About the Author
Kim Dower's first book of poems, Air Kissing on Mars, was described by poet Thomas Lux as "a rare and astonishing first book a kind of a miracle." The Los Angeles Times called it "sensual and evocative poems that traverse the chaos of everyday life with a light touch that can turn ironic and edgy show more without you even noticing it. Some are lyrical snapshots of life's bittersweet moments, while others seamlessly combine humor and heartache." Now, in her second collection, Slice of Moon, Kim Dower retain her whimsical style while reaching deeper, writing-of love, longing, motherhood, vulnerability, death-with the same humor and accessibility of her earlier work, but with greater lyrical intensity, irony, and poignancy. show less

Life Is a Series of Presentations: Eight Ways to Inspire, Inform, and Influence Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime by Tony Jeary
This book is bad enough to be annoying. It seems padded from a presentation to make a book. He does everything he counsels readers not to do in presenting -- his illustrations are limp, overlong, and irrelevant. He simply doesn't have much practical advice, and throws in everything he can think of that might possibly apply to making any kind of presentation. Not very helpful.
