You'll be hooked by this book just like if you were reading a romance! Only with a few knowledge on physics, you will enjoy the reading from the Stephen Hawking's foreward to the last pages. The autors lead us through the search for the missing (or invisible) part of the Universe. The origin and the fate of the Universe in 11 parts!

Excellant photography. Simple instuctions and good tips. Addresses most paint and design techniques needed. Gives good ideas to create painted furniture with a personal touch. Well done.

If you've ever thought to yourself, "How did we ever come here to be doing what we are? How have our lives led to this? How could any of us forseen this moment? How could we ever have known it would be important?" you'll find comfort in this inspiring and thought provoking story. Kaplan's writing style is as enjoyable as big name authors JD Salinger, and William Faulkler. Though out of print, this book is worth the effort to attain a copy of your own.

This is a touching story on a parent's struggle with the loss of their son, and is intricately woven with the piece composed by Dale Grotenhuis, "Song of Triumph," which honors God and their son.

It's a story of a family who loses an extremely talented son, and how they find their way through grief by giving the glory to God.

I found it extremely touching, and a powerful story, and recommend it to anyone struggling with the "why" of death.

I am a big fan of Carol Orsborn's books (including "Inner Excellence at Work: The Path to Meaning, Spirit and Success.") It's great to read her in an informal interview with the folks at New Dimensions. They really capture the flavor of her wisdom and advice. All the authors who are featured make an important contribution to the field of spirituality and business. Read this book!

Michael Coogan has offered in this volume a translation of four of the stories from Ras Shamra, ancient Ugarit. These he calls Aqhat, The Healers, Kirta, and Baal. Each is preceded by a introduction. So for example, the introduction to The Healers notes that it may be a sequel to the story of Aqhat.

For a comprehensive study these and other religious texts found at Ras Shamra, see _Religious Texts from Ugarit_ by Nicolas Wyatt.

This was the book I used in my graduate consulting school in Arthur D. Little which was probably the most read of all my books, up to this time. I still used it as my reference now that I'm back here in Manila as a Financial executive and adopted it as my class textbook in my Strategic Management class.

He was bound determined not to paint people reading and women knitting, but instead to show people who breathed emotions into his darkly suggestive prints. "Death in the sickroom" showed family members at the ages when they were painted, not when his sister Sophie died; it expressed unity in grief as one of death's longlasting effects by seemingly overlapping planes flowing together across bleakly empty areas, starkly B&W contrasts, and stiffly posed mourners frozen in misery. "The mirror" heads of a disembodied man and woman was his first woodcut to give up the Japanese method of printing each color with a separate woodblock; instead, he jigsawed blocks into pieces according to compositional design, linked each piece with a different color, and put everything back together into a multicolored print. He considered his "Sick child II" his most important print: his first color lithograph, it focused on the diseased upper chest and the head in profile facing right against a large pillow in order to gaze with tragically meditative resignation into the flatly patterned looming void on the far right. However, his "Scream" became the most compelling image for the late twentieth century: it expressed terror before the universe by powerfully decorative lines reverberating through the starkly opposed black lines and bleakly white voids of pulsing land and sky. Elizabeth Prelinger and Michael Parke-Taylor have applied reader-friendly illustrations and text to their catalog of the Vivian and David Campbell exhibition. Their SYMBOLIST PRINTS OF EDVARD MUNCH goes down good with PROGRESSIVE PRINTMAKERS by Warrington Colescott and Arthur Hove, PRINTS AND PRINTMAKING by Antony Griffiths, EDVARD MUNCH by Josef Paul Hodin, and THE PRINT IN THE WESTERN WORLD by Linda C Hults.

let me start by saying i just got this book yesterday.Ive gotta say if you play drums or percussion and intrested in afro-cuban rythms you need this book.I would say its a great companion book to afro-cuban rythms for drumset.I would recomend getting familiar with those basic rythms first.This book is jam packed with interesting and creative beats plus a wealth of historic information.I also like the fact that theres a lot of beats with multiple cowbell parts.I look forward to playing all this stuff and incorperating it into my playing.most definately one of the top ten drum books of all time i really hope these guys put out another book in the future.

This book is wondrous. For openers, it is written so well that it is a marvel of English usage and will shame most of us that think we know the language. Secondly, it strikes a marvelous balance between pedagogy - for fundamentally this is a serious scholastic work - and the delight that the author takes in his subject.

Dealing with Thoreau to great degree, it shows how punning was a significant part of romantic literature, and should not be dealt with contempt, but rather as a serious and significant part of our literary heritage.

Plus the humor in both the the subject matter and Professor West's treatment thereof are incomparable. Highly recommended to both the scholar and the interested dilletante atracted to our language and its associated history.
