This was a very good book and will keep you interested.

You know what you know - don't you? Do you know what you don't know? You probably know by now everything the teachers told you in school was not true, a product of ignorance or just plan wrong (if not then you are indeed in for a shock with this book). Get ready to learn some truth from this book. These authors are not shy about being straight forward with their assertions, for example: "...just about everything archaeologists have ardently believed about ancient America is wrong" or "Finally, it is important for readers to understand that the vast majority of 'facts' recorded in history books about ancient America simply aren't true. Since 1997, almost all of the most sacred 'truths' in academic archaeology have been proven false by archaeologists willing to risk their reputation and academic standing." The authors report, "...the events that occurred in the Americas in the remote past were far more complex than had ever been imagined." This work of Greg Little, John Van Auken and Lora Little further the 1960s adage "question authority" while following the key principle of get your facts straight and document your facts. This book is a shot across the bow of established archaeology, anthropology, history, political correctness, and those who think of psychic phenomena in general and the famous American psychic Edgar Cayce as nothing but nutty business perpetrated by nutty people. The evidence is very carefully presented in this book. This evidence will be very difficult for the orthodox scientist to reject if they are interested in truth and the scientific method. I bet your teachers did not teach you about Atlantis, Mu, and ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Japanese or the Lost Tribes of Israel involvement in ancient America and how that influenced the mound building cultures of America (shucks, my teachers never even told me about mound builders period). Your teachers may have mentioned the Norse people visited America a few hundred years before Columbus - although they probably did not tell you of evidence of the Norse being in Oklahoma! Mine sure did not. The authors are intellectually honest saying clearly when the evidence is lacking and/or Cayce was wrong (not that Cayce ever claimed to be infallible). For me the underlying context of this book is spiritual. Yes I was interested in the archeology, anthropology, historical and educational aspects of this book, however, the book gives rational/scientific evidence that support spiritual concepts that I have interest in as well. All the above is a long way to say I found the book a good factual read and food for though that will grow me spiritually. Who could ask for more than that from a book?

This book is dating, but its analysis and insights are powerful! I loved it and highly recommend it.

John Hume is a virtually unknown figure in the United States, but he has been steadily gaining recognition due to his work in the Northern Irish peace agreement. This recognition is overdue and much deserved. This monumental book outlines Hume's political philosophy - a philosophy which seeks to brush aside the vengefulness and intransigence of Northern Ireland's past, searching instead for reconciliation through justice for all. Hume is heavily influenced by Matin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy, and quotes from these two figures flavor Hume's text. Hume's themes may seem repetitive, and his ideas seem to be based on the shakey foundation of human progress, but this work demonstrates that he is a champion for for a true peace in Northern Ireland - a peace that is just for all.

_Photographic Atlas for the Anatomy and Physiology Lab_ is a fantastic lab supplement. This book is composed of clear pictures with helpful labeling. The majority of the pictures are of human dissections, with appendices of cat, rat, and fetal pig dissections. In terms of photographs, this book is wonderful! Very little is included in the way of text, but I still enthusiastically recommend this book for anyone interested in Human Anatomy.

In my over 20 years of teaching HS Biology, I have never come across a more useful and complete reference. The illustrations are excellent and the use of labeled photographs is just the thing to verify classroom and laboratory observations. This book will be an extremely useful and used book to any biologist, biology teacher and biology student.

i have a dumb teacher that is making me do a leaf project and this helpe

I am a graduate student teaching Zoology, using a borrowed copy of the book. It has the best general information about various Phyla, and clearest pictures of any resource text I've used.

This book is very readable and refreshing. It is an excellent reminder of how easy and fulfilling it is to make prayer a part of your everyday life. I keep the book handy and page through it, reading bits and pieces whenever I have a moment to pick it up. This book contains several examples of prayer, in an "off the cuff" style, covering topics of which most anyone can relate to. It is a pleasure to read over and over, a little or a lot at a time!

Inspirational. Profound. Practical. A companion.

A one page/three-minute read every day. And an opportunity to plumb the depths of what it means to be a man or a woman.

Philosophy has been called: The Queen of all Sciences. These meditations are from the mind of a brilliant philosopher. A great intellect. An extraordinary human being. A man who has used his mind to reason to Truth. A Truth reflected in his personal life. A life that has transcended and soared above personal tragedy, Naziism, Communism, and Modernism.

This book provides the reader with a few minutes each day to reflect on what is most meaningful to each of us: relationships, work, marriage, family, sex, education, success, failure, suffering, tragedy, death, life.

"Prayers and Devotions: 365 Daily Meditations" is a reflection of other writings by John Paul, such as "Fides et Ratio", which is a treatise discussing the interdependence and complementarity of Faith and Technology. "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth---in a word, to know himself---so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."

From "Veritatis Splendor": "The splendor of truth shines forth in all the works of the Creator and in a special way in man, created in the image and likeness of God. Truth enlightens man's intelligence and shapes his freedom, leading him to know and love the Lord. Hence the psalmist prays: 'Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord.'"

And from "Evangelium Vitae": "The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus' message. Lovingly received day after day by the church, it is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as 'good news' to the people of every age and culture."

"Prayers and Devotions" capsulizes much of the thought of John Paul. It is a rich treasure with each page providing jewels to be discovered, polished, and reflected upon. A book to be read, enjoyed, shared, and re-read.
