... and actually one of the most important poets of our century, awarded the Nobel prize in 1963. The only thing I can't judge is the translation.

This book has in it many hard to find poems including the Faerie Queene and many other poems. The Faerie Queene includes all six books, in an unedited version for those who want to read the original. While hard to come by (it is out of print) it does make for interesting if somewhat challenging reading, when you find a copy. However, you are left to own resources for any questions, as it does not give complete notes as many other versions of his poetry might. Language is in original version (except for a few changes in spelling to make a bit more comprehensible), giving the original feeling of the poems. A good find worth the trouble, for those who love poetry, and are willing to wade through the flowery, old style phrases and wording.

This is your "one-stop shop" for every single one of Kate Chopin's published works. Large and cumbersome but well worth the weight, it contains all of her fantastic local color stories from her books "A Night in Acadie", "Bayou Folk", and all of her other short stories (including her very first written in childhood), plus the novels "At Fault" and "The Awakening". Most of her work was buried for years and it is difficult and expensive to get all of her wonderful creations, so this is the way to go for the ardent Chopin fan, the Chopin scholar, or anyone that just loves great American literature.(Note:it is also very uncommon to find a place that sells this!)

This volume, tragically out of print now, is a wonderful treatment of the history, importance and interpretaion of the US constitution. Mr Kirk writes clearly and simple, but is nonetheless full of suprising anecdotes and quotations.

The book explores the question of what were the actual influences on the constitution (and what weren't), and how we ended up so different from France which went through a "revolution" at much te same time.

He also discusses in some detail the application of the various parts of the first ammendment, as well as other provisions, throughout american history. Particularly of note is his treatment of the Mobile, AL public school textbook case, a case in which he served as an expert witness.

The overall theme, amply demonstrated and hinted at by the title, is that the constitution of the US has acted as a conservative (or preserving) force on the way our government functions, and how this has helped preserve a somewhat consistent and peaceful way of life here.

Excellent exposition of the point of view of the founder of the Gestalt School, Twardowski. For those who are interested in the epistemological foundation of the austrian school, and particularly on its economic branch (Menger, Mises, Hayek), this book is very important.Because of the importance on the school founded by Menger and because a lot of economists (even libertarians)are ignorant of the philosophical ground that support Menger's thought to read this book is something obligatory. With Cavallin one can have a real guarantee of seriousness and depth and profound knowledge of the matters as well.

Written at the end of his career and on the eve of the Holocaust, the Crisis stands, I believe, as one of the greatest one volume educations in print today. Unlike his more "technical" works which rigorously deal with phenomenology in itself, the Crisis is more of a look at the need for phenomenology and phenomenological psychology in modern humanity's life. Looking at the history of science and philosophy, Husserl traces the development and "success" of scientism and materialism. In doing so phenomenologically, Husserl makes a very strong case for the need of phenomenology in order to overcome the lifelessness of materialism and inaugurate a "heroism of reason" and humanism. Anyone interested in philosophy, science, sociology, civil rights, etc. I urge to read this book actively and critically. For non-specialists and people who aren't "scholars" of any kind or degree may find the language a bit dense or heavy at times, but ! . . . it's good for you. The volume also features appendices which include the classic Vienna Lecture as well as other essays and lectures. The Crisis is a classic and brilliant look into science, philosophy and society which, unlike a lot of theory today, offers a cohesive system grounded in humanism, to wit, Husserlian phenomenology. Please read this book.

As much as we booklovers learn from reading, we know that real knowledge comes from doing. So build a colonial house! On a nearby table. In 1/87 scale. These are straightforward drawings on heavy stock paper, bound with information about each house and instructions on how to cut out pieces and assemble them with glue. Edmund Gillon published a dozen or so such books with Dover and Schiffer in the 1980s and 1990s. This is one of the later ones; while some of his Victorian models got rather complex, these buildings are earlier in history (1677 to 1760), less complex in style, and easier to both cut and glue. Admittedly, I have not finished all five yet, but the book is nice to have around to just think about one day having each on a book shelf or mantle. And they are scaled for HO gauge model train layouts.

An older child or adult will take an hour or two on each of these and cannot help but become somewhat aware of architectural styles and lifestyles 300 years ago in the building process. Children below the age of ten should start with something easier since the model-making involves small pieces and patience. But the price is cheap to get Gillon's detail work, a hand-made model that will hold up well (some of my others still look good after 15 years)and attract attention, and lead you into this country's history (East Coast version).

Lots of information! Easy to understand even for a beginer like me. Great tips and lots of sites to go to for posting resumes.

As a first-year pathology resident, I just started learning the complexities of cytopathology. I asked a number of pathologists to give me recommendations for a starter textbook. Cibas and Ducatman's book was mentioned more than once. Once I got a chance to use the book, I realized that it lived up to the hype! It is a readable introductory textbook that dispenses with obscure jargon and presents cytopathology in an understandable and organized manner. I highly recommend this text to any pathology resident, cytotechnologist, or other professional looking for a coherent introduction to cytopathology.
