James Brown has rendered the most complete categorization of the Cayce Readings I have seen in book form. Rather than having to plow through all the Readings, searching for tidbits of interest, his book allows the reader to pick a topic and go straight to it. He has done an excellent job of commenting on the Readings in ways that add insights into what, at times, can be the archaic language used by Cayce when in a trance.

James has combined the Readings in ways that create commentaries on topics such as a new world view, Christian spirituality, spiritual laws, abundant life, reincarnation, healing, and much more. GIVE GOD A CHANCE is an invaluable primer on the Cayce Readings. I highly recommend it to all who are truly interested in what the most scientifically verified intuitive in the world, Edgar Cayce, had to say.

This book asks almost all of the questions that most people ask about the Cayce readings, and answers them with direct quotes from the readings. Chapters about science vs. religion, applied spirituality, and world transformation can almost stand alone, but the patient reader will find them tied together with a Christian world view that avoids denominationalism or negativity towards other religions. Soul growth is a central theme. Spirituality is defined not so much in terms of any particular practices, but in expressing love for God and all of mankind.

"Give God a Chance" is full of Cayce readings that often paraphrase passages from the Bible. The advice on meditation, dream analysis, psychology, and other concepts all encourage spiritual growth from a Christian perspective. Ministers and theologians, who might be inclined to reject Cayce's work because of things said or written by others, should read this book to see firsthand what the readings say. This book is inspirational and informative. A "must read".

Good for everyone who ever wanted to tell someone just how much they love them. Kind and loving, it's a sentiment that everyone should want to share with a loved one- child, sibling, parent, friend or whatever. There is no way you'll feel bad after reading this book..

Elizabeth Hickey's nationally award winning video "Children: The Experts on Divorce" contains a scene where a little boy is asked, "So what do you think parents should say to their children when they're going through divorce?" The young man, without hesitation, replies, "They should just tell them that they love them." Armies of mental health practitioners, divorce lawyers and judges know from their experience the wisdom of that little boy's advice.

Elizabeth Hickey's new book, I Love You More Than . . ., offers a beautiful way to deliver this message of love and caring. The story is a conversation between a little girl and her father, part real and part imagined. The photographs, illustrations and text combine to create a moving and powerful message of love between a parent and child.

The book is cleverly constructed to be universally applicable since the family structure of the characters is ambiguous. While father speaks of his love for his daughter, the message is acknowledged "from Mommy, too." The story does not state whether the parents are together, separated, unmarried, married or divorced.

It was heart-warming to share this book with my eleven year old son, Mark. Here are Mark's comments:

The story I Love You More Than . . . walks you through a little girl's dream about how much her father loves her. The beautiful illustrations contribute to the story greatly by giving the reader a picture of the child's wonderful dream. I thought that the photographs were adorable. They reminded me of when I was a toddler and my parents read stories to me. I think that all children and adults will find this story inspiring and touching to the heart.

Unlike fairy tales, this story makes the child whose parents read them this book feel that their parents really love them. I am sure that all kids would enjoy having this book read to them as much as I did. This book is sure to be a classic bedtime favorite.

Mark's responses reflect those of other children and adults who have encountered this book. I Love You More Than . . . conjures warm memories of the best parts of the reader's relationship with his or her parents. These combine in such a positive and gentle way to melt the heart of all parents and help them share the warm glow of their parental love with their children. This book is a treasure. The world is a better place because it is available.

This is a magical book that will take both parent and child on a lovely journey reminding them both of the love they have for each other. The illustrations are done in wonderful detail and will provide lots of opportunity for conversation and expectation during subsequent readings. It is sure to become a favorite with many, especially the Daddy/Daughter combination. I have sent copies to each of my young grandchildren and they all love it!

Somebody Prayed For Me, by Reverend James "J.B." Brown is an awesome testament to the power of the Holy Spirit. All God asks is that individuals are available, and He will make them capable. Rev. Brown is a true reflection of this statement. His easy to read and understand book of Conversations in Life and Healing is a wonderful testimony to God, to self and to the numerous people who will undoubtly be touched by this remarkable book. They say you "can't judge a book by it's cover", this one you can. You get 112 power packed pages. Rev. Brown has even made it simple to take notes providing a clipboard for reflections and questions. If you are looking for a true to life depection of a man led by the Spirit you won't want to miss "Somebody Prayed For Me."

