Thavas has discovered how to transfer not only organs from body to body, but brains as well.He proceed to train Paxton, now known as Vad Varo, in this discipline, with the objective of achieving immortality for them both.The plan runs astray though, when Vad Varo falls in love with a beautiful woman whose body has been sold to an evil Jeddara, leaving her a wrinkled old husk.What follows is the rather standard "chase the princess across Barsoom (or at least the body of the princess) that has been the mainstay of the Series thus far, with the new added wrinkle of having bodies change hands with regularity.There is, of course, the obligatory meeting with John Carter at the end where everything is wrapped up quite succinctly. Like all of his martian novels, "Mastermind of Mars" is a fast moving easy to read and enjoy adventure.There's nothing horribly new here, but any chance to walk again upon Burrough's red planet is a delight, and most fans will be thorougly pleased with the visit. ...

52. Mars and Venus in the Workplace: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting Results at Work by John Gray | |

list price: US$24.95 -- used & new: US$8.14 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: B00006B6V4 Average Customer Review: ![]() Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan |
Editorial Review Product Description John Gray shows that by understanding the differences between men and women in the workplace, anyone can identify and respond to various business approaches in a manner that earns greater respect and promotes increased cooperation. By recognizing how men and women interpret behaviors and reactions differently, a person can make more informed choices of how to make the best impression. Mars and Venus in the Workplace analyzes the differences in the ways men and women communicate, solve problems, react to stress, earn respect, promote themselves, experience emotional support, minimize conflict, score points, view sex, and ask for what they want. By showing the many ways men and women misunderstand and misinterpret each other in the workplace, John Gray offers practical advice on reducing unnecessary conflict and frustration. Filled with his trademark communications charts and practical advice on everyday office issues, Mars and Venus In The Workplace will enable readers to achieve their goals and to make the workplace a source of fulfillment. Gray proceeds to cover a variety of situations typical on the job, from solving revenue problems to negotiating a raise. With his important points printed in bold type, and plenty of prioritizing lists and straightforward examples, this is an easy read that allows you to focus on finding the solutions you seek, rather than wading through research terminology. If you are new to Gray's work, the continual gender-based assumptions may feel outdated, but know the author understands that no one is all male or all femaleand that we all have areas of sensitivity. The recurring gender pronouns are a simple way of teaching us what years of private practice have shown him: humans of both gender can benefit greatly by listening effectively, being verbally straightforward, and analyzing the reactions of others. --Jill Lightner Customer Reviews (14)
I should think that this book can be especially helpful to women, as they are basically working in a world that has been designed and run by men. As Dr. Gray says, a woman's challenge in the workplace is greater than a man's. While the books and research of Gail Evans and Dr. Deborah Tannen and others have described gender differences, this book by Dr. Gray sheds light on many aspects of workplace problems and offers solutions that are easy, respectful, effective, and even fun.

