If you care for, or just visit with an elder, you need this book. It answers a need with elegant and simple tips and recipes for meals served to the elderly or disabled. No condescension here, just a thread of respect for our veteran citizens, ingenious eating utensils, and flavorful (I've tried it.) food.
The book is beautiful to look at, with easy to follow recipes and elegant color photographs.

This beautiful and thoughful cook book offers a wonderful selection of "comfort" foods with high nutritional value for the elderly and/or disabled person. Since nutrition is a key factor in health and longevity, Walters has highlighted the needs for certain foods and collected easy-to-make recipes focusing on those needs. In addition, the Introduction and Tableware sections have valuable and innovative tips for those caring for the elderly. I highly recommend this book!

Although "Well Aged" is a book that has been designed to assist caregivers in providing healthful and ability-appropriate meals for elderly people, I have found that many of the recipes are great for the whole family. Kids love the flavor, but what they may not realize is that they have just had a few full servings of veggies! The recipes are so straight forward, making them quick and easy to prepare after a day at the office (and the kids can help too). Someday I may end up looking after my parents as they age, and I will be greatful to have a guide like this around. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for healthy, delicious meals that can please everyone.

Don't expect pretty sentimentality. A little chapbook that could. This author's work is one of those writings that won't yield up all of its dimensions immediately. David Arthur Walters utterances are obviously spiritual, quite as much as a literaty testament. Very much enjoyed.

David Arthur Walters writes conversationally, with lyricism, honesty and wit. A distinctive voice that is prophetic and elegant. Highly recommended.

I found this book a wonderful tribute.
Written in the intelligent style I have come to love in all of David Walters writings.

BRAVO David to this outstanding book!

This supplement to Herodotus is the most comprehensive work on Herodotus' History. By commenting on the text, archaeology, geography, and virtually every aspect relating to Herodotus, one may become familiar with the first history of the classical era. I strongly reccomend the two volumes for anyone who has read Herodotus before, as he/she will gain a deeper study of the work.

Catherine Best, et.al.'s Flora Of Sonoma County deserves ongoing mention for any who live in Sonoma County, California: it charts the rich flora of the region: some 136 plant families and over six hundred genera - and is especially recommended for any serious plant enthusiast with more than just a general interest. Lacking the glossy photos of lay references, this includes the technical details plant managers will find important.

is a way Westen offers to gain health and be an active particpant in doing so. Weston gives clinically proven tools to awaken human powers of consciousness, responsibility, love, generosity, channeling, and other gifts we possess but do not know how to use. Happy reading and praying.

"The secret of radiant health and well-being is to become a cause, not an effect. Let nothing condition your happiness. Accept from others only what you choose to accept: their good suggestions, but not their insistence on them; their constructive criticism, but not their anger. Radiate outward into the world around you the light of your faith and wisdom." ~J. Donald Walters

If you enjoy reading beautiful thoughts, you will enjoy all the "Secrets" books by J. Donald Walters. He has a true gift for simplifying the complex. In just a few words, he embraces an entire philosophy that can help change your life.

These books have encouraged me to think more clearly. I'm reviewing all these little books because I really want to share these secrets with you. They are have been quite an inspiration to me.

This book is especially cute and the art has a fresh, alive feel to it. This is a book of "seed thoughts" you can plant into your subconscious. Each day you read one thought and then leave the book open and allow repetition to help the thought become absorbed more deeply into your subconscious.

I find that even reading the book once is helpful. I actually enjoy reading each book all the way through each time.

This book contains the secrets to radiant health. There are comments on having a balanced diet, a reminder to exercise and notes on how to be more content and grateful.

One secret for each day of the month.

Mr. Williams says things I've always believed, but was afraid to say aloud for fear of being thought of as intolerant, uncompassionate, or politically incorrect. Mr. Williams knows how people work and what they do to further their best interests (which is the study of economics) and explains it in a jovial and colloquial manner. READ it.

As stated, this book is a must read for any person who wants to have a clear grasp of the issues of our day. As other reviewers have noted, this book is a collection of some of his syndicated columns that were previously published. That being said:

Dr. Williams writes with a style which is completely opposite of much of the intellegencia. His writings are straightforward and to the point. This book is worth the price just to read his wrtings about Dunbar High School, a primarily black school in a poor district of D.C. which yielded outstanding results in the 50's and 60's....until the great forces of public education intervened and destroyed that success. I urge anyone who is a great supporter of public education and who buys into the "education needs more money....Black schools can't succeed" philosophy to obtain a copy of this book. It may not change your mind, but it will challenge your thoughts.

