Law Books

Yes, the book is a quick read. But the author is genuinely interested in helping the reader understand the law of attraction. There are many books on manifesting, but there isn't one book, or THE book on LOA that will resonate with everyone--that's why we keep searching and reading until something clicks. The author does list her email address in case the reader still needs help with manifesting. I did contact her and she replied promptly with some useful advice. There was no fee for this, which makes me believe that the author is sincere.

I found this book to be good and gave me a few extra tidbits about why things were not working for me but I was a little put off on how it was suggested I spend more money on other things to get the help I needed. I am sorry, but if I had money to hire people to help me clear my energy I would not need this book. I understand you can learn how to do it yourself but I thought this book would be more than it was.

I really enjoyed this book. I was struggling with manifesting and after reading the book still unsure on how to make it work for me. A few weeks later I happened to pick up the book and thought "maybe there is an email" and at the back of the book, the author gives you her email address. Kathleen is wonderful - and helps you see things specific to you and what could be blocking you from receiving. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with the law of attraction.

In the last 7 or 8 years I had the good fortune of reading a fair amount of self-help literature including books on the Law of Attraction. And I have enjoyed each one of those books. Each book taught me something new while reinforcing many other good ideas. Reading "Not Manifesting" has been a real joy - the book has been so beautifully written that it touched my heart and made me cry. I believe the candid approach of the author will help many of us to not only get a good grasp of the Law of Attraction but will also serve as a kind reminder of some of the fundamental principles of living a life of true joy.

I want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly congratulate the author on writing this marvelous book.

This book is a GEM!!! The author's kindness, compassion, and genuine desire to help her readers were evident in every line!

If you are contemplating on buying this book, you've probably tried (just as I have) to tap into the Law of Attraction by watching The Secret, reading thicker and more sophisticated books on the topic in general, and Quantum theories in particular, and possibly everything in between...BUT those efforts have NOT yet yielded the results you seek, otherwise, you probably wouldn't be here.

Well, Kathleen's book serves as the "missing link" bridging the "why" the law of attraction works with the "HOW" to put it into practice.

In response to those reviewers, who complained about the book's plain language: Yes, this is not an intellectually/scholastically written 200 page book, but a simple account of one woman's success in defeating those beliefs, that pose as a road block to deliberate creation, and her genuine desire to pass on her techniques in the hope that they will be helpful to many of us, who are "lost" in a our own "sea" of limiting beliefs, struggling to reach the "shore" and "shake off" the "excess" water.

Moreover, those reviewers have not considered one key point: This book was NOT intended to be a literature piece, but a GUIDE; an "instruction manual" on how to live our lives as DELIBERATE creators, rather than passive observers stuck in "chasing our own tails..." And as such, the author unquestionably achieves her objective!

That said, I believe that it is the very SIMPLICITY and the conversational style of Kathleen's book that make up the bedrock of its power! Fact is, that our recall abilities decline rapidly as time passes, and most of our brains retain simple analogies and imagery vs. sophisticated prose, and this book is filled with analogies that paint vivid mental pictures and thus get "imprinted" in memory, which tremendously aids in the CONTINUOUS implementation of the LOA principles.

Given the vast array of information on the Law of Attraction out there, there's hardly anything new that can be said about the topic, and the information in this book is nothing new. HOWEVER, it is not the CONTENT of the information that counts, but the WAY in which it is presented, which is why we buy multiple books on the subject in the hopes that one will "speak" to us. This book has deeply resonated with me, and although I realize that it may not "speak" to everyone, for $10 bucks, I would strongly encourage you to give it a chance! After all, you still haven't achieved your goal of becoming a deliberate creator, and this may just be the key...

Thanks, Kathleen, for your invaluable contribution! I feel very fortunate to have come across this book and give it a home on my night stand (a book shelf would be too far...lol)

P.S. The only reason why I've given this book four stars, is because it does need a bit of simple editing. However, if you are willing to truly absorb the richness and wisdom of its contents, this need not be a deterrent! (If a lack of some editing will "offend" your intellect, there's nothing wrong with that, but that indicates that you are coming from a place of "ego," from which true manifestation can never take place...and believe me, I myself, am in dire need of living by that statement :-)).

