Stop and think about it -- with all the current buzz about knowledge management, the role of the cultural anthropologist has become even more vital to the real world of commerce.

Like the other two reviewers, I read this book some years ago as part and parcel of a college course in anthropology. It is a great allegorical reminder that there is no such thing as a historical fact, and that our assumptions about what happens in a culture are just that without being able to talk to the community itself!

I WANT this book and consider it a 'must read' for every person who intends to launch an initiative into the wilderness of organizational change and development.

I read this book back in college more than 20 years ago. I would love to be able to purchase it. Anyone know where I could get a copy?

It has been abaout 15 years since I read the book, but at the time I felt it had humor as well as merit. It might make an interesting book for a Junior Great Books discussion.

A very good book for all ages who want to play an instrument. If only I would follow their advise. Maybe.... reads easy and flows well. I recommend it. Thumbs up, a must own for your library.

What a wonderful book for young students (and older students!) I teach private trumpet lessons to students ranging in age from 10 to 18 and they all enjoyed looking at it while waiting for their lesson to begin. Lots of great tips and like the title suggests a "Survival Guide".

BRAVO !!

This book is filled with practical easy to read information about what it means to learn music. As a music teacher, I find this book to be a great tool for parents and students. It teaches the basic aspects of what is involved in learning a musical instrument. It is also written on a level that schoolage students can understand. I found it to be simple to read, yet very informative and enjoyable. I am going to recomend it to my students - especially the Jr. High students who seem to have lost motivation. I may even assign them chapters to read and intergrate it into my lessons.

With an introduction by legend Paul Jamieson, we are immediately transported into the Adirondacks as seen through the eye of an established photographer. Nathan Farb has been at his profession for years and this collection of streams, waterfalls, rivers, mountain peaks, deep woods, lakes and ponds is one of his absolute best. His lens captures the spirit; the essence of the view. Every photo evokes a sense of spirituality and timelessness. You become witness to a breathtaking array of one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The Adirondacks are truly one of America's great wilderness areas. Using a 8-by-10 inch Deardorff camera, Nathan Farb beautifully photographs many Adirondack scenes here. Author Paul Jamieson provides an introductory essay on the area's geography, unique qualities, and ecological importance. If one has visited the Adirondacks, one will find this book a vivid reminder of this special region. If one hasn't been to the Adirondacks, this book should compel them as much as anything to make a trip there.

This is a splendid book, originally published by the Tennessee Historical Society, and sold at the Tennessee State Museum. Photographs and descriptions are excellent, as are the examples. The book is not engaged in "price guessing" and the like. Rather, it is designed for the person who is familiar with the construction of period furniture and who is cognizant of the terminology. It is highly recommended for collectors, dealers and anyone else interested in ways and furnishings of the past.

excellent reference for the tennessee antique business and interest. can be used to date early furniture and also its' orgin.

This book has 206 activities for levels K - 7. Each acitivity teaches visual thinking through an art concept. Each activity is divided into sections on teacher prepartions, suggestions, suggested art activities, alternative art activities, evaluation and other things to consider. I have tried to get extra copies but have so far been unsuccessful.

Please help me find this boo

A long history/memoir by Morton, who rose to command of Forrest's artillery after the death of (my relative, perhaps) Captain Freeman. Morton was only 18 when he joined up in '62 and spent seven months of the war in Northern prisons, of which he gives some description.

Forrest wasn't happy to accept this "tallow-faced boy" at first, but Morton slowly won him over and participated in all of his campaigns.

We get a lot of observations as to Forrest's character -- including that, according to Morton, he believed one attacker superior to two defenders (this is alarming) and that he was "at times the most insubordinate of men" (13). (Greatest general of all time, eh? I can't quite feature that.)

We learn as well about the activities of Forrest's troops, and I found it interesting to observe how often his men charged entrenched opponents (cf. Morton's description of the Battle of Dover, p. 76; etc.). I would be interested to know what Forrest's casualty rates were, as compared to other cavalry commanders and as measured against what he achieved.

The death (possibly a murder) of Captain Freeman, Forrest's deadly brawl with Lieutenant Gould, Chickamauga and Brice's Crossroads all are covered, among other events. Though Morton quotes letters between Forrest and the Federal commander Washburn regarding the treatment of prisoners of war, there is little discussion of Fort Pillow and it is implied, as far as I can tell, that Morton and his artillery weren't there--which seems hard to believe, but that's what the text seems to suggest.

A detailed account, a vital source for the activities and personality of Forrest. Limited personal narrative, with Morton tending to refer to himself in the third person, but quite vivid nonetheless. For anyone wanting to understand the war in the West this would be indispensable.

This book reflects Forrest's will to win the battles, and the fights he put up in the process. He will ALWAYS be known as the GREATEST general any war has ever seen.

