Feinstein does tend to do a lot of 2 pg bios of players and coaches that I'd preferred if he'd done less. But that was less the quality of the bios, as they do have a purpose of providing context to situations, then my excitement to stay within the main storyline--the football season and a team. Well worth reading. Sports fans will not be disappointed.
Pretty good account of typical NFL season.......2007-02-14
This book is a pretty well written account of the behind-the-scenes happenings of a typical NFL team--in this case, the 2004 Baltimore Ravens. I thought it depicted the brutality, competition and strategizing very well. I only wish that there this book had been un-authorized. Certainly a lot of the language is captured, but Feinstein softens it up a bit to make the book more presentable to his audience and I'm sure to avoid making the football folks look like rogues.
Additionally, I think we could have had a little more detail on how the game plans are put together, how injuries are treated, what the play calls sound like from the sideline, etc. Having said that, I really enjoyed the notes on players like Chris McAlister and B.J. Sams.
Book Description
Without Embarrassment: The Social Coward's Totally Fearless Seduction System
Harness the perfect High Status Male Attitude to create instant attraction in any woman that you please, by projecting the powerful Dominant Male Persona that she finds so irresistibly attractive.
A Good Rap is Crucial
The most important skill any man can possess is the ability to know when and how to approach a woman with romantic intent -- and to do so in a very classy way. Humans court with conversation -- both verbal and non-verbal -- so you must have an effective rap in order to capture the romantic interest of women, or you are dead, dead... dead!
But you can't develop any real skill in this area if your fear of being rejected blocks your ability to interact with women socially... to make mistakes, learn from them, and thus improve your game. So it's a good thing that...
You Can Become Fearless
A deep-seated fear of being rejected by a woman is a tough phobia to crack, but it can be overcome with specific knowledge and training. My 'Social Coward's Method' is a process that you can easily master which will allow you to act free of the choking fear that you often feel when trying to meet women.
Develop Your Seductive Intelligence
Without Embarrassment is not some "pick-up chicks" book that expects you to play a bull-in-a-china-store type of numbers game by hitting on every female in sight -- blow your ego to smithereens -- and leave the pieces lying all over the floor. Instead, it will teach you how to develop a kind of gentle, seductive intelligence that an amazing number of women (some that you wouldn't ever expect) will find absolutely charming.
Automatic Female Submission is the Ultimate Goal
A man who knows how it's done can set off mating triggers buried deep within a woman's subconscious mind. Powerful instinctual forces will then compel her to submit to what she perceives to be a dominant male. Seduction becomes an enjoyable pastime that you can play at your leisure once you understand these principles.
Using Without Embarrassment's unique socializing methods you will learn how to...
Overcome the mental 'shame & shyness' blocks that are holding you back from saying something clever and useful when you see a pretty girl... blocks that lie at the root of your rejection sensitivity.
Avoid sending out those deadly "I've been defeated by other men..." signals that low status males broadcast all over the place.
Become skilled at advanced psychological techniques that will compel any woman to respond to your advances favorably -- so that you don't get rejected again and again and have to keep crawling back into your hermit shell!
Remove the shame-fueled rage that prevents you from developing long term intimate connections with women.
Make fantastic first impressions in less than 3 minutes.
Break the destructive cycle of rejection / self-castigation, over-thinking and other self-defeating behaviors that are holding you down socially... forever!
Stop being friends with women and start getting laid!
The key to everything when it comes to being romantically successful with women is learning how to project the image of the High Status Male. Without Embarrassment: The Social Coward's Totally Fearless Seduction System will show you how easy it is to begin using your brainpower to serve your needs for a change, instead of short-circuiting them.

