Sebok has made of Legal Positivism something more than the sum of its parts.

Tony Sebok is no longer the "swarthy young intelectual" from Brooklyn. He may now take his rightful place among the well respected names in contemporay jurisprudence. To Posner, Calabresi and Unger, we may now add Sebok.

If only Holmes could have read Legal Positivism in American Jurisprudence. . .

If you are to read this enigmatic work, you are already a Roman History buff, so beware to sort the fiction from actual history. Historia Augusta, in its better moments, renders the same flavor as a well-accomplished Xena episode; one feels befuddled by the mix between History, sheer invention and tongue-in-cheek humour; eventually, one wants to read more (well, supposing you are a Roman history buff and a xenite...) Therefore I regret very much the absence of an integral version of the whole work, that is the second half - the histories of the emperors after Heliogabalus - where fiction predominates, and which is perhaps the most intersting part in historical terms, as it is pratically the only written source for the most troubled years of the Roman Empire. Reading the work puts a most intriguing question: why it was that Late Antiquity found it necessary to look at its own past this way? Not a entirely otiose question in our postmodern days, I daresay.

This book is meant to be a continuing off of the Suetonius book, ending with Elagabalus (Heliogalabalus). This book is written similarly to Suetonius and includes the cover and inside grittiness of each emperor. a must read for people interested in the personal lives of the emperors.

The Augustan History is probably one of the most enigmatic and controversial historical documents to reach the present. Birley gives an excellent introduction on the current state of knowledge - according to which the book was a fraud or joke of sorts - and his notes are careful to point out what is likely to be true or not. The ancient text itself can be quite irritating to read, though. Birley's own lives of Nerva and Trajan are rather more interesting.

I think out of all the titles in the series this would be one of the best. I loved this when I was eight (now I can read it in half an hour). This is a great childrens book. I suggest it to young readers everywhere.

I loved this book because it had lots of interesting characters. It was fun trying to solve the mystery and I had to think hard about who stole the locket. I would recommend this book to all girls who love mystery stories.

The book explores realms that are only seldom considered ,for their peculiar nature,and for not beeing easily"catalogued".. The paramount influence,Carol Anthony explains, it is not so much what we whish or desire..but rather what "we do".. " we cannot want the love from one person.." wanting something is still ego based talk..hence unsuccessful. " the way back.. ,straight into someone'heart is to "change the way we see them" as thoroughly as possible and as honestly..

This IS a formidable lesson! and Lesson # 2:.. "nothing can be hidden from, the loving heart of the person we are connected with.."no lies,regardless of their"size"or Color"(white?".).the two hearts are so intimately connected,and at such profound,non measurable level,that alienation soon ensues "The other" may never know the specifics,but the consequences are nevertless as damaging for the relation,that soon or later,breaks apart If the book would contain only these 2 formidable truth,would already be plenty..but thre are imbedded, in the generous and simple prose,hundreds of pure gems.... Such an exquisite voice. Such an exquisite lesson,for the avid heart,on its path to "redemption" Adolfo de' Martino

After working closely with Carol Anthony's "Guide to the I Ching" for a year, I found myself truly transformed in attitude and awareness. That work which continues, was hallmarked by an unexpected relationship and when I felt the powerlessness of loving another, I reached to "Love, an Inner Connection" because it was based in the principles I was familiar with. This book is absolutely necessary to guide you through the challenges of loving another. It requires that we grow up, discard useless attitudes and prejudices, and work from faith and discipline. It seeks to teach those who are willing to learn, that loving requires enormous perseverence and patience, and that relationships that are meant to last, indeed require work.

Mrs.Anthony's understanding of the I Ching and her unique talent of bringing an ancient text to our "current" issues serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and strength.

This book is a spiritually based and illuminating work on how we connect with the other in a love relationship, based on the author's work with the I Ching. Unique in its approach, it is an in depth and spiritually based work.

When I got this book, I thought that it was just another long book. But when I started to read it, I couldn't put it down. It has interesting events on every page.

