Unlike the United States, which has preserved a number of battleships as museums or memorials, not a single British dreadnought survives in the country that invented them. This book is an ambitious attempt to achieve the next best thing - a level of documentation in plans, photographs and words that portrays every aspect of the ship, albeit in two dimensions. Although the ship was chosen primarily because of the wealth of source material, _Duke of York_ enjoyed a distinguished wartime career that included sinking the German battleship _Scharnhorst_ in 1943 and serving as the flagship of the British Pacific Fleet in 1945, so is a fitting subject for such in-depth treatment. The core of the book is the reproduction in full colour of a complete set of as-fitted plans of the ship, including many details and close-ups. These are complemented by an unusually thorough set drawn after the ship's major refit in March 1945, showing all the modifications undertaken to prepare the ship for service alongside the US Navy in the Pacific. Photographic coverage begins with the stunning views taken by the builder's professional cameraman during every stage of construction, and concludes with an illustrated chronology of the breaking up. This last is included not just for completeness but because photos of the ship at various stages of demolition demonstrate many aspects of the interior structure, compartments and their fittings that are otherwise invisible. While the emphasis may be primarily visual, the accompanying narrative and captions display the expertise and in-depth knowledge of the authors, making the text as enlightening as the illustration. The result is a uniquely comprehensive portrait of a great ship in all its complexity, and a book that no warship enthusiast will want to miss.

The Bible of Self-Improvement
Format: Kindle
First, let's get something out of the way... which version to buy. I ordered my copy on launch day and after dealing with 48 hours of anxiety waiting for it to show up, I couldn't take it any longer and ordered the Kindle version as well. Bottom line... You need them both. One to have right away and always with you, and the book itself to markup, highlight, write in the margins and run through the ringer. Everything in the 2005 release is here, but there's more... so much more. Updated stories from people who have implemented The Success Principles, where they started, and where they are today will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put this book down (but you really have to so you can implement). It is written with the mastery of a thriller novel, yet finessed ever so finely so that you not only learn the principles, but implement them. The new section, "Success in the Digital Age" fills a desperate void. We are overloaded with information, new technology and social media platforms. Most people are guilty of these being replacements for other time-wasting activities but fail to monetize and take advantage of them. Jack clearly lays out how to do it, instead of the digital age controlling you. I've been on pins and needles waiting for the Tenth Anniversary Edition (even though I read the first version 7 times). It is everything you could ask for (and more) in a self-help book. Ordered ten more copies to give as gifts (and so that at least one is always in my office). Congratulations on a job extremely well done. No stone was left unturned.

This book could not only change your life... it could change the world!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book is an absolute must read for anyone who wishes to achieve a more successful and happier life. Jack Canfield reveals the specific requirements, methods and principles for breaking through and achieving success in life, work, health and love. So whether you need to boost your team's revenues at the office, expand your personal creativity to figure out that big idea, break out of a negative pattern that is keeping you from finding love, or simply to create more balance in your life, this book will help you pave the way to achieving true and sustainable success. I'd like to add that after I read this book, I loved it so much that I took Jack's life changing workshop - Breakthrough to Success - and I can testify that this stuff works! Because of the workshop and finding the will to follow the timeless principles in this book, I have finally found how to achieve multiple breakthroughs that were eluding me over the years. Yes, the Success Principles absolutely work! One more thing - recently, I've been serving as a strategic consultant to a global humanitarian organization on a project that will transform the lives of millions of people - this has given me the privilege of traveling and meeting people all over the world, including poverty stricken countries like Somalia. (For fun, I'll attach a pix of me in a slum in Rawalpindi Pakistan.) I now see that the one vital component for transforming and lifting the Third World out of poverty is to shift consciousness in exactly the way that the Success Principles encourages. Therefore, I am 100% in support of Jack's vision of bringing the Success Principles to millions of people all over the world. I'm all in!

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!
