I see a deeply religious and Christian man who is not above others( in any way ) when he writes.This takes Virtue which this present generation has simply forgotten. I found Jones' evidences that the God's of Ancient India and their Ancient religions were modified. This is a Solid Evidence that the Ages in the Indian Religions are of Short time duration. Jones shows how the implementation of Numerology is used to arrive at these large numbers for years. The original intent was to derive a spiritual meaning and not to represent the precise number of years. But later generations in their Pride would say that our Indian religion is more ancient than your's.

I also would like to take note of the fold-out art work that describes, like a present day draftsmen, extinct forms of plant and animal life. These forms have no existence in present day learning. Knowledge forgotten!! Also words in foriegn languages in their recent and ancient understanding are compared one language to another. Jones had it all in his mind. He died of a lung condition when he was 47 years old. He is properly called the Father of Modern Linguistics.

In summary, Jones can talk to a little boy and respect his input. As jones said he could learn from those who simply percieve and truly value their input lest it be irreverent or disrespectful.

But the evidence of his discoveries of the commonality between different languages and his work in later years as a Botanist and with other religions and customs(ancient/recent) is Superb!! We live 70-90 years most of us. But how we lose so much because of just minor changes in our languages from generation to generation. Only books keep these treasured secrets locked away for the reader to discover. What treasures..what jewels..are kept hidden in these 13 Volumes(mostly the first 4 Volumes).

But I must warn you.. that the old English is difficult to read until you become accustomed to it.

As usual this board book has wonderful illustrations. The graphics are beatiful. The story is cute. I really enjoy reading this with my son. In each book there is one hidden pokemon to find.

Indy and his father and mother go to Egypt in 1908 and meet T.E. Lawrence or Lawrence of Arabia. They all go on an expadition and find the tomb of Kah and when the man responsable for guarding the tomb dies, Indy fears the curse of the mummy's tomb has come true. You, dear reader, will be taken on adventure to the Pyramids and you will meat some facinating people along the way.

I am a breeder of miniature horses and have several books on horse genetics. This book ties all the parts together; the scientific and practical. Since getting this book in September of 2001 I have it with me when I travel as well as by my bedside. I read it almost daily. This is a treasure for serious breeders lucky enough to get a copy. This book can help a breeder better their ability to improve the horse breed.

My only regret is that it is out of print and hard to come by.

Harriers are a rare breed in the US, this book gives you lots of information about the dogs and contains some beautiful photographs! It covers what the breed's history is, what they are like to live with, how to care for them, and demonstrates the dog's abilities with information about harrier packs, agility, obedience, and therapy work. There is also information about the harrier's health concerns and what to look for when you purchase a harrier puppy. If you are thinking about a harrier, you NEED this book!

This book is wonderful, as are all in the series by Jones. He makes philosophy come alive by placing it in the context of it's contemporaneous civilization. The great questions asked by humanity, to which philosophy addresses itself, do not come out of thin air (please excuse the cliche.) These questions are born of the search for meaning, whether it be metaphysical, epistemological, ontological, ethical, political, or so forth. The sociocultural and political milieu beg questions of meaning and truth to each generation and individual, and each must answer for themselves. Jones places twentieth century philosophy in perspective. He scrutinizes, defines and explains the great philosophical movements of our century in the context of the times. The trauma of two world wars, the challenges of scientific discovery, the alienation of the individual, the seeming futility to grasp ultimate reality are inherent in our culture, and our great philosophers have attempted to formulate theories to make sense of these phenomena. A great book which puts flesh and breath into philosophy.

This book is very well thought out. The author tries to give an argument about God. The title is a little misleading because of what he addresses. His argument is basically this: If God is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and all loving, why do black people suffer? I don't want to spoil this book, but if you are reading this review (no matter what race you are), you really should spend the money on this book. It is worth it, I assure you.

Any lover of this Gilbert & Sullivan masterpiece will gain a fuller appreciation of it by being able to follow the lyrics and dialog while listening to the operetta. The score also has a nicely written preface and synopsis of the story. Although knowing how to read music is not essential to the enjoyment of this Mikado full score, buyers that do read music will gain an even greater appreciation of it by being able to follow each instrumental line along with the lyrics of the songs. The Dover score is beautifully printed at a very bargain price to boot. Everyone can derive a great deal of pleasure from this score, no matter what level of musical training they possess. Highly Recommended! (P.S. I understand that the full score of The Pirates of Penzance is due for release this fall)

This book contains excellent photography of old cars and gas stations. Although most of the pictures were taken around the Pacific Northwest, specifically Grays Harbor County, Washington, the quality of the photographs is terrific. Great for antique car buffs. And by the way, it isn't out of print. Just contact the author.