It was okay. It was a must read for class. A little dry at time, but it was okay.

I found this book very enlightening and I think everyone should read this book at least once. I would compare his anecdotes to those of Upton Sinclair when he wrote the The Jungle. This is why you see so much criticism among these reviews, because the things he writes about are rather shocking to those of us outside the farming community. None of us liked to read about the things that went on in the meatpacking industry and I doubt most people would pick Sinclair's book a second time for that reason, it's impressions were that strong the first time around. Well the same can be said for this book and that's why some here have criticized him so voraciously. You won't step away from this book without seeing things differently, it's really that insightful.

Beyond the subject matter, the writing is engaging for the most part and I think most everyone will find it as such. I didn't like the page formatting, since he double spaces between paragraphs, but this is relatively minor. I might add that on a couple of occasions he presses too hard on a few points. It's as if he wants to convince people of his message before telling the whole story. His story is enough to convince people, so this preaching and double spacing does feel like he's trying to add bulk to the book.

His story really needs to be told, so I hope everyone reading this review will take the time to read this book. I can even envision that one day schoolchildren will be reading this and Sinclair side by side. They'll then wonder if people and government really were like that prior to their generation. If you stopped eating hotdogs after reading The Jungle, you'll probably start eating locally after this one, it's really that compelling.

Well written, humorous stories from an independent small farmer detailing his struggles with government oversight and inspection. The role of the USDA in particular and government regulators as presented by Salatin is to make things as difficult as possible for the independent farmer.

Most of the health problems in the US directly arise from the industrial food system. Local, independent food is the answer!

Joel Salatin is a pionner. He is opening the way for all of us in tomorrow's world of good food coming from self sustaining farm. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in your future.

More of a political piece than I would have hoped for, Joel Salatin did prepare me for his rant-laced manifesto when he titled his book Everything I Want to do is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front. I had wrongfully assumed that Salatin would offer stories and anecdotes regarding procuring and selling local foods. Instead, I was greeted with a long-winded, bitter outburst that provided few real solutions for what Salatin deems to be the e.coli to his beef: government bureaucrats.

The true "meat and potatoes" issue in this book is an issue that I do empathize with: his frustrations dealing with bureaucrats and seemingly ridiculous rules and regulations that most agree are designed for corporations and big agribusiness and are forced to make sense in the world of the local farmer. While wading through the insatiated and incensed rhetoric of Salatin's grievances against the government, readers can recognize the need for a separate, applicable set of rules and regulations for the local farmer, although those are not the desires of Salatin himself as a farmer who longs for the absence of all regulation.

I feel this book may only appeal to other readers who suspect and distrust the government as much as Salatin does. Perhaps my disappointment in this book lies more in what I expected from it and how it differs vastly from what I received. Salatin's attacks on government policy and government workers who he identifies as bureaucrats display a rampant mistrust of any authority figure, especially those who threaten the livelihood of his farm. Ironically, Salatin's utter hatred of the bureaucrat is reminiscent of the average consumer who is suspicious of food items that do not hold government-safety-inspected seals.

While his points about more rules and regulations being for big agribusiness and not taking the local farmer or food producer into consideration, the points could have been made in a more thoughtful, amicable way than was offered. However, when someone introduces themselves to you as "a third generation-Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-capitalist lunatic" what else would one expect but this reading, in its truest form? I do not empathize with Salatin's argument for the complete absence of regulation, but I do think that a separate, compassionate, and flexible set of rules need to be drafted and tailored directly to the constraints of the local farmer; rules that assure the quality of the food being offered to local consumers. That being said, I do sympathize with Salatin's position on the possibilities of our food vocabulary containing the words "irradiated," "genetically adulterated," and "reconstituted," however, our paths are divergent when reaching the end goal of delicious, fresh, local foods for as many as possible.

Salatin believes an overprotective, overinvolved government is the source of all his woes. However, his unsubstantiated assertions offer very little in terms of viable solutions. The book is more a rant against the national, state, and local governments than a real discussion about local food. Through the ranting, Salatin does manage to primordially stamp out an edict for a change in policy to allow local farmers to become self-sustaining entrepreneurs that meet the wants and needs of their local foodsystems.

