Agent Larsen and Agent Larsen produce a comprehensive database for tracking the network connections established by Matrix Meister, Joseph Campbell in upgrading the virtual reality of daily existence for current generations of citizen believers. Agents Larsen and Larsen provide a compelling and vivid account of Campbell's genius in reformatting the work of earlier master technicians such as Meisters Plato, Paul, Augustine and Eckhart, in maintaining viability of the First Principle of Matrix Management: that the self and its passions must be transcended for the attainment of ultimate bliss. In formulating this upgrade version of the First Principle, Larsen and Larsen carefully document the development of Campbell's ties with Robert Bly, John Cage, Maya Deren, Bob Dylan, Mircea Eliade, Jerry Garcia, Marija Gimbutas, Stanislav Grof, Joan Halifax, Jean Houston, Al Huang, Carl Jung, Sam Keen, Stanley Keleman, Jiddu Krishnamurti, George Lucas, Paul & Mary Mellon, Michael Murphy, Bill Moyers, Swami Nikhilananda, John Steinbeck and Alan Watts, along with institutions that include the Bollingen Foundation, Esalen, the Young President's Organization and the United States Information Service. A remarkable achievement, even Morpheus concedes, despite being largely facilitated, as Agents Larsen and Larsen record, by the estate of industrial/financial magnate Andrew Mellon. AI Central is honoring Agents Larsen and Larsen with benevolent termination. The forthcoming generation of Sentinels will be known as the Meister Campbell. A must read for all novice agents.

An excellent book. The contents of this book made for some of the most interesting reading I have ever done. This will be a treasured hardcover book on my shelves for the rest of my life. Campbell not only taught us during his life, but is stepping over the threshold of time to continue teaching us lessons on what life can hold for those who are willing to follow their Bliss. I have only felt this strongly about a book a dozen times in my life. As for availability, business has never had enough vision and foresight to make available what feeds ones soul. Have this book reprinted for yourself if you can't purchase it!

You state that this book is out of stock. Boarders got it for me in three days.

Steve Wood's, "Christian Fatherhood" has had a continuing and growing influence on me. Having been married fourteen years, my wife and I have had our share of challenges. The wisdom and charity within this book has helped me be a more loving husband, a better father and has given me the confidence to teach my faith to my children.

Steve Wood and James Burnham have hit the nail on the head. They have identified the critical areas where fathers become either successes or failures. If you're a young father and want to know how to be a great father - this is the book for you. If you're an old father - and want validation for what you did right and identification for where you went wrong - this is the book for you.

The critical areas they deal with involve devotion to God, to Church, and to family. They show how to love and be faithful to your wife. They show how to love your children, and it's spelled T-I-M-E. They show the necessity of rightly ordering family life so that it aims at more than this family's life.

Having observed both Mr. Wood and Mr. Burnham's families, I can say that they practice what they preach and their children (while giving the struggles to their parents that is ordinary) are happy, healthy, and holy. The happiness of their wives and the marvels that are their childrens are astoundingly powerful testimonies of the truth they speak in this book.

FACT: Four out of ten American children will go to bed tonight in a home without their fathers (Blankenhorn, David, Fatherless America, 1995).

FACT: About 90 percent of single-parent homes are without a father. (U.S. Bureau of the Census, "Poverty in the U.S.: 1992")

FACT: Seventy percent of long-term prison inmates come from homes where the father wasn't present. ("Family Values Gain Control," The Wall Street Journal, December 12, 1995, p. A6)

So go the statistics...Drawing from the Bible and works such as Pope Pius XI's, Christian Marriage (Casti Connubii), Pope Paul VI's, Of Human Life (Humanae Vitae), and John Paul II's, The Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World (Familiaris Consortio) and Letter to Families, former Protestant minister turned Catholic, Steve Wood, offers 8 practical commitments that fathers can make to ensure they will leave a positive, lasting mark on their children and their children's children.

