This is a steamy read that I found difficult to put down once I started to read it. One of the most delightful books I have ever read.

Naomi Mitchison¹s masterful recreation of ancient Scythia must surely stand as one of the most enduring historical novels of the century. In clear, pristine prose (which reminds me of Ursula LeGuin), Mitchison describes the mystical, sometimes horrible, world of her protagonist Erif Der (Red fire backwards). I first stumbled across this long novel in 1988 while at university. Rereading it last year was a sheer pleasure. The old-fashioned, very British, tone of the writing is not in the slightest bit off-putting. Here is a remarkable writer at the height of her powers. Like Ursula LeGuin, again, Mitchison has the uncanny ability to transport her readers to alien cutures and to make these foreign worlds, and the people who live there, as relevant as they are mesmerising. If you haven¹t experienced Naomi Mitchison before, then I can¹t think of a better place to start than with The Corn King and the Spring Queen.

This book and the cassette of the same title are wonderfully entertaining for children of all ages. The author combines music and stories to capture your attention. My kids request this over and over and can sing along and tell the stories as we hear them on the cassette. We found these available at our local library and it would be well worth having our own copy. Enjoy!!

Naomi Ozaniec is an astute and wonderful writer, and this book is a wonderful book for showing the early roots, of Goddess Beliefs. She follows the Goddess from her beginnings of the dawn of early Patriarcal Society, into the dawn of the Mesopotamian Civilization, and onward threw Egypt, Creete, Rome, Greece, Japan and Okinawa..and threw many more interesting and deep mysteries of these ages.

She not only touches on realistic issues of the time, but shares poetry, and the ideas of the age threw these pages.

I would highly say, that if you are looking for a book that isn't something full of fluff, but worth a read, that makes you grow and think, I suggest finding yourself a copy of this lovely and well written, and well thought out book.

I think you'll agree.

Have you ever pondered the question, What is a decent society? Does the thought keep you awake at night, wondering, is the society in which I live decent?, and if not, do we sincerely ask oursleves, for example, am I decent anyway? and if not, and so on, do I need to do anything to change that situation?

In this book, Avishai Margalit explains how he constructed his moral philosophy based on the following: a decent society or civilized society is one in which the institutions of that society do not humiliate people who are subject to their authority, and in which no citizen humilates another citizen or themselves. Avishai Margalit goes on to argue that what is more important is not a "just society" but a "decent society", based on the equilibrium between liberty and equality, a society where cruelty and humiliation has been completely erradicated.

This books influence should reach far beyond the confined bounds of formal philosphical debate and should be championed - or at least taken very seriously - by all decent and prospective politicians everywhere. Not since Rousseau himself has anyone approached the subject with such intelligence and passion as has Avishai Margalit. Reading this book, was for me, like living a really extraordinary experience, as I sure it will be for you.

I can't recommend this drug book highly enough. While having all the nice features of lab values, chemotherapy protocols, vaccinations, skin testing, etc., it also has a bonus feature of listing Canadian and Mexican drug names. This is a very resourceful book for both new and experienced MTs.

This book was the first sesame street book i read to my daughter and since then i still read it to her every night. She learned the animal sounds and to name them all in this book. i recommend this book to the parents who read to their kids at night or when ever they read to them because i think it a wonderful book to have or better yet to add to your sesame street collection.

Two years ago, many of us were at a conference in San Francisco that led to the new book, "Families at Work: Expanding the Bounds," edited by Naomi Gerstel, Dan Clawson, and Robert Zussman (Vanderbilt Press, 2002,[$$$]+shipping from amazon.com). I thought the conference was great, but the book is even better. Whether due to the judicious selection of chapters, or superb editing, the book serves as a great reader on work/family research, and particularly for qualitative research (I know,
some of the quant folks hit the ceiling when an 'N' of 36 pops up, but I find much of it very insightful). Many of the chapters are on topics where little is otherwise known -- including the division of labor among lesbigay couples, the meanings of reciprocity among single moms, how moms think about the needs of teenagers, how work & family have fit into the lives of political activists, and how being a 'nerd' translates into masculinity in
high-tech jobs. Two of the papers have already become classics of some sort -- a chapter from Francine Deutsch's "Halving It All" on blue-collar couples, and a chapter by Gerstel and Clawson on unions and w/f. A majority of the chapters have admittedly been published elsewhere already, but it would be very difficult to put all of the articles together yourself for, say, a course, and the book would work very well at the senior undergrad or grad level. Great work & congrats to the editors!

You will enjoy this precious accumulation of healthy recepies. Ideal for singles that don't have time to take care of themselves. One suggestion on the chocolate mousse: One coffee spoon of coffee instead of the brandy, and use Lindt dark bitter sweet chocolate. Aslo keep in freezer and not the fridge.
