great guidebook. Describes in detail the good, the bad and the ugly of Nepal. The language section was extremely useful. A few hours spent learning some useful greetings and phrases will pay off tenfold upon arrival in Nepal. Being able to bargain or ask for directions in the native language is a lot of fun and much appreciated, especially since most travellers do not take the time to learn anything more than "Namaste."

This book has given me comfort and a wealth of information about what I would like to do and see in Nepal. Having a well planned trip in advance is smart and this book will probably tell you everything you need to know about anything, and more. Food, health issues, places to stay, sights, special points, etc. Definitely worth the investment.

I just returned from Nepal using this guide. The book was very well-written with lots of practical advice-- everything from how to book an airline to what kind of diahrrea you may have picked up. Very accurate information re. hotels, modes of transportation, etc. Useful vocabulary list.

I had the good fortune to review this for _Library Journal_ and was dismayed to learn of the author's untimely death before I could send a letter of compliments. He tells us how the less scientific "soul" concept got transformed by scientific interests. But he goes by way of Mary Shelly's _Frankenstein_ (1815), which bootlegged a radical psychology that could not have been taught or allowed in church at the time. Frankenstein's creature was dispatched into a hostile world, abused, etc. and paid "humanity" back with monstrous acts. Mary S. was a teenager when she wrote it, and most popular retellings obscure the point that Reed brings forward.
Readers who like this may also want to read Otto Rank's _Psychology and the Soul_ (1930/1998).

This book is written as an essay, with no footnotes. A bibliographical essay in the appendix serves for documentation. The style is extremely lucid, in spite of the complexity of the intellectual history recounted here. Immensely instructive, original in the connections established and information unearthed, entertaining, marvellous. Can be read as a handbook or as a consecutive narrative (that will hold your attention)

For many years I was a chronic migrane sufferor. After reading this book I have learned to eliminate migranes almost completely. The ones I do have rarely last longer than 1 hour.

This book was easy to understand, complete with pictures explaining exactly what was going on. My next migrain only took me 25 minutes to go completly away. The cure is unbeievable easy, short and affective. The price is worth it, and saves on doctors bills.

I am a leadership trainer and give over 200 programs per year. My leadership library is extensive and varied. Most of the new leadership books are just "love song" books - they are saying the same thing in a different way. In this book, the messages are the same, but the writing methodology is fresh and different.

James has accomplished an intriguing and "page turner" leadership lessons book by including detailed historic examples of each of Maxwell's 21!

I waited over a year for the book and it was worth the wait. It is well documented and well worth the cost of the book. It will definitely be a well used and valuable reference in any serious bassoonist library. It may be too advance for a beginning reed maker (Popkin & Glickman, Chris Weait, or Mark Eubanks reed books may be easier for them to follow). Thank you Mr. Skinner for sharing your knowledge.

This book is extremely useful, both for my cancer patients (not just breast cancer) but all of my patients having trouble adjusting to illness. This is a book written for the clinician who really treats patients. Although I've been working with cancer patients for a decade, this is the first book I've found that really helped me with my groups and individual patients. A MUST BUY!

Reed and Prevost offer a concise, easy-to-read summary of the Christian education. The chronology stems from ancient education to modern Christian education. The book addresses the cultural and philosophical issues that impacted Christian educators throughout history. Furthermore, Reed and Prevost also address non-Christian educators that impacted Christian education. I found that the book offered enough information to cover the subject adequately, but remained brief enough to be useful to the majority of people. This book is useful to those involved in Christian education as a tool and reflective piece.

Pawtucket, Rhode Island, has a rich history. These authors have labored well in finding that history. Among other things, they have dug through old deeds and other documents to produce maps based on the description of the land holdings before 1800. With this book in hand, you can navigate the streets of present day Pawtucket and trace history.

Important to lovers of family history, particularily the Bucklin family, are the details of family and town life before 1750.

Dr. Reed's book is truly a masterpiece. He thoroughly covers all the major areas of ceramic processing. It is very understandable and a great book to learn from. It also makes as a useful and easy-to-use reference for almost any question you might have about ceramic processing. I highly recommend it!

My daughter, age six, loves this book. The first time I read it to her, she watched the pages with wide-eyed curiosity as the story unfolded. What was in the brown bag? This book has a delightful ending that will leave you with warm fuzzies. The artwork is bright and realistic. Your young child will relate to this story... After all, what child doesn't believe his stuffed animals can come to life and talk? This book is a joy to look at and read, a favorite in our home.
