An alternate and awesome approach to Math. If u can teach your kid using these books right from the age of 9 or 10 then he is sure to develop very very strong and powerful mental skills in maths. Ever thought you could do 57823423/21345 in a single line ?? With the techniques from this book your kid would do it in seconds( maybe without touching a pen or a peice of paper!!) Just make your kid work with this book for a couple of hours every week and in a few years time he'll be a mathematical genius!!

For those of you unsure who William Messner-Loebs is, he's the guy who wrote all that swell dialogue for the first few years of Kieth's inexplicably non-award-winning series THE MAXX (no, I did not misspell "Kieth"). I originally hunted down and bought EPICURUS for Sam's art, but the writing threatened to overshadow the art at times... which is not to say that the art is sub-par, but rather that the story, although a tad uneven, is almost funny and engaging enough to make one forget how good the art is. Political satire tends to age quickly, but EPICURUS THE SAGE is one of those works that manages to remain timeless by not getting overly topical.

As a novice psychotherapist/psychiatry resident, I found this title to be an invaluable part of my training. Dr. Console provides us with transcripts of his "first encounters" with patients and then discusses what is happening (on a psychodynamic level) in each session. In a way, the book is a transcript within a transcript -- a dialogue between Dr. Console and his residents discussing videotapes of the sessions themselves (also transcribed for the reader). The importance of the initial interview becomes evident while reading this text. It is amazing to see how much information can be learned by observing both the explicit and implicit content of a relatively brief meeting between doctor and patient. I highly recommend this book to all psychiatrists and psychotherapists especially to those who are just starting out and are in the process of fine-tuning their interview style.

This incredibly helpful-and concise- book is an interesting read and also an easy resource. Not bogged down with excessive length or weight, it is useful for students and people on the go. I purchased the title both for a term paper and for an interesting read on a recent flight. I found it useful both times, and recommend it.

Like many of Paul's other letters, the Epistle to the Galatians spoketo an immediate controversy...Sir William Ramsay's commentaryaddresses the resulting historical perplexities: When was the letter written? To whom was it addressed? What were the precise points in controversy? Who were the opponents of Paul's views? How were the issues actually resolved by the infant Church? Or did they, as 19th Century German scholarship posited, lead to a fatal breach between Jewish and Gentile forms of Christianity?

Ramsay (1851-1939) was well-equipped to delve into this area by virtue of his extensive knowledge of the history of Asia Minor, to which he devoted his archeological career. Though the present work is now a century old, it has never been superseded as a source of background information essential to seeing the epistle in historical context.

Ramsay's most noteworthy contribution was to make a powerful case for the view that the "Galatians" whom Paul exhorted were inhabitants of the cities of Phrygia and Lycaonia (in South Central Anatolia) that he had proselytized during his first missionary journey... Ramsay's "South Galatian" hypothesis has remained a minority opinion, though a review of mainstream commentaries suggests that the "North Galatian" alternative rests largely on prejudice... particular, it is not easy to fit a Pauline visit to North Galatia into the narrative of Acts, and many modernist commentators, convinced that Acts is of little historical value, seem to see that as a point against Ramsay... Ramsay is normally a clear writer, but this particular book suffers from the fact that injuries sustained in an accident prevented him from making final revisions to the manuscript. As a result, the discussion is in places disjointed. Also, the reader will need to refer frequently to the text of Acts in order to grasp the argument fully.

This commentary is not, in short, for casual reading, nor will it profit those whose interest lies solely in the doctrine of Galatians rather than its place in history. But for those who study it with care, it will offer abundant fruit. END

I found this book in a used book store on a trip West. As someone interested in Sherlock Holmes, I picked it up since the price was right. I almost didn't. I once received as a gift a book edited by two of the three editors of this volume, the second two listed here. It was almost unreadable. The subjects of its essays were rehashes of topics done better by other (real) writers or had little connection to Sherlock Holmes, except in name, like one about Sherlock Holmes and God. The writing was questionable at best. And the two editors just can't edit. It looked like another of those vanity press efforts by some local Sherlock Holmes club with more moxy and money than talent. I gave it away as soon as I found someone willing to accept it.