Editorial Review Product Description Landscapes of Mars is essentially a picture book that provides a visual tour of Mars. All the major regions and topographical features will be shown and supplemented with chapter introductions and extended captions. In a way, think of it as a visual tourist guide. Other topics covered are Martian uplands on the order of the elevation of Mt. Everest, Giant volcanoes and a rift system, the Grand Canyon of Mars, craters and the absence of craters over large regions (erosion), and wind shadows around craters, sand dunes, and dust devils. The book includes discussions on the search for water (braided channels, seepage, sedimentary layering, etc.) as well as on the Viking mission search for life, Mars meteorite fossil bacteria controversy, and planetary protection in future missions. The book concludes with an exciting gallery of the best 3D images of Mars making the book a perfect tool for understanding Mars and its place in the solar system. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description Millions of readers have learned about relationships from John Gray's previous bestsellers, such as Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, Mars and Venus on a Date; and Mars and Venus in the Bedroom. Inspired by this enthusiasm, Gray asked a number of readers to share their own stories of how they've put his principles to work in their relationships. The result is this amazing collection of first-person accounts-along with Gray's own enlightening commentary-that will have you laughing, crying, and nodding in recognition. Gray's contributors answer such questions as:
Their answers illustrate more eloquently than any textbook how to use Gray's advice and counsel to create your own fulfilling, healthy, and loving relationships. Customer Reviews (6)
If the concepts in that book are ones that you do not agree with, or already have full power for you, you can probably skip this audio cassette. I found John Gray to be a below average reader to listen to, and was tired of his voice before the cassettes were over.He made no attempt to shift his voice from his usual one as he read each of the letters, and listening became monotonous.An actor would have dramatized and differentiated them a bit to make for more interesting listening.Having a man read a woman's letter in a male voice is also fairly uninteresting. The words would have had much more meaning and impact if they had been read by the person who wrote each letter.Then the nuances and emotions the person felt would have come through better. John Gray's ideas about how to improve marital communication are pretty simple, and this abridged version could have been even more abridged.The two primary concepts [(1) of men listening to women without suggesting solutions and (2) women letting men have quiet time] are repeated in almost each one. If your relationship needs work, I suggest Relationship Rescue and the Workbook that can be used with it as a starting point.I think you will get more benefit from those than from this audio cassette.If your issues are severe or long-standing, you may also need professional counseling. If you want to read one book or listen to one audio cassette by John Gray, I suggest that you go to Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. After you have finished with whatever materials you have used, I suggest that you consider where else you may have weak communications.How are you doing with the rest of your family?With your friends?With neighbors?With those you work with?A good way to find out is to take some private moments to ask each person how well you are communicating with them.Chances are there will be opportunities to improve.Ask questions to improve your understanding of what they tell you.Then follow those ideas. Enjoy all of your relationships more!

The plot consists of a long list of Imperial requests relating to recent and past Roman military troubles on the frontier.Davis skillfully explains the history of first century Roman clashes with the Germanic tribes and relates it to the plot without bogging down in dry exposition.Falco's interaction with various members of the frontier legions shows Davis's thorough command of Roman military details.Falco's trek through feral Germania has the same wild adventure tainted with ghosts of legionary history feel as the journey beyond Hadrian's Wall in Sutcliffe's "Eagle of the Ninth."However, random encounters with several of the final people on Falco's task list leave the ending feeling coincidental.Regardless, Davis skillfully develops several new characters, including a gruff centurion and Helena's tribune brother, and continues to build the relationship between Falco and Helena.

"A Fighting Man of Mars" was originally published in six-parts in "Blue Book Magazine" during 1930 and appears to be rather different from ERB's earlier Martian stories in that for one the damsel in distress is not a Barsoomian princess.As Tan Handron pursues the woman he wants across Barsoom he encounters some of ERB's better villains (basically a new one for each installment in the series).As Handron deals with green men and white apes, spiders, mad scientists, and cannibals, he picks up a companion and uncovers a plot that puts all of Barsoom in danger and sets up the big climax. This is one of ERB's better books, arguably in the Top 10 of his pulp fiction adventures mainly because of all the fantastic creatures, futuristic weapons, and deadly dangers he crams into its pages.With Tan Handron ERB has a hero who is more plagued by doubt that we usually find and I also appreciate that in the end our hero goes for a real relationship rather than some idealized notion of love from afar."A Fighting Man of Mars" shows that ERB was a master of the serialized ("to be continued...") adventures. ...

Editorial Review Product Description A darling of the Low Brow and Outsider art movements, Mars' work has been featured in numerous museums and is held in numerous public collections. Tolerance is printed in accordance with the artist's social conscience.Says Mars: "It's a `green' book. Published using vegetable-based inks, on recycled, bleach-free paper. It was not made by slaves, the printing costs do not sponsor State tyranny, no child's hands will have sewn the binding.It's green and it's fair-trade.It took a while to make that happen. I think I'm as proud of that as I am of the work inside it." Customer Reviews (3)
