Phillip Lindsay has written a very useful book on the Masters of Wisdom and the role they play in world affairs (with photos included). Appendices include Seven Ray Tabulations, Astrology and the Seven Rays, and a great Glossary. This is essential reading for anyone wanting to know more about the Masters - the great ones who guide and guard humanity.

This is a really interesting book about the Masters of Wisdom, who guide Humanity in accordance with the Divine Plan. It begins from the cosmic perspective, describing the role and purpose of the Hierarchy and how the energies of the Seven Rays work through them. The author gives the topic a philosophical context by dealing with such questions as karma and free will. And why all of the Masters discussed here are male! There are descriptions of the Masters themselves as they have lived on the Earth over a number of incarnations. These chapters are interesting and easy to read, enlivened by description and anecdote. The book also contains very useful appendices on Astrology and on the Seven Rays; as well as a helpful glossary.

I love jams made with unusual ingredients and combinations, but I don't love making five batches to fine tune the taste. Christine Ferber has already done it for me in this book, and her inventions are *fantastic.* She has a true european appreciation for the concept of savory. Not every jam needs to be cloyingly sweet. Many of her recipes call for overnight fruit/sugar macerations to slowly combine the ingredients.

She does have a habit of seeming to forget that most of us don't live next to farmers and friends who can stroll about and collect fresh ingredients for us. Her recipes often call for specific varieties of fruit. Luckily the translator has written brief footnotes for most specific listings like that, and you can figure out a good substitution. If nothing else, head to a farmers market and tell them the flavor/consistency of fruit you want and they can help you find a native variety that matches.

Hopefully none of my family members will read this book, because if they do they're going to know what jellies they're getting for christmas this year.

Her techniques for jam-making and her emphasis on fresh fruits and small batches make for truly wonderful jam. I made grape jam using her techniques and it is the best grape jam I have ever eaten.

This is an excellent resource for those interested in the development of modern Mission theory. The book is produced in a concise dictionary format, with articles on over 70 prominent figures from a variety of traditions. Each article provides a biographical overview of the subject personality, a summary of their main contributions to Mission, and a discussion of their central writings. Articles conclude with a select bibliography of foundational sources that provides the reader with an excellent starting point for further reading and research.

Because the book focuses upon those in Mission who have left a literary record, there are few women who are examined in these pages. Women missionaries (generally) tended not to write treatises on mission theory and practice. So, even though they were central to Christian Mission during the time period covered, they are virtually absent from this volume. This should not be counted as a fault, however. Rather, the reader should keep in mind the limits of what the book covers.

This book should be in the library of anyone interested in Christian Mission. Excellent.

Mission Legacies is an attractive, durable hardback book of missionary biographical articles published by the American Society of Missiology through Orbis Books. It is divided into several major divisions: "Promoters and Interpreters," "Theologians and Historians,""Theorists and Strategists," and "Administrators." The chapters of this book first appeared as articles in the "International Bulletin of Missionary Research" beginning in 1977. Chapter assignments were made in a "serendipitous fashion over a period of about twenty years", as editors chose well-known contemporary church historians to write the biographical profiles.

Some of the famous 75 names are from the late 1700's, but most are from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They were chosen without regard for disciplinary, national, or denominational backgrounds, though there are only six women and six representatives of the two-thirds world among them. This will no doubt be different if a later edition is published.

Though the articles are scholarly, they are very readable and interesting. This will serve primarily as a reference book, but lovers of world missions and biography will find themselves often dipping into it for information and inspiration. I was pleased to find such diversity as Pius XI and William Carey, such educators and promoters as A.J. Gordon, John R. Mott and W.O. Carver, and such famous missionaries as David Livingstone, Hudson Taylor and Lottie Moon. I was glad to see historians like Kenneth Scott Latoureette and Stephen Neill, such innovative missionaries as Frank Laubach and E. Stanley Jones and such missions strategists as John Nevius, Roland Allen, D.T. Niles and Donald McGavran. In these pages, students of world Christianity "can gain insight into the spiritual and human dynamics that produced the modern Christian missionary movement". This book, now in its fourth printing, should be of interest to all students of World Christianity and Mission.

This book helps us solve the age old puzzle of love. It arranges those puzzle pieces in a way that make us say, aha! Of course these guys are on to something, because as you read it you will see that the described techniques help both the pursuer and the pursued. Love Tactics has been like a bible to me. And More Love Tactics is a very necessary addendum to the original. I truly hope this convinces you, as I feel these guys are right on.

