The illustration of Humpty Dumpty in this collection has won the heart of our 14 month old daughter (and her parents). The book is full of favorite rhymes and classic illustrations. And it even has a few of the "politically incorrect" ones .

This is a scholarly historical account of the many causes of world discord - the author deals with all the world's major religions, plus the influences on historical events of secret brotherhoods like the Templars and Freemasons. He credits many of the wars of the 18th century (including the American and French revolutions) with "armys for hire" (which is how a German came to sit on the English throne - England owed Germany so much money for leased armys the Germans ended up "owning" the country). He also deals with the invention of currency and the power of world banks that currency made possible. He disclaims any prior intent to include in the book "alien" influences on world history, but finds this conclusion inescapable after extensive research. He conlcudes that Ezekiel, Jesus, Mohamad, Budha, and many other great religious leaders were "hypnotized" by aliens (each had a life-altering "vision") and manipulated into forming new religions - this proliferation of religions aided the agenda of creating world discord which, of course, persists to this day. This book is a keeper and a must-read for history buffs, conspiracy theorists, alien-phenomina researchers, and those interested in secret brotherhoods, economics, and of course, religions.

WITH ITS RE-WRITING OF THE ORIGINS OF ENVIRONMENTALISM, THIS BOOK IS PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BOOK PUBLISHED IN ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. I FELT IT COMPARED WELL WITH SIMON SCHAMA'S LANDSCAPE AND MEMORY IN HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND THE EVOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IN PARTICULAR THE NOTION THAT ENVIRONMENTALISM BEGAN ON FRENCH OCEANIC ISLAND COLONIES, ESPECIALLY ON MAURITIUS, IS A REVOLUTIONARY ONE.

This was one of my favorite books when i was little and i suggest it to everyone who has a young child.

This is a concise and highly interesting, readable account of the development of theories of interpretation from Classical rhetoric and law (Plato and Cicero) to Augustine, Erasmus, and Melanchthon.

This book is wonderful! A must read for any Christian, counselor, or someone just looking for insight into themselves. Gary Moon goes through the eight "leaps" to finding peace and joy. He explains how everyone is searching for the lost Garden of Eden. Through anecdotes and analogies as well as examples of life situations from his own clinical practice and life, Moon touches your heart and has you striving to reach the inner peace that he has found and helped others to find.

There's no way to descern from the title and cover page that there are really eight delightful stories in this one little book. My main problem is that they all had to end! They should be expanded and rewritten into their own complete novels. I am a big fan of British writers and this catchet of little ditties proved to be BRILLIANT!

This little book has a great big inside.....
It is full of awe and wonder for a small child to giggle through... or an adult to be whimsically delighted.
