This sweet and gentle book follows a young boy through one night of dreams. You see, in his dreams he can fly...! It is a simple tale, but fanciful and comforting. I bought a copy for a friend with children. She said that they complained when she started reading it to them because it is small, not brightly colored, and Maurice Sendak's artwork is fairly sophisticated in pen and ink. But when she insisted that they stop half way through... such pleading to continue! May you, too, have such troubles.

I looking for that book t o learn more about forrages, seed time ,fetilizer, managment end others. I live in south Brazil, my special attention is : Clovers, raygras clover boll ,ususali on our place. Thanks for your attention.

Any fan of Foucault or Blanchot should greatly appreciate these two short homages. Maurice Blanchot was originaly a literary critic who later wrote fictions, philosophical essays, and unusual hybrids of the two. A contemporary and friend of Levinas, his work has had a huge impact on post WWII literature and continental philosophy. With astonishingly articulate language (as translated by Massumi), Foucault offers both a insightful commentary on Blanchot and an idea of what means to exit in the space of writing fiction. It is difficult to categorize Foucaults writing;perphaps he is best known as a writer who encouraged a modified (archealogical) method of examining history, and using this method prolifically wrote social/cultural/philosophical commentary. Blanchot writes on Foucaults writing with clarity and appreciation. If you are unfamiliar with these authors, this book makes for a good introduction; these writers may change the way you think, and you should read more. If you know these authors then you should definitely sympathize with the homage aspect: it's a great quick read (though you will probably need to read the layered language five times, and again late in life.)

I will be honest up front - this book is about my Grandfather Wallace and his brother Harold, their uncle Bill and a mate of theirs Arthur. However until last year I never knew this book existed - in fact because of family issues I never knew my Grandfather Wallace. My Father's cousin has edited this book and it is skillfully blended.

The book is really a whole bunch of letters from the boys from Argyle (the 1200 acre Campbell property near Wellington NSW). It provides a brief overview of the family as well as updates at the end and is a chronological acount of there experiences during WWI - at Gallipoli, in France, on leave, their experiences of authority and the subtle way that things changed for them. The letters are written from the boys to the rest of the Campbell family and friends - so you get to see what was on everyones mind during this terrible time

I would recommend spending a whole day to read this book in one go because it is too dis-jointed if you break in up over a period of few days or weeks. The editors have provided commentary where it is needed and as they say it is not their book but the book belongs to the boys from Argyle of which 3 returned alive.

I found it strange to read letters addressed by my kith and kin whom I never had the chance to meet - but a work such as this has keep the memory of 4 very ordinary Australians alive. There are photographs through the book of various characters family friends and the like which makes it a very personal book for any one that reads it.

IT IS A SHAME THAT IT IS CLASSED AS A REMAINDERED BOOK BY THE NEW OWNERS OF KANGAROO PRESS AS A REPRINT WILL MOST LIKLEY NOT BE FORTHCOMING.

The charm of France is exposed to us all. The author makes the travel an adventure with out fear and with a warmth that makes you want to book your flight right now. The "guide book" entries that break up the travels seem to be forced and perhaps were an after thought. The story of the travels are all you really need. I feel you can follow this book and you will arrive when and where you wish to be. A good read..

Although the Amazon text says that the last edition is 1988, I have a copy which was first published in Britain by Sphere Books in 1990 and re printed in 1991.

Since finding my copy in a second hand book shop in Rochester in Kent some years ago (and paying a mere £2 for it) this little gem has travelled to France with us on several occasions.

So far we have not been disappointed, far from it, we have been greatly impressed with the restaurants selected for inclusion in the book.

In our experience the restaurants included are not necessarily the most expensive or most economic just very good in terms of value and quality. We have found eating places which would suit all tastes.

The individual entries are in much the same style as the UK's Good Food Guide. Two or three restaurants per page with name, address, phone number, name of owner, general notes concluding with pros, cons, price level and any special information about days not open etc.

The layout is alphabetic by town/city so you don't need to know the geography of France to find your way around the book.

I am looking for a later version that the one I have, but until I find it my tried and trusted 1991 copy will go with us every time we cross the Channel.

The see how they grow series is yet another quality series put out by Dorling Kindersley (aka DK). Purchase them all if you can! Inspite of what the Horn Book review says, I found the presentation to be attractive and appropriate for younger children. The last two pages are a pictorial summary of how the frog grew from egg to tadpole to one year-old frog.