I've read quite a few books on relationships, seduction, and charisma. Some are poor, some are average, and some are outstanding. More Love Tactics belongs to the latter group. And the reason why is, simply put, that when before you are through reading it you already think "My god, where was this book? Why didn't I find it sooner? It would have made all the difference to me. I don't like the hype I usually see in other readers when they comment on the books they read, but if you really want to dramatically improve your skills at conquering someone, read this, and I guarantee you that if you apply some of the strategies described in the text, you'll understand why I consider this book to be brilliant. And, by the way, read Love Tactics first, it is also outstanding.

Divided into seven sections (The Early Years, At Los Alamos, The Cornell Years, The Research Physicist at Caltech, The Teacher at Caltech, The Public Physicist and Consultant, and Feynman--The Man), this fine book presents Richard Feynman as he was seen by those closest to him--his friends and colleagues. To their credit, they present him as they knew him, the qualities with the flaws.

The book is especially successful in communicating Feynman's way of thinking, the processes he used in attacking problems. The essay entitled "Richard Feynman and the Connection Machine" by W. Daniel Hills is notably successful in this regard, and by itself justifies the purchase of the book. I found it especially interesting that Feynman was fascinated, as I am, by the potential of cellular automata for modeling fluids. Readers with the same interest should also consider purchasing Seek! by Rudy Rucker.

Five or so essays by other physicists who knew Feynman contain mathematics that is proably beyond the ability of the average reader (certainly mine), but even these contain gems of insight that reward readers who wade through them.

All in all, a most satisfying experience.

Fascinating and insiteful lectures from many of the great people in the world of physics. Amusing anecdotes, touching tributes, and glimpses into the private life of a genius who was also extremely human and persevered through very painful personal problems to help create the atomic bomb while his wife was seriously ill, yet keeping his spirits up and his sense of humor. Never a person to rest on his laurels Feynman is shown in this book as a person who listened intently to other people's theories, no matter how odd they sounded and never assumed anything was right or wrong until he worked it out for himself from first principles. It's all here, his life, his work, his friends, family and colleagues - but most of all his spirit.

I agree with the other reviewer. NOT a novice book by any means. Excellent if you are already well studied in Magick. It was originally a set of five volumes. They have re-released the first three and are finishing the last two right now.

Primarily ceremonial magic, this book is very deep, and should be recommended to only the very advanced practitioner of magic. It is complex, and a good deal of it is written in the latin, and greek languages. It is NOT a single book either, it is a series of books, six I believe, which is an error. Highly recommended.

This is a well needed reference. It's rather small, about the size of a large pamphlet, but it's got an amazing amount of information packed into it. There aren't enough books out there describing this form of cancer. This one is very well written and I would recommend it for anyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer or anyone who knows and loves someone with ovarian cancer. It answers all the questions you might have and takes a serious look at the myths out there. It's very informative and easy to understand.

Very Informative. Easy to read and understand

After reading the entire series of the Corrie Belle Hollister Journals, I was so excited to see that Michael Phillips continued with her married life. I felt like I was part of the Hollister family. Another GREAT set of sequels! Can't wait for more.

I Loved the book. It is one of the best books I've read.I couldn't put it down so I read it in 1 day. I loved all of the challenges Christopher put in his sermons. I want my marrige to be like Corrie and Christopher's. I'm 12 and I even loved it.

Phil Rehfeldt's "New Directions for Clarinet" is a great resource for any composer or performer interested in extended clarinet techniques. I've used it a number of times to find the fingerings for multiphonics when writing clarinet pieces. Although the book was written several years ago, it remains an important work for anyone interested in exploring the vast possibilites of the clarinet. I highly recommend it.

This book is the most amazing book I have come across, so far, that deals with Contemeporary Clarinet. It has an extensive finger chart for all clarinets and covers mutiphonics and quarter tone notes as well. Extensive Bibliography and works index.

A must for all serious clarinettists.

The New Harp of Columbia is the seven-note "old harp" tune book for shape note singers in and around Knoxville in east Tennessee. The 1975 University of Tennessee Press reprinting is probably out of print (though we have a few extra copies) as of March 2001. A new edition, scheduled for publication by the University of Tennessee Press in July 2001, will include the present (1867) New Harp of Columbia, with about 40 additional tunes from the earlier (1848) Harp of Columbia which M.L. Swan omitted from the new book in 1867. Meanwhile, come sing with us! - Bob Richmond (RSRICHMOND@aol.com)

I have gotten many hour of enjoyment for this book.