Simply.. one of THE BEST!.......2007-06-05
I found this book gave me a deep understanding of all the steps that he describes. He prefers to describe a few technics and ideas, but they are of a profound value and he elaborates a lot about it so you have a very deep understanding of it. I would say it is definitely for BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE level of expertise... , but it is the BEST to have!
Definitely for total beginners.......2007-03-26
I think a lot of the bad reviews here are from dudes who are already good with girls. When I got this book, I was painfully shy, and I credit this book for helping me break out of that.
A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK FOR THE PAINFULLY SHY & UNDER-CONFIDENT..........2007-02-13
... but wouldn't be of much benefit to your average, everyday bloke who's sense of self-esteem and confidence doesn't require psychotherapy... this book is more or less geared to the 40-year-old-virgin type.
Disappointed.......2007-02-01
I almost stopped reading this book twice, very disappointed not a good read what so ever. He kept going over the same things numerous times, the book was way way to long, for what i feel he had to share. He went into psychological issues and got wat to technical and drawn out. Wish i could get my money back.
From shy to sly........2006-11-05
This is one of the better books on dating. Michael Pilinski speaks directly to the social coward. Never have I read a dating book that speaks squarely to its intended audience. He only mentions problems the social coward is likely to experience (nervousness, anxiety, self consciousness), defines it, and destroys that belief system. The beauty of the book comes from Michael Pilinski's empathy for the social coward, as he claims to have been one himself. This book deals with the issues preventing shy men from dating, so you won't find too much on the opposite sex.

MORE MILD THAN HILARIOUS.......2006-03-11
There are far-better joke collections available in print, for those who wish the truly "hilarious". Most of those in this tome, however, are merely tepid grin-makers, at best.
3,400 Hilarious Laugh Line To Tickle Your Funny Bone.......2006-01-16
Great book. I purchase four joke books at the same time, and this was the best of the bunch. I recommend.
Be prepared to laugh! This book is the best!.......2005-08-04
No matter what the subject there's a one-liner for it and the best of them are in this book.Its a big book full of laughs.Ideal book for helping you brighten up any speech for any occasion.Grab a copy of this book for yourself and as a gift for others.This has to be the ultimate book on oneliners and not a rude joke in there.Enjoy!
Have a Giggle.......2004-11-05
Whether you intend to give speeches or would just like to brighten your day, you'll enjoy this book.
I fondly remembered a remark made by famous hypnotist, Dr. Milton Erickson, that "within every fat person, there is a thin person waiting to be excavated", when I read the following one-liner:
"Inside of me there is a thin person trying to get out, but I can usually sedate him with five or six doughnuts."
Here are few more examples from this book:
"Always be on the lookout for new ideas. Why, the guy who invented the spray paint got the ideas when he sneezed while he was drinking the tomato juice."
* * *
Kid: "When I grow up, I want to be a philanthropist. They always seem to have lots of money."
* * *
Do you know what doctors write to pharmacists in Latin on those prescription pads? "I got mine, now you get yours."
* * *
"I always hold hands with my wife. If I let it go, she shops."
* * *
Teacher: "Who's happier: A man with five million dollars or a man with five children?"
Student: "The man with five million."
Teacher: "Why?"
Student: "Because the man with five million always wants more."
Useful book that will put a smile on your face.......2003-03-16
Pat Williams, rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors(MARKETING YOUR DREAMS: BASEBALL AND LIFE LESSONS FROM BILL VEECK, HOW TO BE LIKE MIKE, etc.), scores again with WINNING WITH ONE-LINERS . . . this is a compilation of some 3,400 lines that will make you laugh, but that can also be used to spruce up virtually any speech.
I recognized many of my favorites--and many others that
can now be added to such a list . . . I also liked the fact that
Williams takes common situations, then provides you with
a response . . . for instance, when receiving an award, you can
say something to this effect: "I don't deserve this award. But
then again, I have arthritis, and I don't deserve that either."
This is one book that I'll keep around for my next speech,
toast and even eulogy . . . or maybe when I just want a quick
smile.
The only problem I have in commenting about it is that there
are so many funny lines that I'm finding it difficult to select
just a few to present here . . . yet a guy has to do what
a guy has to do, so here goes:
I just heard the saddest story. A doctor lost all his money on the horses. In an act of desperation, he tried to rob a bank. But nobody could read the holdup note.
On Valentine's Day I always try to do a little more for my wife-like holding the door open when she goes out on her paper route.
Our crack snow removal team has been removing snow around
the clock. And now that the area around the clock is clear, they
can start to work on the streets.
This is the time of year when people start going places where they can pay two hundred dollars a day to experience the same kind of heat they were complaining about in August.
They keep saying that women are smarter than men. But have
you ever seen a man's shirt that buttons down the back?
Dolphins are so smart that in only a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand at the edge of a pool and throw them fish.
I have a couch at work that I named Nautilus. That way I can honestly tell people that this afternoon I put in two hours on the Nautilus.
He was up until 4 a.m. with a great book. Once he starts coloring,he finds it hard to stop.
Life can be cruel. As a child, I didn't have enough money to go to a hair stylist. Now I have the money, and I don't have the hair!
He's so proud of his new truck. He didn't get the trendy kind--he bought a UPS truck. As he claims, "Laugh if you will, but I can now park anywhere I want!"
Customer Reviews:
Incredible reading.......2000-02-03
I found this book possibly the most provocative reading ever. I did extensive research to validate Mr. Brodeur's claims and am forever in his debt for bringing to light the hazards of the power line industry. Despite the pundits, the research is there to support Brodeur's exposé. I can't recommend this book enough to ANYONE who cares about their health, and that's all of us with a brain.
MUST READING!!!!!!.......1998-10-08
The verdit is far from "in" on Brodeur's subject. Indeed, recent (1998) studies reveal that he is quite right on numerous counts. Anyone that remotely cares about this subject should read Brodeur's books.
Brodeur scared the public about a non-existent risk.......1997-11-24
Brodeur is a powerful writer, and his book launched a series of investigations of possible effects of magnetic fields from power lines. In the last couple of years, the verdict is in: power lines do not have a detectable health effect. Brodeur was wrong. Brodeur caused authorities in several countries to waste enormous amounts of money: estimates range from hundreds of millions of dollars to the billions. He's a scaremonger. John W. Farley Professor of Physics University of Nevada, Las Vegas

