Not for adults.......2001-03-24
I was trying to locate something helpful for use in a more business-like setting and made a mistake with this one. Seems like this book is for activities aimed at kids 12 and under (though most of the photos show adults doing some of this sutff). This would NOT go over well with the adults I work with and I can't even imagine it outside of work. One activity is called "Basic Killer"---real nice with the increase in violence lately. Also, though some of the activities are indoors, it seemed that the vast majority were handled outdoors. Then there are the props...anyone have a spare parachute? I was disappointed and am returning it.
Must Have Silver Bullets.......2001-01-04
This book should be in every person's bag! Any time i cannot think of an activity i pull out silver bullets. Activities are great for children age 5 all the way to adult groups too! This and Quicksilver are my favorites - i will leave it at that.
Outstanding activity source book for youth workers........1999-01-01
Lists numerous activities for youth. It clearly describes the activity and states the "purpose" of the activity. List of equipment needed are included. I have used the book extensively in setting up obstacle courses for bootcamps I conduct for youth teams going on short term mission trips. Great for team building. Many pictures.
This book has been very helpful in a multitude of situations.......1998-12-13
Silver Bullets has been a lifesaver in some cases for us and in others has enabled us to put some great programs together for Boy Scout Troops and Explorer Scouts. I have also used some of its activities in a classroom setting. We currently do not know where our one and only copy is, so we are anxious to get another.
Excellent source for group activities to break down barriers.......1996-09-06
Regardless of what age group of people you are working with, if you need a way to break down barriers between participants, this is the book for you. There are games, actions that involve trust, problems that involve reasoning and intiative thinking, and problem solving activities as well. The activities described in this book can be used with large or small groups, from youth groups to upper management teams. After participating in several of the activities, there will be new levels of trust and friendship developed and less friction in the organization.
The Author, Karl Rohnke has done an excellent job of bringing together under one book many activities to promote co-operation and creativity among the participants. You can even adapt the games to a family level to increase harmony in the home. Silver
Bullets provides a way to express the positive qualities of interaction among people to increase the human spirit of warmth and kindness. Be Thankful that there are people like Karl Rohnke who have the vision to put into words and pictures their ideas and creativity to build better relationships.

The original story with the original script........2000-05-13
This edition of King's short novel "Cycle of the Werewolf" not only features the original version (with Bernie Wrightson's excellent illustrations) but also the original shooting script for the film adaptation from Dino DeLaurentis, entitled Silver Bullet. This was King's final shooting script and it differs from the release print of the film somewhat (the werewolf sings a beer commercial jingle after the first attack, etc.). This edition offers an interesting look at Stephen King's incredibly diverse talents.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Finally...much needed MCAT assistance.......2003-03-06
This book is great. It has all of the explanations to the MCAT exams administered by AAMC. It makes no sense to know the right answer without knowing why it is the right answer. This is a great supplement to your MCAT materials.
Great Review, Lots of Orgo Details.......2003-01-23
The writing style is like a tutor teaching. No one should write the MCAT without first doing the exams/problems from the AAMC. As far as I know, the silver bullet is the only book that reviews the AAMC Practice Items and the first 2 tests. You still need to buy the AAMC`s stuff but the silver bullet is an excellent compliment.
explanations pedestrian, but at least available.......2002-10-10
silver bullet offers solutions for the lowest common denominator. very basic explanations, often verbose yet incomplete. the extraneous practice questions are not very challenging. this book should *only* be used as an appendage to the more substantial princeton/kaplan reviews. i suggest you buy this book only if you are in dire need of solutions for aamc tests 1 or 2.
Recommended by professional admissions consultants.......2002-07-27
If you want to ace the real MCAT, you must write previous real exams under real test conditions. This book contains explanations to the answers of the MCAT Practice Tests that are released by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The answers to Practice Tests I, II, and III, as well as the answers to all Practice Items are explained in detail. This text also includes a full-length simulated MCAT exam along with answers and explanations, equation lists to memorize for the exam, and an organic chemistry summary. We highly recommend that you use this book along with the AAMC's prior exam questions book.
