Our world isn't a pretty place, good guys don't always win, and people don't always do the right thing. Harms shows us a reflection of the uglier parts of humankind that is unfiltered and unflinching. While the art isn't cutting edge, the story is evergreen. This story definitely isn't predictable, at least, not if you're used to homogenized Hollywood fluff. It does a good job of tricking you into thinking you know where you're headed and then taking you somewhere else. And to be honest, that "somewhere else" isn't a very nice place. But it is a place that exists in our world and shouldn't be ignored. While Abel story is set many decades ago, the themes of hatred, fear, and ignorance are still alive and well today.

Bottom Line: I'm glad I picked up Abel, and I think you will be too.

This is one of those informatiojn books that would find its place very easily in any collection. There are very high quality photos from the Natural History Museums in London and New York.

The author has worked as a palaeontologist at the natural History Museum in London for 13 yrs (at time of publication), so you should feel reassured that it is authoratative.

As the best info books have, it includes a glossary and index.

A companion volume on T-Rex is the same high quality.

I figured as many times as my son checked this book out of the library we might as well buy it. As always DK books are very interesting. My sons (6 and 2) love the T-Rex and the Triceratops books on Dinosaurs.

This book is really more of a reference for developers already familiar with C than an introduction to C. Even experienced C programmers will learn more about the language and the runtime library. It is very well written, easy to read, and provides excellent examples.

In many ways, this is a disappointing book. Predictable in its attempt to create a 'scathing' rebuttal to the hideous 'Bell Curve', this book offers little to anyone versed in the incredible variety of contemporary feminist discourse. For those prepared for some *real* thinking, try more transgressive/radical voices, such as Patricia Williams, bell hooks, Mary Daly, and many others; also, see various radical works related to Lacan. The Assault on Equality is simply too simple, a statement of the obvious racism and stupidity of Charles Murray et al., and it cannot be said to contribute orginial thinking on the issue of race. Feminists in particular will find this book a bit simple-minded. Well intentioned, but dull, even as the authors are trying to sound angry.

From 1947 to 1965 William Branham preached over 1100 sermons, which have been preserved on magnetic tape for distribution worldwide by Spoken Word Publications. Recently these same sermons have been placed on CD ROM disks...and now accessible both in sound and print form with the aid of a computer.

At the very least, a cursory survey of this material will yield some extraordinary findings: among them, thousands of documented miracles and thousands of additional prophecies great and small. Together with these, of course, there is the preaching and teaching.

Over the years, it has not been the miracles or the prophecies which have been held to ridicule or questioned by informed sources. The proof of the authentic nature of this ministry is so easily obtainable and so extensive and forms so great a body of evidence that attempting to deny it would be futile and irresponsible.

William Branham's teachings, however, are another matter. This is where the greatest criticism has come in recent years. It is said that William Branham was indeed a mighty prophet, that the gifts God placed in his life to discern spirits, perform miracles, and receive visions are unprecedented in all of Church history, from the days of the Apostles to present. But by attempting to handle God's Word, conventional wisdom has it, William Branham entered into a ministry he was not called to.

In the Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions & The Occult, the three doctrines listed as taut by William Branham which are most offensive to historical Christian orthodoxy, are the following:

1)The Godhead
2)Serpent's Seed
3)The Malachi Prophet

In this book the Author refutes the claims that the teachings of William Branham are heterodox by addressing these three issues.

A must read for anyone interested in the subject.

This reference to the songs, orchestras and individuals of the big band music era will prove an indispensable reference to any student of swing or jazz big band music: it covers songs favored by swing era orchestras and provides an excellent examination of both the roots of the songs and those orchestras which made them famous.

The story was enthralling, and I could not put the book down until I had read the last word. I loved the characters, and all the past lives Doug experienced,and how everyones lives revolved aroung each other. The only disappointing aspect of the book was that it ended. I want to know more about their lives and what happens to every-one. I hope Bill Rowe and Peter Cooper contiue to write, and keep entertaining us all!!

A really great useful book written in a way that's easy to read and understand.Many helpful suggestions.A must have book for parents of kids with TBI.Wonderful book

I am currently using this book as a guide for leading an adult Sunday School class. We are about a month into the study, and the response has been tremendous. Every study stimulates discussion and forces us to grapple with profound spiritual issues. Everyone seems surprised that we are finding these things in Mark -- a Bible book we've nearly all read many times. Olson brings a fresh outlook to the study of Mark. There is an excitement to the old, old story that somehow most of us have missed. I highly recommend this book for personal and group study. My only problem is finding a study of such quality to follow this one!
