Amazing amount of information in a small volume
The amount of information in this small book is mind-boggling. The maps are numerous and detailed, and each one is accompanied by a few paragraphs describing what was going on in the world at the time, so in addition to the maps (if you don't mind small print with some abbreviations) you get an outline history of the world. This book makes all of the huge and expensive coffee-table-sized atlases of world history, with such inferior maps and so much less information, look stupid and wasteful.

I've worn out two sets of these atlases
I have worn out two sets of these atlases. Every time I read a book of history, historical fiction, alternative history, or one with historical references, or watch the history channel, this set of books has allowed me to envision the geographical aspects of what I was seeing or reading. It has satisfied my curiosity on countless occasions. No other historical atlas has been up to this standard. It reports the facts, ma'am, just the facts. Others have included politically correct opinions. I wish I could find another set. It is disappointing to find that they are out of print.

Anchor Atlas of World History Vol. 1 & 2
This book is indispensible for any historian or anyone intrested in understanding historical events. It is ambitious in scope and very successful. It is packed full of valuable political, economic, and religious maps revealing countries at key historical time periods. Diagrams of major political structures are included. The accompanying time table is intricate and detailed. It is unsurpassed going beyond the mere rise and fall of nations and rulers but of cultures, science, and trends. You have the important names, places, and dates at your fingertips. I can't understand why this valuable book is out of print. If you can find this book, keep it. Do not lose it. Pass it on. It's pocket size makes it easy to carry around anywhere. I still have my first copy I purchased in 1977 and brought it with me all around the world.

A window on the world of imagination.....
I just dug out an old copy of this book that I have had for over 40 years. ..This was one book I kept by my bed when I was growing up--from my earliest years on up into my teens. Everytime I opened it, it seemed fresh and new, and it still does. It is a wonderful collection of poems and quirky stories selected by Jane Werner, with beautiful illustrations by Garth Williams. His pictures are not just great looking--they pull you into the scenes. Some of these pictures I kept in my head for years in my 20s and 30s--sometimes pulling the book out to take a look at the real thing. Many of the poems I still know from heart, simply from having read them so many times. In fact, I think my love of poetry started with this book. Hopefully TTBoMB will be brought back into print. It is one of the finest pieces of childrens' literature that has ever been published.

Memorable
I've got a copy of this- it's a great book. My grandma gave it to my mother and her sister in 1957, and it's still with us....a little battered, but still there. My mum used to read it to me and my brother, the illustrations are beautiful and they sparked off my imagination many times. It's a wonderful collection of original stories- I wish they'd do a reprint so children today could enjoy it.

A solid foundation for a beginning imagination!
This is an excellent book. I am very disapointed to find that it is out of print. My Mother used to read me this book over and over again. I still can't get enough of the wonderful stories and illustrations. My new daughter loves it too. This book shaped my imagination in such a way that I still wonder if faieries and elves are real. This book added mystery and and spark to nature for me as a child. My Mother and I still enjoy reciting the passages we can remember. It was this book that encouraged me to read and I enjoy reading it to myself to this day. The stories are like no other new children's book I have read. A timeless collection of classic fiction and verse! This book is a must have bonding agent for mums and babes. " Somewhere, somewhere.

1980
I have the 1980 edition and it is superior, Of course I'll buy the new edition. Worth every penny.

Not recommended if you are just curious....
This book is a wonderful reference for medical students going into pathology or students of forensic science. It give detailed descriptions of causes/manners/and mechanisms of death. This book give a review of natural deaths and deaths involving investigative techniques. Book also include graphic black a white pictures of autopsy techniques and of the deceased.

Must-have for those interested in death investigation...
I read this book a couple of years ago for a short course at the University of New Orleans, and loved it. I keep it on my shelf for reference now, but will likely use it again soon when I go off to graduate school. The sections are very well-written, and can be understood by most anyone who has had at least some experience in this field. The case studies were paricularly relavant, and it would be nice to see more of that in further editions. Also, there are excellent descriptions and illustrations of gunshot and other homocide-related deaths - however, not as much information on accidental death or taphonomy as I would have liked.