Salatin is a nut, but a very interesting nut. Now, this book is titled "Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal" and so I should expect complaining. But, this book was over the top. He justs rants. In his view, no one but him can figure anything out. He will argue for a position in one chapter but against it in another. For instance, he says chicken should be tested based upon the birds health levels, not how the bird is taken care of. But when government inspectors show up at his farm to test his birds for bird flu, he feels he is being persecuted. He makes some interesting points, but he also gets some basic facts wrong (e.g. he says the VFW database was recently hacked into, but it was the Department of Veterans Affairs - the former is a private organization, the later is public). Also, more than complaining about how what he wants to do is illegal, he just complains. It seems that everyone is dumber than he is. He complains that regulations hurt him, but ignore the fact that there are many businees out there that would do even less without the regulations. His theory that the market will work itself out assumes that everyone cares as much as him. Dispite all this though, the book is an entertaining read.

The Sara books are great for kids! I will buy them all for my daughter. I have to say I'm 28 years old and I adored all 3 Sara books myself. They were really fun to read, providing an inside-the-mind of a child perspective of life and the law-of-attraction with lots of great stuff to ponder. I cherished my time reading these books and felt like the child/young woman in me was nourished. I especially loved book 2 but why not read all 3, they're all amazing!

This book is a must read for every human being on the planet, age is irrelevant......I read it in one day, then went on the to the following book, Sara, Book 2 and Sara Book 3. Esther and Jerry Hicks sage advice is ultimately life changing. Their adult book The Law of Attraction is jaw dropping, and will alter your entire view of human existence. I highly recommend their trilogy to every family on the planet........a great read together. I immediately sent a copy to my son and his family. I will be giving this series of books for Christmas this year to everyone. Their books are extraordinary. There is no human word to explain how important,utterly amazing, astounding, astonishing all their material is; and their books will completely rearrange your mindset. Everyone deserves abundant joy. A Must Read Book!!!

We bought all 3 books (and CD's) of Sara, as we love the "Art of Allowing" teaching of the Hicks & Abraham!
My daughter is 4 and absolutely loves it! We read 1-2 chapters every night from the books...and listen to CD's when we travel in the car. I also enjoy listening to the CD's, however the voice recording is boring, very monotone...but the story is worth listening to! I wish the recording would be of a better quality and different voices present for each character, it would give the story a different feel.

We really enjoyed book one, though we didn't like that Sarah teaches children that she can fall in a river and never drown because she believes she won't. She fell after her mother told her to stay away.

Book 2, has a great story about friendship, but sends a bad message about children leaving their home in the middle of the night to go into the forest and meet friends. No fear, no danger! It teaches that even though a character is killed, that character comes back to life in physical form; and some kids may actually attempt to fly without understanding the mental aspect the book tries to impart.

We've enjoyed all the written material for grown ups, but unsure whether we will go onto book 3 for our 9 year old. Book 2 feels a little pointless so far.

Quite an enjoyable read for all ages. I bought it for my grand daughter, read it before giving it to her, and I will be buying another copy to read again and underline. Great life lessons.

I'm not sure why a lot of these reviews mention flash cards, I have this book and it didn't come with anything like that. However, it is a great study aid. It has flow charts, a simplified outline, exam tips, and practice questions. It really gave me a better understanding of the subject.

I bought this product about 2 weeks before my torts final. The black letter law cards are prety generic and you're likely better off following what your specific professor says. On the other hand, the hypothetical cards were very helpful.

I think law students will get more out of other study aids. It was not concise enough to use as a supplement to a class, outline and it should not replace your class outline.

If you're in a non-ABA law school (mostly found in California, Alabama, Tennesse and Massachusetts) then these Torts flash cards are wonderful! The first 250 cards or so cover things like the evolution of contributory negligence to comparitive negligence in the 46 states that use the comparitive negligence doctrine. The format of these cards is fun and tests your knowlege of black letter essentials using actual names in situations that are spoofs of your favorite cartoon characters from childhood such as 'Wiley Coyote' These torts flash cards are wonderful! These flash cards can always be found on Amazon for $20 to $30 which law students know is a very good price!