I felt the book was very well written. It opened my eyes to see what is happening in the world beyond my sheltered suburban highschool life. It also caused me to ask myself questions and think about the future, and it made me ponder the problems of the world which I will live in.

Essays and interviews by thirty noted leaders and thinkers as varied as V.S. Naipaul and Nelson Mandela examine the condition of the world at millenium's end and offer a variety of cautions and prescriptions for the world to come.
Pierre Trudeau and Isaiah Berlin on nationalism, , Akbar H. Ahmedon on Islam and the West, and Lee Kuan Yew on East Asia are among the distinguished contributors to the New Perspectives Quarterly, from which this work is drawn.
Highly recommended as a valuable resource for perspectives on our troubled future, and for tragic/comic relief there is Oliver (I-don't-have-to-tell-the-truth-I'm-an-artist) Stone, decrying the public cynicism of which he ia a principal architect.

I'm so glad I discovered this booklet. A person who's trying to get above rough times (who isn't?) will get a lot from it -- no matter what their age, situation, or religious affiliation. Essentially: it's easy to see the bad in life -- but how do you find the good, especially in yourself? To me, Rebbe Nachman is universal -- a man of the future -- and his teachings helped me more than any psychology book. For more basic introductions to Breslov, try "Restore My Soul" or "Crossing the Narrow Bridge" (also from Breslov Research Institute).

Azamra is the second basic tenant of Jewish existance as outlined by Rabbi Nachman of Breslove, the quintessential Hassidic master of all time.

In "Azamra", Rabbi Nachman explains that happiness is not merely a pleasant state of mind but a prerequisite to Jewish self-fulfillment. Happiness is achieved by finding in oneself points of light in the midst of one's failure and depression. Do the same, contends the master, for your friend. This is not a mere mental excersize, but a mechanism that changes one's very spiritual state of being.

From this, Azamra continues to develop into a deep kabalistic flight which ties together such distant concepts as the learning of children, the role of the spiritual leader and the spiritual essense of the Jewish nation as manifested by the patriarchs.

Azamra is a directive to happiness and profound spiritual self-fulfillment. It's a small booklet that contains riches it would take milleniums to expound. One of the wisdom treasures of humanity.

Most of the Nate Heller books are good. This one is very good. I enjoy the characters and the ties to history. Basically, a Forrest Gump/Spencer type of read.

It was an excellent book. A little bit too much language. It got crazy on pg. 140 (read that page). It had a whole bunch of explosive sex. And a whole lot of bloodshed.

From the back cover:

The Borderline Personality: Vision and Healing is an important contribution to understanding not only borderline personality, but basic structures and problems of the human condition. It is imaginative, profound, and clinically sound. Workers of all clinical persuasions will be enriched by Dr. Schwartz-Salant's case discussions and by his determination to follow his vision as far as he can. His courage to say what he sees will help the reader engage more of the experiences, aims and structures adumbrated by the term "borderline." Dr. Schwartz-Salant's explorations enhance and sharpen awareness of possibilities inherent in the therapy relationship in general. --Michael Eigen, Ph.D., author of The Psychotic Core

A highly original blend of the visionary and the practical, Schwartz-Salant's work will appeal to depth psychologists of all schools -- Jungian and Freudian alike. I learnt something from every page, not just about borderline conditions but also about the nature of the psyche and our attempts to attend to its sufferings by means of analysis. --Andrew Samuels, author of Jung and the Post-Jungians

This book offers insights into the inner life of the so-called borderline patient that are unparalleled in the psychoanalytic or Jungian literature. Its grasp of the deep anxieties selfhood poses for the deeply wounded person is thoroughly clinical in its relevance to treatment and yet almost religious in its respect for the soul-struggle of the individual caught in this painful syndrome. Dr. Salant's empathy lifts his work into a class entirely by itself, as the text to which most psychotherapists will turn when they want to understand some of their most difficult patients from the inside. --John E. Beebe, Editor of The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal

In this book, Nathan Schwartz-Salant describes how he applies a Jungian archetypal and imaginal approach to the therapy of borderline clients -- especially to the transference-countertransference field. His work presents a challenge to readers of all schools of psychoanalysis to reflect more clearly and deeply on symbolic issues as they intersect with clinical dynamics. --Sylvia Brinton Perera, author of Descent to the Goddess

This book, written by a Jungian therapist, has given me almost all of the words and concepts I have always needed to express the terrible inner darkness, formlessness, and tumult of suffering from BPD. Therapy and meds were a godsend, but they were only palliatives. There seemed no hope of penetrating to the very source of this overwhelming disorder, of understanding it, and perhaps even curing myself of it someday.

Mr. (Dr.?) Schwartz-Salant's compassion, clarity, analysis, and ideas have given me not only hope, but an entirely new (to me) way of looking at the problem, and substantive directions in which to work toward resolution, both on my own and with the few therapists who can/should attempt to work with borderlines.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and I hope it helps others as much as it has helped me.
