'Medea' by Euripedes is a classic and powerful Greek tragedy that broke all the rules of that time period. Euripedes takes two great figures in Medea and Jason, and uses Iconoclastic techniques brilliantly to make Jason seem stupid and Medea seem like a murderer. It is especially interesting because of the story that you need to understand outside of the play. You will need to know who the gods are and how Medea and Jason got together. Medea is a powerful sorceress, which is a major point in this play. The imagery of the death scenes were VIVIDLY scripted and the gods, who are supposed to represent all that is good and rightous, are also mocked and bashed by Euripedes. Overall, Euripedes defied all and created a tragic masterpiece, I will definately recommend you to read this. Thank you.

This play is regarded by many as Euripedes' masterpiece and should be required reading of all educated people. It retells the tragic story of Medea, who had helped Jason in his quest, became his wife, gave him two sons, and feels betrayed since he is marrying the daughter of the ruler of Corinth (Jason has come to the conclusion that this is necessary to protect Medea and his sons since she is a barbarian). With horrible vengence, she kills the bride and the king and then kills her two sons. Euripedes depicts how much passion and vengence can overcome not only individuals, but those who strive to be rational. Men (and governments) can't ignore the influence of emotion, and even irrationality, on their decisions and actions, even when those actions may seem rational and just. Man has to remain flexible. The play also shows how emotions, anger, and unbridled fury can cause a person to do stupid and irrational acts. Euripedes is undoubtedly warning Athens with respect to the war that is going on with Sparta.

"Medea" is a classical work that many have heard of, but few have actually read. It is the story of the wife of Jason, leader of Argonauts, and her chilling plot of revenge against an unfaithful husband and his new child-bride. The play is short, concise, and powerfully unnerving. Whether this is a history of misogyny or a warning of the vengeance of a wronged woman is a matter better left to scholarly debate. Provocative, disturbing, and at times heartbreaking, this is a definite must-read for neo-Classicists and avid readers alike. Not to be missed.

Rabbis Joy Levitt and Michael Strassfeld have spent several years updating the Haggadah of the Reconstructionist movement, which was last revised in 1941. This Haggadah, which sold out of its first printing of 15,000 copies, in just a few weeks, offers more of a narrative story for the Passover seder (more of a story than the rabbinical commentary format that is found in more traditional haggadot). It also offers the family gender neutral language, does not refer to the Hebrews as a "chosen people", has the story of the four children instead of the four sons, and includes new traditions, such as "Miriam's cup."

Hello. Are you looking for a haggadah that will let you eat before actually doing the sedar. Want a kid friendly Haggadah well, purchase A Night Of Questions. It is beautifully designed and written. If you want a family fun filled Passover this year, use this Haggadah. My kids even read it and loved it!

I love this Haggadah. Whether I am teaching about Passover, leading a seder, or participating in a seder, this is one of the best resources. The use of questions in this night already devoted to questions is remarkable. If you only have one Haggadah, this will cover all your bases; if you use many, this is a must have!

This book is probably the most science-fictional of the four books in the series I have read thus far, and I'd probably consider it the best. The three tales of Oswald Bastable are rife with ideas and imagination. As usual, here are comments on the individual books:
Warlord of the Air: Great introduction to Bastable. I thought Moorcock in the beginning was him, so it was neat to see Bastable actually show up later. The future of 1973 that he goes to is great on the surface, but dark underneath, and the political arguments are anything but one-sided, highlighting both sides. Oh, and Oswald drops a bomb.

The Land Leviatian: This one reminded me of Heinlein's novel Farnham's Freehold, for some reason. The premise of blacks taking over the world in response to the crimes against them by whites is an interesting study of our world. Still, Bastable still feels lousy for helping to destroy the obviously unrepentant whites. Go figure.

The Steel Tsarr: Longest of the three, and probably the most complex, set in a democratic Russia at war with its Cossacks. Poor Bastable finally gets some peace with the help of Mrs Perrson. And is it me, or is the Steel Tsar a dead ringer for Stalin?