I started leafing through this book before recognizing it was by the same group and the same editors plus one. But I found listed in the contents several names I recognized from my reading about Sherlock Holmes in other books even if along with some of the pseudowriters from the other book. Many of these essays were of far more interest than the earlier volume. It even had some fiction and some humor. And a third editor was listed, the first one listed here, though he came last on this book's title page. But his name should come first alphabetically as here. Curious. On the strength of the other editor and the listed topics and because it was priced cheap, I bought it. I still didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised.

Besides a pompous, overwritten, self-glorifying introduction by a man listed as president of the group publishing it, who probably broke his arm patting himself on the back, and a woefully inadequate and trite rehash of Sherlock Holmes's film career, a lot of the stuff in this book is good and some really good. I really like a story explaining what happened to Dr. Watson's wife, written from Watson's perspective like the original Holmes stories. It was well-written and heartfelt. Probably one of the best I've read, and worth the cost of the book alone. In fact everything in this book was better than the other, which I think was published later than this one. Why the difference? Besides many different writers than the other book, I deduced like Holmes that it was the third editor, the one who had no involvement in the other book, that made the difference. Like the dog in the nightime, he did nothing in the other book. So logic dictates he must have done much for this one. Further investigation uncovered that this editor is a professional writer. His name turns up many times if you search for it here. The others don't, not even for the other book they edited. Case solved. The third editor must have done a lot of writing behind the scenes on this book. He also wrote one of the stories. So maybe he did just too good and that's why the other two no longer work with him, or he with them. His being listed last in the book while his name comes first alphabetically suggests some ulterior motive for the listing and later disassociation. Jealousy maybe on the parts of the less talented editors. If they had any sense they'd have hired him to help with the other book and would get him back if they plan to publish further anthologies, especially if they only use the same people from their own club again. They need real writers and real editors if they want to sell much outside their own circle of friends. Fortunately this book has some real writers and one real editor and is mostly very readable and enjoyable.

My advice. If you find this book in a used book store with a price in the low teens or less like I did, buy it. Look too for anything else by the first editor listed alphabetically here. Same for anything by the author of the Watson story, John Burrows(?) I think. Avoid like bubonic plague anything by either or both the second two editors especially if published under their club name "the Illustrious Client's". There's too much over priced poorly written and edited books in the Sherlock Holmes small press world. Thankfully except in part this is not one of them.

this book is a good starting point for a student who wants to know the basics of mobility. Besides it gives you a good introduction to the cdpd technology. However, this book only presents the basics of this subject. I've started reading this book knowing nothing about network mobility, and now I'm very interested in expanding my knowledge in this subject

In summary water along the Snake River in Idaho is unpredictable, not quantifiable, fickle and limited. Even in the 1920s when there were no uses competing with ariculture it had to be rationed. The surface water, ground water and aquifer commingle freely and as such should be jointly monitored and managed with "honest" diligence. When it comes to the water there is no such thing as partitioned individual water rights anywhere along the Sanke River in Idaho because we are all inextricably woven together in one tub and an action by one entity will affect everyone else in the tub. What one man passes another man drinks.Mark Fiege has done an excellent job of quantifying both the temporal and philosophical circumstances surrounding the acquisition and use of water for agriculture along the Snake River in Idaho up until about 1920. This book is a great place for one to begin to understand the genesis of water acquisition and husbandry for agriculture in Sountern Idaho. The first two thirds of the book and the notes are the best features of the book. The last third tends to drift away into a philosophical stretch without any real conclusions. Mark should now write a book that brings the use of water along the Sanke River in Southern Idaho up to the present time and weave together all of the contemporary competing uses for that water. Based on his research Mark should take the next step and make some recommendations for the future husbandry of our water. Mark has only done the first half of the job because the story is exponentially dynamic and just beginning. Finnish the story.

By hiw own admission, O'Malley wrote this book for adults who are studying the Synoptic Gospels on their own. He does a good job of explaining how to read the Gospels critically, and how to make comparisons among the Gospels. He also explains the history and composition of these three books.

Nearly the second half of the book is devoted to the study of the Passion accounts. Here, O'Mally gives a careful explanation of the similarites and differences of the accounts.

While the wordyness of this book prevents it from being a primary text for high school students, it should serve as a excellent resource for teachers.

This book is both inspiring and informative. Many effective techniques are discussed which can add much to any therapist's list of favorites. You'll refer to it often