The Golden Books Treasury of Elves and Fairies: with Assorte
My sister and I formed all our mental images of fairies and elves from this marvelously enchanting book. Our mother gave us the 1951 edition, which we treasured throughout our childhood. My sister has the original, and I was prepared for a lengthy search of used bookstores. But, lo and behold, Amazon had the reissued edition at a discount! Once again I'll be able to read about the magic scarves and mourn the Fairy Queen, whose body lies in the stream. Garth Williams drew pictures that emblazon themselves in the minds of children, who forever after remember the magic of the things unseen and unbelieved by most adults. The stories cultivate the imagination and expand the conscience. This is one book that no child should ever miss and one that no adult should ever forget.

Magical illustrations that have stayed with me for 35 years!
I've held my childhood memories of the illustrations from this beautiful book for years, and I've periodically searched for another copy. I was thrilled to see it re-issued, and prayed that the illustrations hadn't been "modernized". What a thrill when it arrived! My five year old daughter is as entranced with it as I was at her age, and will ask to replace her night-time tv program with the "magic fairy book". The stories are somewhat long for small children, but they hold the attention of my daughter very well. When we've finished reading, we keep the book open to look at the beautiful illustrations. Every picture in my mind of "Elves or Fairies" is drawn from this book, and there isn't a better place to find them.

Fairy Tales that adults love too. It's back.
An old reviewer, with a sour look

Went out looking for his favorite book.

It was full of fairies, brownies, too.

But it couldn't be found, So what to do?

I spent years looking for the original, which commands $200-300. (It's worth it, too. I just don't have it.)

What do the readers do, when a book is out of print?

As they go through the years, and never see,

The Cannery Bear, or the house tomte,

Or the Littlest Mermaid again. Oh, gee!

I wouldn't be one - would you?

Well, now you don't have to be - it's back. That's all I need to tell the people who read it before, when it was called The Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies.

For the rest of you, please understand that it's hard to describe this book objectively. Seeing it again is an incredibly joyous reunion. Garth Williams paints elves so that the sense of wonder is palpably displayed. The stories and poems are exciting, moving, pensive, and fun. The children in your life will love it. The grown-ups won't mind reading it to them. I do not know anybody who had this book as a child who isn't in love with it.

So the Elves and Fairies now live on my shelf.

And I read it all day, and I like myself.

Sub warfare in the North Atlantic, by one who survived.
Herbert Werner with Mr. Beach's help has written one of the most detailed, engrossing naratives of combat that I have ever read. Werner served on U-boats as an officer throughout most of the war, becoming a U-boat commander in '44. Though highly detailed the book reads almost like a novel it is that interesting. His descriptions of depth charge attacks will have you breaking out in a cold sweat. By mid '43 U-boats faced a huge challenge just getting out to open sea. Werner describes his time spent in ports in great detail as well. Overall the book provides the reader with a picture of what WW2 sub warfare is all about and what life as an officer in Hitler's Germany was like.

I first read this book over 20 years ago and it is one of those books I can just re-read periodically My initial impression of it's overall excellence still remains. Highly recomended.

A former enemy's viewpoint is all too human, and thrilling
Herbert Werner's book has been printed many times, a testament to its writing and story. Werner joined the German Navy at the outset of World War II, and was able to rise through the ranks fo this extremely dangerous calling to command his own U-Boats by the end of the war. Werner writes his account from a chronological perpsective, from the early, easy successes to the end of the war and the bleak outlook Germany had ahead of them. Key events like the "Happy Time," the sinking of the Bismarck, the Battle of Britain and operation Sea Lion figure in, as do the attacks on Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the waning days of the war.
Iron Coffins also exudes humanity, finding fault with the Nazi high command and the naval leadership that caused too many losses, weakened morale, and doomed Germany's effort. The title itself refers to Werner's view of the U-boats as floating deathtraps for most of their crews (perentage-wise, German U-boat crews had one of the top positions in any list of potential losses).

Werner was lucky to survive, given his job, and we are luckier still to have his account of U-boat work in World War II.

Absolutely the Best!
I am an ex-submariner in the U.S Navy with eight strategic deterrent submarine patrols in the North Atlantic and I can only imagine the absolute courage and patriotism shown by the men described in this book! Captain Werner describes what is truly a life of adventure bordering on madness as he and his crew dodge British and US aircraft and destroyers in the most dramatic cat and mouse game of all time.

