Especially if you are one of those people who is disillousioned with much of psychoanalysis, Phillips has an incredible way of presenting paradox, and thinking about symptoms and psychologists in new and interesting ways. A must if you're a psychologist, and a double must if you're in grad school. The only thing negative I can say about Phillips is that his writing style can start to repeat after a while so its best not to read two Phillips books back to back.

"People come for psychoanalysis - or choose someone to have a conversation with - when they feel they can no longer keep a secret." In this slim and satisfying book, Phillips distills his not inconsiderable devotion to psychoanalysis into six thoughtful essays. Phillips seems to have read everything; he thinks deeply, and has an astonishing ability to synthesize. His assertions challenge the reader, and he supports them with evidence.

His essays read like easy, intelligent musings, but he has slyly assembled his facts. Some of his sources are Lacan, Winnicott, Freud, Ferenczi, Franz Kafka, Khan, Descartes - among many others. He's an original, a clinician as well as a theoretician, and has a compassionate heart as well as a great mind.

This book is a kind of classic for what it is: a presentation of some "simple" ways of understanding certain phenomena in elementary particle physics. It's simple if you understand something of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), Feynman diagrams, and basic quantum field theory. You must be able to infer the computational implications of Feynman diagrams.

If you can do this, you may find the book to be useful and unique. If you can't, you're pretty much wasting your time with it.

As a Feynman fan and layperson with a reasonable understanding of his work I found this book lost me before I was halfway into the first chapter. It looks good coursework material and from what I can tell is packed with amazing amounts of information. But without a strong fundamental grounding in basic physics this book will remain on your bookshelf.

Presents broad range of common (and some rare) diseases/pathology with pithy, relevant discussion. Questions highlight important pearls. Quality of the images is sometimes less than desirable for demonstrating the findings, but this is a minor complaint.

Its an excellent companion to the Chest requisites. It is the best book in the case review series based on the requisites. Combined with the requisites its more than enouch for the chest section of the residency boards. A must buy for the residents!

A well written love story one with enough back ground to make you think what has happen in the pasted and what time will tell for the planet earth in the future.

A vision brings Soaring Hawk, an Ojibwe Indian in 1700 Northern Minnesota, a view of a world without trees and a woman with fair hair and blue eyes. He does not know he is seeing into the future -- 2250 to be exact -- the time of reporter Amaryllis "Rylla" Sheridan. Soon his vision comes true when Rylla visits a preserve, finds an arrowhead and unexpectedly timeports. Fortunately, Soaring Hawk chances upon her and takes her to his village.

Without knowing how she arrived, Rylla is at a loss as to how to return to her time. Technology makes communication easy, and soon she settles into life in the Ojibwe village. Fighting his attraction to her, Soaring Hawk refers to Rylla as Badger Woman because of her perchance for speaking her thoughts and her "lack of training." Her ways sharply contrast his methodical, thoughtful actions and rationing of words. Despite their radical differences, Rylla and Soaring Hawk discover a love that can last through all time.

Judi Phillips pens a memorable time travel in THROUGH ALL TIME. With an understanding of Ojibwe culture, Phillips pens a tale rich in background and filled with dynamic characters. Soaring Hawk's attempts to maintain disdain of Rylla provides light humor to contrast his painful background. Rylla's disillusionment with relationships finds healing within the Ojibwe community. I find it interesting that she's one of the few time travel heroines that regret leaving behind a family she loves -- precluding the easy answers so typical of the genre. While the focus is of course romance, that theme does not entirely dominate the novel. The secondary plot involving Five Feathers reveals the value of community verses the need to act independently, thereby adding a rich texture to this multilayered tale. A delightful read, THROUGH ALL TIME comes very highly recommended.

The 25 easy-to-use tools in Phillip Mountrose's award-winning "Tips and Tools for Getting Thru with Kids" comprise this life-enhancing extension of "Getting Thru to Kids". While the emphasis in "Getting Thru" is placed on the raising of our physical children, "Tips and Tools" widens its focus to include the child within. As we (adults) explore and resolve our inner conflicts, we position ourselves more appropriately in life. It is only from this confident, truthful and loving place that we can truly guide our children (and ourselves) along life's paths. In Phillip Mountrose's words: "As we discover our truth - and teach it to our children - what a world we will create!" Our family has used this book with tremendous success. As we did with "Getting Thru", we recommend "Tips and Tools" to the entire human race.

The tips and tools in this book are imaginative, easy to follow and actually work. Few books deal well with how to guide children to make good choices in life. After teaching for two years, I've tried many behavior modification strategies. The tools in this book have been the most helpful. You'll bookmark this book and use it over and over.

The authors do an excellent job of showing how the Allies were able to use their material superiority to best advantage and defeat the Luftwaffe. Counterintuitively, the main advantage gained by the strategic bombing program was the defeat of the Luftwaffe. It was only when the bombers started hitting important targets in Germany accompanied by escort fighters that the German fighters had to fight at unequal terms.

