A men's group from our church used this book as a basis for our bible study. If you know of a men's bible study looking for a good book, I would highly suggest this one.

This book is one of the most challenging I have read on measuring myself against the word of God. It is sometime difficult to hold a mirror up and see what you really look like and then compare that to the image God has planned for us.

But the good news is that being a Man of Honor is about who you are today and who you will be tomorrow--not who you were yesterday.

Dr. Ray Pritchard does an excellent job in this book and I highly recommend it to all men who want to be challenged beyond complacency.

I truly enjoyed this book, and consider it a first-rate study of the qualities that embody a Godly man. The book is based on Scripture but also features modern examples of Godly men in today's world. Women will benefit from this book as well.

By far this is Swindler's best work (see also his "Dentition of Living Primates') - the way this book is set-up makes it incredibly easy to use and visually pleasing as well. This oversized volume follows the regional dissection (wonderfully rendered in black and white by Charles Wood) of Papio anubis and Pan troglodytes on one side and Homo sapiens and the accompanying text on the other. When performing multiple primate dissections or comparing structures this is a definite bonus. This is the only volume that I know of that approaches primate anatomy in this way - W.K. Gregory's "Anatomy of the Gorilla" comes close (esp. with the oversized fold-outs of the upper & lower limb done life size) - but doesn't provide the comparitive detail that Swindler & Wood do.

I have used this text many times both in the lab and in the classroom and heartily endorse it for anyone working in anatomy, animal sciences, primatology, and physical anthropology. This book is worth its weight in gold and you will find yourself constantly referring to it.

Also useful in this text are the charts at the end of the book covering the musculature and innervation in each genus - priceless in itself. In fact I do not know of another comparitive source for that information - I would often use these charts as handouts in classes. This is a volume that you'll never regret having - you will find yourself using it more often than you thought.

27 years after it was first published an "Atlas of Primate Gross Anatomy" remains the definitive text on catarrhine anatomy. The primary focus of the atlas is the regional anatomy of the baboon with comparative references to Pan and Man (Homo sapiens sapiens). All regions are covered with special emphasis placed on the limbs. The text is clearly written and well referenced by Dr. Swindler and beautifully illustrated in both carbon dust and pen and ink techniques by Charles Wood. This is a mandatory reference book for primate anatomists and veterinarians and is highly recommended for many specialty courses in primatology and human evolutionary anatomy.

The author, Ray Garmon, is a shrewd observer of human nature and deftly uses that skill to weave an entertaining crime novel, populated with some of the most original characters you'll ever come across in the pages of a book. Yes, good is pitted against evil, but on so many levels. This absorbing novel is unbelievably entertaining and well-written. Give this one a chance--it's a real gem!

This is one of the most interesting books ihave read in yrs, Ray garmon must have excellent writing skills to write a book with so much mystery of how a man can go from one way of life to just the opposite, really couldnt read it fast enough to get to see how thrilling and intriguing the ending was, really must congratulate mr garmon for writing this book , should be on the top sellers list in my opinion,

Man Ray was a superbly inventive photographer able to ignore the borders bewtween art & commercial photography. Originally published in 1934 as "Photographs by Man Ray 1920 Paris 1934," this collection is an excellent look at his photo work during his most adventurous years. The book is divided into five sections: general subjects; the female figure; women's faces; celebrity portraits; rayographs.

Man Ray's female figures are an offbeat take on the male gaze in which the processes are as sexy as the women. Along with his female faces, they demonstrate why Man Ray was much in demand by fashionable magazines. The "celebrity" portraits are of his fellow male artists & writers, with the exception of Gertrude Stein - who can hardly be glamorized anyway. The rayographs were created by placing objects directly on film, but the experimental nature of Man Ray's art is seen throughout this inexpensive book from Dover Publications. Picasso, Eluard, Breton, Tzara & Rrose Selavy a.k.a. Marcel Duchamp contributed texts. Highly recommended.