When I ordered this book, I was skeptical it would be of much use, and didn't even pick it up to help me study until the night before my final. When I finally got around to reading it, I realized that it was a wonderful resource. The tips about what to expect on the exam were very helpful and easy to remember. The information is given to you in a way that helps you retain key words and facts you need as you are writing your essay answers on the test. I believe that this book helped me more on my Final than the review of all my other materials from class and online.

"How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom" is an apt subheading for "The Wealth of Networks" by Yochai Benkler. The book encompasses topics as broad as the name suggests.

The five-hundred page book provides a sweeping take on networks, covering nearly everything from the history of radio to the future of information law and policy. The dense Introduction may take readers several days to wade through, but offers the core messages of the book, compacted into twenty-eight pages. After breaking further into the book, the weight is lifted as the author's ideas are presented more freely, with space dedicated to supplementary explanations and examples.

The Wealth of Networks is a book worth reading and provides a respectable overview of many topics, with an array of perspectives to consider. Benkler presents his viewpoints nicely. A few points of contention for the reader can be seen in occasionally repetitious or presumptuous statements that break the flow of reading. In addition, the stand-alone style of each chapter is suggestive of a lesson plan for teachers.

To his credit, Benkler does well to ensure that his stance on each issue is quite clear; it is evident that he is a liberal proponent of freedoms and rights: "Freedom--the freedom to speak, but also to be free from manipulation and to be cognizant of many and diverse options--inheres in this (networked environment) radically greater diversity of information, knowledge, and culture through which to understand the world and imagine how one could be" (p. 168). "The increasing feasibility of nonmarket, nonproprietary production of information, knowledge, and culture, and of communications and computation capacity holds the promise of increasing the degree of autonomy for individuals in the networked information economy" (p. 174).

Despite pushing the agenda of his own political lens, Benkler does a fair job of offering both sides of his arguments. He does not just force his ideas on his reader, but rather gives an analysis of opposing views in order to prove why he believes his points ought to prevail. For example, on page 233, Benkler clearly outlines the five basic critiques about the Internet as a tool for democratization, and proceeds on page 237 with: "The remainder of this chapter is devoted to responding to these critiques, providing a defense of the claim that the Internet can contribute to a more attractive liberal public sphere." On page 271 he responds with a diplomatic answer to the critiques: "The first generation of statements that the Internet democratizes was correct but imprecise." He continues with: "The network allows all citizens to change their relationship to the public sphere. They no longer need be consumers and passive spectators. They can become creators and primary subjects. It is in this sense that the Internet democratizes."(p. 272).

With ideas repeated throughout the book, each chapter could stand alone - a benefit to an instructor looking to teach just one portion of the book. However, from a leisure reader's perspective, such redundancies can interrupt the flow of reading. For example, Chapter 6, page 199, states "The Sinclair Broadcast Group is one of the largest owners of television broadcast stations in the United States" and Chapter 7, page 220, states "Sinclair, which owns major television stations..." Such repetitions may cause readers to feel disoriented and pause to determine if they are accidentally re-reading a chapter, because the ideas were recently addressed and are still top-of-mind. This repetitive manner makes the chapters ideal for teachers who may want to teach just one section; otherwise, the repetition disrupts the flow of the book.

Another disruption to the flow of reading is Benkler's occasional use of broad or all-assuming statements. Despite his qualitative examples, Benkler sometimes uses statements that seem unfounded, or too general to be stated in the factual manner he uses. Benkler's "universals" may cause a reader to pause in order to consider the validity of such statements, and question what research or qualifications led Benkler to make such assertions. The following three sentences offer examples.

First: "The rise of global information economic structures and relationships affect human beings everywhere" (p. 19). Second: "This causes the person offered the money either to believe the offerer, and thereby lose self-esteem and reduce effort, or to resent him and resist the offer" (p. 94). Third: "The practice of producing culture makes us all more sophisticated readers, viewers, and listeners, as well as more engaged makers" (p. 275).

These definitive statements about "human beings everywhere," the instigators of personal resentment and self-esteem, and conditions that "make us all more sophisticated" are presumptuous and unsupported. The accumulation of such unfounded "facts" may cause readers to pause, thereby breaking the flow of reading.

