This, along with vols II and III, is a remarkable and admirable work of scholarship. Hegel delivered his then unique course on the Philosophy of Religion on four occasions between 1821 and 1831. These three volumes essentially present all four lecture series. Although similarities run throughout, it is the development in his thought and change in emphasis (depending upon who was attacking him at the moment) that add to the fascination of this work. The footnotes are thorough. Comparatively easy to follow. Uniquely Hegelian mind stretching thought. Permeated with Hegel's own encyclopedic knowledge of everything (our Aristotle). Complements the Phenomenology and Logic. The Divine Spirit sees via us, and the resultant backflow is the Holy Spirit: that trinity again.

Launcelot Greaves, Tobias Smollett's quixotic character, takes you on a hilarious journey filled with wonderfully funny scenes and characters. The book moves at the leisurely pace Smollett and Fielding made such excellent use of in their novels. Not only does Smollet amuse and surprise in this novel, but he also provides a insightful commentary on class, primogeniture and the state of the nobility in 18th-century England. This book you finish with a grin and a wistful sigh, because you don't want the story to end, a novel both funny and thoughtful in the best of senses.

The material was copyrighted in 1994, now 7 almost 8 years old. I wish the author had an email address in the book. Does anyone else know if he has email? The LOTS circuit in there uses photocells which are much too large for N gauge. There are microminiature reed switches that will work well. But the LOTS circuit has errors in it when it comes to the reed switch conversion which he reports will also work with the circuit.

Kato makes an automatic switch circuit that uses mechanical contacts. The author advises staying away from mechanical contacts but the Kato unit seems well built, reliable, and it seems to work well.

Neurology is one of the most difficult courses in medical school. Eponyms that are so many in neurology add a big burden to the already dreadful task of remembering the location of nuclei, the origin and destination of nerve tracks and constellation of syndromes. As medical school progresses, I start to appreciate eponyms which give more humane description of the anatomical structures, the symptoms or the diseases. Koehler and colleagues have done a beautiful book collecting the common neurological eponyms that are categorized into 5 parts: structures and processes, symptoms and signs, reflexes and other tests, syndromes, diseases and defects. The book was edited concisely to cover the origin and detailed description of the eponyms. Although it is not exhaustive of all neurological eponyms, the book serves well in helping to understand the common ones, Babinski's sign, Guillian-Barre' syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, etc. It's entertaining style suits not only for neurological profession but for medical students and other health profession as well.

I find this book highly intersting, perhaps because I can sympathize with the "hero" (?) Peter Ibbetson/Gogo Pasquier in his longing to regain the innocent pleasures of childhood, cought up in a world he cannot understand and suffering from "Weltschmerz". However the book does contain racist and antisemitic remarks of Ibbetson, so some people might feel offended. One should bear in mind though that Ibbetson - as alienazed as he may feel - is the product of the Victorian society - and not take his lack of understanding/tolerance/... too seriously. I only give the book 4 stars because ther is one ryther boring section: fter he has finall (re)found his true love, they go off on a number of bizzarre trips to past times. I just have the suspicion tht the author didn't know what to do with them after he had brought them together... But I would certainly reccomend this book - but not to lovers of logical murder mysteries or hopeless realists. You have to be a bit eccentric and crazy to enjoy this one....

Fans of Ellis Peters's Inspector George Felse mystery series (the series she wrote before her more famous Brother Cadfael mysteries) will be very pleased with this book. Instead of George Felse, the hero of this story is George's son Dominic, who fans of the series have watched growing from a precocious adolescent to a teenager, and now to a very intelligent young man. On a trip with friends from university, Dominic stumbles accross a death which, although it was ruled an accident, may not have been so accidental after all. Not a little captivated by Tossa, the charming step-daughter of the dead man, he begins to investigate. The result is a clever, engaging mystery/suspense tale that will charm fans of the traditional British mystery.

School reform is changing education across the world. But are we always moving in the right direction? That is the subject of much debate. Noblit and Dempsey take a look at how community affected two different schools. This book emphasizes the importance of virtue and addresses the issues of morality in our children. The visuals portrayed in how these two schools differed in their school philosophy gives the reader challenging concepts to think about.

I felt more comfortable in the course knowing that I had an edge. This study guide really clarified ideas brought up in the text and gave me practice in areas where I needed more clarification. Thanks to you, I passed with flying colors!

this casenote - while illustrative and helpful - cannot be used to substitute for Christie's own casebook. It uses different exemplary cases.

This book is based on quite an interesting idea, and it would bring that across had it not been so badly written. For a fable it is trying to be too realistic, for a story it isn't trying to be realistic enough. I had quite a hard time believing several crucial points in the story, mostly due to the fact that Hoeg is telling me everything, never showing me anything so he can make me belive what I read. When I finally accepted (not believed, accepted) that Madalene was an alcoholic, I was led to believe that she could fight it (right after an almost delirium) in just a couple of days...sure. I also had a hard time believing her strange relationship with Adam, and I guess weird relationships do exist, but I was mostly annoyed by the fact that I should also believe that so many couples have never actually seen eachother naked, as in the end of the book everyone is in shock about the existence of the other apes. Some have even been able to make kids and not let their husband or wife notice that they were hairy all over. Quite an accomplishment I would say. I love a good plot, I love interesting ideas, like this one was, especially as they defend a principle, contain a moral theory, but I would like it to be brought across with some level of realism. Make me believe it could've happened. And I'm willing to believe in superintelligent apes. Even that you can fall in love with them. That was actually the most believable part, Madalene's love for Erasmus. Not enough for me to forget about the rest though.

Peter Hoeg is an unusually talented author and "The Woman and the Ape" is just one example. It really touches your deepest emotions. It is one of those books you whish you could enjoy forever. It isn't only the plot and the idea behind it, it is mostly the way it is written. His writing style entraps you. I felt utter fascination all the way through the book. I reccomend this book to everybody who wants an unordinary, enlightening, and intelligent reading experience.

Mr. Hoeg did it again: give us a dream wrapped into hard-hitting reality. After "Smilla" and "The Borderliners", we now have a third great novel from this author, and I want to thank him for it. While it is similar to "The Planet of the Apes" by Pierre Boulle, it is taken to a new, metaphysic dimension. It took years for "Smilla" to "catch on"; I hope this book will fare better
