We have Cioran's image in our each mind. His books tell of himself too much. However, what's his real life and thought? This book leads us the truth of Cioran and we can see his real face.

This book brings together articles previously published in a variety of journals. The range of authors having differing viewpoints helps bring perspective to a difficult subject. Each of the 22 articles is in depth and has a bibiliography. The collection succeedes in being contemporary, highlighting current thinking in New Testament textual criticism.

If you are interested in any subject of position astronomy (motion of the moon, stellar navigation, astrometry, etc.) you must stat by reading this book. Eventhough it is basically a reviewed old text, it is still the most concise and complete reference on the area.

It contains from the basic formulas of spherical trigonometry to the full explanation of the conditions necesary to observe a solar eclipse, or principles of star parallax measurement, for example.

I think this book is useful not only for amateur and pro astronomers, but also for undergraduate mathemathicians and physicists, and even for highschoolers.

What makes this book interesting is that it was written between the murders and the trial. Huie knew who the murderers were, how they did it, and never expected a guilty verdict.

The book introduces you in detail to Michael (Mickey) Schwerener and all the details leading up to his murder. This detail will help you understand exactly why and how these murders took place.

This latest edition includes updates by the author to compare his early speculation against the results of the trial.

The main contents of the book,please

Ryan's poetry sparkles in the dead of a mid-life crisis. He juxtaposoes both the empathetic and the sarcastic. These poems are testaments for those who ponder through depression in search of inspiration. His prosaic imagery transcends the commplace, and rolls with the back-beats of route 66. Filled with references that range from Leadbelly to William Butler Yeats, these poems prove to be works of vision. Even in the face of despair, they are full of humor and passion. This is poetry for both the intellectual and the dreamer. This is because these poems are alive--feel them branch out into rythms, melody lines filled with chants that break and refrain. Ryan states, "What wakes with music, wakes the muse." And, I agree. Like Dylan Thomas and TS Eliot before him, Ryan writes poetry that goes beyond the page and into the hearts of generations.

The Two Brothers New Children's Book Rockets Series to Prominence by J.B. McKinley

William Jaspersohn, Vermont author, has scored a 10 on whatever scale you choose to rate a children's book. His latest title, The Two Brothers, is a tale of immigration to Vermont and of reunion. It is an evocative and moving story that differs from the experience of so many who came to America, only in its surprise ending. The action moves along fast enough to capture and keep the attention of youngsters and the vocabulary does not talk down to anyone. Jaspersohn gives us clues to the casualness of immigration officials, sketches the weather and seasons of Vermont, and lets the reader glimpse the wonder of a new life in a new country - where hard work is still a constant, but anything can, and does, happen. As you read the book to your child, you will toss on the "rough and cruel" sea crossing; you can easily imagine the work on the Tucker Hill Farm - sugaring, plowing, cutting firewood and, finally fence building. It is this last activity in springtime, years after "Henry" immigrates, that brings us to the final happy meeting of brothers. But it is the unique format of The Family Heritage Series that tells us the two brothers actually lived and were the forebears of Vermont's Commissioner of Agriculture. The story is based on archives kept at the Vermont Folklife Center, in Middlebury. The idea for the series, which Jaspersohn's instant classic will undoubtedly catapult into importance in the world of children's literature, was first conceived about five years ago by Jane Beck, folklorist and director at the Folklife Center. She wanted to share the family stories collected and housed in Middlebury. "Family stories are tremendously important," she said. "Our best hope for the Family Heritage Series is that will not only bring to light some of the fascinating true stories that exist in families, but also serve as a catalyst for children to dig up - and value - their own family's stories." On the book's last page, children are urged to uncover family tales and are given easy, specific directions to become authors of their own family book. "It reminds us that everybody and every family has a story to tell," said Bill Jaspersohn. "The power of these kinds of stories is as great as the stories of Hollywood or the songs of...Britney Spears...they help all of us understand the American experience." The Two Brothers will be included on a soon to be published list of classic New England children's books compiled by Yankee Magazine. The book makes the top 40, with company such as Blueberries for Sal. "It's cool!" said Jaspersohn of making the list. The fact is, his book hadn't even officially been for sale by the time he made the list. "To be part of that kind of list is a big honor," admitted Jaspersohn. But what he likes most about his book is that "It's a form of giving power to kids." He believes including the last page of author and publisher instruction for kids is key. "We all have a hunger for the past." He believes we all instinctively feel the past holds lessons for us. But, the message is that books "don't drop out of the sky - they come from real people," said Jaspersohn. Actually, one could come from your child.

Michael Williams examines the phenomenon of doubting (in the Cartesian tradition) and finds nothing natural about the helpless sinking feeling that is evoked. He talks about the skepticism that occurs when one stops everything and focuses on what's knowable and what's not. He laments the paralysis that sets in during such periods of silent & still introspection.

The thing is, he says, that life doesn't take place under these constraints. Things keep on being noisy and moving. Real life is permeated with real common sense, real knowledge, and real effective activities.

As a result, we may conclude that we ought to be suspicious of doubt and just go on about our normal business. Let doubt be a kind of self-contained oddity that's devoid of practical relevance. Doubt belongs in a kind of museum of failed ideas.

I take this as extremely useful advice--"Wake-up from the fog of perpetual doubt and get on with living." Happily for us, this fits in nicely with what the pragmatists have been clamoring for us to do for a long time.

To take doubt as unnatural is to take a step away from listless malaise and towards the possibility, as yet unrealized, of getting on with the dynamic business of solving practical problems.

Kurt Vonnegut put the difference vividly in his *Timequake* where his character says repeatedly to a befuddled population, "You were sick for a long time; but now you're better. And there's work to do."

If we can just stop obsessing over doubt taken to unnatural extremes, then we will find that there is, indeed, work for us to do. It's a difference that matters.

I highly reccommend reading this book! I especially found the Voice Of Experience movies very helpful! It was as if the authors were sitting next to me while I was programming!
