This book is invaluable for training of inexperienced lab techs and for reference for more experienced ones. Indespensable.

This is a great book to own. Every time I needed to find something I opened this book and it was there for me. It is very clearly written and contains lots of helpful info. A big Thanks to Dr. Ballinger :-)

This book provides me with technical information commonly needed in a laboratory environment. It seems to boil down many references all into one easy to read book. The index is fantastic, you can find anything in the book quickly and easily. This is usually a problem with most reference books, but not with this one.

This is a great resource. You should know that when you buy this item, you are buying 10 of Christianity, Cults and Religions pamphlet. The single pamphlets are also listed on Amazon.

Especially recommended for Sunday School teachers and those who want to wisely share their Christian faith with those of other religions.

. This is an incredibly handy chart. It compares 18 different religious groups and shows in a quick, easy-to-understand manner what they believe about various topics: - Who is God? - Who is Jesus? - Who is the Holy Spirit? - How to be saved? - What happens after death? - Other interesting beliefs or practices - Founder, date, location

This is a great chart. In just a couple of sentences it sums up what each group believes on all kinds of issues. It is factual, fair minded, and up-to-date.

The children in our preschool love books with big bold images, lots of strong colors, and a big surprise in the middle. This one is a perfect example. The children especially seem to delight in the idea of a little boy taking what the big people see as brave action in the face of their silly fear that only the little boy can see through. I highly recommend this one.

Tragedies like Columbine are a wake-up call. It's clear that we need to provide our kids - especially boys - with tools to counter the violence and knee-jerk aggression ubiquitous in popular culture. These children's stories by Idries Shah are just this kind of tool. They're not preachy. They don't offer simplistic lessons or moral platitudes. They're more like exercises for "mental muscle groups" grossly underdeveloped in this culture: A strong sense of one's own value. Empathy. Flexibility in thinking and responding. Appreciating that not everyone is the same, not every outcome is predictable. Seeing that there are more than two sides to a situation. A sense that patience and perseverance can pay off, sometimes in unexpected ways. Not demanding easy answers. A sense that things are not always as they seem, that the viewpoint of "experts" - or even the whole community - is not always right. The experience of seeing something that even adults don't see, of creating clever solutions. The sense that taking positive action is possible and rewarding-even when one has to buck the tide. That help can come from where and when we least expect it. The sense that life has interesting "loose ends" for us to reflect on. And so much more. At least one of these books should be on every child's book shelf.

This beautifully illustrated book, part of a children's series by Idries Shah, is sure to delight kids and parents alike. Based on a tale told for centuries in Central Asia and the Middle East, it is about a boy who happens upon a village where the people are terrified of melons simply because they've never seen one before. In showing the villagers that their fears are unfounded, the boy teaches children some valuable lessons about fear. Yet unlike so many other children's books, THE CLEVER BOY AND THE TERRIBLE, DANGEROUS ANIMAL doesn't impose its lessons on the young reader, but instead gently offers them up to be digested and understood at the child's own pace. I wish there were more children's books like this one and the others in Shah's delightful series.

I really liked this book. The plot was predictable, but I very much enjoyed the journey to the happy ending. Marion is an excellent heroine and a great example of Christian love, mercy, and forgiveness.

This book not only leads you through Maion's lonely life, but also through a wonderful heart warming romance!! I definately recomment this book!!!!!

This is one of my favorite books! A lonely girl, left with a brother and unfriendly sister-in-law when her father dies, decides that she will strike it out on her own in the big city instead of going to the country with them. But who is leaving great, expensive, red, long-stemmed roses on her seat when she sacrifices some of her prescious earnings to buy season tickets to the symphony? And how did the roses get to her when she was sick? Will her wonderful mystery end when the season is over

Talk about a brooding hero-he is wonderful, dark and mysterious, complicated. Falling in love as he does with the heroine, it makes his duty to his family all that much harder to bear. The twists and turns to get to the end for the happy ever after made me breathless with anticipation. More like this one, please!

This book has not been given the praise it deserves. This is an EXCELLENT historical fiction in the style of Julie Garwood (high praise, indeed, as Julie is my TOP favourite romance writer.) Nara is a wonderful, innocent, warm-hearted heroine who is always looking to find the good in people and the situation. Tynan is a magnificent man who is tortured by a horrific childhood and now by his vow of revenge. Secondary characters like Tim are skilfully interwoven to create a deep, rich, satisfying story. Run right out and read this - you'll LOVE it!

I just finished Haywood Smith's latest, Damask Rose, and it is simply superb. The writing is historically correct, and the characters will touch you with intense empathy for their plight. I love her writing; I think she will continue to give us wonderful books. I'm looking forward to the next Haywood Smith book!

helen luke is dead now but i wish she wasn't. this
is the best book i ever found about dante. if dante's
comedy seems a mystery to you, if it seems hard to
reach, or if it seems like it has nothing to say to us
now, you need this book. helen luke used dante's poetry
to write a magnificent jungian deconstruction of growth
and love. it makes everything simple. it is magnificent.
i was interested to see that she liked dorothy sayers'
translations (of all the dante translations that there
are) the best. if you have this book, you don't need
any other growth book, you don't need any other literary
analysis of the comedy. she knew dante very well.