Great description of how the air war was won.

If one wishes to learn about the contributions of the US ArmyAir Forces in Europe during World War II, the literature is repletewith books and articles about strategic precision daylight bombing. However, in To Command the Sky, the authors have broken from the strategic bombing mold to inform us of how air superiority was achieved, and how important that victory was to allow the Allied forces to not only carry out their strategic bombing mission, but also to prepare the battlefield for D-Day. Indeed, without air superiority over the landing areas, the D-Day invasion of the continent would have certainly been more costly, if not impossible to achieve. This excellent book recounts how the Luftwaffe was defeated through a combination of strategic bombing and, more importantly, attrition of the Luftwaffe planes and pilots. Although the book begins with a brief history of military aviation and doctrine, the highlight for this reviewer was the chapter dedicated to training, especially since the authors look at both the American and German programs. Flaws in the German training programs directly contributed to their aerial defeat in 1942 - 1944. Due to the prohibition to maintain a German air force by the Treaty of Versailles after WW I, the Luftwaffe started training its pilots in Russia and Italy during the 1920s and 1930s. By the time Hitler announced to the world the existence of the Luftwaffe in 1935, he had established a formidable force. For myriad reasons though, problems consistently nagged the Luftwaffe and ultimately led to its defeat. These included a lack of training planes, a lack of qualified instructor pilots, little instrument flying time, and shortages of aviation fuel. The authors develop these shortfalls throughout the book and keep coming back to the conclusion that inadequate training was a major factor in the Luftwaffe's demise. Two other aspects of the battle for air superiority that the authors examine are the realizations that fighter escort would be needed to defend the bombers on their strategic strikes, and attrition warfare would be needed to defeat the Luftwaffe. Despite the fact losses from attrition warfare were high, the Allied commanders were willing to accept them knowing that replacement aircraft and qualified pilots were readily available. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading To Command the Sky as I felt it gave a truly balanced account of how fighters and bombers were both needed to achieve air superiority and bring about the defeat of the Luftwaffe. Lastly, the authors' insight into some of the key commanders (Eaker, Doolittle, Spaatz, Arnold) thinking was especially enlightening and appreciated. It put the struggles they faced in commanding such a large force in perspective, especially with regard to the D-Day timeline under which they operated. I believe To Command the Sky is a must read for anyone wishing to study the air campaign against Germany during World War II.

Turning Back The Darkness: The Biblical Pattern Of Reformation by Richard D. Phillips (Associate Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia) is a critical examination of God's principles, and pivotal turning points in the era of the Christian Church. Turning Back The Darkness does not specifically focus upon the crucial historical juncture of sixteenth-century Europe; rather, it reaches all the way into Old Testament and New Testaments, and ranges from the wisdom of Solomon to Christ's letter to the churches. Turning Back The Darkness is a very highly recommended and insightful religious analysis of interest to Christian scholarship and the non-specialist general reader alike.

This is a wonderful story of a young man who, in order to raise enough money to return to University, takes a job as a tutor at a wealthy estate. He soon finds love and nurturing, however, from a simple pious Scotch family nearby. Though his travels take him off to England and eventually to London he never completely forgets the valuable lessons that his spiritual father instilled in him. This story has ghosts, haunted mansions, secret passages, hypnotism, magic rings, songs, poems, beautiful ladies and sinister villans. The individual characters are expertly developed and extremely complex in their behaviors. I also recomend that you get the full length version from Sunrise Publishers or Johannesen Printing & Publishing entitled "David Elginbrod". The first 80 pages are a little difficult because of the Scotch dialect, but can be easily figured out.

This is an updated, easier-to-read version of George MacDonald's novel _David_Elginbrod_. With his bits of poetic theology, he leads the characters and the reader to ultimate freedom from paralyzing fear. It tooks months for me to realize how much _The_Tutor's_First_Love_ affected my life because the truths in this book are not gaudy or sensational but they slowly replace fear with faith. The revival of the works of George MacDonald is truly a Godsend.

So many believers are living in fear, depression, anxiety, and other torment. Dr. Phillips takes the Word of God and shows the Christian how Christ has already won the victory over these troubling strongholds of Satan. It is a practical, easy to read volume. A great counseling tool!

This book begins with Dr. Phillips own story of encounters with Satan-from there it moves to The scriptures for the best and clearest teaching on defeating Saqtan that I have ever read. Rich and practical-a book needed by all believers.

Excellent color photos and descriptions of vegetables both common and specialty types. Includes geographic and historic origins of those cultivated. Also includes information on many plants eaten as vegetables, but primarily found in the wild. Broken down by vegetable. Very easy to read. Includes information on common pests and diseases for the home gardener and the pictures and flavor descriptions are great for planning your garden.

Vegetables by Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix is by far the most informative book I have ever read and seen on the subject. It has been well researched with history of all the various vegetables, and contains excellent photographs. I found it in my local Library, but after a few minutes knew I had to own a copy. It could be refered to as the vegetable gardeners Bible.
