Advanced. Moderately critical commentary. Not for the passive student.

This book captivates the minds of young readers and makes them feel like they're "digging a tunnel". I was astonished this book didn't get an award. My child couldn't put the book down. I went to the book store and bought it for my friends' kids. Dig a Tunnel is a healthy, want-to-learn book for children. I was surprised at the illustrations of this book. It was neat for my children to look at. I give it 5 stars!!!!!

This book is unusual. Containing 17 essays by different authors, it is not focused entirely on the aspects of death and religion.
Instead it includes personal view points and experiences that provide multidimensional pictures of death, dying, faith, and humanity. This is not a technical manual or a religious manual. It is a very interesting helpful book that includes personal feelings and experiences to help clarify the topics presented.

The photographs in this book are as fresh today as on the day they were taken.

The photographer, Disfarmer, woke up one day with complete amnesia. Everyone around him were farmers, so he changed his name to Disfarmer to disassociate himself from his surroundings. And yet he never left his home town. His photographic chronical of the life around him is all the more astonishing considering his disconnectedness.

Anyone with an interest in portrait photography will find something unusual in these photographs.

"The Distribution of the Birds of California" by grinnel and Miller is an excellent book for anyone interested in a historical perspective on California's bird life. It is a seminal work, the first complete study of California's diverse avifauna. In the width of its scope it has been unparalleled in th decades since. The authors give full treatment to all subspecies, an approach that later authors have not emulated with equal thoroughness. I recommend this book to any California birder who is interested in past and present bird distribution, since understanding what once was is a key to understanding the present.

As Londoner Colin Shindler wrote in the Jerusalem Post last July, Dr. Rory Miller's book about British opposition to a Jewish State from 1945 to 1948 shows that slanders routinely hurled against Israel in the liberal British press are all part of a continuum.

Miller focuses on three anti-Zionist bodies--the Jewish Fellowship, the Arab Office and the Committee for Arab Affairs.

The Fellowship, founded in 1942, included important Anglo-Jewish figures such as Basil Henriques, Viscount Bearstead, Lord Swaythling, and several Jewish Conservative MP--as well as Liberal Synagogue chief Rabbi Israel Mattuck, Sir Leonard Lionel Cohen (the first Jewish Lord Justice) and Sir Robert Waley Cohen, president of the United Synagogue, the flagship of the traditional mainstream. They openly opposed Zionism after Lord Moyne's murder in November 1944. Israel's potential rebirth threatened these semi-assimilated Anglicized Jews, who realized that reports of the extermination of European Jewry did nothing to lessen British anti-Semitism during the war.

They feared an Israel reborn would limit their hopes to become Jewish Britons rather than British Jews and expected accusations of dual loyalty to follow any support for Zionism. They also refused to equate Zionism with Judaism (as had Max Nordeau at the Second Zionist Congress in 1898.)

The Fellowship in no way cooperated with other anti-Zionist bodies such as the Arab Office, whose goal was to promote Arab causes in Britain, or the Committee for Arab Affairs (CAA), neither of which cared a fig about Jewish identity. But the latters' efforts to kill the Jewish state before it was born were equally intense.

The CAA, established in 1945 by Sir Edward Spears (another former Conservative MP) quickly became the vehicle of non-Jewish Arabists and anti-Zionists. Financed via London's Arab Legations, often via the Arab Club's account, the group at its peak successfully lobbied as many as 40 Members of Parliament. Sir Ronald Storrs, the former military governor of Jerusalem following the Balfour Declaration, was a prominent CAA leader. This perceived Middle East expert was badly informed and prejudiced, according to David Fromkin's Peace to End All Peace. According to Miller he was also terribly anti-Zionist. In articles in the Sunday Times, Storrs claimed that the Histadrut had promoted strikes in order to force independent companies out of business so they could be taken over. The charge prompted legal action, and Storrs and the Sunday Times were forced to issue a joint apology, a series of events that mightily miffed Storrs.

Then CAA chief Spears, "the defining personality in the anti-Zionist camp," according to Miller, actively took up his cause on returning to London from a ministerial position in the Levant at the end of 1944. The Jewish Chronicle regarded him as "the Pickwickian fatboy" enslaved to the Arab cause. Spears may have been the first to outlandishly compare Zionism to Nazism. He claimed (equally outlandishly) that the Yishuv supported the Allies during the war for profit. After Israel's establishment, many British anti-Zionists gave up, but Spears continued trying to delegitimize the Jewish state until he died in the 1970s.

Miller provides an excellent window onto the campaign of British anti-Zionists, an important area few others have considered. Alyssa A. Lappen

This is the most comprehensive and easiest to understand book on the subject of illegal drug use or abuse I have read and I have read most texts on this subject. This book is suitable for physicians, counselors, attorneys, classroom teachers, professors, parents, youth leaders, analysts, police officers, federal law enforcement officers, and parents. It is also readable by students 16 years or older. The writing has a some "policeize", but in comparison to most similar texts it is written in plain English. The index is excellent. This book explains the detection, recognition, and investigation of illegal drugs as described in the subtitle, but it also explains the impact of drugs on human physiology. This book includes some policing strategies, but in general it is not about public policy, incarceration, morality, or judgment. This is a book about drug facts and impacts and the evolution of drug law. The book is a superb resource for anyone preparing studies, classes, or law enforcement. The author is commended for his detailed and exacting research free of hyperbole.
