I would like to say that I have read this book, and I feel that the author has done a tremendous job with the book. I have know the author for years and have worked with her in many religious forums. I highly recommend the book because it has a powerful message and the author is very sincere. The book is so powerful that you feel that you are with Christ during his last days on Earth. I highly recommend it.

Our 21 month old son adores this book. He loves looking at and pointing to all the animals, so beautifully drawn. We were not sure if he would sit through the entire book, but it is quite engaging with the story of Gilbert the gorrilla and his animal friends having their first sleepover. Our son loves hearing about all the fun activities during the sleepover and the ending is a lesson in true friendship. Though the friendship lesson is a little aabstract for him right now, he enjoys all the other aspects of the book and it is a book with which he can grow. Highly recommended!

Originally published in 1937 as Black Hamlet: The Mind of an African Negro Revealed by Psychoanalysis, the book was written between 1933 and 1936 by the South Africa psychoanalyst and physician Wulf Sachs, and was the result of Sachs' meeting and subsequent "analysis", of John Chavafambira ("Black Hamlet" of the book), a Manyika (present day eastern Zimbabwe) nganga (healer-diviner). The book Black Hamlet - whose genre is difficult to define, being part case history (but more like a psychoanalytic biography), part narrative, part projection, part anthropological research, part historical account - concerns Sachs' account of the life story of John Chavafambira the Manyika healer-diviner who moves from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to Johannesburg in the early 1920s. The narrative account attempts to parallel the life of John with Shakespeare's Hamlet, recounting John's birth into family of well-known Manyika diviner-herbalists (ngangas), his father's untimely death, and his mother Nesta's marriage to his uncle, Charlie (also an nganga), according to tribal tradition, and John's attempt to deal with his oedipally based neuroses. This is set against the background of migrant labor in 1930s Johannesburg, and the emergence of both legalized racial segregation and African resistance. As both the authors of the two introductions, Saul Dubow and Jacqueline Rose point out, Black Hamlet is also an important document of South African pre-Apartheid discourse about Africans and their political and economic circumstances before 1948 and raises important questions about cultural difference and psychological intervention. The book is also a rich document in the medical and psychological history of Southern Africa, and can be situated in the larger debates about the "medicalisation of the African body", as well as the relationship between medical and psychological discourse and the discourses of racism and colonialism. The book is in essence Sachs' attempt to argue against racially based classifications of psychic difference by resorting to the "Hamlet" narrative and the universalist assumptions of Freudian psychoanalysis. These concerns make the book an important text for current debates about cultural difference and psychology. Reading Black Hamlet is like reading a detective story, a case history and an epic. It's also like reading a travelogue, or an anthropological work, intermingled with an account of a mythic journey into the exotic and archaic past of "tribal" existence. But finally perhaps Black Hamlet strikes one as a uniquely South African Bildingsroman, one which both captures the uniqueness of the particular colonial configuration and an interestingly modern tale of one man's search for his identity.

I was totally engrossed in this charming, funny, poignant and gripping story that I got very little sleep! I literally could not put it down as I anxiously waited for events to unfold. It touched on all of my emotions. Jacqueline truly outdid herself with this book!

This book is a very basic body language book. It does address how important it is to present a pleasant impression. It goes through a lot of basic things, including table mannaers and proper greetings. I learned alot from this book

Can the Kennedys ever have a bad photograph taken of them? It is appears not, as this book illustrates. CAMELOT AT DAWN is kind of an artsy photojournalism feast for the eyes, and although at first glance the text will seem to have general information that we all know about, it too is a treat.

Orlando Suero had his first big assignment taking pictures of Jacqueline Kennedy for McCall's magazine for an article. It would turn out that most of his shots would not be used because the press felt that the Kennedys had been overexposed in the media due to their wedding--so it is only now in this book that most of the pictures taken for that assignment have been published.
Suero says that JFK manages to sneek himself into most pictures, and so the final result became as much as about him as Jackie...but we also see the Bobby Kennedys as well as the former President Trumans.

Some of these pictures have been published in other books, so not all of them are seen here for the first time, but seeing them within the context that they were shot makes the photos that have been seen before all the more interesting. However, it is only a few--most of these are just being seen for the first time.

As for the text, some of it is "well duh" text because it is known by everybody:"Jackie was a silver-and-Sevres kind of girl, whereas Jack was a milkshake-and-hamburger kind of guy." (I am not cutting on Anne Garside's writing--because the book is actually quite good, I am just trying to point out that some of the information that she writes everyone knows in their sleep...as that is how famous Jack and Jackie have become.) Now don't take this sentence of Garside's alone--you have to read the whole book before you dare judge her writing, and in my estimation she has succeded in the overall scheme in making two well known sujects seem like new again. How does she do this?
For example, there is information about the renting of Dent Place--where these photographs are taken as well the Kennedys first home--which is interesting because we get to see excerpts from Jackie's letters to the Childs (the people who the Kennedys were renting the house from.)
Also information about Evelyn Lincoln's calender is given as to what the Kennedy's were doing the week the photos were taken, as well as little details spread out throughout the text that make the book an interesting read.

I believe that this is a standout book published on the Kennedys. It is informative and orginal in text, and the pictures easily give Lowe, Avedon, and Shaw a run for their money. You can and will enjoy this book if you give it a chance--don't get stuck on the information about the JFKs that we all know or the pictures that we have all seen--read the entire book and appreciate the entire book!

This book aims to teach campus dwellers how to fend for themselves for the first time away from the home hearth--and it does a great job. Taking the learning cook from the very basics--hardboiled eggs--to more complicated recipes, it presents one month of meals that are cheap, easy and quick to prepare, nutritionally balanced, and tasty. Some vegetarian meals are included. Every student should go to college with this book, particularly if their previous kitchen experience was limited to reheating frozen burritoes. Not for the gourmand, it will help keep pizza runs and the "freshman 15" to a minimum.

This highly illustrative tome includes pencil sketches and tracings showing lines of force for Friedrich's major works. In addition, an in-depth discussion of his life, including cultural and socio-political influences, is discussed concurrent with a review of not only his major masterpieces, but his minor, early works as well. An absolute must for anyone who has become enamored with his work, or the work of other similar sublime, landscape artists of the period.