In conclusion, despite the foregoing shortcomings of some statements and structure, The Wealth of Networks is a work worth reading. Benkler offers insights into a broad range of topics and makes his points by presenting opposing views, thus providing readers with both sides of the issue at hand. I would recommend this book, but forewarn readers that it can be a lengthy read at times.

A great book, even though it took Amazon nearly a month to send me the book.

An optimistic look at the ways online networks can better our society by strengthening democracy and creating more equality. A little dry in places, but an excellent resource for understanding how the Internet fits into the global economy.

This work was assigned in my last semester of law school. For the most part, I (like many others) did not see the worth in law school other than to become a good lawyer and make money. After reading this book, I feel all of the previous courses that I took in law school (mainly the IP ones) have more value.

I would recommend this work to anyone wanting to see how copyright and patent laws effect/interact with society and culture beyond the "incentive theory" that is the primary focus of most copyright and patent law courses.

I first became familiar with Benkler after reading his paper, "Coase's Penguin" in undergraduate study. I was delighted to hear of the publication of this book. Benkler continues beautifully where he left off in his previous papers and synthesizes an excellent theory of social production in his book.

Benkler begins by describing the economic shape of information - it's non-rival and builds upon itself. He explains the challenges that face information, particularly the Babel Objection. Benkler also covers some legal background on aspects of a "liberal society", such as the role of commons versus private property.

From there, he makes his way into peer production. He touches different aspects of this type of production, from open source to distributed content production & filtering (click workers) to the results of the FCC's shift towards commons-based wireless policy. I found chapter 4, where he connects social production to the economic concepts discussed earlier, to be the most interesting chapter of the book.

He moves on to a lengthy discussion of the political effects of network distribution and social production, including a summary of the history of mass media and predictions about the future. From there, he lays down his argument that we ought to continue to encourage open networks and information sharing. He presents a discussion on current legislation and legal challenges to information and provides some examples of solutions.

I read this book coming out of an undergraduate program in Information Science and wished I had read this book perhaps my sophomore or junior year. Benkler essentially lays out, in linear form, the precise message that my professors were teaching. Because of networks, information science in the 21st century will not follow the traditional industrial-style of distribution but rather a distributed and non-proprietary model. Its impact is phenomenal, not only in the realm of economics and science but politics, culture, and interpersonal communication.

This book ought to be required reading for every undergraduate student studying Telecommunications, Media, or Information Science.

I have been hearing about Yochai Benkler's book, "The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedoms," for some time and his exposition around what he (and many others) have called the "networked information economy." Benkler, a Yale law professor, also offers his 527 page (473 in text) book as a free PDF from his web site under a Creative Commons share alike license.

First, let me say, there are a couple of worthwhile insights in the book, which I'll get to in a moment. But mostly, I found the book overly long, often off-subject, and too political for my tastes. In fairness, some of this might be due to the fact it was written in 2005 (published in 2006) and the social and participatory aspects of the Web are now widely appreciated. Yet I fear the broader problem with this polemic is that it proves the adage that you see what you look for.

Benkler's argument is that cheap processors and the Internet have removed the physical constraints on effective information production. This is in keeping with the non-proprietary nature of information as a "nonrival" good, and is also leading to the democratization of information production and the emergence of large-scale peer-produced content. Benkler generally allies himself with the camp of technology optimists. His observations about trends and new developments from Ebay to Wikipedia to SETI@home and open source software are now commonly appreciated.

With the costs of information duplication and dissemination trending to zero, the limiting factor of production becomes human creativity and effort itself. But here, too, with hundreds of millions of Internet users, just a few hours of contributed content from each can easily swamp the ability of even the largest firms to compete. These trends to Benkler presage a "radical decentralization" of information production, and many other changes to the political economy and culture.

That radical changes in the nature of information production and authorship and even the role of traditional publishers or the media are underway is without question. Purposeful collaborations like Wikipedia are now clearly successful and were not forecasted by many.

