Exploration Of Africa: Sudan adds to the Chelsea House 'Emerging Nations' series, providing focus on African explorations and history. Harmon's focus on the Sudan reveals the history of the country, from life before the arrival of white settlers to changes which occurred after. An excellent focus on the land, people and politics of the area.

This little book should be in every home bartender's library. It is filled with recipes for refreshing summer (and winter) drinks. From Long Island Ice Tea to Margaritas to Sangria, it has it all and much more! Loads of pictures, a section on suggested liquors and bar tools, and lots of easy to follow directions make preparing your favorites simple. It also has a section on non-alcoholic drinks for the designated driver! A great handbook!

Exellent review of the modern state of liquids physics.

This is an essential book for the supervising psychotherapist, be the supervisor a psychologist, a marriage and family therapist, a psychiatrist, a social worker or an analyst.

The authors succeed in conveying the subtleties and nuances of teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in an easy to read and well-organized manner. The content is serious and clinically sophisticated. The authors' candor and many real life examples keep the reader riveted as specific supervisory encounters are presented along with clinically well thought out teaching strategies. Throughout the text suggested supervisory interventions are accompanied by clinical explanation.

This book lends a refreshing clinical depth to the chapters dedicated to the opening phase of supervision, supervisory interventions and termination. In my opinion, the chapters on Self-Esteem Issues for the Supervisee and The Supervisor's Role reach the core of the delicate balance of the supervisory relationship. Other chapter titles include: Inductive and Associative Modes of Thought, Affect and Professional Development and, How Personal Should Supervision Be?

In The Supervisory Encounter there is no dogmatic stance but instead the reader encounters an attitude that is tolerant of different individual styles of supervision and of learning. This attitude conveys compassion and respect for both the supervisee and the supervisor while maintaining the boundary and the distinction between psychotherapy and the teaching of psychotherapy.

To all,

This book is diary with much detailed about the life of a 42 year old (pretty old back then) Surgeon (1st Lt...thus a acting assistant surgeon) in the Army of the Potomac in 1862 to 1863. A very interesting story is when his is captured by CSA forces in battle. A CSA soldiers also comes up to him (he is looking for wounded) and tried to shoot him at point blank range. A misfire saved his life. Later, R.E. Lee returns his personal item and lets him return to Yankee lines.

A bit slow at times for for history buffs or reenactors (I play a Union Surgeon in the ACWA.org), then a grand book indeed.

Sincerely,

I remain your humble servant, Major Arthur Henrick.

This book is the first of its kind to prepare you in total for the Absite examination. This book incorporates basic science with the clinical science in order to allow you to review for the tests in a short text version without having to decipher through large textbooks. It has references to O'leary, the basic science book used during my residency, as well as to other major textbooks. This book seems to cut out the redundency of larger books and includes small facts that they love to ask on the exam. A must for those with weak scores or those looking to gain extra points... who isn't.

I have been buying art books related to private collections for the past 10 years and this is the most comprehensive book of a private collection that I have seen. I has been divided for the works on canvas, paper, sculpture, art objects, etc. I am also a collector and if I would try to make a book of my own collection I would follow the same format of this book. Finnaly to make this book indispensable is the incledible collection that these two collectors where able to put together and to the Museum that made this exposition posible. To all art collectors this is a must of how an art collection should be.

Decades ago while earning a graduate degree in comparative literature, I happened to come upon a badly-written novel authored by George Du Maurier. When I later asked my professor about it, he explained that Trilby was in fact a bestseller after its publication (in 1894) but that its only claim to literary fame is that it introduces a character named Svengali. I recalled that conversation as I began to read Pick's book. It is a brilliant achievement. The "web" to which the title refers consists of all manner of connections between hypnotism and anti-Semitism. Those connections are presumably what attracted Pick to Trilby and, especially, to the implications of the novel's great success in Victorian England.

Centuries earlier in A Merchant in Venice, Shakespeare introduced a usurer named Shylock who was viewed with contempt by most of the other characters. Revealingly, only Shylock fully honors all of the terms and conditions in his financial transactions to which others voluntarily (indeed eagerly) agree and yet he is reviled. Indeed, he is the principal victim in the play and yet, even today, is often viewed as the villain...usually by those who have not read the play or at least not read it with care. Shylock's name remains synonymous with unscrupulous money-lenders. Perhaps Pick had this in mind as he began to examine the character Svengali whose name is synonymous with hypnotic, almost irresistible evil. In any event, with consummate skill, Pick uses Svengali as a focal point through which to examine all manner of social and political forces at work in late-19th century England. In our own age when so many movies seem to be made primarily to sell merchandise, the "Trilby Phenomenon" also suggests commercial implications of mesmerizing significance.

A book every school child should have in their curriculum,maybe then they may appreciate their heritage.A wonderful historical eye opener,thank you.

From the Ice Age to the assasination of Olof Palme, Scott digs into every nook and cranny of Sweden's history. The account is blissfully more than political, though that is the backbone of the book. Besides hitting the military conquests, the great kings, etc. The farming life, the culture, the art, literature, and science of Sweden are also major points in this book, perhaps more aptly a history of the Swedish people, rather than just the nation's history.

Of course, Gustav II Adolph and the tragic Karl XII and the Great Northern War are probably the two greatest contributions of the Swedish people to the development of continental Europe, and they are dealt with very well in this book. But, the shoes of an Empire always too large for Sweden, the book reflects more on the progressive and peaceful transitions and compromises that have made Sweden's politics unique in the world, and more recently, almost a miracle. From the alliance of the monarch and the people against the nobility in the policy of land reduction which forever halted feudalism, to the age of freedom in which Sweden experimented with a bourgeoise liberalism, and finally through the gradual peaceful fall of plutocracy into democracy and the welfare state, Sweden has proved itself to be an iconoclast of domestic and foreign policy.

The author(s) *the 1986 revision contains an additional Epilogue* end on a probing discussion of the Welfare state. The great progressive achievement, they find, rests almost solely on the rich culture of Sweden, a conclusion one can hardly disagree with. A great portrait of a brilliant nation!
