HEATHENS was sad, thought provoking, strong, and funny as hell! The Gabriel family and their neighbors are all suffering from a bad case of the strange and disturbed. Believe this, it was those traits that made this book as memorable as it was. David Haynes has made me look at my neighbors closer, and run for my car in the mornings. Great stuff!

This collection of lectures is such a welcome change from his meticulously written texts. Kohut was a genius. This theories are brilliant - but his writing is complex, bordering on tangential. That's not a problem in this collection. Additionally, Kohut's theoretical explanation of self psychology is brought to life with many practical examples. In certain instances this text is like a "how-to" for the beginner and experienced to profit from. The most disturbing aspect of this work is how much longing it inspires. Those lucky advanced students got so much from a genius. They were priviledged to see his "real" and practical side. He let his guard down while filling their minds with the wisdom of his experience. You may find yourself wishing you were one of those lucky candidates at the Chicago Institute.

Any ideas supporting an end to the cycle of violence and discrimination in our teen population developed by these authors is a guarantee of a resource that is valuable and effective. The activities, excercises and information presented in this book seek to encourage teachers, parents and counselors of teens and the teens themselves to look into their own experiences and enlighten and expose their own potentially violent and discriminative attitudes. By acknowledging, exploring and identifying their own biases each person becomes a critical thinker capable of reading between the lines of human behavior and political propaganda. The authors explain the cycle of violence as beginning with the oppression and discrimination of people based on race, religion, gender, class, etc. The frustration and hopelessness felt by the oppressed manifests itself in the form of a violent act on the individual him or herself or on another person. By using this perspective the authors demonstrate the importance of not trying to stop violent behavior by encouraging teens to simply act in ways that others deem proper and simultaneously deny and repress true thoughts and feelings. As an educator I strongly recommend this book for you and your students and/or children.

Henry V and the Conquest of France is a Great Book to read and look at the pictures. Top of the line on Henry the V

I have read many children's books in my time; however, this is by far the most imaginative I have come across in a very long time. A cute picture book about an average kid with a not-so-average lunchbox is a "James Bond story" for kids. The added benefit of it being in rhyming couplets makes it a favorite for both me and my children.

I'm a school teacher and my kids love these books. They are entertaining and educational at the same time. I would recommend this series for any parents or teachers.

Searching for the truth? Read about how possibly the greatest American to ever live was erased from U.S. history.

For anyone who is a student of Gestalt Therapy this book is a must. Stoehr's work gave me a deep appreciation for the intellectual legacy of Paul Goodman.

As indicated in the title, this work is an examination of the history and theory of history. It is separated into two sections, each written by one of the authors. Roland Stromberg opens the work with a chronological overview of the way historians have worked and understood their craft since the Early Modern period. Paul Conkin follows up with a brilliant examination of several theoretical issues that face past and modern historians (e.g. objectivity and causation).

I particularly recommend the Conkin section. It contains some of the most level-headed argumentation I have found in works of this kind. Those of you who know the thrill of seeing a beautiful argument taking shape or who get excited reading the work of an impeccable logician will truly enjoy this. Conkin paints a very clear picture of the issues and makes a number of very astute points. Stromberg's section is not as immediately impressive, but it is nevertheless a knowledgeable consideration of the history of history.

The tone is decidedly academic. However, for those who want a well-reasoned, balanced look at the development of the historical enterprise over the last few centuries and at the philosophical issues facing it in the post-modern world, this may very well be the book to read.

For another excellent treatment of the historical and theoretical issues considered in this work, refer to TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HISTORY by Appleby, Hunt, and Jacob.

What a wonderful book! I couldn't imagine such an espectacular book about one of my favourite paiters: Rubens. It's a very nice printed book, with plenty of images from the Maria dei' Medici Gallery of the Musée du Louvre. The text is wonderful. A "Must" book if you are in love with the Flemish paintings of the XVII century. Don't loose this opportunity!
