If you need a crash course in proposal writing.... or want a marvelous resource book on the subject, this is it. It covers every topic - quickly, concisely and thoroughly - with loads of great graphics and charts. I have read dozens of books on the subject and this is, by far, the best I have come across to date!

I know three of the medical doctors (All members of the Osler Society) who assembled these choice selections uttered and (mostly) penned by Sir William Osler . . who seems to have felt strongly on only one controversial subject = that men seldom did any worthwhile creative work after age 40 and would do well to be "chloroformed" at age 60. Sir William died at age 70. The term "Internal Medicine" was coined in German-speaking Europe during Sir William's post-graduate training years there and he established the definition of the "specialty" at Johns Hopkins. The "specialty" has now out-lived its usefulness but our reverence for the man who contributed more than any other to the art and science of patient care obviously is being passed along to many young men and women who choose to be REAL PHYSICIANS.

This collection of Civil War letters has so many merits to make it a good read. The letters between the two brothers and their family were well written, reflecting their education as well as their aristocratic upbringing in the Old South and their strong family ties. They took part in many of the important engagements of the war, and were able to give very comprehensive descriptions, taking you right into the action of a battle, or charging your emotions to feel the exhilaration or trials or dejection they experienced. The eldest brother, Henry, was in the cavalry, riding with the 7th Virginia Cavalry and McNeill's Rangers. But it was Charles; serving in the infantry (later in the Medical Corps), who gives us a rare insight into how the horses fared in the war environment. Both brothers wrote of their faith in God and their prayers for each other. Don't miss this one, especially if you are a Civil War buff.

This book in its original edition was titled THE SECRET OF SHAKESPEARE. That title had problems, as the author acknowledged himself, in that it made people assume the book was about the identity of Shakespeare which it is not. This new edition has the new title - THE SACRED ART OF SHAKESPEARE - and is expanded as well. The first edition was about 140 pages and this new edition is over 200 pages, yet there are no new chapters. Lings starts out with a chapter on Shakespeare's 'Sacred Art'. He then continues with a chapter called Shakespeare's Outlook which contains much of the heart of what Lings has to say about the esoteric nature of Shakespeare's works. He then follows with surprisingly illuminating glosses on ten of the plays. It's in these short and well-written chapters that you realize you have found a very unusually enlightening and not run-of-the-mill 'Shakespeare' book. Mr. Lings' expositions of these plays does not fall into any predictable camp. In fact, what he does is really to bring the universal, underlying structure of the plays to light and on that to point the reader in the direction of where each play stands within that overall universal structure and what main characters represent in that structure as-well-as some of the dramatic points-of-interest and how they are often not seen or completely misunderstood by directors and actors, etc... This may give the impression that Mr. Lings seems to think he holds THE key to interpretation, yet what he has done is really just set the plays on their true foundations which are fundamental and universal, and from there one is able to interpret on up towards the sun if one likes... The ten plays discussed are: Henry IV, Hamlet, Othello, Measure for Measure, Macbeth, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest. He also says much, in passing, on Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream... There then follows a chapter called Notes on Performance and Production, and he ends the book with a chapter called, in the first edition, 'The Secret', and, in this new edition, 'The Mystery of Things'. It discusses further the esoteric elements in Shakespeare's art. A final note: for those reading this who think they know of all angles of approach in Shakespeare scholarship or pseudo-scholarship and have divined that this book in question is obviously another out-of-breath revelation from the Pythagorian, Platonic, Cabalistic, Hermetic, Illuminist, Rosicrucian, Alchemical, etc., etc., etc. side of things - think what you will and just walk on by... Shakespeare doesn't need any more scholars.

If you enjoy reading about the Kiowa tribe you'll love this book. It provides an interesting insight into the life of Chief Satanta (White Bear), his family and all those involved trying to bring peace between the Kiowas and the white man. It is also very informative about the Native Indian culture. My fastest read yet!

I was given this book when I was about 12 years old and have read it from cover to cover many times. It really opened my eyes to the fact that science is not just about the far reaches of space and deep sea studies, but that it is all around us. It examines hundreds of different ways that science can be part of our every day life. I have since gained a Masters in Chemistry and this book was one of the main reasons factor for my interest in science.

Very good review of internal medicine. the questions are well-written, reflecting not only classical clinical cases but also more complex ones. It helped me to better understand the content of "Color Atlas and Text of Clinical Medicine".

For fans of Tolkien, CS Lewis and Charles Williams, this is a must read. Urang does tremendous work as he relates these excellent writers to theology and religious teaching.
