Greg Miller's writing is sure to inspire even the most seasoned veterans of the deer woods. Spending the last 20 or more years studying the link between big buck travel patterns and rub-lines, Miller is able to communicate his findings and strategies in a clear,concise manner. With the insights gained from Rub-Line Secrets, hunters will be better able to locate and to analyze rubs left by individual mature bucks. Most importantly, Miller relates effective rub-line hunting strategies to specific time periods throughout the season.

Greg Miller has done it again with his latest book Rub-Line Secrets. Once again he gives the reader insights into big buck behavior that will increase their chance at getting that shot of a lifetime. Miller explored the topic of rublines in his book Aggressive Whitetail Hunting, but delves more deeply into the mystery of rub lines in his latest book.

Back in the early 80's Miller first began to notice that deer rubs were more than just random places where bucks rubed the velvet from their antlers. He began to notice, through countless hours of scouting, observation and hunting, that bucks used rubs to mark travel routes and that you could in fact find rub-lines, or a series of rubs that when connected together with an imaginary line create a line from a definate point A to a definate point B.

Miller describes how, by deciphering rub-lines, you can determine a bucks prefered travel route. He also describes how you can tell which time of day a buck is using a rub line that runs either to or from a feeding area. This is invaluable information for any hunter who wants to increase there chances at taking a quality buck.

In just a few hours of reading you can learn what it took this accomplished hunter years to discover -- rub-lines hold the key to harvesting a trophy whitetail.

Although many authors make poor readers of their own material, this audiotape is a definite exception to the rule. In these very personal and transparent vignettes, Keith Miller reveals the struggles and subtle temptations that beset the "successful" Christian author and lecturer. His honest appraisal of his own failings prompts a more thorough soul-searching of our own "dragons". Frequently, while listening to him describe his struggles with insecurities, anxiety, escapism, pride, self-doubt and ordinary family challenges, I recognized the similarities in my reactions to circumstances. These are tapes you will want to savor...and then return to somewhere down your spiritual walk, to check on your progress. By participating in the heart-felt prayers at the end of each story, it kept the tone positive and hopeful.

I've used this little paperback so many times over the years, the pages are falling apart. Rev. Miller's ability to laugh at his own foibles and change his own attitudes are inspirational for those of us who know we are never going to be perfect, but who would like to keep on trying

I have used the Harbrace College Handbook for 31 years. My first was the 5th Edition, which I keep on the top in one of my desk drawers. I used it throughout college. I bought this edition for my father, who gave me the first one, and seems to have lost his own copy (he's 86!). This edition is much thicker than the 5th one -- these books are not exactly "reading material," but a reference guide; so I haven't read it from cover to cover. This book comes with a computer CD to install the entire book on your computer.

Excellent reference if it is necessary to constantly bibliograph infomation off the internet and other electronic sources

"Worth every penny"? You bet...regardless of what the price tag happens to be on this masterpiece by Frank Miller (Sin City, Dark Knight Returns, Robocop 2 & 3) and Geof Darrow (Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot, Another Chance To Get It Right, Hard Looks, Bourbon Thret, conceptual designer for the Matrix Trilogy).
I've got my grubbies on every Geof Darrow item I've been able to find and/or afford...like the portfolio "Le Cite Feu" ("City of Fire") and Comics & Stories (a book of Bourbon Thret stories and pin-ups, etc.), and I've read Miller and Darrow's other collaboration, Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot, but none of these really reaches the impossible standard set by this...thing. The story, which much of the time serves to steer and hold fast the monstrous, unwieldy complexity of Geof's panels, is Miller in his PRIME, the world in which it's set being the same as that of his Martha Washington series, but with the Darrow *bite*.
Because of the intricacy of Geof's style, one page of this is good for hours of enjoyment at a time. One panel for that matter.
It's no bull, pal. This is a treasure.
Buy the book.
For those of you who think you're unfamiliar with Geof Darrow, he designed the Nebuchadnezzar, Sentinels, Subway Shootout sequence (El Fight), Zion, Power Suit, Human Power Plants (the inspiration for which can be seen in Hard Boiled, where surgical robots and assistants for the fantastically obese are powered by babies, soda, and candy bars in pods.) and other key elements of the Matrix Trilogy.
Frank Miller is, of course, known to anyone who reads comics. His Dark Knight Returns is the inspiration for the majority of Batman material that came after it, including the first three movies. It also obviously inspired the first Robocop film, the sequels to which Miller wrote, not to mention that cameo, which blew the Daredevil cameo outta the nuke-lab...uh...I mean water.
His Sin City series, the first in particular, starring Marv, is essential Miller, more so than any of his mainstream work, in my opinion (and includes a certain bespectacled somebody, not Frank, guest-starring as the deranged villain;).

First, a note to the parents and easily offended: This is NOT the book for you, or children younger than 17. It puts the ultra in ultraviolent, and has depictions of nudity and gross consumerism. Buy this for a relative at your own risk. And now,
onward.

You know, when a graphic novel merits a mention in an Andrew Vachss novel, it's quality. It is a very simple noirish tale, set in a an ugly future Amerika. Hopeless urban sprawl, violent crime, gun-toting citzenry. Everyone walks around tattooed with brand-names and eating irradiated cheeseburgers. Corporate masters set killer robots on their competitors, and get away with it. The stuff of crappy cyberpunk, in other words.
What elevates this, however, is the wonderful, fantastically intricate art. "Vibrates like liquid poetry", I believe the Vachss novel said.
And it's true. Everything, from the skin folds of the characters, to the grafitti on the wall in the far background, is fully realized in great detail. I could go on in this vein for a while, but why bother? Buy it. It's worth every penny.