The Silver Bullet: Real MCATs Explained.......2000-03-08
I've been getting ready for the August MCAT with all the AAMC's booklets getting frustrated with mistakes that I couldn't work out. I bought this book by fluke and now it's my best friend! It has clear explanations to some subjects that i never clearly understood. Less stress for sure.

Project Management Analysis.......2007-06-11
I've read a previous printing of this book from 1997 or around then...I found this book to be very helpful in assessing and analyzing the parts of the project and making sure I don't run into the pitfalls of each phase. It was a great followup for me after Steve McConnell's book on project surivial. After reading this book, I was able to drill down in more detail each portion of a project before I was undertaking it to make sure I handled the project in the right ways.
Effective techniques and easy reading.......2002-06-19
I've read more than 50 books on project management, and have reviewed a good number of them, but this is the first one that was fun to read. The author manages to keep the tone light and conversational, yet touch all of the important aspects of successfully managing software projects. While I am one of those die hards who doesn't believe in silver bullets--those elusive shortcuts to accomplishing complex tasks--any more than I believe in the tooth fairy, I think that the approach in this book comes close.
Although the tone is light, the techniques are solid. I like the way the author strips away non-essential tasks and focuses on what is essential to successfully managing a project. He starts with visualizing the goal, which is an exercising in defining project objectives, and introduces a key concept that will be used through the book: Probability of Success Indicator (PSI). These indicators are checkpoints for ensuring that all critical success factors are satisfied and are closely tied to risk management. I especially like the common sense way projects are approached - develop a checklist, emphasize leadership and teamwork, carefully plan and manage expectations and communicate. These are the essence of project management, regardless of whether you are using the U.S. standard set forth in the PMBOK or the UK PRINCE2 approach. In fact, all of the techniques, including the 10-step methodology given in the book, will work with both the PMBOK and PRINCE2 approaches.
Chapters I especially liked covered assessing project plans, issue resolution and how to shorten projects using accelerated analysis and design. I found some of the appendices valuable as well, especially Appendix 1 (ISO 9000 Estimating Procedure) and Appendix 2 (Structured Project Management, which summarizes the 10-step approach. If you use MS Project (which I do not), Appendix 6, Learning Microsoft Project 2000, may be useful.
The only shortcoming is the lack of earned value as a project control tool, but for small projects this isn't a major issue. Overall this is an excellent book for new project managers for software development projects and it is also full of tips and techniques that an experienced project manager will appreciate.
Product Description
The Silver Bullet High Yield MCAT Audio MP3 on CD is designed to increase study efficiency. This CD was not prepared to be used as a source to take notes from, since everything is already contained in The Gold Standard MCAT text and videos. This 4 hour MP3 is a source of review for major points in the 4 MCAT sciences and is best used for repetition (i.e. in an iPod or car stereo on the way to school, etc.) Many students have had the experience of hearing a song first thing in the morning and then having a difficult time forgetting it during the day. Now you can get ahead in your MCAT preparation by letting "PV=nRT" be the "song" which wakes you every morning!

this cd does not work on the car stereo. the mp3 files are grouped into separate folders so you need to copy each one and burn them onto an audio CD, which comes out to 4 discs.

Dangerous and Irresponsible..........2007-02-04
Colloidal silver is a poisonous substance that has been deemed dangerous and unsafe for medical use by the Food and Drug Administration and numerous other agencies.
This book is not only ridiculous, it is dangerous. In addition to the severe health risks to those taking colloidal silver, Farber is spreading misinformation that could lead to increases in unsafe sexual and other behaviors that put people at serious risk.
Please note that the only accolades for this book come from his brother, and desperate, misguided people who are in need of real medical assistance. Turning your skin grey is only the beginning of the troubles these individuals will suffer if they follow the advice in this poorly written, error-prone book.