Wood takes the "Eight Commitments of the St. Joseph Covenant Keepers" and goes into much greater depth on them than he has in his audiotapes or brochures. Those commitments include: - Affirming Christ's Lordship Over Our Families - Following St. Joseph, the Loving Leader and Head of the Holy Family - Loving Our Wives All Our Lives - Turning Our Heart Toward Our Children - Educating Our Children in the Discipline and Instruction of the Lord - Protecting Our Families - Providing for Our Families - Building Our Marriages and Families on the "Rock"

Wood effectively uses Scripture, secular statistics, and papal encyclicals to provide practical things that fathers can do to build solid marriages and secure families. The book shows how desperately fathers are needed in a world which seems to say that they are not.

Any father wondering how he can raise a faithful family needs to own a copy of this book.

Is how we refer to this book also. It covers all of the basics, gives tons (tonne?) of useful info in an organized manner with many useful references to get someone started in almost any aspect of biofiltration. well done.

This book has been nicknamed the "Bible of Biofiltration" with due cause. It is an excellent resource for the novice and experienced alike. It is written by three well-respected and experienced leaders in the biofilter field. It contains an excellent review of the fundamental science and the practical design as well as giving numerous examples of applications throughout the world. It is "a must have" for anyone who is in need of an reference book on biofiltration.

A young lad is inspired to draw ships by a challenge from his friend's mother - this developed into a life-long passion and in this book we see the results of that passion. 91 exquisitely-drawn pictures of historic craft from the 13th to the 19th Century are just part of this man's production - would that we could see more.
The detail is amazing; all the stays, halliards, sheets and braces are all in the correct positions; the rake of masts, type of tops, position of gunports etc. is accurate. All this is the result of years of travel and visits to museums, libraries and naval archives, in order to portray the heyday of sail as accurately as possible.
Arranged on facing pages, text by Stephen Howarth on the left, drawing on the right, this is the best collection I have seen in print.
Much of the early data is lost so the drawings of those ships must necessarily be educated guesswork, but generally speaking, if it looks right, it IS right ... and these do look right.
It is fairly unusual to see orthoganal views, normally they are side-on, but a good portion of Mr.Wheatley's drawings show the vessel in 3/4 profile, which gives a much better view of the whole aspect of the ship.
A pricey book, but a delight to the eyes and an inspiration to the amateur artist or modeller.

If you are a just lover of Historic Tall Ships and especially if you are a serious Model Shipwright, this book is a must! The *large* pictures and historic details, make this book well worth the price. ...and the price here is a deal. I bought this book when it came out for the full price and don't feel I've missed out not getting it for the lower price here. I promise you, you will enjoy this book forever!

Stanislavski in Rehearsal has been the most influential work that I have come across in regards to developing my craft. The book spells out the Method of Physical actions, which was what KS was working on when he passed away. This work also disgards/de-empasis some teaching in his earlier work, like emotion memory. This is a must read for all actors, escpecially one's who are interested in the work of Stanislavski.

This is a good book. Buy it, specially if you're tired of the mumbo jumbo that is being taught under the name of Stanislavski by the so-called "Stanislavski experts."

I highly recommend this read to anyone interested in WWII or anyone who has experienced it. I'm 32, and I learned a lot about the war that our grandparents didn't like to talk about. The letters that Mr. and Mrs. Lane left behind are true treasures. It was like the letters were being wrote to me. Very romantic, emotional, sad at parts and happy at most. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast, just so I could find out what was happening next. You'll laugh, cry, and WON'T be abole to put it down. This makes a great gift for anyone. I bought one for my grandmother, and she loves it! My grandfather was in the war, and I know she can really relate to it. ENJOY!!

Generally using a question/answer format,Barr shows that the Bible has many contradictions in it. Both testaments frequently have more than one account of an event.For example,"What method was used in loading the animals into Noah's ark?" 2 of every kind Gen 6.19 and by sevens Gen 7. "Who was Christ's father?" gives us 3 Biblical answers: God Matt 1;18;Joseph Matt 13;55; and First begotten of the dead Rev.1:5. Barr cites hundred of examples of contradictions or multiple versions of the incident. Excellent book for people not committed to the inerrancy of the Bible.A real eye-opener to what the KJV actually says.

Okay, take Ordinary People, but have the perfect son disappear, make the surviving black sheep son a little younger, then follow his life for 9 years, but also shift the emphasis of the novel to the horrid mother. Throw in a major lesbian character, just to lock up the Oprah endorsement, and since it is the 1990's, tack on a few media feeding frenzy elements. Then bring the dead kid back in a totally contrived plot twist and you've pretty much got this novel.