The lens, however, in which Benkler looks at all of these trends is through the "modern" history of the mass media. Citing Paul Starr's "Creation of the Media," he notes how in 15 years from 1835 to 1850 the cost of setting up a mass-circulation paper increased from $10,000 to over $2 million (in 2005 dollars). In Benkler's view, these cost increases shifted the ability to publish away from the common citizen into the "problem" hands of the mass media. Fortunately, now with the Internet and cheap processors, this evil can be reversed. Though Benkler specifically disclaims that he is not describing "an exercise in pastoral utopianism," the fact is that is exactly what he is describing.

There can be no doubt that the role of mass media and traditional publishers is under severe challenge from the emergence of the Internet. It is also the case that we are witnessing citizen publishers and authors emerge by the millions. These changes are momentous, but they do not involve everyone -- only comparatively small percentages of Internet users blog and still smaller percentages contribute to Wikipedia (about 80,000 at present based on a user base of hundreds of millions). And, as the traditional gatekeepers of printers, publishers and editors lose prominence, new institutions and mechanisms for establishing the authoritativeness and trustworthiness of content will surely need to evolve.

These real trends deserve thoughtful exploration.

However, there is a reason that publishing costs increased so rapidly in that era of the 1800s. Mass publishing and pulp paper were emerging that acted to bring an increasing storehouse of content and information to the public at levels never before seen.

The explosion of information content that occurred at this very same time correlates well with the fundamental historical changes in human wealth and economic growth. Though mass media may prove to be an historical artifact, I would argue that its role in bringing literacy and information to the "masses" was generally an unalloyed good and the basis for an improvement in economic well being the likes of which had never been seen.

By taking a narrow historical horizon and then viewing it through the lens of the vilified "mass media," Benkler is both looking in the wrong direction and missing the point.

The information by which the means to produce and disseminate information itself is changing and growing. These changes in information infrastructure support an inexorable trend to more adaptability, more wealth and more participation. What we are seeing now with the Internet is but a natural continuation of that trend. The "mass media" and the costs of information production of the 1800s was a natural phase within this longer, historical trend. The multiplier effect of information itself will continue to empower and strengthen the individual, not in spite of mass media or any other ideologically based viewpoint but due to the freeing and adaptive benefits of information itself. Information is the natural antidote to entropy and, longer term, to the concentrations of wealth and power.

By trying to push the trends of the Internet through the false needle's eye of political economics, an effort that Benkler also erroneously makes with his earlier analysis of the growth of radio, what are in essence historical forces of almost informational or technological determinism are falsely presented as matters of political choice. Hogwash.

Benkler, however, does observe two useful dimensions for measuring social collaboration efforts: modularity and granularity. By modularity, Benkler means "a property of a project that describes the extent to which it can be broken down into smaller components, or modules, that can be independently produced before they are assembled into a whole." By granularity, Benkler means "the size of the modules, in terms of the time and effort that an individual must invest in producing them."

Benkler's insight is that "the number of people who can, in principle, participate in a project is therefore inversely related to the size of the smallest scale contribution necessary to produce a usable module. The granularity of the modules therefore sets the smallest possible individual investment necessary to participate in a project. If this investment is sufficiently low, then incentives" for producing that component of a modular project can be of trivial magnitude. Most importantly for our purposes of understanding the rising role of nonmarket production, the time can be drawn from the excess time we normally dedicate to having fun and participating in social interactions."

To illustrate this effect of granularity, he contrasts Wikipedia with its simple entries and editing and bounded topics with the far-less successful Wikibooks, which has much larger granularity.

Creators of social collaboration sites are advised to keep granularity small to encourage broader contributions, and if the nature of the site is complex, to increase the number of its modules. Of course, none of this guarantees the magic or timing that also lie behind the most successful sites!

I think that Benkler's arguments could have been more effectively distilled into a 30-page article, with much of the political economy claptrap thrown out. The book is definitely worth a skim.

I bought an earlier edition of this book before my law school exam 15 years ago. I ended up with the second highest exam score in the class. I practice consumer bankruptcy law now and I still go back to this book sometimes. It explains complex concepts very simply which is good for both law students and lawyers trying to find a simple way to explain bankruptcy law to clients. The diagrams and flow charts are very useful, too.