It's a shame this solid work from Maurice Casey hasn't received the attention it deserves. Casey sets out in this volume to describe the developmental process of New Testament Christology, and his work includes some features which provide correctives to other such accounts.

For one thing, while Casey locates Jesus firmly within the Judaism of his time, he does not gloss over the likely disagreements between Jesus and other intra-Jewish movements. Readers of e.g. Ed Sanders's magisterial _Jesus and Judaism_ or Hyam Maccoby's trenchant _Revolution in Judea_ might come away with the impression that there just weren't any important differences between Jesus and the Pharisees. Casey argues to the contrary that there were very serious points of contention between them, notably on the issues of purity and Sabbath observance.

For another, Casey recognizes that many elements of Jesus's career do have a firmer foundation in Second Temple Judaism than is sometimes acknowledged. I am thinking here particularly though not exclusively of Casey's claim that Jesus probably did view his death as a propitiation that would in some way turn away the divine wrath.

Casey also does a nice job sorting through later New Testament Christology. His overarching aim seems to be to locate the point at which such Christology finally and irrevocably departed from Judaism altogether -- and he locates this point in the gospel of John, the apparent claim of Jesus's alleged deity being, Casey say, "_inherently_ unJewish" [p. 176]. (Casey, as he further explains in a later book, thinks the Johannine gospel's apparent claims on this point were in part intended as non- or anti-Judaic "identity markers" for a Gentile community. I think Casey's claims here are overstated, and readers looking for an alternative view may want to examine Ellis Rivkin's _What Crucified Jesus?_)

Casey's Harnackian conclusion is a familiar one to readers of this literature: Christianity would profit by shifting away from the religion _about_ Jesus toward the religion _of_ Jesus.

Since the religion of Jesus was Judaism, it is unfortunately not as clear as one might wish precisely what Christians are supposed to do. Nevertheless Casey's closing remark is pointed and apt: "If churches as organizations must insist on false belief we can always leave them, and follow from outside their orbit those aspects of the teaching of Jesus which we judge relevant to our lives 2,000 years later" [p. 178].

In this sense, despite some deep disagreements on certain points, Casey's work nicely complements that of Geza Vermes. As Vermes has recently covered some of the same Christological-development ground in _The Changing Faces of Jesus_, readers interested in the project of reclaiming Jesus as a Jew of his own time and place may wish to consult Casey as well.

De Zayas' book offers a recent overview of a massacre of innocents all-too many Americans would like to forget. Most victims, 2-3 million butchered, 12-15 million deported, were innocent of Nazism (those guys had already fled). The massacre had, sad to say, the understanding of German-haters in the US Foreign Department. In the 1940s and 1950s, people like the Alsatian humanitarian Albert Schweitzer and the Anglo-Jewish publisher Victor Gollancz used to remind Western audiences of this terrible moral lapse that stained their "Good War." Then it was entombed in media silence in the United States. Now, Zayas, an American jurist, looks at this tragedy again. And since the dissolution of the Eastern block, the Eastern countries try to join the European Union. This books explains well one of the stumbling blocks from the past they have to "overcome" first, in the same way Germans had to "overcome" the Nazi legacy, before they can join!

Like so many people who have visited Gibraltar over the years, I have had a love affair with this country ever since I first clapped eyes on what is easily the most famous rock in the world. Whilst my own interest in Gibraltar stems from the superb wreck-diving to be found just offshore, in researching the history of those shipwrecks I found myself drawn into the wider elements of this truly historic piece of real estate time and again. It was, therefore, with a little knowledge of Gibraltar's history that I sat down to read this book and very soon I found myself saying things like; "I've been there" and "I never knew that."

"Gibraltar - A History" is a large book measuring 11" x 8½" and is richly illustrated throughout with images of people, places and artefacts which support a well-told story of the history of Gibraltar. Commencing almost at the beginning of time, the author takes us to AD711 in the very first chapter. Having thus set the background scenery so expertly, we then travel through time in Gibraltar as we are skilfully brought forward - chapter by chapter and conflict by conflict, to the present day.

And, of course, those conflicts are not yet over. One of the very first lessons I learned over 30 years ago was that Gibraltarians are NOT Spanish people - and never were. Perhaps those who think otherwise should read this book. They may be surprised - I don't know. They will certainly be educated.

"Gibraltar - A History" is a book which will stand the test of time because it includes everything you ever wanted to know about this fabulous little country. Maurice Harvey and his publishers have done an excellent job of work here and I congratulate them on a task well done.
