Description
The Expedition of the Donner Party and Its Tragic FateGeorge and Tamsen Donner and their children, among the very first to leave from Illinois, joined emigrants headed to California in the spring of 1846. Beyond Fort Bridger, Captain Donner led a large party through a much advertised shortcut. Delays and difficulties caused them to be snowbound in the High Sierras, facing the grim specter of starvation and extreme suffering. Though only four years old at the time of the expedition, the captain's youngest
George and Tamsen Donner and their children, among the very first to leave from Illinois, joined emigrants headed to California in the spring of 1846. Beyond Fort Bridger, Captain Donner led a large party through a much-advertised shortcut. Delays and difficulties caused them to be snowbound in the High Sierras, facing the grim specter of starvation and extreme suffering. Though only four years old at the time of the expedition, the captain's youngest daughter, Eliza Donner, would never forget the excitement of crossing the prairies--or the horror of that winter. Details impressed on her young mind were later substantiated by the recollections of her older sisters and other survivors. Her book, originally published in 1911, is an intimate and authoritative account of the Donner disaster. George and Tamsen Donner and those who shared their fate are fully humanized in the telling. Eliza also relates what happened to her and a sister after being rescued and what it was like to grow up in a world that turned the Donners into a grisly legend.Binding Type: Paperback

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Format: Paperback
Upon reviewing Jack Canfield's 'The Success Principles'; I found it a worthy read.
To delve into stereotypes, it will mostly be read by young men. This means that the fundamental
weakness of young men needs to be talked about - which is sex.
Napoleon Hill devoted a whole chapter to 'Sex Magnetism' in his magnum opus
'Think And Grow Rich.' You should definitely read that book. Staying away from
sex for two or three months will definitely build force, and give you a
competitive edge.
Mr. Canfield's book is remarkable in it's breadth. You need first of all to be responsible
for the results you are getting in your life,surround yourself with good people,
chunk down your goals, take action, and learn from the feedback you are
getting.
The weakness in this book is all those people who have good intentions, who want to learn;
but who sabotage themselves; or at least at a subconscious level think they are unworthy
of reaching their goals.
For them I would suggest karma yoga and either Sufi practice or Christian mysticism.
The karma yoga will take you to a higher plane than your problems, whereas the
Christian mystical training or Sufi training will heal your heart, and stop you from
failing again and again.
You have a handbook in your hands which will solve many of your problems.
If you take action, see how life responds, and work and adapt.
Five stars!

Really enjoy the book and understanding
Format: Paperback
I can't speak for other people and their experience on the book. But installing MySQL wasn't a problem for me following the book instructions and the instructions from the actual Oracle site. Afterwards I relished each of the sessions of segments to learn. Creating tables and then pulling up specifics from that table to access. Or just running the whole table. I took notes for each of the sections as well. I do recommend saving not deleting the tables you do in the sections. So that way one can go back to those table and play around with it. I also recommend tweaking the data to your liking and change it up to be creatively fun. Learning is fun if U can squeeze it in to make it.

Not Good at ALL !!
Format: Paperback
This book on SQL is disappointing!
It is awful even at the beginning.
First of all, you must install MySQL to practice SQL!
The author barely skims over this important step!
Without properly installing My SQL, you cannot do the rest of the stuff in this book.
I am sorry, I tried and failed in following this book.
