I have used a number of introductions to the ideas of Carl Jung in my Literature and Psychology courses over the years, and Jacobi's book is the best. My students find its presentation of Jung's ideas clear and thorough.

Although a bit expensive, this book very clearly explains the various topics and calculations related to the system level design of Receivers. It includes linear and non linear mixing, two chapters on noise, AM & FM calculations, and three whole chapters on superheterodyne characteristics, spurious, and the intercept point concept. There are block diagrams and schematics. The math used is mostly algebra and light calculus except for the chapter on special functions. The answer to most end of chapter problems is included.

There is no doubt that an incredible amount of work went into this extremely comprehensive tome. I never failed to find what I was looking for especially with an attending impatiently tapping his foot while I was running to find out what he was talking about.

The format is quick and easy to understand and use. And there are syndromes you just never knew even existed.

The fact that Ralph Bunche is little known on university campuses nowadays just proves that white male patriarchal systems of 'scholarship' are making it almost impossible to learn about all the great African American figures in the twentieth century. Why are we not told about him? Because we are supposed to care about conservative white males like Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt! As a feminist and a white woman, I side completely with African Americans as they try to access their glorious past, including celebrated people like Ralph Bunche, who, until now, was hardly known outside the postage stamp that featured his portrait. Not any more!

Robert Vaughan does a great job everytime he tells a story. In Clarion's Call, Quinn Pendarrow leaves the army to marry his sweatheart only to find she has found someone else. He reenlists as a civilian member in the Trains Company. Their responsibility is to take supplies for the military to the Dakota territory. He meets a beautiful daughter of an artist who is going to tour the west and paint the Indians. Quinn attempts to protect this beautiful woman even as he is assigned to aid Brig. General G.A.Custer in an upcoming battle that will be the last for some. I have read many accounts of Custer's Last Stand but this was the #1 in my book.

From the beginning when Quince Fremont escapes prison to clear his name from a crime he did not commit RUNAWAY STAGE is filled with gunsmoke and action....equally the best book I have read about a stage coach trip. RUNAWAY STAGE is filled with memorable characters including Damon Parker a gambler that hides a surprising past that emerges in the surprising ending. Also on the stage is Rachel Kincaid who has never lost faith in Quince's innocence. RUNAWAY STAGE is a MUST READ for western fans.

Dakota Trail is one of the best srories I've ever read, and it is writen by Robert Vaughn an excellant writer!!!
It's after the civil war and Dick Hodson finds his hometown without men to take the cattle north, so he takes to the trail with a party of raw greenhorn children. They soon find out a gang of evil men are waiting for them. Soon these untried children will become men if they survive. When Vaughn writes there is never a dull page.

Ralph Edwards of lonesome lake is a book about carving out a life for ones family in a remote wilderness. This book is such a contrast to our technical world with cell phones, internet, e mail "Big Box shopping" malls. Our lives are so full but really so empty. I felt an extreme feeling of sadness after having read this book. Ralph Edwards and his wife are now dead after having lived a hard but full life. We all struggle through life with different goals and yet we all have to face death. I felt the sadness of Ralph Edwards when he realised that he was too old to be independant and look after himself. This book has to make us all stop and concider what we are doing and what is the purpose of life. What could possibly be more important than these questions?

Ralph Meatyard is surely not one of the great names of photographic history, but he does deserve a place as far as originality is concerned. He is truly an American original, a poet, a visionary artist of the highest caliber. Using family and friends, Meatyard created a gothic world worthy of Poe and Faulkner. A modest man, rasing a family and working as an optometrist, Meatyard managed to create a world straddling dream and reality. He wasn't afraid to experiment and, using a minimum amount of equipment, but a maximum amount of creativity and experimentation, he snapped a record of both beauty and weirdness. It's surprising that he lived on the border of North and South, in that his work seems so southern in feeling. One has only to create a book of photos by Meatyard, coupled with the poetry of the Arkansas poet Frank Stanford, to create a true work of gothic beauty. All one can say is that he's a true original who deserves to be appreciated. James Hoffman

This book kept Ralph Gibson's Style, and he kept the strong expression in B&W photos. I recommend this book to others. He made the B&W photos a mystic art.
