Review All My Men on Wall Street: A Maine girl's story of Manhattan's Glitz and Grind / AuthorHouse:ALL MY MEN ON WALL STREET: A Maine Girl's Story of Manhattan's Glitz and Grind is a true story depicting the heyday era of late-nineties Wall Street and the glory that went with it. Fenton's men - her lovers, confidants, clients, bosses, subordinates, tyrants and victims - comprise this colorful, thought-provoking and always entertaining tale. Fenton's account of working hard, playing hard and falling hard is a tale of limousines, yachts, fat bonus checks, glitz and glamour, tuxedos and ball gowns, corporate jets, joy rides through Rio, spilt champagne, innocence lost, deadlines, yelling, all-nighters, and ulcers. Dazzled by Manhattan's parties, the prestige of her new Wall Street career, and visions of streets paved with gold, Fenton is blind to the more dubious aspects of her job. In the splendor of her success, Fenton grows savvy and confident - a little too confident. She becomes smug and self-absorbed, traits she previously despised. Fenton soon attempts to escape her 'perfect' world through alcohol and trysts with nameless gents. Vomiting alone in her fancy Wall Street office, she reluctantly comes to realize that her have-it-all life is fundamentally lacking. She is given one last chance to make things right.

Review Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant / IndyPublish.com:Part One Of Two Parts During the last year of his life, when he was dying of cancer, Grant recalled his Ohio boyhood, his West Point years and the grim military campaign in Mexico that ended in military victory but which Grant thought was politically shameful. Grant resigned from the army and returned to civilian life. But then came the rebellion that split the Union and recast Grant's fortune: he proved to be a general who could win. What it takes for victory, we learn from these pages, is an amalgam of qualities, among them unconscious physical courage, foresight, iron-willed determination, the vigorous exercise of command. Among biographies of generals and statesmen, PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF U. S. GRANT rank with the greatest.

Review Hungry Ocean, The / Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed:In his number-one bestseller, The Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger describes Linda Greenlaw as "one of the best sea captains, period, on the East Coast. " Now Greenlaw tells her own riveting story of a thirty-day swordfishing voyage aboard one of the best-outfitted boats on the East Coast, complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. The excitement starts immediately, even before Greenlaw and her five-man crew leave the dock - and it doesn't stop until the last page. Under way, she must cope with nasty weather, equipment failure, and treachery aboard ship, not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat. Displaying a true fisherman's gift for storytelling and a true writer's flair for both drama and reflection, Greenlaw offers an exciting real-life adventure tale filled with the beauty and power of the sea.

I have now finished the book; my gestalt is coming into completion. Throughout the months that I have been writing this, I have, indeed, been intrinsically motivated. Now that it is finished I feel quite competent and self-determining (see Chapter 2). Whether or not those who read the book will perceive me that way is also a concern of mine (an extrinsic one), but it is a wholly separate issue from the intrinsic rewards I have been experiencing.

Review Dakota Cowboy: My Life in the Old Days / University of Nebraska Press:"I've known about Ike Blasingame all my life, knew many of his fellow punchers, white and Indian. Ike was certainly a salty representative of the Texas bronc twister when he came North with that most romantic of cow outfits, the British-owned Matador. [He] takes the reader across the treacherous Missouri River as the spring-softened ice goes out under the horses' feet, into the still wild cow towns, through the round-ups, the prairie fires. There is the authentic smell and feel of the Northern cow country of fifty years ago in the story Ike Blasingame tells. " - Mari Sandoz. "Here is one of the most gripping Western tales since Andy Adams' "The Log of a Cowboy" was published in 1903. [+]The telling is considerably like Adams' - warm, human, flavorful. The author, a one-time Matador ranch cowboy,. lived his story, and he tells it straight in the language of the cow country without contrivance. " - "New York Times". "Many of the cowboys who have written about their experiences never really looked at any wider segment of the cattle business than was visible between their horses' ears, but Ike Blasingame did. He paints a big picture without omitting details. " - "New York Herald-Tribune".
