This book has helped me beyond my wildest imaginations. It is similar to a tutorial of sorts, offering a methodical way to finding quality stocks that are severely undervalued. I highly recommend this to intermediate - advanced investors who are looking to strike it rich! This book will pay for itself withing your first month or so. I totally love this book and feel that every investor should pick one up. How often do you find yourself buying a stock whose greatness has already been exposed? I find myself doing it often. Or found. Would have been nice to have picked up IBM or McDonalds at pennies ... am I not right? This book has it all ... and what i like most is the methodical way in which it deals with the all too waivering OTCBB. Buy it now and you won't regret it!

While finding a complete copy of Irenaeus' 5 volume set is difficult, this work is a fine stepping stone on the way to commiting oneself to delving into the lunicy of Gnostic "thought."

In essence, this work is accurately described as a "best of" Against Heresies. Not exhaustive by any means, this volume stills provides more than enough to chew on for those who have never been properly introduced to the approach, style, and "tact" of this surprisingly entertaining apostolic leader.

As a manager of two large Christian book stores, I highly recommend it!

This book,written in journal format, by the frog, is excellent for learning about the life and habitat of a frog. Excellent illustrations and use of humor!

The Quilt Encyclopedia Illustrated covers all aspects of quilting from materials and patterns to history and uses. It teaches you how to quilt, showing the many quilting options available to today's quilter - patchwork, whole cloth and applique for bed covers, clothing and decorating are just the beginning. Detailed in the book is the history of quilting through many different cultures, including the reasons quilting began and how it developed. The illustrations and photographs are not only beautiful, but supportive of the text and inspiration for many projects. If you enjoy quilting and want to know more about the how and why of the art of quilting, this book can take you to that next level.

This book is an outstanding analysis of "reading and writing nature" in the works of four great American poets. I found the book specific and compelling. It helped clarify for me the problems of perception and cognition as they have been analyzed, written about and lived by American poets. It enhanced my own experience of and appreciation for these writers. The book also opens a door onto the larger dimensions of nature that can become locked or occluded through disuse. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the relationship between art, nature and the imagination.

I was priveleged to be visiting the San Francisco Modern Museum of Art during a showing of precisely the pieces in this book. Arneson was a California artist who was tremendously versatile. He did drawings, paintings and sculptures. If you ever want to see an artist's ego reflected in his/her work, this book is a must. Excellent quality photographs and some interesting insites to the artist. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore the area of self-portraits. Enjoy!

Peter Brown melds the diverging factors to cover the history of a very complex man. By setting Augustine in his time and place he effecively traces the impacts on Augustine's life, which profoundly affect his doctrines. Make no mistake, Brown is writing an acedemic history, not hagiography. The reader should expect a thorough discussion of history, philosophy and or course religion. The evenhanded nature of the work and its beautiful style are a lesson for all other writers of religious biography.

Peter Brown is like a very caring, scholarly and slightly eccentric tutor, of the type grown and revered in England's ancient universities. As a non-scholar on the subject of Augustine and his time, I approached this book wearily, expecting to be ignobly defeated by the middle of, say, chapter two. But such was not the case. My smattering about Augustine, about his Manichaeism, about his saintly mother, Monica, about his "Confessions" and about his conversion by St. Ambrose, all rusty remnants of a fine (but wasted) education, were revived and even rejuvenated by Mr. Brown. His words coaxed ancient neurons to make dendritic connections with their neighbors, so that towards the middle of this longish book I was dealing confidently with Fourth century institutions and had become familiar with some of the philosophical issues that plaged the early Christians. This is Brown:

"A stranger from the provinces [Augustine] would, of course, go to church to find a girl-friend, much as another stranger, the Genoese, Christopher Columbus, will meet his wife in Seville Cathedral."

And about Augustine's desire to seek his fortune as a rethoritian in Milan:

"He would have been like a Westernized Russian in the nineteenth century, established in Paris."

This ability to move back and forth in time to clarify his points is one of the many joys of reading Brown. He is also a master of the right anecdote and of the enlightening "obscure" fact. For instance, he tells us that in the Fourth century the image of Christ was that of a teacher, a philosopher. There were no crucifixes in the Fourth century, and the concept of the suffering Savior did not exist.

