Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Contrary to some recent remarks from an apparently aggrieved reader, I think Six Degrees is actually quite different from most books claiming to cover new and exciting scientific developments. Far from being self-aggrandizing, I found it's tone remarkably humble and generous to others. Watts, in fact,...

A Few Degrees from Hell: The 2003 Badwater Ultramarathon Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Rather than a single runner's detailed review of the Badwater Ultra this is an awesome compilation of the thoughts and experiences of many of the event's participants (w/ added input from some crew members). I began the book vaguely aware of the Badwater Ultra. Halfway through I was ready to join a crew....
The 360 Degree Leader Workbook: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is one of the best and most practical books that I've every read on leadership. It one of only a handful of books on leading up (your boss) and leading across (fellow employees). Most books are on leading down (those who report to the boss), but only a very small portion of any organization is in...
Degree of Guilt Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My first outing with Richard North Patterson, and still ranks as one of my favorite of the genre. Once you get into it, and I understand this great story isn't a locomotive with no brakes at the beginning...but BELIEVE ME, it DOES get there. Our characters are likeable, but not without their faults....

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This revised and slightly expanded version of two long sadly out-of-print books ("78 Degrees of Wisdom: Major Arcana" and "78 Degrees of Wisdom: Minor Arcana") is a welcome addition to any serious Tarot reader's library.Although I wouldn't normally recommend this book for the Tarot beginner, I'd recommend...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Edgar Award nominee for his first novel, Open & Shut, has penned another winner. Andy Carpenter, loveable lawyer (no, that's not an oxymoron,) is back and suffering from a severe case of "lawyer's block." When you've inherited $$$ million dollars, it takes away your incentive to represent any...
212: The Extra Degree Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My company provided us with this book in a recent training. Most of the trainings are boring and something memorable for only a short time. This book is not that. The simple metaphor used in the introduction, and the entire basis of the book is very meaningful and easy to see in action. Today I hear...

The 360 Degree Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have read and then reviewed most of Maxwell's previously published books which offer solid content, if not head-snapping revelations. For The 360º Leader, he has selected an important but neglected business subject: the middle manager who has far more responsibility than authority, who struggles to...
98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Excellent book on survival. I am glad someone finally divides "SURVIVAL" from "Wilderness Living Skills" I would venture to say that most people that provide bad reviews of this book are looking for texts in Wilderness Living Skills. There are other books for that. I use 98.6 for a text book in our Search...

Kanka Liquid W/applicator 0.33fl Oz Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have had canker sores all my life. I always got them on my gums or cheek which were painful but bearable without medicine. A few days ago I got one on my tongue for which is so much worse. Hard to talk and eat. First time I felt the need to buy over the counter pain medicine for it. I bought Zilactin-b...
