This is an awesome book describing AS/400 Security Strengths and weaknesses - especially as they relate to networking. I'd place it in the 'Advanced' catagory. If you're looking for a 'How-to' book, you'll want to look elsewhere, but if you already know 'How to', this one can be a real eye opener.

It had some pretty interseting speeches and essays but it didn't have any real beginning to end arguments or info on atheism. Not a good first book for beginning atheists.

A valuable addendum to general reference. Excellently presented, as with most Readers Digest products. The ideal companion book to this is the wonderful "THE Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Readers digest shows you where the Master walked, Patton shows you exactly who left the footprints!

Tired of soccer books that are full of drills to improve a players individual skills but lacking any ideas for game tactics? This book is a good mixture of strategies, tactics and related drills. Each chapter is by a different author that discuss various tactics and then presents several drills to reinforce the tactic. Tactics include "Playing Out of the Defending Third", "Creating Opportunities in the Attacking Third"' "Possession Soccer". Fourteen chapters in all, each with a different theme. A must book for the serious coach of age levels 12 and above.

Cater seems to be an genuine and serious scientist, and has compiled mounds of evidence supporting ideas including the Hollow Earth theory, Free Energy, and Faster-than-light travel. Is it true? Does it work? His simple experiments can be easily replicated with a little effort and time. If true, this theory is a revolutionary one, easily outdistancing such theories as Relativity (Einstein) and Evolution (Darwin).

The focus of Joseph Balyeat in 'Babylon' is a new and refreshing way of dealing with the often-difficult issue of 'apocalyptic pessimism' in Christian circles. Balyeat offers a refreshing and positive outlook that encourages pro-social activities and pro-social values. The church would do well to pay attention to the up-beat attitude of Balyeat's work and this inspired approach to the problem's presented by pessimism.

Balyeat is a scholar who writes in the best tradition of social responsibility and progressiveness.

Before I read Baksheesh and Bramhan, all I knew of Campbell was that he was an author of formidable intellect and also engaging wit (if the print version of Moyers series is to be believed)with a deep understanding of Oriental faiths. Campbells' account of his encounter with the land of these faiths - India - is at once insightful of the man and India in the 1950s. Confronted by the actual India - ancient, prudish, theieving, an emerging nation seeking a semblance of pride, low on self esteem, spiritual - Campbell is all at once the fastidous Westerner at odds with a culture he has admired from afar, charmed by its exoticism and occasionally getting bang on and incisively the actual reality of India. This book is an easy read and essential for anyone who has ever admired Campbell's work. Also a must read for anyone who wants to hold up a mirror to the new Indian nation and how far and how less that nation has travelled in the 50 odd years since. Campbelll's acerbism on fellow American travellers make for marvelous diversions.

One small observation and this must stem from being an Indian - that India is a hospitable nation is clear from this book. I am sure a lot of Indians would attribute it to Campbell being white, but there is something in here of hearts and houses being thrown open to a stranger.

I think I have a better instinctual understand of these "decadents" who were the clear marking of the break between the old aesthetic rationality and the surrealism, symbolism, etc. that followed--those who actually blend the periods, smudge and blur the two worldviews, like Poe and Blake and, here, Baudelaire do. I like Baudelaire's phantasmagoria, his exoticism put in service of delivering a concrete insight. And I especially like it when the poetic histrionics of "Flowers of Evil" give way to the fascinating prose poems--like "The Confiteor of the Artist" or the marvellous war-against-poetry volley "The Courteous Marksman." Other fine ones (reminding me also of Lovecraft)--"The Evil Glazier," "At One O'Clock in the Morning," "Solitude." There's misanthropy, insight and occult broodishness here of the most useful sort.

Rimbaud and Verlaine didn't grip me as strongly--I appreciate that they stretched artistic boundaries, but what they have done intrinsically I don't find as rich. Rimbaud's religious ravings and visions I find intelligent but obscurant (like Wallace Stevens)--he's doing some constructive deconstruction, but it's hardly readable (though I do like the more coherent symbolism of the famed "Drunken Boat"). And Verlaine, while he has the occasional dead-on whimsical insight, is a bit too florid in verbiage, classical in form, and even conventional for me. With these latter two poets, I think my concern with translated poetry also must come in at full force--this sort of wordplay and deliberate suggestiveness must be highly dependent on the nuance of the original words, and must therefore lose something considerable in English.--J.Ruch

Rael's book is filled with powerful energy; the words themselves may be elusive, even hard to understand at times, but that's because they contain the power of an alternate frame of reference. Just reading this book shifted my center and my life.
