I started piano lessons three and a half months ago. I'm an adult and luckily acquired this book. It was printed in the sixties. My piano teacher really likes _the selection_ of music. So do I. I also like _the instruction._ I'm currently learning two pieces from the book. My big question is . . . Where is Book Four? I can't get more complimentary than that.

If you truely want to be a "Christian" in this world today, this book is for you. The world needs to see someone who is more than your average, "oh, yeah, they are a Christian, whoopde-doo!" There are many people who say they are Christians but you couldn't tell it by their actions, lifestyle, the way they treat other people. As a Christian you need to be set apart from the world "different" Christlike, The world needs to see a difference in you, Jesus Christ! =) If you want to have a lifestyle that is pleasing to God, and to have happiness, contentment, joy, and peace through it all, I highly recomend this book! Be a leader for Christ, for those around you be a Godly example. =) This world needs more of Jesus, and you may be the only example of Him they really will ever see.

The Mark Of Cain: Psychoanalytic Insight And The Psychopath focuses on providing a psychoanalytic approach to understanding the psychopathic mind as presented in a series of twenty-one psychoanalytic papers by experienced researchers and practitioners. From David M. Levy's Primary Affect Hunger (1937) and Wilhelm Reich's The Phallic-Narcissistic Character (1933), to Ben Bursten's Some Narcissistic Personality Types (1973) and Otto F. Kemberg's The Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the Differential Diagnosis of Antisocial Behavior (1989), The Mark Of Cain offers a superbly presented historical survey of seminal, scholarly contributions that significantly contribute to our understanding of the complex inner world of the psychopath and the necessity of a clinical realism in dealing with the deception, manipulation, exploitation, and physical danger psychopathic patients present to the therapist.

This book is about a freshman named Conte Mark who decides to try to get away with an amazing prank--be two people at the same time. His new high-school programs him as two people--Conte Mark and Mark Conte. With a wild plan and a couple of helpful friends he almost accomplishes it. This is a fun book for any teenager.

I never heard of James Wallis before I picked this book. I chose it because I am a Warhammer fan. It was refreshing and new compared to other Warhammer novels in the way that it managed to portray a rather realistic story in the Imagined world of Warhammer.
Plot & Storytelling: The story is of a young army officer, "Karl Hoche", in the service of the emperor who stumbles upon the work of chaos cultists within the army. This unlucky encounter forces him to join a secret service of the empire for rooting out dangerous conspirators. He becomes sort of a secret agent (not of a Ian Fleming's James bond style but more of a field agent in one of Tom Clancy's novels ). The story has many surprising twists (I won't say too much as I do not wish to spoil the fun) and is hard to put down. There are some gruesome events of violence in this book (torture), but Wallis doesn't feel he needs to delve into the gory details in order to give his readers a good experience (unlike popular writers such as Terry Goodkind ). He does a good job in enticing the reader's curiosity and imagination.
Action: Warhammer books always contain a lot of action (after all this is what this game is all about). "Mark of Damnation" doesn't fall behind in this category though it is more of the realistic kind. Our hero when faced with three opponents would choose to flee. So this is definitely not another William King's slayer book for that matter.
Characters: The main character "Karl Hoche" is developed quite nicely. As he confronts the many situations in the story his entire world view is twisted and shutters. He begins as a strait forward soldier (son of a priest to the god Sigmar) whom sees the world in the shades of black and white. Along the way everything he knows to be right is tested, even his faith in the gods. James Wallis tackles this with style and grace as to not make it too tedious.
The other characters are mostly one dimensional, though Wallis creates a charming and intriguing bunch of them come to life. A rather gay undercover agent, a cynical and depressed spymaster to serve as Hoche's tutor just to name few.
To sum it up, I think this is a five story book. And it made me look forward to delving into other James Wallis's works.

This book is a MASTERPIECE!
I saw this book on the shelf, and being bored, I decided to give it a shot. Boy, am I glad I did! Mr. Yager uses his common vocabulary and amazing explaination techniques to accent his gained knowledge and priceless experience. He takes a not often perceived view that disagrees with the image most Americans see in millionaires. If you want to gain even a little more success in just your everyday routine, read this book! I assure you it is worth it.

Take a good look at this book folks!

The first time I read this book was in February 1985, I was in high school then and it was refreshing to read a story about an African secret agent in the Nigerian naval intelligence. This books moves as swift as lightning from the first stage to the last; eliminating the sterotype that James Bond like heroes are only a product of first world countries and super powers. Its a novel that appeals to everyone as long as you are an action junkie like most of us are, and also goes deep down the dark secret of the martial arts - stuff we rarely see from African writers.

I was blessed to meet Edward N. Sarath one Christmas a couple of years ago. Touched and inspired by his first book "An Awakening Soul: The Practical Nature of Spiritual Growth", I have started to read "The Mark of the Galilean" last week and I haven't been able to put it down. I think this great author gave us the wonderful opportunity to look into the lives of some characters of the Holy Scriptures - and in my personal opinion - of Jesus Christ as well, in a very special way! May Ed rest in peace!

I was really impressed by this book. In addition to being raunchy, sweaty erotica-- more importantly, being GOOD raunchy, sweaty erotica-- it manages to make a decent stab at a plot (mystery) and includes a few really enjoyable trippy scenes. I wish Mr. Adams would write another as good as this one.

This is a great introduction to the works of Mark Rothko. The reproductions of his work are very interesting. There is some background information on Rothko and some essays from other artists.