My internist and my neurologist encourage me to continue .......2005-06-01
Reading Paul Farber's book The Micro Silver Bullet and my subsequent correspondence with Arnie Farber have contributed considerably to my gaining control over my chronic borreliosis (Lyme disease) by means of colloidal silver.
The scientific explanation of the effect of colloidal silver is clear. There are many sensitive reasons why this effect has not yet been scientifically demonstrated. In spite of this I decided to start treatment with colloidal silver after a year of taking antibiotics had had no effect. From the moment I started taking colloidal silver I have been steadily gaining control over the borrelia bacterium. I have never again felt as ill as I did immediately after completing the treatment with antibiotics. My health has gradually improved and my strength is increasing. My internist and my neurologist encourage me to continue treatment with colloidal silver. I have now been taking it for two years. The quality of my life is high. I owe a great deal to Paul Farber's crusade against Lyme disease and to the care of his brother Arnie.
Dr. Farber was right!.......2002-07-20
I owe my good health today to MSP. In 1994 I became ill with what I thought was the flu, turned out to be Lyme disease. It never got better. I lost my ability to work, I was a court reporter, because I never knew how I would feel from one day to the next. I slept 15 to 20 hours a day, fevers, joints became so painful I had to use a cane. This lasted for a year. Took antibiotics but then felt even worse, because of the Candidiasis. Someone gave me an 800 number for MSP. I had nothing to lose. I figured I would end up in a wheelchair. I ordered a bottle, and the book. I was not too impressed with the book, I must say. It wandered a bit. Before I started the MSP, I insisted on speaking with Dr. Farber. He called me and described my symptoms and exactly what I could expect. Within in four days I noticed a difference. My fever broke. I did not need to sleep all day. Within two weeks I was able to walk without problems. I was off antibiotics. Within three months, I was able to lift weights, do everything I had before my illness. Dr. Farber saved my life. I was saddened to hear of his passing. If you have Lyme disease, you must try MSP. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I call it my miracle, and there are so few these days.
Truly a miracle substance.......2002-06-30
Suppose there was a substance that you could buy for a few dollars a pint, or make in your home for a few cents a gallon, that kills every known bacteria and virus ever discovered. Suppose that you and your family would never have to have a cold or flu again, or ever worry about more serious or fatal pathogens such as the AIDS, Ebola and Hanta viruses. Suppose this substance not only was completely non-toxic at any level, but also no pathogen could ever become resistant to it, unlike antibiotics. This substance exists, and is called colloidal silver.
What percentage of the world's economy is related in some way to health-care? What percentage of the health-care business is related to "treating" (not necessarily curing) viral and bacterial infections? What percentage of the drug companies business involves drugs that "treat" such infections? Since colloidal silver cannot be patented and is completely effective against viruses and bacteria, it represents an extreme threat to a significant portion of the world's economy. Any wonder very few people have ever heard of it? It is a documented fact that the medical establishment has attempted, so far unsuccessfully, to get colloidal silver banned. You would also expect there to be vicious attacks on this substance by the health care "powers that be". You can observe this for yourself by reading a couple of the reviews posted here. I note that one individual posting such a vicious attack on this book also has posted other such reviews regarding other works on colloidal silver. Gee, I wonder why? By the way, I personally consider anyone that deliberately attempts to suppress knowledge that would significantly ease pain, suffering and death in this world to be pure evil, and subject to unimaginable consequences for their souls. If these "skeptics" were scientifically competent, they could go into a laboratory and observe under a microscope the effect of colloidal silver on any pathogen they choose to test.
Is this book perfect? Nope. However, the value of any work that documents the effectiveness of this miracle substance cannot be measured. The author discusses his own cure from the results of advanced Lyme disease that resulted in his paralysis from the chest down. After all "establishment" treatment failed, colloidal silver cured him completely.