This book took me out of reality to and helped me to realize I am not the only one with these types of problems. It is an great way to relax when you have had a stressful day.

I was introduced to Xanth when I was sick and became one of it's greatest silent fans. The library had this buried and I just had a feeling I finnally found someone I can identify with, Dee. Her simplistic complexity was right on the mark and when she wins, not only her true love, but also finds that it's o.k. to be so different and yet the same as everyone else, you can't help but LOVE these books! Piers, please don't ever stop being a kid inside, i'd think the world as I know it was about to end. With resspect from a former Alcoholic, thanks

Great book. Clear and helpful. If you want to learn about control systems and business management control, this is the book you need.

Es un excelente texto de apoyo para la docencia. Tanto mis alumnos como yo lo hemos utilizado. Es importante el aporte de los autores con los casos de estudio que entregan en cada capitulo, que permite en tender y reforzar los conceptos vertidos en el mismo

A straight-forward no-nonsense approach backed by the right mix of cases. Expensive but worth every penny.

This great little book is the perfect pocket guide to Marc Anthony! Johns displays everything you've rever wanted to know about Marc Anthony in this great 80 page book. Though it is an older publication (and much has happened to the singer since, like his second english album entitled "Mended", and the birth of his son) it contains some great info about how the crooner began his amazing career. It also contains some wonderful photos that you just can't find on the net! A must-have for ANY Marc Anthony fan!

I have known about Marc Anthony since he first started and he only keeps getting better. I have enjoyed his music as well as finding out about how he got to where he is! He's a lovely man and I wish him the very best! Loved the book!

Who doesnt love him? his music is sensational, his songs are meaningful, and not to mention....he's gorgeous! this book is wonderful because it tells all about his childhood and family. he is a very great man, with a great heart. and you can definetly tell that in this book.

I teach students, a mathematical olympic team, and this book will help them to get the training they need in order to have more medalls and achievements in their carreers. It has everything they need to do their exams and practice.

The last time I competed in a mathematical competition was in elementary school. So when I recently picked up and tried to solve some old Olympiad and Putnam questions I was dumbfounded, to say the least. Then I discovered "The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook." This book is an excellent intro to problem solving. It is an immense help in dealing with the frustration of problems that will not yield. No solutions are given-- only outlines to the solutions(which you should only read part of if you get stuck, as the outlines will easily lead to a solution). This structure was an excellent choice as it gives novice problem solvers a chance to solve problems on their own with a little help if they need it. Highly recommend!

[people new to problem solving should also check out "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Paul Zeitz]

This book has proven: The olympiad problems are not so hard as they appears. For every problem, there is a valuable solution outline ,teaching us how to attack it in a natural way. Furthermore, here is a good list of reference books.

Scourge of the Ecliptic

He was driven by violent injustice from his home moon of Callisto and set forth to claim the epic destiny that would blaze across worlds and time. He saw his family destroyed, his sister carried off into sexual slavery, his beautiful lover killed - and he swore revenge against the murderous pirates who held the Jupiter planetodis in a stranglehold of terror...

Fired by raw courage, steeled by young might, he rose in the Navy of Jupiter to command a personal squadron loyal to the death. And it was death they faced-against piratical warlords of the Jupiter Ecliptic who laughed at the young commander's challenge...until they met the merciless fury of the warrior who would annihilate all obstacles in his path to immortal renown as the Tyrant of Jupiter!

This is a fantastic novel that although I read it a number of years ago, I am still amazed by the craftmanship involve in this book. Throughout this series, Piers Anthony leads his readers into his imagination of the future colonization of the solar system and the rise to power of an incredible man. Anthony projects the United States and the rest of the world of the 1980s into the future, although in recent years we hav seen the fall of the Soviet Union, the issues discussed in this novel still face our world even today.

This and the others in the series are very good. Read them. Now. Or i'll... j/k. But really, the storyline is about a Hope Hubris, and his diary. Written in the 24th Century, this is a good Science Fiction.