This book made the new bankruptcy code changes actually easy to understand. It saved my life and my grade!

I am an experienced lawyer and regularly read books (usually one-volume treatises) outside my practice area. Comprehensive books on bankruptcy are hard to find, and I purchased Blum's for lack of any alternative. The book is well organized, clearly written, and contains a lot of information. Even the attempts at humor are generally successful.

To offer some unsolicited advice to law students, I don't recommend using this or any supplementary texts in your courses. Stick with the casebook and other materials the instructor assigns. It may seem as if this requires more effort to learn the subject than is warranted, but you won't regret it. You'll never have the time once you start working to reread and think about cases that you have while in school. That 3 years may seem like a long time, but if you take it seriously you will benefit significantly throughout your career. It is surprising how often I encounter exprienced lawyers who are ignorant of matters I learned in law school (now long past) and still remember.

This is a great supplement that covers the 2005 changes in the code. Watch out for other supplements that are still owrking off of the pre-2005 amendments.

If you are taking an introductory course in Bankruptcy, get a copy of this book - And use it! If your course also includes Chapter 11 Reorganizations, I would also recommend that you get a copy of Chapter Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers. They are useful before exams. But I recommend getting them at the start of the semester.

This book lays it all out for you...way ahead of it's time and still THE BEST book on attracting abundance. I love this book...what can I say!

From helping guide us to new ways of viewing abundance to exercises to help sort through all the layers of "stuff" most of us have about money...this book DELIVERS.

I have ordered the CDs and cannot wait to get them to get started on creating even more abundance in my life.

The book arrived in As New and on time. The best you can expect. Thank you with appreciation.

This book is full of wisdom and lessons not only about money, but also attachment, fear, release, trusting the universe and yourself. I highly reccomend it for people who are starting a business, coming out of recession, debt, etc.

This is an excellent book. I had the first addition and read it over and over until I practically wore it out. I loaned it to a friend and it never came back. Of course, I had to replace it! I haven't finished reading it!

CREATING MONEY: ATTRACTING ABUNDANCE was a best-selling book around the world, selling over 500,000 copies with its easy step-by-step process on achieving prosperity through spiritual laws of abundance. This edition has been vastly revised and updated, adding new examples, stories, and techniques on how to attract abundance in all walks of life. Abundance means more than just money: readers here learn to link empowerment with choice in a powerful recommendation for any collection strong in New Age materials.

This book provided me with lots of insight with the FBI. If you are planning to get into the FBI, this is the book to read.

I recently bought this book to get a little more information about the FBI's special agent program. It provides a good history of the FBI, from its inception to how the FBI got to where it is today. It provides more information about the SA career paths and options than is provided by the FBI website, which was nice. The authors writing style is alright, a little wordy. I would only recommend this book if you are seriously looking at joining the FBI.

This book was an easy read, but contained lots of useful information. If you are interested in a career in the FBI I think this book would be one worth reading.

I've read several books on the FBI Special Agent career path, and this book is the most informative overall collection of data available. This is the only book I've read that details the specifics of an agent's career path and what to expect during various levels of an agent's career. It also provides excellent preparation for the two Phases of the agent application process, and I highly recommend this book to any person who is about to embark on the lengthy Special Agent application process.

This was the best FBI book I've been able to get my hands on. In the book you will learn about all phases of the application process in detail. Also, you will learn which applicants are the most competitive and why. Pay grades and benefits are included and fully explained. There is also a nice section on the six month training period that takes place at Quantico, Virginia for those who are selected to join the FBI's ranks. The author describes what an average day might be like for a special agent.

The reason I did not rate this book as 5 stars is because the author really did not describe the different divisions and responsibilities of each task force within the FBI (at least not with much detail). For example, he barely mentions any SWAT components and does not mention the Hostage Rescue Team at all. It would have been nice for there to have been more information about what each individual unit does and how they go about getting it done. However, I would still strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn the basics about the FBI. They are covered very adequately in this book.

This book breaks down Tort law tremendously. It was highly recommended by a second year law student and it totally helped when it came time for finals. It takes each section of the Prosser and Wade text and breaks it down into the most basic form. I'd recommend to all.
