Bear's Guide to Non-Traditional College Degrees (Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I gave it 5 stars to counteract the low review. Keep in mind this edition was printed in 1985! Even so, I still thought it had some useful info. If you're trying to find out if someone has a diploma from a diploma mill, this isn't a bad book to own, just for that. It lists a lot of mills that have been forgotten about. The 9th edition lists slightly different information about schools than the the 8th edition. I think in some ways the eighth was better.
Many people who own diploma mills hate the author, because he exposes them for frauds. In the eighth edition, he had a rating system of schools with a "happy face" that went from a smiley to a "yuck face", depending on how he liked the school. He dropped the rating system with this edition, and the ratings overall seem less critical. He also dropped the addresses of diploma mills, which he said were not needed.
There are a handful of schools still around mentioned in the book, and with the internet you could check them out. Since it's currently selling for 38 cents, just go ahead and get a copy.

DEGREES OF SEPARATION, Book 1 of the Falcon's Bend Series Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Degrees of Separation is the 1st book in The Falcon Bend Series. The setting is a small town of Falcon Bend, Wisconsin.The authors, Kren Wiesner and Christ Spindler combine just the right touch of suspense and intrigue to keep the reader eagerly turning the pages. I blamed Wiesner and Spindler for the unwashed dishes and laundry. I spent the day reading Degrees of Separation, I could not put it down. Pete Shasta and Danny Vincent are investigating the death of a dancer/stripper. The characters are colorful and interesting. The plot flows smoothly, the characters work well together making this the perfect whodunit.

I've often wondered how two authors can work together to create a book. Perhaps someday Karen and Chris will share their secret with me.

Degree of Caution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sibyl Avery Jackson's debut novel, Degree of Caution, is full of excitement with many
twists. It has everything you look for in a suspense novel - intrigue, drama, and murder.

Monica Sinclair is a woman of many faces. Writer, sister, undercover FBI agent, and one face
she is having trouble relating to, daughter. Her brother, Michael, also works for the FBI,
and he has a case in which he knows Monica would be perfect. Bayou City Wireless is under
investigation for its connection with some questionable deaths. Michael wants Monica to go
in to unearth the connection. The hard part is convincing Monica she is perfect for the job.
After an unforeseen incident, Monica cannot say no. What she finds is more than she
expected - a fashion designer, love, a brother who brings a new meaning to `sibling jealousy',
and her father.

Degree of Caution is a great read if you are in the mood to uncover some deep dirt. I did
find it at one point predictable. However, it did not stop my heart from beating any faster
or less anxious to turn the pages to see how it all turned out. Although it says Sibyl is
working on another Monica Sinclair novel, the ending rather puts closure to many of the
main characters as if this was the final book. I, personally, would like to see more of
Monica. This is a great start for a new series.

(More customer reviews)Journey to the M.A. Degree
Reviewed by Journey To The M.A. DegreeValerie Temple (c)2011Ventura, CA. Author Charlotte M. Liebel, M.Ed., who returned to college after raising her family, has written a new book that will give students a first hand look into continuing education as an adult. It is a wise investment for those who want to take their education further and make the most out of it: "for competing in the workforce...in every desired career." As a student myself I wish I would have had this valuable information and, if it were up to me, this "hand book" would be made available in all college book stores!
This book is Ms. Liebel's effort to give back to society, explaining why it is possible for adults to continue their education. Journey to the M.A. Degree gives examples of class work to express how ideas develop and how everyone can learn with no exceptions ~ "If we have the desire, we can do anything. Give yourself permission to go to college."
Not only does this book give brief previews of essays and study guides for college courses it explains the importance of the need for higher education in the workforce.
Ms. Liebel was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a strong influence of the philosophy of Mark Twain. As a young woman she and a friend would walk the streets of the French Quarters dressed up in their Sunday finest watching the artistic painters. From the alley facing St.Louis Cathedral, they would continue their journey and then enjoy a cup of chicory coffee and binets at the Café Du Monde and literally soak up the culture for which New Orleans is famous.
Ms. Liebel is credited with many well received reviews including the movie, "Benjamin Button," and books of the The Orphan Train Trilogy. These and others can be read on her Wordpress websites found at Sharliebel's Blogs. Journey to the M.A. Degree is a book that will inspire and encourage returning as well as new students on their journey into the world of higher education. Xlibris is the publisher and it is available in paperback and ebook at all booksellers. ###