Dr. Williams writings on affirmative action are equally superb. He, again in simple terms explains how the economics of affirmative action don't match up with the political rhetoric. Be not scared that he is an economist, he writes for the reader and not for himself, with practical examples easily understood by all. Walter Williams is a national treasure.

This book is a reprint of great articles from Walter Williams. It is a shame we do not have more teachers like Williams in our schools. If only more people took economics.

This was the first book I read by HG Wells, at the age of 12. (I saw the film first.) After taking a trip into the future, a Time Traveller returns to the 19th century and tells his colleagues what he saw.

In the distant future there is nothing, not a trace, of our world left. The Time Travller discovers a new society and finds that we have evolved into a puny, ineffectual race called Eloi. At night he discovers the other half of the society, the hideous, carniverous Morlocks. The Eloi live simple lives and play in the sun. They are food for the Morlocks, who live underground, operating machinery. The Time Traveller goes even further into the future, to a depressing world where the sun is dying and monstrous creatures roam the surface.

Getting away from the point for a moment, there was once a "Doctor Who" story called "Timelash". In that story the Doctor travels back in time and meets a young writer called Herbert, who accompanies the Doctor on a journey to the future on another planet. There are monsters called Morlox. At the end of the story the young writer gives the Doctor one of his cards, which has the name HG Wells. The story implied that HG Wells' novel was inspired by the Doctor! But in reality "The Time Machine" paved the way for "Doctor Who", one of my favourite childhood shows. So we owe a lot to Wells.

Time travel looks like a fun thing to do but sometimes it's best if the future is left unknown. Would you want to know your own future and find it's not what you hoped for?

HG Wells' Sci Fi classic, about a Victorian scientist's trip forward in Time, differs greatly from the movie version, so if you don't recognize the details of the story in this review, it's because I am referring the original. The tale is narrated at the beginng and very end by a good friend of the Time Traveler--whose name we never learn. Nor in fact are his skeptical dinner guests named, for the emphasis sis Not on the present. Ninety percent of the short novel, however, is a direct narration by the Time Traveler himself, of his incredible journey into the future. The year is hard to credit: 208,701!

Wells loses no opportunity to expound on his theories of Mankind's self-destructive and degenerative "progress." He launches into fervid warnings about the separation of diametrically opposed yet critically enmeshed aspects of human nature--both vital while openly at war--which result in the total Human Being. Yet he never considers what Right his hero has to go back the Future, in a vain, foolish and risky attempt to alter the bovine existence of the beautiful people called ELOI or to reduce the subterranean population of the hideous MORLOCKS who repel us with their bestial behavior? (No Prime Directives here about not meddling with the Past or the Future!) We can only guess at Weena's grim fate, but why did Wells include an eerie chapter with the TT contemplating the primoridal tide at the end of Time itself? Still spell-binding despite the intervening years, The Time Machine enthralls us with its daring concepts of futuristic invention and social speculation. Despite uneven literary pacing, these pages offer great Sci Fi reading for all ages!

OK, we've all seen at least one of the movie versions of H.G. Well's The Time Machine, but none of them truly compare with the oringinal Sci-Fi classic. The book tells the story of the Time Traveler's journey nearly a million years into the future and the very unexpected and disturbing society he finds there. The Time Traveler formulates various theories based on what he observes of the society, which each, in turn, prove to be oh, so wrong! [Warning: mild spoiler] In the end, his realization of the future is especially terrifying considering it is the result of our current social structure (or H.G. Well's, anyway).

I especially recommend this book for those of us with short attention spans - it's only 140 pages (and that's the large print version). But don't get the wrong idea, this book still has more depth and creativity than most 500 page books i've read and is a great read, even compared with today's science fiction standards.

This book has to be considered a classic considering it spawned a whole genre of time traveling books, movies, and tv shows whcih imitated it. Get a hold of a copy and read it today!

The settings of both stories are oriental. In `Djinn' the protagonist works undercover for an androgenous American spy. There are some curious adventures met in the hands of two children. After a while the book begins to fold back on itself and we find ourselves right where we started but we go off in a slightly different direction. It is as if the protagonist is trapped in some never ending mystery that doesn't explain itself. `La Maison De Rendez-Vous' is about an evening get together, again we find some mysterious elements and the story folds back on itself various times, everytime we get a further glimpse into the affairs. It is the most curios style of narration that ends up adding a nightmarish aspect to the mystery. I wouldn't suggest this book to a die hard mystery reader but this will make an interesting reading otherwise
