Excerpt: Sir Walter Raleigh (c. 1552 29 October 1618) was an English aristocrat, writer, poet, soldier, courtier, and explorer who is also largely known for popularising tobacco in England. Raleigh was born to a Protestant family in Devon, the son of Walter Raleigh and Catherine Champernowne. Little is known for certain of his early life, though he spent some time in Ireland, in Killua Castle, Clonmellon, County Westmeath, taking part in the suppression of rebellions and participating in two infamous massacres at Rathlin Island and Smerwick. Later he became a landlord of properties confiscated from the Irish. He rose rapidly in Queen Elizabeth I's favour, being knighted in 1585. He was involved in the early English colonization of Virginia under a royal patent. In 1591 he secretly married Elizabeth Throckmorton, one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting, without the Queen's permission, for which he and his wife were sent to the Tower of London. After his release, they retired to his estate at Sherborne, Dorset. In 1594 Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in South America and sailed to find it, publishing an exaggerated account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of "El Dorado". After Queen Elizabeth died in 1603, Raleigh was again imprisoned in the Tower, this time for allegedly being involved in the Main Plot against King James I, who was not favourably disposed toward him. In 1616, however, he was released in order to conduct a second expedition in search of El Dorado. This was unsuccessful an...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=33703 ... Read more

Plant Bio Book Review
The book is in good shape. Just don't trust on standard shipping; it took more than three weeks for the book to get here. I chose expedited for the other books I bought and they arrived on time.

Great seller.
The savings I get on this book saved my life!...financially at least. The description was accurate and the ship time was good.

Very good but also accessible
Well written - a very clear and good account of plant biology and the various concepts involved.Very good illustrations.I'm pleased to say that the chemistry aspect of plant biology is not as overwhelming (or as heavily emphasized) as it can be in some books, that are of a comparable educational level. ...

should have been so much better
Incredibly poorly put together. It's Klobuchar's newspaper writing style mixed with linebacker Jeff Siemon's journal of the 1976 season.I never really got a feel for any of the athletes at all and Klobuchar's analysis of why the Vikes can't win the big one was just plain juvenile. Basically, how does this guy have a job at a newspaper as he does not write compelling text at all? ... Read more

Overall, Fantastic!
This CD set really covers a broad spectrum of strategies to improve the quality of your life and those around you.Nearly all of the CDs and their messages were relevant to my life.In actually practicing their messages, I found an immediate and satifying improvement in my outlook on life as well as in interpersonal relations.(and I generally dislike...ok, HATE self help type books and audio CDs).The speakers are all good, and many are excellent.

It's all common sense, but having it re-iterated and put together was more than helpful.

Although this was a gift, I would gladly spend $50 on it knowing what I know about it now.It would make a great gift, too.

Winning Strategies - Audio Success
What a great value!I'd be hard pressed to find so many big name speakers leaders all in one place.The John Maxwell CD is a great CD on winning, as is the Dr. Cook CD about his experience coaching PGA touring professionals.

Thorough... and diverse:
Wow!Quite eclectic in its collection of authors.Though most won't agree with every one of the authors, everyone will find something in this collection.It is great for getting motivated and helping strategically plan the "next step" towards your success.Great stuff! ... Read more