I enjoyed reading about Bastable and hopefully Moorcock will include more about him in the later book in the series. In this one, he mentions that Bastable is mentioned in Warriors at the End of Time, so perhaps he's there. I can't wait

Moorcock proves himself once again--he is a fine writer with a much-better-than-average grasp of many genres, which mesh well within his book. "A Nomad of the Time Streams" is sci fi in the best H.G. Wells tradition, with Bastable's bemused and uncomfortable Edwardian observations of a world torn apart by war. What fascinated me most was how zeppelins are the central theme of all three books; Moorcock presents three "what if" stories by mixing and matching historical events of the 20th Century and placing them in different years--nuclear war (the bombing of Hiroshima) in 1973, Armageddon (or something like it) in 1904, and a Russia where the October Revolution of 1917 failed in 1941. Definitely recommended.

I have the Millenium edition of this collection.

Moorcock has brought the Eternal Champion into almost every sub-genre of speculative fiction - sword and sorcery, post-apocalyptic, time travel, space opera, and with this one, steampunk. I count the steampunk Eternal Champions as among the more exotic heroes in the genre, and they are all made colorful by Moorcock's fast-paced storytelling and extensive imagination.

Oswald Bastable was an ordinary British officer. He just did his job. Then he got knocked out in an Asian temple. When he wakes up and walks out, he finds himself in a new reality: airships rule the skies, land fortresses roll over the plains and airplanes were a revolutionary concept in air combat. A totally new world, and he still must play his role in it as a servant of the balance. Like any Eternal Champion book, this is an essential.

I bought this book because I am interested in the early history of book publishing. I had never heard of Michael Servetus and found his story fascinating. What a brilliant man. And what an unlucky man!! How could anyone be so smart and so stupid at the same time? He managed to figure out how blood circulates before anyone else, and then buries this info in a treatise against the belief in the trinity! Most of his books were destroyed (along with him), but a few managed to survive. The story of that survival is also fascinating. The biggest question I had, and it is one that no one can answer, is why when Servetus managed to get away from the inquisition did he run to Geneva, where his bitter enemy Calvin was waiting to burn him?? Just about the only thing the Catholic church and Calvin agreed on was that Servetus should die. This book is, thus, also about a time with attitudes that are incomprehensible to most of us....a time when people wanted to murder others for not believing the same. No one seemed to honor freedom of conscience! So, this book was very interesting, told me about someone I had not heard of, and described a very tense time in the history of western religion. I highly recommend it.

I first heard of this book on an NPR talk show while working on a school essay dealing with religious intolerance and the intellectual repression of religion. My paper was about complete, but I knew that I had to read this book. I am so glad I did!
A fascinating tale of Europe at the crossroads of religious orthadoxy and intellectual progression, it has more characters in it than a Tom Clancy novel. And they are all brought together to relate the story of Servetus, his views, and how those views caused him so much grief.
The reader comes away from this with much more than he/she could imagine. I was fascinated with the history of printing, the process and the business. While realizing the book was going to deal with religion, it is mind boggling to see what kind of grip it had on society in those days. (Judging by what is going on in the world today, it still does) Ever fearful of losing their hold on power, religious leaders resorted to whatever tactics were necessary to keep the flock intact and growing. Reminds one of a company wanting to retain a monopoly, but in a much more violent way. Scary.
The tale of Servetus's last book, Christianismi Restitutio,and its survival to modern day is an added bonus to this great revelation about a brilliant man, his contributions to humanity and the cruel, unforgiving world in which he lived. Thank you Lawrence & Nancy Goldstone for the enlightenment.

This is the story of a man and his book.

The man is Michael Servetus. He was a brilliant young Spaniard born into a world of religious upheaval and burgeoning science. Though he would become a well-respected physician who was the first (even before Harvey) to discover pulmonary circulation, he ran into trouble when he passionately espoused anti-Trinitarian beliefs--beliefs deemed heresy not only by the Roman Catholic Church but by important Protestant strongholds as well.