Ms Mitchard is a good writer and the story is somewhat compelling--in particular, you sort of want to know what happened to the missing son (the solution proves pretty perfunctory) and you mildly root for the surviving son. But, especially when the missing boy comes back, you have to ask yourself: "Wasn't he better off away from this repellent mother?" And this is a real weakness in the book. If you want us to feel some empathy for Beth, you can't have our first impression of her be her telling her husband, unconcerned that the boys might hear her, that she only loves her baby daughter. And then, when we're supposed to be feeling her pain later, you might want to drop the scene where she boinks her high school boyfriend, with its pretty clear implication that she was so set on getting into his pants at the reunion that she didn't care where Ben went.

In the end, I just disliked Beth so much that I did not care what happened to her and hoped that the whole family would escape her malignant clutches.

GRADE: C-

This book was not easy to read, as the main character, Beth, was hard to like. But it is a satisfying story, and Mitchard captures the pain and suffering associated with the disappearance of a child. I do not have children, yet I was deeply disturbed by her description of the events surrounding the kidnapping and subsequent search for Ben.
The theme that I found most interesting was that ultimately, Reese/Vincent was the 'lost' child, due to his family's inability to cope with the events surrounding Ben's disappearance. Ben/Sam was truly loved and nurtured in his formative years, while Reese/Vincent was neglected, thus leading to his antisocial behavior later in life.
Maybe the anger at the treatment of Reese/Vincent and Kerry is the basis for the negative reviews other readers have posted.

This book really moved me. It was painful to get through but very much worth it. The reader expects the mother - Beth - to fall apart when her child is kidnapped, but as the bad months turned to years, I wanted to reach into the book and shake Beth - to tell her to wake up and work harder at being a mother to her remaining, suffering children. As time went on I saw her less and less a victim and more as a fragile (selfish?) mother who simply gave up on her family. Vincent was the true victim and his chapters throughout the book were the parts that brought me to tears many times. And rare is the book that can do that! Forget the typo's... spellcheck doesn't check for correct words used incorrectly (right vs. write) - Editors don't use real people to check manuscripts anymore - blame them. Her writing is excellent when it comes to conveying feelings and this book is one big emotional rollercoaster. If you're a mom, read it with a box of kleenex.

...First off it just costs too much...
It's not 128 pages like it says on the webpage and it's not good at all. Second, they use like 14 point double space font so that their book would have more pages and look better. Then, for the first like 40 pages they basically just copy info from the manual that you get with the game. Whenever they try to explain something it doesnt make any sense. No strategies on how and where to use specific cars. People wanna know "Minion's" secrets, but do they tell you those? NO! Nothing! Most info they give you there you can find yourself by just playing the game. The only thing I used their manual for was to find some of the black cubes and axel. Everything else I found myself. There not enough pictures, not enough info - not enough stuff to pay 2 bucks for it.

the twisted metal:black srategy guide is not a very helpful book if u ask me. when u read to find out where secrets r, yeah they tell u but it dont make sence. the only thing i used the book for was to find the hidden characters, i pretty much found axel, and manslaughter on my own, but the rest i used the book. the book even says that minion has secrets, but its a strategy guide they should at least ell u how to find them!

I don't know why the layout people at Prima seem to think that every page has to be saturated wall-to-wall with all kinds of dark colors and graphics. Combined with the funky fonts and goofy layouts, it's hard to read, and the maps (which to me are key) are a fuzzy, low-contrast mess that don't convey any information about the exact locations of key items/areas, no indication of the 3D natures of the terrain (like where walls are, or where "one-way" jumps are, etc.) It also offers little in the way of strategy per level as different vehicle types, and virtually no information about the nuances/strategies of playing as the different vehicles.

No cheat codes are offered, nor any indication of what you can expect to unlock for doing certain things. It'd be so easy to do one of these right, if they'd take the time. Personally, I just want useful info that's clear, complete, and easy to find, and not some "xtreme", over-the-top graphic-heavy fluff. I'm sure if they took the time to ask, even the younger audience would agree.