This book was written by a truly gifted individual. God has annointed him to share the word, and he does it non-stop. The book sheds light in a way that you wouldn't believe. Scriptures that you memorized as a child come alive with JB's personal stories and interpretation. This is a must read for all ages and levels of faith.

This book is inspirational and full of life's lessons from the eyes of the author. Rev. "JB" Brown is extremely talented and has a wonderful way with words that hits the heart hard with love. Anyone who has lived life awhile will appreciate and enjoy the way he passionately ministers and brings to life the scriptures as we see and apply them to everday life situations. This book is a must have for your library and would be loved by anyone who receives it as a gift for the holidays!

I have used this book for years as my gardening bible. I have an edition with a foreward signed by James Bush-Brown and Louise Bush-Brown in Ambler Pennsylvania, September 1957. I'm glad to see the book has been updated, but what amazes me is that the older version is still so useful. Just this morning I looked up 'Hyssop' because I planted one in the back of my herb bed. The entry read, "P; 18-24" Seed: medicine, perfume, food -- Sunny; ordinary garden soil, not too rich. Prefers lime." This entry (in Chapter IX, The Herb Garden) told me the plant was a pernnial, would not overshadow my other plants, and would grow well in my herb garden which is laced with lime.

This book is succinct, useful, and too heavy to carry to bed for nighttime reading.

If I were stranded in a strange garden and could pick only one gardening book to take along, this would be the one. It's loaded with detailed information on all aspects of gardening, including photos and suggestions of exactly which species and varieties will work best in which situations. This is such a comprehensive effort that it's now possible to whittle your gardening library down to one volume and still be able to look up an answer to whatever question's bugging you.

This is an absolutely delightful story. One of the authors best. This book is truly appropriate for all ages. Really little ones will love the pictures and older children will warm to the story. Any adult will enjoy reading this to the kids over and over.

My daughter brought this book home from her school library - We read it together. Christmas time I always purchase a "favorite" book for her & her brother - this one will fits the bill nicely!!

Plant growth habit and culture notes are all too rare in succulent and cacti volumes. This expertly assembled book captures the succulent plants at their optimum phase and accurately records botanical names and growth requirements. I also utilize to accurately identify plants that I use to create living succulent wreaths. The section of 'Bringing the Desert Indoors' is a welcome invitation to indoor gardeners every where to enjoy these sculptural beauties year around.

One of few books dealing with gardening in the dry southwestern climates. Most of the book is devoted to "Plant Selector" which describes the plants, hardiness, cultivation needs, etc. Other sections deal with "Garden Design", "Techniques" (cultivation etc.), and, " Special Conditions." If you have one book on succulent gardening, this should be it.

Nearly a decade ago my colleague Bill Drury and I ran into each other in the hall, each of us waving this book & on the way to give it to the other. We had both been teaching out of endless stacks of xeroxes of xeroxes because neither of us had any time for conventioal textbooks. Bless Real & Brown for putting together not only some really key papers but also intelligent thoughtful commentary by some of the leading lights in the field. I have used the book ever since it came out & my students find it a valuable resource to take off to grad school. I must admit that while the selection is lovely there ARE some missing pieces & the xeroxes of xeroxes haven't altogether disappeared, but this is far and away the best out there to date. So, when can we expect the 2nd addition?

there are not many books on the theoretical background of ecology available, yet. hence, "foundations of ecology" is a valuable contribution to the discussion on ecological (self-)identity. not only are the papers selected of great importance on their own, the additional introductory sequences also succeed to put pieces together, to display the broad horizont and context, in which they ought to be understood, and show the contemporary view of historical scientific work. a lot of my personal theoretical considerations would have been impossible without information and motivation this book offered.

Network Interrupts is not only a companion of PC Interrupts or an ordinary reference, it is a more than complete and comprehensive collection of the network-related interrupt calls which have been implemented by various networking software over the years. It is a fact that the probability of conflict between different programs increases and hundreds of software vendors have extended the basic set of services in often incompatible ways. Nobody could write a better book, as a tool to help you track down undesirable interactions between various programs running on the same PC, than Ralf Brown & Jim Kyle. Every detail is well documented especially on the most important parts marked as "undocumented" or "internal". On this point you can find enough specific warnings for a better understanding. I recommend this book for every programmer's bookshelf!

