I had to purchase this book for my english course, but after only two weeks of reading and discussion I feel such an empowerment by the selections. I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite author because each one is represented so uniquely by their stories. After my class is over, I look forward to sitting down and reading those that were not assigned and re-reading those icons of society that were picked by my professor. If you want a short introduction to various famous authors then this is definitely a book you will enjoy!

Lots of information...easy to read...beneficial to any astrologer!

Introduction to Business Statistics by Kvanli is a really useful, clear, didactic classic directed to statistical application to many fields - including research in improbable areas as mine, uniting architecture and psychology. I strongly recommend it to the young researcher as an all encompassing introduction to statistics thinking.

_Jung and Christianity in Dialogue: Faith, Feminism, and Hermeneutics_ is a rich and diverse collection of writings, from some of the foremost authors in the fields of religion and psychology. This companion volume to _Carl Jung and Christian Spirituality_ explores the relationships between Jungian psychology and Christian traditions in new and illuminating ways. It includes some of the finest articles yet contributed to this dialogue, organized into four different sections: "Jung and Theology" discusses Jung and Christian faith; "Jung, Feminism, and Spirituality" presents feminist critques of Jungian psychology; "Jung and Hermeneutics" explores Jung's interpretive approach to Christian scripture and theology; and "Jung and Pastoral Care" looks at the application of Jung's psychology for the parish minister and pastoral counselor.

I have been in the music business for over 10 years. I've
read several books on the music business. When I heard about this new book called Making It In The Music Business:The Insider Secrets, I felt that I had to read this book. The first thing that I notice was that this book was written by musicians, not an attorney, like most of the other music books that are out there. The book broke down how hit songs are written, how often an artist is paid, what percentage the artist/writer's are paid, a business plan, and much, much more!!! This book is a must read by all musicians, artist, and performers. -Christina Mcnair

This small paperback is highly readable, interesting and well researched. I regularly rely upon the arguments and documentation inPolicy and Practice to make the case for the field of social work to better prepare students to work in the challenging field of criminal and juvenile justice. All the chapters in this text are up-to-date and persuasive. Were I teaching a course in forensic social work,this book would be my first choice.

Hopcke and Carrington have edited a groundbreaking collection of articles exploring the vicissitudes of same sex love.

Suelflow dedicated a life to the history of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. He is now also is the author of the definite biography of one of (if not the greatest) Lutheran of America's short history.

Walther was such a leader of Lutheranism in America. While other capitualte to the new spirit of American Christianity and give into all kinds of cultural pressures, Walther maintained his faith. As he did in Germany, he came to this country to be able to freely worship and preach without governmental pressure.

Suelflow gives many insights into this man used so highly by God to Serve His Word. Remarkable in its entirey is the sermon Walther preached at the dedication of the Seminary in St. Louis in 1883, here for the first time translated into English. Much is still so pertinent and applcable for today: "In this house the doctrine of the Reformation is not to be reformed again, but guarded and defended." "In short, the so-called Lutheran church in our land was at that time dead, the laughing-stock of the sects who, similarly to hungry birds of the night, dividied the carcass among themselves." "When our Synod took to the field at that time with the unheard of watchword "God's Word and Luther's doctrine pure shall to eternity endure," it was not only the anti-Christian papacy, not only the syncretistic, unionistic evangelical fellowship, not only the fanactical sects but especially all the elements of the so-called Lutheran church in this country which attacked our Synod with the greatest bitterness as a new "old Lutheran" sect, which would lead to ruin."

Wonderful section on (as Suelflow describes it) "a favorite myth in synodical history is that the so-called "autoonomu" paragraph has been a part of the Synod's consititution ever since the founding of the Synod in 1847" he shows to be just that, a myth. Also, is Walther's continual efforts for concord among Christians, especially American Lutherans and his output of work, especially publications.

Destined to be the classic on this great American Lutheran.
