This book, written by the Right Reverend Daniel S. Tuttle gives not only a solid account of his twenty years as the Missionary Bishop of Idaho. Tuttle's work took him to Utah, which is and was predominantly Mormon. In his book Tuttle remembers his work building St. Marks Cathedral, St. Mark's School, St. Mark's Hospital, and his experiences with the Mormons. His writing style is extremely old fashioned, which adds to its relevance. This autobiography adds historical prospective regarding a time and place who's history had been rewritten by those who are in power. If you are looking for an entertaining read, then avoid this book like the plague. If you want to learn about the life of a fascinating man and the world he lived in, then I would strongly recommend it.

Bishop Tuttle consecrated my parish church and was a lively and enthusiastic man who loved his fellow man

What a wonderful book for anyone who has either grown up or lived in Morris Plains, NJ, the "Community of Caring." Through photos, many of which date from the turn of the century to the early 1950's, the book tells the story of a small, friendly town in Northern New Jersey where even today, you get the feeling that "everyone knows your name." It was interesting to find out about the history of some of the first people who shaped the community. Also intriguing, was seeing pictures of the many buildings in "the downtown" and homes that are still standing today. To quote the end of the book, I think many people who have lived in Morris Plains could attest, "The more things change, the more they remain the same." Again, what a wonderful gift for anyone associated with Morris Plains, the "Community of Caring!"

Having grown up in Morris Plains I was fascinated by the pictorial history contained in the book. The names appearing in the text describing the 50's and 60's were names common at my kitchen table. Two generations of my family were barbers in Morris Plains so my family was well-grounded in Morris Plains history. The book (Mr. Myers lived just down the road from my home) is an extremely accurate record of the establishment and growth of the area and captures the "home town" feel that I remember so fondly. It is a concise look into a simpler past that is recalled with great joy by people all over the United States, with special interest for those of this area.

I have found use for this book in the practice of pharmacy. Drug prices are included which is good. The best part is where there is evaluation of the drug in the context of similiar drugs that are available. This information is helpful when deciding if a new more expensive drug is worth the money over similiar drugs that are less expensive.

I am a specialist physician. This is very helpful with practical dosing, formulations and cost of medications. Easy to look up side effect listing. This book makes me hate the PDR even more.

About a really funny dog from outer space who can talk to people and other animals. This dog is really smart and it prefers to eat food that humans would eat, especially roast duck with all the fixings. It made me laugh a lot.

My favorite part was when the girl (Kelly) found out that Mush was a dog from space. Noa

The Draper Interviews provide insight into the life of Boone, free of the myth and larger than life stereotype that has always surrounded this remarkable frontiersman. Nathan Boone's recollections of his father also gives us a glimpse of how Daniel himself viewed the world in which he lived and allows us to more clearly understand the man from which the legend sprung. Though many books written from similiar interviews are dull and rather boring, the Draper Interviews are arranged so that they make for rather stimulating reading and keep the reader eagerly in longing for the next chapter. Truly a "must read" for anyone interested in Daniel Boone or early Kentucky history.

Nathan Boone and his wife, Olive van Bibber Boone, had the kind of memories most people wish for. They remembered virtually all of the early history of Commonwealth of Kentucky. When Lyman Draper came to visit them for two months in 1851 he found them full of the most interesting and detailed memories of Daniel Boone. Not only had the elder Boone lived with them and shared his own memories, they had also lived through many of the incidents themselves, and knew many of the old pioneers -- old van Bibber was one of the earliest settlers in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Enjoyable, highly readable. I highly recommend this book.

i really like this book, its very interesting .

How did Pueblo life change under Spanish and practices play in the live of the Pueblos?

This is collection of short stories that offers a wide mix of speculative genres. Fantasy, SF, horror, and just plain weird. The stories run the gambit and most are good. "Jeo Defined" and "Moon Warrior" were excellent stories and well worth purchasing the book. Even just the so-so stories were enjoyable and all the authors are names to keep a look out for. In the end, this is a book of up and coming writers and a few of them will no doubt be big names someday.