I love pick-up lines and this book delivers. "The Definitive Book of Pick-Up Lines" by Max Tucker delivers lines that have more punch and wit, however these pick-up lines have more conversational quality to them. Devon Wild is a P.I.M.P.
Book Description
The concept of the "triple bottom line" (TBL) -- the idea that business activity can simultaneously deliver financial, social and environmental benefits -- was introduced in the early 1990s. A decade on, "The Triple Bottom Line: Does It All Add Up?" brings together the world's leading experts on corporate responsibility to assess the implications, benefits and limitations of the TBL.
This collection provides a review of what has already been achieved in stimulating change in corporate culture and bringing businesses to appreciation of the importance and benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and good environmental performance. It further explores the conceptual and practical limits of the metaphor of the TBL and sets out what can be achieved through regulation and legislation, presenting detailed professional procedures for environmental accounting and management and social auditing.
The contributors' wealth of experience and insight provides a vivid picture of how much attention is now being focused by business on delivering more than just financial targets, and they clearly outline the necessary steps for successfully continuing along this trajectory.
Contributors: Carol Adams, Tom Baxter, Jan Bebbington, Nancy Bennet, Ian Buckland, David Cutteridge, Deborah Doane, John Elkington, Geoff Frost, Rob Gray, Adrian Henriques, Rupert Howes, Vernon Jennings, Alex MacGillivray, Markus Milne, Paul Monaghan, Ros Oakley, Jonathon Porritt, Julie Richardson, Rupesh Shah, Cornis van der Lugt, Wendy Webber.

Crystal Manyfeathers is caught between two worlds: her life at a modern American high school, and her life with the Dineh, her Navajo people, where spiritual ceremonies and traditions prevail. In deference to her father, Crystal prepares for her upcoming womanhood ceremony. But days before it starts, a valuable rug Crystal has been weaving for the event is mysteriously stolen. Her best friend Henry believes the theft is punishment for Crystal's stubborn refusal to weave in the spirit line, a required tribute to the Navajo goddess Spider Woman. Despite their spiritual differences, Crystal and Henry launch a bold and dangerous search for the rug. Will they find it in time? And will Crystal at last learn to be at peace with her Navajo identity?

Good Intro to Navajo culture for 5-8th Graders.......2007-03-09
This book has realistic characters, a good mystery, and does a really excellent job of introducing 5th to 9th graders to Navajo culture in a non-boring and non-lecturing way. My daughter and I read the book together in the evenings, and it was so interesting to her that she was finding excuses to head up a bit early. I really hope the authors consider writing another book for children this age.
Review for the Spirit Line- by a kid.......2007-02-23
This book was not very good, I personally thought. I wouldn't waste my time reading it. I had to read it for my school's Battle of the Books. While my peers enjoyed it, I hated it. The book was soo draggy and kept on repeating itself. It sounded so much like how the elementary school teachers taught you how to write. Not a very good plot either, besides the part when Crystal's (the main character) rug got stolen, but I think we all got the point when they kept on the repeating that part for like half of the book (it's true!). Not something worth spending your money on. Not much of a mystery either.