The book follows Werner's career as a U-Boat officer that starts at the beginning of WWII. He talks about the initial glory and successes of the German U-Boat campaign against the British and he follows the war as the tide changes against Germany. Werner describes reports of boat after boat being sunk and most of his fellow commanders being killed at sea and he shares his thoughts as he continues to bring his boat to sea in spite of almost a guarantee of being killed.

I can't recommend this book strongly enough. It is the BEST submarine saga that I have read to date and it is also a tribute to men who have gone to sea in defense of their country.

Tells you everything !
This is an incredible book that deals with every aspect of the microscope including buying the right one, and adding components. It is important to have a reference, so that as you grow in your need for understanding, you have a reference handy. When I needed to measure my observations, there was the section on calibrating the eyepiece reticle with the stage micrometer. Whether you want to prepare slides, or observe live specimens, or take photos through the microscope- Mr. Nachtigall has covered the subject in a readable clear concise way. I can't begin to tell you how much I've enjoyed using the microscope by following the various suggestions and instructions provided in this book. The sections on color filters and various types of lighting are critical for true enjoyment. The technical sections are also key to getting the most out of your image all the time. Truly a landmark book for the amateur as well as the student or serious hobbyist. Packed with photos, diagrams, and beautifully written understandable text. I've actually watched the quality of my microphotography improve as I've read and re-read the book. When you buy accessories (like phase contrast stuff) you don't always get instructions! This book IS your instruction manual for everything microscopic. My favorite book on microscopy- without a doubt.

A wonderful book both for beginners and the more advanced.
For anyone who may be looking for a good introduction to microscopy, it's doubtful that there could be any better book. Nachtigall, who clearly loves his subject, writes with great enthusiasm and has packed an enormous amount of useful advice and information into its 160 pages.

The first thing that struck me about the book was how well-balanced it is. Nachtigall, who is an authority on microscopy, seems to have wanted to create a book which would be of equal value both to the absolute beginner and to the more advanced student. In this he has succeeded admirably, and I was particularly impressed by the great wealth of useful advice a beginner will find here, advice which runs all the way from how to buy, understand, and use a microscope through to how to collect and view plant, animal, and inorganic specimens. More advanced students will probably find much to learn from his detailed treatment of microphotography procedures and techniques.

The second thing that struck me about this book were its incredibly beautiful color photographs and microphotographs, all of which are the work of Nachtigall himself. He is clearly a master of the art, and his stunning photography is itself worth the price of the book. Unlike the photographs in a book such as D. J. Patterson's 'Free-Living Freshwater Protozoa,' which, though generally good, are small and often dark and not overly clear, Nachtigall's are large, bright, exremely clear, and beautifully reproduced. The book also includes many black and white photographs and drawings of specimens, items of equipment, and techniques and procedures which are designed to help the reader understand matters which can at times be rather technical.

The book falls into two parts, the first of which, on equipment and techniques, has chapters on The Microscope, Optics, Illumination, Photomicrography, and Drawing and Measuring. With the second part we move into the world of Plants, The Animal Kingdom, Inorganic Structures, and Aquatic Microorganisms. The book, which is stitched and well-printed on high-quality glossy paper, concludes with a list of international suppliers and addresses, and an index.

Since the many things one can look at under a microscope had to be covered by Nachtigall in just eighty pages, his survey is necessarily sketchy. Although his photographs enable us to clearly discern their structures, one will, for example, learn little of the fascinating lives and amazing talents of aquatic microorganisms. Readers who may have become interested in studying protozoa should try to locate a copy of Eric V. Grave's 'Using the Microscope: A Guide for Naturalists.' Although this book is unfortunately out-of-print, it is written in an equally engaging style and serves wonderfully to complement Nachtigall.

Whereas Nachtigall will probably leave you wanting to dash into town to look for a good microscope (though before you do you might check out Hermester Barrington's five-star review of the Meade 9400), I've no doubt that Grave will send you scurrying off to the nearest pond to search for protozoa to put under it. All three of these writers love their subject, and I should warn you that their enthusiasm is infectious.

Timeless!
An outstanding book for all who love exploring with a microscope. The material is easily understood, precise and universal in its application. Although it is was published several years ago, the material is timeless, as it applies to good techniques with any light microscope. I refer to it frequently and keep it at hand while I work with my microscopes. An absolute necessity!