I didn't know what to expect from this collection of short stories but I was happily surprised. The stories cover a wide range from fantasy, science fiction, and horror to those hard to classify strange stories. Each one is worth reading. My favorites were the one about a radio personality who was singing the Siren's song and the one about a criminal who is forced to undergo "augmentation" to control him. Some wild stuff for a great read.

I picked my title for this review before I located the best reason for thinking so on page 131, which mentions the history of the link between philosophy and the politics of those who demystify "only in order to mystify better. Although this programme was initially tied to the exercise of power, it here becomes a rule of thought, a metaphysical conception . . . It is not simply a matter of destroying the notions of the true and the false; it also concerns the entrance of obscure forces on to the stage through the moral ruin of the intellect." I read this book as a way of approaching an understanding of the politics of a superpower which is dedicated to keeping its strategic thinking truly nukers, but I appreciated the book more for the frank realization of the pain involved in facing such a dismal philosophy realistically. Nietzsche admitted this most clearly in a letter which he wrote to Gast on 5 October 1879, "I have reasons for fidelity here, for 'behind thought stands the devil' of a tormenting attack of pain." (p. 18) The letters printed from pages 16 to 22 in the chapter on "The Origin of a Semiotic Impulse" are outstanding. On a lighter note, I could play games with the index, where "Jokes" would appear, but it wouldn't be nice for those involved if I pointed out that there aren't any entries between . . . (this would have been funnier if there was an entry for the Joint Chiefs of Staff). There are a lot of entries for "monstrosity," though. Using the index entry for absurdity leads to the assurance that there are some limits which really ought to be observed, because "formations of sovereignty cannot claim to exercise the absurd as violence--if they do not assign themselves a meaning--a meaning in which servitude, the subjected forces, would participate-- and this meaning can never be that of pure absurdity." (p. 119) In short, it is possible to read this book, but it is hardly likely to be edifying unless the reader is deeply vexed and willing to surrender a lot of the sense that a simple circle could pretty much sum up everything, or put things in their respective places and keep them there.

For a long time this was the most important book on Nietzsche in French that had NOT been transalted into English. So this transaltion is doubly welcome for its tardiness in arriving. This is not an introduction to Nietzsche that makes his thought accessible or understandable by putting Nietzsche's writings into some explanatory context of other philosophical movements . Rather, it attempts to show just how strange, unique, and disorienting Nietzsche's thought can be. Read this book and you'll appreciate the degree to which attempts to "make sense" of Nietzsche invariably tend to simplify, and thereby distort, his thought - they fail to grapple with Nietzche's virulence and indigestibility.

A refreshing book with something rare in environmental writing; an encouraging look at the future! This book presents a clear point throughout: technology, civilization, and nature are not at odds with each other, but are best viewed as actually deeply connected and at this point, interdependent.

I had the good fortune to read this book in page proof and enjoyed it immensely. Botkin does a wonderful job of pointing out how Thoreau's methodologies were far in advance of his time and provide us with encouraging examples of how we ought to relate to the natural world on the one hand and the civilized world on the other. Highly recommended--particularly at this remarkably low price for a hardcover!

When I read " On The Right Track " I was bewitched. The story was about dinosaurs and also it was a detective story.Fenton and Willy were searching about the absent finger of the dinosaur track. They were clever and also they knew very much abaut dinosaurs. So they solved the mystery easily. It was marvellous to read a detective story about dinosaurs. I'll be happy to read B.B. Calhoun's other books about dinosaurs.

I read this book to my seven-year old who is very interested in dinosaurs. It addressed his stage and interests very well. He loved the practical details of Fenton's life, much of which might be less revelatory to an older child ( e.. why you need thick tyres on a mountain bike), the self-sufficiency of Fenton's search for the answer, and the process of solving the problem. I was impressed by the way the author avoided coincidence and stuck to an exploration of research method as a way of solving the problem.
