I've read through At Home with God and will use the material with my school-age children. As a single parent, it is hard to find ways to spend devotional time with younger elementary kids. Too much is going on and I'm tired at the end of the day, but this book's premise is based on my scenario--and the ways all families operate today! We'll be able to pick up the book, turn to the day's devotional, read it together, do the suggestions, and enjoy ourselves as a little church.

The devotions are biblically based. They explore the Bible instead of delving into complex or ridiculous theological discussions (such as how many angels can dance on the head of a pin).

I'm looking forward to having faithfilled fun with my children.

Excellent guide with clear illustrations and clear explanations. Very useful for the urologist-in-training or for the experienced clinician. Definitely one of the classics for this field's medical library.

I love reading books about archaeology becuase, I myself being one, they are so full of history and methods of being a good archaeologist. So when I saw this book with all it's descriptions and wonder pictures, I knew I had to buy it. It talked about how archaeoloists excavate and where they do it. It is a wonderful book that is very interesting and fun to read.

Changes in climate have been important determinants in evolution on Earth. As well as dealing with contemporary climate issues, this reference also describes how data from rocks, ice cores, ocean sediments, etc. is used to deduce the history of the planet's history of climate. This reference gives atmospheric O2 as a percent of present value at 1% at 2 billion years B.P., 10% at 700 million years B.P. and 100% at 350 million years B.P. Ice ages are given at 2.3 billion years B.P., 950 million years B.P., 820 - 730 million years B.P., 640 - 580 million years B.P., brief glaciation at 430 million years B.P. (immediately followed by evolution of land plants), warming of Earth by decrease of reflection sunlight because of plant cover, approx. 300 million years B.P. glaciation probably due to continental drift of largest continents along paths near poles, then warm climate through the Mesozoic and into the Cenozoic until 30 million years B.P. with glaciations periodically until present.

This book was written by the worlds no. 1 climate experts: Nobel Laureate Paul Crutzen and Thomas Graedel. If anyone still has any misunderstandings about the inner workings of the climate system - especially as part of the Earth's ecosystem at large - he should read this book. Whatever you want to know about the atmosphere - it is in here, be it atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, the ozone-hole problem, the formation of smog, the greenhouse effect, long-term climate evolution, natural versus man-made changes - just everything. This topic concerns us all, since understanding the science behind global environmental change now may well prove to be crucial for the long-term survival of mankind.

The book is not easy, but it is accessible for an informed lay person. At the same time it is a fabulous resource for a graduate student in the field as well. It would be nice to see more textbooks of this calibre on the market. Well done.

Crutzen is THE authority in the field. Ignoring his warning is like driving a car after a mechanic told you that the brakes are not functioning - which is the current course of action.

I loved the history, the photos and the journey from start to present. I noticed the author, Paul Harris, is also the editor of "Audi Driver", but haven't been able to find any information on this publication. I would love to get my hands on that one!! I recommend this book to anyone who loves Audi's as much as I do.

I HAVE JUST COMPLETED READING CYNTHIA OLSEN'S NEWEST BEQUEST TO THE WORLD POPULATION. THE TITLE IN ITSELF TELLS IT ALL, WHAT A GIFT TO THOSE OF US WHO WISH TO TREAT OUR GENERAL AILMENTS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILIITY WITHOUT HAVING TO REVERT TO CONVENTIONAL PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND PRACTICES. IT IS NOT MEANT TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THESE CONVENTIONAL MEDICINES, BUT TO BE USED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IF WE CANNOT REMEDY OUR AILMENTS "NATURALLY" THEN WE SHALL GO THAT "CONVENTIONAL ROUTE IF NEED BE. UNTIL THEN, OUR "FIRST AID KIT IN A BOTTLE" - AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL SHALL DO ITS ASTOUNDING HEALING.