Very good for learning pathologies
I am a massage therapist and used this book to teach myself the various pathologies. I recommend this book highly to any massage therapist who needs more knowledge in pathology.

A Must Have!
This book was recommended to me by another Massage Therapist. I am so glad I took her recommendation. The book is fantastic! I use it a lot and can always find what information I need. Therapists, you won't go wrong in purchasing this book. I highly recommend it for new graduates or any Therapist that wants current information at their fingertips.

Heisenberg as literary luminary, with or without physics
Qualitative, descriptive books on physics, I think, are often unsatisfying because nothing suffices like actually doing the math to appreciate the full impact and enjoyement of what physics has to offer. Yet this hasn't prevented the likes of Einstein, Hawking, Feynman, et al, from attempting to do so. Perhaps for the professional physicist such works are interesting by virtue of their historical content, but the lay reader will likely find such works wordy and boring. This book by Heisenberg transcends this milieu however, with the author's shear brilliance and eloquence an admirable spectacle in and of itself. Heisenberg is a terribly smart fellow and that comes through thoughtfully.

This book reads like a collection of essays and, perforce, some chapters could probably be left unread without great harm. Chapter 7, 'the theory of relativity,' being a case in point. No, the real beauty of this book is not in its trenchant reflections on the mechanical behavior of matter, but more on its correlation with physics as a human endeavor, and the evolution of human thought in philosophical terms, as well as language and how it expresses ideas; these themes, philosphy and language, are artfully crafted and make this book significant, not the fact that we can make atom bombs or postulate a universe.

Heisenberg emphasizes the Copenhagen interpretation, which states that the observer effects the outcome of an experiment by the very act of having observed the experiment. This is of course true primarily in terms of atomic physics and not of macro events. For example, if you try to observe an electron you will have to use high energy equipment to do so, which will effect the behavior of the electron. On the other hand, if you observe a sparrow at 100 yards with a pair of binoculars you're not really going to effect the sparrow. By observing it with binoculars you won't break its neck, which is the equivalent of what happens when you observe an electron with x-rays. The idea however, that the observer, or participant, does inject a huge influence by simply participating is significant on a macro scale in linguistic terms; a notion Heisenberg effectively sets out in chapter 10, 'language and reality in modern physics.'

The varying contexts and extensive meanings of concepts and language can and do effect the outcomes of human interactions in myriads of unpredictable ways. Perhaps at a time in humanity's past we could consider language as a logical system where a person either knew what they were talking about or didn't, or was lying or telling the truth based on what they said; a no BS kind of world where wise men judged the testimony of others in courts of reason, much like what occured in witchcraft trials, or in the way the Catholic church judged Galileo for teaching Copernican ideology. We know better now days, and this is, I believe, why Heisenberg makes such a point of the Copenhagen interpretation; not to show that it applies to macro physics, but rather to show how it applies to language and psychology. It's a tough analogy but Heisenberg makes a remarkable effort that engenders contemplation and awe. After all, we still have wise men judging the testimony of others in courts of reason, a sobering thought. This stress on linguistics may seem insignificant today but was probably more germane to the time this book was written, in 1958.

If you like physics, philosophy, and psychology, not necessarily in that order, you'll probably like this book. Chapters 4 and 5 alone, the two chapters that track the birth of quantum physics philosophically, make the price of this book a worthwhile investment.

Quantum mechanics and philosophical theories.
This book is important because Heisenberg clearly explains why quantum mechanics was fatal for great philosophical theories, and more particularly, for logical positivism and Kant.

Logical positivism affirms that all knowledge is ultimately founded in experience. This led to a postulate concerning the logical clarification of any statement about nature. But since quantum theory such a postulate cannot be fulfilled.

Kant's a priori's like space and time are viewed totally differently since quantum theory. His law of causality is no longer true for the elementary particles, because we don't know the foregoing event accurately or this event cannot be found.
Heisenberg states that it will never be possible by pure reason to arrive at some absolute truth.

Naturally this book is not up to date. It doesn't speak about COBE or superstrings. But Heisenbergs explanation of quantum theory is second to none.

Quotable. After someone said that the quantum theory may be proved false, Bohr answered: 'We may hope that it will later turn out that sometimes 2 x 2 = 5, for this would be of great advantage for our finances'.
A great book.