The book is Christianismi Restituto. It was in this book that Servetus argued his unitarian stand and put forth his idea of pulmonary circulation. What was believed to be the last known copy of this book was chained to Servetus' leg as he was burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553. Of course, the book did survive; otherwise, there would be no story to tell and Servetus would be lost to history.

In fact, as we learn through the pages of this wonderful book by the Goldstones, three copies of the book survived and are now extremely valuable. As a book collector, the story of the provenance of the three surviving copies is fascinating in itself. But there is much more of interest here than the story of a book.

Much along the lines of the trend started by Dava Sobel in Longitude, the Goldstones tell the story of a much forgotten but most important moment in history. Amid the background of the development of printing and the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation, we learn of a man who made a huge scientific discovery that was basically forgotten for most of a century and re-discovered by the man who is usually credited with the discovery (Harvey). But, more importantly, we learn of a man who is swept up in the spirit of Protestantism and yet is destroyed by the very forces he helped to create.

In fact, the story of the conflict between Servetus and Calvin is the most fascinating part of this book. In a world where the word "Inquisition" is a staple of criticism against the Roman Catholic church, it is important to be reminded that Protestant churches were often quick to burn those they considered heretics as well. Which makes it even more ironic that one of the three original surviving copies of this heretical book is Calvin's personal copy.

All in all, this is a fascinating book. It is a wonderful history not only of a person but also of an era of upheaval and intellectual ferment. Anyone interested in book collecting, theology or Renaissance history will enjoy this book.

Harris and Emberley have done it again! "It's So Amazing!" is a much-needed follow up to their prior book, "It's Perfectly Normal."

The text is clear, while maybe a little advanced for the younger solo reader -- this would be a good one for parents and kids to read together at first. Numerous captions and illustrations help children understand the material more fully, and are entertaining, to boot.

The bird and bee characters are back, too, speaking many of the feelings, doubts, and questions real kids may have when mulling over the information. They provide some comic relief, but their function as a sounding board is more important than many people realize. This can be confusing (and hard to believe) stuff.

There is much more in-depth material on the actual mechanics of reproduction and birth than in "Normal," but it is nicely balanced by the sections on how families are formed, how families relate to and love each other, and what makes each person unique.

This would make a perfect teaching tool for a kid who has a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology, but is ready for some behind-the-scenes details as to how babies are created, and how they grow into children who then grow into adults -- and start the whole process over!

Since our nine year old son is the result of donor insemination within a two mom family, he is pretty well informed on how a baby is biologically created. All those questions and more were answered in a humorous way in this book. A child can take this book and read a page or a chapter at a time by himself or with his family. It allows him to feel comfortable with the whole factual human sexual process through humor and easy to understand child-text. I would recommend this book to any family that wants their children to understand all types of relationships, families and the unique process of conception and birth.

The best part about this book is the organization; it's easy to skip around and address the speifics that your child has questions about. The beginning parts are a perfect introduction to "How babies are made," and acknowledges all the mixed feelings kids might have on the subject. It's a good book to leave around for your child to "find"; kids have an idea of what they're ready to deal with. (As a 13-year-old, I picked up my parents' copy of "The Joy of Sex" and quickly put it away because I wasn't ready for that!) I like "It's so Amazing" better than "It's Perfectly Normal" (acknowledging that you will need a more advanced book for your older children to "discover"); "Normal" is thorough about anything a preteen could possibly want to know; unfortunately, some of the pertinent info you have to discover by accident while reading other sections of the book. Also, "Normal" equates having a crush with "sexual attraction" - I'm not comfortable with that assumption. Note: "Amazing" is not a sufficient resource for your reaching-puberty boy or girl; you should have a boy-or-girl-specific book for that 9-12 age. I'll be on the lookout for a knockout book for graduates of "It's So Amazing!" Maybe we need a really advanced teenage book that tells it all about contraception, bodies, and sexual risks in a way a 9th grader can relate to - after that it may be too late!

