Outstanding refresher on how to focus in order to attain your highest goals!
Charles Garcia has a very special talent and ability to break things down that may seem daunting or impossible to most people.Reading his work on being able to reach higher and higher goals by simply researching and implementing small meaningful steps has provided me periodic refreshment and renewed enthusiasm in my recent career.My wife and I provide this book as a perfect gift at any milestone in life.Thank you Charlie!

Inspiring!!
This is a great book that gives you hope and inspires you to succeed in life. I loved it and shared it with all of my family and friends.

I liked it
I'm a pretty big fan of motivational books, because they seem to be exactly what I need at any particular moment. I actually found out about A Message From Garcia through an email spam. It was touted as "different." I'm not sure how different since many books of this genre are usually speaking the same message, just with different examples and perspectives. But, it was easy to read and kept me turning the page. I really liked the "how to" aspect of the book. After all, it isn't any good reading about other people's success if you don't know how to make your own.

A big "different" -- The book was augmented with a website called Success Compass which helps you set goals and then e-mails you a reminder at whatever frequency you wish, even several times a day. I guess the key to success is not allowing yourself to forget what you want, and the Success Compass website doesn't let you forget. I liked it and I think you'll like it too.

Makes You Think
Gave me a new train of thought about money. Helps you to "see" how you actually view money, plus a lot of other insightful information. I liked it, it's that simple.

Insightful!
The recipe for success isn't so tough to figure out, writes financial entrepreneur Charles Patrick Garcia. Start with a heaping helping of passion, then mix in equal parts hard work, integrity, belief and positive attitude. The quality of the final dish resides in the details, of course, so the former military intelligence officer outlines the actions you must take to succeed and the mindset you need to adopt. Garcia's easily digested writing style, peppered with plenty of real-world examples from the military, politics and business, makes this motivational book a rewarding repast. We suggests Garcia's success manual to managers looking for a refresher course in staying focused, inspired and on task. ... Read more

Great Audio for Hispanics
Review in Criticas Magazine

Identified by Hispanic Business magazine as one of the "100 most influential Hispanics in the United States," García is not only a decorated military officer and successful businessman, but also a best selling writer. Published simultaneously in English and Spanish in 2003, this guide to achieving success in life became an instant New York Times best seller. Unlike the majority of the translated self-help guides available, this one offers advice and examples that speak directly to Hispanics. García shares the secrets of success that made his company one of the nation's top 10 fastest growing Hispanic-owned businesses. His strategies are aimed at those who have found a true vocation or passion. García illustrates his message with inspiring examples, such as a Bolivian teacher who immigrated to the States and is now dedicated to helping troubled inner-city students succeed. Duarte's narration in neutral Spanish stands out for his excellent pacing and engaging tone, which will give listeners the impression that they are attending one of García's seminars. Strongly recommended for bookstores and public libraries interested in self-help material that speaks to a Hispanic audience. -By María Ospina, Harvard Univ., Cambridge, MA ... Read more

Busiek's goodbye.
"Avengers Assemble" volume 5 sees the titanic run of writer/comic historian/"Avengers" fanboy Kurt Busiek come to what i feel is an absolutely dynamite close!

fans of the "Avengers Forever" limited series (my favorite superhero comic of all time) will be oh-so-happy to learn that Kang is back, and back for the throw-down to end all in the form of a whopping 15-part mega-arc which depicts "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" mightiest ever battle with (for my dime) the most drastically underrated villain in all of comics.

if you enjoyed Busiek's magnificent resurrection of Ultron all the way back in vol. 2, prepare to lovingly sink your teeth into this return as well, for "The Kang Dynasty" (or "Kang War". whichever you prefer, really) is every bit as good (and possibly even superior) to "Ultron Unlimited". believe it or not, it really is that good.

i hate the idea of note-for-noting this work to death, so i will close now so as to save you the worry of "spoilers". if, for some reason, you haven't quite completed your Busiek "Avengers" collection and are waiting for a thumb's-up on vol. 5, please consider this it.

if you have never read a single word of Busiek's "Avengers", well, if you wanna start at vol. 1, i understand, but i'll tell you what: since vol. 2 is out of print...

(can't wait for the 2012 "Avengers" movie, so everything can be re-printed.) : )

...for a straight-up, awesome, "Avengers"-sized epic, nab a copy of vol. 5 and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! yes, there are several series-spanning arcs that conclude here, and while i find coming in halfway-through to be a bit jarring, this will not derail the fun of this read in any way.

again friends, enjoy!

* "Avengers Assemble" book 5 collects "The Avengers" volume 3 (1997), nos. 41-56 + "Avengers Annual 2001".

Very Good
Though it's very long and in some parts poorly drawn, this compilation showing Kang's final stand is very well written. You find romance, laughing, thrilling, drama and a lot of action in it. And a lot of inactive avengers take part of the story as well, for the delight of fans who can see againStingray, Black Knight and others. ... Read more

Product Description

Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.
