Beautiful, inspiring, real
So many people are turning to faith since September 11, looking for reassurance, trying to find answers to hard questions. This remarkable book skips the banal platitudes; instead, it gave me real, solid guidance to begin to face those hard questions and try to make sense of it all. The variety and depth of this astounding collection of essays is breathtaking. I was astonished by how many different faiths are represented. Especially moving, to me, was a New York parish priest's account of ministering to victims. We also get to eavesdrop on the Beliefnet community as they helped each other cope in the days following the attacks; the personal interactions are riveting. Only Beliefnet could have created this book. This is a gift that truly will help us all rise "from the ashes."

awesome and inspiring
Picked this book up at an airport just before
my flight and was unable to put it down during
the entire flight! It is filled with healing
words, inspirational thoughts, and wisdom from
some of the greatest spiritual leaders of our
times, at a time when so many are desperately
seeking answers to questions regarding this
horrific tragedy against mankind. I strongly
recommend this book --- a must read for all of
us who care deeply about what happened to our
nation on September 11.

There is so much wisdom here.
I stumbled across beliefnet.com a few days after September 11 and found it to be full of much of the best and most insightful writing to be found anywhere. This book, which compiles many of the articles Beliefnet has published on the tragedy, demonstrates that the spiritual issues raised in the articles Ñ justice, evil, retaliation, even the very existence of God Ñ are not just timely. They are issues we are going to have to deal with over and over again. And this book is loaded with wisdom for anyone who is attempting to deal honestly with those issues.

The authors range from traditionalist Christians to Bishop John Shelby Spong, who argues that after September 11, we have to picture God in a different way than we ever have before. The ideas range from strong supporters of military response to the Dalai Lama and Bishop Tutu who counsel forgiveness. One of the most interesting pieces, for me, was Karen Armstrong's essay on Islam, comparing its attitude toward violence to that of Judaism and Christianity. There has been so much nonsense published on that subject over the past month. It was wonderful to read the insights of someone who understands and respects all three faiths.

The best thing about this book is that despite the range of opinions (which guarantees that every reader is going to find many ideas they disagree with), I did not find a single essay to be without merit. Even the ones I disagreed with all said things I felt I had to think about. There is no political or spiritual posturing here, but, in every case, an open and honest discussion of issues.

This is a beautifully written and important book for anyone who cares about spiritual issues.

Donald Davidson
Published in Hardcover by Twayne Pub (June, 1971)

Triumph of revision
Within this book, Mr. Young develops an essay around Donald Davidson's revision of his most famous poem, "Lee in the Mountains." Taking it from its first draft, titled "General Lee Remembers," Young shows how Davidson relied on the opinion of Allen Tate, and how he constantly looked to the poem as an unfinished work. The work, itself, is magnificent, but the story behind it is even better.

How did Wheeler do it?
By far the best introduction to Davidson's philosophy. It is amazing that Wheeler could pack, in less than 100 pages, both a description and a justification of so much of Davidson's life's work.

One of the things which makes Davidson's work hard to understand is that many of his theses are so bizzare and counterintuative. Here is where Wheeler's book shines--instead of just enumerating bizzare thesis after bizzare thesis, he makes a habit of stating a bizzare thesis and then ALSO stating a very cogent reason why we should believe it. These reasons are so carefully crafted and articulated that it really aids in understanding.


Veterinary Drug Handbook: Client Information

Don't practice without it.
This is the only book that I have that I use every single day!

Best drug handbook on the market!
I've had every edition of this drug handbook for about 10 years now, and I use it often. I've seen lots of "other" veterinary drug handbooks, but they pale in comparison to Plumb's. There's just the right amount of information here--not too much, not too little. Other handbooks seem relatively lacking in content.

great for vet students
I am a senior veterinary student and use this constantly on clinics. Its very helpful to look up medications that animals are already on and possible interactions with drugs you want to prescribe. Has drugs listed by generic and manufacturers names so they are quick to look up.