I AM ASTHMATIC ANDI DO USE THOSE "CONVENTIONAL" MEDICINES WHEN NECESSARY, BUT THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE FOUND THAT TEA TREE EASES THE PRESSURE THAT COMES WITH DIFFICULT BREATHING - BY JUST PUTTING A FEW DROPS OF TEA TREE IN A BASIN OF WARM WATER AND DRAPING A TOWEL OVER MY HEAD AND BREATHING THE AROMATIC TEA TREE DEEPLY IN AND OUT, I GET GREAT RELIEF. I HAVE ALSO USED THE REMEDIES FOR EARACHES, SORE THROATS AND COUGHS DUE TO RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. I REPSECT MS. OLSEN'S ADVICE AS TO WHEN TO CONSULT A PHYSICIAN AND I HAVE IN NO WAY LET MY GREAT ADORATION FOR THE TEA TREE HEALING POWERS CLOUD LOGICAL JUDGMENT IN TREATING MY FAMILIES AILMENTS.

THIS LITTLE BOOK IS TRULY ONE THAT EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR SO CALLED "MEDICINE CHEST" TO BE USED AS THE LISTED SITUATIONS ARISE AND BE VALUED HIGHLY BY EACH AND EVERY BEING AS A NATURAL CURE BEFORE RUNNING OUT IN SEARCH OF OVER THE COUNTER OR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION. IT IS TRULY REMARKABLE HOW ONE LITTLE BOTTLE CAN CONTAIN SUCH UNIQUE AND HEALING QUALITIES, I SAY BRAVO TO MS. OLSEN AND SUSAN TINKLE IN PUTTING TOGETHER A GREAT LITTLE BOOK, ONE THAT WE CAN REFER TO WHENEVER NEEDED AND ALSO ONE THAT WE CAN BE SURE WILL GIVE US THE INSIGHT TO HELP OURSELVES ON THE ROAD TO HEALING. THANK YOU LADIES FOR A GREAT GIFT!

Very few books truly allow you to meet another person from a far off time who lived a life completely different than the one you know, yet remaining utterly human. 'Autobiography' is the word for word narrative of a Winnebago Indian born sometime in the mid to late 1800's who was asked by Radin to tell about his life. There are no attempts to make this into a work of political correctness or to shield aspects of the narrator's culture we might find deplorable. What makes this writing unique is that unlike so many books of 'history', this is about the thoughts and happenings of one individual instead of using the individual as a vehicle to tell another story. If you are looking for the genuine article--a real document of what it must have been like to have been a Winnebago during this turbulant period, look no farther.

this is one case where "It was worth the wait!" Until now the only source i trusted for getting answers for how to deploy ADT3_3 was the Autodesk Newsgroups. What Paul has done here to collect his vast experience and knowledge of the product into a complete thought and then run it through the Autodesk gamut of approval is nothing short of tremendous.

Look -- let's admit it, ADT is a small BEAST. It can take months to implement some of these concepts fully into your firm. And if you think you will come to all the same conclusions Paul does on your own your crazy. I refer back to my brother who is in the music business "You have to know the rules before you can break them!" Paul knows the rules.

for lack of space i will comment only on content here . . .

i dove in this past weekend. i scanned 8 of the 13 chapters. (chapter 13 is available on the web site only). you don't have to read the book in order but i suspect to use it is as a guide you would need to follow it in order. So far i have found many good suggestions. and a few healthy disagreements too. it is really good reading!!! the same nice balance of technical assumptions and laymans terms that we have come to expect from Paul.

i foresee it becoming the guidebook for implementation as Autodesk Press intended for many offices. and for others such as mine it is an excellant balance and check to review current implementation. I also look forward to editing some of the included cd-rom content for documenting my own implementation, something i never seem to get to.

here's a couple specifics:

Pro's
page 41:
I agree with "include an OBJRELUPDATE/all statement in your Acad.lsp file."
Realizing that regenall does not regen adt objects was very helpful.

too many more to list.

Con's
page 47:
I don't agree with "Optimize for Speed check box in the Object Snap area . . . it is recommended that you not activate this feature"
I find little use for the extra snapping on the effected objects, and in a production environment; file sizes are large enough that performance would surely be sacrificed.

enjoy. cheers,

In terms of finding a wild, uninhibited introduction to the radical and mindspinning worlds of Breton and friends I can assure you that this is a challenging but rewarding read. However, take note that those who feel prose must have structure and communicate linear thought, please leave your textbook at the door. This is work that burrows deep into the subconcious and festers like a tick.
