IF THE NAMES BIG BILL HAYWOOD, EUGENE DEBS, IGNATIUS DONNELLY, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, SOAPY SMITH SOUND FAMILAR, THEY ARE VERY FAMILAR TO DAVIS H. WAITE; a.k.a. BLOODY BRIDLES.

THE POLITICAL LIFE OF WAITE IS DOCUMENTED THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OF SOURCES.

THE BIOGRAPHICAL SEGMENT LACKS FOR SOME ACCURACY REGARDING FAMILY HISTORY DETAILS AND ANCEDOTES. THIS SITUATION WILL BE CORRECTED IN THE NEW BIOGRAPHY OF WAITE BY HIS GREAT-GRANDSON, FRANK S. WAITE .

This provided an excellent introduction to Jung for me (a lay person) but it could use a pointer to some follow-up at the end. It leaves the reader with the thought: "Where do I proceed from here?", directly into the mass of Jung's works?

This book is based on a lengthy taped series by Stein given at the Chicago Jung institute. The lectures are truly outstanding! Somehow, though, the book is only about 90% outstanding. That's still a strong recommendation! Stein is one of my favorites of the current generation of Jungian analysts. He also has a seminary degree, and (in true Jungian style) his best works focus on the psychology of religion. In this book, Stein intelligently explains many of the basic (and some not-so-basic) Jungian concepts. Even if you're familiar with these, Stein's perspective is worth examining. He has a number of unique things to say about some of these ideas.

The taped series is still available from the Chicago Institute, if you prefer audio. There's also another long audio series by Stein which is equally (if not more) profound---"A Psychological Interpretation Of The Bible." Much as I like Edward Edinger's Jungian books on Biblical themes, this other series by Stein is even better! Someday, hopefully, it will find its way into print.

...to Jung's often complicated thought. The description of the structure and dynamics of the Self was particularly clear and readable. Recommended. -- Craig Chalquist, M.S., creator of the Thineownself self-exploration site.

This book was very well written. It shows that when things happen, even unexpectedly, they happen for a reason. Though sometimes situations can be hurtful, they too have a reason for happening and "Blessings From the Heart" expresses that with the story of Clay and his family. This book emphasizes the importance of organ donation and how many people can benefit from just one person donating their organs, and shows how important our lives really are. Everyone can make a difference if they are just willing.

This story about a teenage boy is so timely in today's world. Life can be snuffed out in a second. Finding out how this life lived on in the lives of others should make organ donation a matter of discussion with families who read this book. Blessings From the Heart is a "must read" book for parents of children of any age.

Blessings from the Heart steps up to the plate. It makes you feel and it makes you think. Organ donation needs to be talked about. This book could be a great tool when discussing organ donation with a child.

This book is good if you are learning simplified chinese. I study traditional, so it is less useful. I like that they combine the characters and give their meaning, and all of the drills. I just wish they had a series of these kinds of books to get more advanced. After you finish this book what are you left with. Another few thousand characters.

I truly found the book useful and entertaining with its various subjects. The first half of the book is mainly reference material that you will constantly use throughout the rest of the book. After a while it becomes second nature which means the book has done its job.

You will build upon simple phrases and words to actual dialog and passages. I found this section to be great practice! I have no idea why this book is so unpopular when its so useful.

Moe Howard often said that Larry was probably the best actor out of all the Stooges. Few can deny Larry was the unsung Stooge who never got much of the spotlight from Moe, Curly, et al. This book, written by Larry's younger brother, traces the natural born entertainer's life from birth until his tragic death. I wouldn't call this hard hitting, as the author was not a professinal writer but a loving brother, thus many of Larry's financial problems due to gambling are glossed over. But I can forgive that. In an era of trashy, tell all celebrity books, this is a breath of fresh air. It's a quick read and loaded with photographs spanning the entire Stooges' career. This is a must have for any Stooge fan.

I have been watching the stooges since the late 50's, and have always liked Larry. I enjoyed watching his reactions to different situations. This book is enjoyable and pretty informative to boot. Larrys little brother Morris gives an insiders view of Larry, from early childhood to his untimely death in 74. If you are a stooges fan, then definately get this book, you will not be sorry you did. It is a welcome addition to my stooges library. Quick reading and lots of pictures, plenty of information . A must read for all stooges fans.

This book was ok at first but then it became a really boring book. Nothing really exciting happened. Except when Patrick fell and broke his arm. The author needs to be more excitng about things that have happend.Instead of finding a cashbox Omri should have found another action figure, like Buzz Lightyear and started using the cupboard way sooner.

Have you ever read the book The Mystery of the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks ?
Omri moves into a new house, that was an old relatives, because he died.He finds his great great great aunt Jessica Charlotties note book.Omri learns about Jessica Charlottie's whole life until she gets sick and dies.Omri thinks that his mothers key will fit in the cashbox he found.I think it's a good story about life.I think this is a good book to learn about elders and history.I think that this book would be a great gift. The book is very interesting. I would recommend this book to everyone.

I can remember buying and reading this book when it was first released, and that is was incredible. The story wraps up and utilizes so many aspects of Omri's life - from his relationship with his family to his friendship with Patrick - that it is the perfect ending to the "Indian in the Cupboard" series. A lot of the subject matter is much more serious than the previous books, especially in regards to the parts concerning Jessica Charlotte. It is these parts that make the book so incredible, as most readers will not be familiar with late 18th-century lifestyles. The romantic nature and thrill of Charlotte's story will captivate any young person who reads the book. I definitely reccomend "The Mystery of the Cupboard" and still hope that there will be another installment in the series one day.

The New York Review of Books called this book "a singularly valuable social document."
