The I.P.N. Book, Movie and DVD club is a great and fun way for I.P.N. members (and non members) to access reading or any other book, magazine, movie DVD TV program or other forms of media that has been given the seal of approval by other I.P.N. members across the nation\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0around the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how it works<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 upon release of a book, (non-fiction or fiction) DVD or any other media or entertainment project that relates to disasters and emergencies, terrorism, the environment, or other threats to public health and safety, a number of I.P.N. members (and non members) will be randomly selected to read, screen and then,\u00a0review<\/em>\u00a0the material.\u00a0 A special group of professional film critics will also contribute to the section along with the occasional commentary from the I.P.N. officers, staff and members.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone will be asked to submit their commentary and, it will be posted on the site with a special IPN rating system.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0June 29, 2006<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Ginger Davis, I.P.N. Co-founder<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c Of course I am biased, but I believe it is a great easy to read reference guide for everything you learn need to know about preparedness.\u00a0 It is very informative and has lots of useful information.\u00a0 The only thing I don\u2019t like is the Black Mr. Clean picture of Aton on the back cover.\u00a0 I give it six Dangershields for that.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Mike Phillips, Free Lance Journalist\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c I like it.\u00a0 It is really easy to read and understand.\u00a0 Even all the depressing \u201cend-of-the-world-as-we know it\u201d stuff at the beginning is well done without the usual preachy tone.\u00a0 His matter-of-fact approach worked well for me.\u00a0 Best book of this type I have ever seen.\u00a0 I give it a seven.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Leila Wills, Editor Bronzeville Metropolis\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so well done.\u00a0 It has so much information it must have taken a long time to get this together. Definitely a seven!\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Robert Woo, Computer Programmer\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c I don\u2019t usually read these types of books but this one was good.\u00a0 It had lots of information I didn\u2019t know about and I liked the style.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Paul James, Security Specialist\u00a0for a layperson, this is a survival bible. You can’t beat that and this is coming from someone who doesn’t like s&$t. I carry it with me at all times. Seven stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Marion Hilliard, Lawyer\u00a0I didn’t think things were actually this bad until I read the first chapters. Now I made it my business to memorize all the important personal protection stuff. Very very useful, well written too. I give it a six!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall average 6.5 Dangershields, June 29, 2007<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
