As a Catholic scholar and college teacher of systematic theology I cannot stress adamantly enough the importance of "Postures of the Assembly during the Eucharistic Prayer." Without question it is the single most important book I have on my shelf. Every American Roman Catholic (including every priest and bishop) who desires to be "Traditional" in the TRUE sense of the word and who is interested in experiencing a deeper level of presence and communion should understand the history of the postures of the assembly as well as its implications on comtemporary practice, which to a large extent in the American Catholic Church does NOT currently conform either with the revised Roman Rite or with the eariest traditions of the Church. Although the authors claim that the reader is left to draw his or her own conclusion at the end of the book as to which posture -- standing or kneeling -- is more appropriate for the laity, following upon their research firmly ground in Tradition (see council of Nicea, for example), doctrine and historical practice up to and beyond the first millenium, it is clear that a drastic change in the American Catholic laity's posture and theological understanding of the Eucharist is LONG overdue!

Let me admit that even a slim volume on this topic doesn't excite everyone. But this volume has a fascinating discussion on the social dimensions of posture in a ritual meal. There is exploration of the history behind posture - begining with adoration as action ... and kneeling arising out of kissing ....

Throughout the book wears its scholarship easily - creating an easy read that forces you to reevaluate the use of posture in your own faith community.

This book is loaded with technical information for the dratsman and designer. A must have for anyone who is in the mechanical technology field.

This text was the basic drafting manual that I used during my technical education; its use did not end with school, however, since I refer to it frequently in my occupation. It tells everything that needs to be explained and described in the general drawing problems that might be encountered in industrial practice. It contains excellent descriptions and illustrations for: Drawing Threads, Fasteners & Springs Geometric Constructions Clear, Concise instructions in using Drafting Instruments, (before the time of Computer Aided Drafting & Desing, in any case). An Excellent overview of the Industrial Design & Development Process, (which I wish my supervisors would read). Sectional Drawing. This book is to drafting what Machinery's Handbook, of the Industrial Press, is to the metal working industries. There are a variety of Drafting Textbooks available, but none are incrementally better, let alone drasticaly better.

Please let me know the title of page 887-888

This book is a wonderful overview of both common and difficult issues in the clinic setting, and very relevant to outpatient practice. It is easy reading, but full of practical tips and up-to-date references. I would recommend it to every primary care resident as an aid in their training.

This book covers all of the basics for how to conduct oneself in the business world. Office politics, dining, and social functions are all addressed. The wardrobe section is very helpful, as well. It offers sound clothing advice for both men and women. The women's section is noteworthy in that it gives women the freedom to actually dress like a woman in the office. Too many books of this sort pigeonhole women into the traditional black hole of a dark suit, round earrings, and sensible pumps. The dining section gives advice on being proper, but not stuffy, at the table. There is also a useful glossary on hard-to-eat foods. This book offers useful and practical tips for the seasoned executive and the young up-and-comer, alike. I recommend it to anyone in the business world.

For those in search of any analysis on the subject of
of this book, look elsewhere. However, if you are looking
for a copy of what the title implies, this book delivers: that
is all it is!

If you enjoy giving your children beautifully illustrated books with delightful, entertaining and informative content, this is a wonderful addition to your child's library.

"Down Buttermilk Lane" is a great way to introduce your child to the Amish way of life. Through it's colorful pictures and colloquial writing, it transports you to Buttermilk Lane, a road that really exists.

My son loves riding in the car and leafing through the pictures as we pass Zimmerman's store, the Ebersol Chair Shop,and many beautiful farms in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

A beautiful book in every way.

Having studied and taught the Pilgrim's Progress to my adult Sunday School class, I was happy to find this children's version to read to my kids. My two sons, ages 4 and 7, were enthralled as we read a chapter a night for 11 evenings. The illustrations are extremely well done and captivate young imaginations. The storyline is true to the original, with no sugarcoating. Obviously, it is best for a parent to have read and understand the actual book before reading this version with their kids. That way, they'll be able to elaborate and teach by asking leading questions (Why did the people at Vanity Fair kill Faithful? Why did Christian have to go through the Valley of the Shadow of Death?) For adult readers, the best version I have found is one produced by Bunyan Ministries...

John Hanson Mitchell obviously, truly loves this subject (as well as his land). He lovingly explores all parts of a small plot of land & the myriad creatures that live & interact there to create a whole ecosystem. He pulls together all the parts in a very entertaining & readable field guide to observing nature.

I am using the book on daily basis. It is excellent reference for any hydraulic system. It contains a description of all components and their functions then move to troubleshooting the component. It is well organized book and deserves reading it.
