Book Description

"J.J. was born for music," Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote of himself, "not to be consumed in its execution, but to speed its progress and make discoveries about it. His ideas on the art and about the art are fertile, inexhaustible." Rousseau was a practicing musician and theorist for years before publication of his first Discourse, but until now scholars have neglected these ideas.

This graceful translation remedies both those failings by bringing together the Essay, which John T. Scott says "most clearly displays the juncture between Rousseau's musical theory and his major philosophical works," with a comprehensive selection of the musical writings. Many of the latter are responses to authors like Rameau, Grimm, and Raynal, and a unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of writings by these authors to help establish the historical and ideological contexts of Rousseau's writings and the intellectual exchanges of which they are a part.

With an introduction that provides historical background, traces the development of Rousseau's musical theory, and shows that these writings are not an isolated part of his oeuvre but instead are animated by the same "system," this volume fashions a much-needed portal through which literary scholars, musicologists, historians, and political theorists can enter into an important but hitherto overlooked chamber of Rousseau's vast intellectual palace.

Book Description

Hey, golf fans--take a swing at code puzzles, crosswords, wise quotes, and "tee-offs"--plus other games and trivia about your favorite sport! See how you score on numerical golf lore: answer each question with one of the numbers on a diagrammed golf course. Then, plug that number into a given equation and do the math. If you come up with 4, it's bogey; 3 is par; 2 makes a birdie; and 1 means you've aced it. Or figure out who made this wry and humorous comment after hitting two tee-shots into a parking lot: "Well, that lot's full. Let's see if I can park this baby someplace else." Was it Nancy Lopez, JoAnne Carner, or Amy Benz? (The answer: Carner.) Even basic crosswords have something extra, because the filled-in grid hides a notable golf fact to decipher. It's the ultimate challenge for any golf lover! The author lives in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. 64 pages, 50 b/w illus., 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

THE GOLF CROSSWORD.......2001-05-26

The book was recommended to me by a neighbor whose husband liked golf while she liked crosswords. I not being either of the two, was skeptical but just tried it out to see how much i might by chance know, having grown up with golf lovers. Well i turned out loving it. I enjoy doing little puzzles and enjoyed spending time working in the book. The format was great, with lots of extra quotes for me to send to my golf-loving friends. I am also especially interested in the spanish crossword coming out soon. Bottom line- a great gift, and i recommend it.

Book Description

Amateur league golf will draw you in with its easy play and hook you with it's wacky humor!

Features

A state-of-the-art golf game complete with bad shots, sand traps...and jokes too.

Play against up to three friends or compete in a tournament against the characters in the game.

Play stroke, match or skins game.

Choose your club, aim, and swing. Control the power and accuracy of your shot, and remember to manage the wind.

The whole game is in full 3D -- from the characters to the courses!

COMPOSURE RESPOENSE SYSTEM (CRS)
With out proprietary CRS -- the game responds to the way you're playing. Manage the pressure, and you'll shoot lower scores. Get distracted, lose your composure, and the game will get harder.

CLUB YOUR CADDY!
Here's there to cheer you on, to suggest the right clubs and to keep you playing on par. But if he's no good, do what every golfer has dreamed of doing at one time or another -- beat him silly. But if you beat him up too much, he won't be able to offer his sage advice.

HAZARDS & OBSTACLES
Out of bound shots may be hazardous to your caddy's life: he'll encounter "wildlife" like 'gators, gangsters, and bees (lots of them!).

TWO VERY PUBLIC COURSES
The Newark Municipal Golf Course -- lovely low-lying marsh lands, hills of architecturally unique, decomposing artifacts (aka mountains of garbage), views of large birds hovering overhead...what more could you ask for? Maybe a plane flying overhead or a broken-down golf cart on cinder block?
Mosquito Greens of Okeechobee -- beware the hidden swamps, the alligator crossings, and the alligators themselves, as you experience nature as never before.

insufficient coverage of betting tactics.......1999-02-14

This book provides the basic guidlines a golfer would use to gamble during the playing of one round of golf. The explaination of the gambling games and how they are played is most instructive. This instruction teaches the beginning golf gambler how to place bets and score specific games in a manner to allow the beginer to protect himslef from cheating or being decieved by a experienced charlatan. This book lacks coverage and discription of how golf gambling would be applied to a charity event sponsored by a golf course and jointly played by all golf club members.

Reggie Johnson, Author, "How To Close More Customers"

Sales Dogs - Sales Adventure Guide - Little Red Book of Selling.......2006-03-29

Sales Dogs is a real howl! (Sorry for the pun.) This book is intended to provide basic insight into the sales profession and smooth out a sales person style and/or provide them with a style other than acting like an overly aggressive dog. To the previous point it does a good job! I did find the book a bit idealistic at times compared to my recent sales experience (I've been in sales for the last 2 years)

Another book I just finished reading and highly recommend is the Sales Adventure Guide. (Just purchased 2 weeks ago on Amazon)

The Sales Adventure Guide fills in where Sales Dogs leaves off. It outlines how to sell effectively, identify a lucrative sales/marketing/business opportunity, stay employed, earn a ton of money, and negotiate a severance package once it's time leave and pursue your other goals (Has any one ever had a college class in severance negotiation??? Seems to me gray haired folks know ALL about it...but the young guns get left in the dark.) The Sales Adventure Guide book will teach you the ropes with unbiased information.

Another good reality based read is The Little Red Book of Selling.

Best of luck everybody. Sell! Sell! Sell!

Good introductory book... with an analogy taken too far........2006-01-08

"Sales Dogs" is a part of the "Rich Dad Advisors" series on sales and selling techniques. I was interested to read this book as Robert Kiyosaki encourages sales a whole lot.

"Sales Dogs" is a good introductory book. It breaks people up into different categories or "breeds" based on each person's strengths. I liked this approach because it's tailored towards each person strengths instead of taking the "1 size fits all" approach. I also really liked that it showed how you can be a successful salesperson without being a "pit bull".

"Sales Dogs" is typical "Rich Dad" material meaning it is written for the beginner. This makes the book easy to read but it isn't full of a lot of substance. Also, the dog analogy is just taken WAY too far! Here's an excerpt.... "Don't steal food off the table or counters or out of the refrigerator. Be honest and operate with integrity in all matters. Full disclosure in all cases." WTF??? Going from stealing food from the counter to integrity is quite a jump! I want to read about sales.... not try and interpret every dog analogy ever made!!!

If you are new to sales, then this book is probably for you. If you have any experience whatsoever, you probably won't find much use for this book. 3 out of 5 stars.

Sorry Robert.......2005-12-28

I truly enjoyed all of the other Rich Dad Poor Dad books, but this one is awful. I have recommended all of the books to a number of my close friends and family. I will have to warn them all of this book. You know, you can knock them all out of the park though. I still will recommend that everyone should read Rich Dad Poor Dad at the very least.

I'm Going To Be Brief.......2005-09-26

Kiosaki has a talent for story telling many of his advisors don't. This book from the advisor series is a big exception. But there's another reason I really liked it. I don't enjoy the idea of aggressive cold calls to someone who doesn't want to talk to me. This book shows how you can make this type of attititude an asset. In other words it explains why you don't always need to be aggresive to close the deal.
