this was a good book. Dr.Comey was my teacher last year. He was a very good teacher, although he gave alot of work. We had to write a huge essay every month, and we had a huge test every other. He would probably scold me for writing this, because I used the word because and did not use very good puncuation, capitalization, or spelling. If you were in his first class in 6th grade of '99, 2000 you would probly agree with me. Dr. Comey was a very good teacher last year. On the last day he read and excerpt from one of his books. It was amazing. "Hello L.V and J.S!" He said to us once. If you read this and you were one of those people you'd know who wrote this.

Good and rare book! Essential if you need to know the conception of the world in the Middle Ages. "Travellers Tales", Prester John legend, Cristian pilgrimates and Arab travelers and merchants could be understood as consequence of the ancient concepts fall and how cosmogonies took its place.

This is one of the best books I've ever read, and deals with how to handle personal problems that can easily weigh you down. I used to have the book in N.Ireland, and must have given it to someone to borrow, and never saw it again. I was recently able to reorder it, and I won't be parting with it again!

This title is an essential source for practitioners treating HIV/AIDS - especially in a community-based setting. It is extremely readable and provides information covering pattern identification, herbal and acupuncture treatment plans and practical advice on creating a non-profit community clinic serving this population. It is a book I refer to again and again.

This is the first volume of Braude Bros.' "Gilbert & Sullivan Project", a Herculean effort to produce the definitive critical editions of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas.
The result is nothing short of extraordinary. Working from sources dating to the autors' lifetimes, Steven Ledbetter and his team of editors and researchers have put together an edition to put all others to shame. Features include:
*Complete, annotated libretto, with illustrations by Gilbert
*Trial By Jury in full score

*A Critical Apparatus detailing every discrepancy between their edition and the source scores

The edition is printed on high-quality paper, attractively bound in a light-blue hardcover. The clear, easy-to-read formatting of the music makes it a practical score for conducting the opera, as well as a scholarly tome for musical study.

I confidently and enthusiastically recommend this score for all lovers of Gilbert & Sullivan, and for all companies wishing to perform Trial By Jury.

it's REALLY fun but no way superfiscial because the narrator is a psychological mess, and as the story proceeds he changes from kooky to a touching, real character. his underlying problem and coping mechanism becomes as the story unfolds, and it's very interesting and different. i think high school flavor is dead right-- the cliques, the animosities between them. i recommend this book VERY highly.

Arthur Katterjohn offers the modern reader a cogent and biblically solid presentation of eschatology (end-times issues)that is different than the currently popular dispensational paradigm.

Dispensationalism dates from the 1830s. But reaching further back, from the time of the church fathers (the patristics) through the Protestant Reformation, the Old Testament Day of the Lord and the New Testament Day of Jesus Christ were held to be one and the same event.

Katterjohn goes into the major passages on the Second Coming and tactfully exposes where dispensational theology comes short of putting the puzzle pieces of eschatology together. The result is a book that puts those same pieces together in a way that thoroughly integrates all of the passages into a meaningful whole.

For instance Katterjohn uses Jesus' parables to show the church that the church needed to have a faith for the long haul through the Tribulation period by showing how the images used in Jesus' teachings point to that very reality for the Christian Community. In many of Jesus' parables where the Second Coming is the main theme, the main character who leaves at the beginning of the story comes back at "midnight" - the darkest hour of the night - or may possibly come back even later than that.

Katterjohn is of the opinion that the church is given so much information about the Tribulation period because the church will actually have to know that information for its own survival and spiritual vitality until Jesus comes.

Katterjohn shows that fallacy of the dispensational "secret rapture of the saints" scenario to show that the rapture will take place when Christ returns with all the saints and that His coming is not a secret event, but as plain as lightning in the sky (according to Jesus).

If you are looking for an alternative to dispensational theology and are interested in how a more historic view and interpretion of end-time passages plays out, this is a wonderfully and clearly written book to get you going in just that direction.

THE CUSTOMS, CULTURES AND SUPERNATURAL INCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PACIFIC ISLANDS.

The collection that the Masons have built out of a love of art, craftmanship and wood turns into a real gift to those who do not have the luxury to study these pieces first-hand. The photos of their home shows that their attraction with creation is not limited to wood but to light, paintings and melding life with art.

The photos display the pieces so well that some just seem to glow and brighten on the page. It makes it difficult to look at a tree or salad bowl without imagining the possiblities.

The world according to Vogelsang is three-fifths reality and two-fifths dream, but the resulting surface is so artfully camouflaged that it's impossible to know which is which. You feel that you are standing on a curb...and that a step in the wrong direction might plummet you into the bottomless pit of a dream. A step in the right direction, however, might land you a little farther up the slope of reality where the air is refreshingly free...and perfumed with a certain spice that leads you to believe momentarily at least that the world has taken a turn for the better and that you are getting your life together. Vogelsang's poetry is both abrasive and generous.
