Written expressly for young adults, this book offers a synthesis of information on love and sex. This book is actually about the cycle of love from birth to death, all written from a Christian perspective.

This book is a great tool for us gals who want to understand what the heck our "football guys" are talking about and what the heck goes on in a football game. The author presents football basics in a simple, easy to understand way and throws in some humor as well with chapter titles like "Did he just touch his butt?" and even a chapter about cheerleaders entitled "Who are those bimbos on the sidelines?" There's even a section about super bowl party essentials. Highly recommended!

When I first read this book in the seventies, it literally blew my mind and opened up new worlds for me: the unique transformative power and deeper spiritual dimensions of man-woman love; a world view by a man who deeply understands mathematics, philosophy and science and points the way out of the narrow cultural paradigm we live in to the boundless expanse of the Spirit; the way our culture, tracing back primarily to the Greek and Hebrew cultures, was misdirected from the start by orienting itself on the male principle alone, and how this basic flaw is an important contributor to our headlong rush to self-destruction; the tricks reductionist philosphy and science play to conceal how we ourselves have narrowed down our world. And, last but not least: gripping, thought-provoking poetry which leads us to an intuitive understanding of these same truths.

Now after 25 years I have re-read it and gotten even more out of it than the first time! A hidden pearl of a book which I am gong to give many people I love to help them open up their perspectives.

Mason Brown has done it again. Normally his witty talents are left to such magazines as Shwing and Maxim, but this time they're showcased in a hilarious send up of the business world's current manifesto. The book is hilarious and intelligent. If you liked, "Who Moved my Cheese?" you'll love, "Who Cut the Cheese?" Finally, a book that shows the true mindset of corporate America. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll buy it for all your friends.

Mason Brown's "Who Cut the Cheese?" is a hilarious book depicting corporate America in its truest light. The book is wonderfully funny! I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't resist buying more copies to send to my friends and relatives. It's a great stocking stuffer if you like funny gifts.

Who Moved the Cheese is ripe for a parody. I've only read a little bit of the original, but Mr. Brown's book is devastating and funny. I'm surprised that someone let him get away with it. People don't write books like this anymore.

An Abundant Life is both a pleasent, nostalgic read, and a profoundly insightful book. The life of Hugh B. Brown is one of remarkable faith and dedication, not to mention sacrifice, to the Church to which he belonged. But it was the mind and spirit of the man that drew people to him, and that spirit would be welcome in today's church. The final chapter of the Memoirs, entitled "A Final Testimony" is a most beautiful statement regarding the importance of individual members using the power of their minds in discerning truth for themselves, rather than relying on the words of their leaders. Further, his was a mission of compassion, not personal agrandizement. He measured the merits of both his politics and his religion on how well they treated the poor. If all members of the church thought as he did, there indeed would be room for everyone...

Hugh B. Brown was a member of the First Presidency of the LDS church during the 1960's under President David O. McKay. This was an explosive time for the church and the world but President Prown was a steadying hand. His warmth and depth of thought come across well in this memoir which was assembled after his death by his grandson, Edwin D. Firmage. President Brown said, "One of the most important things in the world is freedom of the mind; from this all other freedoms spring. Such thinking is necessarily dangerous, for one cannot think right without running the risk of thinking wrong, but generally more thinking is the antidote for the evils that spring from wrong thinking." His legacy of tolerance and charity is important, and is brought to vivid life in this book.

attempts to define a seemingly simple word: difference. In a pre-chaotic sea of jello where all worlds are possible, the emergent world that does follow is determined by the first distinction. Brown attempts to trace this initial severance and chart its after development. Eschewing the Aristotlean "A is not non-A" in favor of the more useful definition of distinction as "perfect continence," Brown goes on to enunciate two axioms 1) the value of a call made again is the value of the call, and 2) the value of a crossing made again is not the value of the crossing. From these, the book flows. Backwards it flows to pre-kindergarten conceptions of number, order, and eventually difference itself. On the way he solves the self-referential paradox by positing the existence of four distinct classes: true, false, meaningless and imaginary. The last of these has recently produced breakthroughs in software logic applied to virtual reality paradoxes. George Boole would have peed his pants over the motherlode of this book that finally offers the arithmetic of the algebra that still bears Boole's name. An incisive appendix "the Calculus applied to logic" renders university texts on sentential logic redundant. A similar achievement renders Bertrand Russell's theory of types (along with a chunk of Principia Mathematica) into a cocked hat...as Russell himself acknowledged in 1967. The idea paintakingly iterated in Laws of Form led to a significant patent for a device that counts entirely by logic, with switches only, and with no artificial time delays, an enormous energy gain in iteration-fraught engineering disciplines. (For validation of this, see Colin Johnson's website on analog computing). Dry wit and a delightsome British humor spice the endnotes, numerous appendices, and prescient forewords.

A case of desirability equaling high price? Obviously. And someone is cashing in on the required reading status of this small gem of a book. I read it when you could buy it for about $8. That was back in 1975. And its retail value has increased 10-fold in 20 years? A testimony to its desirability.

FLATLAND, written in the 19th century, was influential in describing geometry. LAWS OF FORM does the same for arithmatic.

Spencer-Brown's articulation of the Laws of Form is of the same order of magnitude as Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

I have been reading and re-reading this book for more than 20 years. In full, at least 8 times. Countless "hits" to review specific ideas.

Reviewers here who have panned LOF might be right in thinking that my appreciation for this work is based on what I have read into it, not what it contains intrinsically.

On my first reading, I was perplexed and somewhat disappointed ("That's it?") But I felt that it deserved a second, more deliberate reading. I'm not a mathematician, but my fourth reading was assisted by conversations with a professional scholar of logic systems. And by my fourth reading I was better prepared to appreciate the subtlety and power of LOF.

The concepts regarding time as a function of memory (instead of the reverse) still awe me.

If I could only take three books with me (to Mars, to the future, to the past), LOF would be the *first* that I grabbed.