This book contents the biggest collection of information about interrputs on the PC and interrupts for the Network. I self founded a valuabe information about Banyan vines and CDROM. It is my first time, that I use the AMAZON.com. I find this virtually Bookstore GREAT! Fabulous, only the best one. This bookstore has all that I searched!. And I think the prices are very interesting. Bye

I have always wanted to go to Sweden. I started learning Swedish when I was 14, and I started a pen-pal friendship with a Sweden at the same time. When I was 21 I finally made a trip to Sweden (March 2002) for 2 weeks and I used the May 2002 edition of this book.

I spent my time in three cities: Stockholm, Umeå, and Skellefteå. Most guidebooks that I looked at covered the south of Sweden quite well at the expense of the North. This guidebook used 25% of its space to write about the two largest cities and 60% to write about the rest of Sweden. (The remaining 15% of the book deals with formalities of getting to/into Sweden, language, food, etc.)

The section on Stockholm was fantastic, and since the chapter was organized based on each island or section of the city, it was very easy to read. You could plot out which part of the city you wanted to visit each day with ease. The book specifies open/close times very well (although you always double check). As someone traveling in the winter, I appreciated that fact! Some guidebooks don't list the months that something is open!

Whereas some guidebooks have 2 paragraphs on Umeå and Skellefteå, this one had 6 and 3, respectively. The cities are described well and the information is as much as you'll probably need.

Another nice feature is that the guide features fairly detailed information about getting to/from each city, even the small ones.

The third section of the book, about history, food, money, language, etc was well laid out, and the history section was as complete as most general tourists would want it.

The book caters to a variety of tourists as it lists a wide (very wide) variety of accomodations, restaurants, activities, and methods of travel. Other guidebooks aimed at "poor college students" seem to cover mostly pubs and nightclubs at the expense of museums. Guidebooks aimed at the "one trip to Europe in a lifetime let's use all of our stock earnings" books seem to cover hotels at the expense of hostels. This book covers both.

Overall, a very good buy.

Sweden is a wonderful travel destination. It is beautiful country that manages to be both very tranquil and very dynamic. However, like most Americans, I was totally ignorant about Sweden. In fact, I don't think I would ever have gone there if I hadn't found this book in the public library. It got me interested enough to spend a few weeks in Sweden, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely go back!

The book was very detailed and accurate, and went well beyond the average travel guide in the level of interesting detail about almost everything you could possibly encounter in Sweden. Although the book was published in 1997 and I went in 1999, most of the hotel and restaurant information was still accurate. The book also provides a good introduction to the history and culture of Sweden.

I throughly enjoyed reading this book, about a country which so little is understood, I baffled as to why nobody has discovered this fancisating guide to a wonderfully exciting, beautiful country. It's a must that you visit the beautiful,wonderous, exciting, young and vibrant and little known cities in northern europe Stockholm. Stockholm has been described as the "The Venice of the North". But Stockholm is far more beautiful, spacious, less crowded but best of all it has 24,000 islands in it's archipalego to discover. Don,t take my word for it GO!

In the spring of 1865, Major General James H. Wilson and 14,000 Union cavalry troops destroyed key Confederate industrial facilities in what had been, until then, relatively unscathed areas of Alabama and Georgia. Yankee Blitzkrieg: Wilson's Raid Through Alabama And Georgia is a vividly reconstructed account tracing Wilson's lightning run south and places the campaign within the larger context of the last days of the Civil War. Historian James Jones describes in detail the strategic background of the raid, covers the raid from both sides, and notes the economic significance of the industrial facilities destroyed. Jones' description of Wilson's capture of Jefferson Davis is the standard interpretation of what happened when Davis was taken by Union forces. Yankee Blitzkrieg is superb reading for Civil War buffs and students of Civil War history.

Yankee Bltizkrieg is one of the most enlightening studies of Wison's raiders in their finest hour. The book follows Wilson and his men from rain drenched northern Alabama to a triumphant capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Irwinville, Georgia. It explores how Wilson effectively moved over 12,000 men for over 500 miles in the span of about a month. A feat which would have made Guderian proud! It is a must for Civil War enthusiasts and military strategist
