![]() ![]() ![]() I cannot attend a wedding, conference, or party again without thinking of the elements of gathering that Parker presents. ![]() I love books that cause me to think of ordinary things in new ways. Generally Applicable: The concepts in this book can be applied to any type of gathering, but I think they offer a great deal of insight for professionals. While Martha Stewart might focus on food presentation, place cards, and centerpieces, Parker’s focus is on the experience of her guests…their comfort, enjoyment, connection, and satisfaction. What I loved: The concept I love most about the book is Parker’s emphasis on PEOPLE not THINGS. She goes into detail about the specific purpose of a gathering and the overall organization.

Isaac Asimov was born on 2 January 1920 in Petrovichy near Smolensk, in Russian SFSR. “I began as a science fiction writer, and for the first eleven years of my literary career I wrote nothing but science fiction stories” But this was just one of his numerous works, since the author wrote or edited over 500 books and about 90000 letters during his lifetime. These Three Laws of Robotics, which Asimov‘s robots of the science fiction world he created were supposed to obey, were established while writing his short story ‘ Runaround‘, which was published in 1942.

The anxiety Lily suffers from is palpable, and although she has a therapist, there is little on page about her therapy, thank goodness. I normally like to get into both leads heads, but the author did such a good job of bringing Hope to life, this story lacked for nothing. This story is told in first person and completely from Lily’s point-of-view, which worked extremely well in this instance.

Left untold that night, and ignored in books and films for more than half a century, was a story not so politically correct but vastly more complex and dramatic. In song, film, and live performances by stars such as Billy Crystal, Kevin Spacey, and John Lithgow, the audience relived a time some fifty years before, when, as the story has always been told, courageous writers and actors stood firm against a witch-hunt and blacklist that wrecked lives and destroyed careers. In the fall of 1997 some of the biggest names in show business filled the Motion Picture Academy theater in Beverly Hills for "Hollywood Remembers the Blacklist," a lavish production worthy of an Oscar telecast. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the Back Cover In the first half of the 19th century, only a small handful of Westerners had ventured into the regions watered by the Nile River on its long journey from Lake Tana in Abyssinia to the Mediterranean - lands that had been forgotten since Roman times, or had never been known at all. ![]() In The Blue Nile, Alan Moorehead continues the classic, thrilling narration of adventure he began in The White Nile, depicting this exotic place through the lives of four explorers so daring they can be considered among the worlds original adventurers - each acting and reacting in separate expeditions against a bewildering background of slavery and massacre, political upheaval and all-out war.
