Buy Low Price From Here Now
In the world of magazines, no recognition is more highly coveted than an "Ellie," the National Magazine Award presented by the American Society of Magazine Editors to the best of the American magazines. The Awards are the magazine equivalents to the Pulitzer Prizes of the newspaper industry. Each year, hundreds of editors-in-chief, journalism professors, and art directors winnow more than a thousand submissions to about seventy-five nominees in categories such as Reporting, Feature Writing, Profiles, Public Interest, Essays, Reviews and Criticism. Interest in the nominees is keen, and this collection will allow people both in the magazine world and beyond to find in one place, read, and admire the year's best. It is a wonderful, browsable volume of interest to writers and readers who appreciate magazine writing and journalism at its highest level.

No one could possibly take The New Yorker, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Esquire,The American Scholar, the Atlantic Monthly, GQ, Time, Gourmet, Harper's and Vanity Fair and read all the stories in them every month for a year. But what if the greatest experts, The American Society of Magazine Editors read 1,586 stories and picked just the best 17 of them for you to read. Even if you didn't think you'd like the subject, you will love reading each and every one of these. I'm using it for a seminar I'm giving -- one article and its author to discuss each week for 14 weeks. It's Terrific!!!

It's a long book, so I thought it would last. No such luck. The writing is simply amazing, across the board. Buy it, enjoy it.
By Baman Motivala (Stockholm)
For anyone who enjoys feature writing and investigative journalism this is an excellent read. I have made it through 9 of the 17 stories and have thoroughly enjoyed 8 of them. The topics are broad (John McCain, seal hunting in Greenland, a fat wine critic, campaign finance reform and many more.) The writing is so good that even topics that usually bore me (wine for one) became interesting.

No matter who you are, what your interests or where your political affiliations lie, if you enjoy reading good writing, you will enjoy this book. It represents some of the tightest, best researched and most insightful writing of a year's worth of magazine articles. The magazines in which the articles were originally published range from The Atlantic Monthly to Zoetrope: All-Story (did they include the ends of the alphabet for such a sentence as this?). The subjects, writing styles and tones of the stories smatter widely, but have in common one thing: they are stories worth your while. You could be forced to walk, sit and suffer with John McCain through his torturous 5-year imprisonment in a North Vietnamese p.o.w. camp, as well as with the cast of characters behind one week of McCain's presidential campaign tour. You could bask in the glory of Bob Parker, a burly, middle-aged Maryland guy whose freakishly acute sense of smell, coupled with his rigid integrity, led to his publication of The Wine Advocate and the author's well-founded claim that Parker may be "single-handedly changing the history of wine." The book is replete with the end product of authors whose diligence, sensitivity and dexterity with the English language have culminated in some rock-solid reading.

This is a terrible book. Like many other books about disipline, the philosophy in this book seems to be summed up in the following sentence:
"You (the parent) have more power then your child, so use this power to make the child stop whining."
According to this book, the way to carry out this power struggle out varies from situation to situation and uses tactics like time outs and rewards. Most of the solutions that I read in this book are really just power struggles.
I have personally found that using these power tactics like these make everyone upset (including me!). I might get my way in the short term, but my daughter isn't too happy about it and I don't feel good about the way I treated my daughter.
So, how do you stop whining? I would suggest reading either Gordon's book (Parent Effectiveness Training) or How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Faber and Mazlish (or better yet, read them both). These books present a way to solve your problems and, at the same time, treat your children like real human beings instead of pawns that you can exert your power over.
By
A quick and easy read (my wife and I read it together in one sitting) that outlines a painfully simple yet amazingly effective strategy for ending whining and tantrums. We had a two year old who was about to drive us both into therapy with constant tantrums, testing, and controlling behavior. Things got worse for about a week, but we stuck with it. He is now a totally different kid. Try it with your "high spirited" child.
By
I have two children ages 3 and 4 1/2. This book gives wonderful ideas for better ways of dealing with whiny communication. I found some relief in many parts of the book that empathize with those of us who are just plain tired of hearing ourselves scream day in and day out. This book should give other mothers a sense that they are not monsters for feeling angry, resentful or distant from their child when this whining behavior occurs. It gives us some much needed insight to reasons why the child may be whiny and positive ways to deal with it. My little guy is learning quickly that whining does not produce his desires, but that his "big boy" voice gets my attention and praise more easily. There is so much great advice in this book I may read it cover to cover again so I don't forget it all! A nice thing is, it doesn't cover just whining behavior or the preschool ages, there is great advice here to apply to grade schoolers as well. This is at least my fourth book this year on child behavior and it is excellent. Kudos to Child magazine for addressing this subject in such detail. Personally, this is the kind of material high school juniors and seniors should have the option to learn in a classroom setting to better prepare them for the most important job they may ever have: parenting.

This book presents a great way to learn and master the tricky skills that must become instinctive for any good mountain bike rider. It also has plenty of helpful advice on practically everything from how to find the right bike to how to bike through snow. The only drawback is it's age. It seems to be written before the time of the internet and decent rear shock designs.
By Stanley D. Wolfersberger (Ohio)
The book is a bit outdated by today's standards but still presents a few good tips aimed squarely at the beginner. An updated version with a greater emphasis on current trends (the plethora of clipless pedals and the proliferation of full-suspension rigs, as well as the concept of cyclocross) would probably help to advance the level of content just enough to entice beginners and those in the first year or two of their riding development.
By dorsalis
I wish there was a more helpful review from this website before I purchased the book, the only reason i am looking at the book on amazon right now is to check how much money i wasted. 10 dollars which is alright iwth me. i'll still read it, thru the course of the yeaer maybe.
honestly, this book cant be applied to me. It is written by a road biker gone mountain biking and maybe it will be more suitable for the same type of ppl. He starts off really dry and comparing everything to the feel and how its done in the flip side of road biking.
the book contains this ridiculous 3 month day by day guideline of how you should approach the mountain biking and the sectoin about choosing ur mountain bike and etc is just plain ambiguous and unhelpful.
i dont mean to bag on this book but after reading other books (like lee/lopez's mtb skills) i was blown away at literary style along with EXCELlent application to beginners and pros. and its downright fun to read. makes me not wanna go back to this purple book but i will after i finsih lee's.
i know this wasnt a helpful review either but please consider reading INSIDE the book before purchasing. i learned my lesson.