As with so many Dover books, 105 Works is a great bargain

I found Ray's antedotal appraoch to behavioral problems very refreshing. By showing exactly what the owners were doing wrong, I was able to see if my problems were similiar enough to warrent the same correction. Ray really respects the fact that not all dogs are the same and as a result, he presents several remedies for the reader to try. In general, Ray showed me that we are always teaching our dogs, whether we want to or not. As a result, I am much more aware of timing, proper corrections and how I interact with my puppy. A must read for all of us lucky enough to have a dog in our lives.

This story of a famous Japanese artist (1760-1849) is beautifully written and illustrated. It is a story of rising beyond the limitations of class, of educating oneself through persistence and hard work, and of not being confined by the narrow views of others to reach one's potential. Katsushik Hokusai influenced the work of Western Impressionists artists. This is a book not to be missed if you are studying this prolific artist.

This book is an extroidinary collection of Man Ray's photographic work. His use of light, composition, and solarization is one of the best.This book allows the reader to understand Man Ray's direction and motivation.

As one not normally interested in the works of Jane Austen (I can hear the mob howling already), it took quite a lot of self-persuasion to open Ray Smith's book, 'The man Who Loved Jane Austen'. Of course I had become the owner of the book not by choice, but through the kindness of a very good friend. Despite my initial doubts, I very soon found myself being happily pulled along by a gripping story of greed and deception played out by the Hatchers. An old Montreal family of upper class, narrow-minded bigots, whose power and poison is aimed at Frank, the recently widowed son-in-law, father of their two grandchildren and the main protagonist.

From the beginning one can only feel frustrated with this honest, reliable, plodding, university lecturer, who clearly loved his wife and dotes on his children and who remains for much of the time frustratingly oblivious to the evil plotting and planning unfolding around him.
The story weaves its way through the stages of this tale of treachery, only occasionally bursting through the straight jacket of misguided principles and petite nationalism of the Hatchers and their cronies, to give the reader the odd
flicker of hope in this otherwise grey tale. Ray Smith describes beautifully the vacation Frank and the children made to Nova Scotia. A very evocative piece, reminding me of my own trips to the Scottish Highlands and of how I can easily remember the feeling of the pure air in your face and the decency of the people in the safety of their
remoteness. But then Frank had Aunt Al living there. A Nova Scotian lady of quite a different stamp altogether.

For someone who opened the pages of this book rather more under duress that desire, I can vouch for a really excellent, 'can't put the book down' read. For those who already enjoy the ubiquitous Jane Austen, this must be a very satisfying alternative.

Nowhere Man is a unique story of heartache and betrayal. Follow the life of Ron Piccoda, a failing sportswriter who leaves the comforts of his New Jersey life to live in Europe. You will certainly fall in love with the main character and you will also grow to despise him. In the end you will cheer him on as he comes back to the United States to confront his demons once and for all. The story is cutting edge, with foul language and no holes barred. You won't be dissapointed; that's for sure!

Really funny book that deserves to be on the shelf of all the Dirk Gently fans out there. One man: six identities = great fun -- and a really well-equipped private eye. If you wondered about the passions of documentationalists (or tap-dancers!), this will reaveal all. Vukcevich is a premiere modern surrealist, with one eye on the punchline, and one foot dangling off the wire. Read everything he's written. With any luck, there'll be a sequel to this...!

Ray Vukcevich's fiction is so off the wall it's astonishing. Hilarious, outrageous, ingenious fun.

This book contains some of the weirdest, wackiest, cops, crooks and gumshoes you will ever meet. Vukcevich populates his vision of Eugene, Oregon, with characters you can't ignore. I can't say this is a book you can't put down, because you do - you want to savor the gems he presents to you before moving on.

My only complaint? It was over way too soon. I am now waiting for the further adventures of Howells, et al. In the meantime, I'll have to content myself with Mr. Vukcevich's short fiction.