The book is as satisfying as a plentiful and well prepared meal, and like a meal, it is to be consumed slowly and respectfully. Brown makes you trust him about his deep knowledge of the years immediately preceding the sack of Rome and the fall of the empire. He does this, over and over, by his ease with the trivial details and by the depth with which he addresses the important ones. A very fine book for the reference shelf, to read once and to return to frequently.

Peter Brown has accomplished what a scholarly biography should: make us feel that we have come to enter the life and mind of the subject of the biography. Brown's chapters are relatively short and thus make reading this long book pleasurable because you can make identifiable progress in your reading. Brown also has copious citations to the works of Augustine for those who wish to track down a quote. In addition, he has added an epilogue that actually corrects the flawed judgments he made in the first edition over thirty years ago (this is a humility rare in academic circles). The epilogue also has a chapter on new writings of Augustine that scholars have uncovered since the first edition of his work. My only wish would have been for more theological exploration of the theme of predestination which is presented in a superficial manner. As a Catholic, I would also have preferred more explicit exploration of Augustine's relations with the popes of his time. But, all in all, Brown has written and updated a great biography that deserves its stature as the definitive biography of Augustine. I heartily recommend it.

This is a very readable text that essentially parallels and expands upon the LabView Users Manuals. If you have read through all or most of those manuals you may find yourself rapidly skimming through Bishop's book as nothing more than a refresher. Newbies will appreciate the simplistic step-by-step approach but anyone beyond the basics will likely be disappointed. BTW, you can download the related files from the LabView site to get an idea of the content.

This is a really great book! However, there is also a package of CD and book which I do not see offered here. The CD includes LabVIEW Student Edition. The referenced .vi's (virtual instruments) are available for download but, not the complete CD. I have been unable to locate the CD individually, only in bundled packages.

After reading all pages of this book and practicing all programs and exercises inside it within a few weeks, I become a proficient in Labview and I can develop any project easily. The only thing missing of this book is its CD which has all of the book examples, but one can download it from its official website without any problem. Overall this book is great for any one who is new in labview also for any one who doesnot have any programming skills and going to use it within his/her job.

I find the book very informative and easy to read. However, the book has a number of exercises that refer to a CD that ships with the book. I received no CD, so following some of the examples and performing the exercises can be quite difficult. If a CD is required, I suggest that it be included with the book.

Excelente para empezar con LabVIEW. Introduce al lector en forma gradual y con muchos ejemplos ya hechos y probados. Trata temas muy importantes a nivel superficial como procesamiento de señales. Es de fácil y rápida lectura. Lo recomiendo para un primer curso de LabVIEW.

This book takes you step by step from the beginning. A must for the beginning programmer and a good reference for the advanced programmer. I read it straight through and never got bored or confused.AWESOME!

Adrian Hastings, a Roman Catholic who at one time was active in the priesthood, has given us an informative, entertaining and valuable summation of the career of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Alexander Kennedy Runcie (1921-2000). The book details Runcie's education, his upbringing, his Anglo-Catholicism, and his attempts while at Canterbury to achieve a rapprochement with Rome. There is a section containing nine of Archbishop Runcie's more memorable sermons, on everything from the Resurrection to the Falklands conflict to the Queen Mum's birthday. Runcie's humour is evident from ample anecdotal evidence.

This book is also a chronicle of Runcie's attempt to navigate between the shoals of tradition and modernism, with especial attention to the impending go-ahead to the ordination of women (which occurred officially only during the enthronement of Dr Runcie's successor at Lambeth, Archbishop Carey). While wary of some of the more extreme manifestations o!f modernism, Runcie can do little to stop the changes, and is deplored for it in scathing terms by a former student turned critic, Gareth Bennett.

Hastings' tone is respectful toward his subject. His admiration for Dr Runcie is evident. However, the book is marred by seeming hastily put together, written in a breezy, occasionally sardonic tone, and blighted by several cantankerous and cranky references to the current Bishop of Rome, Pope John Paul II. Nonetheless, this reviewer, a non-Anglican eager to learn about one of Anglicanism's most prominent figures in the last quarter-century, found the biography to be, for the most part commendable. (Perhaps Jonathan Mantle's ampler biography, entitled "Archbishop," could be read in conjunction with Hastings' informative, but perhaps not definitive, portrait.)
