This handbook succeeds in adding depth and color to a subject which can sometimes be somewhat dry and technical. It serves as an excellent companion to any major text of critical care. The emphasis seems to be on supplementing conventional thought with the wisdom of the author's experience rather than on summarizing information which can be found elsewhere. Presented in a readable and witty style, it is not only useful to practitioners of critical care medicine, but is also a pleasure to read.

A compelling work that brings to mind the work of Italo Calvino, Kafka and Borges.

Robert Wolff's The Ideal of the University is a very interesting and stimulating book. He proposes an ideal model of undergraduate education from the perspective of a socialist, philosopher, and educator. The interesting thing about his book is not only his super-creative and somewhat crazy ideas, but also how he honestly presents his ideas and responds to the anticipated questions and concerns over his arguments. Several times I found myself questioning his arguments and then in the next paragraph or two he would respond to my questions. I do not necessarily agree with his points, but I found this "conversation" very thought provoking and interesting.

I read this book over and over again. The writer pours out his heart and it is sure to touch your heart. His talent for writing poems is a gift from God. This book is a ministry of its own. You can learn much from it or you can be comforted in time of grief. Paul has taken time to listen to what God wanted him to do, there is a message in this book for each and every one of us. It is worth taking the time to read what that message is for you.

The trickster of the Lakota, IKTOMI is once again teaching young readers (and Old) a moral story without the sermon. The seventh book of the Iktomi series, this one is a masterpiece of visual illustrations that we have come to expect of Paul Goble's work. Iktomi runs afoul of a scoundrel that swindles Iktomi in a land deal swap for a worthless game/trick. Iktomi quickly breaks the rules of the game, of course, and loses his eyes. The trickster then manages to persuade the mouse and buffalo to donate an eye apiece to Iktomi. Therein ensues some hilarious escapades that will delight the young reader and bring a smile to the adult. My two clildren were laughing so hard at Iktomi's self-inflicted predicaments. The beautiful artwork, and clever tale makes a superb story that will be long remembered; as all Iktomi tales are meant to be... Highly recommended for ages 3 - 10, and of course adults of any age. A must have for the library storyteller.

This well organized easy-to-read volume contains a massive amount of information detailing why the standard evolutionary theories simply do not fit the physical evidence in the universe in general and on earth specifically.. You do not have to be a scientist to understand the scientific principles such as biogenesis, entropy, probabilities and many more which are examined and explained in this book. Darwin believed in the years following his "Origins of Species", that evidence of his theories would be forthcoming. Almost 140 years and a quarter of billion fossils later, we still have no evidence of either macro or micro-evolution. All groups and species appear suddenly with NO transitional forms found. Taylor explains why evolution is not the answer to man's origins, and even uses quotes and information from evolutionary proponents that contradict their own conclusions! This is a masterful volume for creationists who need ready, understandable, yet scientific ammunition to prove that their ancenstors were not swinging in the trees four million years ago

Meticulous scholarship, but the text remains readable and interesting to the rest of us. Produced by leading experts, skillfully edited by Peter Barnet, the text is as exquisitely done as an ivory carving itself. The book is generously illustrated throughout with many photographs of the ivories. This book belongs in your collection if you admire fine art and craftsmanship from the medeival period.

Its a very interesting book. For those poeple who wanted to know more about the leader of the eight immortals. This is a book not to miss.

Excelent book with all the diagnosis alternatives for each usual medical problem. For a real clinician orientation between the lot of imaging test. They describe the tests with the confiability that each . The phisician can follow the way that Silverman draw. ( I'm a Radiologist phisician and I'm read a lot of times these book)

"The Immanuel Moment" cuts through the chase of religiosity and unashamedly steps on the toes of evangelicals as well as mainline Christian denominations. Its love for the pure gospel of Jesus Christ and its call to the soul for a REAL encounter with our Creator and Redeemer is clear and unabashed.
Don't read this book if you want to remain comfortable with your level of faith, if you feel you've "already arrived" spiritually, and if you only seek affirmation in maintaining your status quo Christianity.
If you can handle a real challenge to your faith, if you want to go deeper and richer than ever before, if you want to find out if what you have with God is real, then this book is for you!
