![]() ![]() ![]() So, I ended up switching it off half way through and just reading the book.Īs for the BOOK itself: Marvelous! I love how Ryan conveys such humanity and spirit amidst good historical detail. What I did NOT like: this was NOT actually Marian Anderson's actual performances (I wanted to hear HER voice!) and it took a really, really long time to "read" with all those songs-some of them were very very slow. What I liked about this: we got to hear the songs from the book-isn't it neat to KNOW what the songs are supposed to sound like, rather than guessing? Especially for something historic. My book came with a companion cassette recording which I thought was just going to be of Marian's famous Lincoln Memorial performance but was actually a narration of the story. I was so excited to find this book after falling in love with Ryan and Selznick's other book Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride Based on a True Story "When Marian Sang" did not disappoint! ![]() ![]() ![]() However the interesting thing about Phil Fisher is that he was primarily interested in growth stocks, and investing in stocks for their growth potential. Phillip Fisher is an investment legend to whom Warren Buffett attributes a lot of his success in fact I've read comments from Buffet where he suggests that he's 80% Phil Fisher and 20% Ben Graham. ![]() I'll aim to flesh some of these concepts out in the upcoming weeks, but one concept that I want to bring to your attention is the concept of a deferred dividend and why it maybe something that's powerful for younger investors to consider.įirst bit of background for all of you. This book is chock full of intriguing investment concepts that would take me a number of posts to fully articulate and present. I want to introduce that to all of you here.įor those of you who haven't had the opportunity to read Common stocks for Uncommon Profits by Philip Fisher, I would highly recommend it to you. I was recently reading an investment book that got me thinking about the concept of deferred dividends. ![]() ![]() A61- MEDICAL OR VETERINARY SCIENCE HYGIENE.Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed.)

He takes the reader through the detective work that found the fatal flaw in an exploded titanium fan disk. Laurence Gonzales, interviewed dozens of the survivors of Flight 232. Miraculously, 184 of 296 passengers lived-138, unhurt. And then people began walking out of the field lining the runway. The rescue workers did not move: nobody could survive that crash. The plane slammed onto the runway, broke into pieces and burst into a fireball. On 19 July 1989, while United Airlines flight 232 wallowed drunkenly northwest of the airport at Sioux City, Iowa, hundreds of fire and rescue workers waited. Science & Technology: General & Referenceīook Title: Flight 232: Story Of Survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() The language is very expressive, and the narrative is deliciously creepy the sleeping retinue move around like zombies, the thorny bushes grow around the skeletons of unsuccessful rescuers, menace and decay is everywhere. The narrative touches on themes of gender, power, beauty, ageing and death. This is no Disney-style fantasy for the very young, but instead akin to some of the original, more gruesome tales in the genre, but there is much to engage and thrill the older child. Gaiman encourages you to believe that, just like the Snow White, herself once condemned to a year’s unconsciousness, she would be the ideal person to save the day - but not everything is as it appears. Her upcoming wedding, with some relief, is put on hold. ![]() When three dwarves inform her of a cursed kingdom where a princess and her people have lied asleep for decades, the queen decides to take up the challenge to save them, even though many have failed before her. An extremely dark and gothic fairy tale, it features the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but given a very modern and feminist twist.Ī queen prepares unenthusiastically for marriage and a future that is mapped out for her. When prize-winning author Neil Gaiman collaborates with the equally award-laden former children’s laureate and illustrator Chris Riddell, you can guarantee the result will be something unique and special, and this book is no exception. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The Flea": A flea has bitten both lovers, and now the flea marks their union because it has both of their blood. It is in his later poetry that Donne most often fuses the two into a seemingly paradoxical combination of physical and spiritual that gives light to our understanding of both. Donne is ever concerned with matters of the heart, be they between a man and a woman or between a man and his Creator. Instead, it is only the emphasis of subject matter that changes. There is no sharp division of style or poetic ability between the two phases of Donne's literary career. While many of his later poems are certainly more in the metaphysical vein that Donne has become famous for, it is nonetheless a matter of little debate that his work has a certain continuity. He often begins with a seemingly carnal image only to turn it into an argument for the supremacy of God and the immortality of the soul.ĭonne's poetry falls most simply into two categories: those works composed and published prior to his entering the ministry, and those which follow his taking up the call to serve God. While a master of metaphysical expression, Donne achieves this mastery by refusing to deny the place of the physical world and its passions. ![]() Donne is firmly within the camp of metaphysical poets-those poets for whom considerations of the spiritual world were paramount compared to all earthly considerations. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Only Suspect – Signed Copy Louise Candlish £14.August Blue – Signed Copy Deborah Levy £18.99 Add to basket.The Pepperpot Diaries: Stories From My Caribbean Table – Signed Copy Andi Oliver £27.00 Add to basket.If you would like us to release parts of your order sooner, please contact us to arrange an additional postage and packaging payment. ![]() If your order contains a combination of in stock and pre-order, not yet published titles, we will usually hold the order and dispatch when all titles are in stock. 211 works Add another Sorted by: Most Editions First Published Most Recent Random Showing all works by author.

These days candlesticks are so commonplace that the idea of selling traders on their utility seems kind of unnecessary, but then again this book probably helped to their new massive acceptance. The most valuable thing about these colorful names is it kind of helps explain or give a metaphor to what could be happening on a particular candle/bar or group of candles/bars. I don't know what this book was like when it was first written, I can't imagine that it was really all that mind blowing, except that it maybe gave Western traders very colorful names for different types of price action. Nobody who really makes money in the market uses this stuff, and I know what I'm talking about." My favorite review I saw of this book was nice and short, "A worthless piece of crap. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The phenomenal Andrews follows up Sapphire Flames with another satisfying entry in this popular series. ![]() New readers will have no trouble jumping in with this installment and series fans will not be disappointed." - Publishers Weekly for Emerald Blaze "Andrews’ whirlwind fifth Hidden Legacy romance opens with a bang and maintains a breakneck pace, dealing in magic that rouses and entertains.