A wonderful story that really brings home the meaning of why we are here, and the search to find happiness. This book really helped me reassess the relationships and experiences in my life and to be grateful for the opportunities they have presented.

Easy to read, but full of messages.

I found this audio book tape excellent. I have read many new age books and this one is easy and understandable. I said to a friend, this book explains everything you want to say and don't know how to. It is the total sum to my belief in the way and why we are here. It is CLARITY. A must read !

I have read all of the books written by Kryon and Lee Carroll and have found that this one book summarizes everything I have ever read on the topics of spiritual growth and enlightenment. It is a book I give freely to people who cross my path because I think it offers the purest message on God and the meaning of life on this planet. Kryon goes, step-by-step, through the process we all need to take to find our true sense of Joy on this planet. It is though-provoking, funny, and incredibly uplifting. It shows that everything we do, that everything we experience has value in the eyes of God and the Universe. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking to find their own sense of the Truth.

This instructional golf book foucuses on developing the fundamentals of the full swing in 7 easy steps. This is the first golf book (and I've read a few) that demystifies the golf swing. I lowered my score 10 ten strokes in 30 days. It is well worth your money, time and effort.

My review title is strong, but I believe it 100%. I have read many of the great golf books written by famous players and teachers. This simple book cuts to the heart of the matter and gives you a few keys to make solid contact effortlessly. What is most amazing is that the book shows you to learn a powerful and repeatable swing quickly, without cluttering your mind with the 1000's of swing issues that you may face ie cupped vs. flat wrist, hitting a draw vs. a fade, etc.. After one read of this book (in less than a few hours), I was drilling balls at the range with no effort. Now I understand how pros like Ernie Els and Fred Couples make it look so effortless, yet generate so much power. This book is a must read!

It's scary but I've read almost all of the well-known golf instruction books, and many of the lesser-known ones as well. This is the best golf swing book I have ever read for the high-handicapper who is looking to bring consistency to his/her swing. This book is not about fades, draws, varying trajectory, or anything else that involves advanced shot-making. But for the beginner, it's clear, common-sense, easy to follow and easy to learn. Info is presented in a way where you can actually learn and build upon the different parts of the swing. Muscle memory is key, along with a sound mental approach. It's all covered here. A solid companion book to this, one that focuses entirely on the mental aspect of the golf game, is Quantum Golf, also available via Amazon.

Author Anthony J. Alessandra identifies the four basic business personalities: Directors, Socializers, Relaters and Thinkers. As you come to appreciate the strengths of each of these styles, you also learn to put them to use. You will read about the drawbacks of each style and you will see how you can help people overcome them. The book is generally for managers who want to get more out of their employees. The authors include a section on how to apply The Platinum Rule to selling, which makes the book quite useful for anyone in a sales position. We [...] recommend this book to sales or personnel managers, and to other executives who want to understand and motivate people.

"As Chairman of the Bethel Institute, I recommend The Platinum Rule by Dr. Tony Alessandra, my clients all find it to be most useful. However, there is another dimension I'd like to suggest. I have six adult children and each is married. I have given the book to each one as a guide to a happier marriage. Tony has given us a tool to build relationships, understand ourselves, our partners and our children. Our most important and endearing relationships are at home. It seems appropriate to have a book of this magnitude to guide us in our efforts to achieve a happier personal life." Sheila Murrary Bethel, Chairman, Bethel Institute, Author: Making A Difference, 12 Qualities That Make You A Leader

The Platinum rule presents an easy to learn and apply system of personality typing based on an individual's social style and interpersonal interaction. This differs from many other systems of personality typing in that it is based primarily on a person's observable behavior and style, rather than on their deeper inner motivations, functions, attitudes, etc. It's a great tool to use in any relationship, business or personal. I use it often and train my staff in the system. It really works and is extremely effective!

Tony Alessandra's work is a more updated, refined, expanded and user friendly version of the work on social styles by David Merrill. A good companion book with more analytical and theoretical information on this work (for all you Thinker types) is Merrill and Reid's "Personal Styles and Effective Performance".
