The story of a young Plains Indian who traveled to Europe in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Rodeo, this book is extraordinary and moving. The story is fun, but it is the illustrations that bring this book to the level of genuine art: the pictures are completely magical. This book transformed my day after reading it: I felt renewed by it's beauty and innocence.

I read this book as a teen, and I was a gifted teen, so I felt for 13-year-old Martin, whose giftedness made him feel like a dork. This touching book is fiction but it's not fantasy. There are thousands of real life Martins walking around feeling like dorks because they're gifted, and this books message is YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE A DORK. The world needs more "Martins." Clark Kent may have looked like a dork, but he was a SUPERHERO

There are still people in this world who listen: anthropologists. After reading less than humble authors who are certain they have most if not all the answers, I found this volume to be a delight. The fifteen articles in this book, each concerning individuals and groups in a particular cultural/historical setting, address the phenomenon of "social suffering". While the dominant American cultural construct holds that virtually every experience is individual, these authors establish that life is, after all, social and individual, and much suffering (another unpopular topic) is created, experienced and coped with socially. The first chapter, by Arthur Kleinman and Joan Kleinman, is alone worth the price of the book. After discussing how we Americans present to ourselves and react to news of dire suffering, usually discretly presented without context and with no way to respond, the authors write, "The American cultural rhetoric ... is changing from the language of caring to the language of efficiency and cost ...." Other essays address Mao's China, modern India, Nazi medicine, terror in Sri Lanka and torture. Paul Farmer's essay regarding the lives of two of Haiti's destitute is particularly unnerving. Some of the essays require close reading, but they are well worth the effort. This is a book that will leave you with a broader and deeper perspective.

A great book for all of you who are into New Age and history/future of mankind.
When I started to read this book, I didn't even know about the Secret Doctrine. Of course, after finishing it, I read the H.P.B classic... The Solar System is an excellent complementary reading, when it comes to the mavantara/pralaya cycles, rounds, races, etc... There's some pictures showing the cycles that make easy to understand how our solar system works.
After all, is a must read.

This book is a true masterpiece. I demand that everyone read it

Big feet was Groucho's nickname for Arthur- his son, who wrote a beautiful book before I was even born- yet I was touched and swallowed this book in 2 days. You read the story of the young Arthur struggling all his life to be more than son of Groucho, and along the way, you don't only discover a whole new side in Groucho, you also meet a bright man who made it on his own- Arthur. A must to all Groucho fans and to all those who think that celebraty's kids have it made.

Este es un buen libro escrito por unos de los mejores especialistas en diagnóstico prenatal com lo es P. Jeanty (tal vez el mejor del mundo.Una gran adquisición Claudio Luna

I await with great anticipation the release of Dr. Diamond's Souls of the City. If it's half as good as And I Will Dwell In Their Midst, we will once again be treated to an incisive, intriguing, persuasive work by one of North America's finest social historians. I only hope that this month's release of Souls of the City is not completely overshadowed by the historic hype of Senator Clinton's Living History and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

For those seeking more information and discussion of the theology known as Calvinism, Augustinian, or Pauline as based in scripture, Custance wrote it.

Custance goes at great lengths to explain the history and the complete implications of the Biblical doctrine of predestination and the sovereignty of God. An excellent book for anyone who loves the Lord.

-note added later-
Custance does wander slightly into the idea of annihilationism, (the idea that there is not an eternal punishment of torturous fire), but does not present it as fact.
