Written by WW2 veteran Sptifire pilot W.A. Bishop, this book covers the last famous air battle of the war. Mr Bishop provides much background information on the planning of this battle, Then procedes to cover it's execution and overview of the results. Provides historical information on the thoughts and actions of many verterans, from both sides. An invaluable referance to anyone interested in the last months of the the Air War in Europe. After reading it, I was amazed to find out that this raid could have indeed altered the course of the war, and delayed its end in the West. This book needed to be written, and Mr. Bishop covers all bases. Highly recommended, PHG

This book is a quick read that is full of very helpful info. I would recommend it to anyone studying or performing Schumann.

This dictionary is the most accurate and comprehensive book on religious and mythical symbolism written. I have searched unsuccessfully for any volumes that could be compared to it. Each definition is followed by several quotes from authorities on the subject from countless religious views.

This book is a priceless reference for anyone interested in the study of comparative religions. It is also great fun to apply the definitions to poetry, nursery rhymes, and even your dreams. It is a must for the library of those with a questioning mind (which includes most of us!)

Ernest Holmes founded the metaphysical Church of Religious Science. The New Thought philosophies espoused by that and a number of other metaphysical groups utilize terms of art which frequently appropriate and redefine common usages from Christian, Buddhist and Hindu theology. This book provides a helpful guide to the reader--whether adherent to New Thought ideas or not--to understand "what the words mean" in New Thought writing. Holmes has a conversational, Sunday preacher writing style which is easy to digest. As any apologist for a faith might, his elucidation of the terms includes a fair bit of advocacy of the ideas. The mildly evangelical undertone, however, does not detract at all from the usefulness of the book as a study guide in the terms and ideas of New Thought. New Thought ideas pervaded our popular culture for the better part of the 20th C. such that many New Thought ideas are no longer seen as "new ideas", but instead as mainstream truisms. Holmes would undoubtedly find this entirely appropriate, as he did not claim for his faith an exclusive message or a freedom from influences outside the faith. New Thought is interesting in and of itself, but it is also a fascinating window into a very American system of theology. Although this work is a "dictionary" of "terms", it is not dry reading. Holmes instead is clear and reasonably simple in his language. Holmes' great gift as a writer was to be able to write popular theology which was not unduly laden with abstruse ideas. This work exemplifies the best of his writing, and is an excellent starting point for anyone who wishes to understand better just what the New Thought adherents believe, and the language of this branch of American metaphysics. The skeptic or believer in a different faith may find much to disagree with in Holmes' work, but the book is nonetheless a good exercise in just what Holmes did believe and preach. In some instances, New Thought writing can seem to be all "positive thinking" and no system. Holmes' work seeks to systematize the ideas, without alienating the reader. In the main, the work succeeds in this task.

I bought this book about 10 years ago and it is one of the few books that I still refer to. Even this morning, after I meditated, I was prompted to open up the bible and read something and I used this book to interprete what symbolism was used in that passage. Truly this book is gold. Definately get it. Well, well worth the money.

My boys...were immediately inspired by the fascinating
projects in this book! However, they are not able to make
the projects independently. I would highly recommend this
book for parents of kids who are willing to get their hands
dirty and for parent of kids who like multi-day projects.
We had a blast building a full model Stegasarous and T-rex,
but we spent many hours building them.

You will need to go to other resources for full details
about how/when/where the dinos lived. This is mostly a project
book and less of a reference book. But the projects are so
fun and interesting, it will make you want to learn more.

Though most were about time travel,I liked the FogHorn and Our lady of the saurapods.Though Strata,didn't have anything to do with dinosaurs.But still a great book!

Discovering Dinosaurs In The Old West: The Field Journals Of Arthur Lakes, deftly edited by Michael F.

Reading the works of Euler, Gauss, Galois, etc., may seem out of fashion sometimes and in this case this book could be regarded as a little out of date. Nevertheless, always keep on mind Abel's wise words: "Read the masters"! There are plenty of things Gauss may be able to tell us yet.