I have personally done research on colloidal silver for years, and can attest to its miraculous qualities. I have not had a cold or flu since I started using CS (when symptoms start appearing, gargle with CS and use it as a nasal spray until all symptoms quickly disappear). I also was able to eliminate warts I had had for twenty years that no "establishment" treatment was successful against. It is the real deal.
Any value lost in welter of off-topic nonsense.......2002-02-26
I would have rated this book with no stars if it were at all possible. If there is any value in this book, it is OVERWHELMED by the huge amount of completely off-topic filler that seems to take up the GREAT majority of this book. The reader is dragged endlessly through discussions of the author's religous beliefs, (having no bearing on the topic) trite feel-good sayings, (again, having nothing to do with the subject) pictures of endless friends, acquitances, and "associates", (again having nothing...) strange leaps of faith that are to substitute for science in his statements on how silver colloids work, and other frustrating side trips. ...
It is unfortunate that what content which MIGHT have had some validity (instead, see Robert O. Becker's "The Body Electric" and "Cross Currents" for an excellent discussion of some of the uses of silver colloids in medicine - such as healing of bone infections, etc., and Ronald J. Gibbs "Silver Colloids, Do They Work" for a reasoned and easy to understand discussion) is so completely lost in this wreck of a book. (Not to mention that it is simply hard to read because of confusing page numbering, bad indexing, frequently changing typeface, etc.)
My remaining concern is that this author, presenting himself to be widely educated in his field, cites his multiple degrees. Unfortunately, four of these degrees come from the "Clayton College of Health, Birmingham, AL", a well known "degree mill" without any valid, recognized accreditation of any sort. (See John Bear and Mariah Bear's "Bear's Guide to Earning Degrees by Distance Learning" or check into the website (...) You will find that Clayton College's accreditation comes from two bogus accreditors, one, an individual who is a graduate of Clayton, the other a health food store. NO Clayton naturopath graduates are licensed to practice in any state where it is legal for naturopaths to practice, and there are no correctly accredited colleges who would accept credits or a degree from Clayton for transfer to their school. Employers with adequate resources to check on the validity of a degree would not accept a Clayton degree either. In addition to his four degrees from Clayton, his chiropractic degree is from Cleveland College of Chiropractic which is a college with an at best questionable history. Cleveland College has been sued successfully on at least two occasions by current and former students for its inadequacy in teaching necessary subjects and its failure to provide clinical practice sessions for the students to learn hands on chiropratic by practicing on real patients. As a result of this failure on Cleveland's part its' graduate's rate of passing of state licensing exams is poor - proof of their inadequate preparation by the college - which again casts strong doubt on another one of Paul Farber's degrees.
Becase of these questionable degrees, the fact that the author claims himself to be an expert based on these degrees, and the other problems with this book, I have to say that your money and time are much better spent elsewhere.

If only Oracle was a werewolf.......2007-09-06
Who needs to understand the underlying mechanics of the system when you can just keep trying "solutions" until one works? If you like tinkering with production Oracle databases with no fear of consequences, by all means, have at it!
THE BEST, No wasted effort.......2006-09-25
All,
I have several hundred Oracle books, and have worked with Oracle for sixteen years. This book is beyond words, it is accurate, and most of all it is concise. Finally someone understands that you do not need to write a book over 800 pages for people to read it.
The real world examples, problem identification and remediation techniques are the best I have ever seen. I will buy Burleson/RAMPANT from now on.
Cuts to the chase.......2005-11-26
This is a practical book and gives examples on how to tune your database when you can't touch the code. I found it to be well written and easy to understand with illustration on how silver bullets can save the day. I discovered that my optimizer settings were wrong and a fast change made a huge difference in my system. This is a book where a single tip makes it worth double the price.
Handy book to have on your desk.......2005-09-27
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to get quick tuning results. It was easy to understand and got right to the point. It's nice to learn the methods for tuning without so much theory.
Oracle Silver Bullets is an appropriate title for this book!.......2005-08-31
This book is filled with practical suggestions for Oracle database tuning. It helped me enhance the execution speed of my company's system and I highly recommend it!