This marvellous book opens up Danteland for the contemporary reader. Helen Luke's masterful guidance on the paths of Dante's three-tiered cosmos not only helps us to reenter and relish the Divine Comedy - the towering literary achievement of the medieval imagination - but to use it to enter deeper levels of reality through meditation and active imagination. I have based deeply moving group meditations on this, along the lines of those decribed in my own book "Dreamgates", and we have found that Dante's gates can actually take us into imaginal realms that people appear to inhabit after physical death. As the life dreamer she was, Helen Luke reminds us of the way the radiant guide keeps calling the seeker through dreams, which are so often ignored or forgotten until the BIG moment of spiritual trial and eventual initiation. I would recommend using the middle section of the book in tandem with W.S.Merwin's excellent recent translation of the "Purgatorio", which is more readable than the older versions quoted by Ms. Luke.

The moment I saw the references to Charles Williams and Dorothy L. Sayers I was hooked. Culturely familiar with, but never having studied, Dante's poem, I had always understood it as an allegory of life after death. Wrong! The intersections between Dante's journey as portrayed by Helen Luke and portions of my spiritual journey were intense, meaningful, detailed -- and totally unexpected. The reality of the passage through Hell and Purgatory in this life points to the hope of a portion of the feast to come also in this life. It is not an easy read, but I found myself unable to put it down -- except when the power of a passage would so resonate in me I had to pause to mark it and reflect on it.

Deadly Rose is possibly the greatest literary work of modern history. It combines a microcasm of differentiating time periods of the period after the birth of Christ, culminating with a climax that can't be compared with any other. However, the greatest aspect of Deadly Rose is the character development. By the time the novel draws itself to a close, the reader feels so close to the heroic character of Brian, that he just wants to call him on the phone. Additionally, the extremely complex character similiarity between Rose and Regina, and the two present day characters is truly striking. Purchase Deadly Rose yourself, and you will be treated to a truly classic novel.

I Still cannot believe the maximal conversion rate of this boo

This is the best damn book in the worl

The book I received was in terrific shape and was definitely what I expected. I'd definitely buy from this seller again.

You've got all these quilts! What are you going to do with them? Beautiful color plates show how the movers and shakers in the quilt making and quilt collecting world display quilts around the house. I was particularly intrigued with the chapter on Sewing Studios. They are warm, homey places that employ many antique pieces for storage and decoration. And every idea doesn't require a show place of a home either. On page 35--they show several old quilts tucked into an easy chair and covering a table--it would look cosy anywhere!

This is every quilter's dream book. Beautiful quilts used in very creative settings. From country to contempory - this book's got it all.

Caroline Stewart is finally pulling her life together with the help of her few trusted friends. She is completing her Bachelor's degree and has been accepted to law school. She is finally able to trust herself and relax the vigilance she has maintained since her escape from her abusive husband nine years ago. Then her new boss, Dr. Max Hunter, arrives and sweeps her off her feet. Can she learn to trust a man? Can she reveal her secret past to him? Are the odd little incidents just her imagination or is her ex husband back?

This story by Karen Rose is well written and peopled with endearing characters who are well drawn allowing the reader to get to know and understand them. The plot is frightening and suspenseful at times, but ultimately heartwarming. I enjoyed this one so much that I'm glad to see that Rose's next one is due out soon.

In Asheville, North Carolina Mary Grace is hospitalized after a fall down the stairs leaves her battered and partially crippled. Her husband police officer Rob Winters whispers a warning to her to keep quiet that he pushed her. When she begins to heal, she returns home, planning to disappear with their son Robbie before his father kills one of them during one of his control freak outs. Two years later, the opportunity arises and Mary accompanied by Robbie vanishes. Rob thinks they are dead while many law enforcement types think he killed her.

Seven years later, the county sheriff finds a car belonging to Rob in Douglas Lake, Tennessee, but no corpses inside. Rob goes to the locale and finds evidence in the vehicle that makes him believe Mary lives and has his son with him. Irate, he plans to locate her, beat the hell out of her, and take back his boy.

Living in Chicago, Mary works as an office assistant at Carrington College under the name of Caroline Stewart. She and the new head of the history department Dr. Max Hunter are attracted to one another. However, Rob is coming which means no one in her circle is safe.

Though action packed, the story line is character driven. Macho Rob is a sociopath predator who hides his abuse behind a thin caring veneer. Caroline is not the person he used to batter, having improved herself once she got out from under his oppression. Readers will admire her courage, but feel anguish and dismay at a support system that failed her while hoping that true justice prevails.