Madeleine and J Lane Miller have written a valuable resource for the study of everyday life in Bible times. The blurb inside the dust jacket says that there are 74 subjects in 14 sections with 150 illustrations. There are sections on geography, homes, food, clothing, medicine, family events, the life of a nomad, the life of a professional, etc.

Let's say one is reading the story of David and Bathsheba. One might turn to the section on military life and read Soldering under David. There one might read that Saul was the first to establish a professional army in Israel rather than depend upon a militia. David added mercenaries to his army. In Israel mercenaries worked for wages but had no rights as a member of an Israelite tribe. A mercenary so totally belonged to the king that when a king died, like a concubine, a mercenary passed on to the king's heir. This raises the question to mind as to whether Uriah the Hittite was a mercenary along with other members of "the Thirty." One then might decide to read the section on Prostitutes. Prostitution did exist in Israel and there may have been temple prostitutes at Shiloh in the pre-monarchial period. Deuteronmic Law prohibited both male and female prostitution, but prostitution was a fact of life throughout the Ancient Near East.

Though the Millers have included a section on the Industrial Life, their book is lacking in discussing the economics of Bible life. There are no chapters on money or taxation. Even so I found this to be a valuable resource. When a favorite sister-in-law admired the book, I gave her my first copy. And then I missed the book so I went out and bought a second copy.

This book really has an excellent cover!

Great book full of info and ideas, worth your time and money

This book is great for a beginner. I went to the library to find a book that would tell me how to dry my valentine roses. I so thourghly enjoyed this book I am going to buy it for myself as well as for others as a gift. Not only does it tell you how to dry flowers, but it demonstrates step by step how to grow them, and different ways to arrange them. It has beautiful pictures in it with arrangements from elegant, country to modern - something for everyone. I highly recommend it. It makes a lovely tabletop book as well as a reference book. The author Cathy Miller has designed flower arrangements for presidents throughout the years, even for President Clinton who has allergies. Cathy has designed the flower arrangements for him encased in glass!

I find that this is a very useful tape. I used it after receiving a cancer diagnosis, and it was the only thing that helped me get to sleep in those first nights. I also used it in combination with something else, before and after the surgery that I then had. It was very helpful. I definately recommend this tape.

I first found this tape about 10 years ago and have used it so many times that I have memorized the script... but it still works. Miller's medical training and interest in alternative health care have lead him to write and recite a most amazing healing journey that includes guided relaxation and targeted healing images. Side 2 is some wonderful music that continues the process. I recommend this tape to many clients who have sleep disturbances or problems with relaxation. It's the best all around relaxation tape I've ever used.

The true stories told by the authors in their latest book about miracles are an inspiration for the reader. I looked forward to this latest book in their series on miracles and was not disappointed. After reading it, I bought several more copies to give as gifts.

My co-authors and I have now had a total of five miracle books published, but this last book in the series has been an emotional one for us. Just when we agreed to do our last book on the mysterious and wonderful things that happen when our loved ones die, and how the bonds of love,the feeling of closeness, and the communication can continue, Laura was re-diagnosed with breast cancer. The entire time we worked on these stories, we knoew Laura was dying, and it gave us tremendous comfort to read story after story of the miracle of endless love. Laura herself was deeply comforted, and secure in the knowledge that she was headed towards a wonderful place. She died on November 4, just a few weeks after Heavenly Miracles was published. Jamie and I will miss her deeply, but we treasure the time we've spent together on these books. Enjoy the stories in Heavenly Miracles, and may they be a comfort to you, too.

An especially important book for any aspiring writers or students of fiction or the creative mind. Henry Miller on Writing shows Miller as he struggles to learn how to write and questions and wrestles with all the insecurities and self-loathing that is endemic to writing. As important as John Gardner's books on writing, only more readable and more fun.

For anyone who hasn't read Miller, this is a great introduction. As always, Miller's work is permeated with joy and lustfull arrogance. He is truly in love with life- and as writers go, a great and unique participant. Henry Miller on Writing provides glimpses into his work and the nature and derivitive of his own inspiration. The book will thrill the adventurer and offend the weak-minded. You will love or hate Miller.

Although Miller's books are largely autobiographical, it is sometimes difficult to discern "Henry Miller" from "Henry Miller's world". In reading this book by Brassai, we learn some of the methods Miller used to construct his world-- thus providing a deeper understanding of the man. While this book is by no means exhaustive, it does provide a glimpse into the man. There are numerous descriptions of Henry Miller available, but to get an insider's view, it is essential to read this book written by a man who knew Miller as well as any person can know another.

This book is a must-read for Henry Miller devotees who want to understand the genesis of this great writer. Written by his close friend Brassai a fascinating story is told about Miller's down and out days in Paris during the 1930's and how his vision of writing developed. It is replete with personal anecdotes about Miller's views of Paris, his hatred (ambivalent as it was) of his homeland and his relations with the women in his life. It more than anything shows Miller as the writer refusing to sell-out by having the essence of his writing edited away by the censorius literary status quo of his day.