Not as the others
I like to read books by great physicists, however I don't find this very much pleasant because the books, compared to more recent books, have a erudite language and sometimes are out-of-date or are useless. However, this one, compared to books of his contemporaries Bohr and Einstein, is very nice to read and its full of nice discussions on physics and philosophy. Heisenberg started explaining quantum theory than studied how it affected the greek, cartesian, kantian philosophy and others. Now this is something very curious about this book: Heisenberg exposes one point of view of Kant's philosophy and argues that it is no longer valid using an argument that the proton is an elementary particle, and he finishes saying that obviously Kant couldn't guess how quantum theory would develop. Nor did Heisenberg: his argument fails with QCD advent. So, you can see that as we go further on this book it's important to stop sometimes to think about what Heisenberg is saying, and finally get to the conclusion that his ideas aren't true anymore. However you'll be able, after finishing this book, to understand how did the Copenhagen school was frightened about quantum theory and that modern physicists, such as Feynman and Gell-Mann, were/are not, facing quantum theory more naturally.

A flexible, hopeful philosophy for a new time
My letter to Werner Krieglstein regarding his breakthrough book will serve nicely as a review, and so I will reproduce it below. Anyone interested in quantum theory, consciousness, quantum animism, chaos theory, or physics needs to consider Krieglstein's recent publication as a must-read. Also, because it does helpfully outline many thoughts of traditional Western philosophy, it would be a great walk-through for any student of philosophy.
Dear Professor Krieglstein,

My name is Juliana Vazquez - I'm currently a student in your Wednesday night Philosophy 200 class. I finished reading your new book a couple weeks ago and found it to be a thought-provoking and very worthwhile journey. I particularly appreciated how readable the text was, making even complex scientific and philosophical ideas palatable and understandable to the general reader. I also enjoyed the interweaving of intensive academic research with recounts of rich personal experiences -- for example, your thoughts on Tony Robbins' seminar and different encounters you've underwent in the world of theater.

Under the category of philosophies of the "new" or "third enlightenment," I think that Transcendental Perspectivism is a viable alternative to some of the New Age concepts that are currently floating around. In contrast to the somewhat illogical, commonly contradictory, and too loosely organized theories of New Age philosophies, Transcendental Perspectivism follows more reasonable lines of thought and is outlined in a sufficiently formal fashion here on your website as well as in your recent publication.

Because I am in the process of considering a career in education, I read your chapters on the latter subject with special care and found your description of "the partnership way" to be in perfect harmony with my ideal method of instruction. Thank you for that insightful contribution to the field of education! I will be giving my presentation on education and the theory of multiple intelligences in class soon.

I also appreciated your work's continuous challenges of traditional, Western dualities -- i.e., mind vs. body, soul vs. body, reason vs. emotion, etc. Helping people truly perceive themselves, the world, and life as truly whole is an extremely important educational and personal mission to pursue.

Ideas Never Known
Compassion A New Philosophy of the Other is a book that explains philosophies throught the Western civilization we live in today. This book informs the reader of the most interesting ideas that people would never come across through their busy everyday lives, and points out the faults in our lives to give the reader a better understanding of Western society. Werner Krieglstein, writes about a great variety of different philosophies that have been in discussion since ancient Athens and explaining them in a manner that could be understood through an ordinary persons life.

Perspectivism and the Dead Head Culture
I recently read "Compassion: A New Philosophy of the Other" and found it to be very enlightening. I am always interested in learning new perspectives on old ideas. I related a lot of Krieglstein's ideas to my own experiences with the Grateful Dead culture. Mainly the idea of how compassion and sensitivity is the foundation for both views. I was also interested in the idea of how all things are inter-connected through inter-related systems. I feel that recognizing this idea that we are all connected through these systems is crucial to the development and growth of the human race towards a better tomorrow.

La Dietrich
If you were a fan of Dietrich and were allowed to own only ONE book about this woman, then this should be the book to own. To reiterate another reviewer's thought -- it is EXQUISITE.

Am amazing book!
This is a dream of a book. Full of glorious photos and facts. I highly reccommend this to all Dietrich and film fans. All public figures should be the subject of a book like this.

Photographs of Beauty
A delicacy! The best book of photographs I have seen on Dietrich and a compendium of beauty, not only hers but all that was created through and with her. A must have book.
