I began reading this book after I had read many of George MacDonald's books that were edited by Michael Phillips. The book does an excellent job of explaining life events that influenced MacDonald's writings and relating those life events to the books George MacDonald wrote during those times. Familiarity with the books has helped me relate more to his life. Having read this book, I have a MUCH better understanding of George MacDonald, his relationships with family members and his faith in God. It makes me appreciate his books even more.

Love of the homeland, insights into the clans relationships, Christian ethics lived in life, wonderful action and unexpected plot twists, FUN! and it made us feel like we wanted to be truer to the truth of Christ ourselves from reading of others experiences. You'll love it!

The discovery of geomagnetic field reversals has been one of the most significant findings of paleomagnetism. The development of the Geomagnetic Polarity Timescale has led to it becoming an important dating tool. Analysis of the statistical properties of this timescale has led to some of the most effective observational constraints on geodynamo theory. The book provides and in-depth review of the development and implications of this fascinating aspect of paleomagnetism.

Three internationally recognized experts in geomagnetism and paleomagnetism have combined to create a unique text that integrates these topics with dynamo theory. The text is written in such a way that readers with a background in any one of these fields can appreciate and understand related topics in the other disciplines. A comprehensive introduction is given to each topic, which is then carried through to a current state-of-the-art review. Although some of the advanced aspects of dynamo theory require a thorough mathematical background, the development in the book is done in such a way that most of the material should be accessible to those without a strong mathematical background.

Michael Phillips did an excellent job of reproducing George MacDonald's Alec Forbes of Howglen. This book has all the touching qualities of a George MacDonald book with all the thought provoking one-liners that we all know George sat and crafted carefully.

Though these 3 books are not what I consider MacDonalds best works, but they are still excellent. Phillips had done a great job of cutting out alot of sermonization, yet still retains the true essense of what MacDonald wrote that is as revelant in our day, as it was in his. All 3 books are great reads for anyone looking for a good read in Christian fiction, but whose standards may be higher than many of the so called christian fiction out there today. These are the books you want to pass on down to your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and anyone who loves to read a good clean book.

The main character in this book is thought to be patterned after the Author himself. It's the story of a young man who was raised by his Grandmother. Her narrow Calvinist beliefs nearly drive him away from her. The pure love of God in his heart gives him patience and understanding for her, and endears him to others he meets as he grows into manhood. This book also provides a glimpse into Scottish life in the late 1800's.
