Ford Reviews

I took a recent trip to Vegas and decided to try my hand at gambling. My fiance' and I took a free lesson on craps at the casino we were staying at. We immediately started playing and absolutely loved it...we won too. (Beginners luck perhaps) Upon coming home I really wanted to learn more about the game so I researched many books trying to find one with the interests I had. I came across this book and found great reviews so I bought it. I read it easily in one day and it had a lot of valuable information. I have now been testing the strategy online and on WinCraps 4.7...I must say so far so good. After about 25+ simulated games I have came out ahead. The strategy works although it is not for the faint of heart or very conservative player. My fiance' is reading Patrick's Advanced Craps book and it is at the opposite end of the spectrum, for the very conservative player. I recommend Power Craps if you want to win money, you have the discipline, and have the bankroll. Good luck!

In the same genre of Dr. Robert Schuller and Dr. Wayne Dyer books, Henry Ford's THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION shows us through his own story and the example of others that "no man (or woman) is an island." In order to achieve success we must constantly surround ourselves with positive people, and tap into the spiritual and intellectual resources second nature to those who manifest and attain their dreams.

THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION emphasizes mentoring, family unity, and the importance of volunteerism. Mr. Ford points out that people who volunteer are not in competition. They are aligned to give of their time and talents to achieve a common goal--along the route they naturally pickup new ideas and skills from motivated, like-minded individuals.

Mr. Ford also stresses the need to practice public speaking whenever, wherever possible because presentation affects success. He says no one wakes up with a Ph.D. in public speaking. Leaders from all walks of life have learned the power of speaking comfortably before a crowd, and it takes practice, practice, and more practice.

THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION is Mr. Ford's second book in what will hopefully become a series of "how to succeed" manuals.

As a recent graduate of Computer Engineering, I wish I had this book when I started my programming career. It is very helpful in showing you how to get started debugging.

Aaron Lobel has put together a masterful and enduring volume that is dedicated to revealing the enigma of Presidential Judgement in formulating Foreign Policy.

From Ted Sorenson's revealing account of how President Kennedy used his Sense of History, Priorities, and Responsibility to determine the best course during the Cuban Missile Crisis TO Brent Scowcroft's candid representation of President Bush holding together the fragile alliance in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield & Storm --- this is a masterpiece.

This is an excellent resource for middle school teachers who are looking for some good hands on activities and lessons in Geology. Most of the activities are easly reproduced at a minimal cost. The book contains both student and teacher pages. The content of the lessons are excellent and up to speed with current information.

All the important changes. Lots of stuff can be replicated hands-on.

Great book.

This book provides excellent insight into the reasons some gifted Black students are not identified as such by the processes currently in place. It also provides reasons some Black parents may not wish their child to be included in gifted programs. It discusses Black culture and Black dialect. A very good book for educators who are concerned about minorities being underrepresented in our school's gifted programs.

Memoirs may often cure insomnia, but not this hefty chunk of history. Travel back in time with John Salmon "Rip" Ford. Saddle the horses and hitch up your britches, you'll be heading out to the Texas of a newly independent republic. Ride from the Red to the Rio Grande and beyond with the doctor, lawyer, surveyor, journalist, trailblazer, legislator, and celebrated soldier of numerous wars.

Ford takes the reader from the earliest days of the republic to statehood, secession, and on into reconstruction. Meet the intrepid Texas Ranger Jack Hays. Ride from Matamoros to Mexico City with the "Los Diablos Tejanos." Trailblaze a trade route from San Antonio to El Paso with the Ford-Neighbors expedition.

Brilliantly edited by Stephen B. Oates, this personal narrative of a time, place, and adventure, all larger than life itself, is a must read for all who are interested in Texas and its history.
