I want to read all the book.

"The pusuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice, and a desire for personal independence-these are the features of Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it"
- Albert Einstein

Such a quote from Albert is enhanced by thousands of others.

In Leo the Linoness, you can really relate to the book. The book is about a girl named Tibb, who loves the Zodiac. She is a Leo, and she decides that that is the strongest sign in the zodiac. She has a sister named Nina, and the best mom ever. But in summer, her ex-best friend turns into a boy [lover]. And her sisters attitude is ridiculous. On top of that, her old baby-sitter is getting married. It is a humerous story of a thirteenth summer. It is a must read. It is geat for kids 9-15, I personaly think. It is a very good book, and I think that you would enjoy it.

This was one of my favourite books as a child, and I'm here to buy it for my little cousin.

In this tail, all the woodland animals describe how they feel; the owl feels wise, the lion feels brave, the bear feels strong. Leo the Lop says he feels brave, but the other animals scoff, saying he is too small and cute. When there is a forest fire, however, only little Leo can crawl under the choking smoke to guide the other animals to safety, proving that it does not matter what you look like on the outside, but what you have on the inside that counts.

As usual, this Serendipity book is beautifully illustrated and ends with a little poem giving the moral, most of which I remember all these years later. I highly recommend this book for all young folks.

Lydia Bradshaaw is a typical Leo ;she loves the stage and is very dramatic.At the end of performing one of the many plays she has appeared in at her local theatrics club She meets 2 people at the after show party-a rather old fashioned girl named page and a handsome, charming Arien called Eric.But her best friend A.J likes him too ,it all goes terribly wrong when she gets more then a pleasent suprise. Before she knows it Lydia realises that some one is out to hurt her, so read this exelent book to find out what happens to Lydia,will some one kill her? Who is her stalker?I think this book is well worth reading i give it a well deserved 9 out of ten

You have seen the image hundreds of times. It has been copied and parodied relentlessly for over five hundred years. It shows Jesus at the center of a dining table, flanked by six disciples on either side. Everyone knows _The Last Supper_, but few know as much about it as Leo Steinberg, who has looked and written and thought about it for thirty years. The result of these decades of concentration are poured out in _Leonardo's Incessant Last Supper_ (Zone Books), as close an examination of a painting as you will ever find. The book is not about the painting's history, its decay, or its restoration; it is, in astonishing detail, about the looks of the picture itself and a demonstration of how it continues to be an "incessant" font of thought and speculation as to its meaning. Steinberg's big book is wonderfully well illustrated, with details from the original, a generous gatefold to show it in its current restored state, pictures of how it looks within the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, how Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and a host of others copied the painting (and how they left out significant parts, and what the omissions mean), and plenty of diagrams to show such things as the lines of perspective and the effects of matrices and diagonals on Leonardo's meticulously planned original.

Steinberg has chapters on the disciples, on feet and hands, on the disciples, and more. The main figure, that of Jesus, bears, of course, the closest examination, and Steinberg details the history of thought about it, with writers weighing in on the meaning of the pose and the timing within the Gospel story of the scene depicted. Over and over, Steinberg shows that to seek a meaning and a timing is in vain. Leonardo has deliberately engineered his work so that any explanation involving a single meaning will be an oversimplification. Jesus's right hand is downturned in a gesture of apprehension. It is close to a mirror image of the left hand of Judas as they reach simultaneously towards the dish by which Jesus will designate his betrayer. It is also gesturing towards the wine, so that it marks the institution of the Eucharist; after reading Steinberg's work, the idea that Leonardo drew these two separate parts of the story together and told them as one is only one of the multiple meanings that seem natural on further reflection. Jesus's left hand is upturned, gesturing toward the bread. It also underlies the portentous hand of Thomas, hovering directly above it. Thomas's hand has an index finger pointing up, continuing the upturn theme of Jesus's left, and indicating, of course, higher things. It is Thomas's index finger that would soon be feeling around for confirmation of Jesus's wounds.

To read this book is to appreciate a hundred telling details in the painting which one did not notice before, and consequently to admire Leonardo's genius anew. It is also to admire the fruition of the decades of Steinberg's close study. His readers may feel a sense of humility that there was so much to see that had previously escaped them, but his witty, sure, and genial expertise will welcome them into seeing _The Last Supper_ with new vision.

At first Liberalism and Ancient and Modern square off against one another in the dusty city square. They circle, making faints, looking for an opening in their opponent's defenses. Ancient Liberalism strikes first, grappling with Modern. They strain, the sweat beeding on their brows as they try to gain advantage. Who will come out the victor? Will Ancient apply its fearsome sleeper hold? Will Ancient cheat, ignoring the rules of battle? Read Strauss' excellent, action packed novel in order to find out!

This book is one of the best book that I have read. Even though the price range is kind of high, I believe that this book is worth the price because it is one of the best books that I have read. Loius Blanc's views are similar to mine, and anyone who reads this book will be happy. A MUST READ BOOK FOR ANYONE!

i don't know why it seems nobody is interested in this book. personally i think this book is good. it helps people to get to know this great writer's weaknesses and to provide a good case study of a stormy marriage.
